COM M TITHES from tho regents of (ho Stale Univer
sity and Agricultural College, co-operating with spe
cial commit lees appointed by (Governor West, have pror
pared an initiative bill Tor submission to the people at the
November election, which will provide a millage tax for
both institutions and take them out of politics. A single
board of regents controls both institutions.
Tho bill provides an annual tax of six-tenths of one
mill on the dollar. The total amount of such tax as com
muted and determined each year, is apportioned among and
charged to the several counties of the state in the same
manner that other revenue required for state purposes is
apportioned and enargeu.
The State Treasurer until otherwise directed, credits
four-sevenths of the amount received, to the Agricultural
College Fund and three-sevenths to the University Fund,
until the first day of January. 1!)M. when the proportion of
said tax to bo credited to such funds, shall be subject to
revision and change by the Hoard ot Regents.
All money produced by the tax and placed in the
funds are for support and maintenance including the pay
ment of salaries, current expenses, construction of addi
tional buildings, purchase of land, purchase of equipment,
making necessary repairs, and in general for the payment
of all such expenses connected with the management of
such institutions as the Uoard of Regents thereof mav from
time to time determine, and the same shall constitute a
continuing appropriation for the benefit of such institu
tions, and any amount remaining to the credit of either
iustiution at the close of any fiscal year, shall be carried
over and credited to the amount of such iustiution for the
succeeding vear. and anv claims otherwise pavablo shall.
when duly approved, be paid from such funds regardless of
the time when thev were incurred.
The government, general supervision and direction of
both institutions is vested in a single Board of Regents to
be called "The Regents of the University of Oregon and
State Agricultural College of the State of Oregon," and
consist of the Governor, ex-officio, and six residents aiul J had a wcck,y U1,,, cUus- wml c,m'

Graduated Single Tax.
To ilio Editor:-
The Graduated Single Tax meas
ure, prnoticnlly nfisured to lie on the
ballot now, is nil there and 37 inches
wide.
It will reduce the taxes on every
woriiiiijj i'nniH'i' and every working
homo owner in Oregon. No lnun who
reads it who belongs to tho producing
clashes can kick on it. It means dol
lars! to him,
This may sound u little strong, but
tho producing inusheH linvo so long
hueu used to paying tuxes nnd letting
tlio big graftors and grubbers nnd
fritncliiso speculator go, that it
hccius impossible to tliem for uiiy

This measure puts a graduated tux

825 Wuwvstur lildj,'., Portland, Ore,
carnival have been
my 111 Ureijon s JNavv. wiion. in
resplendent uniform, Captain George S. Shepherd, who
had been legislated out of office, boarded the state's
dreanaught, the training ship Boston, and waved aloft a
circuit court Order declaring him captain by default, the
crew of one man told him to go to thunder and refused to
obey his stern commands, whereupon the valliant cap
tain pronounced him canned and assumed command.
In the still hours of the night following, the mutineer
affecte'd a bloodless victorv by recapturing, single-handed,
the warship. Xow the Governor litis ordered Commander
Simpson to take the captain's examination and qualify for
the post, retusmg to recognize .Shepherd as an ollicer.
It appears as if Captain Shepherd and his
full' dress uniform will have to go back to his old job of
running for congress, with a little legal work for the
Southern Pacific thrown in between campaigns. Run
ning for congress has been dignified into a profession by
the captain, who is also admiral of the fleet, be lias been
at it so long. The uniform may come handy in winning
votes when the women take a hand.
Oregon's naval militia ought to be staged as a part of
the Opera "Pinafore." Shepherd's career has a parallel
in that of the daughty Admiral who sings
"When I was a lad, served a term
As office boy in lawyers firm,
I wifshed the windows and I scrubbed the floor,
And I polished up the handle of the big front door
I polished it up so carefully
That now I am the ruler of the Queen's navy.'
HARD ON DOGS, EASY ON CAPITAL.
AN examination of the revenues of Los Angeles reveals
the interesting fact that the dogs of that city bring in
more revenue than the public service corporations. Other
figures show how poverty is taxed and wealth escapes.
For the year ending June 30, 191, Los Angeles re
ceived for dog licenses $24,247. During the same period
it collected from street cars, telephone and lighting com
panies and banks $20,733.92. In short, the dogs paid $500
more than all tlio magnates ol hig business.
Express wagons paid $22,384.20; street cars paid
$17,108.55. Difference in favor of express wagons, $5,
275.G5. Milk wagons paid $2,905.40; banking paid $2,545. Dif
ference in favor of milk wagons, $200.30.
Rubbish wagons paid $1,379.90; telephones paid $1.
275.50. Difference in favor of rubbish wagons, $101.40.
Manure wagons paid $43 1.10; insurance brokers paid
$208.49. Difference in favor of manure wagons, $105.01,
Fortune tellers paid $0,720 and pawn brokers paid
$0,500,05, but the lighting company paid only $004.80.
Inequitable taxation such as this, which is typical
of tho average American city, is what making socialists
so rapidly in the great population centers. Government
should be more than a burden upon the poor to the prof'il
of tho rich.
