I M.iim . 1-. a;ri"-:tow - Abu? Zs Cp To Pierce Oregon at tlio polls voted the state income tax njrainst tlie most terrific fightiiij? opposition that has confronted any meas ure since, the days of direct legislation became a fact. The majority is small, but the opponents to the law an nounce they are through and will fijht no longer except to test it out in the com Is for leak's and weak places, a thing which is essential with any law. With the passage of this measure by the people conies o . ierrific responsibility to Walter Al. Pierce, governor of Oregon. Ho'.' must see that this law operates in the way that it was in tended. i He must see that the income tax collection department is organized without waste and that the present tax collecting ma chinery be used in' every county and in the state where at an possible. He must make the success of this law which many of us believe is possible, else the whole principle oi income tax win fall in Oregon, and rightfully so. , l'robably the outstanding duty of the governor, if any one duty along taxation lines can be greater than another, is to apply the funds raised from the income tax toward lowering the general tax. If there is failure in this one point an insensed and justly indignant state will arise in its wrath as it never has arisen before. The governor's work has just begun. He now has the tool.' to work with. He now has the mandate of the people behind him. Let him show the results. lV.'i - . . ' K MAVWf - r- " '' f JL, - .- j .

On the Weston mountain and on Why "Ism" Flourishes A humorist, writing of i family given to frequent change of habitation, tolls how the chickens of the moving owner, on noting signs of a coming change of habitation, lie on thoir backs i'.nd hold up their legs to be tied. So the "ism" faddists seem to have become so resigned to seeming change of metaphysical or psychical position by so-called thought leaders that, on the offer of a new "ism" they pnfmptly make themselves re:idv to be tied. ' . Hence the increasing number of new-thought schools that are rising on every hand. The long-headed exponents of "isms," jwith an eye to the main chance and with ear to the ground for "tips" as to the direction of fad sentiment, are reaping enor mous profits out of the gullible, as witness the packet! audi ences in attendance on their lectures and the thronged class i;ooms of certain teachers indorsed by the "fashionables." I Much of their "stuff' though labeled new, is really old Much of their teaching listed as wisdom is exploded sophistry The novelty of their idea is chiefly in the dressing. But Urn tjemmingly is of no interest to the followers of frequently chang ing "isms." They do not stop to count the- cost of indulgence in the "ism", mad and hold up their feet to bo tied and theii purses to be untied. So the "isms" flourish.

This country has been buying silk to the value of around I? 100,000,000. .The disaster which has befallen Japan is likely to cause a big boost in prices, for not only were vast quantities of silk destroyed but the production will be diminished for a time at least and marketing dislocated. Until Japan set ties dovn and approaches normal conditions silk is likely-to bi a real luxury. , Silk is not for the wealthy alone. All classes insist on it. It may have a wide range in quality but so long as it is silk oik is properly dieted and possessed of seif-respect. Silk is the emb lem of our democracy where one is as good as any of the others, if one has the nnmer amount of silk on the tuM-son. That woo! ! hie a.W 1.1 1... I.... ....I I'.... 41 I. ..4 4.... !
