Mr.. Bryan is advocating the taxa
ton of corporations on a sliding scale
based upon size of capitalization.
The same idea was advanced by John
w. Gates couple of years ago. Mr..
Gates proposed that corporations
should pay into the national treasury,
say on capitalization of 100000
an annual tax of 100000. This, he
believed, would stop over eapitaliza-
ton. In some instances the idea
would doubtless work we'll and Justly,
but. general application could not
fairly be made. Take, for instance,
the mining industry. Development of
copper property is undertaken.
In the beginning 1t is known that
anywhere from 100000 to &c.,
100000 must be expended in devel-
opment and construction before re-

Never town or community but
benefited in all its parts from street
railroad building. The age requires
quick transportation facilities. Get
them whenever you can. They mean
movement of the people from point
to point and that means more trade,
more money in circulation. The ex-
IRENE of short-sightedness is found in
curbing opportunities of the people to
get about quickly and cheaply. Ev-
cry merchant and every property
owner of town throws money away
in lost business and stunted values
every time he interposes successful
objection to such facilities.

patronage. This has eliminated Ma
tional Committeeman soper, Con

yet been named. This is an after
consideration, and in theory at least,
rests with the judges. CotteraIl is a

known more IN politics and in Masonic
circles than he has as lawyer Ralph

Two People Injured in a Runaway
at the Carnival Last Night.

What came very near being ratal
runaway occurred last night about
$50 0o'clock while theearnival grounds
we're packed with men, women and
children. Two young men, named
Barton and Williams, from near
White Oak, who were under the in
fluence Of liquor, started from the
east side in two horse buggy and
were applying the whip in liyish
manner. B. the time the team reach
ed the show grounds they were going
at a furious rate and striking one of
the guy ropes Of the steam swing the
team landed against the side of the
swing breaking the center pole and
smashing two OF the wooden horses.
The team then started west on Illinois
avenue and ran into buggy contain
ing Mrs. B. Weaver and young son.
They were thrown out and the child
was painfully, but not dangerously
injured. Mrs. Beeson, of Fairland, was
also struckby the team and painfully
injured, her wounds being dressed by DR.
Louis Bagby. The occupants Of the run
away buggy we're thrown from the We
hicle but neither were hurt.
The accident occurred at a time
when the streets were thronged with
people and it is miracle that score
of persons were not injured. One Of
the horses legs were broken and it
had to be shot by Chief Of Police
Webb this morning.

A girl at Weleetka keeps her face

night when her beau was coming she
rushed to her room and hurriedly dab
bed on what she thought was face
powder. She did not know until af-
ter the young man had gone that she
had dipped into the charcoal instead
of the face powder.
According to Professor Gould, the
mineral water found at Wagner,
Vinita, Chelsea, Claremore, Nowata
and various other towns in eastern
Oklahoma, comes from the same geo.
logical horizon as the water at Eureka
Springs, Arkansas water. On passing
west the formation containing this
water dips under the surface. The
mineral salts contained in the water
are more strongly condensed the far
ther west the water occurs, until in
the region Of Claremore and Nowata
some of these salts are contained in
relatively large amount Of number
Of minerals, and is valued for its re-

SNAKE INDIANS ARE
SAID TO Be ARMING

Are the Snake Indians under the
leadership Of Chito Harjo, "Crazy
Snake, preparing to make some sort
Of demonstration when the president
signs the statehood proclamation?
Reports have been coming into the
city for several weeks thatithe Snakes
are gathering in large numbers at Old
Hickory Ground and that they are
well armed. A negro living near this
city, whose reputation is good, says
the recalcitrants are gathering in
great punches and that he recently Wis
tied in the vicinity of Hickory Ground
and that becoming alarmed at the
warlike attitude of the Indians, many
of whom were negroes, he hastily re-
turned to Muskogee.
Inquiry was made at the Union
agency yesterday and it was discover
ed that there have been several large
pow-wows lately at Hickory Ground,
the main participants being Creek ne
groes
u do not think there is any more
activity among the Snakes than usu-
al, said high official of the Indian
agency to a Times Democrat reporter
yesterday. "We have heard many
stories concerning pow-wows on Hick-
ory Ground, but | do not think We
will all be "massacreed, 1t is more
than likely that "Crazy Snake, who
likes the glamor and glitter Of Wash
ington, IS making last stand for
funds to again send him to see the
Great White Father"

Of Hickory Ground are sald to be con-
'iderably worked up over the pow
vows that have been going on and

clar, a l2-year-old white girl living
about two and half miles from Sa,

She was discovered gagged and bound
and alone in the house about midnight
and was in dying condition. No one
was around at the time the deed was
committed. There is absolutely no
clue to the aSsailant.
Early this morning a telephone mes
sege was sent to the Muskogee police
asking that the bloodhounds be sent

CALLS BOOKER SENATOR.
Foraker Takes Fling at Activity Of
Negro Leader.

Washington, Feb. S.-Five witnesses
were examined today in the Browns,
vile inquiry by the Senate committee
on military. All were members of the
discharged battalion of negro soldiers
except ex-Sergeant Luther Thornton
of company B, He testified that, when
aroused by the firing on the night of
August IS, he was under the impress
sion that the barracks were being fired
upon by the people Of the town.
The next witness called for by Sen
ator Foraker was Winter Washington
and Senator Overman asked if he had
said Booker Washington.
"No," said Mr.. Foraker, "Booker
Washington is too busy attending to
his senatorial duties to come here. "
He referred to the interest of Booker T.
Washington in the question of having a
negro appointed to a Federal position
in Ohio, patronage which has been re.
garded as belonging to the senators
from Ohio.
Washington's idea of the Browns
vile affair was that "Mexican Greas-
ers" and "Texas cowboys" had done
the shooting in order to make trouble
for the negro soldiers.

OPPOSED TO DISCRIMINATION.
Los Angeles Chamber on Separate
Schools for Japanese.

Washington, Feb. 8.-The president
today received a telegraphic copy of a
resolution adopted yesterday by the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce upon the
japanese school question, which ex-
presses the belief that the public senti-
ment of California, especially of the
southern part, upon the question of the
exclusion of the japanese from the
general public school system of the
state has been to some extent misrepre-
sented and is largely misunderstood.
The sentiment is expressed that on the
main question, whatever may be the
diversity of opinion upon the constitu-
tional and legal phases, the board is
assured that "the general trend of pub
lie opinion in Southern California is
decidedly adverse to any discrimination
against the japanese as people in the
matter of public school privileges, aud
the belief that this opinion is based
upon consideration Of equity and justice
is held altogether independent of any
attitude which the japanese govern
ment has assumed or may assume in
regard to the question:

Thursday, February 7.

Salem, Feb. "a. - The senate today
voted to create board of regents to
select two normals to be continued and
to abolish the others. As the house
has turned down two similar bills it is
doubtful if the senate bill will get
through the lower house. The joint
committee on ways and means has de-
cided to favorably report appropriations
for the Ashland, Weston and Mon
mouth schools.
The Jones bill appropriating $780,
600 for free locks at Oregon City, con-
tingent on the United States increasing
the same to enough either to buy the
premsent locks or build new ones has
warm support in the house and the
prospects of its passing are bright.
The senate today refused to adopt a
minority report adverse to an amend
ment to statement number one. This
indicates that Bailey's bill to amend
the statement number one section of
the direct primary law will be passed
bv the senate, for the Is votes are
enough to carry the bill. Bailey's bill
provides for change in statement
number one so as to make it pledge the
signer to vote for that candidate for
United States senator who shall re-
ceive the highest vote for the party to
which the signer belongs.
During the day the house passed four
bills and at session tonight 33 We're
passed. Thirteen new ones were in
troduced.
Representative Jones, of Polk, intro
duced proposed constitutional amend
ment providing that the people again
vote on woman suffrage at the June,
1908, election.
A house bill creating the Twelfth
Judicial district of Gillian, Wheeler
and Sherman counties was passed.

land grants from the government to sell
the land at $3.50 per acre and in tracts
not exceeding 100 acres.

the granting of a Liquor license to any
one who has been convicted of selling

OPPOSES CONTRACT PLAN.
Ceef Engineer Stevens Wants to Dig
Panama Canal.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Chief Engi-
neer John F. Stevens wants to dig the
Panama canal, and if he cannot dig the
big ditch without the medium of con-
tractor, there is likel y to be another va
cancy at the head of affairs on the 18TH
mus. This is understood to be the Sc
cret of the mysterious holding up of the
award of the Panama canal contract
that has excited interest and curiosity
for the last two weeks.
Everybody has been wondering why
the administration has been delaying
action on the oliver bid for digging
the canal. One theory has been that it
was due to fight between rival finan-
cial interests, those represented by the
contractors underbid by the oliver
firm being credited with the efforts to
throw out the lower bidder and take
the prize. There have been tangles re-
garding Mr.. Olliver's partners. Fin
ally positive decision from President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War Taft and
Chairman Shonts, of the Canal COM
mission, has been postponed for two
weeks longer, ostensibly to complete
a full examination of the oliver bid,
but in reality, it is believed, to solve
the problem presented by MIR. Stevens

Salem, Feb. 6.-The bill appropriate
ing $l50,000 for the Seattle fair has
been amended to make the amount
800, 600
Seventeen new bills were presented
in the house and but three in the SEN
ate.
Huntley's corrupt practices bill, to
regulate elections, was given knock
out blow today in the house by indef-
mite postponement.
Land grabbers have descended upon
the legislature and are determined to
have measures passed which will COM
pei the state to issue deeds upon the
fraudulent land sale certificates and
also compel the state to pay interest
upon the money paid to the state by
the persons who procured the certiti-
Gates.
Normal schools are very much unset
tied in the legislature and nobody has
a clear foresight as to what will be
done. 1t seems probable, however,
that Drain and Monmouth will be
abandoned. The question will come
up in the house next Wednesday.
The ways and means committee OF
both houses this afternoon voted to APP
propriate $l25,000 annually for the
next two years for the University of
Oregon. This is about $45, 900 more
than appropriated two years ago.
The appointment of three railroad
commissioners by the governor, two to
serve until 1908 and one to serve until
1910, and their successors to be elected
by the people, is the substance of an
amendment which the joint committee
on railroads agreed upon today, and
which will be inserted in the Chaplin
bill before it is reported back to the
house. The committee also decided to
reduce the salaries of commissioners
from s., 900 to 81 900, and to provide
for the payment of travelling expenses,
instead of having the commissioners
pay their own expenses.
Among the senate bills passed today
were: To give laborers prior lien on
logs, lumber, etc; raising to 81 500 the
