GOTHAM,S TAX DODGERS.

New York city's multi-millionaires |
arc noted for their lack of wealth |
when the tax collector comes around. |
They get out of the way after some
fashion not known to those less able
TO hear the burden Of taxation, and
every time one of these gilded liars
swears taxes off himself he swears
taxes on somebody else.
The New York World, discussing
the personal tax lists for the present
year says that they reveal an old IA
miliaI and pit,ful state of poverty as
still prevalent among the rich in little
old New York.
1t appears that the city has only
five real millionaires to its name, so
far as personal property is concerned,

uN,rILLA ON THE COMMITTEES.

Umatilla county Jared much better
on the committees of the senate than
on those Of the house.
From the loyalty OF the members
of the house from Umatilla county
to Speaker Davey, it was hoped that
some choice assignments would be
made to some of the delegation at
least.
In the announcement of the COM
mites which was made yesterday
afternoon, IT 's seen that Umatilla re-
ceived the following positions in the
house: slusher, committee of asri-
cp,ture: Barrett, committee Of educa-
ton: steen. committee of irrigation;
snsher, committee on insurance; Ear
rett. chairman committee of reforma-
tory and charitable institutions; Steen'
roads and highways; Slusher, CHAIR
man committee on rules and JOINT
rules; Barrett, committee on ways and
means.
umatilla has no member of the
house committees on assessment ane
taxation, banking. revision of laws
judiciary, railways and transporta
tion or public lands, all Of which arr
considered leading committees.
In the senate Umatilla Jared some
what better. The county is represent
ed on the following senate commit
tees. Smith. banking; Smith, claims
Smith. county and state offices
Smith. chairman education and ais
Cole on this committee; Cole, er
crossed bills; Cole, irrigation; COL
chairman medicine and pharmac'
and also Smith on this COMMITTEES
Cole, mining; Smith, resolutions
Smith, ways and means
Umadlla got the craftsmanship
the committee on education and me-
icine and pharmacy, a place on u
committee on banking, irrigation re
olut;ons and ways and means in u
senate.
However, this county is not repr
sented on the important commute
of assessment and taxation nor OF ra
ways ard transportation.
Considering the fact that the orga
ization Of the legislature was effec'
as amicably and as quickly as 1t "
this year, largely through the instl
mentality of Umatilla county 1t see
that at least one or two appointmel
on the leading committees sho
have been received.
But Umatilla county always e

PULLMAN PASSES IN STYLE.

Pullman passes to legislators have
again become fashionable this season.
For several years they were not the
vogue, but since Texas and several
other states have been talking about
cutting rates because Of the compa-

for these luxurious Inducements to
continuous travel have deemed them
none too good for itinerant lawmak-
ers. Indeed. 1t is only right ana
proper that the corporations which
are asking favors should grant them,

He has run an extraordinary course in San

aptitude for ward politics of the old-fash-
Toned kind. Still day of reckoning comes
at last TO even the most capable and sue

in particular have been disastrous to them
all over the country. They have been

W all Street,

Considering all the circumstances of the
situation, IL is fair TO ask whether the
sensational slump in the stock market NAV
not be something in the way of an "object
lesson" devised by those who chiefly con-
troll the financial markets to impress the
federal administration and the state legis-
lators with the desrability Of cessation
from the anti-corporation campaign now in
progress The possibility of a panic has
been dinned into the ears of the public for
some time. Especially during the past few
days has this warning been sounded. The
stock market has been weak and Inactive
for many weeks. and offered favorable
field for a maneuver. 1t is well known that
certain operators are expert at changing
from the bull to the bear side of the mar
ket. and ii calls for no vividness of imagi-
nation TO conceive combination to force
prices down In a spectacular manner for
effect upon lawmakers and administrators
without entaiiing losses upon those partici-
pating. Indeed. many millions were doubt
less made by the short interests during
the slump of the present week. and what
more likely than that they have gone to
swell the bank accounts of the men who
control the stock holdings of the larger
corporations? The trick of forcing SELL
ing movement In order TO buy al bargain
prices is familiar to every student of mar
ket conditions.
IL this whiri of liquidation were accom-
panied by signs of falling prosperity ii
might easily be understood as a normal
movement. a reaction consequent upon an
actual menace to the real values of the
securities. There is. however. no such con-
dition. The prospect is as fair today as
It was year ago, when the stock market
was buoyant. The only fact of malevolent
import now In evidence is the widespread

tendency Of the lawmakers OF the states
to bring the railroads under a stricter regu-
lation as to rates. That of itself does not
suffice to warrant a panic, unless 1t be
true that the railroad securities are grossly
overvalued. The question naturally arises
whether this selling movement. causing q
heavy fall In prices. Is not in effect merely
a wholesome process Of squeezing water
out of the stocks and forcing the readjust-
ment of values.
Unless bank failures result from the fall
of stocks 1t Is unlikely that the material
interests Of the country will suffer from the
spasm Of liquidation. This may, of course
happen IL the movement downward Is long
continued Public confidence in the reIa-
biIity and value Of railroad stocks may
be SO seriously shaken as to cause whole
sale withdrawal of funds from that form
of Investment and q Withholding OF cash
even from the banks IL those institutions
show signs of weakness. This happened In
1923, when hundreds Of millions of dol
lars were thus taken out of the banks and
placed for safe keeping in deposit vaults or
stockings" where they earned no divi-
dends or interest This movement caused
a serious contraction of the currency and
with the endless chain" of gold with
drawal from the treasury precipitated an
abnormal financial situation.
1t is remarkable and a reassuring fact
that despite the wild actions Of the stock
market yesterday no failures were an
nounced. This suggests that brokerage
firms have themselves not been largely par
tcipating in the market Of late. 1t has
been a current complaint Of the street
that the public at large has been holding
aloof for some time, owing to the down.
ward tendency of prices. The conclusion
to be drawn from these circumstances Is
that the transactions of the panic period
have been chiefly confined to the profess
sional operators This would in turn
serve to strengthen the belief that strate-
gic motive may be behind this movement.

The Canal and Business.
The arrangement announced In this press

The arrangement announced in this press
dispatch should yield results:
after the reorganization of the isthmian
canal commission, with Lieutenant Colonel
Goethals as chairman, 1t Is probable that
all seven of the canal commissioners will
live on the isthmus and the commission
will become more OF an administrative body
than ii was under Chairman Shonts. Under
Mr.. Shonts the commissioners were ad-
visory rather than executive officials. They
and in some cases on administrative policy
but the authority to direct affairs was
largely conferred in the chairman"
The canal is far and away the biggest
and most difficult piece of business the
United States has in hand and should
receive the undivided attention Of the men
charged Immediately with the task. 1t is
not a matter merely OF bossing gangs OF
laborers. and getting all the work possible
out of them. II that were true the prob
lem would be a simple one. Twenty or
thirty old style Mississippi river steamboat
mates would meet the emergency 1t was

fulness that they '.cussed'' the freight
aboard the boat. and then ''cussed" 1t or
again at the different points Of consign-
men;. and that when snake whip was

duced wonders.
The dirt must fly undoubtedly, and the
section bosses on the isthmus will play an
important part. Whether the men using the
picks and shovels are white. black, or yell
low the eye of the master will be valuable,
and maybe his tongue also will be useful.
But 1t should count largely In the equation
to have everybody in authority close at

gized by this bringing OF everybody. from
top to bottom, into close touch with the
work and with one another.
In brief. the arrangement smacks of busi-
ness, and business Is the watchword. Hith-
erto. we must all confess. business has not
been strongly suggested by our course. We
have helped several competent individuals
to remunerative private jobs, by means OF
q brief engagement with the government.
but have done little for ourselves. So far
as the President is concerned he has his
hands full OF other things. The canal. al
though colossal in Importance. must take
its chances with scores Of small questions
which the politicians press upon him. Half
an hour Of conference today. half an hour
some day next week. and hurrying through
written reports or private letters. describe
the Presidents part in the work. Manifest
~ such Is an entirely inadequate provision
for a monumental job, and the establishing
Of real headquarters on the isthmus should
help to usher in an improved order OF
things.
