By Edmund Clarence Stedman written 30 years ago. on the occasion of the dedication of the Bartholdi statue. ship with regards to economic subjects. The country has! benefitted immensely by hav-i Hag him in office and common! justice as well as good sense calls for keeping him there an-i other term. As matters stand Wilson; probably cannot be defeated by anyone because he is the country's logical choice. The; very fact Oregon republicans voted for Hughes is in itself a compliment to the president. Not having Wilson upon their, ticket republican voters havej done the best thing they could , by supporting the man who ac cording to the line the people j have upon him measures up! most closely to the Wilson' standard. a THE ROAD SUBJECT HUGHES AND WILSON ENERALLY speaking the Ott people showed sound judgment in their voting Friday and nowhere was this illustrated better than in the re publican vote for Hughes. Of the men on the republi can ballot for the presidency Hughes was easily the most preferable. He is a much big ger man than Burton or Cum mins and more fit presidential timber. In many respects Hughes is of the Woodrow Wilson type. He is a scholar and a thinker with considerable political in dependence about him. He is the nearest approach to Wilson the republicans have got and that is high praise for the jus tice. If the country should see fit to place a republican in the white house it would be well for the country to have Hughes as the man. He would be a more fit successor to Wilson than would many others who could be named. However, it is not likely the people will see any occasion for changing presidents. Wil son is making good both with reference to the war situation and in constructive statesman- Itr HE overwhelming defeat y of the road bonds should not be taken as a repu diation by Umatilla county ot the general cause of better roads. It simply means the people were very much oppos ed to the plan presented to them and the various reasons for that feeling need not be en umerated here. There is however, a general opinion that our roads are not satisfactory and that something should be done to improve the situation. It will be well for the county if this feeling can be crystalized into action and there are signs this may be done. Many who were aggres sive in fighting the bonding plan think it is now incumbent upon them to get back of a higher millage tax or in some other way take constructive action looking to better roads. They are right upon the point that action by them will be timely. The road problem is yet unsolved and it is a sub ject deserving earnest study and general cooperation with a view to securing the most sat isfactory results for the money to be expended. The road question is a mooted one and possibly no single line of action will answer all purposes for the entire county. It is need less to say however, the sub ject can be best handled if ap proached from a broad stand point, forgetting all private or community prejudices and any bitterness engendered durinp the recent campaign. The East Oregonian did not champion either side of the bonding proposition but main tained an open forum for the discussion of the subject by the people. The columns, of the paper are still open upon this question as well as upon other subjects of public interest and it is to be hoped that further suggestions as to what should be done will be forthcoming. GREATER INCOMES jm HE best indication of the tremendous industrial prosperity enjoyed by the country in the past year of the Wilson administration is found in the income tax figures now being compiled in the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. These figures indi cate that the income tax col lections will be approximately $26,000,000 in excess of the collections a year ago. The.v indicate that the increases in the taxable incomes of the country, of both individuals and corporations, amounted to irom $1,500,000,000 to $2, 000,000,000, to say nothing of the tremendous volume of in creases in the smaller incomes below the exemption mark and, therefore, not taxable. The income tax collections a year ago totaled approximate ly. $80,000,000. Of this am ount $38,000,000 represented corporation taxes and $42,000,- 000 individual income taxes. The returns for the present year show that the income tax collections will be about $106, 000,000, an increase of approx imately $26,000,000 over last year's total. The returns indi cate that the increase in cor poration taxes amounted to $12,000,000 and that of indi vidual income taxes to $14,000, 000. These tremendous increases in taxable incomes, reflected in the increased income taxes, are attributable directly to the preat business and industrial expansion which took place in the country's past year of pros perity. Of course a very cred itable portion of the increase is attributable to the excellent efficiency methods inaugurat ed by Commissioner of Internal Revenue William H. Osborn, in providing against tax dodging, but the great bulk of the in creased returns is due to the great expansion of the coun try's earnings. Differ as they will on local questions Pendleton and Uma tilla county people stand to gether when they face the out side world and this was shown ir the election of a Pendleton fcirl as queen of the Portland rose festival. It is an honor worth having and the city has! been true to its reputation as a community that does things. The renomination of Ben Olcott is a wholesome indica tion that the people appraise personal merit above faction alism. The governor and the old guard blundered when they tried to kill off Olcott. They went hunting for trouble and found it. Let us hope that Mr. Beal's visit will have a favorable ef fect upon our weather conditi ons: the wintry variety is be coming a bore. PRIMARY RETURNS.

Marrln also suf fered a slight flesh wound in the leg In his opening statement, District Attorney Steiwer declared the state would try to prove that he was shot with Martin's gun, a combination re volver, rifle and shotgun known ns a ''game getter," that Marrln had se cured the gun from a drawer of his dresser following a scuffle between himself and Phillips, had pointed it at Phillips' neck, that Phillips had grabbed it and turned the barrel down as It was discharged. He stated that if Marrln deliberately pulled the trig ger then he was guilty of second de gree murder and that if he discharged the gun accidentally then he was guil ty of manslaughter. W. M. Peterson, defendant's attor ney, declared he would seek to show that the shooting was purely acci dental and that defendant had no malice toward Phillips and no reason for shooting him.

I He was bleeding profusely. She also testified to the disorder in which she found the room, Indicating that there had been quite a scuffle.
