EARLY SUGGESTIONS.
Oregon now sells $20,000,000 worth
of lumber a year. Of this $14,000,000
Is received by employees who put It
lu to local circulation. In other words,
you, whatever your business, share It.
About a billion feet Is destroyed by
lire In Oregon annually, which, If man
ufactured, would bring In $13,000,000.
On every thousand feet burned the
stumpage owner may lose $2, but
the community loses $8 In wages.
Timber means pay checks, to support
all industries; but if burned timber
pays no wages. Timber pays taxes
In your county; If it burns up, your
property has to pay the difference,
Help keep down forest fires and you'll
make more money. So will your chil
dren. Care with small fires Is the
best way to prevent big ones. Don't
toss away any burning matches or
tobacco! Don't make u camp fire
out of leaves, rotten wood, or against
logs, where It may spread or you can't
be sure it is put out- Always clear
all lnflamable matter away from
around your fire! Never leave a fire
until It Is out! Don't burn your slash
ings in the close season without a
permit from a Fire Warden! Don't
operate an engine without spark ar
rester In the close season! Put out
any fire you find if you can. If you
can't, notify a Fire Warden or other
public officer, or the land owner. He
member that any little fire may be-
come a big one if let alone. All these
rules but the first and last are law,
and violation Is punishable. Next to
water, earth is the best thing to put
out fire with. The best tools for fight
ing fire are the shovel, ax and mat

of the State Board of Forestry.
The AUrich bill proposes to increase
the tariff on razors from 55 to 100
per cent. This means doubling the
price of razors to every purchaser.
No less an authority than the Iron
Age says that this will effectually
shut out foreign competition, and thus
return no revenue to the government,
but that It will place the American
market at the mercy of the cutlery
manufactures, who now maintain one
of the strongest trusts In the country.
This trust is not only protected by
patents on articles and on machinery,
by copyrights and trade agreements,
but it asks absolute protection from
competition In the home market.
And the Aldrfch bill gives it. The
head of the Simmons Hardware Com
pany of St. Louis, who claims to
have sold in his fifty three years of
business, more razors than any man
who ever lived in the United States,
Is quoted In the Congressional record
as having said that the rate of wages
paid workmen in this country is very
llttlo more than Is paid for the Bame
kind of labor in Germany and Eng
land, and that we can not make as
good razors or grind them properly
in this country. America today man
ufactures about 20 per cent of the
razors used in the country. The AI
drlch bill Is intended to hand over
the remainder of the business to the
cutlery trust, and to do this It gives
it the protection of 100 per cent duty
when so high an authority as Edward
C. Simmons of St. Louis asserts that
there Is very little difference between
the rate of wages paid razor makers
hero and abroad. This raises the In
terosung question of what la a rea
sonable profit for the razor manufac
turer, such as the republican platform
guarantees him after It has made up
the difference in wngos.
To reduce the danger from forost
fires this year, the Stnte Hoard of
Forest Commissioners adopted a num
ber of regulations at Its last session
held In Olympia recently. The phrase
"In the immediate vicinity," appearing
in the. forestry laws is construed to
moan "within ono-quartor of a mllo,
and horeuftor It Bhall be unlawful for
any person, company or corporation
to operate any spark-omitting loco

within ono quarter of a mile of any
forest, Blushing, chopping, woodland
or bniHhland, during the closed sea
son without such pnglno or boiler bo
provided with a safe and suitable de
vice for arresting sparks. The word
"Isolated" where it appears in various
parts of the forestry laws, Is declared
to mean "not closer than ono quar
ter of a mile", and hereafter nothing
contained In chapter 161, Laws of
Washington, 1005, shall be construed
to prevent any person owning lands,
from burning logs, stumps, drift or
brush heaps, when such are burned

The Northern Pacific Railway is
experiencing such an extremely heavy
demand for Its literature pertaining
to the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Exposl
tion, that in addition to a total issu
ance of 73.000 copies of its elaborate
booklet and many thousand small
leaflets, a new edition of 25,000 of an
attractive sixteen page pamphlet has
been struck off and distributed among
its passenger representative. This
makes upwards of 200,000 pieces of
literature which the Northern Pacific
has issued and circulated, advertising
the Seattle fair, and every Indication
is that further supplies of the matter
will be required before the Exposi
tion is over.
When the first through train over
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad reached Seattle from the me
tropolis of Lake Michigan the first
part of last week, a new era in the
commercial life of the Great North
west was Inaugurated. . This train
brought President A. J. Earllng and
other leading officials of the company,
who made the Inspection trip and
prounouueed themselfes as well sat
isfied with their line. For the first
time in the history of any railroad,
the Milwaukee will publish a complete
set of tariffs Independent of the Trans
continental Freight Association. Pres
ident Earllng has announced that his
line will make its own rates independ
ently, thus going Into competition
with othertrans-contlnental roads, in
stead of playing in with them. He ex
plained that this does not necessarily
mean a freight rate war, but that tha
company wants to be at liberty to
make any rate that It sees fit, sub
ject to the rules of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, without hav
ing to consult Its competitors first.
That the Milwaukee Is destined to
become a strong factor In transconti
nental and overseas rate-making as
a result of this position, Is a fore
gone conclusion, and business men
are welcoming the Independence man
ifested, as It means much to them.
For their president, the members of
the Pacific Coast Advertising Men's
Association, have selected R. E. BIge-
low of Spokane. Other officers choos
en by the convention recently In ses
sion In Seattle, are: H. G. Longhurst,
Sacramento, vice president; Tom
Richardson, Portland, second vice
president; C. C. Chapman, Portland,
third vice president; B. I. Dasent,
Portland, secretary and treasurer: F.
J. O'Brien chairman of the execu
tive committee. Many noble address
es were made at the various sessions
and several plans evolved for attract
ing even more attention to this part
of the country. . One of the most In
teresting features of the convention
was the tour of the Pay streak under
the direction of James A. Wood, head
of the Exploitation Department of
the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Exposition.
All the attractions were thrown open
to the "ad" men and they had the
time of their lives.
The Washington Equal suffrage As
sociation will hold its Twentieth An
nual Convention In the lecture room
of the. Plymouth church, in Seattle,
beginning at two o'clock, June 30,
1909. This convention will be of un
usual Importance, acordlng to the an
nouncement just made by Mrs. Emma
Smith Devoe, president; not only be
cause of the pending woman-suffrage
amendment In November 1910, but
also because the State Association
will have the distinction of entertain
ing the Forty-First Annual Conven
tion of the National American Woman
Suffrage Association during its de
liberations from July 1st to 7th, inclu
sive. Special parties are coming here
from Now York and Chicago and will
be met by an escort at Spokane to
accompany the Easterners to Puget
Sound. The Woman Suffrage Day,
at which time the national officers will
havo full chargo of the progam in the
auditorium. It is expected that every
club In the state will be represented
by accredited delegates, and that as
many others as can come to Seattle
will attend this notable gathering.
The honor of unloosing the folds
of Old glory and exposing to view
the heroic monument erected in honor
of George Washington on the Alaska-YuUon-Paclflc
Exposition grounds, fell
to Eleanor Washington Caldwell, two
and a half years old. This little miss
is the great grand daughter of John
Augustine Washington, the laBt owner
of Mount Vernon, tho historic es
tate of the Father of his Country,
where the treasured remains rest.
The Htauto was done by Laredo Taft
and Is regarded as ono of the best
bits of sculpture in the country.
As the state of Washington bears
the name of tho country's first presi
dent, it Is fitting that this handsome
monument has been erected here, and
it was a happy coincidence that the
work should be exposed to tho view
of tho assembled multitude by a child
In whoso veins flows the illustrious
blood of the country's first patriot. A

notlble address was made on this oc
casion by M. J. Jusserand, the French
ambassador to the United States, who
declares that the love of his own peo
ple for George Washington is unbound
ed. At the close of the Exposition the
statue will remain on the State Uni
versity campus.
Of almost greater importance than
its revenue producing power is that
supervision of the transaction of cor
porations which is an inevitable con
comitant of the Taft proposition for
taxing their net earnings. Such trans
actions as the notorious manipulation
of the stock of the Chicago and Alton
Railway by E. H. Harriman would
be rendered practically Impossible by
the enactment of the Taft proposition.
Of course the proposed law would not
confer on the federal authorities the
right to prohibit specific stock trans
actions, but it would necessitate a
system of federal Inspection of the
books of corporations which, followed
by the reports to the commissioner of
Internal revenue, all of which are
made public, would prove an effective
deterrent to such corporate methods,
It is obvious that had Mr. Harriman
been compelled to work under the
eyes of federal inspectors and with a
realization that their reports would
reveal his transactions to the pub
lic Instead of behind closed doors of
a directors' room, he would have him
self realized that his scheme was fu.
tile and that any effort to have carried
it out would have made C. & A. stock
a drug on the market. Under all the
circumstances it is to be hoped that
Democratic Senators and Representa
tives, and their constituents at home,
will realize that the adoption of the
Taft proposition is in principle a Dem
ocratic victory: that it would never
have been adopted had it not been
for the intelligent and effective advo
cacy of the Income tax by the Demo
crats in the Senate; and that they will
not carry their loyalty to the child of
their own brain so far as to menace
a genuine reform even though it bears
the name of the present President of
the United States.
found the full text of the speeches on
the tariff ,and Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina In that debate showed
a new side to his complex and many-
sided character. Prefacing his re
marks with his usual preamble that
he felt bound "in an humble and
modest way, making no pretense
whatever of being an art conueis
seur, to voice his protest against the
imposition of a duty on works of art,
Mr. Tillman made the ablest argument
presented on the subject. Senator
Lodge, who enjoys the reputation of
being the most cultured man In the
Senate, Senator Aldrlch, whose wealth
and tastes have made him more than
an average judge of the fine arts, and i
Senator Root, who has been for years I
a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum
of Fine Arts in New York, all spoke
In favor of free art, but It remained
for Mr. Tillman, who glories in de
scribing himself as "a cornfield law
yer," to present the most eloquent and
forceful argument In support of the
free admission of what he termed
"those masterpieces that we can get
as a means of elevating the thought
and and inspiring the genius of our
people." To Mr. Tillman more than
any other was due the adoption of
the free art paragraph by a vote of
53 to 14.
It has been often remarked that It
Is a wise general who learns the weak
spots of his adversary through that
adversary's course, and no thoughtful
and judicious Democrat can fall to
realize from the course of Senator
Aldrlch the fundamentally weak spots
of the advocates of protection. Unin
tentionally, no doubt, Mr. Aldrlch has
made it perfectly clear that the men
of his school fear above all else the
development of any systef of Internal
revenue to a point where It will
come to be regarded as a source of
income to the federal government as
proper and depandable as the duties
on imports. A realization of this fact
must convince sincere and thoughtful
Democrats that the Important end to
be attained is the adoption of some
form of Internal revenue taxation
which will stand the test of the courts
and which will come to rival the pro
tective tariff in tho public mind as a
proper and legitimate source of reve
nue. It Is gratifying to note that Presi
dent Taft Is finally determined to take
a hand In the situation in the Senate
and is earnestly striving to have ad
ded to the tariff bill a provision im
posing an Internal revenue tax of
two per cent on the not earnings of
corporations. Of course the fact that
this Is to be offered as a substitute
for the Bailey-Cummins Income tax
proposition Is not lost sight of and
from a purely Democratic standpoint
the income tax might be preferable
It would be unwise, however, to fall
of a realization that the surest pro
gress Is accomplished by easy steps
and that although from a revenue
standpoint the corporation tax Is a
much shorter step than an income tax
would be, an income tax would be at
tended by certain dangers from which
the other proposition is free. Despite
the fact that the income tax is advo
cated by some of the ablest lawyers
in the Somite it would be foolish to
Ignore the fact that, In the absence of
a constiutlonal amendment, such an
excise must always be menaced bv
an adverse decision of the Supreme
Court.

, Every Little Helps.
The Oregonlan Is ever wincing,
when a new idea In politics brings
afresh the thought of Its defeated boss
politician, and in Sunday's edition it
says:
It was an awful "Mistake" which
the Republicans of Portland have
made, and recommend to the Republi
cans of the state this advisory as
semblyif they don't want to elect
any more Democratic Governors and
Senators. But If they want to elect
Republican Governors and Mayors and
Senators why, that's different. The
Democratic press is awfully afraid the
Republican party is ruining all Its
future."
Yes, indeed it was an awful mis
take the Republicans of the state have
made, if they den't want to elect any
more Democratic Governors and Sen
ators. It was not only an awful mis
take, the machine politicians made
but an awful blow to the ring and
tricksters over the whole country.
It simply put the little matter of a
proper representative of the people
where It i-lghtfully belongs In the
hands of the people, where It will un
doubtedly remain, regardless of the
tiresome prattle of soreheads.
Portland's Newest Banking House.
Portland has reason to be proud of
Its new banking institution, the Lum
berman's National Bank, just moved
Into Its new quarters at Fifth and
Stark streets. The business rooms
are finished in beautiful Skyros mar
ble. The Grecian stone is used for
a waincoatlng throughout the lobby,
the arrangement is such that darker
shades are below, while the brightest
are near the top of the wainscoatlng.
Blending admirable in color and with
rare harmony of design, straightline
bronze wickets surmount the marble
wainscoatlng. In devising these, the
architect has avoided shut-in effects,
giving to the whole a business air, ar
tlstlcl finishings and profuse light.
A solid marble vestibule of the same
Grecian stone gives the visitor a
splendid first Impression. Electric
fictures have been eBpically designed
for the bank, the motif running
throughout bronze. Mexican mahog
any of a dark, rich color is used In
all of the office furniture, and the In
terior partition linings. The commo
dious directors' room has a beauti
fully rich yet plain mahogany set; the
president, vice-president and chshler's
desks and the account desks are of
the same wood.
One of the wonders and beauties
of the mechanical age Is found in the
great door of the coin vault. Weigh
ing eight tons, fitted with the best
time-lock attachments mechanical
genius offers today, with a face con
sisting of hardest steel nine inches
in thickness, this massive door swings
on ball bearings. The steel of this
door la three inches thicker than
that of any other banking door in the
city.
The coin vault itself Is a great steel
safe, Its sides, ends, ceiling and floor
having three Inches of the hardest
chrome and armor steel. Around this
great safe have been built reinforced
concrete walls, through which run
three set of three inch steel bars,
placed so cloce together that they
constitute almost steel walla. The
entire coin vault structure weighs 30
tons. Besides the coin vault is a
massive book vault, built of concrete,
and absolutely proof.

Cure For Poison Ivy.
A writer In "The Emergency Serv
ice" says: "Ragged milkweed will cure
oak or Ivy poison. This fact should
be generally known by all who love
to roam the woods. Being In the
woods nearly all the time, I used to
be bothered every summer, getting
poisoned two or three times every sea
son. I learned of the milkwood cure
accidentally, as I would rub the itch
ing places with all kinds of shrubs and
weeds until one day I let the Juice of
a milkweed run on some of the ridges
on my hands and noticed that It dried
up the blisters and stopped nil itching
Since then I have tried this remedy In
many different cases and at all stages,
and It has invariably cured every case.
I have had to cure some people two or
more times before they would believe
in the milkweed, as they were using
other things nt the time the milkweed
Juice was applied."

GATES ON STOCK FARMS.
Those of Steel Recommended For Con
venience and Protection.
It is a common observation that
comparatively few farmers are awake
to the advantages and economic Im
portance of practical, dependable gates
for protection and convenience, says
the Breeder's Gazette, Chicago. Their
tolerance of the crude, Ineffective af
fairs used as gates argues a want of
enterprise and business Judgment that
In some sections is astonishing.
Experiences are common lu every
agricultural community that should
induce stockmen, particularly breeder!,
of pedigreed stock, to maintain their
gates and fences in the best possible
condition. Many a two dollar gate

Mm. Ignored, It Is sure to cause acci
dents and trouble representing hun
dreds of dollars. Good business farm
ers will not Ignore It.
We recommend no special make of
steel gate. It Is the type that we here
approve- and urge as n new and sig
nificant depurture. Wooden gates of
modern, Improved design should al
ways be given preference wherever
cost and service favor them as against
other types. Whether the one or the
other shall be adopted Is a simple ques
tion of dollars and . ents, to be decided
on that basis and in accordance with
Individual conditions nnd predilections.
There Is a large pl ice for both wooden
and steel gates In avli ulture, but a
comparison based on all the qualities
required In an efficient farm gate
makes the steel type a favorite with
thousands of corn belt farmers.
