APRIL 10 1908 The tax question has been taken up by the Pendleton Commercial Associa tion, with tbe result tbat a committee baa been aDcointed to investigate and report on oonditiona as it flnds tbem. Surely tbe Pendleton TribuDe ia in er ror when it states tbat tho association bos clotbed this committee with au tority tbat extends over tbe actions of tbe oounty couit, and with power to supervise tbe expenditure of connty fnods. Suoh could be tbe case, bardly. Tbere is but one Tammany association that of New York City. Of course, tbe Tribune, being on tbe ground floor of affairs at tbo couuty seat, may have basis for its statements in tbe matter, but it will be neoessary for tbat paper to inaugurate a oampaign of education for tbe people of tbe connty along tbis Hue. Tbe Trituue should do it by dogrees, too. To bolt tbe whole chunk, is a gastronomic feat wbiob should not be expected of tbe Umatilla conn ty tax payer. He lias more thau a "white man's burdon" on his shoul ders, now. Additional ones on suob short notioe will not be tolerated. Tbat tbere is room for disouasion in tbe matter of taxes is evideut, nud tbe notion of the Pendleton Commercial Association iu moving for a meeting of tax payers of tbe oounty for tbe pur pose of participating in tbis disonssion, is commendable and should be properly encouraged.4 Tbe Western Leader is oufllug tbe sidewalk question, and says of the in activity ofr Westou property owuers: "The Lfador is impressed by the re markable .uiiauimity with wbioh its V-eanbrneots for better sidewalks and a tl, ane town are disregarded by tbe jV -a populaoe. After last week's t luota hammer stirred, jiot a vXw!tj was disturbed from its normal ' repose. "NVa. see tbe same old boles iu tti same old sidewalks, and I watrd-jilngerly upon too same I slithery boards. Westou, wy lit immutable. 'Ob Uod, tbv ... "vyestetdayV.ioday and tomorrow I" ' eatqu., gieeps not alone iu its lethar- 10 negloot of sidewalks and proporty improvement. Tbere are other towns iu a like state of hibernation, but in tbis reapeot, with tho exooption of,,a few spots, Athena stands with a coin- paratively clean reoord. With tbe replacement of three or four crosswalKi and the oleaniug up of a vaoaut let or two, the town would be all tbat could be reasonably expooted of itrelatively sneak in ir. J o- fn . In last week's Press tbere was ptisr ed a oommunioation from Mr. Cths. Browu, relative to bis tax assessment. Prom tbe following answer made by -. Assessor Strain, Mr. Browu is un doubtedly iu errr. Mr. Strain says: "Mr. 0. II. Browu is mistaken about bis assessments. His six 4?ts and two bouses were assessed by us at $510 and equalized at $3040. The assessment, appears in vol. 1, page 67 of the 1907 assessment roll. He has misread tbe figures. Our ratiug on tbe same prop erty for 1908 is $1720." It will be remembered that Mr. Brown stated iu his ooruuinnioatiou to tbe Press, that bis property bad been equalized at $id20. Exoessive taxation ? discord and roseutmeut in the t rauVs of the tax payers, and Mr. Strain1 undoubtedly is kept busy with ex planations. . ( M. D. Wisdom of Portland, secre tary of the Oregou-Alaska-Yukou-Pa-oiOo exposition vonimissiou, is compil ing a booklet "on the resources of Ore gon, which is to be distributed at tbe exposition iu Seattle, iu 1909. Tbis booklet will be priuted on good paper aud well illustrated with Oregou scen ery. Besides tbis it will ooutaiu a write up of the state's resources aud each county will be giveu a special notice. The commission is frgnring ou publishing 800,000 copies at a cost of $10,000. These wil be distributed from the publioity bureau in tbe Ore gon building. A abort time ago, following from the October etriugeuoy, common la borers iu Boise City conld find little or uo work, but tbere is great demaud 'now fot men in all lines. Contractors experience oonsiderabln difficulty in securing sufficient help to properly push the projects in hand. Oue contractor even went to police headquarters and promised to give work to every mau the city authorities bad that they could release on condition they be given work, offering $2.50 to 3 per day, but tbere were uo prisoners in tbe city jail. Conditions in every line of activity are materially improved, and tbe year's business in and around Boise will be np to tbe average. Dean Wright, of Yale, reports that tbe boys wbo live luxuriously do not make a good showing in scholarship. During a period of tbree years three times as many disciplinay warnings have been sent to young men wbo live in expensive private dormitories as to tbe students living in tbe rooms on tbe campus. Tbe old tradition tbat frugal habits make good thinking- bag never been unsettled by facts. Still, a rich boy need not be discour aged from going to college. It is pos sible to study at a $300 mahogany desk. Toy dealers declare the teddy bear oraze is dying out. When tbe stores closed late Christmas eve, most of tbe toy departments were pretty well olear ed out exoept for teddy bears. During tbe holiday rush thousands of dogs, elepuuts. monkeys and rabbits, made of furry cloth and stalled as are the teddy bears, were sold, but few of the great numbers of bears tbat went into the toy shops early in the season left tbe shelves. Tuesday oue-half of tbe 15,000 sa loons in 84 of the 102 counties in tbe state of Illinois were voted ont of ex istence. Tbe result comes not as a surprise as it was generally predicted that tbe Aim-Saloou league wonld banish liquor from 000 of tbe 1200 townships iu wbioh looal option was to fee voted on. Tbe liquor interests on the other band made good their pre election statement, that they would be able to bold all tbe larger cities in tbe "wet" column. In addition to tbe wireless telegraph, theaters, barbers, elevators, cafes and newspapers, transatlantic liners are to be equipped with tailor and dress making shops. Tbe world is beginning to realize tbat they were truly "wise men" who put to sea in a plain bowl. UNIVERSITY REFERENDUM Certain Ling oounty grangers, aided by an elem if misguided voters iu 3Ut ore eu ..um ou tbe appropriation .iiis movement is uuwise and .or. . ee it fail for lack of signatnres. Tbe grade of college wqrk done by tbe University of Oregon if tbe "iiigbest in tbe state, and any Attempt to withhold its appropriation is a serious rtfleotion ou tbe intelli gence of onrpeople. '- All of our neighboring states are maintaining first-class universities, aud if Oregon is to keep paoe with her neighbors in educational work she should do likewise. Tbe foundations have been laid at Eugene for a fine university, but tbere can be no growth of development so long as the institu tion is maintained on the present ap propriation of $47,000 a year. There is au urgent 'demand for more land, bnildiuga, books, apparatus and addi tional instructors. Tbe attendance baa doubled since 1901, yet the income if tbe school bas not increased. If tbe appropriation made by tbe last legisla ture is withheld tbe university will be in a deplorable condition before addi tional f nuds can be secured. The University of Oregon has mado au exoellent record considering the niggardly policy of the state toward it iu the past, aud, if given tbe liberal sappovf tba. Is accorded to otber states, it will become of great use to tbe people Tbe university has come to stay, and although it may receive oooasioual blows from cranks aud demagogues, if will win out in tbe eud. If tbis till is submitted to the people we venture tbe prediction that it will be approved by a very large majority. . If these self-appointed reformers in Linu oounty were sincere in their de sire to save wouey for tbe tax-payers tbey would owl for a referendum upon some of the grafts tbat are enjoyed iu oertaiu localities, instead of trying to destroy the tlnest institution of higher learning in the state. Falls City News. A ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN. Bob Burdettn, of the Burlington Hawkeye, is a sage as well asjhumorist and much of bis best philosophy is told with a vein of fun iu it, tbat gives it relish to the reader, and at the same time carries conviotion to the mind. His "advioe to a young man" ap plies equally well to tbe human animal iu other and older stages of life Bead how be pa's it: Remember, son, tbat the world is oldor tbau you are by several years; tbat for thousands of years it has been so fall of smarter and better young men than yourself tbat their feet stuck out of tbe dormor windows; tbat wbeu they died the old globu went whirling on, aud not one man in the million went to the funeral or eveu beard of the deatb. Be as smart as you can, of course. Know as much as you can, without blowing the packing out of your cylin der head, shod the light of your wisdom abroad iu the world but dou't dazzle people witb it, and don't imagine a thing is so, simply because you say it is. Dont' tie too sorry for your father beoanee be knows much less than you do; remember tbe reply of Dr. Way la'id to tbe student of Brown Univer sity, wbo said it was an easy enongb tbing to. make proverbs such as Solo man wrote. "Make a few," tersely re plied tbe old man, and we never heard that the young man made any, not more than two or three, anyhow. - Tl e world bas gieat need of young men, but no greater need than tbe yonog mau bas of it. Your clothes fit you bettor than your father's fit bim tbey cost more mouey, tbey are more stylish; yonr mustaobe is neater, tbe cut of your bair is better, and you are prettier, oh, far prettier than "pa. ' But, young man, tbe old gentlemeu gets tbe biggest salary, and bis borne ly, scrambling signature ou tbe busi ness end of a check will drain more money out of tbe hank in five minutes than you oould get out witb a ream of paper and a copper-plate signature in six mouths. Young men are useful, and tbey are ornamental and we all love them, and we couldu't engineer a pionio success fully without tbem. But tbey are no novelties, son. Oh, no; nothing of tbe kind. Tbey have been here befcre. Do not be so modest as to shut yourself clear out; but don't be so fresh you will have to te put away in tbe cool to keep from spoiling. Don't be atraid your merits will not be discovered. People all over tbe world are bunting far you, and if you are worth rinding, tbey will find you. A diamond isn't so easily found as a quartz pebble, but people search for it all tbe more in tently. Death Was On His Heels. Jesse P. Morris, of Skippers, Va, bad a close call iu tbe spring of 1906.
