ator from Oregon, is IN Portland.
! Without previous notice. except to
his hotel and one or two of his close
friends, the senator slipped into the
city at noon today and this afternoon
is beginning TO make preparatios
for his entertainment of President
Taft when the executive of the ma
tion shall spend two days in the city.
Senator 'Bonrne returns TO Portland
Drowned by the sun of Washington,
but still full Of Oregon enthusiasm,
and glad to get back TO his own state.
He says that he has not much to
say except that he is glad TO return
to his home for a months visit. At
the same time he feels that he must
possible and return 10 his Official du-
ties in Washington, which he dropped
in order TO be In Portland and aid the
state in the entertainment of Presi-
dent Taft during his stay in Portland.
Taft Has Made Good
Senator Bourne, in his discussion
of events in the national capital,
holds to tie opinion that President
Taft, by his own attitude on the tar
IN. has made good with the people OF
the nation, and that bis future course
will add still more TO his favor with
the people of the country.
The enactment of the corporation
tax, through the suggestion of the
President, the submission of a consti-
tutional amendment providing for
net income tax, and the provision for.
the collection OF tariff data by presi-
dental appolntees are three great
things which President Taft has ac-
complished so far during his place at
the head OF the government, accord
ing 30 Senator Bourne. These things,
when they are fully recognized by the
people az large, Will show that Presi-
dent Taft Is q statesman OF high or
der, and that he is sincere In his de-
sire to do that which Il for the best
interests OF the people.
Congressional Appropriations.
Senator Bourne, in his chairman
ship OF the new committee for the CO.
ordlnating OF financial matters OF
congress sees n reorganization in the
conduct OF appropriations to be made
by congress I'm the future. He b.
lieves that the evolution OF the COM
mlttee. OF which he is chairman, Will
ters under the direction of this one
committee, and thus work out great
reform in the monetary legislation
OF congress.
At the present time the appropria-
tions OF congress exceed the income
OF the nation by 5000. 100000, and
this startling situation has to be met
by the next and succeeding sessions
OF congress. This work will be one
OF the great tasks set for the present
administration.
Senator Bourne will remain in
Portland until about the middle OF oc
tober. He Is due In Washington Oe-
tober 10, TO begin once more the
work OF collecting the data for the
guidance OF his committee The SEN
ator was met at The Dalles by Post
master James c. Young and c. b.
Merrick. He was met at the depot by
Assistant Postmaster Williamson, ].
Frank Sinnot. Frederick V. Holman
and several other friends. He was
accompanied by his private secretary,
A. w. Prescott.

Glad 20 Get Back.

In discussing his Homecoming
Senator Bourne said:
1T was with considerable regret
that / left Washington to come "a
oregon at this time, for felt that
my Official duties require my pres
enee there. AS chairman of the sub
committee on public expenditures,
have been endeayoring to gather
complete data upon the subject OF the
revenues and expenditures upon gov
ernmental business methods so that
the information wOnld be available
when congress meets in December.
But, while / regret to have this
work interrupted. II will be a pleas
ure 70 me to meet as many of my
constituents as possible. and TO join
my fellow citizens in welcoming and
entertaining the President OF the
United States

II feel, as ] believe do all the peo-
pie OF Oregon, that IL is a great hon
or to have the President as our guest
for two days, which is a longer time
than he will stop in any other city
except New Orleans. ! am sure that
the well-known hospitality of the peo-
pie OF this state will be fully mani
tested on the occasion OF President
Taft's visit. and that everything pos
sible will be done 10 make his stay
enjoyable.
IL have made no definite plans for
the entertainment OF the President
during the time he is my guest, for,
as in the case OF any man who is my
guest, shall consult and try TO COM
ply with his wishes.

months OF hard work. He not only

ARE EXPRESS COMPANIES vIo-
IAIING The IAW2

Nathan B. Williams. a young lawyer,
of Fayetteville. Ark, In his re-
searches into the history and work
ings of the United States post Office
department recently made the dis
covery that. according to his interpre-
tation of the constitution of the Unit
ed States and certain acts of con-
gress. very large proportion of the
mail matter in this country is being
transported in direct violation of law.
Section 1882 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States makes it unlaw-
full for. any one to establish a private
express for the carriage of letters or
packets over any postroad of the
United States or between any city,
town or place between which the
mail Is regularly carried. and yet this
is precisely what the express com
panies are doing eve-y day in the
year. Mr.. Williams finds that large
proportion of re mail other than the
first class is now carried by the great
express companies in competition
with the post Office department. AS
a result of this surrender by the gov
eminent of its prerogatiye, Mr. VIII
liams contends that
/ Towns and villages are handi
/ capped and Disseminated against by
4 tie express companies. and they sc
] juggle their rates as to get all of the
profitable business which would 9th
erwise go by mail. and leave the post

this is plainly seen to be at the ex
nense Of the reven- of the post Of

THE KENTUCKY CARDINAL.

The DeS MONIES Tribune, than
which there is no more interesting and
welcome paper on The Gate City ex-
change list, announced in recent is
sue that Kentucky cardinal had been
seen in that city couple Of days pre-
viously. A Mr.. s. B. Keffer was cited
as youching for the presence of the
bird and quoted as saying that it was
the first of the species he has observed
in Iowa during a residence of more
than half a century. The Tribune
went on to say:
Whether Iowa is favorite habitat
for these exQuisitely pretty songsters
is question. However, an effort to
induce few of the species to come
permanently into the state would be
worth while. For. even il the Ken
lucky cardinals failed to respond,
other song birds would not be SO back
ward.
There is no reason why the sum-
mer should not bring its great hocks
of birds that sing. A strict enforce
ment of the shooting laws, state
wide effort to keep the sparrows from
multiplying too rapidly and the set
ting out of birds houses by individuals
would result in an increase in the
number of Iowa songsters-
The Gate City was under the impress
sion that the Kentucky cardinal was
not unknown in Keokuk in recent
years. but it wished for authoritative
information on the subject and there
fore referred the matter to DR.. ]. NJ.
Shaffer. the well-known Keokuk natur-
alist. The good doctor writes in re-
ply:
"The red bird or cardinal cardinals

south of Rio Grande. Mentioned in

nal grosbeak was rarely seen in this

| nests in the trees on the nigh bluffs o.
the city. Perhaps they were enticed t.
4 remain here by the wise care of Mrs
James B. Diver. She always kept {
generous supply of food suspended il
the trees, and had the pleasure of see
ing the cardinals appropriate it Ths
red bird is the emblem OF the lows
Audubon Society.
This bird must not be confoundes
with the scarlet tanager or the rose
breasted grosbeak. 1t is pleasant t.
think that the cardinal has come witt
US to stay.
DR.. Skaters communication is es
peciaIly interesting and valr
able as showing that song bird
can be induced to stay PEI
manently with us and as pointing on
how this may be done. Others woul

states the case:
THE commission plan of city gov.

better method than the ward system
for making progress toward higher
ideals. Who would chop wood with a
crowbar or hoe when he can get a
sharp axe
There are severa professionals" in
Keokuk who prefer the hoo to the axe
for the purpose. but that is because
they find profit in the use OF the ineffi-
cient instrument at the expense of
Keokuk taxpayers. As their motives
are well known, their opposition to it
is in itself powerful argument In
favor of the commission plan.
