A definite result obtained by the intangibles tax levied by the last legislature is property relief to the extend of a mil lion dollars in the state. That's quite a sunt and may lay tho way for the elimination of all property taxation for state purposes eventually. But, in the light of your tax total, it doesn't amount to much. Our mental calculation indicates that it means a saving of about two per cent two cents less to pay out of each tax dollar. The rest of the money and the big share of the total burden is for schools and local government and so forth. Which emphasizes, as vjb linvp nfr. vpmnrk-orl. t.hnl: fhn ni.nl-o nnrl ihn lncriulnfnvn is really not responsible for but a small portion of our tax woes. - ': ' . do wel to study Hoover's "personal budget" showing divi sion of government expenditures. 'Out of 'every' federal' 'tax dollar 72c goes for wars, past and futurea billion and a quarter for the public debt, three-quarters of a billion for pensions and veterans' care and nearly as much for the army and navy. Only 8c of each dollar goes for routine operation of the government, with 13c for public health, education, farm; relief, public buildings, and other aids and subsidies. The final 7c goes for tax refunds, veterans' insurance, other fiscal demands. All of which indicates that war is our most expensive occupation by all odds. Ono of the services undertaken by tho special business committee formed at the suggestion of Julius Klein, Assist ant Secretary of Commerce, is -for the benefit of the small retailer. Records in Louisville were shown to the effect that SO retail grocery stores failed in that city each month and 32 others started in business. The committee doesn't think help impossible. It would seek to set up certain standards, no doubt, by which tho small retailer could be guided to attain success. Encourage a more careful investigation into a pro posed field, determine overhead factors that could be antici pated. Many facts could be assembled that would assist the prospective business man in making his decision. It's truo that many who fail must learn through personal experi ence. But there should bo many others who would bo willino- to learn from the experience of others before risking their own investment. The service has vast possibilities of a constructive nature and should be awaited with interest. "A MATT tilt FOR 'NIK MILITARY" ! Tho operation of what may be called tho Troy mind, with all its limitations, is admirably illustrated in remarks made by Major General Sir Charles Herbert Powell, a British conservative of the old school, who toured the middle west recently. After sharply criticizing all the present talk about arma ment reduction, world peace and the like, Sir Charles turned his attention to India, where a powerful demand for independence- is giving the British government no end of worry, and dismissed the whole matter in a sentence. "That," said Sir Charles, "is a matter for the military." It would bo hard to find a better example of the old fashioned "die hard" the man who thinks in the maimer of iho past, the man to whom the events of history have brought no knowledge. "A matter for tho military." Sir Charles, nresimuililv. would end the conciliatory negotiations by which the British rovcrnment is trying to reach an understanding with the restive Indians. Ho would, one imagines, simply call out tho troops, shoot all malcontents, and trust to luck that everything would come out all right. A century and a half ago Britain had trouble with another overseas possession the North American colonics. Patience and tact could have settled that question; but England's Tories insisted that it was "a matter for the military." And you don't need to be told how that came out. No country has a monopoly on the Tory mind. We have our specimens, too. But Sir Charles is such a perfect example that he deserves attention. Unfortunitely, lie is not the only man on earth who wants to solve modern problems by ttwillirwlo ,,.,1 ..1...KI TO VISIT ISLANDS EUGENE, Ore.
