THE liUSlXESS OUTLOOK
For five months there lias been talk of a slump in new busi
ness, but it would look as if the dimensions of any such recession
had been exaggerated. The loadings of freight cars for the week
ending Sept. 15, the latest for which figures are available, show
an increase of C'J, 111 cars over the corresponding week for 1920,
which was the peak year in the whole history of American pro
duction. Ketail trade has boen big through the year. Figures of
department store trade for August, for instance, show 12 per cent
increase over last year. As there has been practically no unem
ployment, this heavy buying should continue. Large purchases of
equipment by railroads and the boom in construction have in
creased business activity for the past 10 years, while business has
grown by leaps and bounds, it seems inevitable that transporta
tion interests should have to buy heavily of supplies and equip
ment for some years to come. Architects and builders generallj
feel that the coming year will provide plenty of work for skilled
men in their line. The country built relatively few dwellings and
business buildings during the war, and this shortage is not yet
made up. The enormous amount bejng spent on road construc
tion also helps keep labor employed. 'I he bad sixit in the situation
has been the position of the farmers, particularly wheat growers
iiut prices for most staples are better than three months ago, tin
value of this year's crops is well above last year, and the farming
population should have a purchasing power 1 tetter than that ol
J.9-2. The slight slackening of activity since last spring liitf
probably Ix-en a good thing, and no more than necessary to keep
prices from further inflation.
o
Federal treasury department is said to have a new plan foi
getting at securities which air exempt from the income tax. The
idea is to impose heavier taxes in inheritances which are in tlu
form of tax-exempt securities, remarks an exchange. This, it is
believed would not only increase the government's revenue but
would drive big fortunes once more into constructive enterprise.
The plan is inspired by the fact that large inheritances nowadayi
are usually found to consist mainly of untaxed bonds. It may be
u good suggestion. At any rate, it is worth discussing, in view
of the general dissatisfaction with a system which makes sc
many large fortunes virtually immune from bearing their share
of public expense. Yet it serves once more to call attention to tlu
inquiry, made often by reputable lawyers, as to why the govern
ment does not make a serious eirort to apply the present income
tax to all state and municipal bonds, inasmuch as the income-tax
amendment to the constitution provides that the federal govern
ment may Utx incomes "from whatever source derived."
o
Ton can find many towns that have talked und talked about
desirable projects for a score of years, but have accomplisher
little or nothing. . If the same energy that had been put into talk
had been used in actual work, they would have made these im
provements and would have gotten them out of the way, and
would hhve been ready for something else. The majority of towns
awake from their slumbers long enough so they are willing to, talk
about progress. Hut such talk often seems to be merely a form
of amusement, and there is no achieving energy behind it. For
tunately in lioseburg there have been a good number of folks w ho
have Ix-en willing to act as well as talk. Hut we have our share
of sleepeis who are always willing to rouse up enough to talk
about progress, but they rarely do anything about it.
o
Wi'H it will all be over next Tuesday evening and the agony
of the income tax campaign will pass into history.
o
What the American people need is to use their arm muscles
a little more and their hind legs a little l.'ss.
A lax on luxuries is suggested, but it will come hard on people
who buy their luxuries In-fore the j:eovitirs.
ML
lear Folks:
I lie masher is a simple pest, his smile is quickK fprung. He
thinks he's irresistible, that honey's on his tongue. 11, tilts hi;-.
li.it across his head and swaggers here and there. The w rth ot
time is lost to him, lie's always some to spare.
I'pon the streets and trolley cars, he wears his Mcklv grin,
t'-iere's nothing in his line of thought that's reaily mascis'.ii.c. He
ihinks the ladies like his looks, his slick and' plastered hair. tien
!u iKTclnmce will look at him, he'll start to smirk and .M:-.iv.
'linn by and by he'll say a word, like, "How are things t V"
This kind of talk is all he knows, it s all that he can say. Turn
bolder still the masher grows, and says it once again. For lis
a man, or so he thinks, and I. noes like the men.
He dogs the heels of pretty girls w ithout the slightest 1 ar.
;:iid drops remarks of silly .stulf in hopes that they w ill hear, ll
1 e lut knew how low he stood in ees he tries to meet, Mrhaps
then'd be less of his kind let loose upon the street.
It's fortunate that now and then, some women have the knack,
f IfMir.jT mashers where they st.md, and throwing in a whack.1
It's then I like to hear the way, with ao, tongues, they're lashed.
i'o me it's worth the while to S'V the masher getting mashed.

Where Enoch Arden
Failed
Hly Wke Wml'llt.)
Wheu I was a Utile Mlo I e
to fu big-eyed tmr the story of
Knorh Ardi-u. The thouht of that
lomly wanderer coming back ai"'
looking throiujh tlir window of the
cht-ry bouia to ae iho wife Willi
whom he had been no happy, and
who thought him dead, married to
another man, while Knoch stayed out
In the cold and wet and concealed
his Identity,' made me resolve never
to be a seafaring man. iteeause
Knoch got in that lix through going
to hi a.
A thing that haund me as much
aa Knoch 's plicht wan that the erst
while Mrs. Knoch and the children
had to put up with that Btrange man
In the house. Later, when I reach
ed the age when 1 straightened my
tie and looked at my feet whenever
1 saw a t:lrl approaching, I bejgan to
understand better how Knoch must
have felt about It.
Knoch Arden ban heen the subject
of much praise and ailulatlon for the
high ground he took. Hut, betwoon
you and me, I must admit that 1
consider Knoch after all pretty much
of a piker.
He did set out to do a noble thing.
When he saw his wife and children
happy with another liufcbaud and
father, he did not throw any uion
keywrenehes Into the machinery. Ho
saw that Mrs. Knoch loved thin other
mun and hysd become reconciled to
his own disappearance. Therefore,
sick, penniless, homeless and broken
hearted, he decided to effuco him
self. I
Knoch almost did a Cod-like I
thing, but not quite. Hecause, just
before he died, he yielded to a last
moment weakness and told his story
to his landlady. Now. you know as
well as i do that that was equivalent
to putting it In the town paper on
the front page with a seven-column
headintc.
Thus Knoch made worse than use
less the sacrifice he had set out to
so nobly achieve. Mrs. Knoch not
only had the humiliation of knowing
that in the eyes of thoxe puritanical
people she had been living Illegiti
mately with another man, hut alao
she and the children all their lives
would carry the soul-harrowing pic
ture of the forlorn and brokenheart
ed Knoch. Kverything that Knoch
had done, was undone, and more.
How many of us do the same
thins! We start out with noble re
solves, we give of ourselves to the
brim and overflowing; and then, like
the old cow, kick the whole business
over.
Incidentally, Enoch got Into that
mess by not taking his wife's ad
