Every White Article Reduced-Sensational Merchandise Values IB "June White Days S ine LvA LAID CAMPAIGN' IN 1907 Espousal of Statement Xo. 1 Taken as Evidence That He Will Seek Democratic Votes in Sup port 'of Ambition. Is Senator T. B. Kay, of Marion, flirting with the Democrats for sup port in his candidacy for President of the Senate? That is the question being asked in political circles, where it is recalled that ex-State Senator E. W. Haines, of Washington, found a simi lar course profitable business at the session of 1907. The attitude of Sen ator Ka.y on the Senatorial situation and t.ie open breach between him and his colleague. Senator J. N. Smith, of Marion, are accepted as evidence that Democratic votes would be welcome in his efforts to become the presiding officer of the Upper House. At the 1907 session, Senator Kay is known to have played Ms cards well in the Interest of his candidacy for the Presidency of the Senate next Winter. He did not make a move that was not calculated to strengthen himself for the contest two years later. To what ex tent his efforts In that direction will avail him in the pending contest re mains to be seen. Already Senator Smith, of Marion, has renounced any pledge he may have made to support Kay for presiding officer of the Sen ate, as Kay alleges his colleague did two years ago in return for chairman ship of tne Senate committee on ways and means, which Kay declares he se cured for Smith. Why Smith Deserted Kay. Smith's repudiation of Kay followed the published declaration of the latter that he would vote for Governor Chamberlain for Senator. This step, it is asserted by those who have been watcning the contest for President of the Senate, has been taken by Kay sole ly to bolster up his candidacy. It is averred by them that Kay had, Insisted all along that a string was tied to the pledge regarding the election of United States Senators on which he was elect ed to the Senate two years ago. For that reason those opposed to Kay Insist that he was prompted by a selfish mo tive in coming out unqualifiedly for the election of Chamberlain as the popular choice. That motive, they declare, is the capture of Democratic support for President. Of the 14 hold-over Senators, in addi tion to Senator Kay, five are Anti Statement Ropubllicans, four are State ment Republicans, and the other five are Democrats. Of the five hold-over Anti-Statement Republicans, S. C. Beach, of Multnomah, is understood to be a candidate for President, while Jay Bowerman, Senator-elect from Gilliam-Sherman-Wheeler, is also aspiring for the honor. Of the hold-over Statement Republicans I. -H. Bingham, of Lane; A. J. Johnson, of Benton: A. A. Bailey, of Multnomah, and W. T. Scholfield, of Clatsop Senator Bailey is scanning the field and is quietly working for support of himself for election as pre siding otricer. Ssnator Scholfield, while elected as a Statement man, has refused to declare himself since the June election, and in the organization of the Senate, may Join with the Anti Statement members. The entrance of Senator Bailey into the contest for the Presidency and the probable Indorse ment of Senator-elect Ben 'Selling for the same office by the Statement mem bers of the Multnomah delegation, would still further divide the strength of the rival candidates. Who the Holdover Democrats Are. It is this condition that forms the basis of the charge that Kay has been dickering with the Democrats. The minority party will have seven mem bers in the Senate next Winter and they will prove an important element in the organization of the Senate. Of the seven, five are holdovers, as fol lows: M. A. Miller, Of Linn: L. L. Mulit, of Jackson: F. H. Caldwell, of Yam hill: J. E. Hedges, of Clackamas, and C. J. Smith, of Umatilla. The other two Democratic members are Senators elect II. D. Norton, of Josephine, and Turner Oliver, or Union-Wallowa. In their desire to insure the election of Chamberlain lor Senator, it is said the Democrats will be willing to lend their assistance to an organization of the Senate that would best promote that end. By supporting Kay for Senator It is argued that practically an un pledged vote will be secured for Cham berlain, while the deal might be so worked as to gain, for the Democrats important committee places as per the Haines agreement two years ago. At any rate, the alleged alliance be tween Kay and the members of the minority party is by no means unrea sonable, in the light of conditions as they actually exist. If such a deal is incubating, Kay undoubtedly Is the man that is making it and subsequent events may fully corroborate this supposition. JILL MUST PAY LICENSE AUDITOR PURPOSES TO EX FORCE COLLECTION.

The Auditor's part in all of the business is always performed with a' promptness that Is frequently commended. Owing to the- fact that the city busi ness has grown so rapidly as almost to swamp .the office of the Auditor, Mr. Barbur has decided that he must de-. mand more promptness from those who are In arrears, and therefore he wilt soon Issue the order to compel every person owing money to the city to make payment when the amount In due. "It has been the practice to allow a pood deal of leeway on payments of licenses and occupation taxes." said Mr. Barbur, "but I cannot permit this In future. The volume of business has grrown to such an extent that it Is necessary to take steps to force everyone to pay the city's claims promptly. I will therefore Issue an order authorizing: the license collect ors to go before the City Attorney and lay complaints against every person in Portland who Is owing sums of money for occupation taxes or licenses. Here tofore we have been sending notices, and in some Instances have, even gone so far as to make personal calls upon some, but this will not again be done while I hold office. No notice will be given in future to any one, and if taxes are not paid when due, arrests will certainly follow" This order wili affect thousands of persons throughout the city, and is one of the mosf sweeping yet to be Issued. It is strictly within the- law, as no where is It made the duty of any city official to notify persons when licenses or occupation taxes are due. CONVICT PAYS PENALTY G. J.

MILLS ADVOCATES OREGON CLEARING-HOUSE. "With Such an Institution, He Says, Asset Currency Could Be 1s . sued -"When Xeeded. That the National Danks in Oregon should get together without delay and or ganize a National Clearing-house Associa tion In accordance with the provisions of the Aldrich law,- Is the suggestion of A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank. He believes that the latitude allowed - National banks to form such an organization and take advantage of the opportunity to issue emergency currency whenever necessary should not be over looked for he believes it Is best to be prepared for any contingency. "Now that the privilege is given Na tional banks to issue emergency cur rency whenever such action Is Reded," said Mr. Mills, "I have no reason to think that the need will ever arise, but as a matter of precaution, I think steps should be taken at once to safeguard the institutions of the state and their deposi tors. Prevention is better than cure any time. "Had we had such an organization when the financial stringency struck us last Fall. It would have been a great help and emergency currency could have been issued much more conveniently than by the plan that was followed. In case such a condition should ever arise again, it would take time to get the National banks of the state together and organize a National Clearing-house Association. Time and money would be saved by having such an organization alrefldy formed. In a matter of this kind, it is best to b prepared for any emergency. "National banks of this city cannot well form such an association for the Aldrich law requires that only such In stitutions having a paid up capital stork amounting to $5,000,000 can combine them selves into a National Clearing-house Association." You can go to either of Smith's markets and pick out beef to cook in almost any style for only 5c per pound.
