Golden PotIatch '97

When a replica Of the old steamship
Portland steams into Seattle harbor on
July II next, The Golden Potlatch
81 will be on. This ceremony will
commemorate the arrival of the first
boatload of gold from the North, four
teen years ago. For a whole week
thereafter, entertainments will be in
order. Seattle is going to lay off and
celebrate the various things for which
the Puget Sound country has to be
thankful. A mammoth procession and
band contests are to be arranged for
the outside towns to participate in.
Visitors won't have an idle moment, as
the program now in course Of framing
will see to it that there is something
going on every minute.

Community Advertising

G. Johnson, chairman of the Promo
ton Committee Of Portland CONNER
cial Club, gave a talk before the North
Yakima Ad Club recently that was full
of good suggestions. In my opin-
ion," said he "the keynote Of success
full community advertising is sincerity
and truth. Nothing can be more dam
aging than reinstatement, for COM
munities get regulations just as do
individuals. There is enough oppor-
tunity in the Northwest without its be-
ing over-stated, but it is dependent, as
everywhere else, on good supply OF
grit and hard work, and it is upon this
ground that believe all our advertising
should be based"

How to Have Income Tax

1t seems quite certain at this writing
that the proposed Constitutional amend
ment authorizing the Federal Cover
ment to levy an income tax will fail,
says the Saturday Evening Post. Ten
states have rejected it. The negative
of twelve will be fatal. This merely
confirms the long-established opinion
that to amend the Constitution is a
matter Of frst-rate importance and nearly
impossible. That intelligent and gen
orally open-minded man, Governor
Hughes, discovered in this simple pro-
posal deadly threat to. the palladium
of our liberties shows what aocks of OBJ
structive crotchets arise when anybody
proposes to touch the Constitution.
However, the Supreme Court the
other day, upheld the Federal corpora
ton tax. Obviously this tax, so far as
it goes is an income tax, being calcu-
lated and levied upon the net incomes
of corporations. Under the astute
guidance of President Taft, however,
Congress called it an excise. taxa tax
that is, upon the privilege of doing
business in corporate form, although
that privilege does not at all emanate
from the Federal Government. This
legal distinction completely satisfied the
Supreme Court, and all business that is
carried on under corporate form now
pays a duly Constitutional income tax
to the Federal Government. 1t is toler-
ably clear that the court nowadays will
not balk fiscal plan of the Government
if it can avoid it. We suppose if the
time comes when the Government really
needs an income tax it will be able to
have one only by calling it an excise
tax. Citizens of every occupation
beginning with abbots and acrobats,
and endingrwith' xylophone players and
zebra trainers pay to the incomes
for the privilege of carrying on their
respective businesses. This arrangement
seems excessively awkward; but in the
conflict between changing tconditions
and an Interchangeable Constitution awk-
wardness must be expected.

Two Dividends Compared

In March 1910, the New York Cen
trail raised its dividend from five to six
per cent, although important increases
in wages were then pending. The
matter of a wholesale increase in wages
in freight rates was also pending. The
CentraPs president was quoted as say
ing that only by such an increase in the
rates could the roads save themselves
from grave financial embarrassment.
The increase in rates, however, was
forbidden by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and the Central quite
promptly reduced its dividend to the
former level of five per cent. 1t was
given out officially that this reduction
was caused by commissions decision
rather as though it were little fore
taste of that embarrassment that Presi-
dent Brown had predicted. Concern
ing which the New York Evening Post
makes the following observation:
''On the same day the New York
Central reduced its dividend the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern declared
its regular semiannual of six per cent
and six per cent extra, making the US
usual eighteen per cent year. The
Lake Shore and the New York Central
received the same freight rates; but
then Lake Shore has never declared
acknowledgement stock dividends
and invested all of its resources in other
companies"
Two days later, the Pittsburgh and
Lake Erie Railroad declared an extra
cash dividend OF twenty five per cent.

Commission Form of Government

Hoquiam proposes to try the COM
mission form Of city government. Peti-
tions are being circulated by the
Twenty-Five Thousand Club and it is
believed enough signatures will be
secured to call special election. The
present government by city council has
been declared unsatisfactory and the
change, il is believed, will work a big
improvement.

day they were startled by a lavish dis

tety until q week later. when another
display appeared bearing the words,

informed that "he" was a mysterious
wond% who would that night appear
at the town hall and perform feats Of
magic and mystery such as had never
been previously witnessed. This was a
treat indeed for the inhabitants. and
on the night advertised the hall was
filled TO its utmost capacity. The anx-
ious moment arrived. and up went the
curtain. But. TO the surprise of the

!: AN ALMANAC OF
YE OLDEN Time

UNFORTUNATELY for our fore
fathers, the almanacs had some
- claims to literary merits in
their day. Reading matter
was scarce outside OF the larger towns
or the colonies. Magazines were prac
tically unknown. Filled with prog
nosticarions as to the weather. with

and essay. the annual almanac cecame

ence. The wise saws and quaint say
ings which ran through its pages were
read over time and again by every
member or the family.
Ihere were numerous almanacs pub
hshed during colonial days In this
country. The popularity of Poor Rich
ards Almanac, edited by BENJAMIN
FRANKLIN. went hand in hand with that
Of its illustrious maker.
The first Ames Almanac, issued In
l'26, was conventional in form and
closely followed other almauacs Of
the period. Its maker was a pbvsj.
clan. 1t contained a table of the
movements Of the planets and sundry
prophecies concerning the weather.
That the doctor was afraid of severe
criticism Of this first effort Is indicat-
ed by the following stanza. which also
illustrates the style of his poetry:
Read then. and learn. but don't all faults
object.
Since they can only Judge that can cor
rect.
To whom my works appeal and II find
The sons Of art to favor them incIin'd.
With their propitious smiles IL shall SUI

An examination OF the files Of the

every conceivable subject was discuss

years of publication. Sometimes he
