The Portland Telegram heads
an editorial, "More Senatorial
Scandal," and produces the
thought that the senate should
prove or disprove such allega
tions and purge that distin
guished body.

itself? V
Why don't it? Why, because
if the representations that come
out concerning that body are
true, and the cleansing process
was carried into effect, there

TOO INDEFINITE.
The Telegram says: "Mr.
Wickersham would keep Presi
dent Taft at the helm of state
until he worked oiit the prob
lem of regulating big business."
We are inclined to think such
period is entirely too indefinite;
President Tuft inherited that
job as President Roosevelt's
successor, and the task now
seems as far from completion as
when Roosevelt began it. so that
if Wishersham's idea is carried
into effect we rcifht as wel
make it for ninety-nine years,
or a life tenure.
Roosevelt got his "hat in the
ring" ami then threw himself
in after it, but from the tone
and attitude of the press, Ore
gonians are not tumbling over
themselvss to care for that bea
ver, and it now looks much as
if it might come out of the po

The Emerson Typewriter Com
pany of Woodstock, 111., have
recently given away over 4(H) of
the highest grade, wholly visible
Emerson Typewriters in the
world. They have gone into
every state and territory in the
United States. There may he
some in your town. They are
giving them away everywhere to
men, women, boys and girls,
over 18 years of age, on surpris
ingly liberal conditions.
If you could make use of a
$100.00 typewriter, providing it
did not cost you even one cent,
then ih a letter or on a post card
addressed to Frank L. Wilder,
President, Woodstock, 111., sim
ply say, "Mail me all your Free
Oilers," and by return mail you
will receive their Free Otters,
the names of over 400 who have
recently received typewriters
free, and you will learn on what
easy conditions you can get one

friends while Laol'llette b
devoid of followers.
HERE ARE SOME FIGURES BY
COVERNOR HARMON.
Governor Harmon delivered
an address before the Kentucky
Legislature the other day, and
his theme was taxation. To il
luminate it he used some figures
that will appeal to tli e ordinary
man as decidedly interesting.
Upon even a cursory computa
tion the figures are sufficiently
verified, and this makes them
the more interesting.
In the matter of National ex
pense, the cost of running the
Federal Government, the per
capita is $11 and the family
contribution something like $50
& year. Turning from this item
to that incurred by local taxa
tion, which is variable, it was
the conclusion of the Ohio
Governor that the average an
nual cost to every American
family for taxes was approxima
tely $100.
Everyone understands, of
course, that in the direct pay
ment of that tax the burden is
not distributed on the basis of
average; but in the indirect pay
ment the average is more nearly
established than a great many
people would admit. It is cer
tainly the fact that the Federal
tax is levied in such a way that
it falls on the consumer. While
paid directly at the Custoni
House and the internal revenue
office, it is a shif table burden;
and the party who pays it to the
Customs or the internal revenue
collector never neglects to do
the shifting.
But that is not the worst of it,
The tax paid by' the average

The Emerson Tyjiewriter is
n,'lone of the highest grade, wholly
visible typewriters mr.de in the
world. Many who have used the
"EMERSON" and other makes
pronounce the "EMERSON" su
perior to any $100.00 tyjHnvriter
on the market. It is a wholly
visible machine, has every new,
up-to-date feature, looks like
other high grade $100.00 type
writers, though it sells regularly
for less and on terms of $1.00
down and 10 cents a dav until
paid for. The "EMERSON"
has every new improvement, uni
versal keyboard, back spacer,
tabulator, two-color ribbon, eve
rything the best: is the ideal
machine for beginners as well
as for the most expert typists
and stenographers; just the type
writer for the smallest or largest
office.
If you could possibly make any
use of a high grade typewriter,
even though it didn't cost you
one cent of money, then he sure,
on a postal card or in a letter ad
dressed to "Frank L. Wilder,
President, Woodstock, III.," say,
"Mail me your Free Offers."
