COMPARATIVE TAX FIGURES.
TAXKS arc nlwnvs fimrly. AVfl liirtlw. dcntlis uil Hit- weallirr,

Icvii-K i'nr V.Y ptililisln-cl by thn Oregon .Vl'li Ihwfor, furnishes in
formation of ficuninc interest to the people, of .Medford and Jackson
county.
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. " 1

METHODISM HAS ENOUGH

... Another financial campaign? A

wo aro trying so desperately to ox
trlcato ourselves from tho wreck
ago of a financial collision? Is

nation lo harass us with another

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

HOURS OF SADNESS.
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.

amount of pain, but kept within the
law. As to the erring bookkeeper:
when ho gets out he will not euro for

ainti Tins Week -
EVERYBODY is going to "paint "everything
that needs any paint this week! It is
"Civic and Home Pride Week" as well as
"Paint-up Week." Do your part. . Make every
thing about your place look new.
When you do yours, your neighbor will want
to do his. Your neighborhood will look like a
"brand new" community. .There is nothing that
can outwardly improve the looks of houses as
much as paint. Inwardly, too, because house
wives will want the inside to look as well as the
putside. - '
And rememberit's" not only going to make
things look better, but Paint-up
Week will make things last longer.
Paint protects all surfaces. Con
stant exposure to weather eventually
makes your paint crack and become
faded and dull. So "Paint-up
Week" may be just the thing your
house needs, anyway. Take advan
tage of this special "Paint-up" time
to make your home an. object .of
pride.
