 The last days of Baron Albert were full of pathos. He refused to see anyone save the physician attending him and his nurse. Naturally taciturn man, he be- came even more so. He lost conscious ness last evening and failed to rally. There are four sons and daughter left to share in the famous wealth of the Austrian Rothschilds.

The Postoffice The Popular Magazines And the People

A provision has been added to the postoffice appropriation bill by the Senate postoffice committee without proper notice or public hearing. It provides for an unjust, discriminatory and confiscatory tax on the popular magazines. By attaching this provision to the postoffice appropriation bill at the eleventh hour all opportunity for open discussion and consideration by the people, the publishers and the Senate was cut off. It was an un.American, star chamber pro- ceeding, accomplished under presi- dential and political coercion. If this bill is passed, with the pro- vision which practically exempts from taxation magazines which have not spoken boldly on public questions, many of the popular periodicals will be put out of busi- ness altogether and the others, without exception, will be seriously crippled. Even if it were possible for the magazines to continue in business under these new condi- tions, the people would derive no benefit from the measure, for until the postoffice department is taken out of politics and business-ike management installed, it is inn probable that any additional reve- nue collected will be used econom- ically. We urge every friend of honest politics, economical gov- ernment and a free press to telegraph or write an immed- fate protest to their senators and representatives.

Notice is hereby given that the

against all the contesting parties af-
ter the death of Caroline Phillips and
without substitution, but the decree
is an entirety. If the proposed will
is void, 1t Is entirely void. 1t cannot
be valid as to Caroline Phillips and
void as to the other contestants. The
probate court cannot permit admin
istration on it as to her and refuse
to permit administration as to the
other contestants. Its only course is
to refuse to have anything to do with
1t. Any one of the contestants might
have apepaled this suit and a victory
for him would have resulted in re-
versal of the decree of the court be-
low, declaring the will a valid in
strument, and when that decree is
obtained the judgment for costs will
fall with it.
The decree of the circuit court is
reversed and the contestants who
have appealed will have decree in
their favor for the costs in this court
and the circuit court.
Mr.. Justice Bean took no part in
this decision.

DUN|WAY
IS BIDDING
FOR RECALL
SECRETARY OLCOTT TELLS HIM
FRANKLY THE STATE WILL
NOT PROVIDE ROOM FOR HIS
PLANT, NOR PAY FOR MOVING
1T FOR HIM.

Secretary of State Olcott yester-
day afternoon addressed a commu-
nication to State Printer Duniway, in
reply to one from the state printer,
asking him IL there was any appro-
priation for moving the printing plant
in the event that he should comply
with the secretary's desire to vacate
the building, and als1 asking him as
to what quarters he would assign him
for the plant.
The secretary In part says:
There is no appropriation avail
able from which any expense of NOV
ing the state printers Office could be
paid, and am sure that, upon refiec-
ton, you will conclude that such ex-
pense would not be in any event a
legitimate charge against the state
OF Oregon. The printing plant al
ways has been, and Is now, private
property, and its occupancy of the
state capitol building has been only
a courtesy extended the state printer.
For this reason, the expense of NOV
ing said plant from the capitol build
ing and installing it elsewhere can
not be provided for by the state.
Until the space now occupied by
your Offices and your plant is vacated
and placed at my disposal and re-
assignments made therein to relieve
the congestion now obtaining, there
by allowing for re-arrangement of
space in the building, I am natural
ly unable to definitely state what Of
fees could be assigned to the state
printer for office use only but every
effort will be made to afford such
Office room as will comport with all
reasonable requirements for the Office
use of the state printer, and as may
be permitted upon the reassignment
of space when the other departments
of the state are housed and read
justed
you will, of course, please under
stand that present conditions prevent
me from any reassignments of space
which would accommodate the equip
ment of the printing plant which you
operate as state printer"

SUGGESTS
A CHANGE IN
The LAW

II believe" said Governor West
yesterday afternoon, in discussing the
criticisms being made against the
present referendum law that if the
law was so amended that the petit
titions, instead of being circulated,
were left with the county clerks of
the several counties of tlIe state, and
the voters permitted to go there and
sign hem of their own volition, and
the law so further amended that none
but registered voters could sign the
petitions that most of the objections
made to the law would be removed.
"One of the main criticisms made
against the law now" continued the
governor ''is that when the petitions
are circulated the circulators will en-
deavor to persuade any and everyone
to sign it, and that often 1t Is signed
by people who have given the meas
ure proposed to be referred no con-
sideration, and who are not interest
ed In 1t one way or the other. An
other objection is that any one is al
lowed to sign it whether registered
or not
Problem Can Be Solved.
II believe that were the petitions
placed in the hands of the county
clerk instead of circulators that the
first objection would be done away
with. Any one desiring to sign 1t
then would have to go before the
county clerk, and any one interested
in invoking the referendum on the
measure in question would be willing
to do so. If the law, in addition to
that, was so amended that none but
registered voters could sign the petit
tion the clerk would be able to guard
against anyone else signing it, as he
is the custodian of the registry book
OF voters in the county, and glance
