place our pencil upon just the date
when this conception of the chief ex-
ecutive was made operative. We can
not think of any president Of the United
States who regarded himself as the
chief clerk of the people, elected to his
high office merely that he might sit in
Washington and watch the deliberations
of congress. There might have been q
few such men in the '40's, Pierce or
Polk. but they are not the kind Of men
whom the people delight to honor.
When they choose a chief executive
thew choose him not to oversee legisla-
tion. for that would be to confuse the
Two functions of the government but
to execute the law and to execute pop
lar opinion. He could not carry out
this latter function if he remained at
Washington. The people wish to see
their president and they wish to hear
him. The time and place for much that
he is to say is not at Washington. The
people differ from the Williams verdict,
from the congressional verdict. They
have been so accustomed, it is true, to
having the president travel about or
the favor of the railroads that they
may not at once face the necessity oil
paying for this travel. But they viii
continue to demand that they see the
man who is their chief, and they viii
not ask to see him at his own expense.
Some provision will have to be made.
for we can scarcely elect our presidents
as we nominate our ambassadors, with
the expectation of the private purse
eking out the official salary. st. Pau

Richardson Roars.
Dispatch

In an article that is far more vigor-
GUS than pointed, Bro. Richardson of
the Tony ENTERPRISE charges us with
error, prejudice and various other things
in our views on assessment of railway
ties. We may be in error, and would
be glad to have Bro. Richardson point
out the error, giving some other
grounds than mere personal opinion.
We admit prejudice. We are prejudice
ed in favor of compelling corporations
whether great or small to pay taxes on
their property as the individual does.
There may be some clause Of the tax
laws or ruling thereon by means of
which forign corporation can escape
taxation on railway ties, which, if own
ed by farmer would be taxable. If
there is such we would like to be shown.
Any honest man would admit such rule
to be enjust, and it certainly isn't the
business of assessors to seek for ways
of exempting the rich from burdens
which the poor cannot escape.
If railway ties are exempt from
taxation, why does the state tax COM
mission consume several pages OF their
Instructions to assessors in discussing
the question as to whom they shall
be assessed? The case Of timber, ties
and lumber piled along a railway is
discussed at length, and assessors are
advised to assess same to the owners
unless the railway company is acting
as agent for the owner, in which case
the railroad company is to be assess
ed. Of course Bro. Richardson can
say that the tax commission is gov
erned by prejudice, which settles the
case.
In the article referred to we did not
say that ties are assessable, for we do
not pretend to the unlimited knowledge
of Bro. Richardson and some of his
friends. We said we believed they are
asssesasble and of right ought to be,
and we believe it still. If they are not,
will Bro. Richardson please point out
the clause exempting them. Glen Flora

That Tie Proposition.

Don't be deceived by the efforts to
brace up Supervisor of Assessments
Burgess on the tax proposition. The
TONY Enterprise asserts that the state
tax commission exempts them in let
ter written by some member of the COM
mission to some one Assuming that
some member of the tax commission
did write something on the subject to
some one. The issue is, what did some
one say to someone on the subject!
That something that some unknown per-
son wrote to another unknown person
is as yet an unknown quantity. In the
meantime the organ of the supervisor
of assessments dictatorily asserts that
reference to some ones letter settles
the matter. Perhaps it does.
But the average tax payer will Won
der how it comes that ties belonging to
merchants in Minneapolis, for Coolidge
Fuel and Supply company, who buy ties
here is a mercantile institution, why
ties or any other article belonging to
that concern should be exempt while
farmers have to pay OF their ties as
well as anything else? WY should a
merchant be compelled 70 pay taxes on
his stock, if foreign corp )ration is to
be exempt on merchandise found in the
county at assessing time?
Many saw nils CT large quantities
of railway ties. 4 member of the
Daniel ShaK Lurl5c" company said re-
Gently that their AL cuts most of its
tamarac,l into railway ties. Why
shouldn't they claim exemption.
The essential question is, whether or
not corporations are to be exempted
wherever they may be or only when
they must be? That is the point at is
sue.
The News believes that the correct
policy took to the collection and not the
omission of corporation taxes, that the
burden of public expense should be
borne by the people on even and equal
basis, without favor to anyone.

The President and the Country.

-
1t is quite true that the people elect
cOngressmen to represent them in
Washington, that they expect these
congressman to go from their district
to the capital and there carry on the
business of the country by contributing
the views of the special district to the
common fund. The congressman is
supposed to be intelligent enough to
compare the different points Of view of
the country with his own; he is not ex-
pected TO make junket to Massachu-
sets to see how the manufacturing
point of view toward hides compares
with the Montana producing point of
view, although it would no doubt i'm
prove the power Of comparison and the
conclusion, if such viewing were done
on the spot. So Mr.. Williams can make
his journey from Mississippi to Wash
ington in a padded cell if he chooses.
But with the president it is far other
wise.
Once upon time the chief executive
of the country was but the chief clerk
although we might be hard put to it, to

Two Cents Per Mile.

The Wisconsin Railroad rate COM
mission is again wrestling with the two
cents per mile proposition.
The railroad companies advance the
argument that it costs more than two
cents per mile to carry their passengers
at this time. But the companies do
not give the commission its estimate Of
increase in travel if the two cent rate
is adopted. Probably fifty per cent
more people would ride than are now
travelling.
With this view Of the case the rail
roads would lose nothing and the public
would be greatly benefited. : New

Last week the News made some OBJ
servations upon the endeavor Of certain
people to make it appear that this pa
per was a sort Of political center and
that it would have ticket in the field

AS to the first proposition we are will

forts for good local government has
been largely responsible for it's rapidly
increasing circulation, would seem to
warrent the opinion that this paper IS,
in a sense, political center. A large
portion Of our callers are inclined &c
want to discuss the question OF how tc
get rid of graft. They want good coun-
ty government and they appreciate the
work of the News along ttat line no
they are inclined to discuss the matter
But the matter Of manufacturing
ticket and entering the field of politica
bossism is another proposition. 1t i
not only what the News will NOT do
but it is what the News opposes. Thi'

subject, we may be warranted in sayine
that it wants fairness to itself. |

ARMY EQUIPMENT ON TRIAL.
May Result I'm Some Changes or Elim-
nations.

Washington, June 9.-The army
quartermasters who have charge of
military clothing feel that the sum-
mer operations planned for the army
and such militia as may take part in
the mobilization, will afford an ex-
cellent opportunity to make a practi-
cal test of the various articles of wear
ing apparel which have been adopted
for the military establishment. There
has been more or less criticism of
various things, such as the marching
shoe. the new Logging and the gaunt-
let. Some of the wearers of the army
shoe prefer a double sole, and others
single sole. There is also a division
Of opinion over the relative advan-
tages of the commercial and the ortho-
pedic types of shoe; the latter hav-
ing a square toe, is supposed to add
comfort TO the shoe, If lacking in
style.
The marching shoe has been pro-
nounced success, and much praise
is given It throughout the service. II
has been practically decided that the
single sole answers the requirements
of protection to the foot and contrib
utes to the durability of the shoe. the
objection to the double sole being that
1t Is too heavy. The new Logging is
shortened article, without the straps
under or the flanges over the foot,
which were always In the way. 1t is
expected to meet with approval on
further test. The glove will probably
continue to be the subject of mild con-
troversy, since some people prefer the
close-wristed variety and others the
gauntlet. There is something to be
said for both types. The coming to-
gether of a large military body and
the close association of the Officers

ARMY TO HAVE OWN WIRELESS
Government Would BE Independent of

Washington, June s.-lt has been
decided that the army signal corps is
to develop its own wireless telegraph
system. There is an increasing call
for this method of communication at
the coast artillery forts, and 1t is
found that the installation of such a
complete system as that in the south
ern New York district would repre-

petition are many of the speediest
telegraphers from Canada and Mexi-
CO. The tournament has been ar
ranged by the New England Telegra-
piers Tournament association, to
raise fund which will enable the
New England telegraphers to endow
a free hospital bed. Life insurance
classifications show that with one
single exception, the mortality is
greatest among telegraphers and that
more telegraphers die from consump-
ton than in any other profession.
As an incentive Andrew Carnegie
has donated a handsome international
trophy. 1t is solid silver cup, 23h
inches high, with base, and is symbol
ic of the telegraphers' profession.
This cup stands for the championship
of the world, and will be decided not
alone on fast sending or fast receiv-
ing, but upon the greatest number Of
points won. in all classes, accuracy
and speed to count. Besides this tro-
ply, Clarence II. Mackay, president OF
the Postal Telegraph company, has
donated four handsome cups as first
and second prizes in team match.
The last previous contest of that
kind ever held in New England, was
held in Chickering hall in 1898. AS
at that tournament, the work will be
divided into three principal classes,
press work, ordinary kilograms and
stock quotations. One of the most
interesting contests will be the team
contest. Nothing of the sort has ever
been attempted here before. The men
entered for that contest will work in
pairs and the only test will be the
amount of work that each can accom-
plish In a given time. No particular
attention will be paid in this case 81

sender. but, of course, correctness Is

ent champion of the world; McClin'

RIVALRY BETWEEN TOWNS.
Several Grand Ronde Towns Want Bi,
Sawmill

The La Grande Commercial club is
making an attempt to raise funds for
the purchase of a site to be offered
to the Palmer Lumber company as an
inducement for that company to es-
tablish its sawmill plant at this place,
says the La Grande Chronicle. An
option is held on 73 acres on the
river northwest of town, which can
be secured for little less than $4,000.
About $4,000 of this amount has been
pledged.
The Palmer Lumber company has
extensive timber holdings below Elgin
along the Wallowa extension. It is
the intention to put in a mill of n
capacity of 100000 to 10000 feet
per day of 10 hours, and they have
the timber to keep such a mill going
for 90 years. Three sites are under
consideration. One is on the oompa-
ny's own grounds near the timber the
other is at Elgin and the third is at
La Grande.
The company has asked nothing of
any locality. but Elgin has offered a
free site of 100 acres and the La
Grande Commercial club has decided
that 1t is judicious thing to make
an equal offer. 1t is not given out
authoritatively that the offer of this
site will secure the mill for Ia
Grande, but those who are taking the
lead in the matter believe that the big
plant can be thus secured.
1t will be worth the money II this
matter of a site is all that stands In
the way. The mill will employ 200
men and will run on double time. and.
as nearly as practicable, all the year
round. 1t will require at least a train
load of logs per day to keep such an
institution going, and in various ways
an industry of this kind located at La
Grande will increase the population
1900 in year and will proportionate-
ly stimulate all lines of local trade and
business.

oIiEGoN.S POPULAR GOVERNOR
Chamberlain May Be Timber for the
National Ticket

The Catholic Sentinel of Portland
in speaking of Governor Chamberlain
of Oregon. says:
The recollection of Governor Cham
berlain makes him a strong possibil-
ity on the national ticket in 1908. 4
democrat, who can twice carry a state
having a nominal republican majority
of from 10000 to $4,000. is bound to
attract the attention of the national
democratic leaders.
Governor Chamberlain's victory last
Monday was not brought about
through disaffection in the republican
ranks. On the contrary, Mr.. Witty
combe had the support of all the
party leaders and party press. He
had been selected after a vigorous
and clean campaign in the primaries.
He is moreover a strong man person
ally and man who has done much
for Oregon.
All these facts add to Governor
Chamberlain's strength. and there is
little doubt but that If on the Nation
al ticket, he would be able to carry
the Pacific coast in the next election.
