The Port A Hilarious Joke, land Oregonian. however, wilfully declines to be honest in its own con tentions. It seeks to deny the Asser tion of this piper that notes and ac counts are for the most part now ex empt from taxation in this state. Why such tomfoolery as that? There is not a businessman In the state but knows better. The taxation of sotea, accounts and money in Ore gon is a farce. It is doubtful if 10 per cent of this property is ever list ed for taxation. Aside from the as sessor of Umatilla county it is im probable there is an assessor in the slate that strives to make a real as sessment of loaned money by check-! lng up mortgages. For the course he has taken here Mr. Strain has been censured for years and the censure baa come chiefly from the fact he has been alone in doing bir duty. It Is notorious that loans have not been taxed in Multnomah county. One Multnomah Assessor even went so far Aa to privately announce fax and near that people could make loans in his county without danger of taxation. FAstern Oregon money has regularly been lured to Portland on that basis. Any claim that there is any real tax ation of this class of wealth in Port land or In Oregon is not only false but Is ridiculous to all who are in formed . One of the chief arguments for the 11500 exemption bill is that wealthy people are already exempt on a great portion of their personal property and that It is but fair the ordinary citizen should have an exemption. The ex emption bill if passed will give the common man a taste of the identical benefit now enjoyed by the wealthy. The only difference is that this $1500 (xemption will be legal whereas the virtual exemption of notes, account and money is ilUgal and based on fraud and perjury, in which the-Ore-gorilan cheerfully connives and seek to cover up with falM-hood and buncombe. The Oregon Ion's appeal to honesty in thla matter is a hilarious Joke.

Atlanta pays a rate ofi $1 per thousand feet forj gas and it" is claimed the rate is 10 j per cent higher than is charged in j other cities of the same class as At-1 lanta. In Pendleton the gas rate is $2 per thousand and $2.50 when used for il luminating purposes. If Atlanta has a chance to complain at its rate how much too much is Pendleton pay ing for gas? It is a subject thst will bear investigating, particularly since the public utility commission now has authority to handle the charges of such corporations. Whether the return of Huerta is demanded or not it may be taken for granted the constitution It Will be alibta when they come in Justified, to power in Mexico are going to profit by the mis take of Madero. Madero was humane and sought to deal with his foes in a spirit of justice And fair play. Even when Felix Dlax was captured After an attempt at a revolt in Vera Crux be was not exe cuted as might have been his fate. He was held In jail for a time and then liberated- The result was an other revolt, then the treachery of Huerta and the downfall of the Ma dero government. Had Madero shown severity Instead of leniency he might be alive today and Mexico might hav been saved two years of bloody strife. Carranza will show judgment if on coming Into power he insists on punishment for those responsible for the misery the Mexican people have endured as a re sult of Huerta's treason. THE PERSONAL HAIUTS OF A W1K.U OI'EHA MNGKH. In the AugUHt American Magazine Mart Garden, the celebrated opera sinxer. writes an autobiographical ar tide of extraordinary interest full of stories of her experiences on the staKe. On the question of the personal life of a great opera singer she says in part: There Is little1 self-denial in my ab rtinence. since my tartes are extreme ly dimple. To those who are fond of a good table and a kIuhk of wine, however. It is a hardship. But they Junt have to give It up. that's all. un lewt they want to tret to be enormously fat and lone all of thlr vitality.

In a short time Mr. Roosevelt will depart with his bride for Curiayboy. Brazil, where Mr. Roosevelt, who is an engi neer has a contract to build a public market. "When I get through my work I am all in. I don't want anybody to talk to me. even. I go home with my maid, get to bed. and sleep eight hours without moving. I don't even remember next morning that I sang the nisht before. But I have such a constitution, that I build right up, and the minute I open my eyes I am wide awake. They say that eight hours is an awful lot of sleep that five or six is enough. But I some times have nine. I almost never eat before goin? to bed. have my din ner about three o'clock in the after noon, a nice cup of tea and some toast at five or half past, and then nothing until the next morning Sometimes if I feel very tired when I come home I take a cup of bouillon or half a dozen oysters, but that is all I am too nervously fatigued to eat. ror suppers, they are the most aw ful things! I can't imagine anybody being able to go out and sit and talk after they get through singing, but they do. Tou have no Idea of the People who ask me out to supper. It gives me indigestion to think of it The singer must be very careful of her diet.

Ammons has written the following poem as his contribution to the lit erature on lioosevelt: TetUly's River of Doubt. He scoffs at the college professor; Declares that his strength's on the wane; Denounces the grape Juice of Bryan; Insists that it's not even sane; He dreams all his friends back in of fice. And all of his enemies out. As he dines on a morsel of monkey. And sails up the River of' Doubt. He revises the Ten Commandcnts. And lirlngs them all quite up to date; Bewails the mistakes of Old Moses, And sighs at poor Lincoln's slow gait; While Washington's blundering tac tics , produce a most terrible pout. As he swallows a wee bit of monkey And sails up the River of Doubt. In dreams he's enraptured the people, And all of creation subdued; To the furthermost side of this plan et There's against him not even a feud; While the world's population will honor. And angels will how round about. As he dines on a diet of monkev And sails up the River of Doubt. If ever the colonc-l awakens Krom delight of his beautiful dream If ever in strenuous fashion His pledges he tries to redeem. Perhaps he'll dincover his error; And. surely, he'll not take the gout. If he stic ks to a diet of monkey And sails up the River of Doubt. ''h'-foo. China, yearly exports 1, 500.00i pounds of silk thread.

He realizes that he is going to have a call for your goods and acts accordingly. All advertising has merit, but the ad vertising that is going to produce direct sales is the advertising that appears in the daily newspapers. From It!
