is paramount that the program as in

principal is at stake, not the man upon
whom the honor is to be conferred. The
people by a large majority have tiken
this means to elect their senators by a
direct vote. They have done so, now let
the leijisiature establish this custom tor

The Oregon legislature, the Moyer-
Haywood trials in Idaho and Con
gress, all promise to furnish the news
papers a great deal of interesting matter
during the next two months.
It is just possible that Senator John B
Foraker thinks that he sees an opportu
nity to side track President Roosevelt as
a candidate in 1908. thru his attack on
the President in removing those colored
regiments. It n more than probable that
before he gets thru with his tactics, his
tory will record the fact that Foraker

f I state taxes of this and other counties
were very low compared with previous
years, and the covernor claimed all the
: credit for this reduction in taxes. The
J ; Observer pointed out, a day or two-after
J i theGi vernor made this remarkable claim.
nit the lowness of the tax levy was due
o the fact that the main appropriation
bill was being held up by a referendum,
jnd that state officials had not levied any

aoove the usual levy to pay for these
appropriation. Some of the governor's
henchmen took offense at this contention
of the Observer. Word now comes from
Salem to the effect that the state taxes
llrs year will have to be nearly twice as
n ih as last year, and that this is due to
li e fact that last year no levy was made
to pay a large amount of the appropria
t .-ns made by tho last legislature and
t".at these ha.'e to be paid now. The
Governor ought now to explain how he
care t0 be guilty of such a demagogic
