! Many other plans differing from the I plan of the Chief
Executive, in a variety of , particulars, are likely-lo appear
also before the national law-making body. Several other
plans for tax reduction are, in fact, in preparation. But how
ever many the measures proposed, it is inconceivable that the
President's efforts to accomplish tax reduction by lowering
the present rate on incomes and inheritances shall be
defeated.
It is too early to prophesy what if any action will be
precipitated in Congress by the desire of some leaders to
merge , state and national inheritance measures Into v one na
tional law providing for collection' of air incomes and reim
bursing" the states according "to feome-; definite ratio. ; It is
likely that this matter will be forced to await state legislative

SCHOOL DAYS
By DWIG
V!
In the passing of William Jennings Bryan the nation loses the
.greatest tingle moral force exercised In its councils during the present
century. ' HI place in history and Ja the hearts f his. admirers was
' not a matter of chance. . It, was .obtained by the power of appeal for
human ayinpathy, for absolute justice and truth, fortified by his force
- of character gentleness of spirit and purity of his life. . .
; ' America generally gWes credit for greatness only to the Indiridual
who. wins in the race for preferment, political or otherwise. But this
champion of the cause of political, economic and social righteousness
the future will hold in esteem for effort and accomplishment.' No
other American eyer made and left greater Impreseion upon the
citizenship of his time, except Lincoln. - And Ho other man ever
charted : more deflniteiythe; political and moral firmament of the
nation, and no other! political or moral bearings have been so gener-
,yy followed as those by him established.

Iohcr Graham Changes HV Mind
Twice in Two Minutes ' j
I threw up my hand in a warn

she accompanied her call. for Kalie
with a query to me concerning my
hibition Issue and his terrible arraignment of political and -wonomh
wroncs endeared him more than erer to multitudes of his fellow
citizens regardless at political or religious affiliations.
. . , Three times rejected for the presidency, his doctrines have been
ln the malni,' metlmea' wholly, accepted by both political parties in
their nrocresa and' adaptation to governmental desires and needs. He
- made continued errors' in trying to keep years ahead of public
opinion. - " - r' . " ; I . y . ,
- "Vou shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of
' thorns.1 You shall not crucify imanklnd upon a crosa of gold," was
the type 'of oratory which distinguished him from others In 'the
, Chicago coaventlon-of 1896. , But? his sympathy -for those of his
fej low beings who do their part in human toil to make this nation
, great s and. his courageous denial of the right of wealth to -alone
, dictate the policies of the American government made him the nom-
inee of his party and its leader, until Woodrow Wilson became presl

practice of hers when referring to

that she is careful never to use

But 1 1 had heard Katie's quick
footsteps in the hall outside,! and
feared her ' cute bearing . would
catch the offensive phrase. '" ' "

I had the satisfaction, however
of seeing her register distinct em
barrassment when Katie's knock
sounded on the door. It. was an
unusually .militant' rat-tat-tat, at
which I winched,' for I feared that
it signalled an outburst from my
faithful but .temperamental and

TIIE MINES AT SALEM'S FRONT DOOR
Do 'you-' suppose ' she heard
me?'V -My mother-in-law's appre
hensive voice was In ludicrous con
trast, to the -autocratic Inflections
with' which she had called for
Katie. ' :. . ,
. ' Thexurrent weekly bulletin of Henry Clews & Co., the
Wall Street authorities, says in its opening paragraph:
Developments in .the business world continue encouraging. rjyig (jfjQ
One of "the best of them j is found in the steady growth of . -r -
demand for'copper and other non-ferrous metals. Export
figures show that copper is going abroad in larger quantities
than for, a long time a fact which furnishes good foundation
for the" higher prices ''of copper stocks, particularly' with the
metal now around 14c in this market." V
) Other authorities believe that the present upward course
nf thp riHrp' nf Conner will 'be permanent, ; or7 at least 'long
w --- f!--- . " - ' it f .
I I And this makes, one wonder, why the development-of the
mines att Salem's front door is iiot moreapid:
? tn the nast several days, "ore from the full, length of. both
working tunnels of the Lotz-Larsen mine has been taken out
and concentrated, with this result: Copper, $63.80 per-ton;
silver; $4.10: gold J $16. Total $83.90 for the concentrates
. tnVpn from the average ore of the whole mine ? - '
j - And it costs $24 to mine this, ore, concentrate it, haul it
to! the railroad, pay the freight to the Tacoma smelter, .and
pay the smelter-charges. .. . ..... ,
i r That surelv looks like a profit .'.". , ' " ;
! lAndUhe: quantity of that ore is; all but ."unlimited
literallV mountains of it may be taken out, in a district many
: miles! north and south, and running. dear under : the Cascade
ransra. ; - -r ' , -
j I ,;; Any way, there is enough ore in this,mining district, at
the front door of this city, to make Salem the Spokane or the
Butte. City of Oregon. '. .
t There is room here for the operations of many mining
cmrinsers and developers. - . ' -
! Th a concentrates from the hiffh crade ores there will
Fhow much greater values than those realized from the aver
age mine nm given above- . v
f But the big thing is the, Vast extent of the region; with
ores the average of ; which j will ty kid profits for mining;
the profits of course to be higher as mining and transporta
tion expenses are reduced.; ' . .
"I'm afraid
pered back. ' - : - v ,
"Well, go'on out and settle her,
then," Mother Graham, said crisp
ly. She Is never abashed more
than a fraction of a second by any
thing. ' "Katie is your maid, not
mine, and if she chooses to take
offence at a name which describes
her perfectly; . the sooner' she
leaves the better."
, The only consolation I bad eon
cerning this outrageous little
speech was that It was couched In
Jow. tones, Inaudible to the girl on
the other side of the door.. But
my heart was' not within me as
walked toward the door.
It was a situation, only too (a
miliar to me, this in which I had
to soothe Katie's justly-wounded
sensibilities after some , inconsid
erate performance of my mother-
in-law's, and. the insouciance with
which the older woman shifted the

to my shoulders angered me!, ,
"I agree with "you, I said cold

convenient to have her leave Just
now. But -I Imagine we can get
Mrs. Ticer to come. In." t
"Come Back Here!" : " ' "
-. . -- ...... -, - tit
- it . was a . Parthian shaft, for
while Mother Graham Is always in
a state of armed neutrality with
rvaue, sue infinitely prefers her
presence In the witchen to that
of Mrs. Ticer.

peasant training which Mrs. TIcef.

voice as leaving her. my leylittle
