THAT INCOME TAX
Much is being said for and
iaagnst the proposed income tax,
sponsored by Governor Patterson.
' Some interests are sending out prop
aganda decrying such a tax, while
othre3 are voicing their faith in the
'jneasure. The country press iis re
ceiving many, letters asking their
influence by both parties. The
Times hts not learned enough .of the
ins and outs of the measure to take
a stand either way. We will say, J
however, that Governor , Patterson, '
as well as many other astute poli
ticians favor the tax, no doubt hav
ing good reason for bo doing, and
that we believe they know what they
are talking about when they say it
should be passed. At anw rate, if !
it is a measure to increase the j
rtate's revenue and at the same time
not increase the general tax, we are j
for it

We wonder why it is that press
dispatches from the Coos Bay coun
try invariably bear a Marshfield
date line, when the fact is that most
of such are related to North Bend?
The latter city has the unbound
hustle of the west, is growing by
leaps and bounds and in time bids
fair to be the metropolis of that sec
tion of the state. We suggest that
the correspondent use 'a little more
discretion and not play one . town
against the other so strongly. ,
It is rumored that, in case Secre
tary, of State Kozer is given another
state portfolio, Hal Hoss, secretary
to Governor Patterson, will succeed
to Sam's office." Knowing Hal, We
will say that the governor couhi do
no better In making the appointment
for the former Oregon, Cityt news
paper man is a good "hoss" both in
name and ability. .
Because the Portland Oregonian
saw fit to support the proposed in
come tax measure it is called turn
coat by some of the country press,
Those who dub Oregon's leading
newspaper two-faced are reminded
that "a wise man changes his mind,
a fool never."
Uucle Sam will make the size of
his currency smaller. Not on our
account. Our purse is large enough
to hold all the old size bills we can
get hold of, and not cause it to
bulge at fchat.

There is a wood man in The
Dalles who deserves a medal for
honesty. He delivered a ' load of
wood to a firm there last Saturday
and while unloading iti demanded
the, buyer get a man to tramp the
pile down so as to makevaure of
correct measure.
The suggestion of . Dr. Stovall
that "Clear Lake be closed this sea
son is apt. Fishermen who have no
aregrd for the Jaw regarding the
size of trout are -many, and with
hordes taking them from, the Jake
but few will be left to grow to !
mature size, and thus strip the lake
of trout thatotherwise would make
good fishing.

We oftentimes wonder what be
came of the city triffic ordinance
and why it is not enforced. Hardly
a day passes but what some autoist
goes through town os though on the
wings of the wind, and he is allow
ed to get away with it. If someone
s struck by those in such A hurry
we expect then the ordinance will
be strictly enforced for a time.

Nick Karolus is the possessor of
a dog. He says it is a shepherd
dog. We thing differently. Judging-
by the nose it makes when left
alone we imagine it must be a mix
ed strain part jackas3 and part
, coyote.
Dr. Elwood is somewhat busy
these days. Taking care of his
practice engrosses his attention a
part of the time, then he bus!es
himself assisting th, carpenters! at
work on the new addition to his resi
dence. Doc does the heavy work
hands the lumber to the workmen.
