howling Slieeesi;
fieudiirs of Broadway cln'oniclos are a trifle .surprised at tiie
news that the most recent victim of Cupid, a musical comedy
heauty, picked a press ajfent lather than a millionaire. Her taste
may he questioned, since their are innumei ahle marriaxeahle
plumbers, hut her scorn of riches and other attractions is not
unusual.
Chorus gills who are married to millionaires are as rare as
robins in February; that is why such marrinses are given' a prom
inent place in the news of the day. As a rule, the chorus cirl
is married to one of the men with whom she comes in social or
professional contact, the stage electrician, the owner of a grocery
near her furnished room, a taxi driver.
Chorus girls are human, and very much like other persons.
Their disadvantage is that they live in glass houses, and are more
closely watched. Sometimes they utilise public attention to in
crease their prestige artificially. More frequently they conduct
themselves as self-respecting wage earners, or they look for
Hew jobs.

up to the title. She shocked and insulted American audiences, and 'i'mul of me.haui.
in Paris has confessed that. she married a young Russian in order
to allow him to enter America. Now she has packed him back
to his native land. These are indications of a disposition that is
entitled "temperament." It is a fault rather than an indication
of genius. True artists do not have to become intellectual mon
keys to be happy. Chorus girls not infrequently are true artists,
humbly faithful to the ethics of their profession and the moral
standards of respectable people,

"Miracle Wheat" was the name to seed grain offered for sale
some years ago with the promise that it would yield enormous
, crops. So far as known, however, the only ones who profiled from
it were the exploiters of tho promise and their. crop was not grain,
but human, of the type to which is commonly applied the name
of an unlovely fish.
Now a reputed new variety of wheat developed by the de
partment of field husbandry of the University of Alberta is an
nounced in the Canadian press. It is a new strain of the Marquis
Variety, called Marquis III, with which tests have been carried
on over a period of three years. The university records show for
1!)2() a yield of 19 bushels to the acre for Marquis and 5!) for Mar
quis 111; for 1921. II and 50 bushels respective, and for 1922
2(i and 35, which seems to establish the relatively high produc
tivity of the newest variety. Seed that will yield 20 to 30 per
cent more grain than that commonly planted may not deserved
to be called miraculous, but it will interest farmers everywhere
on the North American continent.
Last year our crop averaged 1 11,.', bushels of wheat to the
acre; in 1919 the volume of production was largo, but the acre
age was unusually great and the average yield was only V) bushels
to the acre, and the bumper crop of recent years, harvested in

jf its attempt to beat it by refer-jenduin-
As evcryboily knowd, the pending
bill is not what the funners wanted.
Thry framed a far more drastic
proposal. Their measure made in
comes u public record. It began
with a very light tax on moderate
incomes and taxed big incomes a
hitrh us 15 not cent. Portland bi
busiireyn got the grange measure off
me ballet because of laulty sij;na
tu res-
1 be grange introduced the same
bill in the late legislature. Hut the
legislature tried to satisfy all fac
tions except those opposed to any
income tax, and passed a compromise
bill. It is a bill extremely mild in
its terms. It was. prepared with
representatives of the farm blot and
big bigness in conference. It lvpie
ser.ts the best efforts of the legis
lative body to be fair tc all groups
Though it is not the bill the farm
ers wanted;- they have accepted and
will support it. Hut certain Port
land interests are fighting it. They
are not displaying the same spirit ,of
compromise that the farmers have
shown.
They know that, after two years'
investigation, the state tax invest
t
gating commission recommended" the
adaption in Oregon of nn income tar.
They know that figures given out
by the state tax commission show
that farms, smull homes and real
estate in general are heavily overtax
ed, while other forms of property lo
the amount of millions pay little or
nc tax- Hut, blind to the known
injustice, and caring only for their
own selfish purposes, tax slackers

Jt is not the way to make Oregon
grow. We complain that we do not
get enough settlers on the farms.
One reason why we do not get these J
settlers is that, instead of taxing
all kinds , of property equitably, we
extort most of our taxes fiom the j
landowners. i
That kind of policy was followed
by big business in North Dakota
V hen the farmers asked relief they J
were tcJd to "go off and slop the .
hogs." How infinitely better it1
would have been if North Dakota
big business had compromised with
thu farmers! Portland Journal.

Paying In Full
It is a truism to say that one should not steal, but if one doc;
succumb to temptation may the misstep be considered in a de
gree amended by voluntarily restoring the amount taken? It may
indicate that a better further thought gives recognition to the
error of the act.
The San Francisco man who each month fur years sent a sum
of money to a corporation which he had robbed and did not reve.,1
his name or the source of the money until he had refunded the
amount talen, together with interest, probably discovered that
it did not p;fvto be dishonest. However, in' malting himself known
when he felt that the obligation had been discharged as far as
money payment could go, he pursued a policy in contrast with
those who contribute secretly to "conscience funds."
Put has he fully reciuiled his act? No doubt the penalty for
tne onense no commuted incliules imprisonment on conviction.'
That he escaped entirely by secluding himself. It would be con
cluded that one who by contributing a few dollars a month of tho
amount he earned and persisting in the endeavor for years, has
paid a lMMialty for his misdeeds that would justify society in over
looking any technically undischarged balance of punishment due.
People should not eat while worried, a doctor says, but how is
one to know that the other fellow isn't expecting him to pay the
check?
