KEMLER & SON A Big Grocery In a Small Room AlUStreet, Opposite gavlBgs Bank DISCUSSES SOME OF MOST IMPORTANT BILLS. Umatilla's Senator In an Interview, States His Reasons for Supporting the Amendment to the School Tax Levy Law Has Been Appointed on the Special Lewis and Clark Com mittee. Senator Smith was last evening ctked by an Enct Orogonlan reporter as to his stand on his colleague's, Senator Pierce's bill providing for an amendment to the present school tax levy law. Ho replied as follows: I stand pat with Senator Pierce, and many of the reasons I might urge for taking this stand are familiar ones to everyone who has ever studied tho present law and understands Its inequalities and Inconsistencies. Mr, Pierce's bill provides for a per capita ttx of about $6 per pupjl, which Is the amount which many years' cxpcil once and observation has found to be the amount needed to carry tho aver age district through all Its expense list for tho average school year. From this basis the per cent of the levy can be readily and accurately adjusted to the needa of tho district. Tho pro- rosed law, if passed, will remove from the assessors the temptation they now have before them all tho time, to make too low assessments at the ex pense of the schools. For example, suppose there are 5000 pupils in a county, and $30,000 are needed to de fray its educational expense bills for a year. If there are $6,000,000 worth of assessable property In the district the per cent of levy must be 5 on a valuation of $10,000,000 the per cent of levy must be 3. In other words, the bill provides for cutting tho cloth according to the measure of the wear er, whereas tho present law cuts the cloth all one size, no matter the di mensions of the wearer. Tho Inflex ible basis scheme has been proven to be a failure and the Pierce bill, In my opinion, provides the best scheme for Its amendment. Inheritance Tax. "By the way, you may say that Rep resentative Blakelee has' introduced an inheritance tax -measure which I strongly approve. Further let me say that if the measure' already Introduced for rais ing revenue from Indirect sources be come laws, from them will come at least one-half of the revenue of the state." "How do you stand, senator, on the proposition to establish a two-mile; range limit for tho grazers of sheep?" "I am opposed to a two-mile limit law, believing It would do great in Jury Irreparable Injury to the wool Industry. I favor a very much nar rower range limit than two miles." "How do you stand on United States senator?" "Well, tho minority will probably all vote for some representative man of their party, but It cuts very little tiguro, of course, who we may or may not favor. We are not' situated so the tcnatorshlp need worry us at all, and we propose to take advantage of the situation to do as good work as possi ble for our constituents." Senate Bill No. 2. "Many people do not understand the Import of the special road tax measure you have Introduced. What Is It designed to accomplish?" "The measure, which Is Senate Bill No. 2, Is -what I regard as a comblna tlon or compilation -of the best feat ures of the special road tax laws of Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. It pro vides for the creation of special road taxes to meet the exigencies of occa sions. For instance, suppose, as Is often the case, a macadamized road Is needtd between two points, say 10 miles apart. The road is needed bad ly Is, In fact, the greatest need In that direction the people along that line have everiad. My measure pro vides that the citizens along that road (or more prpperly within the zone ly ing parallel with the proposed road,) who would be most benefited by the load, can take It upon themselves, though they may live within a half dozen road districts as thoy now ex ist, to issue negotiable warrants to the amount necessary to build immediate ly tho proposed macadam. These war rants to be a Hen upon the property in the special road district thus form ed, and to draw interest and bo .paya ble in 10 years, under such a law rpads could be built Just where they are needed by tho people who are the most interested, anil n provides a means by which they can get togeth er on common grounds about their common interests. It Is a peculiar thing that Representative c. W, Car- nahan, of Clatsop county, had prepar ed a bill of almost exactly the same Import as my bill, neither knowing that the other was contemplating any thing of tho klud. He has Introduced his bill In the house and we both have hopes that ono or tho other, or a combination of the be3t points of both will become law. I will add that the law will be applicable to the construc tion of streets Jn all except cities those prohibited by the terms of their charters," Against Extra Clerks. "How did the Umatilla delegation In the senate stand on the proposition to increase the number of clerks In the state senate?" "Well, as long as you have asked I mc, I will say, though the question Is not jn relation to any measure of pol icy or proposed legaslatlon that Sena tor Plerco and myself both voted against the proposition." "Stato your opinion. If you will. about any miscellaneous subjects In ! connection with the legislature; either! branch." "You may quote mo, If you will, as saying that Joint Representative rhelps, of Hcppncr, Is developing In to one of the strons: men of the house. and is well started in tho direction of doing good, effective work. You may! t6ofiai..tliat Congressman-elect Wil liamson, who Is a holdover senator, Is tne of the very strongest and most just men In the senate. "As a member of the minority, I must say that the minority has been treated nicely In the formation of com mittees, and In other respects, by the. matorltV. Srnntnr PI bcr of the special Tonguo memorial! committee. I have been honored by I ueing appointed to two special com mittee, one the Lewis and Clark expo sition appropriation -committee, and tho other a special committee to In vestigate the lighting and water sup plies of the penitentiary and Insane asylum." MM MY W A CAUCO j NOMINATION WOULD DOWN WILSON The Walla Walla Statesman Has a Fine Organization and Has Some of the Beit Men In the Evergreen State Lined Up Solidly for Him. Olympia, Wash., Jan. 17. Ankeny or a deadlock seems to be the Inevi table result of the present senatorial struggle. The Walla Walla statesman has a sufficient number of votes tu give him u caucus nomination when ever he can get a caucus together, and it is not beyond the range of pos sibilities that he can mass enough strength to elect him without a cau cus. The latter In an uncertainty, however, but there Is no uncertainty about the result should he enter a caucus. The McBrlde-Preston-Wllson alliance Is fully cognizant of this fact, and they are devoting all of their en ergies to prevent any further acces sions to the Ankeny strength and to slave off a caucus. Tho Wilson men have apparently eliminated Preston from the contest and allude, to It as cnother Wilson-Ankeny fight. They admit, however, that conditions are vastly different from those existing in the memorable fight four years ago. Ankeny has a fino organization and has some of the best men In the stato lined up solidly for him. His strength Is so much greater that that of the other candidates .Individually or cor lectlvely, that his followers are cling' Ing to him with perfect confidence In his ultimate success. Tho claims of REMNANTS There ate still quite a number of the Bargain Remnants left. If you want . to get one or two of the good things You'll Have to Hurry There are still a few of the $5.00 to $7.00 Silk Waists for $1.50 And those Plain and Fancy Ladies' Hose ... J 5c And some of that good Wool Underwear for 3Qr Children at And (Dating Flannel, Woolen Dress Goods, Linings, Silk, Ribbon. All of these Remnants are sold with out consideration of cost. Yotf are entitled to a ticket on the buggy when you bay these at The BIG BOSTON STORE the Wilson people that they have forced Preston back Into third place are not admitted by tho friends of tho King county man. If there Its to bo no deadlock, tho lelatiye position of tho two leading candidates opposing Ankeny will cut no figure when tho break-up comes, and It will be difficult to determine at tho last stages whether It Is an Ankeny-Wllson cr an Ankcny-Preston fight. Whatever may be tho termina tion of this conflict It will not bo to the disadvantage of Wilson. Everjr crumb of prestige which falls hla way is a distinct nnd clear gain to which he was not entitled had this alllanco not given him n rating which was never warranted "by tho numerical strongth of his following.

Collier & Co., 'phono Main 1121. t A J---'-".'..v."-J 1 The Children Enjoy Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative Is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which It acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, Is - Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should bo so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of tho combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to Increase their profits.
