The Eddy corporation tax Inw has raised one-sixth of the revenues of the state during the past "year As business increases In Oregon, its contribution to the state government will grow apace The fanner legis lators are not causing much of a panic In their rush to repeal this state law. which Is the first attempt of the state to make somebody be-' sides the farmer and merchant pay taxes ! I The public complains that railroad accidents are Increasing In number and horror each year The public ' is responsible for this, if It is true ' In part. The public nags at the com , petlng roads until the danger Hue Is : passed In making fast schedules on which to carry the mercenary public ' on its money-making journeys. The t companies deplore the necessity for fast time, for nobody appreciates the terrible danger of "cannon ball" traius, so well as tho.e who operate railroads. The faster the time being made by the train, the more horrible the results of the wreck, so if the public keeps on gouging the compa nies in the ribs, to make them clip off minutes and hours In the tllght across the continent, the public must meet the perils of that trip without a shudder or a whimper Railroad men do not make schedules If they did, all trains would run only In day light and then at a moderate rate of speed. It is the public clamoring in the offices of the great companies for better connections, faster time and more speed, which makes the danger ous schedules. Let the public take Its medicine. It is tho employe whose life is wantonly jeopardized by the commercial instincts of the age who should kick at fast schedules and increasing horrors. lions of dollars Itockofoller had giv en to the university, and seemed to think those millions of great Impor tance, but when I came to talk to him about serious matters I found him to be really Ignorant quite a bar barian.

With this she can be the mis tress of the Pacific Ocean, gathering to her lap the golden treasures of the Inland Empire, and sending lad en ships to all the waiting markets of the Orient. Without it, she will literally wear an "Oregon boot," and , the Sound cities will outstrip her in the race tor this commercial supre-! macy. The Inland Empire hopes J I'ortland has the eyes to see and the nerve to grasp her waiting opportu nity I ' An Oragonian special from Salem ays an effort will be made to pass, over the governor's head, an amend ment to the Australian ballot law, vetoed by hira at the last session. The amendment in question changes the present Australian ballot law of Oregon by making it possible for a voter to cast a straight party ballot by making a single mark in a sped led place, on the ballot. The object is to do away with the exercise of ordinary intelligence, In casting a ballot This amendment would do away with necessity of the voter reading each name on his ballot and expressing his choice by making a mark opposite the name voted for. It 16 just a plain bid for party votes and removes the last requirement of intelligence and thought from the process of voting. It enables the partisan to make one mark and thereby swallow the entire pill as quickly and successfully as consis tent with partisan politics. As It Is now, voters are required to read the names on their ballots and vote their choice by intelligent selection. It is sincerely hoped that the legislature thrown still more safeguards about the ballot, instead of tearing down Sweet Cider. The dapper waiter lingers What shall I drink tonight?

And there a rosy maiden Sat by and played me games Sat by and played the clinking Of glasses, came and saw Two happy lovers drinking Sweet cider through a straw Song sheltered from the weather At Boreas we laugned. And quenched our thirst together In that cool amber draught; That drink of granddad's making. Pressed in the mill hard by. Set no light head to aching. Turned no bright speech awry Stilled are clinking glassos. I.ong vanished Is your smile.
