CerEamly it has been used as such an instrument in late years, with the persistent threat that it will be devoted even more m the fu ture to a tool for leveling. It has seemed to us that that was an incorrect method for accomplishing the end desired. or r nmpR f rom exDloitation either of employes or of consumers. The leverage should be used therefore to correct the mal-distribution at its point of origin. rather than to make the government a panner wim we y iteer by means of taxation. ' . t 4 . ti.. .v.mw nf onmmno n.f the United States, tnrougn iilC vuauwu vr. ....- - . ... . . its committee on federal taxation, voices a similar opinion in its statement to the house ways and means committee, m which it says:" . ,. "The object of taxation is to produce revenue. The penaliz ing of particular methods of doing business or the accomplish ment of social reforms are not within it$ legitimate sphere, nor should it be influenced by prejudice or a spirit of punishment. "AnWiSWintimi from these fundamental principles is not " only an ibuse of a sovereign right that, t arries with It the power to destroy, but also operates to defeat the proper purpose of tax legislation, namely, the production ot revenues. "The correction of economic abuses or social defects should . k- ttimiich a revpnne measure." The purpose of taxation is to provide funds for meeting the expenses of government. To providt; excess funds means to put the capital in unproductive hands because government bureaus; are notoriously inept and inefficient, and unproductive. Chemeketa Players WITH all the wealth of entertainment which the talking pictures supply, there is still a craving for what is called the "legitimate drama". It has been a lone time since a first .class stage performance has come to Salem; yet the hi Finore theatre was designed primarily to care for road shows, and it was built less than a decade ao. High costs and re duced incomes have just put the road shows out of business. So it comes about that community players spring up to satisfy the desire to see plays "in the flesh", and to satisfy also the ambition of many people for self-expression through acting. Salem's little theatre group was launched last year as the "Chemeketa Players" and presented many clever plays during the season. Reorganized, the players are continuing this season; and just now are presenting "The Rock a re ligious drama appropriate to the season, at the elson audi- io-hr for the rest of the week. The players are not in it none; but they do find-compensation m erperience anu nam ing and in the thrill of acting in the glare of the footlights. "Many of the players have shown superior talent. The plan this year is to use different persons as directors, which gives a different flavor to each performance. The activity is commendable, not only for the interest and entertainment of the audience, and for the profit of the players, but to keep alive the dramatic tradition, and to en courage the art of the speaking stage. L. P. Aldrich DEATH has removed in the prime ol his powers a very useful member of this community, L. P. Aldrich, for many years cashier of Ladd and Bush, bankers. His position was an important and responsible one; and he discharged it with noteworthy success. His counsel was sought by hundreds End many will rise to pay tribute to conservative judg ment. He was the type of banker who regarded his position "as that of stewardship, a guardian of the funds of depositors and an advisor of those who sought credit for their business operations. A native Oregonian he exemplified the virtues of the - Oregon stock from which he sprang. Distinctly conservative : a foe to speculation, yet loyal to worthy enterprise he was a potent force in the Ladd and Bush bank and in the commun ' ity. If there had been more of his type in the banks of the ibig city the scandals and the catastrophes which have lately been revealed would never have occurred. . . His passing is untimely, for his service was still needed during the dubious days which attend.

HENDRICKS Journal ot Rogue River War, of 1855: m 9m The current (December) num ber ot the Oregon Historical Quarterly prints tha journal that was kpt by Harvey Robbins dur ing his service in the 1855 Rogue River Indian war. He was a vol unteer from Linn county who had come in the great covered wagon immigration of 1852 and settled on a donation claim near Harris burg. He served also in the Yak ima war in 1856, in Capt. Jona than Keney's company C, volun teers. He must have enlisted late, for tha upper country scrap, after service in the Rogue River war of 1855, for his number on the muster roll appears as 71. "a . In its introductory paragraphs introducing Robbins' Journal, the Quarterly says: "The Rogue Riv er war of 1855 was the most san guinary in the history of Oregon. During the summer there were numerous acts of mutual hostility. Attacks and counter attacks, re prisals and counter reprisals fol lowed each other until the mur derous outbreak of October 9. Small bands of Indians, acting simultaneously in different parts of the settlements, killed 16 per sons. The alarm in the Rogue riv er and Umpqua valleys spread to the Willamette valley and throughout the territory. The only military protection in the vicin ity consisted of tha troops at Fort Lane, numbering 90 drag oons. Formation of volunteer companies began immediately, and on October 15 Governor Cur ry issued a proclamation calling for five companies of mounted volunteers to constitute a north ern battalion and (four companies to form a southern battalion.

The temper of the campaign is shown by Major Martin's instructions that 'in chastising the enemy you will use your own discretion provided you take no prisoners. " a "a "a It is not intended in this col umn to copy the whole . of the Robbins journal, but to use or re fer to some of its most important points. It is well for the reader to re call that, from the very begin ning of the settlement ot the Ore gon country, indeed in the hunt ing and trapping days prior there to, the Rogue river Indians were a murderous and troublesome lot. and allied with their relatives on the south, the Shasta tribe, and with the Modocs over the Cas cades and the- tribesmen along the co 1st, in what are now Curry. Coos and Douglas counties all of them shifty, bloodthirsty and thieving. The name Rogue given to that single tribe applied- well to all Indians of the early days in that region. a "a "a The Hudson's Bay company's California brigades, before settle ment, were obliged to carry strong companies, well armed. The missionaries and others bringing cattle from California encountered the thieving and scalping hands. "W "a Geneial Joseph Lane, Oregon's first territorial governor, while nearing the end of his term in 1850, after having succeeded in rounding up the chief Cayuse In dian murderers concerned in the Whitman massacre of 1847, went to southern Oregon to attend to the case ot the treacherous Ro gue River tribes who had been killing and robbing people travel- During the acuta stage, benefit la derived from cold applicaUona.

(Date of execution June 3, 1850.) It should be remarked that General Lane, besides being gov ernor, was superintendent of In dian affairs for the territorv Through his well known bravery and suavity. General Lane in duced the Rogue tribesmen to come to a council proposing to make a treaty. They had two days before met the governor for the same nnr- pose, but intending bloody treach ery, in snort, a massacre. But Lane had with him a ?uard of 15 white men and an equal number of Klickitat Indians, un der their chief, Quatley. The Rogue River chief raised the bljod curdling war cry. after an impassioned harangue. But, at a prearranged signal from Lane. Quatley seized the Rogue chief, held a knife to his throat, and, with his (Quatley's) strong men. held him fast and Lane, revolv er in hand, ordered the Rogue braves to lay down their arms. The Rogue chief, finding in stant death facing him on a fur ther hostile move from his men, repeated Lane's order to them, which they obeyed. Lane then, after a parley, ordered them all to return in two days for a sec ond council, in the mean time holding their chief captive as a hostage. w ' They came, and by that time were ready to consider the treaty. General Lane had been kind in his treatment of the chief, and gallant toward his squaw, allow ing her to be with her lord and mastec The chief, learnine from the interpreter' that the general's name was Jo Lana, and. saying. "I have seen no man like von." asked him (Lane) to give him his name. The general gave him part or his name and he was ever after Chief Jo. Though it must be said that he bore it with small credit. - 7 After the slenin? of thm t finding Lsjie was going on to the California mines, as a token of his esteem. Chief Jo gave him a Modoc Indian boy for a slave. S S In some respects, the Rogues observed the terms ot the 1850 treaty. But their savase and thieving natures were not changed and in 1851 the road to CaUfornia through' their sec tion grew Increasingly unsafe. In May, 1851, they murdered a man named Dilley with his own gun. Dr. James McBride (father of governor. U. S. senator, congress man, etc, and grandfather of Dr. W. B.

Now, with Clark, at. her side, his absence seemed less Important. She Xlsnced at Marthe, Marthe glanced reflecti vehr at her. "Have you been having a good time! " asked Clark at her elbow ?Miss March has been giving me a very good time," said Patricia clearly. "I've - loved every minute of it" Her eyes and Marine's eyes held. The rauntlet had been flung. It was to be war to. the knife. Julian arrived with dessert and coffee. He did not bother to change, Still in his dusty clothes from the city, he came to the table while his bags went upstairs. Patricia re garded him anxiously. No plate had been laid for him. That made no difference toJnlian. After greeting them all, after pausing for a spe cial word with Mrs. Tracy he was a favorite of hers he admitted. unashamed and unapologetieally. that he had not dined. MI should have dined In town. Somehow, I didn't get around to it I know I'm scandalously late but even if I'm late I'm hungry." "Will you stsrt with soup?" asked Mrs. Tracy, smiling, arrang ing that s plate be brought for him. -Is it cold?" -It's cold." "Then, IH start with soup," he announced, dropping to his chair and adding, "Gosh, I'm hot" After a survey of the table where con versa tion had necessarily been halted by his arrival, be said, "Women have all the best of it in weather like this. You girls look cool enough." - "Would yon like to take off your coat? inquired Marthe sweetly. "I might do that" he said thoughtfully. A flash of apprecia tion lighted the table. Julian Hav erholt kept oft his coat But had he really desired to dine in his shirt sleeves, everyone knew that he would have done so. Patricia, puz zled, saw tha they liked him for that She envied him his courage and his conceit Julian believed that under any circumstances he would be a welcome addition to any party. The girl saw that he was welcome. He became instantly the center of the group, as he was the center of every group to which he lent his presence. Everyone seemed willing to have it so. .Everyone perhaps, except Clark. Clark finished his coffee, shoved back his chair, said rather brusquely, "It's cooler on the veran dah, I think. We might adjourn there." . - His mother sent him a reproach ful glance. "Mr. Haverholt isn't ready, son.' "Don't bother about me," said Haverholt, generously. "Ill be all right That is, if you, Mrs. Tracy will stay to keep me company." She would. The others drifted away and left those two talking and laughing at the long, empty, candle lighted table. Someone turned on the radio. Others rolled back the fugs. In stantly, the group on the verandah was dancing. Patricia was in Clark Tracy's arms. Bending his hand some, fair head he said in a low deliberate voice: "I have been waiting for this' all day." Patricia glanced up. The light McBride had gone with the great gold rush of 1848 from Oregon to the California mines. a "a After thvi fight with the Mc Bride party, the Rogue River In dians entrenched themselves on Table Rock, their famous and an cient rortress, and a battle took place there" June 17, 1851, with U.

Her slippered feet moved in unison with his feet her heart was pressed close to his heart, her hair was brushing his cheek. The sweet smooth musk seemed to have spun a world of magic, a world where they were quite alone. "I knew yon would dance like this," he said. "How did you know?" asked Pa tricia. There were a thousand ways in which to stop him, a thousand rea sons why she should. Instead she smiled deliberately into his fasci nated eyes. Deliberately she bor rowed a page from Jnlian Haver bolt's book. Tonight she would do as she pleased. Tonight was hers. Her eyes welled with mysterious lights, shining and brilliint in her small flushed face. Clark touched his cheek to her blazing hair. "You are lovely," he whispered. "Am I?" she murmured) "The most beautiful woman I have ever seen . . ." They finished the dance in silence. They stood for a moment and then Patricia dropped her arms. "The music is over," she said and laughed. She was intoxicated with her own triumph. It was as if Clark's eyes had made her eonscious of her beauty and her power. She was a thousand miles removed from the wretched girl of the afternoon. The others did not matter now.. This moment mattered. Whatever hap pened, for this moment all of Clark's thoughts were for her. The others, let them watch, Jet them speculate, let them make such in ferences as they chose, Patricia did not care. "More music," called Clark to the group which had gathered at the radio. "Patricia and I want to danee." There was more music. They danced again.

"Yes," said PhiL , "Let Patricia decide," they both said simultaneously. "I think, hesitated Patricia, "I think I had better dance with Phil." Clark simdered reluctantly. Patricia saw his reluctance, thrilled to it. Phihsaw 'too. As he whirled off with the 'girl, be muttered some thing beneath his breath. "I didn't heaf you, Phil," said Patricia sweetly.

"About what?" she queried. Her red ' hps " curved. Her eyes were wide-' and innocent. Phil had been a willing victim to her spell from the moment he first had glimpsed her. Nothing could make him criticize this bewitching girl. "About what Phil?" "If yon don't know, Patricia. I wont tell you," he replied stub bornly. Still he could not resist adding, "It's all Clark's fault any. how." "What is Clark's fault?" How she loved to say that name. How she loved to discuss this situ ation. Phil did not like it.
