THE .MOTORIST'S MMtDKN
Kansas City Times: Thore arc
careless pedestrians as well as care
less motorists. Hut, there should be
kept in mind the important fact that
the driver of the motor car is the
man who is in position to do moslL., fur redemption on December 15
Inmairo. and that the pedestrian of
superior power which he for the mo
ment occupies places upon him the
burden of responsibility.
It is easy for anv motorist to get
the feeling that his lights are su
preme. The. feeling apparently is
directed toward other motorists as
well as towaitl the more doferu-eless
person on foot. The slogan of hun
dreds of motorists in Kansas City
appears to be, "Let the uther fellow
look out." Approaching street in
tersections at top speed, often with
out even a warning signal; failure
to slow down in residence districts
of last year,, are ntill outstanding.
What does that mean?
It may .be an added indication
that this country is enjoying remark
able general prosperity. Evidently
the holders of these $90,000,000
worth of securities do not need cash.
Hut even more important is the in
dication of ignorance or carelessness
on the part of these bondholders.
The poor of the country, both
workers and idlers, are constantly
complaining of the hardship and in
justice of their lot. Yet it la the
comparatively poor who are holding
these bonds, three months after ma-
where children may be playing on ;,urilv. They have already sacrificed
or near tnc streets, and reckless i roughly, $1,000,000, either because

Seriously talk with him.
Referendum on the late income tax law is to be in
voked. Shall the people submit to one of those "special
election" campaign successes to defeat this meritorious
measure? Shall the state of Oregon repudiate its last leg
islature which honestly and sincerely endeavored to pass
an income tax that is fair and just a law that does not
hurt the small Inan but will make the person who has a
good income pay a proportion of that income toward run
ning the state of Oregon.
The Portland Journal recently spoke in the following
language of the movement to beat the income tax law
and the conclusions drawn are quite appropriate:
"Oh, go home and slop the hogs." . ,
"That is what North Dakota farmers were told to do

lead the movement, ami that the income tax. will be held I

"The campaign against. the' measure begins with a ly-;
ing-propaganda. For example, those behind the hold-up
say with one breath that the uurden of the income tax will
fall upon the little num. With the next breath they say
it will drive out capital and industries.
"If it puis the burden on the little man, how can it hurt
capital and big investments? If it puts the burden on
capital and big investments, how can it hurt the little
man? That is to say, the campaign is launched with de
ceit, humbug and fiction.
"Meanwhile, real property in Oregon is paying 80 to
85 per cent of the taxes. Everybody admits it. Nobody
denies it. . It is unfair, unjust and wrong, and everybody
knows it.

Oregon to 'go home and slop the hogs,' without repeating
North Dakota?"

Was Dr. Phy a Prophet?
In the press dispatches we notice a story from London
telling of a movement on foot in England to force all wliis-,
key to be labeled "poison." This is interesting from the fact
that a number of years ago when we used to visit Hot
Lake and see the old soaks sobering up and taking the
baths in order to get the liquor boiled out of them so that
they could again enter the world's daily program, Dr. V.
T. Phy would deliver a few brief, crisp lectures on the
damage whiskey was doing to a certain percentage of
heavy drinkers. He M ould close his talk by saying, "you
will live to see the day when whiskey will be labeled
'poison' and sold as such, if sold at all.'' !
Can it be possibe that the doctor had vision of the
Agitation now in London for that very procedure? Any
way, he hit the trend of public thought but it is doubtful :
if he anticipated the time was so near at hand for the ful-!
filment of his prognostication. j
Possibly the Mayor of San Francisco wishes he had
"counted the cost' before speaking into the transmitter,
while dedicating the radio broadcasting station of Hale
Brothers (KPO), these words: "I want to know howfar
my voice is carrying; how big my audience is. Send me
telegrams and send them collect." Anyhow, from one
standpoint he surely could not have asked for more satis
factory results than he obtained, since among many others
ho received replies from Honolulu and from a ship 1000
miles out at sea. At the close of the following dav, how
ever, he discovered that his desire to know how far his
voice had trawled had already cost him nearly $Vh
