AN ELEPHANT ON THEIR HANDS

The party that won this election
has an elephant on its hands.
The demands for improvements
from the new wards will be persls
tent, and hard to meet with the rev
enues Of the city.
The territory Is very large, and.
with twice the revenues, the expecta.
lions Of the citizens could not all be
met.
Their necessities are going TO ex.
eel any amount OF money, and their
expectations will be disappointed by
the best disposition can be made Of
the taxes
With all the good intentions In the
world the new wards will be full of
kicks that will manifest themselves at
the very first opportunity against the
party in power.
They will do that with a vengeance.
and not a little of the disappointment
they will feel at not getting all they
think they ought TO have will fall on
their aldermen.
SO there is no path OF roses before
the men who will undertake the gov.
eminent OF Greater Salem. Men who
serve without pay, and who cannot,
directly or indirectly, enrich them.
selves under the present charter, are
entitled 10 sympathy and encourage

Chinese Empress Dowaser's way OF In
terruptinE a Speech.

MACON Mo. May 30.-To send a telegram
to his paper, the Shanghai Mercury. the
correspondent at Pingtu, China, has to
walk twenty-five miles. Pingtu is city
of 40 600 people, and the telegraph line runs
through the town, but there is not enough
telcgraphing TO justify the establishing
of an office there.
The Rev W. H. Sears. a native OF Mis-
souri,, now a Chinese missionary. is the
Mercury's Pingtu correspondent. When he
! gets a piece of news that ought to 20
promptly. he saddles his horse and makes
a twenty -fve-mile journey over the hills

Corporation Cormorants.

1t is reported on excellent author
ity that the corporations of the state
are uniting for the purpose of de-
feating the tax commission bills.
These bills were framed by non
partisan board and are designed to
remove the burden of taxation from
the small tax payer and place it on
the shoulders of the corporation who
are able to pay more taxes.
They we're defeated in the last
legislature by the cry that there
was not time enough in which to
consider them as their Importance
merited at regular session.
Since the legislature adjourned
there has been persistent fight
against calling together in special
session to consider them. The plea
is made that it will cost the state an
immense sum to have the legislature
in session. tits also asserted that
the members are not competent to
pass on such weighty questions.
Ali this time the corporations
have been getting together and the
man who has small amount of mon
ey has been feeling the inequitable
burden.
The tax laws OF this state must
be amended. At present the Repub.
licans have possession of the state
government. They can amend the
laws. Gov. White is doing all he
can to carry through the reform and
he has been the target for all kinds
Of unjust attacks. Among others is
the refusal of the B. & o. to run ex-
cursions to parkersburg on the oc-
casion of Governors day on August
IL.
However the corporations of the
SbdJt ludy bItdt buS bOECi NO. hS
should feel that the reople who are
on the side OF the best interests of
the state are with him. They back
him up in his demands for more
equitable taxation. They may be
denied for season but an awakened
public sentiment will see that they
are crowned with success.
In case the delay is made intolera-
BILE by the blindness of these soulless
cormorants who are opposed to pay
ing what they should pay there
will be some lively events in affairs
political.
It is up to the Republicans who
have the power In case they see
fit to ignore the call OF the people
there will be ap opportunity afford
ed the Democrats who will give
. them the needed relief.

He PLAYED HOCKEY.
Truancy Officer Gets a Small
Boy at Hutchinson.

Hutchinson, Kan, Sept 15-The con-
duct of Herbert Dodge, truant from the
public schools. will land him for a term
at the state reformatory at Topeka.
Herbert was not in love with the school
boys life. 1t was not exciting and en-
thralling. So in preference, as he told
the probate judge. he stole rides aboard
fre1ghtS toDenyer and Kansas City with
other juvenile companions of similar
tastes Herbert had his hearing this
morning before Judge Campbell and
after hearing the boys story the judge
said: How do you think you would
like to go to the reform school2" The
youth answered, Just as SOON go there
as any place. We'll" said the judge,
I'll Just send you there and let you
learn some trade The sheriff will take
charge of the boy.
The Dodge boy has spent the last ten
days in the county jail awaiting his SEN
tence to the boys reformatory. AS soon
as the papers are made out the sheriff
and hand him over to the authorities at
the institution at that place.
Herbert Dodge was in attendance at
the NorthSlde school up to a few days
ago. at which time on the refusal of his
request to be excused he had left the
room without permission and failed to
return He was picked up in the after
noon by G. H Shirk, truant officer, who
found the boy lettering about the Home
theater.
| Charles Shirk is the truant officer for
the city schools and he stated that he
had in view the truancy of several other
youths and that if they did not take
care their fate would be the same as
befeH little Herbert Dodge.
