Found Thlrtx.two Skeletons.

Twenty-Five more skeletons were
discovered by workmen while exca-
waiting for the new Sage dormitory at
Princeton university. This makes a
total of thirty-two bodies, which are
now thought to be those of Colonial
residents. Inasmuch as the ground
was at one time a private burial
ground extant records are scant. The
grave of Nathaniel Fitz Randolph, the
benefactor of the college, however, has
.;een definitely located, and it has not
yet been determined whether it will
be necessary to disturb it.

An epidemic of cyclones and lorna
does, the like of which has not been
known for many years, swept through
the south, leaving in their wake scores
of dead and manled bodies and the
dismantled wrecks of property worth
many millions.
An exact list of the dead and an &C.
curate estimate of the monetary loss
may not be compiled for days, but
from all along the path of the storm
come tales of fearful loss of life and
descriptions of whole towns and vii.
lagos completely wiped out.
The state of Tennessee was an es-
pecially heavy sufferer. Careful es-
Inmates indicate that at least fifty
people were killed in the Volunteer
state alone, while the loss in dollars
and cents will not fall short of a mill
ion. At Fayetteville, Franklin and
HillsbOro there was loss of life The
latter town is said to be practically
destroyed, while at Centerville and ad.

very heavy both in lives and property
Near Pulaski, in Giles county, the
death list reached twelve, and many
were injured.
At Cuba many houses were blown
down, and at Gilestown not even a
shed was left standing. No fatalities
were reported from either place, but
information is very meagre.
At Horn Lake, Miss, half a dOzeI
lives were lost, and the property dam
age was very heavy. From neighbor
ing towns come tales of men, womer
and children killed and homes
wrecked.
The tornado swept over into Arkan

Monmouth Springs, besides wreck
ing a score of buildings. Other points

WHY NOT BUILD 1T?

Pendleton has considerable build
ing either underway or proposed for
the coming summer. The new wool
en- mill is being erected. So is the
new Christian church. A new Cath
olic church is to be built; a new de-
pot, federal building and the Hotel
Pendleton is to be enlarged by the
addition of two more stories.
But the one improvement that
stands right now as Pendleton's fore
most building need has not yet been
provided for. 1t is a new theater.
Why cannot this improvement too
be secured during the coming sum-
mer? There is yet plenty of time for
the construction of a theater before
the opening of the season next fall
There are plenty of building sites for
a theater and Pendleton owners have
ample money with which to build one.
For years the theatrical people have
been begging Pendleton to erect a
theater. This is a good theatrical
point and with a good playhouse
Pendleton could secure any show up
or the road. For a good theater,
built along sensible, modern lines,
the northwest circuit will guarantee
permanent, reasonable rent
Just at this time the men who have
heavy investments in Pendleton prop
erty could do nothing more to their
interest than to erect a good theater
Improvements along this line are
needed by Pendleton if this city is to
hold it's own in the race with Walla
Walla and other rivals.
There are some people who take a
gloomy view of Pendleton's future.
But if these people will but open
their eyes they will see that the sun
is shining brightly. Pendleton is al
right. 1t is going forward steadily
and its advance will continue whether
the town be wet or dry. This city is
the center of mighty and a growing
empire. AS the surrounding country
l., da,,aIooad en- will Dapdlatop On
forward.
Right now the proper thing for
every loyal property owner and busi-
ness man to do is to join in building
up the city. One of the greatest
needs is that of a new theater. 1t
should be built this summer.
Why not built it?

AN EQUITABLE TAX.

OF vast significance is the growth
of the sentiment in favor of a nation
al income tax. A few years ago the
idea of such a tax was treated with
derision by conservatives and the SUI
preme court of the United States de-
clared law providing for an income
tax to be unconstitutional.
But now how different it is. The
dispised idea has lived and it has
friends among those who formerly
denounced it as a populistlc vagary.
Foremost among those who now
champion the idea stands President
Taft He has already advised con-
gress to pass an income tax law
though such will not be done this
year, and it is understood a strong
pronouncement in favor of such a law
will be made by the president this fall
Though the supreme court, by a
majority of one vote, once declared
. an income tax law unconstitutional
it is now insisted by lawyers that this
obstacle to such a law may be over
come. Among those who hold that an
income tax law would now stand in
the courts is Senator Borah of Ida
no. Upon the subject Senator Borah
is quoted as saying:
"It seems to me that in the light
Of the decisions Of the supreme court
of the United States, rendered since
the income tax decision, it must be
held that an income tax would now
be held constitutional by that court.
The underlying and fundamental
principles upon which the income tax
decision was based have certainly
been modified, if not wholly aban-
doned, by later decisions.
There is no way, to my mind, by
which the later decisions can be re-
conciled in principle with the income
tax decision while on the other hand
the later decisions are all in har-
mony with the principles which have
been laid down by the supreme court
from the Hyltcn case in 1896 to the
Springer case in 1880.
"a succession case is more of a di-
rect tax by every definition of the
term than an income tax. If tax
upon the declared dividends of cor
porations holding real and personal
property and deriving their incomes
from such property is not direct tax,
it is little bit difficult to under
stand why the incomes from rents
and real estate could be direct tax.
an other words, you cannot change
a constitutional principle by calling 1t
an excise tax one day and a direct
tax the next day, when the sources
of income are precisely the same"
From this it would seem there is
little reason for worry as to the le-
gality Of an income tax law. The
opinions of the supreme court are
not inflexible. They change in ac-
cordance with changing economic
conditions. Should congress now
pass an income tax law it would very
likely be upheld 1t should be up
held, because such a law would be
just and sound It would be the most
equitable Of all taxes because under
such tax people would pay exactly
in accordance with their ability to
do so.
