Democratic Bills to That End W.Il Not
Be Defeated in lhe Senaie
COALITION is FORMED
Or Being Formed Between the DEM
ocrsts and the Progressive Repub-
licans to Revise the Wool, Cotton
and Steel Schedule at the Present
Session of Congress.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Atlanta Constitution says Demo-
cratic tariff legislation will not be
doomed to defeat in the upper branch
Of congress at this session, as has
been generally feared.
A coalition between Democrats an6
progressive Republicans in The senateA
is rapidly taking shape, and will
result in the passage of bills for
the revision Of the woolen, cotton
and the iron and steel schedules.
This news became known here
and as the occasion for jubilation. {
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin3
is taking the lead in these negotiG-
tions, and eleven progressives have
agreed to cooperate with the%5em-
ocrats in the end of securing tariff
reductions. So the work Of a Nongs
hard summer will not ne fruitless.
The administration counts. upon
enough votes to force through Cam
adian reciprocity, with the Root
amendment to the wood pulp and
print paper provision eliminated.
This will be done by the votes OF
Democrats and regular Republicans.
When it comes to the adoption Of
the free list, the progressive Repub-
Elicans will insist upon several amend
ments, but If an agreement can be
reached ON these, the bill will be sup
ported as an amendment to the Cam
adian reciprocity pact.
Eleven of the thirteen progressiges
have reached the conclusion that It
would be the part Of discretion to aid
IN passing tariff bills whirh will effect
reduction in existing scedules.
The Underwood bill for the revis-
ion OF the wooden schedule is, in the
main, satisfactory to them. But they
will insist that the cotton schedule De
revised also. @ %at.'. l.1aet
Then here is strong feeling upon
the part Of the progressives that the
duties on steel and iron schedule
should be materially cut. They are
framing up the program Of their own
and wish to know the extent of the
revision that is contemplated before
committing themselves to support any
single sshedule.
There are now Al Democrats In the
senate, 81 regular Republicans, and
13 who are on occasions insurgents
to measures and policies proposed by
the regulars. This was the number
that demanded recognition from the
committee on committees as sepa-
rate organization in the Republican
ranks. -
AS majority of the senate is46, it
only requires five Of the progressives
to vote with the Democrats to con-
troll that body. eleven prorressives
vote with the Democrats there will be
six more than a majority Of the SEN
ate: But it is probable that the two

Senator pomerene Wants tbe Officers Of
the trusts Prosecuted
THAT WOULD STOP TEEN
Whether the Stars and Stripes Or
the on Barrel and the T.bacco
Tag is the Emblem of Their
Power.

In a prepared speech in the senate
Thursday Senator Pomerene, of Ohio,
called upon the attorney general to
undertake criminal prosecution of
the officers of Standard Oil and Amer
can Tobacco companies under the re-
cent decision, Of the supreme court of
the United States in the case OF the
two corporations.
He did not ask for action on his
resolution instructing the attorney
general to begin the suits giving way
to Senator Nelson, who desired t.
speak on Canadian reciprocity, but
he will press for vote on it in the
immediate future.
Taking up cudgels o.. behalf Of
Attorney General Wickersham, whom
Mr.. Pomerene had criticised, Sena-
tor Kenyon declared that the present
head Of the department of jusice had
chleved more results in his prosecu-
tion OF trusts than any Of his prede-
cessors He said Mr.. Wickersham
did not require instructions from
congress to do his duty.
Senator Nelson created diversion
when, applauding Mr. .Wickersham's s
work, he declared that the present
governor of Ohio, Judson Harmon,
when attorney general In President
Clevelend's cabinet, had said the
Sherman antitrust law was dead
letter. Both Senators Pomerece and
Hitchcock were Immediately ca their
feet to reply.
'"That is mere imagination" said
the Nebraska senator. "Mr. Harmon
was the official who first brought any
life into the Dw:" rs
In his speech Senator Pomerene
declared that the Sherman antitrust
law. was specific in its authority to
press SUCH "a suit against consplrators
who restrain trade and, further
that. the Interpretation of the statute
by the supreme court of the United
!, States was clear. a a
with these plain findings OF fact
and-conc1usions by the court that this
statute has been violated, what rea-
son can be given by any sworn court
official FOR not continuing his fight
against them in order to bring them
to the bar of justice?" asked Sena-
tor Pomerene. He added: IA decent
sense of self-respect REQUIRES the
government either to enforce this law
or to repeal it,
The Ohio senator declared that the
ruling of the supreme court must be
followed up quickly in the most Wig
orous fashion cor the fruits Of these
victories will be lost to the govern
ment and to the people"
The senator declared that by his
resolution it is proposed to declare
to the department Of Justice in no un-
certain way that the congress which
made him and clothed him with
power is cognizant of the fact that
the law has Teen violated; that the
court has so declared; that for 21
years no respect has been paid by
those defendants to the provisions OF
Judgment OF congress he ought to
begin those criminal prosecutions and
the resolution ipstructs him to do SO
in order that the majesty of the law
may be preserved"

MAKE WAY FOR THE SINGLE TAX.

Mr. Fes Philadelphia Hebrew, spending thousand dol
lars day to establish the Single Land Tax.
Quite lot Of this money is being spent in Oregon
Copies of the Single Tax Review, magazine published at
vancouver B. G., are being sent to Oregon citizens
Vancouver the only single tax city in the world and used
as an argument for the land tax system.
1t seems at Vancouver onehf the improvements was
at first exempted from assessment then hreefourhs and final
y the entire value of improvements
But Vancouver collects onehd of the total revenue from
tax on incomes and onethird from license taxes
So that Vancouver still far from collecting all revenues
from land tax
The land tax is twenty -four mills.
If Oregon had income tax system would be easier to ex
empt taxes all but lands
Oregon derives about onehrd state and city taxes from H.
censes and tax on corporations.
The campaign for the single tax Oregon and the in
dcation are that with plenty of campaign funds the nnova
tion will be made.
On the face of the matter does not look the farmers
would get much benefit out of the single tax on land
II all improvements exempted the account would show
the exemptions for city property about four times as
large as the farmers.
According to the figures from the tax board tabe
lands are assessed at $24S93000 and improvements thereon
at $20764000, about ten per cent.
City and town lots assessed in Oregon at $19954400O
and improvements thereon $5665O0 about SS per cent
exemptions under the single tax.
These matters will all in the debates and there may
be better arguments for the single land tax than there are
against it.
We have not given the matter the time attention de-
serves, but hope to do so in the future

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY Common Garden Sage, a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
in vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
70, while our mothers have white
hair before they are so. Our grand
mothers used to make sage tea"
and applied it to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy, and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble Of max
ing it, especially as it had to be made
every two or three days, on account
of souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking al
most any first-class druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy the public can get a superior
preparation of sage, with the ad-
mixture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles.
Daily use of this preparation will not
only quickly restore the color of the
hair, but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow.
Get a bottle from your druggist
today. Use it and see for yourself
how quickly dandruff goes, and gray
hairs vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at so cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

Some of the state officials premature in saying there
is no state available for the Oregon City locks.

just as they fought the original bill when introduced

The action of the Oregon City Commercial Club in demand
ing that the locks be built the east side of the river is not
easily understood
1t is certain that would involve the locks proposition in t
cation covering the federal courts and would cost mil
lions for right of way.
The cry is that the state should not buy the present old locks
and canal because they anequated and broken down.
But that is not good argument for the state and federal gov
ernmen could rebuild the locks canal and make them fit to
