Grand Jury After Him.


Portland, Ore, Feb. 16.-The grand
jury busted itself today to return an
indictment against Charles McDaniels
arrested near Seattle last night as the
last of the gang which attempted to
burn down the University shingle mill
in Portland nearly two years ago.
Tom Pattison and Hugh Priest are
now serving indeterminate sentences
of three to 10 years in the penitentiary
for the attempt. They were convicted
last May after bitter fight in which
the name of union labor was more than
once injected.
Glen Hoover, the Seattle attorney
who defended them, took the witness
stand and admitted that he had furnish
ed Charles MeDaniels, the states lead
ing witness, money with which to flee
to Washington beyond the jurisdiction
of the court. Hoover also said tn
McDaniels confessed it was he who set
the fire. Detectives searched VIZ.
ington for him for months. Hoover was
fined for contempt of court because he
spirited McDaniels away.
The fire followed a strike of shingle
weavers in which Pattisou, Priest and
McDaniels participated. McDaniels was
the mystery of the entire case and the
defense fastened all the blame ON
him.

Lime Treatment
i'm TnhPrcnI0Sia

In the May 2J, 1912, issue OF the
journal Of the American Medical As
ISOLATION appeared this statement
concerning calcium (lime) medica-
tion in the treatment Of pulmonary
Tuberculosis (cOnsumptlOn)
"Under the systematic, continued
ana persistent regime OF calcium
assimilation, Van GiesOn has seen a
number of his patients improve, un-
dergO an exudatiOn or partial con-
sOlidatiOn in the lung, which then re-
solving would appear to cor tribute
TO the wailing on and closing Of the
LESSONS. Hand in hand with this
course of events, the sputum clears
up OF tubercle bacilli. which finally
disappear. and the patients are dis
charged with healed pulmonary tu-
berculOsis."
Ethical medical journals seldom
speak so positively about a remedial
agent, yet this testimony comedies
with that from many consumptiVes
who have secured like results
through the use of Eckman's Altera-
tive.
Since calcium is constituent of
this remedy for pulmonary tubercu-
loSis and allied throat and bronchial
affections, its healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is 80
combined with other ingredients as
TO be easily assimilated by the aver
age person and 1t does not irritate
the stomach
Eckman's Alternative contains no
optates, narcotics or habit forming
drugs, so it Is safe to try. II your
druggist is out of il, ask him to
order, or send direct to

Importance in this country. The con-
sumption of hops is steadily decreasing

Conrad Krebs, who is one of the best.

estate business, and although he still
has little yard up the valley, he no
longer considers himself owner of a 400
acre ranch, as he now cultivates only a
few acres.
The elimination of Mr.. Krebs from
the hop trade removes one of the pic

WAR MAY CHANGE SYSTEMS OF TAXATION

At the beginning of the European war it is estimated
the total DEBT OF the nations now at war was IN round
numbers $2O00O0OO00O and that if the war lasts until
midsummer which it seems certain to do this debt will
amount to at least $80,0O0000000.
AS is not probable the war will end at that time
in the future is safe to say that the total debt at
the end of the will be not less than OOO00OOOOO
1t may be much more than that all depending on how
long it lasts.
The question arises as to how this tremendous sum can
be paid and Of the far attempted
give reasonable solution if indeed there is such thing.
Many think reputation alone solves it.
That there must be change in the system Of taxation
is conceded by all who have examined into the matter
This change it is pointed out is certain to take the form
of an income tax for from that source alone can the
tremendous levy be met 1t is probable that on incomes
above certain amount this tax will amount practically
to cOnfscatiOn.
One suggests that one result will be the cheapenng
of money by placing silver on an equality with gold and
at the time doubling the quantity of money while
the government retains the difference in actual value
At the same time immense quantities of paper money
would be kept in circulation
The Saturday Evening Post points out that cheap
money makes high prices and that high prices make
higher wages hence the burden of interest may be more
easily borne.
With wheat $1OO bushel takes five bushels to pay
the interest on $780, but with wheat at $167 bushe it
would require but three In other words the bond holder
would be paid three bushels of wheat instead of FIVE and
with other products the result would follow. This
is not reputation but rather what the lawyers would
call confession and avoidance" The result would be
the in the long rum only the bond holder would be
deprived OF his holdings the homeopathic plan rather
than the alOpathic.
When on top of this drastic though sugar-coated
treatment is placed inheritance tax that almost con-
scatory it will be that the outlook for the holders
of war bonds is far from cheerful.
All these taxes what is known in this country as
"war taxes so called from the fact that in times of peace
the revenues derived from the tariff and from m
tera revenues raised tobacco spiruOus liquors and
things of that kind and are in a per capita tax,
the burden falling heaviest on the poor.
In Europe this class of taxes income and inheritance
has now come to stay and that the same system will
eventually prevail in this country seems certainty.
The Capital Journal is not advocating that class of
taxation for that matter any other for they all
burdensome and steadily growing more so, but simply
pointing out what might come after the war ends.
However it is not worth while worrying over it in
advance for like death it is still ahead of us, and anyway
we can't alter or avoid whatever is coming to us
