Having won the republican nomina
ton for the United States senate BY
substantial majority, it is quite evi
dent that Albert ]. Beverage will
again represent Indiana in the United
States senate. Indiana might dc
worse Beveridge didn't do anything
particularly disgraceful while he was
in the senate some years ago, unless
kicking over the traces and refusing
to be bound by party usages and ruled
by those who had assumed leadership
might be termed disgraceful He
wasn't very old in those days and he
may have taken himself little more
seriously than the occasion warrant
ed. During the IL years since the
voters retired him from office, he has
held his following and gained new
friends by his sensible stand on most
public questions, and he is now be-
fore the public for election, wiser
Bever1dge and more popular than
ever before. He is a Studious man
and is given credit with being an hon
est and sincere man, and should make
a useful representative in the United
States senate.

Some two weeks ago the owners of
the Clearwater Republican, at Oro-
fino, purchased the plant and good
will of the Orofino Tribune, CONSOLE
dating the two plants. Last week the
Clearwater Tribune" the outgrowth
of the Clearwater Republican and the
Orofino Tribune, made its appearance
as an all home print paper, and an
nounced it's policy, which is one of
boosting for Clearwater county and
for Orofino. The paper will rot be
the tool of political party or political
faction, it announces, but will carry
political propaganda at advertising
rates. After having had two strug-
Cling newspapers on it's hands for
many years, the people of Orofino
should experience sense of relief at
the new arrangement. The Clear
water Tribune is already a marked
improvement over either of the pap
ers that Orofino has been getting.

lation destined to bring down taxes.
1t is lengthy program and it is prob
able that part of it is meritorious-
One suggestion which is entirely logi-
cal is that no new sources Of revenue
be created until the cost of govern

basis. Providing more revenue simp-

being reduced When money is avail
able for public purposes, it is a GER
tainty that it is going to be spent
