Paone Main SI. REVENUE SYSTEMS WILL CHANGE GOVERNOR LISTER IS NON-PARTISAN The Orcgonian editorially says: "Two thirds of our imports now enter duty free." Admitting this to be true, ic it- nn im'nt'V nv n llPncfH tn trip ffilinri'V that it IS SO? AO AVI IU1 i"J Cli J V -V v.. - - - I If they are admitted free then the American consumer gets them cheaper than it they paid duty, lor he would have to pay the duty on top of what he now pays. Is it an injury to this country that its citizens can get some of the things not made or grown in it, without paying the government a tax for so doing? In the same editorial our neighbor says: "We have sacrificed our principal source of revenue." This is undoubtedly true but is it not better to sacrifice that heretofore principal source of revenue and try some other source awhile. The government requires a certain amount of money to maintain itself, but it matters not to it where the money comes from or by what process it is raised. Heretofore the principal source of revenue was the import duties collected on foreign products, but that does not prove that it was, or is, the better way for raising the money necessary for the conducting of the govern ment. As a matter of fact it is about the worst way in which the money could be raised, for it is a per capita tax, a poll tax, under which the expense of government is borne largely by the poor. It is an unequal and therefore an unjust tax. Take for instance the import duty now just again levied upon sugar. Who pays it? The man at work on the streets with a family of four or five to support pays more of this revenue the govern ment derives from sugar duties than does Rockefeller or Morgan. Why should he? A wise Frenchman said: "The tariff tax is' the best tax ever invented as under it you can get more feathers from the goose with less squawking than under any other." This is true, for it is a tax paid as a part of the price of an article and is not recognized as a tax. When we made sugar free of duty we lost revenues to the amount of sixty million dollars a year. Was that a loss to fUn ovnvnrm u-nvk-iniT nmn nr wns it ii pain? The consum- ers of sugar simply paid that sum less than they otherwise would have done and so saved that much money. It had to be made up in some other way, but anyway the gov ernment took its spoon out of the poor man's coffee and tea cups and let the industrious little housewife put up a few cans of fruit for her kiddies use during the winter, without taxing her for using sugar in so doing. Whether we like it or not there is going to be a radical change in the system of gathering revenues for govern mental use from now on. The exigencies caused by the European war will place a tax on everything taxable, and incomes will be the first to feel it. They will be taxed the heaviest. On top of this will be an inheritance tax that will be almost confiscatory, at least until the war debts are gotten within reaching distance of the people's ability to meet them under normal taxation systems. The example set by Europe will be followed to a large extent in this country, and imports will pay less than hnvotafavo fm the simnle reason that if the commercial war certain to follow the coming of peace is waged as fiercely as economists predict, import duties will be made prohibitive. When this is done, the prices manufacturers in this count ry will be permitted to charge will become a matter for government regulation, for this will become necessary to protect the people from the manufacturers at home.' This sounds much like socialism, but whatever it is, it will come, that is if one half the dire predictions being made about what will come after the war are true. The San Francisco attorney defending Geffono is "onto his job." The prosecution is trying to show that Gelfene is Torturici who is wanted for a murder committed deven years ago. Gelfene says he is only 2l years old and cannot be Torturici, who was married when the crime was committed. The lawyer wants to get him out of the hands of the police, who refuse to let him shave, saying his whiskers will show he is much over 26 years old. The judge has taken the matter under advisement, and in the meanwhile Gelfene's whiskers continue to grow. Governor Lister, is the second governor in the United States to declare in favor of non-partisan elections for all state, county and city elections, Governor Johnson of California being the first. The governor, though, is not a recent convert, having twice recommended to the legis lature the abolition of party lines, and the removal of the party label altogether. He holds that the work of the legislature is badly hampered by partisanship, many meritorious measures being killed through political jeal ousy. Recently he stated his position as follows: "I cannot see any reason why the county commissioner, city treasurer, state auditor, or member of the legislature, should be either a republican, democrat, or a partisan of any other nature. He is fit or unfit for office on his-own qualifications. The character of the man not his views on a tariff question, or some other matter with which he has nothing to do should determine his fitness. "I shall do my utmost to bring about the success of the non-partisan movement in this state, and I believe it will soon be adopted, as the most rational object possible in state, county and city government." Colonel Roosevelt has read the riot act to the republi can party and told its leaders exactly where to get off. He is willing to make the race against Wilson, but notifies the party in advance that he is going to be the boss if elected, and that it must do as he wants it to or he will make it do it. He is not going to "pussyfoot," whatever that is, but is going to make the world sit up and take notice that Teddy is IT. He seems to think the party can not get along without him and for that reason sets him self up as dictator. It will be a strange thing indeed if the great republican party with seven million voters can not find in its ranks any man but Roosevelt to lead it. It will be a strange thing indeed if that great party selects as its standard bearer a man who after it had elected him to the highest office in the world, deliberately betrayed it for his own selfish purposes and to gratify the most over weening egotism ever shown by any man in modern days. The Oregonian is not pleased with the commission form of government as exemplified by Mayor Albee and Commissioner Daly. It calls the former a "weathercock'' and the latter a "bullhead." It is stirred to this bit of nomenclature by the action of those gentlemen in connec tion with the purchase of water meters after the people had voted against-their being bought. It is a safe bet the Oregonian did not have to search the dictionary to find the I'ight names to fit them. All the Pacific Coast A Great Show Country "All the Pacific Const a Show Place" is the new Slogan of the South ern Pacific and in order to impress the cast that the slogan has the truth to back it, the company has recently is sued an illustrated booklet entitled. "Four Oateways to the Pacific." The folder gives a general description of the Southern Pacific routes to the coast through Portland. Ogden, El Taso and New Orleans. Something new in the wuy of railroad advetrising is the two color map with il lustrated inserts, showing at glance the many scenic attractions of the coast. These illustrated inserts show scenes from Washington including Mt. Baker and -si t. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, and .Mt. Adams. Among the Oregon scenes are illustrations of Mt. Hood, Mt. Jefferson and the Three Sisteis. The new folder is printed in orange ami black. With its general artistic make up, if should appeal to the tourist. From the efforts that are now being made to attract tourists to the far northyest it is evident that the passe ger departments of tho railroads feel they have been overlooking a good thing when they permitted Po per cent of the eastern tourists to return direct ly from San Francisco, instead of rout ing them through what is really the most impressive scenery of the entire west. It seems that from a tourist standpoint, Oregon is about to come into its own. ie 'f j: 5: ;j $ USE COCOANUT OIL FOE WASHING HAIR All Women Need a corrective, occasionally, to right a disordered stomach, which is the cause of so much sick headache, nervous ness and sleepless nights. Quick relief from stomach troubles is assured by promptly taking a dose or two of Beechanf 8 Pill They act gently on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, assisting and regulating these organs, and keeping them in a healthy condition.

Most soaps and prepued shampoos contain too much alkali. .This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain nuilsilied con coanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expulsive soap or anything else you em use for shampooing-, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your iii -with water ami rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an ubundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly,iind it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. Vou can get inulsified encoanut oil at most anv drugstore. It is verv die ip. iand a i'ew ouncse is enough to last everyone in the t'.nnilv for months. On the face of things it looks as though the republican nomination lays between Hughes and Roosevelt. Down under the surface it is probable the republican old guard have entirely different arrangements. They are not say ing much but they are not idle, and when the show down comes they will have a surprise for the country -as well as Mr. Hughes and Colonel Koosevelt if they can and if they can't they will do their best to beat Roosevelt with Hughes.
