The whole purpose Of the protec
tive tariff, he said. is to enable the
American manufacturer to get a
higher price for his products THAI
he could otherwise get.
Your purpose, he said. address
ing the Republican side of the cham
Der, lis to give the American manu-
facturer an advantage over the for-
eign manufacturer, but the effect Of
that policy is to put the American
consumer at the mercy OF the Amer
can manufacturer"
The practical effect was to give a
bounty to the favored manufa2-
turer. The only difference is I'm
the direct and the indirect way OF
taking money from one man and
giving it to another who has no
honest claim upon it" he said.
No Prejudice Against Rich.
Mr.. Bailey insisted that he had no
prejudice against any man because
he was rich, but he had strons
prejudice against some men on &C
count OF the way in which they had
become rich. II do not hesitate to
say he continued, that taking
other mems money through favor
itism OF a law IS but little less dis
honest than to take It by fraud aud
force. 1t is because OF the belief
that is so widespread among the
American people today that these
great fortunes were created By TAX
ing what belonged TO others that
there is SO much prejudice agains;
mon of large means"
Engaging in a colloquy with Sena-
tor Aldrich, Mr. Bailey repeated mis-
| statement that the rates Of the pend
ing bill could be reduced 30 1-3 per
cent. without greatly increasing the
bulk Of importations, although In his
opinion the decrease would diminish
TO the extent Of the reduction the
price Of manufactured articles to the
american consumer.
Does the Senator think that the
American manufacturer makes n
profit Of 80 t-3 per cent" inquired
Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr.. Bailey suggested that che

with a capital of S35O,OOO,OO0, had
increased its capitalization to ST.
900, 100000 and makes about per
cent. on the larger sum.
Obviously" he said, the Steel
Corporation could reduce its profit
80 10 per cent, and still make
more than a legitimate profit upon a
fair valuation Of its property"
Could They Make the Profit.
MT Aldrich suggested that the
United states steel Corporation pro-
duces only from 45 TO 30 per cent.
of the steel output, and asked
whether the Senator from Texas be
ieved the other corporations could
make profit If the prices were ca

BAILEY SPEAKS ON THE
INCOME TAX AND TARIFF
Is Opposed to Placing Tari Question Over to Com
mission-Not Prejudice Against the Rich, But
Against the Way Some Secured Their Riches

Washington, April 27.-Senator
BAILEY, of Texas yesterday spoke OIL
the tariff bill with special reference
to the desirability OF an amend
ment providing for an income tax.
Opposed to Commission.
Mr.. Bailey first took up the pro-
position to turn over to a tariff COM
mission the consideration OF the
schedules of the tariff bill, comment
ing on which he declared that he
id not believe in turning over to
political lunches the consideration

the size and equipment OF their
Gutomobi es and the size and equip
ment OF their yachts and by other
extravagalceS they flaunt In the
faces OF the American consumers, I
say yes" replied Mr.. Bailey. They
might not be able to go to Europe
every summer and might find 81
necessary TO reduce their expendi-
lures but the American people would
be better off for that"
Does the Senator think the aver
age industries maze profit OF more
than 80 1-3 per cent. annually and
regularly?" inquired Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr.. Bailey explained that 33 1-3
per cent. reduction in the rates Of
duty would not be equiva' ent to a
80 1-3 reduction in profit.
Mr.. Bailey said that NO System
of taxation ever devised has been
so just, so equal and so proper as
an income tax"
How did the Senator arrive a.
the income of $4,000 as the proper
one to taxi" asked Mr.. Aldrlch, IN
stead of $4,000 or $4,000 or ST.
O0O?"
MIR. Bailey replied that he had
Fixed that figure because he had as
sumed that incomes OF $1,000 are
spent upon living expenses so that
the recipient would be compelled
to pay another than the income
tax at the custom house on every
thing he purchased and as the one
tax had already been paid, exemp-
ton from the income tax seemed jus
tilted But more than that, he said.
he wished to levy the tax upon those
best able TO pay It.
Meets The Challenge.
Being further pressed with ques-
tons by Mr.. Aldrich, the Texas Sen
ator rep fed:

say. and ] am going TO say 81. 7
fixed upon $4,000 a year as the in
come to be taxed for the reason
that ! wanted it to affect as few PEG
pie as possible, so that IT might not
provoke hostility. Is the Senator
satisded?" inquired Mr.. Bailey,
smiling upon Mr.. Aldrich, who nod
ded and smiled
In other words retorted Mr.
Aldrich, "the Senator wants to en-
act legislation with class distine-
ton in order TO get It through"

they were so impartial as to ente =
tain no aversion for what is bad. or
what is good"
The question of taxation, he said,
had always engaged the attention of
statesmen and he did not believe In
Withdrawing it from the people tn
place 1t in the hands Of a commits
sion.
He would not, he said, at thil
time discuss free trade, which he
declared, was impossible in this
country.

TAX ALL INCOMES is PLAN.
National Manufacturers Association Is
sues Statement.

National Manufacturers Association Is
sues Statement.
New York, July 20.-The board OF
directors of the National Association
of Manufacturers today issued the fol-
lowing statement addressed "To the
Congress of the United States:"
"The National Association of Manu-
facturers indorses any reasonable meas
ure to secure by tax the requisite mon
ey which, together with the tariff du-
ties, shall be sufficient to support this
government.
"We deplore the effort of dema-
gogues to segregate American citizens
and make government supporters OF
one class and charity recipients OF an
other; we'll knowing the character OF
our best grade workmen, we understand
that they do not relish attempts to
make of them recipients of any other
mans contributions.
eve therefore recommend if neces-
sary for income purposes, the enact
ment of measures providing just and
equitable tax upon all citizens. AS an
illustration, we suggest one-eighth OF
l per cent on all incomes; this would
require rs cents from the man who re-
ceives $500 a year and $l,25O from the
man who receives $1,000, 900 a year.

London, July 17.-Special dispatches
received here from Athens say that
800 persons were killed or injured by
the earthquake that occurred yesterday
in the province of Ellis, in Southern
Greece. The damage to property also
was very great. Hot water is flowing
today from many of the springs in the
stricken district, while the water IN
the rivers and brooks has turned red
dish color.
The earthquake demolished 400
houses in the village of Havari, in Ellis
province. Thirty persons lost their
lives at that point and number We're
injured. Neighboring villages suffered
greatly. All the houses of Amalalva
were rendered uninhabitable. The.
shocks were felt at Patras, Pyrgos,
Malamas and Tripoli, but outside OF
Havari only few deaths or injured
have been reported. A volcanic up
heaval is said to have occurred at the
village of Ponhioti.

Rush of Applicants for Indian Lands
Beginning to Siacken.

Spokane, WASH, July 19.-The num-
her of applications for reservation lands
Saturday was somewhat smaller than
on the preceding days, not only here,
but in Occur d'Alene, Missoula and
Kalispell. In Spokane. about $500
applications were filed; in Occur
d'Alene. $500; in Missoula, $500, and
Kalispell, 1900.
The total for three days in Spokane
and Coeur d'Alene is little over 49,
900 each. The crowds at the hotels
are easing off and it appears that many
who have come West to file are passing
through to Seattle to see the exposition
first and are planning to apply on their
way back.
At Coeur d'Alene, where serious
trouble among the notaries was threat
enipg, an agreement has been reached
whereby all will get together, Danish
competition and pool receipts.
Notaries here say that about one out
of every 10 applicants is woman, in
almost all cases from the East seeking
a home in the West. Many of the men
who apply look upon it as huge gam
BILE. The women, however, are in
earnest. Wisconsin. Minnesota, Hi
nois and Iowa are the outside states
most largely represented.
The grand total for three days of
registration is about Sc, 600.

WARSHlPS ON THAMES.
British Admiralty Attempts to Allay
Fears of People.

Fears of People.
London, July 17.-One hun'red and
forty eight British warships dropped
anchor in the Thames tonight, the ar
ray extending from the estuary at the
south end of the river to Westminster
bridge, in the h. art of London. The
object of this extended and superb dis
play of Britain's fighting power is an
anti. panic show. Uneasiness prevails
in every quarter of Britain. Anxiety
in higher circles as to the condition of
the country's defenses has caused sp-
prehension and pessimism throughout.
the body polite.
Lord Roberts says the army is
tragic Joke. Admiral Beresford says
the navy is not what it has been con-
sidered. And Germany is accused of
having aggressive designs against the
peace and liberty of the Britons. The
re suit of all this ferment is that the
country is in dangtr of "going off it's
head" The mighty armada on the
Thames is the admiralty's heroic seda-
tive.

NORMAL FURNITURE SOLD.
State Building at Weston Dismantled
to Pay Claims.

to Pay Claims.
Weston--The dormitory furniture of
the Weston normal, including furniture
of several rented cottages used by stu
dents who could not be accommodated
at the dormitories, is being shipped to
Walla Walla, where nearly all of it
was purchased by one firm OF dealers.
The shipments will aggregate two car
loads or more, and include a number OF
pianos.
The chemical and physics apparatus
was also sold, and only the desks are
left in the main building. With this
exception the states large school plant
at Weston, valued at $75, 900 or more,
hes been practically gutted and the
windows of the deserted buildings
stare stonily upon disheartened popu-
lace.
Last fall the Weston normal had an
enrolment of 240 in the normal de-
partment and of over 100 in the train
ing school. At the January session
the legislature abandoned it in the
middle of the school year, without a
dollar to carry out the contracts with
the teachers. Over 60 per cent OF the
teachers salaries were then paid by
local subscription and the senior class
was graduated.
The state board controlling all three
of the Oregon normals has since found
it necessary to dispose of as much OF
the furniture and equipment as possl-
BILE in order to meet certain claims FOL
fuel and supplies which the legislature
also left unpaid.

Vale Raises Seed Alfalfa.

Vale-Owing to the backwardness
of the spring, the alfalfa crop will be
comparatively light this year in NAL
heur county. However, the seed crop
bids fair to be exceedingly good. This
is a new feature that has been intro
duced into farming within the last two
years, and one that is gaining ground
every year. Heretofore the alfalfa
hay crop has been the major crop in
this part of Oregon, but it has been
found that the soil is better adapted to
the raising of the seed, and that it is
more profitable to cut only one early
crop and then allow the alfalfa to seed.

KEPT BLOODY OATH.
Moro Bandit, Jlkiri, Had Sworn to
Kill 100 Men.

Kill 100 Men.
Manila, July l9.-When Jikiri, the
Moro bandit chief who was killed with
all his followers in a desperate battle
with troops and constabulary near Pa
tian, on Jolo island, July 5, began his
career as an outlaw, he swore he would
kill 100 men before he died.
The record of the murders he COM
mitted is not complete, but it is stated
in a dispatch received today from Fam
boanga that the bandit probably made
good his oath, as the partial record at
hand shows he took the lives of nearly
hundred persons.
From the latest reports of the tight,
all but one of the several women in the
cave where the outlaws made their last
stand were wives of Jikiri.
But one of the women escaped. She
was the wife of one of the Jikiri fol-
lowers and accepted the safe conduct
offered by the Americans before the
assault on the cave began.
Lieutenant Joseph A. Baer, of the
Sixth cavalry. is agreed by all who saw
the fight to have been the hero OF the
battle. He was armed with Win
chester pumpgun with which he did
great execution. His timely rescue OF
Lieutenant Arthur H Wilson, who was
struggling with Jikiri and already des-
perately wounded, when Baer shot ano
killed the bandit, and his certain aim,
which brought down three other out
laws, are the talk of army circles.
Baer killed four of the eight bandits
slain.

Naval Pageant Success.

London, July 20.-London's naval
