The appointment of George
Frederick Williams as Minister
TO Greece upon Bryan's recon-
mendation has caused much
speculation by the partisan press
as 10 the Presidents feelings in
the appointment of a man whose
opinion of the President in the
past has not been the most
ilattering. President Wilson,
however. has shown himself
broad enough to do good to his
enemies and return good for evil.
A little thing like that will not
bother the President. nor ruflile
his feelings. II the truth were
known, the chances are that the
President favored the appoint
ment. He is great enough for
such an action.

Under the new law regulating
taxation in Multnomah county
we understand there will be
some rather radical changes.
Instead of a three per cent dis
count for payment in full before
April list. there will be no dis.
count. If half of the taxes are
paid before that date, one per
cent penalty per month will ac-
crue 10 the balance remaining un-
paid until October, After that
date a further penalty of fifteen
per cent will be added. The
new law will probably add 81 600
10 the general fund of the city,
and almost as much TO the school
district. which have heretofore
been lost through discounts,
Provisions should have been
made for sending out statements
10 all taxpayers. SO that they
might know the amount of their
Indebtedness without having 10
make a personal call or write for
such statement from the county
treasurer's office.

Good bye is a hard word to
speak. Some may laugh that il
should be, but let them. ley
hearts are never kind. II is a
word that choked many an ut
teranee. and started many a tear.
The hand is clasped. the word is
spoken, we part, and are out ON
the ocean of time we go To
meet again, where? God only
knows. II may be soon, it may
be never. Take care that your
good bye be not a cold melt
may be the last one you can
give. Ere you meet again deaths
cold hand may have closed his
eyes and chained his lips for
ever, All! he may have died
thinking you loved him not.
Again il may be a long separa-
tion. Friends crowd on and
give you their hands. How do
you detect i'm each good bye the
love that fingers there; and how
may you bear with you the
memory of these parting words
many days? We must separate.
Tear not yourself away with a
careless boldness that defes al
love. but make your words linz
ger give your heart full utter
ance-and if tears fall. what of
il? Tears are not unmanly.

Portland is making a strong
bid for the establishment of a
regional or central bank in that
city. Portland should have it,
and is entitled to il above any
other city in the Northwest.
Seattle seems TO be assured that

FOLLOWING ADVICE

IN every community there one or
more successful men along the agri-
cultural lines. And when man
thinks of putting in a new crop he
list goes to the best source of infor-
nation and burns up an hour or two
OF the successful mans time. And
most of the successful farmers are
good about giving advice. Success
warns a mans heart. and he likes to
see others do well. But what of the
man who receives the advice? Only in
very few cases does he take the
advice. He listens well, he shakes
his head well and he receives sever
al CLEANS of light, but in very few
instances does he follow the advice.
He goes out with the feeling that
after all he probably knows more
than the other fellow and follows
his own advice. He may hit il
and he may be all wrong. This is
true OF most all men.

NEW WRINKLES IN
GOVERNMENT COSTLY

PHOENIX, June 1O.-''No taxation
of aeroplane factories" has been sug-
gested as the slogan of the campaign
to repeal by referendum vote of the
people, the absurd new license ordin-
ance adopted by the city commits
sion.
If the ordinance goes into effect it
will cost money to breathe in Phoe-
nix. 1t imposes a vocational tax on
practically every kind of human en-
deavor Washwomen, dressmakers,
bOilermakers, BARRIERS, blacksmiths
and bootblacks are not overlooked.
That the ordinance is to be refer
red to the voters is now a certainty.
1t appears to be almost a certainty
that it will be repealed
The people did not understand it's
full purport till it was first publish
ed in the city official paper When
they did understand it there was
talk of recalling the entire COM
mission. 1t is not believed, however,
that any recall movement will be
started

SUED FOR MILLIONS

In the name of the Development
Company of America, Frank M Muir
ply OF Prescott, Ariz., has begun all
action for SIS. 100000 against the
Southern Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Murphy who for the time be
ing is living in the Biltmore Hotel
New York, has outlined the reasons
for his suit against the railroad, as
serting that it had been caused
through R. LoVett, who was pres
ident Of the Southern Pacific in
1910, refusing to keep an agreement
to put up 100000 in cash i'm the
hands of Mr.. Murphy as an option on
the purchase of the control of the
defendant company. Mr.. Murphy
said that Mr.. Lovett denied him the
money after he had received the
promise of it,
Through the refusal of Mr.. Lovett
to let Mr.. Murphy have the necessary
amount one of the subsidiary com
panles was thrown into bankruptcy
and great financial difficulties fol.
lowed in other subsidiary concerns.

be benefited to the extent of millions
of dollars was the United States to
take Northern Mexico and thrash out

extended over their great land hold
ings so that the waters of the Colora-
do river would have to be diverted to
these vast tracts, and the consequent
enrichment of the owners. The

are immense and it is no wonder that
these worthless are attacking the ad-

the country into a war that would
benefit them and their friends many
hundreds of millions of dollars.

one to feel badly, and you know how
girls can act when they want a mans
