To encourage eapital to inveit iu Oregon, therefore, becomes an

Any intlividual or (.'roup of individual with capital lo invest have
a:i income tax to consider. At the present time no state on the Pa
cific coast has an income tax. There is strong sentiment in Oresoa
iu favor of a state income tax, and under Governor Pierce's leader

sight : when he was voting
snowy white. Like some old prophet he apeared. or like a Druid
sage, and people marveled at his beard, and it was all the rage.
Hut Uncle Hiram wished to seem much younger than he was; he
longed to sec dark whiskers gleam upon his ancient jaws. He
bought a can of whiskers dye, to make his spinach brown; and
now he is the village guy boys jeer him through the towii. His
beard is brindled given and pink.' with yellow .streaks between;
he's soaked it in the kitchen sink and rubbed in gasoline. His
dignity is gone for keeps, he lias become n jest, and in the night
my uncle weeps his groans disturb my rest. I much admire the
ancient gent who wears no cheap disguise, who would not give a
wooden cent fur knlsoinine or dyes. The marks of age are no, a.
shame, no blushes should they cause; grow old with grace and
play the game, and look like Santa Clans, lint painted whiskers
and the like are frightful things to spy, and when we meet them

MARCH OF THE D. D. D.'s
The Dreaded Dudes ol Doodsd,
Are a Secret Order, hooded.
Edward Bede Dodd who was wedded.
Did a bad deed, for he gadded
With a gay kid, painted, padded.
Jaded, tired and heavy-lidded.
Then the D. D. D.'s Intruded.
From their wooded haunt secluded.
They came hooded, and thty crowded.
And they chided and derided.
And Ed Bede Dodd then they hided.
First denuded and then hided
With a rawhide they'd provided.
So they hoodooed and subdued Dodd,
And they ail cried out: "Adieu, Dodd,"
Every Dreaded Dude cf Dssdad,
Cried, "Adieu, Dodd; start anew,
Dodd,"
And the black-and-blue Dodd nodded.
