- Abu? Zs Cp To Pierce
Oregon at tlio polls voted the state income tax njrainst tlie
most terrific fightiiij? opposition that has confronted any meas
ure since, the days of direct legislation became a fact.
The majority is small, but the opponents to the law an
nounce they are through and will fijht no longer except to
test it out in the com Is for leak's and weak places, a thing which
is essential with any law.
With the passage of this measure by the people conies o
. ierrific responsibility to Walter Al. Pierce, governor of Oregon.
Ho'.' must see that this law operates in the way that it was in
tended. i He must see that the income tax collection department is
organized without waste and that the present tax collecting ma
chinery be used in' every county and in the state where at
an possible.
He must make the success of this law which many of us
believe is possible, else the whole principle oi income tax win
fall in Oregon, and rightfully so.
, l'robably the outstanding duty of the governor, if any one
duty along taxation lines can be greater than another, is to
apply the funds raised from the income tax toward lowering
the general tax.
If there is failure in this one point an insensed and justly
indignant state will arise in its wrath as it never has arisen
before.
The governor's work has just begun. He now has the tool.'
to work with. He now has the mandate of the people behind
him. Let him show the results.

Why "Ism" Flourishes
A humorist, writing of i family given to frequent change
of habitation, tolls how the chickens of the moving owner, on
noting signs of a coming change of habitation, lie on thoir backs
i'.nd hold up their legs to be tied. So the "ism" faddists seem
to have become so resigned to seeming change of metaphysical
or psychical position by so-called thought leaders that, on the
offer of a new "ism" they pnfmptly make themselves re:idv
to be tied. '
. Hence the increasing number of new-thought schools that
are rising on every hand. The long-headed exponents of "isms,"
jwith an eye to the main chance and with ear to the ground
for "tips" as to the direction of fad sentiment, are reaping enor
mous profits out of the gullible, as witness the packet! audi
ences in attendance on their lectures and the thronged class
i;ooms of certain teachers indorsed by the "fashionables."
I Much of their "stuff' though labeled new, is really old
Much of their teaching listed as wisdom is exploded sophistry
The novelty of their idea is chiefly in the dressing. But Urn
tjemmingly is of no interest to the followers of frequently chang
ing "isms." They do not stop to count the- cost of indulgence in
the "ism", mad and hold up their feet to bo tied and theii
purses to be untied. So the "isms" flourish.

The Yearning For Silk
It is noted that the greatest single item of American im
ports' is silk. This country has been buying silk to the value
of around I? 100,000,000. .The disaster which has befallen Japan
is likely to cause a big boost in prices, for not only were vast
quantities of silk destroyed but the production will be diminished
for a time at least and marketing dislocated. Until Japan set
ties dovn and approaches normal conditions silk is likely-to bi
a real luxury. ,
Silk is not for the wealthy alone. All classes insist on it. It
may have a wide range in quality but so long as it is silk oik
is properly dieted and possessed of seif-respect. Silk is the emb
lem of our democracy where one is as good as any of the others,
if one has the nnmer amount of silk on the tuM-son. That woo! ! hie
