his fight against an income tax. There
are many millionaires I'm the Upper
House. There are more than a few
Senators with incomes OF more than
SlO0. 900 a year.
Under the proposed Bailey income
tax a corporation or individual with
an income OF $lOOOOO would be taxed
$4,000 a year. and under the Cum
Minis income tax plan an individual
with an income OF the same size
would be taxed $1,000 a year.
To the man with an income OF
100000 the proposed income tax
legislation looms up something like
this:
Il am now making $780, a year.
am not paying a cent Of taxes on
this sum To- the Government. II an
income tax law is passed must pay
out from $4,000 to $1,000 a year that
am not now paying"
Naturally the average rich man
considers an income tax a vicious
measure. and renders Senator Aldrich.

WASHINGTON. April 3O.-To avoid
disappointment friends OF an income

measure being enacted while the
present Republican leaders remain In
power.
The AldriCh-C Accommodated crowd
have no more intention Of permitting
an income tax TO become a law at the

had Of passing a postal bank bill or
OF admitting Arizona and Mexico into

hood measures are especially refer.
red TO because the Republican Nation
al platform promised both. The in
come tax is as unpopular with the
AldriCh clique as were the postal
bank and Statehood propositions. and
will stand the same chance OF success.
Senator AldriCh has already decided
what will go into the tariff bill. and
the things he has decided upon does
not include an income tax. The Dem
ocrats will solidly support the Bailey
amendment to the tariff bill providing
for an income tax. Il Is said sufficient

CAPTAIN BARTLETT AS \ MAN
Modest and Shy. Yet With Consid-
cradle Force of Character.

At the New Willard Hotel in
Washington the National Geographic
Society, after decorating Commander
Robert E Peary, T. s N, as discOv
erer OF the North Pole, will confer
anothe rgold medal upon Captain
Robert Bartlett, commander of the
good ship Roosevelt. for splendid
Arctic work" Recently at the Ex-
change Club, by the generous cOur-
tesy of his friend, Norman II. White
Captain Bartlett had an opportunity
to meet some sixty other friends of
Mr.. White, and show cause WHY the
medal shonld be granted. That was
not the way in which either the host.
the guest OF honor, or the other
guests would have forecasted the &c
casion, which was announced simply
as "a little dinner to the captain,
but, following TIE dinner, he made
his debut as d public speaker, and be
fore and after it, in casual encoun-
tiers, almost everyone had an oppor-
tunity to Judge whether the National
/ Geographic Society framed its eUlogy
wisely.

AS d matter of fact the captain is
naturally shy and on shore he has
had to ward off many dangerous ques-
tiOns as well as evade the cOmpli-

promptly carry it to an extreme and
end a conversation after the fashion
of the monarch of the bridge, if he

is that when in conversation with

THE ANGORA GOAT.

The recent organization of the
Multnomah Mohair Mills Company
in Portland opens up bright future
for the mohair industry in Oregon
and especially in Polk County as the
most important mohair section in the
state.
Heretofore, with a demand from
Eastern mills alone, Oregon mohair
has ranked first in quality and price
and has always commanded a prompt
and steady market. The addition of a
home demand for mohair, produced
by the founding of a mill in Port
land, will insure still more favorable
market conditions and the stimulus
which the mohair industry in Oregon
will receive from that source can
hardly be estimated.
TIE Angora goat has for a number

Can You Truth
fully Answer Yes?

During the past year have you beer
absolutely satisfied with all your gro
ceries-your teas and coffee, your but.
ter, canned goods and fiavorinp
extracts?
Can you truthfully answer yes?
These things are all within the con-
troll of the merchant, and as long as
painstaking care is exercised in their
selection, you are pretty certain to get
first class quality and flavor.
We do not claim to be perfection
we are only human and sometimes
make mistakes-but there isn't a store
in town that strives more faithfully to
have its customers absolutely salts
fled. or that will so gladly and quickly
rectify a mistake. We deem it a
favor to have an error called to our
attention, and to have any goods re-
turned that are not everything they
should be iu quality and freshness.
