HORSE EDITOR
is A HEAVY
TAXPAYER
HE SCINTHLATES A FEW
THOUGHTS AND ASKS A FEW
QUESTIONS, AND If NOT COR
RECT, CONFESSES HE is FROM
MISSOURI.

The horse editor is disposed to diff
fer from the lawmakers generally in
their construction of the meaning of
the word taxpayer" The horse edi-
tor doesn't own much of anything
outside of cheap suit of clothes and
a lead pencil, but he considers him
self a taxpayer.
Let us see If his claims are just:
He lives in Salem and rents a small
residence building. The owner Of
the building is assessed for 1t. He
values it at so much and rents 1t at
price to bring interest on the
money over and above insurance,
taxes and wear and tear. Who pays
the taxes on that building if the horse
editor does not?
The horse editor also pays $50 a
year for the privilege of riding on
the water wagon The water COM
pany. in fixing its charges, collects
to pay in addition to interest and
betterments. its taxes Does not the
horse editor pay his portion of the
water company's taxes? He rides on
the street cars-sometimes part of
the wqv home: sometimes all the
way If he is not in a hurry, and to
the evtent of the monev he pays for
this rare and somewhat seldom priv
ilege, he paws that companys taxes,
He ratronizes the stores in a small
way. Now every business man must
necessarily include in his expense
account his rent. insurance and
taxes, and he must sell his goods at
profit enough to not only give him
returns on his money, but to pay
rent and taxes or else 90 broke.
Does not the horse editor to the ex-
tent that he purchases goods. pay his
portion of the business mans taxes?
In other words does anyone nay
anv tax except the consumer. the
ultimate user Of the goods, whatever
thev may he? Is there such q thing
as p "hig taxnaver?" True big cor
porations, or firms or wealthy DeoDle

Washington, JUNE 15.-Speaking
to his resolution directing the depart

prosecution against the personal de-
PENDANTS in the Standard Oil and to-
bacCo trust cases, Senator Pomerene
Democrat, Ohio,) in the senate to-

attorney-general for failure to bring
such prosecution on his own initia-

"Rockefeller's pathway" he said,
"is marked by more victims whose
business careers have been ruined

OF PLANS FOR
