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.”

FOR. 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.
STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP

quired by the Act of Congreas of
August 24, 1912.
Of The Mount Scott Herald, pub
lished weekly at Lents, Portland, Or,
fcr October, 1922. State of Oregon.
County of Multnomah.
Before me, a notary public, in and
for the state and county aforesaid,
personally appeared Lawrence Din-
necn, who, having been duly sworn
according to law, deposes and say*
that he ia the editor of The Mount •
Scott Herald and that the following
is, to the best of his knowledge and
belief, a true statement of the own
ership, management, etc, of the afore
said publication for the date shown in
the above eapticn, require»! by the
act of August 24, 1912, embodied in r
section 443, postal laws and regula
tions, printed on the reverse of this
form, to-wit:
First—That the names and ad
dresses of the publisher, editor, man
ageing editor and business managers
are: Publisher. The Columban Pres», ’

east, Portland; editor. Lawrence Din-

Third—That the known bondhold
er?, mortgagees and other security
holders owning or holding 1 per cent
or more of total amount of bonds,
mortgages or other securities are:
Multnomah State Bank, Lenta, Port
land, Or.
Fourth—That the two paragraphs
next above, giving the names of the
owners, stockholder* and security |
holders, if any, contain not only the
list of stockholders, and security
holders as they appear upon the book*
of the company, but also, in eases
where the stockholder or security
holder appears upon the books of the
company as trustee or in any other
fiduciary relation, the name of the
It is of interest that within the
past few days two great organs of
opinion--the Saturday Evening Post
and Henry Ford’s Dearborn Independ
ent—have come out with vigorous
protests against the growing power
of the Washington (D. 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.
