ages which they have all along
permitted themselves to presume
they were, nor are what they can
be made under proper training by
their wives. That assertion must
surely jar some mans self-com-
placency. Among other things
requisite, the husband is to be
taught that his home influence
should be made equal to that of
his wife and that the entire bur-
den of shaping the moral and in
tellectual life of the children
should not be made to rest upon
the mother; that the husband
should so arrange his affairs as to
have more time for recreation and
devote less TO business; that the
accumulation Of money is not the
sole aim in life, and that hus-
band should be made to consider
himself something more than a
money-making machine with Il
family attachment. The husband,
if he does not already know it,
should be taught that a true wife
is one who is not greedy for riches,
but one who believes that man
is entitled to comfortable liv-
ing, and that the ardent, life
centered pursuit Of riches is a bar
to home progress, to simplicity of
life and to soul growth, Thank
you, Mrs. Emmerson, for the

truth that they are unable prompt

Some OF the enterprising business

ginssrs have been consulted regarding

that u tunnel drilled through tse

MANY BILLS

Bingham, OF Lane, has introduced

exempts mines whose output 10 less,

tax, but does not exempt the initial
tax. This bill is Identical With that
introduced IN the senate By Goo.
It would seem that Senator brow

says the Telegram. IL was an osteo-

Clackamas county senator introduced

bill to establish a bureau OF mines at
the last session. After u hard fight

by the governor. Mining men OPP
posed the bill on tho ground that
it would give the mining COM
missioner the opportunity to examine
their property. aud IL he cared to

This bill provides for commits

SMITHS BILL TO

correspondent Of the Portland Tele-

Smith, Of Baker, has introduced
bis big bill. The measure was sub.
mittsd to the house of Representatives
at salem Tuesday. Il vas referred
to the committee on mines, of which
Mr.. Smith 10 chairman. The other
mem bers of the committee are Bing-
ham, OF Lane; Capron, of Multno.
NAH; Smith, Of Josephine, and
Jackson, of jackson. When "big
bill" is mentioned, it is meant that
the measure relates to the Eddy COR
poration tax law. While Mr.. Smith
has fathered the bill In the house,
having introduced It under bis own
name, It is believed that he IL not the
author thereof. The gentleman from
Baker held conference at Portland
Monday With the executive officers OF
the Oregon Miners association, at
the presidential head of which body
is Alphabet Dodson, one-time Sump-
ter new ,paper man. The Smith bill
is undoubtedly the result of that
conference.
A copy OF tho measure has not
been received In Sumpter, but It has
been learned that the bill provides
that all mining companies In this
state, not on paying basis, shall be
exempt from the payment OF 40 In
corporation tax and al annual license

OF laws iu conflict Herewith.
The most vital section Of the pro.
posed law relates to the 6ling by
