» mt Scott herald ' deal more than 100 canto for it was collected from Oregon income* by a very expansive tax gathering machin ery and ha* made it* way to Wash- ington, D. C„ and back. On thia matter of taxation Repre sentative l*)Vn of Delaware recent ly made a thought-provoking speech Pointing out that there exists already “more than 250 different commia. »ions and bureaus of the federal gov ernment," he went on to say: “It is inevitable that the extension of bureaucratic government will de stroy the energies and therefore the liberties of the people. It is inevit able that the more bureaucratic gov- erament is extended, the lean com munity and state government will be left. It is inevitable that the exten sion of national power will call for more and more taxation to support the increased number of departments and bureaus with their inevitable increase of men and women upon the payrolls. It is inevitable that the mote the government getsfroen taxation the lee* the people can tax themselves for state and community purposes. It is inevitable that the more money the government get* for taxation the less the states can get. The fuller the national treasury the more empty the state treasure, until all energies of government will be nationalized ami the states will be too poor to pay for any of their own. When that time comes, then will come revolution as the only eocape from the tyranny of congress, just as it was the only remedy in 177« against the tyranny of a king. Either this or national death through a slavish and decadent citizens hip.” Published Every Friday at lenta Sta tion, Portland, Oregon LAWRENCE DINNEEN.

HEALTH AMERICANIZING AMERICA One of the chief promoters of the school monopoly bill undertook to plead the cause of educational mo nopoly before the Oregon Civic League at its last weekly meeting. The bill, it appears, owes its incep tion to the desire of the Scottish Rite Masons tc Americanize America. The champion of the bill, pressed by members of his audience, dis claimed any purpose of striking at Catholic or other private schools. Ap parently he found no fault with pres ent educational arrangements; the most persistent heckling failed to get him tc offer any word of criticism of any particular private school. That beyig the case, his hearers were un able to make out just what is the purpose of the measure. The trouble was, of course, thst before a “high-brow" audience the promoters of the bill feel that their ordinary line of anti-Cathclic talk nouH render them ridiculous. Be fore other audiences, however, and in their press the Kluxers uncover their real designa and indulge in the usual orgy of anti-Catholic calumny. Wit ness their patronage of ex-nuns, real and faked. The class of people to whom their propaganda appeals was well exemplified in the mob which attacked Mr. Brennan Sunday eve ning at Gresham. THE TIDE TURNING The Massachusetts legislature has directed the attorney-general of that slate to attack the constitutionality of the so-called Sheppard-Towner maternity law. Is this the beginning of the revolt against the 50-50 ap propriations which have become popu lar with the bureaucrat* in recent years ? It is not necessary to question the good intentions of the promoters of the various 50-50 arrangements in order to see the danger in this line of governmental activity. Vocational education is desirable, home eco nomics teaching is desirable^ good roads are desirable, training of mothers in the care of children is desirable, but it is very questionable whether the right way to get these things is through the development of a vast bureaucracy at the seat of the federal government.

C.) bureaus to interfere in matters which have here tofore been regarded as within the province of the various states. In particular each of these papers de livers a broadside against the Towner- Sterling education bill as the most dangerous of the 50-50 proposals be cause it mean* not merely a wasteful expenditure of the taxpayers’ money, but a regimentation of the American mind entirely out of harmony with our traditions. On the tax side the wise words of Senator Borah are directly to the point: “Even in this comparatively new , land of our* we have reached already the era of embargoes, subsidies, gra tuities, bonuses and finally the sinis ter invention of American politics— 50-50 between the state« and the gov ernment—that ia, the states will ex ploit the taxpayer for 50 per cent and the government for the other 50 per cent, thus dividing responsibility and augmenting extravagance, unmindful, apparently, that while the taxing power is two, the taxpayer in both instances is one and the same’* While the taxing power is two, the taxpayer is one and the same, that ia a thing to remember. The people of Oregon may be sure that when they receive a dollar from Washing ton that dollar has cost them a god4 person or corporation for whom such trustee is acting, is given; also that the said two paragraphs contain state, meats embracing affiant’s full knowl edge and belief as to the circum stances and condition* under which stockholders and security holders who do not appear upon the books of the company as trustees, hold stock an,( securities in a capacity other than that of a bona fide owner; and this affiant has no reason to believe that any other person, association or cor poration ha* any interest direct or indirect in the said stock, borvis or other secuntlo* than ao so stated by him.
