It may be remarked though that all the measures in which Brownell was especially interested had been salely acted upon. no more than is generally done by all the legislators, who when the clock registers midnight of the fortieth day, after being turned back a few times, leave the unacted on bills to their fate and they, that is the bills, die in the committees' hands.

It is probable it would not have got by had not a compromise been agieed on by which it was submitted to the people by referendum. The Capital Journal has called attention several times to the different roads taken by the legal mind and that of the layman in dealing with questions of law. This may tie the reason the idea of taxing the lands seems It was expected the legislature would adjourn Satur day night, but there were a number of bills not acted on, and during the alternoon it was agreed to hold Monday. It is likely the session will end sometime today though it may be well toward midnight.

They certainly did not revert to the state of Oregon, for it never had a shadow of title, nor has it now. Congress in forfeiting the lands or rather in the acts subsequent to their being so declared by the court, practicaly admitted the roads had an equity in the lands. If it has anything in the way of interest in those lands now, it is this equity. Then the question conies up: Is that equity, the extent of which has not yet been decided, taxable ? It would seem to the lay mind, not. Suppose a city lot valued say at $1,000 here in Salem was assessed to John Doe, and at the same time Richard Roe had an enuitv in that lot in the sum of $100, would the equity as well as the property be taxed? Or, to bring the matter still nearer the same conditions: Suppose the city of Salem sold a lot to John Doe, taking a mortgage for the larger part of the purchase money; and later through failure to pay the mortgage should be foreclosed but with a decree that a certain portion of the money paid should be returned; could the taxes on the property ho nnlWtpd from the citv sum) v because it had taKen 'V XV over the pre this sum decreed by could he be assessed for it? The railroad lands in question originally belonged to ot the party to wnom points out that while Germany is suffering from food shortage that she still has vast resources and will oe anie to continue the struggle for a long time. He asserts that the critical period of the war will come within the next few months, and advises that good and bad news be re ceived with the same gameness and determination, and that there is but one thing to do and that is "stick it out." It is a hopeful sign that of the appropriations made two years ago some $200,000 remain unexpended. This is a rather remarkable thing for it has been the practice not in Oregon alone by any means, for departments to use up all the money appropriated for them lest a precedent should be established and future appropriations be cut down. An open season for beavers in Benton and Marion counties was declared by the legislators principally by the efforts of Representative Lafferty. The clams on the other hand will get a rest over in the Yaquina bay section, a closed season being declared for them. rPVio 'Tlnd frtvon diifks " owiriP- to Senator Gill's love for i ZSfiSSk by the court a. tho purchaser's due, , to be slaughtered by wha Sena or Dmuck cabs PoU- i land game hogs," at the rate of :$5 a day lrom behind tne blinds on Sturgeon lake, m bauvies island. . t j mi JV'l mere 3? , Mtar jrisat; tney are returned u aim aam ueuuuic wre f''v , h i v, tio nnn no n ni,1).ff;11 Hnwf vpp there is a Ou.Vmualgovenn.n.nt.

It is a question of law, not of fact that is to be decided, and if the people should order the lands placed on the assessment rolls what would the order amount to? Would it change the status of the lands? Would the decision of the people of this state have any weight with the supreme court in deciding a question of law? It looks as though representative Bean, and Sen ator Olson were simply making, grand stand plays for the benefit of the dear people. The latter wanted to know in his argument before the senate: "Whether this state was a vassal, or whether it shall assert its rights to tax the land within her own borders." We will not deny that the state has the right to assess all government lands within the state, those of the land grant with them, but we fancy the paved roads projected for the state will all have been completed and worn out before a cent of the tax is ever collected. However it places the state in position to start a nice little law suit and lose it. unexpended appropriations. the Anywav the cranberry boxes were standardized and bee inspectors were placed on the state's pay roll.

My kindly New Thought neighbor, who finds this life a smile, comes over here to labor and talk with me a while. "Your head's not really aching," he says to me, "old hoss; your dome of thought is faking, and putting bunk across. There's no such thing as anguish, there's no such graft as pain, and invalids who languish are never safe and sane. Forget vour wild and woolly belief j!n pain, today; just swear you're feeling bully, and you j will feel that way." When nothing is the matter, and I am j hale and sound. I like that kind of chatter-I eat it by the pound. But when my head is aching, until you hear it creak, and some one says I'm faking, I raise an angry j shriek, a loud, blood-curdling holler, that makes his life i blood freeze; and then around his collar I tie his feet I and knees. 1 Recent hop sales have heen reported as follows: L.

Those who go "across lots," or the get-rich-quick route, encounter many pitfalls. The main-traveled road to success is the one which leads to the savings bank. It may seem slow to some, but proof abounds that those who keep on it succeed in accumu lating money and learn to handle it wisely. Suggestion: Make an "every-pay-day" de posit at this bank and you will "arrive" sooner than those who take the route "across lots to riches."
