S. supreme court, wherein the constitutionality of the Initiation ami Referendum fea­ tures of the Oregon state consti­ tution are being attacked. The suit is the outcome of an initiat­ ive law passed three years ago proposing to tax certain corpor­ ations, as telephone, telegraph, and express companies, on their gross earnings. It is evident to everyone that such corporations do not pay their proportion of the taxation relative to the per­ sonal and real property in evi­ dence. and the incomes received. An express company could easily do a million dollar business an­ nually on a few thousand invest­ ment. If they are taxed only on the real or personal property in sight they would fall far below paying their just portion of tax­ ation relative to the incomes as compared with any business re­ quiring a fixed location, buildings and extensive outlays for plants. It was to meet this weakness in the law that the initiative bills were passed. Now comes the Pacific States Telephone Co. with the contention that the measures are discriminatory and unconsti­ tutional. The state is ably rep­ resented by attorneys from home and several from eastern cities. "OFFICAL BUSINESS.” VMThile President Taft is travel- ▼ ▼ ing over the country making political speeches, his press bureau in Washington is working overtime sending out copies of these speeches to the newspapers under the Presi­ dent’s official frank. On the up­ per left hand corner of the en­ velopes in which these speeches are mailed is this inscription: "White House Official Business Penalty for private use. S300.’’ Not only has Postmaster Gen­ eral Hitchcock let down the pos­ tal bars in this particular, but the White House virtually has been turned into a political head­ quarters. Clerks are busy send­ ing out advance copies of speech­ es delivered and yet to be de­ livered by the President, while others see to it that the various press bureaus are supplied with all sorts of literature de­ signed to help the President in his campaign for renomination. oiir F. Klineman Attorney-at Law rpHlS is an old one but it will John M Harlan, oldest member of A bear repeating: "When the United States Supreme Court, who Mark Twain was editor of a Mis­ died after a short illness from acute souri paper, a subscriber wrote bronchitis to him saying that he hail found a spider in his paper, and asking DIRECT PRIMARY FAVORED him whether that was a sign of La Follette Is Choice of Insurgents at good luck or bad. Mark Twain Chicago Conference answered: Finding a spider in Chicago.- T»o hundred "I’rosre» your paper was neither good luck she' Republican» in their flt> na or bail luck for you. The spider Initial conference indorsed the c.inui was merely looking over our pa­ d.uot Senator H M La Follette ot per to see which merchant is not Wisconsin, or President, and de. iareu a direct primary m a means for advertising, so that he can go to tor tli* expression of a Preaident ii that store, spin his web across choice The indorsement came in tue the door and live a life of undis­ shape of resolutions framed in part by e i Secretary of the tn' : or Gar turbed peace ever afterward.” Dear Miss Lillian Russell says "the nose is an ornament.” It is a sly way Miss Russell has of flattering J. Pierpont Morgan. No one can question that Uncle Joe Cannon possesses in a high degree the vocabulary equipment for a beginner in golf. The balloting on reciprocity looked like an early Canadian snowstorm. FROM OLK NEIGHBORS h C. F Kennedv <1x24 13 Ave.. St!. Kenncdv * Klincmaii SPIDER WATC HES.
