Thrt Month! 10.80 THURSDAY, JUKE 22, 1922 BEND'S INTEREST To understand tho bearing In Cen tral Oregon of tho recent supremo court decision holding Illegal tho con trol of tho Central rnclflc by tho Southern Pnclflc, It Is necessary to go back to tho years preceding 1913, when E. II. Hnrrirann controlled tho Union Pacific and through It, tho Southern Pacific. At that time, as related by Mr. Morrow beforo tho Bend Commercial club, Ilarrlman having unified control, planned tho connection from Klamath Palls to Eugeno by way ot Odell and tbo Natron cut-off In order to avoid tho heavy Siskiyou grades on tho main line. At tho same, tlmo a line was to bo built from Ontario west to a connection nt Odell. The Deschutes line was built from tho Columbia to Bend. Had not the supremo court in 1913 ordered the separation ot the Union Pacific and the Southern Pa cific, tho Ilarrlman plan would have furnished an easier route between Oregon and California, a direct con nection between west ot the Cascades points and Union Pacific territory, and a better line cast from Bend by way of Odell. The dissolution order changed all this. For the Union Pacific there was no longer anything to bo gained by building to Odell from Ontario, unless tho Southern finished the Na tron cut-off and that construction, carrying with It the possibility of losing some of the Oregon traffic thatj the Southern was routing over its own line (the Sunset route) was abandoned. Now again the supreme court has acted and the railroad kal eidoscope presents a new picture. Mr. Morrow yesterday said that If the latest order were not changed and it the Union Pacific were allowed to buy the Central or if It were left as an independent line, the Natron cut-off would be built by way of Odell to Kirk, thence running Into Kla math Falls. Now the question arises, the question ot real interest to Bend, what under such circumstances would be the route of the eastern connection from Odell? Would it be directly east to Crane (the western terminus of the road from Ontario) as originally planned, or would the line be built from Odell to Bend and then east? Clearly, if the Southern Is allowed j to retain the Central Pacific, there will be no eastern line out of Odell, but a line might be looked for east from Bend. In its own self-interest Bend might be satisfied to see the court order modified, as desired by the Southern, as more likely to bring the desired result ot a direct lino cast to Crane. ' Against this, on the other hand, are to be weighed the possibilities of construction of a direct lino from Bend Instead of from Odell in case the order is not changed. When tho first plan was made, Bend as a ship ping point was unknown. Now it Is a big shipper and will be bigger for a good many years. Construction from Bend to Crane will be easier than from Odell. This northern line will give a moro direct Portland con-. nection from the east and avoid the heavy Blue mountain grades. The southern line would be more direct Sot valley points, which will also bo heavy shippers. Undoubtedly there aro other reasons which will be weighed for and against by" the rail troad authorities, but if anything can be done here to Insure the building of the line from Bend it should be done. In the meantime every effort should bo made to keep the public service commission from acting on its own initiative in a matter oh which It has no knowledge ot the opinion of the peoplo of tho state. HIGH INCOME SUIt TAXES There has como to our desk, Jhe 'reprint of an address mado beforo the national foreign trado council by Jj. C. Alnsworth, of tho United States National bank, of Portland, that con tains matter of much Interest in con nection with economic questions of J he day, Tho subject assigned to Mr, Alnsworth was "The effect of tho high income surtax rates upon our jndustry and our foreign trade." Mr, Alnsworth points out in tho beginning that during tho war our Agricultural and Industrial output was increased to a point much In ex cess ot our, homo capacity for con sumption; Foreign trado Is tho only outlet for tho over-supply, but for eign trade requires a risk of capital that men ore not willing to under take when they know that a largo portion of their profits are to bo taken by the government in tho shapo of Income surtaxes. Instead, the capitalist will Invest In tax troq,so curltica issued by municipalities. Tho same sort ot thing is found In connection with tho Investment ot capital in productive enterprises nt homo. Hero again money Is slow to flow Into tho hannels ot private In dustry whero high surtaxes bring tho not result down to tho Bruno point that can bo reached by Investment In risk tree, tax treo securities. In theory, ot course, tho high sur taxes aro tutonded to roach tho big Incomes ot tho rich and thereby mako them pay In proportion to their means. That no such result Is reached In practlco Is shown by tho example, cited by Mr. Alnsworthr ot tho cstato of the late Jacob H. Schlff. Mr. Schlff left $35,000,000, but tho amount watf so placed In tax free securities that tho net taxable Income worked out at-scarcely 1W per cent per year. Mr. Ainsworth's suggestion tor do tng away with the unfortunate con' dltlon outlined above Is tho removal ot the tax exemption feature ot mu nlcipal securities and tor general rev cnuo purposes the Imposition ot a sales tax such as President Harding urges for tho payment ot tho pro posed soldier bonus.' Ho concludes with n suggestion ns to the tariff, Wo cannot, he points out, expect to sell goods abroad unless foreign countries can pay for them and they can pay only by sending us gold or goods. Our tariff should not bo so high that the goods cannot be sold here. If It Is made unduly high the economic rehabilitation ot tho world Is merely postponed. STANDARDIZATION For some tlmo a movement has been going on In various industries for the standardization ot their prod uct, which when completed will mean a great deal In tho way ot higher ef ficiency, lower costs and reduced prices. Sinco he became a member ot President Harding's cabinet, Her bert Hoovor has given the movement the benefit of his interest and study and under his leadership It has pro gressed materially. Again he Is do ing a big thing. With competition as keen as It is In the United Stntcs, It Is natural enough that manufacturers should develop varieties of their product that were different in one way or another from the general run, hoping that buyers would be attracted there by. Every sort ot custom and Idlo syncracy has been catered to, result ing in a multiplicity of production waste and high cost. The effort now Is to do away with this sort of thing, Printers and paper manufacturers began working on the idea several years ago, with the result that cer tain standard sizes wero agreed upon for catalogs and booklets which per mitted the use without waste . of standard sizes of book and cover pa per. We heard a mall say recently that the standardization ot freight cars would save the railroads J-iO, 000,000 annually. Last month tho presidents of the national lumber as sociations met with Mr. Hoover to discuss, among other things, tho standardization ot lumber sizes Other Industries are working on the problem. It Is a movement of the greatest value and importance to the people of the United States. BARNUM WAS RIGHT (Corvallis Gazette Times) The Ventura chapter of tho Ku Klux Klan ot California has dissolved and surrendered its charter. It has also sent an appeal to all other chap ters in the United States to do tho came. The courts duly established by the constitution of tho United States have served to mete out justice. for over a hundred years. They have served tolerably well, at least as well as a mob of masked men acting with out law or precedent, Thero may have been some occasion for Vigilan tes In California in the days of '49, but as soon as courts were properly established they promptly disbanded. The Ventura Klan may not bo able.to salvage its knight shirts for enough to pay Its fees for the privilege of wearing them, but tbey havo had u valuable experience and done much to provo the. contention of Mr. Bar num. By a decisive vote tho people' have refused to recall Mrs. Richards as a member of the school board. Since the recall was attempted as a test, of public opinion as to the administra tion of school affairs during tho past year it may fairly bo safd that tho public Is satisfied that tho board has dono its duty. Wo aro now at tho beginning of a new school year. Al most a full new board Is In charge. A new superintendent has bcon em ployed. In tho Interests of tho school children of tho district wo sincerely hopo that tho old fouds will now ho forgotten and that the affairs tof tho district will proceed hereafter in peaco.
