OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1921
ROGER BABSON CLAIMS
INCOME TAX KILLING
PROSPERITY IN U. S.
Roger W. Babeon, the statistician
and advisor to 16,000 of . America's
ablest executives, issues the following
statement from his office at Welles
ley Hills:
"People little realize what the in
come and other Federal taxes are do
ing to kill prosperity and enterprise.
"The bank clearings, building per
mits and other figures now coming
out for the two weeks preceding
March loth (when the Federal Tax
Statements were- due) indicate that
the time which 5,000,000 people have
given simply to preparing these re
ports resulted in a loss of about $1,-
000,000,000 in sales, $550,000,000 in
other lines. If we add to these figures
the lime of bookkeepers, accountants
government tax officials, collectors,
and inspectors whose work is wholly
unproductive and who from the eco
nomists point of view are simply
parasites on the country, we have
far greater losses.
"But some say: "Think of the $4,
000,600,000 which the government will
be able to spend this year." This
is where we are all being fooled. If
the making out of these returns and
the collecting of the money did not
cost one :ent,. the country would not
be any better off. The whole process
is simply the "robbing of Peter to pay
Paul." and the "robbing' costs the
American people about $2,000,000,000
a year in actual cash. Add to thi3
the psycological effect upon men of
enterprise (I refer to the retarding,
the da'mpening effect of this whole
tax business on the ambitions and ef
forts of the men who pay and promote
great enterprises the men who reallj
make prosperity and the losses above
indicated must be multiplied manj
fold.
"I believe in an income tax and
know that Commissioner of Internal
Revenue "Williams and his entire staft
have handled a most difficult problem
in a most efficient and' impartial man
ner. The American people, however,
phould not fool themselves as to what
a drag our present tax system is on
prosperity."

S WHAT EXPERTS SAY
j 4
..?.)
Because of their high protein con
tent . and their bodybuilding value,
pink and chum salmon are both high
ly recommended by food experts. Dr.
Harvey W. Wiley, for 30 years chief
of the U. S. Bureau of Chemistry,
says: . "The light meated varieties
of salmon are just as palatable and
nutritious as the more highly colored
species but people should be informed
more definitely about them, for many
when they open a can and find the
meat is not pink, think it is some
other kind of meat or is inferior.'
Prof. John N. Cobb, of the U. S. Bur
eau 'of Fisheries, the recognized a.w
thority on fish, states that personally
he prefers the pink salmon to any
other variety and that most of the
fishermen when selecting fish for
their own use, choose it. . Others
give preference to the chum because
its meat bears a close resemblance
in color, to that of the trout and is
less oily than other varieties.

John JL. Etheridge to obtain United
States citizenship was ended abruptly
Monday when Judge Bean handed
down a ruling sustaining a demurrer
to the Morris indictment
The ruling of the district judge ef
fectually stopped all prosecution ot
Morris in connection with the nat
uralization charges. It did not, how
ever, affect any of the charges brought
against both Morris and Etheridge in
connection with the wrecking of the
bond house of Morris Bros., Inc.
Etheridge, who was formerly head
of the defunct concern, obtained
American citizenship in 191S. He was
a native of England. At the tim
Etheridge was adrcited to citizenship,
Morris appeared as his witness and
signed varioua documents relative to
his admission.
In answer to a question as to wheth
er Etheridge had ever been convicted
of a felony, Morris replied that he had
not since he had known him. Inas
much as Etheridge was twice con
victed of felonies in the states of New
Jersey in 1905 and 1907, Lester TV
Humphreys, United States attorney,
contended that Morris' answer was a

and that was that God' never made a

it raised or snowed or blew or shcne,
it was a fine day with him, Meet

catch him without a smile on his face
and a cheery, "Nice day!" on his Hps
And this man who was short in the
upper story did more to make folks
feel good inside of them and to in
spire them to look on the bright side
of life than any other farmer in the
neighborhood. We all went on after
we had met him in the road wtih a
warmer feeling in our hearts, think
ing, "Now, maybe it really is a better
day than I had thought it was."
No man could have spoken a great
er truth than our good friend of the
cheery smile and the optimistic
thought. Edward Everett, the great
orator, went far across the country to
speak at the dedication of a great
public institution. It was a storm7

direct evasion and under the. circum-j the expression on their faces, Mr. Ev-
-CHrCAGO, March 19. An explo
sion which was felt over most of the
South Side, destroyed the Armour
grain elevator on the Calumet river
early Saturday night. Fire follow
ed the explosion.
The night watchman, who was seii
ously injured, said that seven persons
might be trapped in the ruins.
Two hours after the explosion the
police reported a careful survey show
ed that one man was dead, four were
injured and four missing. All of
the victims were workmen.
The elevator was one of the largest
in the world, having a capacity of
10,000.000 bushels. It stood in an
isolated spot on the southern out
skirts of the city, the nearest dweil-
stances unlawful.
"It does not follow as a matter of
aw that because a man has been
convicted of a felony he may not
thereafter reform and so conduct
himself as to satisfy a court that he
had behaved as a man of goo 1 moral
character a sufficient length of time
to entitle him to admission," Judge
Bean declared in delivering his opin
ion.
The indictment was based on sec
tion 23 of the naturalization act,
which provides that any person who
'knowingly aids, advises or encour
ages any person not entitled thereto
to apply for or secure naturalization"
shall be guilty of a crime.
Morris was midly censured by the
erett said with a big smile all over
bis face, "This is a fine day, God made
it, and he never made a day that was
not just the best he could make it."
Sometimes it seems to us that
things in this old world of ours are
pretty badly mixed up these days. It
is quite fasionable to say, "We never
saw anything like this." We are
wrong, fellow farmers. Things
might be a great deal worse with us
than they are. And everything: is
coming out right, but you and I must
bring them out right, or they will nev

Prune Association
From N. Y. Market
In an effort to strengthen the New
York prune miarket, the Oregon
Growers' Cooperative association re
cently withdrew quotations in that
city on prunes according to R. O.
Paulus, sales manager.
Prunes of the 40-50 sizes, which
about three weeks ago were quoted
at 9,,& cents a pound in 25 pound
boxes f. o. b. the coast, declined in
price to 9 cents and later to 8
cents a pound.
On the 18th of this month there
was another decline to SYs' cents a
pound and on the 19th, one or two
packers in New York were soliciting
business at 8 cento a pound for the
40-50 sizes of prunes in 25 pound boxes
packed, f. o. b. coast.
Continued activity in, the interior
markets of the country are reported
by Mr. Paulus, although sales are
being interfered with by a continual
lowering of prices by independent
packers. Last week the Association
sold car lot shipments for Holland,
Liverpool and London.
What Is Better
Than the Royal
Chinook Salmon?
Pink and chum salmon are among
the most wholesale and least expen
sive foods it is possible to procurs
at the present time. These two va
rieties ky reason of their greater
abundance but not from lack of qual
ity are the cheapest. Although they
differ in color and favor so that
each is specially suited to certain
dishes they are alike in their high
food value.

Every Man, Woman,
in Washington Must
Pay $5 Poll Tax
OLYMPIA. Wash., March 22. Gov
ernor Hart Monti.'tv signed ttie poll
tax bill passed by the last legislature
The bill became ef fe ?tlva at once and
under it every man and woman in
Washington between the ages of 21-50
years must pay a poll tax of $5 before
May 1 of each year. The first year's
tax is due before May 1 next.
The law requires that county as
sessors make up a list of persons
liable for the tax, and the department
of labor shall furnish to county treas
urers a list of all employers of the
state. 'No employer shall pay his
workmen after May 1 until the latter
shall have paid their poll tax. The
law gives to county sheriffs the right
to seize personal or real 'property
until the poll tax is paid.
It is expected that the poll tax will
raise about $2,000,000 a year. It will
be used to retire the $11,000,000 in
bonds issued to pay the state bonus
to world war veterans.

The case went to the jury at 4: SO
p. m., and returned to the courtroom
40 minutes later. B. F. Laughridge
1 3 years old, foreman, said only one
ballot was taken, a secret one, con
firmed by a rising vote.
Clara Hamon obtained the informa

verdict wag given in open court and
sat, surrounded by her family, 'half
smiling, half afraid to believe the nods
or assurance that were bent toward
her. '
When Judge Champion mountea

response to his question, "Gentlemen,
have you reached a verdict?" her
eyes intently followed the bailiff as
he received the verdict from Mr.
Laughridge and handed it to the
clerk, who read in a nervous, falsetto
voice.
Clara Hamon gasped audibly in the
tensely silent courtroom, drooped for

Immense Tract
Of Alaskan Timber
Sold for Pulpwood
The sale of what it is to be the larg
est body of government timber-ever
advertised has just been approved, ac
cording to District Forester Geo. H.
Cecil, of the Portland office of the
forest service. This sale is for 335
million cubid feet, or approximately
two billion board feet, known as the
West Admiralty Island unit, and lo
cated on the Tongass national forest
in southeast Alaska.
IMr. Cecil emphasized that
the efforts of the forest service to
utilize ' the timber resources of the
national forests of Alaska are begin
ning to bear friut. He stated that
the consummation of the sale of this
large unit of timber would mean much
to Alaska since it would bring to the
territory a permanenjt industry, as
the timber of the national forests ot
the north cut under forestry princi
ples would mean raw material for
several pulp mills indefinitely. Iaj
this connection he also called atten
tion to the fact that within, the past
six weeks the first puly ever manu
factured in Alaska was shipped ' out
from the Speel River plant, a pulp
mill located on the Tongass national
forest and cutting government stump-age.

SEED STRAINS IMPORTANT.
MEAT WORKERS
VOTE STRIKE BY
HUGE MAJORITY
Seed strains are attracting much at
tention at present. Growers are real
izing that any variety is no better
than the seed strain of that variety.
There may be a considerable differ
ence in the tonnage of two lots of
winter cabbage of the same variety.
One lot may produce 10 tons an acre
and another 15 tons an acre, grown
under the same conditions. Just as
in poultry husbandry, so in vegetable
gardsning, these high yielding strains
affect the crop more than the mere
variety selected. The O. A. C. exper
iment station is endeavoring to col
lect the higher yielding strains ot
many different vegetables in ordei
that these may form the basis of fu
