"a MUSH POULTIcE."

Senator Morgan in a speech before
the Senate Tuesday aptly character
lied LittleReld's trust bill as ga mush
poultice." Under the rules Of the
house, debate can be shut of, and so
with almost no discussion the Little
field bill passed that body without a
negative vote-the democrats sup
porting the bill SO that it might not
be said that they obstructed trust
legislation. The democrats offered in
the house various amendments to the
Littleield bill to make it at least
partly effective but by a strict party
vote all the amendments were
rejected.
In the senate, debate cannot be
shut of under the rules. But in the
senate a peaceful blockade is main
tanned by Quay with his omnibus bill
and it is believed that he will hold
his ground until a few days before
congress adjourns, so that the Little
field bill will have In be passed with
out discussion. The republicans want
no discussion Of the trusts, for fear
that the attention Of the country may
be directed to the protective tariff.
1t is remarkable how amiable and
forgiving rascals are Beveridge would
never refuse tc go to a banquet TO
which Quay was invited. Nelson and
Foraker could play ping pong together
tomorrow if they had a chance. But
when democrats fall out it is different.
1t takes a whole generation to heal
the breach. Republicans don't fall
out. 1t is only make-believe. 1t is
always designed for the purpose Of
accomplishing by strategy what they
fear to attempt by direction. The
situation Is now that OF an IDEAL re-
publican sham battle. Two factions
warning in the senate over an imma-
terial territorial admission bill, the
president breathing forth flames of
wrath and swearing by the great
horned spoon that he will call an extra
session and keep the soIous there until
September if they don't pass the Lit
tlefeld bill, and the democrats forced
by principle to help Quay maintain
the blockade. Meanwhile everybody
knows that the whole thing is a farce
and thai Roosevelt has made his ar
rangements to go bear hunting the
first of April. Roosevelt is much
more interested in extermilating
bears than trusts.

Electric Road Chartered.

A 81, 900. 900 electric road 1874 miles
long is the project which was chartered
Monday by the secretary of state under
The name OF the Missouri Central
Railroad.
The route of The new road as indi.
Gated runs through the richest agricul.
tural territory Of Missouri and passes
some OF the best towns of the state,
none of which have good connections
with St. Louis.
When this road is completed, it
probably will be possible to ride
through TO st. Louis by way Of ST..
Charles, an electric road already hav-
ing been completed to the latter place
by the Housemaus.
The electric road will cross the
Burlington in BrOokfield, The Santa Fe
in Rockwell, the Chicago & Alton in
Glasgow, the Wabash in New Florence,
and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas in
FaYette. 1t is proposed to erect three
nam power houses over coal mines
which the company VIII purchase.
This will give cheap fuel.
About 100000 has alreadv haer
spent in the surveys. Eighty pei
cent OF the mileage will have a grade
OF less than l per cent, while onl,
about 5000 feet of the road will b,
difficult engineering. The company
will operate freight, passenger auC
express cars, the freight being movet
principally at night, 1t Is thought
that the fast trains can RIM alta speed
Of forty miles an hour. Through tram.
and accommodations will be operated

A bill has been introduced into the
legislature providing for the puhlica-
tion of the personality assessments of
every individual. The bill seems to
be Objectionable for several reasons.
But on the other hand the fayorers of
the bill maintain that the plan has
been tried in at least two counties of
Missouri, Saline and johnson, and
that in each case it resulted 10 the
giving in OF about half a million
dollars worth more personally than
had ever been given in before; and it
is said that the publication cost only
about $500 in each case. These
claims are worth ioyes igating.

THE CLAY AMENDMENT.

The state commission has made its
report on the subject Of revision of
the revenue laws. Two members OF
the commission, after two years study
of the revenue laws OF the other states
of the union, have recommended the
Clay amendment with slight moditi-
cation. Mr.. Parks, the third member
of the commission, favors the entire
separation of state and county assess
ments, or would have a state board
fix the amount each county should
pay into the state treasury and have
the counties to decide the matter Of
valuation for themselves
The opinion of Judge Williams, Of
Boonville, will have great weight
wherever he is known. AS senior
member Of the commission he has
declared in favor of the Clay amend
ment and has expressed the belief
that such a measure would yield ample
revenue and that it would increase as
rapidly as the needs Of the state in
crease. The desirableness Of this
measure is based upon the inequalities
OF the county assessments, which,
under the present system, are made
the basis of the state assessment.
According to the present plan some
counties pay twice as much into the
treasury of the state as others in
which the property values eQuitably
rated are equal.
According to the provisions of the
Clay amendment the revenues Of the
state would be derived from exclusive
taxes upon the franchises Of public
service corporations, such as rail
roads and telegraph companies aaC
from licenses, sc. The desirablenes
of such an arrangement is increased
by the consideration that all thu
! direct taxes paid by individuals woulC
) then be local taxes, and it would con

be made light will be supplied to the
town OF Elma. Besides the mill, the
only buildings yet erected are small

Star Lumber Company is composed oil
Allen White and the men who owned
the Star mill, destroyed by fire last sum.
ner Senator O'Donnell, large stock
holder, will re .ide at the mil as mana
ger. When completed this 'aill will be a
great help to Elma. A logging camp
will be run in connection, and the pay
roll will be quite large.
The as SCISSORS report for Eima this
year shows some interesting figures. The
amount Of personal property listed is
$50, 600, OF which $4,000 or almost 60 l.
per cent is exempt from taxation. This
throws a heavy rate Of taxation on the
real estate. The net increase OF persr nal
property is % per cent. and OF real es-
tate 33la per cent. The increase in the
number of people assessed is 331s per
cent. Since last census there has been
an increase of 500 in the population so
that Elma has about 400 people.

What's in a Name?

Shakespeare made Juliet say "a rose,
py any other name would smell as sweet"
That these words are very true in the
case of the rose, is not doubted, but it's
application to other things and cond-
tons is seriously questioned. For illus
tration: We know that all railroads
must have scenery, grand, monotonous
or Indifferent, but when the Columbia
River Scenery" OH the o. r. 4 N. is
mentioned, the traveller will tell you that
it is different from any he has yet seen.
All highways pass thriving villages,
but, when the interesting and renowned
Utah cities, Ogden and Salt Lake, on the
0. S. L. Ry.; Cheyenne, Denver, Omaha
and Kansas City, on the Union Pacific,
and names OF numerous other cities on
this great railroad system, are thought Of,
comparison does not compare.
Again, all railway lines run trains, but
when the famous "Portland--C Chicago
Special" running daily via the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Co., Oregon Short
Line and Union Pacific, is brough. to the
attention it is known at once that it is
the finest and fastest train across the
Continent. There is none like it.
When preparing for a trip, remember
the significance of these names and get
