Angel, $6,718.55. The very recent rush to get under the wire at the sheriffs office with the annual tax money and to pay the ever pressing urging of the department of internal revnue to the more fortunate has brought to the mind of the aver age citizen again that taxes are a constant burden. The well settled presumption that taxes are bound to rise if govern men ts continue to function and spend money does little to make taxpayers more cheerful. There is al most a certainty that taxes to the federal government will rise. Repair of roads and care of the aged are expected to increase county taxes. New roads and social security leg Approximately 250 men will be islation are sure to make state taxes higher. Schools have given temporary employment in a reduced their requests on the .taxpayer in this county to afford some relief. It is thus almost certain that taxpayers of all classes will be asked for ever increasing sums. The main concern therefore, is that the levying of such taxes be equalized to as great an extent as possible. A property tax limitation law, such as in effect in Washington, might be passed in this state to protect the property owner from tax increases that are already near the confiscation level. Schemes to help the farmer are plentiful these days; they bloom on every political bush. Those farmers whe have received property tax notices as large or nearly at large as their income from crops raised would certainly appreciate a reduction and consider it farm relief of a most practical kind. No other business could, or is expected tc, «fund a tax rate as high as many farmers have paid in the survey ^f all rural highways in the state beginning April 1, it was announced here by R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer. Cost of the survey is estimated at $300,000 of which the federal government will pay $250,000. The survey, ac cording to Baldock, will provide information upon v^hich to base al location of funds tn the future for improvements.

It started a bit before this time of year in fact, before the dock greens were out and while the snov still lingered on the north slopes. Whether we have departed from this custom because of a suspicion that perhaps sulphur and molasses was nol the cure-al it was supposed to be or because childrei attained to so much power in the family circle that they: over ruled the admonishments of the elders is not a matter of historical record. We presume that the latter reason is the more tenable one. At best perhaps sulphur and molasses was of more value to the mental or spiritual being than to the physical It did strengthen the soul if it did not the body. One had to have some iron in the system to look seriously at a spoonful of it and take it into the mouth. Of such stern childish habits were heroes made. —- One who could steel himself to sulphur and molasses as a spring time diet was never likely to be led astray in his pursuit of duty throughout a long life. Nowadays our habits are formed because they are easy and pleasant. Tomato juice may be as fine a tonic as the older one for the ills that beset the human frame at the end of winter but as a method of building stern adherance to principles it can never compete with sulphur and molasses. Radio crooners and such like may be developed from a population that uses tonics that please the taste but for the development of pioneers of the sturdy breed that fought Indians, felled timber and built homes on the edge of civil- ization in spite of difficulties and hardships, sulphur and molasses is recommended. ♦ Here it is almoat April during which we plant trees, start the base ball season and start fishing again. All of them are indications that life has reawakened after a winter of hiding from the cold. Pensions ranging from $15 to $35 a month for all needy persons 65 years of age or over, are ad vocated by the Fraternal order of Eagles which is sponsoring an ini tiative measure covering the sub- ject. Thë measure provides for payment of the pensions out of the state’s general fund without any additional tax levy. - Producers, consumers and distrib utors of horticultural products have been summoned by Solon T. White, state director of agriculture, to meet in Portland April 4 to con aider proposed changes in grades and standards. Pear growers of the Medford district ae understood to be urging adoption of the Los Angeles lug and the San 'Francis co lug as standard in this state. FOR SHERIFF: To the people of Sherman Coun ty. I- hereby announce my candi dacy for the office of Sheriff and Tax collector, on the Republican party ticket. X I have been a resident and a Taxpayer in Sherman County for twelve' years and, have always stood for Law Enforcement.

Apple growers of the Milton dis trict favor an orchard grade run of apples as defined in the Washing ton standards. Potato and onion growers are recommending the use of unbranded bags for No. 2 grade or better for eastern shipments. All of these proposals and many others will be considered at the forthcoming conference. In Other Days From the Observer March 30, 1917 A number of farmers around Moro have had their winter sown wheat killed by the cold winds and are reseeding at $1.75 per bushel. The rats and mice are so destruc tive at the George Hennagin farm that George is advertising f^ cats, any kind, color or previous condition* of servitude. The destruc tive rodents are chewing the har ness, eating the grain and cutting the sacks even in the coal shed. A. M. Wright was nominated for mayor and W. S. Powell, C. R. Bel- shee and J. R. Ginn for councilmen at a meeting of citizens held Jast Thursday evening. On account of the measles a num ber of pupils are out, especially in Miss Williamson’s room.
