STEVENS' OPINIONS. A gentleman named Stevens, the in ventor of the roller process for making 'flour, was in the city from Monday noon until midnight. There is no particular significance to this statement, other than a wish to use him as an illustra tion of the circumscribed area in which a man's ideas may ebb and flow and be self-satisfactory. , Mr. Stevens is a wealthy man, having sold his patents, and is now traveling over the country, partly to see the scenery, and partly in search of audiences that will absorb his ideas and not talk back. Mr. Stevens is a gold bug, rabid. He talked to a small crowd at the Umatilla House in the evening, making more rash asser tions in five minutes than the craziest silverite could invent in a century. Mr. Stevens etated that in the East the silver sentiment represented but 5 per cent of the voters, while the gold bugs represented 95 per cent of the vot ing population. He stated that before the present administration was chosen .$12,000,000 had been subscribed for building factories on Fox river, Wiscon- . sin, Mr. Stevens' home, tut that the scheme was abandoned, and now Fox river flows along unvexed by $12,000,000 worth of dams, mills and machinery down to Oshkosb. "Why," said Mr. Stevens, "Fox river has a fall of eighty five feet in thirty-three miles, and is larger than your river here." These are but samples of some , of Mr. Stevens' statements, and after listening to him for a few moments, we no longer doubt ed his first statement that he was an inventor, only he has not retired from business. Mr. Stevens probably repeats what be believes concerning the proportion of silver and gold advocates as be has seen them. He forms bis conclusions from the opinions of those he comes in con tact with, and as that classjs his own, wealthy people, their beliefs would probably be in the proportion'etated The trouble with Mr. Stevens' rating is that he only meets a class representing say one per cent of the voting popula tion. Ninety-five per cent of that one per cent are gold bugs; but of the 99 per cent that Mr. Stevens did not meet the percentage does not run thrt way but rather directly opposite. Free silver is the issue for the next campaign, and we lose our guees if it does not win, as the sports say, "hands down." It will be as the Columbia to , Fox . river, Wisconeon, even though Mr. Stevens' ideas of that creek are some what exalted. LIKE A MUSHROOM. The Colfax people have been wanting an opera bouse for some time, and now they have one. A big pile of brick lum ber and other building material piled at a street corner had awakened comment but no one knew what was to be done wuh it. Last Wednesday evening Beventy-hve men were brought from Spokane, and armed with trowels and hods repaired to the aforesaid corner and by daylight the outside ' walls were up, the scaffolding removed, and the men gone. Thursday morning the place was filled with carpenters, paint ers, decoraters, etc.; and at 10 o'clock a bill poster came along and put up a bill saying that the Colfax Dramatic Com pany would present the drama "Hick'ry Farm at the Colfax Opera House." That was the first intimation the people bad as to what the. building was intend ed for. - : It seems tous that if the United States supreme court ' will carry its de cfeiori on the income tax cases to its legitimate conclusion, it will be found that it is unconstitutional to collect or ' levy any tax at all. From the verv na ture of things any tax levied by any power, state, county or city, ia'a tax upon incomes. A tariff tax on sugar of one cent per pound is a tax on the in come of the consumer of one cent for every pound of sugar used by him or hi family, and if he is a farmer, and his in come in from lands, why is it not a neon stitutional to make the tariff tax appli cable to him? Why is it riot unconsti tutional to levy a tax on whiskey .-r tobacco, since in both cases the incomes of the business are incomes arising from the products of' the lands. If it is true as the supreme court Bays it is, that our constitution prohibits the taxing of those who have incomes, then the more suddenly the constitution is amended It seems probable that the income tax decision will be Bet aside to the extent ot giving the cases a new hearing with a fall bench. Justice J.irkson is rapidly recovering and it is said the motion for a rehearing will be heard and argued, May 6th, at which tirce Justice Jackson will be present. While it is probably true that "Steve" Elkins is not an ideal senator, it is true that he is visiting Oregon in the capacity of a private citizen. The Oregonian's insult was therefore gratuitous, and gross. - Victor Votes. Victor is improving right along. Mr. Gordon has enlarged his store building and fitted up a nice postoffice with a cabinet of seventy-eight boxes This will give each regular patron of the office a box. The unloading and placing of a 1200 pound safe, seems to say that Mr. Gordan is at Victor to stay, and that he means business.' The young grain is growing nicely. Juniper Flat is destined to be the best part of Wasco county. There is no other part of the country which yields more grain to the acre. The Flat is about twelve miles square. It would be difficult to find in this entire body of land, a quarter section having less than 100 acres of the best quality of farm land. X. X. X. "The Criminal Crowding of Public Schools" and "Crowded Schools as Pro moters of Disease" are two subjects of pressing importance that will be -taken up in The Forum tor May. Professor J H. Penniman,. of Philadelphia, by a study of school reports themselves of many of our principal cities, shows what lamentable lack of sufficient and whole some buildings there are how, indeed, much of the educational work in Boston and New York and many other cities is worse than wasted. Dr. H. D. Chapin, of New York, lays down the conditions that should govern the healthful build- ng and arrangement of echoolrooms.
