EDITOR
HOW ABOUT THIS?
The coming income tax sets one to
thinking a little, and one of the leads
is why not use this as a basis for rev
enue to run the country on?
Everv little while you will hear
some fellow who is clamoring for i
reduction of tariff duties on the nec
essities we do not produce enough of,
answered that this country must have
revenue to pay expenses.
And why wouldn't it be a good idea
to cut out the tariff wall on all such
commodities and put the loss of rev
enue a tax on incomes even graded
down to the income of the day labor
er?
Under the present tariff taxation
the uoor man pays about as much
taxation as the millionaire only it is
indirect and he doesn't really see them
collect it.
Under a graduated income tax ev
ery man would pay in proportion to
his ability to pay.
This paper would like to see our
Chinese tariff wall torn down and a
direct tax take its place a direct tax
according to a man's wealth.
THREE SHELL GAME
They say law and legal decisions
are founded on reason.
Some of them are the result of the
fool killer neglecting his duty.
Louisiana passed a state law com
pelling shoe manufacturers who sub
stitute anything for leather to so
ptamp that shoe that the buyer might
know how much paper he is buying.
And immediately a handy district
court jumped in and pronounced the
law invalid on the ground that it was
"an unwaranted interference with the
right of contract and of holding and
disposing of property.
There is no more bottom to this de
cision than there would be in a de
cision of the U. S. supreme court that
a law against counterfeting money
was invalid for the same reason.
Or the nationul law making oleo
margarine dealers label their product
It is- such court decisions as this
that breed contempt for courts and
law.
Such decisions legalize counterfeit
ing, robbery, selling goods under false
pretense, cheating, obtaining money
under false pretense.
Such a decision protects thieves
from prosecution. .
Any reasoning man knows that
buyer should have the right to know
what he buys, has a right to know
what is in that pair of shoes that
looks like leather and that suit of
clothes that looks like wool, and a
law that prohibits is a three shell
protection law.
"ARGUMENT"
That's right; abolish the state
senate, do away with the state
legislature, wipe out all govern
ing bodies and make the govern
or the whole thing then elect
U'Ren chief executive, and give
him free rein to institute all his
wild ideas from single tax to a
new constitution. What about
the people and their wellfare?
T'll with the people. Dallas
Observer.
Isn't that some argument? Doesn'i
that appeal to you ? Doesn't that blow
away all your grievances and show
you your mistakes?
This hemorrhage comes from
newspaper whose editor has a job at
Salem during the session and his
job looks bigger than the people.
He doesn't defend the last parody
on legislation he just rants.
And some time when he comes to
and gets calm we would like to ask
him how about the people now if it
isn't pretty nearly a plain case of
"T'll with them."
The voters of Oregon are begining
to realize that any change that will
pry the present form of government
trom the state can't be worse, and
have an idea that the Observer will
have to come out with a line of de
fense stronger than the above or at
the next election the state will lose its
present horse trading convention-
and the Observer editor his job.
TREMBLING
The McMinnville Register, com
menting on the way the Eugene
bunch has tried to put things over on
the people, through the legislature, on
the university appropriations, says
that last December the regents of the
university voluntarily proposed a cut
of their budget from the former
amount of f5():i,000 to $205,000, which
latter amount they estimated would
cover their necessities for the coming
two years, and the Kogister asks why
this proposal was not accepted? And
it concludes the editorial with these
observations!
The fact is, the truest friends
of the university are trembling
for its future because good faith
has not been kept in these latter
proceedings. They hud hoped that
the school was getting on a new
and saner busis of appropriation
and at the suggestion of the re
gents themselves.
As it now stands the people
will do to thu appropriations next
fall what they did last fall, and
they will continue to do so until
the legislature gets down to busi
ness and listens to the people
rather than to Eugene boosters
and promoters.
How in the world would Oregon
ever get along without Oregon
City and Clackamas County?
Salem Messenger,
Just couldn't. .Some old county has
to start things, and Clackamas, being
in the habit, ia ever willing and ready.
We have had high protection on
wool and high prices .n clothing these
many years, and yet the sheep indus
try is dwindling. The protection fails
to sustain it, and wo can't got a home
supply even when the millions are
taxed to benefit tho few. Then why
not have free raw wool?
THE DEATH TRUST
They say that some of Dr. Fried
man's patients have died.
Isn't it awful ?
He should be chased out of the
country because his serum would not
give the patient a new pair of lungs,
What business has he shooting
mudturtle juice into a man who is dy

No serum will ever eive a consume

If Dr. Friedman's serum will cure
one-half, one-quarter or one-eighth

a godsend to humanity.
The people who flock to Dr. Fried

A correspondent to a Portland Dan-
er recently, in discussing the merits
and demerits of the Mothers' Pension
Act, holds that the benefits of the
law should be enjoyed by fathers left
witn motnerless children as well as
mothers left with fatherless childrpn.
The point is well taken and the argu
ment in support of the contention ap
pears reasonable. And, going farther,
we see no good reason why a divorced
mother left with children to care for
is not as much entitled to recognition
by the state as the mother whose hus
band is dead or is in the asylum or
penitentiary. As we understand the
intent of the law, it was enacted in
the interest of children more than the
parent; and for this reason we be-
leve thut the children of a divmvpH
mother are equally entitled to the
benefits of the pension day. Dallas
Itemizer.
A bill was before the Colnnnln 1 no.
islature to segregate the fallen women.
A woman member of the house
arose and moved an nmendment that
laiion men be included, and then on
the roll call she said:
Let he among you who is without
sin cast the first vote for it."
And not one single vote was cast
for the bill or against the amendment.
And yet "the darned
women haVe no business in politics."
Brussels has n national strike on
to force the government to heed the
demands of tho people. It will doubt-

just the same and some of these days
you will see the people greater than
the government, and win out.
In my judgement no more non
sensical a scheme to spend public
money was ever devised by a state
legislature than the appropriation to
pay the expense of a summer vacation
and junketing tour through Europe
to proDe credits.
Harvey Starkweather of this coun
ty and Dr. McPherson of Eueene,
started on the tour Monday. They will
join otheer delegates from other
states in New .York in the private
tour at puoiic expense.
The purpose is to look into the ad
visabihty of the state loaning the
farmers money direct, at a low rate
of interest, and on an easy repayment
pian.
And for heaven's sake will some
one explain why these pets of fortune
have got to go to Denmark to find
out if Oregon can loan a Clackamas
county tarmer some money on a real
estate mortgage?
Will you explain why Harvey
Starkweather has got to go over and
talk to a Frenchman about a matter
that is none of his business, but
matter of Oregon to determine ?
And why it is necessary to have
the Germans tell us about a credit
system they have, when the same in
formation could be had from Wash

Going to far-off Belgium to find out
u loaning money at a low rate of in

tabling of a resolution against the
referendum on the appropriations for

In Portland this week the district

When the Government Locks are
Built, What Good Will they do Us?
Chirrup!
Once more they tell us that the
two year title search, on a piece of
property that the biggest corporation
the northwest considered clear
enough, has about ended and that un-
ess the government otticials can
find some new obstacle, the present
private-owned canal locks will pass
into government ownership and the
big work of a big free ship canal will
started, at low water mark this
summer.
They say this canal, and the deep
ening of the river will work in at just
about the nick of time with the Pana
ma job, and that this old Willamette
will be a busy highway on and after
September 1, 1914.
And we wonder where Oregon City
will come in if it will be just a flag
station.
It would seem as if a city of our
importance should have a public dock.
We can hardly afford to give away
the dock sites the city owns to get it,
but certain it is we will be at the tail
end of tho business parade if we do
not get a landing where boats will
put in. , ,
We should get it into our heads
that tho Panama canal and our locks
canal are going to make business in
this river, and what a sight it will be
to see the loaded boats go by to other
cities up the river cities that make
the most of what they have.
In some respects Oregon City is
a whale, and in other a smelt.
Live Wires Congratulate
The Live Wires gave Franklin T.
Griffith a hearty welcome at its
luncheon Tuesday. There were about
sixty men present and they certainly
handed him out some nice bouquets.
Mr. Griffith was formerly a resi
dent of this city and the boys here
have a warm spot for him and are
gratified at his rapid rise to the pres
idency of the largest public service
corporation in the Northwest.
Mr. Griffith made a short talk to
the club and he was heartily ap
plauded. He explained the position of
the company and the public, and stat
ed that the closer they were to each
other, the better the understanding,
the better the relations. He said that
the copmuny would give any man a
hearing on any complaint and that
the company would give Oregon City
the best service possible to give.
