"Opon discovering our strength UNIMPAIRED (the Jap planes had damaged but not sunk ONE of our cruisers and ONE pf bur destroyers) the enemy AVOID ED ACTION and retired." HERE is another puzzling ques tion: Why didn't the Jap fleet know what the Jap planes had or hadn't done to us? What is wrong with their reconnaissance and their communications? Its all too much for this writer. Someone better informed will have to answer that one. A NEW TAX STRUCTURE MEANWHILE MncArthur's -land-based bombers launch their fourth mass attack in two weeks on the Japs' prize oil sup plyi at Ballkpapan in Borneo. Tiles' shoot down some 40 or 50 J:ijf interceptors and drop 390 tons of bombs. (In a run-of-the-mill attack on; Cologne this morning 1300 of out bordbers drop 4,000 tons. Compare thla with MacArthur's 390 tons dropped on Balikpapan.) When we get Hitler licked and can really got at the Jap with both hands, we'll show the little yellow man something. By Charles V. Stanton IN studying initiative and referendum measures appearing on the ballot for the Nov. 7 election, it will be noted that five pertain to taxes. Two measures would set up benefits for veterans, one would impose a sales tax, another wbuTr provide a levy for public school support and still another, the "Little Townsend Plan," would provide a state pension system for persons over 60 years of age by taxing gross in comes. . . ' Submission of tax proposals to the voters offers a seri ous problem. The average voter is not a tax expert. He has little conception pf the state's tax program or what ef fect passage of a measure woul4 have upon the tax set-up as a whole. Ordinarily proponents of a measure to be submitted to the voters surround it with sentiment or special inducement. Wq want to do everything we can for the returning veter an. We sincerely appreciate what he is doing, the suffer ings and the hardships he is undergoing and we feel that financial aid in providing him with a home, business pr edif cation is very small return for all he has done. The sales tax proposal coming before the voters carries a real property tax offset clause sugar to catch the vote of the home and farm owner. . No deeper sentiment exists than with regard to our schools. We all feel deeply the need for superior educational facilities. Our sympathy goes out to all elderly people who are too old to work, yet who have failed to accumulate sufficient savings to furnish income for their old age. Thus, through, our sympathy and sentiment, we are tempt ed to vote more and more taxes. Three of the five measures involving taxes would be in the form of constitutional amendments. As such they could be removed, altered or amended only by another vote of the people. In other words we would be imposing upon our selves taxes which would be at least semi-permanent; taxes which, instead of changing in proportion to our ability to pay, would remain constant through good times and bad. These measures appeal to our sentiment. Today money is easy and we feel inclined to lot our sentiment have full sway. But tomorrow money irtay be more difficult to ob tain. It will be hard then to liquidate the taxes we have voted. There is no question but that we need more money for our schools, that we should pay some form of adequate pen sion to; the aged and incapacitated, that we should make sure our veterans are well taken care of. But are we, the average voters, (jualified as tax experts? Have you ever watched an amateur carpenter with a mania for remodelling? He adds a wing on one side of his house. Then, he constructs a lean-to on the other side for a play room. Finally he adds a second story. New gables make appearance from time-to-time. Eventually he has nothing but a monstrosity which is out of plumb because it is too heavy' for its foundations, and which from a comfort standpoint is nothing but a mess. Anyone knows that remodelling an old house is never entirely satisfactory. It is far better to tear down the old building, and reconstruct it on plans drawn by an ex perienced architect. So it is with our stale tax system. We can never expect to obtain a satisfactory tax structure through a process of additions, patchwork and repairs. What we need is to aocure the services of experts who can redesign and re construct, giving us an entire new structure which will balance property, income and sales taxes, and make pro visions tor the needs of administration, schools, pensions and ether purposes. We cart never solve our lax problems by creating a hodgepodge. We require a tax system designed to meet our needs, yet containing the flexibility unobtainable from constitutional amendments, so that the tax burden may be governed by our ability to pay. Green Light Given Manufacturers Of Civilian Goods WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (AP) Civilian goods production has been authorized in more than "750 plants under the "spot authoriza- rt..n'' nlun War Ttonrl, ml officials estimated today, with new applications arriving at a rale of about 500 a wpek. The plant-by-plant authoriza tions may prove to be the main bridge between war and peace time production, some officials be lieve, If the European war runs into the winter and if business men continue to use the program as a cushion for war contract cancellations. The spot plan permits com- fianies to make peacetime goods f they can prove to WPB field offices that they have labor and machinery not needed for war work. Widespread usage of the plan pow appears likely with the slow-up of allied forces at Hitler's westwall, and businessmen gen erally have begun to explore the possibilities of using the Dlan de spite their complaints at the red tape invoiveu in getting an apu cation cleared. One company already is taking orders for vacuum cleaners as sembled under the "spot"' plan from parts remaining in stock and parts now being manufactur ed. The Maytag company of Newton, lowa, nas gained ap. proval to make parts for wash ing machines, to be assembled when WPB gives the go-ahead. Other companies have been per mitted to start, or are free to start, the production of sofa beds, Innersprlng mattresses, cribs, cur. tain rods, lawn mowers, bottle owners, box bed snrines. scales, milking macnines, electric not plates, sauce pans, kettles, steel highway signs, aluminum Vene tian blinds, oil burners, egg beat er, aluminum vacuum bottles, sil verware, milk coolers and septic tanks. Even less essential items are on the list of approved goods: manicure items, fishing rods, portable lamps. KR NR Mutual Broadoastlng 8atem, 1490 Kilocycle.

You begin with fears, you work with misgiv ings, you end with disappoint ments. The cure is to begin thinking positively. Begin to say "I know," instead of "I wonder." Look into the face of the worst day and say I can, instead of I hope. Walk up to every impossible, and shout, "I'll try," instead of set tling down and saying, "What's the use." Instead of praying "God help me," be gin as David did, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." Trust God and trust life. If you trust God, life will not let you down for "all things work together for good to -them who trust the Lord." "For the Lord God is a sun, and a shield, the Lord will ' give grace and glory. No good thing will He with hold from them that walk up rightly. Be a. positive, and not a negative. Amen. "Polio" Decrease Noted PORTLAND.

If Governor Dewcv is elected. the country will turn to the right. Which do you Mr. and Mrs. Voter believe In? Do you want more of the left, more variations of federal con trol, more socialist leanings, more domination ot and Interference with business, or Do you want less. less of the New Deal, less of theorizing and less experimentation; more bus iness in government and less gov ernment In business, more com mon sense and horse sense, in tlije administration of our post-war economy. f or as becomes more evident every day the next administra tion,-or the major portion of it, will be a peace not a war ad ministration. The outstanding problem will not be how to win a war, but how best to recover from the ravages of one, and re sume, with the least shock and jar, the pursuits ot peace. Do you favor at that time a continued turn to the left or would you prefer to see your country take Us bearings, find out Just where the ship of state Is "at," and then choose a course entirely different from the course of the past decade, as far us do mestic policies are concerned. That's all. It is a matter of belief. Thous ands in this country believe one thing, thousands believe another. Decide that and there should be no douht as to how you should vote.
