WILSON As A THEoRIsr.

An esteemed Philadelphia contem-
cent. refers to him as being "hedged
around y theories to an extent hith-
erto unknown in the nations chief
executive"
I think this statement Is true To
me it appears an admirable state oil
mind. q good fortune for the country;

men" and more editors deride the
president as a theorist ana school
master" What is a theory? Web
ster defines il as IAN exposition of the
abstract principles of science or art
considered apart from practice; hy-
pothesis; philosophical explanation Of
moral or physical phenomena
The suggestion adverse to the
president amounts to this: that he is
thinker. political philosopher, a
student of principles not precipitate
or headstrong; in the best sense Of
the word careful man who would
foresee the end from the beginning;
would provide against mistakes;
would look before he leaps.
AT Buffalo last year the presidents
attention was attracted toward in

Washington. In the course of his
comments he said: "I have a keen
scent for a principle" II l under

Principles are eternal, unchanging.

those of God If our laws conflict
with His the people will suffer" The
Psalmist expressed the same thought:
Except the Lord build the house,
they labor in vain that build It,"
A theorist is one who thinks
ahead" The theorist may err: the
thoughtless must. What would we
think of a business man who was
not a theorist? A tailor makes n

theory. The architect makes a plan

strongly.

with perfect impartiality. 1t will not
be class legislation anymore than the
household goods exemption law is
class legislation.
The reason the proposed exemption
law is a good thing is that II is a step
away from the tax on personal prop
erty and towards taxing the sources
Of wealth. One Of the chief objections
to the personal property tax is that
II is a farce. The man with money
lodges his tax as is shown by the fact
Cmatilla county's assessment roll
shows only 100000 money taxable
whereas the bank deposits exceed 81.

Now II the man Of large means IS
going TO be thus exempt on a great
measure Of his personal tax WHY
should not all men be given a certain
exemption. Why not play fair BY
making an outright exemption 0,
$500. II should be a reasonable pro
position but it is not class Legislation
for that exemption viii be applicabl,

The only people who need worr,
about the $500 exemption are tn
owners Of large tracts Of idle land
such as timber, the owners Of vacan
lots, and spectators.

Christmas Turks

Several hundred turkeys have
been sent TO market this week from
Monterey, and from the county,
several thousand, no doubt. 1t is
understood that the Thanksgiving
market proved fairly good, and 1t
is to be hored that shippers will
lose no money on their Christmas
offerings.
Rural merchants have learned by
sad experience the uncertainty oil
poultry deals this far from city
markets. A wider distribution OF
gains and losses, however, has
lightened the risk to some extent
the country stores and cash buyers
sharing results with the village
merchants who formerly bought
most of the poultry of the county.
The national bird cuts no small
figure in the Industrial and COM
mercial life of the county, the an
nual returns running close to $780,
600. and the fund is widely distri-
buted. One farmer is known to
marketed 90 as fine turks as could
be desired by the most exacting
epicure.

Presiding Elder, Fl. A. Brown,
preached to small congregation
here on Tuesday night. 1t was
his 4th and last round for tie pres
ent conference year, and the elder
took occasion to refer to the fact
that the present pastor, Rev. l.. l..
Lowance, would leave the work in
March by virtue of the four year
tenure. He remin led his congre-
CATION that the charge had it in its
power to materially aid the presid-
in gelderin securing a desirable man
to succeed Mr.. Lowance; that the
financial features of the annual re-
port had much weight in the bish-
ops council. All of which is taken
by laymen to mean that a salary
paid in full is not only due an out
going pastor, but has great bearing
in the selection Of a new one.
When there is anything in the
shape of rare winter weather to be
dished out, Highland is never for
gotten. Her altitude is famous for
extremes, and her temperature and
snowfall very frequently leads the
state in a general disturbance.

fell last Sunday, and reached
depth of 10 inches. There was no
drifting to interfere with travel
md all roads were soon broken
and ready for any kind of vehicle.
The mercury went down. about
as low as Highland usually regis
