and impoverish the farmers. 1 will not retrace a step in dealing with trusts.
 FAvoRS EQUAL TAXES.
 am an advocate of a. just equalization of assessments, and I am in favor of railroads and all corporations paying their full measure of taxes. For in that way, those who have will bear their proper proportion of taxes, and those who have least will not be burdened. But 1 can not stultify my manhood by deceiv- ing you into believing that the state and your schools can be maintained without revenue. You can not advance the hour by putting forward the hands of the clock ,
 Every citizen who loves his state is a patriot. Every patriot gladly gives part of his toll for the support of the state, not only for the love he bears the com monwealth. but for the liberty and protection the state gives him ill return. The true patriot does not want to be exempted from taxation entirely. His manhood revolts at the imputa tion of being considered a pauper and all who vote should rejoice in the feeling that they rightfully own an interest in their govern ment.
 I appeal to you not to be de ceived into the belief that you should not pay any taxes. Every free man should be on his guard Anyone who would strive to take away your privilege of support ing the government, would next try to prove that if you did not assist in keeping up the state government, that you should be deprived of the right to vote.
 ] believe in areduction of taxa tion. Taxes are now too high. l believe that the rate of taxation can be reduced. l believe that this can be accomplished by a proper taxation of corporations and by an economical admins tration. A great deal of the tax payers money goes for graft. If 1 am your governor, graft will be a thing of the past and l can safely promise reduction of the rate of taxation.
 THE TAX EXEMPTION SCHEME.
 One of the candidates for governor, advocates an impracti- ble scheme of exempting proper, ty from taxation. What would be the direct result of such a scheme? It would close every school in the country district. It would deprive every bright boy and girl who live upon our farms from the sacred opportunity of an edacation. The col leges and college presidents might survive if fairly endowed, but our country schools would be closed. The candidate who sets his sails to catch the breeze of votes by advocating this practically abolition of taxes, forgets that he is addressing an intelligent citizenship. Forgets that he is closing the door of intelligence and education to the boys and girls who live upon the farms. And this scheme is not even ney. The et-baggers1 and negroes in constitutional convention of 1868 tried to foist this scheme upon the free.

THEY HAD CUTE WHITE HATS
Two Gay Youths Having slipped Freely
of "Sassysuds" Bowed to
the Ladies.

After purchasing two bargain spring
hats. passing several saloons and
smelling the odor of some ones
breath. two young men yesterday af-
ternoon and evening imagined they
were having one of those gay times.
While passing ladies on the street
they would bow and touch those pretty
white hats on the pavements to the
disgust of every one.
Shortly after Z o'clock yesterday
evening they walked up Main street
toward First. AS they passed the
Book Nook box was on the edge Of
the walk. One of the smart boys"
pushed it into the street. A police
man was following and compelled him
to walk back half a block and replace
the box.
The young men are strangers in
the city They refused to give their
names. One of them said his father
was chief of police at Boise, Idaho.

passed the Roosevelt chair down to
their successors, but this trophy was
something really permanent as it was
designed to offer encouragement and
stimulus to one of the most important
forms of college activity. He said:
Il congratulate the class of 1906 on
starting such a pleasant custom and
trust that other classes will follow
with one as profitable to the life of the
school,"
Mr.. Rice then outlined the benefits
to be gotten from intercollegiate de-
batting and the characteristics of the
good debater. These he believed to be
a large fund of information which
involved broad comprehension of the
subject under discussion as we'll as an
encyclopedia of facts. Besides this a
good debater must be able to see the
essential points in a discussion. He
must be alert and best of all have a
reserve fund of humor to receive with
a twinkle in his eye the thrusts of his
adversary on the platform and give
him better one back"

special attention will be given to the
display of seasonable merchandise.
Nearly $50 feet of plate glass display
windows will be used.
Mirrors a Feature.
The feature of the window however
will be the large plate glass mirrors in

such a plan.
He says he believes in giving the
city the best that can be had because

necessary for such an establishment,
