An Undesirable Change.

The bill to reduce revenue, as presenter
by the ways and means committee Oh
the house. contains one unpleasant sur
prise, which will. we believe. fan to meet
the approval of the people. Both the
president and the secretary Of the treas
ury recommended to congress repeal OF
internal revenue taxes to the amount OF
$50. eoo.eao including what are known as
the stamp duties. which are most bur-
densonie TO the people. The bill reported
by Chairman Payne proposes cut Oh
$40 10000: and the extra 100000 is Sc
cured bv a reduction of the taxes on beer
and cigars. Indeed. it is probable that
the total reduction will be more than
$40 600 600. since the estimated loss OF
receipts from these added items is sls,-
coeoo.
1t IL known that the brewing and to-
bacco interests have been determined TO
secure a place in the list of partial ex-
emptions from taxation. They have been
laboring diligently with congressman, and
have been busy in trying to reach the
committee But every intimation up to
the moment when the bill actually APP
cigars should stand unaltered as long as
our extraordinary expenditures continue
and the other war taxes remain. There
fore these provisions of the new measure
strike the country Unexpectedly and I'M
favorahly.
There is no security to revenue In maxi
ing the total reduction exceed sso,oo0,Ooo
The estimates of Secretary Gage show
that this is the total surplus that can be
counted upon after making proper provi-
sion for the sinking fund 1t is just as
unwise TO court deficit as It Is to pile
up a surplus. The treasury should not
run upon a margin too narrow. The
sinking fund requirements should not be
ignored, as they were during the desper-
ate years of Democratic administration.
If trade should siacken. there would be
an immediate diminution of revenue. The
limit of sso0O0,Oo0 is safe. and 1. will in
clude practically all of the war taxes
agains. which there is public complaint
There Is no good reason why the beer
and tobacco interests should be brought
into the circle of immunity. The taxes
levied on those commodities are not ex-
cessive. They are not. in fact. by any
means greater than should be carried
perpetually in any scheme OF taxation
which seeks to collect revenues from
sources that can supply them with
least hardship. They are levied upon
luxuries. which ought to contribute heav-
lily to the public revenues. Every reason
exists for leaving these taxes untouched,
and there Is no valid argument visible
for their reduction o. repeal We hope
that majority in one house or the
other will stand firm for cutting out OF
the bill the proposed reduction in tho
beer and cigar taxes.

The reason why more young men are
learning trades In the penitentiary than
outside OF ii is because fathers are try

Another reason, which may not have

ten times as good an opportunity to study

Probably the most extraordinary argu-
ment ever brought forward In support of
the Nicaragua canal bill Is found In this
sentence from the Portland oregonian;
III we do not soon inaugurate the Near
aqua enterprise. 1t win be undertaken by
private enterprise under the sanction Of
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua, with consent
wrung perforce from Great Britain and
the United States
We have heard many a raid upon the
federal treasury defended by the argu-
ment that the government must take up
an enterprise too great for private means.
But this is the first time we ever heard
anybody urge that the government ought
to hurry UP and spend millions Of the
peoples money lest private enterprise get
in and furnish the money first. And this
from the same paper that berates the
ship subsidy bill solely because It claims
that this measure win spend public funds
in doing what private capital II permit
ted. will do for itself
Oregon is a wonderfully prolific state.
but logic is not one of Its products.

Add TO this that the settlement proposed
was eminently practicable, was based on
a solid common sense understanding OF
the difficulties of the Chinese government,
and the ultimate acceptance of IT by the
other powers is easy OF comprehension.

A male member Of "The Telephone

Monday night, was an unwilling con-
tributor Of SIS to the state school fund
yesterday. During supper at a Water
street hotel, the festive Thespian. who
had previously imbibed not wisely but
too well, proceeded to make things dis
agreeable Cor the other guests, and his
unsavory remarks to a waitress aroused
the Indignation of Squire Max srolo-
witz, who happened to Be present. The
youthful dispenser of justice sought to
calm the actor. and failing In this line
he threatened him with arrest. Now.
the actor was full hedged candidate
for the heavy weight ranks, and he
frowned down sneeringly on tho young
justice. who can easily do 115 pounds at
the ringsIde, and he promptly o1ered
to do battle. Naturally the actors sug-
gestion was spurned. and Squire srolo-
witz summoned a constable, who placed
the actor under arrest, who later put
up S25 for his appearance yesterday,
but as he failed to appear this sum was
forfeited.

Attempted Robbary.

At 8 o'clock yesterday morning, a
man attempted to burglariss the home
of Mrs. Davis, living at 2s2s Main
street, and while he succeeded in eject
ing an entrance through a door, he. was
frightened OF by Mrs. Davis, who later
looked from a window and recognized
him. His name was given to the police
and he will likely be captured. The af-
fair occurred at an hour usually select
ed by the fraternity, as It is then when
the night officers leave their beats. and
1t forms another argument for more po-
lice, which council will likely approprt-
ate for
