Hntered at Pendleton pnMofflee as second
class matter.
It Is told of Voltaire thnt when
an old man n (rlontl brounht to
him his Hon for a Messing, ol
talre put his hands on the lud'n
head and said: "My sun. God
and Liberty, remember those
words."
Are they not indeed the treat
est words In the vocabulary of
man? God and Liberty. The
dark hours In the history of the
race have been the times when
these words were forgotten.
Those words mean nothing
npart from each other. They
are hut different sides of the one
mighty thought. Herbert S. Hlg-elow.
THE DANGEROUS SURPLUS.
The national treasury shows n big
HtirpluB for tho year ended June 30,
nnd we nre expected to rejoice ami
be glad. It Is pointed to ns a triumph
of statesmanship. Thoro nro people
who suppose wo nre all tho richer for
this surplus.
Hut there Is another side to the
matter. This Btirplus is nothing moro
nor less than hard-earned money be
longing to the people, tnlten from
thorn by unnecessary tnxntlon nnd
locked up thoro In the treasury for
no purpose.
A nation can never make Itself
richer by taxation. Many n nation
has made Itself poorer by It. And any
nation makes itself poorer when it
uunoeessnrily takes money out oi tho
hands of the people who have earned
It mill own It and piles It up In use
less heaps for fools to gape nt and ex
claim: "Just see how rich wo nre."
As well might a merchnut tnku part
of bis money out of his business and
put It on exhibition in his show win
dow as proof of his solvency. Instead
of proving ills solvency It would raise
i doubt of his sanity.
f No sounder political principle was
' ever enunciated than this: Unnoces-
aary ta.xntlon Is unjust taxation. It
j breeds a great brood of Injustices and
j extrnvngances anil peculations. "You
j might as well," said tho picturesque
, but perspicacious William Allen, "try
to run a powder mill in hell as nu
honest government with n plethoric
treasury." Allen is gone, but the
truth remains.
The surplus revenue collected dur
lug tho year was $5S.O0(l,ou0, some
$10,000,000 more tlmn the estimate.

Ill Washington tho other day the

The coachman was highly indignant.

The thoroughbred stock sales ar
ranged and conducted by the indus
trial department of tho O. K. N. in
Eastern Oregon and Washington,
during the past two years have had
a most invigorating effect upon the
livestock Industry. The introduction
of high grade animals has been stim
ulated by this practice more than
through any other agency and It Is
hoped by stockmen that the sales wnt
become permanent fixtures.

spiteful assertion that tho public

Though tho war in the Philippines
has been officially certified to be over,
the expenses of tho wnr department
for the year were $11S,5'0,000 an in

1901'. and just double the cost In tlio
year before tho Spanish war.
The Increase In the expenditure for
tlio navy was $15,000,000.
And so through exorbitant taxation
of a generous people the money flows
Into the treasury and becnuse it (lows
it Is spent, nnd if a little moro flows
in than can go managed to be spent
we are asked to accept the surplus
as a measure of our national honesty.
As a matter of fact, It Is but a pur
tlal measure of our national extor
tion. The people of this country are to
day riding on the crest of tho wave of
prosperity. The pinch is not felt to
day. Ilut for ull these vast expendi
tures nnd all this wonderful surplus
left In the treasury alter tho bills

with his hands has to contribute out
of his slim earnings.
The pace is being sot in good times
and the cost may not worry us, but
It Is u drain upon our resources just
the same, and we shall feel it sovoroly
when depression comes.
Every dollar of these expondltuies,
every cent of this surplus, come out
of the eurnlngs or tho people who
work witli their hands. They pay it
Indirectly In the Increased cost of
living under a government that col
lects more money than It needs.
That surplus Is nothing to be point

The Oregon hoyn who stole the
thought and language of another with
which to win oratorical prizes, are
not the only enterprising orators in
tho country. .Maurice II, Hlch, of
Ilrown University, at Providence,
Rhode Island, Is accused of stealing
the oration with which ho won a val
uable medal. Traces of a winning
oration delivered at Hamilton Col
lege In 1901, have been discovered
his production. When the committee
gets through with Rich, It should
hunt up tho man from Hamilton and
find out from whom ho stole his ora
tion nnd so on indefinitely hack
through tlio history of college medals.
About one-half of the winning clo
ouenco of modern college orations
has been stolen and some bright stu
dent will have to originate something
new, or oratorical contestants will bo
forced out of business.
Luxuries are not equally distributed
in Oregon. Portland has made it a

sickening slump like that would have
paled tho eheok of flounce all over
the country and excited torrlblo fear
of a stampede.
The financial fabric Is like a thea
ter filled with people, gay, happy,
brave, brilliant, enthusiastic, but
cbnnged, in a twinkling, to pallid ter
ror Ilut this time the terrible shrinkagu
has been looked on by the country
not with tlio up-rolled white eyeballs
of fear that the roof would fall, but
the eyes of the country have been
ditectcd to tho stage viewing with I
deep, but calm interest, the tragedy j
of inllation nnd the battle of the !
money kings.
All the people huve to do Is to look
on and keep out of it, and the losses
will be only the losses of the battlers.
