BUILDING MORE LINE.
Independent Phone People-A Cable
with $50 Miles of Wire in it.

The Independent Telephone
people are stretching new cables
for the betterment of their Corval-
lis system. A cable containing so
pairs of wires is being strung from
Main street to the Robert Huston
corner on Ninth, along Jefferson.
1t is 2,0oo feet or more than
halfa mile long. 1t contains more
than $50 miles of wire. It weighs
$4,000 pounds and cost several
thousand dollars. Similar cables
are to run through the alleys be-
tween First and Main, and between
Main and Third. From the Hust-
on corner smaller cables will run
north on Ninth to the Applewhite
corner for serving Jobs addition
and another will run south on the
same street to serve the southern
portion of town. The cables i'm
mensely reduce the number of over
head wires. When present i'm
provements are complete Independ-
ent wires will hardly be noticeable
in the business portion of town
The effectiveness of the system will
be immensely bettered, because
windstorms and live electric wires
do not bother cables, and disturb.

A big force of men will be engaged
in the local Independent improve

will be one of the very best in the
Northwest, those in big cities not
excepted. They have now about
1900 miles of wire in the Corvallis
Exchange.
The Independent people are
spending about seven millions ot
dollars in the Pacific Northwest.

The line will be in use as far a:

reeommending recon Legislation for bete In
lieves the government should impose a
graduated Inheritance tax, and, II posi-
BILE, a graduated income tax. He says; :.
II am well aware that such q subject
as this needs long and careful study In
order that the people may become famil-
lar with what is proposed to be done,
ing with wisdom and self-restralnt, and
may make up their minds just how far
they are willing to go n the matter;
out the project in necessary detail. But
! feel that In the near future our nation
al Legislators should enact law provid-
ing for a graduated inheritance tax by
which a steadily increasing rate Of duty
should be put upon all moneys or other
yaluables coming by GIT, beauest, or
II may be well to make the tax heavy
In proportion as the individual benefited
is remote of kin. In any event In my
judgment the pro rata OF the tax should
increase very heavily with the increase
OF the amount left to any one Individual
after a certain point has been reached.
II Is most desirable to encourage thrift
and ambition, and a potent source OF
thrift and ambition is the desire on the
part of the breadwinner to leave his chill
dren well of. This object can be attained
by making the tax very small on rnoder-
ate amounts of property left; because
the prime object should be to put con
stantly Increasing burden on the inner
ltance Of those swollen fortunes which
IL is certainly of no benefit to this coun-
try to perpetuate.
There can be no question OF the eth
ical propriety OF the government thus de
termining the conditions upon which any
gift or Inheritance should be received.
Exactly how far the inheritance tax
would. as an incident, have the effect of
limiting the transmission by devise or
gift OF the enormous fortunes In question
II IL not necessary at present to discuss
II Is wise that progress In this direction
should be gradual. At first a permanent
national Inheritance tax, while IL might
be more substantial than any such tax
has hitherto been. need not approximate
either in amount or In the extent OF the
Increase by graduation, to what such
tax should ultimately be.
