PROPERTY NOT ON TAX ROLLS
Oregon has five hundred million dollars worth of
marketable property that escaped 1 taxation, according
to the statement made by State Treasurer Tom Kay at
the Western Taxpayers' conference in Portland this
week. Mr. Kay added that if assessors entered that
property on the tax rolls it would go a long way toward
solving the problem of excessive taxation. This furn
ishes good food for thought for the assessors of the state,
who in all probability will continue to act on their own
judgment regardless of Mr. Kay's succesion. Therefore,
the way will remain open for tinkering with the tax
laws in'an effort to attain the impossible a system that
will satisfy everybody. What a wonderful thing it would
be if the cost of government could be maintained satis
factorily without everybody bearing their just proportion
of it. Roseburg NewS-Review.

REFERENDUM. WILL BE RESENTED
We doubt whether such astute organizers .and inciters
as Sanfield MacDonald and H. H. Stallard can interest
the people of Oregon in a referendum on the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act. Efforts of eastern
liquor interests to solidify "wet" sentiment in Oregon
will merely stimulate the activity of the Anti-Saloon
league. Even the employment of the two gentlemen
just mentioned will hardly suffice to' cover up the real
source of the agitation. Indeed, they merely call at
tention to the character of an attempt to undermine the
enforcement of the liquor laws that will be resented by
the people of Oregon. Oregon Voter.

WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING
ORIGIN OF "SISKIYOU"
By M. Hall McAllister
It is well known that the first
White men to visit the Pacific coast,
otlaer than the English and Spanish
explorers who came by the sea, iwere
the Canadian French trappers who
follower the .beaver and other fur
bearers right through to the west
ern ocean.
Tt'aeie hard men gave names to
the country, to the Indians and to
aatura! features, as they saw tliem.
and some of theae names have conic
down to the present day.
As these pioneers spoke only a
patois French mixed with a little
Indian, it naturally follows that
these western names are equally of
these mixed languages.
The following are well known:
nez perces means pinched noses, and
Gros Ventres for big stomachs. Title
well known norther Indians, Slski
yous, are six pebbles, as will later
be explained. Another FrenJ.i name,
pend ;o'rellle, earring; the lake of
that name shaped like an ear pond
ant, and Coeur d'Alene, the heart
ot the woods.
Now as to the word Siskiyou:
The meaning Is from two French
words, "Six1' meaning the numeral
six, and pronounced sies or sis, and
"caillottx", meaning pebbles.
When the Canadian trappers ar
rived In northern California tiney
noticed that t0o children of a cer
tain tribe played a game with six
pebbles, similar to the white child
ren's game of jackstones, and to
ed the trappers of the west of Lin
coln's assassination, they said that
Boot'o, the assassin, yelled "3ix ser
pents and a tarantula," the phrase
"sic semper tyrannis" being distort
ed as above. Mt. Shasta Herald.
STORK KEPT lil'SV
Bringing two babies on one gallon
of gas is the latest system of econ
omy and efficiency inaugurated by
the well known stork.
Two babes were deposited within
an hour of each other to residents
of the McGregory apartments on
Commercial avenue last night. At
7 o'clock a son was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Allen McGregory. An hour later
a daughter arrived for Mr. and Mrs.
Lonnie Smith living in the same
house.
The son was the McCregorys' first
child, the little girl the Smith's
fifth.- Marshfield Daily News.

exist there, it's beyond anybody's
power to deay truthfully that econ

degenerated disgracefully since the

In 1919, before the effects of Am

export to this country amounted to

$397,031.
That the decline was due to naval
maladministration doesn't necessar
ily follow. To some extent it cer
tainly doesn't follow.-

to insular Industries and trade have
