prove the possession of $50. We'll wager it's a success.
The only way La Grande can get aloiig another year
without taking some steps toward better street lighting
is to have congress pass a law making about eighteen
hours of daylight the-year 'round for this part of Oregon.
That' would make the present necessity a little less apparent.
We can't suy confidently- about Oregon, but we know
some states that .would consider it a great gond fortune
to have a governor and legislature pulling in such distinctly
opposite directions. Had they been so blessed, a great
many unnecessary laws would have died for the want o;
an executive signature. And by that we .do not vish Ic
convey the impression that all bills passed and afl bill!
vetoed are unworthy. It is, however, almost as disastrous
;to have too many bills got through the mill successful!

LONDON (AP) An American
country and residential club may
be organized in London In the nar
future. One of. the hbttorlc tracts
near London where Henry VIII
used to hunt has been suggested
for the site, and as tho Is plenty
of Bpaco for golf, Americans Inter
ested In the deal rather look upon
this place with favor.
It has been proposed by the
prime movent In the Idea to take
over all the building aa they stand,
this Including a splendid Georgian
inunHton known as Addington Park,
one of the show places of this see
tlun. The site of the proposed club
Is near Croydon, the large airdrome
from which London planes arrive
end depart for the Continent, and
until a few years ago was the coun
try seat of the Archbishops of Can
terbury. Tho hunting lodge of Henry VIII
stood near where the mansion Is
innated. Orielnatlv this site was

Yesterday In
Congress .
! , INHERITANCE TAXATION. -
President Coolirijje's recent condemnation of the inlicri
lance tax in which he characterized it as socialistict wai
undoubtedly a sincere statement- but he, will nut-find i
very! large group of so-called "common" people agreeing
with) '.him. 'Ihe Observer believes fthat the theory of tlu
inheritance tax is just and its practice can be right aim
Vet not socialistic in tendency.
I Naturally, such a position us Coolidge has taken wil,
be applauded by a large group of the very wealthy families
of the country. An inheritance tax has been a great in
convenience to them and they will be tickled pink to have
all vestiges of it removed. Not many tf them (in mi por
tion to their numbei) have been caught, by such a tax.
but it his proved a great bother to transfer all of one'?
wealth and properly to one's heirs just before one dies
And .it's especially a bother when you've transferred yotn
wealth to escape the tax und then fail to die off as pel
schedule.
Th rest of us, however, aie more inclined to favoi
an inheritance tax not because we have a grudge again:--l
the multi-millionaire;- hut because it provides government
revenue from a source that cannot be seriously affected
by the drain, and it helps slightly in the elimination of
the idle, non-productive lich. In some states the inheri
tance lax is ioo sevore anu woi ks an injustice on manv
heirs while t-ilrit fv,,m others quantities they never mis.
Califoima, for example, i:t a poor place for the lii h to dt
Of course, they don't adveitise anything except that it's
supposed to be a good place to live.
The attack on the inheritance tax is similar to th
being waged by ollieis on all variety of taxation. Tax
questions are always a rource of rontroveisy. We have
heard so mueh condemnation the last few years that men
tion of any kind of a tax these days effects us much as
i red flag effects a bull. And the only solution is in effi
cient, economical government that will giadually make
newly invented taxation unnecessary as well as unpopular.
Certainly President Coolidge is making every effort to
attain that end.
