Toys of a year ago are often worn out and broken. More often they are discarded, the good with the bad, thrown aside by a growing child with changing desires. How many of them could be rejuvenated and passed on this Christmas to loss fortunate children of the community who would find in them the holiday joy' and happiness they have learned to eternally hope for? People with a surplus of old toys have a chance to show the true Christmas Spirit by distributing them where they will find new ap preciation.' Give them to charitable agencies or to worthy individuals either effart will be worth while. , IJANISHING ALL TAXES. The Observer has a letter from an Oakland, Oregon, resident, prompted by a recent reprinted editorial comment regarding" InSe's in wlifch lie Volild ?rfeJ V means of find ing the solution for our tax ills. He charges us to tell the people "if they will read a little book by W. II. Harvey, 'Paul's School of Statesmanship', they will learn how taxes can bp forever banished from the world.'' He says further that "we have paid taxes for G000 years is it not long enough?" " We doubt if the writer of that letter means -exactly what ho says, because if he does, we have discovered a rare specimen these days a citizen who sincerely believes that taxes are an unnecessary part of government and who has some pet theory by which all such burdens could be abolished. What he. really means, we imagine, is that all properly taxes could be abolished, thereby requiring uni versal application of income and inheritance taxes and spe cial taxes to raise funds for the carrying on of government. The marvelous little book to which ho refers has never been brought to our attention to the extent that we could read its tax solution, but whatever theory is propounded the precedents of tax methods established in the last 0000 years would doubtless make it slightly difficult, to say the .luist. Economists agree quite generally that our system of property taxes is unfair and that universal application, m .all units of government, of the principles of income taxation would more equitably distribute our burden. A serious difficulty arises, however, when we seek to apply them within one unit and retain property taxes in another. The time will come, we believe, (and before another 0000 years pass) when uniformity in the adoption of a new sys tem will be possible, but we can hhrdly predict the Utopian condition anticipated by our Oakland writer when all taxes will be banished from the world. What would remain to "crab" about if such a thing happened?
