Friday's dit patches told us: "An avalanche ot meat the big gest in ten months jammed the nation's livestock markets. Prices COLLAPSED from $1 to $10 yes terday. Butter, eggs and poultry also dropped." THIS is the DOint: I If the controls go completely off, supply and demand will rule the markets and determine the prices. Only time can tell what, will happen. . (J ERE is a good thing NOT to do: In Iowa City, the dispatches toll us, two University of Iowa students sat down at a window table in a restaurant and started eating steaks in a contest cclc .brating the end of price controls on meat. i An hour and 20 minutes later, the palm was awarded to John .McKay after he had finished off eight big ones. His competitor could tuck away only six.

Big, thick steaks, at stiff prices, constitute high living as long as good nourishing meat is obtain able at much lower prices.

STANTON Perhaps the most controversial measure to appear on the Nov. 5 ballot is the Old-Age and Disability Pension Fund bill, commonly known as the Little Townsend Bill. This measure would authorize a tax of 3 per cent upon all GROSS income exceeding $100 per month. Proceeds would be used to pay pensions to all persons 60 years of age or older who retired from productive labor and to persons 0.8 years of age or more if totally or permanently disabled. The tax would be collected and pensions distributed MONTHLY. Pensioners would be required to spend proceeds within 30 days after receipt. The State Tax Commission would be re quired to administer the act and make necessary rules and regulations and enforce penalties for violation. The measure is very similar to. the one presented in four states at the 1944. election. Oregon was selected for a second test because the proposal came so near passage. In 1944 Washington beat the plan 29.6 cent; Arizona 22.6 per cent; but in Oregon the vote was 180,691 yes to 219,981 no, or 45.09 per cent, making the sponsors hopeful that a second attempt might succeed, if given concentrated pressure. The chief argument by Townsend supporters is that this tax on gross income, distributed to thousands of elderly people, who would be required to spend the money within 30 days, while refraining from gainful employment, would create a large volume of buying power and thus .promote prosperity for business and industry and less danger of depression. The opposing answer to this that the major portion of . the away from earners ALREADY is being spent and kept in circulation, and that the tax, NEW business, but would simply take money away from workers to be spent by idle pensioners, regardless of whether they needed the pension, for the measure contains no provi sion for paying pensions only to those actually in need, but makes the monthly pension payments available to ANY person over 60 years of age. Townsendites deny that this tax is a pyramiding or trans actions tax, claiming it to be a flat tax on gross income. , The opposition, however, points out that 'tax costs are fig ured in all transactions. When goods are sold by one person to another and a tax js included, the seller in ordinary busi ness practice adds that tax to his selling price. When the goods are sold again, the first tax 'cost, plus the tax cost of the second handler, .goes into the price. Thus commodities, such as processed agricultural products, would carry four or five tax additions, each in larger proportion, before reaching the consumer. These additional taxes,, tl)c opposition claims, would so in crease prices oh 'the, retail market, that Oregon grown or njanufttcturjL'il prod.itcts, would be unable to compete against the products from neighboring states. Agricultural products from Washington, California, or Idaho, for instance, could be sold in grocery stores at a much lower rate than products grown and processed at home. Thus the effect, according to the opposition, would be to slow down agriculture, industry and business and throw thousands of workers out of em ployment. The principal argument in favor of. this bill is a sympathy argument based upon understanding of the financial prob lems of thousands of destitute and dependent elderly people. Increasing longevity, due to better understanding and practice in health and medicine, has resulted in a larger proportion of population in the upper age brackets. At the same time, the use of machinery and improved production methods has reduced the demand for workers in industrial fields. Thus persons of advancing age arc finding it increas ingly difficult to obtain gainful employment. As an addi tional factor, many -arc incapacitated. Our present pension system is woefully inadequate. Actual suffering and hardship is to be found on every hand, and the situation is particularly aggravated by current inflation ary conditions. The bill is sure to receive the support of great numbers of persons who would benefit from its pension provisions. It idso will receive support from persons who would rid themselves of responsibility for giving financial support to aging parents or close relatives. Further support wili come from those who have blinding sympathy for the plight of the aged. Consequently, the bill will have a large measure of affirmative support, and, in a light election a factor upon which the sponsors arc counting for victory stands a good opportunity for passage. , h'lps leMtn congestion without Ir-. rftitinft chtlfi'sdi'Uaitr nnrmslskin.

Defeats' Bruins But loses Two Top Players By RUSS NEWLAND SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21 (IP) After last week's rugged football sessions, involving an up set or two, tne west coast grid iron story today remains the same the best team until beaten is the University of California at Los Angeles. The UCLA Bruins, perched atop the Coast Conference stand ings and four times winners over stout opposition, improved their position In the dash to the Rose Bowl with a 13-6 win over a sur prisingly strong University of California eleven. In some respects, the Bruins lost while winning. Their lead ing ground gainer and ace fight halfback, Cal Rossi, suffered a broken right leg, above ' the ankle. And their clever field gen oral. Quarterback Ernie Case. ! went out of the contest with a broken nose. Nevertheless, U.C.L.A. is set ting the championship pace, un beaten, and may have hurdled the toughest rivals, namely Ore gon Stale, Washington, Stanford and California. Unless Univer sity of Southern California, pie season conference favorite, has finally hit its stride. Southern California heartened supporters with a sizzling come back, after losses inside and out of the conference, by overwhelm ing Washington, 28-u. It was a resounding reply to the general question of what was wrong with a USC eleven that had bowed to Ohio State, 21-0 and to Oregon State, 6-0, the latter a league affair. . Stanford out scored Santa Clara, 33-26, in a non-conference test. Washington State played un defeated Oregon to a 0-0 tie. Idaho has yet to win in or out" of the circuit, Its latest Doing a 20-14 setback by San Jose (Calif.) State College. Mat Tourney for Titular Bout Won By Sammy Cohen ' Second and final installment of elimination wrestling ' contests, held at the Roseburg Armory Saturday 'night to select' an op ponent lor tne urey musk in a bout to determine the Pacific Coast light heavyweight champ ionship, saw 'Satanic Sammy' Cohen emerge as top winner. In the last bout on the program, witnessed by a throng of about 700. Sammy pinned Frankie Hart, a newcomer from Ontario, Can ada, with a Boston crab hold, in 14 minutes 40 seconds after dis posing of 'Bulldog' Jackson in the semi-final in 7:50. Cohen started his night of triumphs as one of the principals in tne nrst preliminary, in wnicn he subdued Billy McEuin In 15 minutes with a reverse surfboard hold. The second preliminary, also lasting 15 minutes, saw the aging Jackson, tough and rough as ever, put Buck Davidson out of action with his punishing com bination ot a nammerlocK and leg stomp. Jackson's customary caveman tactics aided him mater ially in defeating Buck, but he was beaten at his own game when he tried It on Cohen. Hart reached the final bout after gaining Referee Owen's decision over Jack Kiser in the 20-minuto, no-fall third prelimi nary. Hart not only matched his opponent in speed and cleverness, but introduced the crowd to some new tactics on the mat. The hout was on the orthodox order from start to finish and won a big hand. i no titular maten between Cohen and the 'Grey Mask' will headline next Saturday night's card.
