It must be fine to livo in a city where there are no in habitants who say thoy remember when it started. Poets up In Portland In meter smooth and stilted, Are writing to the roses, "Wilt thou?" and they wilted. Inst to vary the monotony, tho mttionnl committee once In a while hands Itooscvclt ono dolegate. Boston streetcar men have been on a strike. It 1s thought they ob jected to saying "hasten forward, please," instead of the rcguluatlon "step lively." In Oregon City a school teacher hud her salary raised. Tho news Is causing no end of excitement In edu cational circles. In London striking dockmen have been docked for striking on the docks. With a little collaboration ono could twist a fair twitter out of that. Tho way everybody is sidestepping the vlco-presldontial nomination looks well for Doc Kcono's chaucos. 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' citizens of the state, appointed by him, by and with the Z S7 .JT advice and consent ot the Senate, tor a term of twelve . shields pastorate, they i.o ii years, and until their successors are nominated and con- "Tho Young Ameriwn ciuu."

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 oilier order of! llimgs to oxist. This measure puts a graduated tux oil laud values, waler power and l'riincliicH belonging to ono man or corporation. It begins to npply nt .fi 0,000, All under that pny only tho regular levy.

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. About 100 Tailored Suits at One-Hal!
