Bark In the east they etlll enter-
tain peculiar notions about the west.
That section of the United States ljr
ins west of the Mississippi river is ap
parently regarded In some quarters as
a howling wilderness, where the merry-
rattle ot the six-shooter emphasizes
conversation. To show thut western

quote the following from the New
Tork Tribune: "The western editors

progress of the "spiketall'toat from the
Atlantic seaboard across the plains.
It la related with pride by the Hays
City Republican that at a banquet giv

night recently, no less than six gentle- j
men appeared In the regular evening!

in Hays City at which the spiKetau
made Its appearance. For number
of years there have been men In Hays
City who were oossessed of the gar
menu, but they were cloistered sacred'
ly from the local eye, and kept only
for" use whn their owners were east
wardly abroad. But now the Ice Is
broken, and no future fuctlon In Hays
City will be without the swallowtail.
As the editor vaunts It: "A final break
away has been had from the rude per
iod when the ballroom attire of men
was composed of boots, spurs, som
brers and six-shooters, and when the
height of elegent manners was to Invite
your girl after every dance to the bar
to" take a drink.' And Hays City Is
not alone among the western towns in
coming to the ways of the east. The
'same-phenomenon is noted for its town
by the Anthony Republican, as fol
lows: The spiketall coats in this town
already number eight, although some
of the owners lack the courage to wear
them at home.' '
The Salem Journal Is after the Port
land hog. It does not take kindly to
the references of the metropolitan pa
pers since Governor Chamberlain ve
toed the deficiency appropriation bill
and promises to even matters with Port
land In the future. Says the Journal:
"After their success the Portland knock
ers might" better keep still instead of
their newspapers rubbing it into Salem
about the defeat of the executive man
sion. The defeat of the deficiency ap
propriation bill did hurt Salem, in kil
ling the Items for the executive man
sion and the state fair buildings. The
fair mnnsojers will run a deficiency on
the state, and all the rest of the Items
iu that bill will have to be paid. So
that Portland has but a small local vic
tory to gloat over. Salem and Marlon

A number of multt-millionalres In

and others simply rolling In wealth
say that they will "swear off" every
dollar of personal property assessment
unless the assesor assess them at some
insignificant amount at their own sug

this state of affairs is that the per
sonal property tax is altogether Inequ-

distributed fairly it ought to be alto

tax reaches the class of people who
dodge with entire success the American
