uro to the people Is a reflection of
tho movement for a change In and a
llbemltraclou of the prohibition laws
that resulted In the declarations In
favor of the modification of the 18th
amendment to be found In the plat
forms of the Republican and the
Democratlo part lea. The call Is for a
change that will permit the legal pur
chase and possession of Intoxicating
liquor and the ending of the condi
tions that have grown up around th
liquor truffle as It now exists.
Some day In the not very distant
future there will be. we believe, a
change In the federal laws on this
subject. When that day comes there
should be, we further believe, a co
ordination of state with the federal
law with such modifications as may
be developed through the operation
of local option.
What, in the meantime, should the
state law be?

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT
Tho last of three measures devised to brinjr about tax
l'eduction and equalizntion in Oregon will appear on the bal
lot ns the result of initiative petitions sponsored by the
Oregon Taxpayers' Equalization and Conservation League.
In this column we discussed the other two measures a few
days ago and recommended a "Yes" vote.
The income tax measure is entitled "Personal Income Tax
Law Amendment Bill Purpose: To further reduce property
taxes by advancing the tax rates on net personal incomes
in excess of $5,000 from 5 to a maximum of S per cent ; sub
stituting an exemption from the total tax of 10 for a single
pereon, $20 for a married person, head of family, or husband
and wife,. and $1.00 for each dependent, instead of the present
income exemptions of ? 1,500, $2,500, and $100 respectively;
and amending the provisions of the law so as to apply to the
entire income of residents from personal service."
The editor of the Portland Oregonian opposes the bill on
this ground: "It is the business of the general public now tott measure thev are uncertain.

the state must resort to the property tax again.
The only other alternative is a drastic curtailment of the
functions of our state government regardless of pain or re
grets, as the Oregonian suggests. Hut when the people of iiut. dry conviction when m
the state try to eliminate those functions of government Wwho rtanT - '
which we can temporarily do without, it seems that almost .ch.w"ihe rwuit wetoeyMprel-
eveiyuiing is necessaiy. Ana, uioivver, mere are certain
long tiiiK obligations which must bo met in spite of dwind
ling tax receipts.
ITie Oregonian advances the theory that an increased in- the expected charge in the im!

must we tax property to the point of confiscation in orderl1"' u 1 chvr
to encourage mdustry? Where do we profit if the state ureson mioum reunn wr
takes away our pnuvrty (through excessive taxation) in
order to persuade wealthy nven to come in and buy it up ?
Tlie general opinion seems to be that the proposed, change
in tho income tax broadening the Ivise and increasing the
rates on the larger incomes is a wise measure and perfect
ly fair to all. It is no burden on the smaller incomes, since
a married man with an income of less than $1,500 would pay
no tax at all ; and the man who boasts an income of more
than $5,000 in these times should be willing to bear the in
creased tax, instead of forcing it upon the owner of property
which is producing no revenue or barely enough to offset de
preciation. MT. KYKRESTS CHALLENGE
The world's tallest mountain is going to lv assailed once
more. Early next year a party of Englishnwn will leave for
TiU-t in an attempt to climb to the top of Mount Everest.
This is a job that has never been done, for Mount Everest
rises more than St .000 feet above sea level and puts almost
insuperable obstacles in the way of climbers. Some lv.en
have ltvt their lives trying to get to the top. All who have
tried it have suffered to the limit of physical endunii-.ee.
And climbing Mount Everest, or any other mountain, is
from the utilitarian standpoint about the most completely
useless thing a msn can try to do. There is nothing up
there except a lot of bare rock and ice and a perpetual snow
storm. The race will be neither richer, happier nor wiser if
someone finally cvts to the top, Tho fortunate man himse'f
wort nv-ke any money out of it.
Why, then, should people try it? And why should t'-e
attempt be. for the rest of us. not merely exciting to road
about but actually uplifting, and knieht'y. and g'amorous?
The answer, of course, is that Mount Everest is a chal
lenge to the human spirit. A mountain chmlvr. some years
ago, who was asked why he was going to nmke the atttsr.pt,
replied in candid surprise, "Why because it's there."
And that, after all. is the explanation "because it's
there." It rises bleak and threatening, a Cod-given creation
to test a man's courage and skill and endurance to the very
utnwst. And the human soul, having a seed of immovt.-.lity
hidden somewhere within it. cannot willingly let such a test
go unsampled.
i;n,),;n(r js pe-hap the purest form of sport
there is. In it a man contests with his own body. He tascf
his ; and his physical hardihiw) into the scales to see
whether he is the man he hopes he is. The very' uselessncss
of his effort proves its worth. He is contending for an inner
satisfaction which is the greatest prite any sport can pos
sibly offer.
