The campaign launched by this

misguided flv.zle. The President,
who has been fretting for fear IiIm

totalling $400,000. This sum, says
a Washington correspondent, "is
regarded by tho uverugo man as

All of whicji once more demonstrates that the Pacific Hiv'h

should be widened at the earliest possible moment. Slick and
icy pavements are danueroiis cnoiijh at any time, or under any
conditions, but this narrow, twistinn thoroughfare, from llorn

MUST OREGON HAVE A
K (.(M'.H.on of tho state tux
Not only had several members of this commission; publicly
stated, they did not believe a state income tax necessary, hut
it was announced that the inspection of (lie California tax sit
uation, had convinced them that Oregon should adopt a plan in
harmony with the program in that state.
With only three dissenting votes, however, the Oregon com
mittee, has recommended the adopt inn of a state income lax
with a property offset and while we have always opposed such
a tax, on the ground that it would work a serious hardship
upon thi! industrial development of this state, we frankly admit
lhat this decision, is an important victory fur the proponents
of an income tax ill this state.

There's nothing thai I can't
afford to grace my well known
groaning boa id, wliati 'er the
season be; I've all the luxuries
that grew, and so with weary
eyes I view th yearly Christ
inas tree. My wife, my nieces
uiul my aunts have all for
which the spirit pants, they've
all they have desired: they're
amply fed secure and warm
and giving seems a hollow form
where giftft are not required.
But there are scores of worthy
folk to whom the day's a
mournful joke, siico want is at
their door; there is no coin to
purchase toys for shabby little
girls and boys, and many hearts
are sore. There has been sick
ness In tho hhack down yon
der by the railway track, the
father lies in bed; there aro no
Christmas presents there, no
Noah's ark or teddy hear, but
doctor bills instead. There aro
a lot of little kids who have
bum shoes Improper lids, their
fortunes wildly wrong: there
aro a lot of weary wives who
need some comforts in their
lives when Christmas comes
nlong. My aunts are fat, my
nieces nino hnvo everything
that's good and fine, their lives
are full of fun; my friends are
well-fixed men, indeed, and
they can buy whate'er they
need, and never miss the mon.
This year I'll blow what I can
spare, to buy some poor folks
Christinas fare, a project safe
and sane; and If you wonder
why I fail to send you costly
gifts by mail, this letter will
explain.
