In spite of the reeent disappointing popidaiJon figures, however, which naturally increiise. the per capita showint;. local tax payers can find considerable solace in the comparative table. With a population of L'l),IO."i, Jackson county show a per capita tax of $lli.71. This is sufficiently alt it nilinoiis, but the following counties exceed Jackson as follows: Clatsop, $72.8!); Columbia,' .47.0" ; Crook'. sf(i!).87 ; (Jilliam 5:i.0: ; Harney, $7:2.8:1; Hood Kivcr, $47.27; Jefferson, .$5!).r!) ; Klamath. 71.7fi; Lake .").").:; .Malheur, ..-(i.!l8 ; Morrow, 78.ai ; Shennan $(jl.22; Tillamook !f'7.'Ui0. Jn other words Jackson county is No. J4 in the list, of counties, but tin: three counties below Jaclwou. including Josephine wtih $14.22. have a tax approximately the same. The tax levy for Medford is 1 .".!, pla cinr this city No. (i4 ifj a list of the state. Amonjj the cities exceeding .Medford are the followiii": Ashland, 20.0; Astoria, 18.7; Maker. 10.1 ; IJend. 40.2; Unite Kalis, 20; Corvullis, 18.4; Cottage Grove. 2G..'i: Clendale, 17.C; Grants Pass, 22; Mood Kivcr. 18.(i; Jacksonville. 2!) ; Klaniat h Falls. 27.5; Madras, :)5; Oregon City, IS; Phoenix, 27 ; I'rineville, ;':!.l; Uoguo Kivcr, 20; Tal r lit, 18; West Salem. 27.2; Woodburn, 1U.2; and Yamhill, 22.(i. .Medford is exceeded by Grants Pass, Klamath, Ashland and prac- tically evcry municipality in .Southern Oregon. !So while local taxes are high and represent a genuine burden upon property owners, it will be seen that, comparatively speaking, .Medford and Jackson county have less to complain of than cities and counties of similar size through out the state.

A church wide campaign now when wo aro trying so desperately to ox trlcato ourselves from tho wreck ago of a financial collision? Is tho Methodist church entity? Have . the swivel cbalr secretaries come ' hack to us from a purlod of hiber nation lo harass us with another drive? Onu can nolo by tho Albany Demo crat, that "the evening theme at tlm Christian church, 'Hypocrites,' was attondod by a smaller crowd than usual." It now develops that If nil promised federal jobs by Sen.

WK all have hours of sadness, when we abandon mirth, Mild talk about the badness of everything on earth. Perhaps (hi; grub we swallow has made our innards ache, and we say life is hollow, a grim and ghastly fake. PcrhnpH some firm is busted, whose stock we lately bought, anil we are sore disgusted, dis couraged and distraught. Perhaps the neighbor's Dorking has scratched our brans again, and we with language corking, de nounce thai active hen. l!ut after, eight hours' sleeping we're glad and gay once more, and have no use for weeping, anil think that grief's a bore. ('iiiWliiimtc the mortal who rises from his couch, ami feels no wish to chortle, but airs it beastly grouch. Man's sorrow should be driven by slumber from his mind, for that's why sleep is given to weary humankind. A grouch is, in the ghianiiiig, it common thing with us, for then tired men tire comb ing their souls for things to cuss; their feet are full of thistles, their whiskers full of hay, and no one sings or whistles tit the closing of the day. lint in the lirillianl, morning, when all the world is bright, the healthy man is scorning the spectres of last night. How Much Do You Know? Help! Wanted Some of tho delin- fluent subscribers to pay up. (Cold Hill News.) All tho distress is not In Armenia. There Is quite a difference botween tho lady barber of Portland, who whocdled JlO.OUu out or a bookkeeper for a contracting firm, and the madam who gently poisoned five husbands for tho same amount. The lemlnlne cliln whacker administered the same amount of pain, but kept within the law. As to the erring bookkeeper: when ho gets out he will not euro for romance with his lather. BUT ENOCH DIDN'T (Yreka News.) Sheriff A. S. Calkins went to Oil hi linn last Monday anil brought back with blm Knoch I. Will, who was wanted In llillshoro, Oregon, on a charge of wile desertion.
