The resentment Of Giles Robinson when
he was put OF a 14th street car on Co.
lumbia Heights yesterday afternoon was
Very great. He fumed all over. and his
mind was working overtime and at light
ming speed to determine how he would get
even. razor which he had In his pocket
seemed to give a solution to the case. and
he determined to use II.
While Robinson was waiting on the street
corner for the car, of which his enemy, the
conductor. was In charge, to come back
Officer j. w. Green of the tenth precinct
station learned OF the matter and he start
ed for the man. Robinson didn't care to
have the officer find the weapon on him,
and he threw 1t away before he was ar
rested. The razor was later found by Off
Ger Green.
When Robinson took the stand in the Po-
lice Court before Judge Kimball this morn
Ing. he stated that he intended no harm to
the conductor. but was taking the razor to
be fixed so he could get shave.
The sentence imposed by Judge Kimball
was 800 or six months. The man will
make the trip to the southeast to visit
Warden Harris.
Decio Quatroni was also arragned in the

Harbor Officers BUSY.

The officers stationed at the new harbor
police precinct had busy time yesterday,
and three times as many men are on duty
at the new precinct could have been used to
advantage. Besides the duty of patroling
the river front, the officers had to look after
the large number of passengers going up
and down the river on the excursion steam
ers from a half-dozen piers. Then the re-
ception on the Italian cruiser started. and it
was necessary to have detail of men there
to handle the crowds and prevent accident.
The men did not have time to eat, and
Lieut.. Sutton and Sergt. Dean were on duty
wharves while the privates were elsewhere.
1t is safe guess to say the harbor men
were glad when the days festivities were
over.

LIMITS ON TAXATION.

There is bound to be an issue made
on the way taxes are running up in
Oregon. The state taxes have been al.
together too high for number Of
years.
One does not have to be secretary Of
state or governor or justice Of the SUI
premo court TO have an opinion on this
matter or to get at the exact facts.
Compare the state tax levies of 9th
er states--of the states right around
Oregon you will realize that the
handicap is against Oregon. This must
be changed.
Tho efforts to pass the bills to tax
franchises and the practically untaxed
corporations Of Oregon have not sue
ceeded in the past several legislatures.
On the other hand the machinery for
consuming taxes and revenues has
been highly developed and rapidly aug
mented by the reckless class who do
not care for consequences.
Is there any other way to get at this
but to put up limit beyond which
the state legislature shall not got That
was done in California by the new
constitution.
The only weapon left the people for
protection is the initiative and refer
endum. The ofiice-holding class and
those who seek to go TO the legislature
cannot be trusted.
The Journal believes the state tax
levy should not exceed 3 mills per an
nun, or an average Of what other
states pay.

A Wife,s Prerogative.

Judge Slower of Kansas City Tues.
day scored big hit with two women
who were in the court room when he
declined to frown upon the act Of a
wife searching her husbands pockets
while her liege lord slept. "I cannot
condemn the ancient privilege of the
sex to take money out Of her hus-
bands pocket at night" said the
court.
1t all came about in a case wherein
William N. Harding was suing Ina M.
Harding for divorce. Harding testified
to the extremely jealous disposition of
his wife; how she constantly accused
him Of lack Of affection, and then told
Of losing money in the night time
Judge Slower promptly ruled this out
"I think you have sufficient cause
for divorce without interfering with
the prerogative Of woman" he said
am grant you a decree on the other
evidence"
