TAXING The morning's news tells
BACHELORS of Representative J.
H. Nolta's plan to
introduce a bill which proposes a
tax on the income of every unmarried
man over the age of 21 years, unless
that man be supporting an ex-wife in
the way of alimony, or is the means
of support to parents or children. It
is to be expected that considerable
levity will be aroused over the bill,
and that many people will refuse to
take it seriously, yet the fact remains
that the unmarried man does not do
.lis economic share in the state, not
in the community in which he lives.
To many people it will seem but fair
to make the care-free bachelor share

All the rest is. unimportant compared with that. If we
have the spirit of true self governing people whichever
way we may decide these questions of the moment' we come through
right. '
Our life has become so complicated, the activities of our country
so numerous and so vast that it is VERY DIFFICULT FOR US
TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. The wheat farmers under
stand each other, the importers understand each other, the bankers
understand each other, but there are vast masses of the people of our
country who TOTALLY MISUNDERSTAND OTHER GREAT
MASSES OF OUR PEOPLE. "
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO
THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE COUNTRY ARE A
SET OF CONFIDENCE MEN. WHY, WE HAVE BEFORE US NOW
GREAT AND SERIOUS QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS OF THE COUNTRY, AND THis" IS WHAT STANDS IN
THE WAY OF'THEIR SOLUTION. IT IS THAT THE MEN THAT UN
DERSTAND THE FINANCES OF THE COUNTRY THE BANKERS AND
THE MERCHANTS ARE UNDER SUSPICION.'
.(iroat b.xlics f people will not accept what they say regarding
the Piibjeet of finance, a subject complicated by all the currents and

AN EFFECTIVE The working class
PROTEST es of all countries are
the ones on whom the
real brunt of war's hardships inevi
tably fall, not merely in the actual
fighting and suffering, but in the bur
den of the aftermath. What more
effective step could be taken there
fore, tbn the determination of these
pawns of war, to go on strike against
war of any kind? Were the working
classes of Germany and England to
each determine there shall be Jo war
between those countries, there could
not be any, and the terrible tax bur
den for huge armies and super-dread-,
noughts would be at an end. All the
Peace Palaces, and Congresses in the
world could not accomplish half as
much as could the close knitting to
gether of the socalled proletariat.
. The big trouble lies in the fact that
the demogogue is the only one who
has grasped this fact, and for a gen
eration he lias been sewing the seed
of discord and discontent in the des
perate attempt'to recreate society on
lines which are not in accord with
the experience of history, or natural
evolution. The larger education of
the massed along honest political life
will do much to hasten the time when
war shall be no more.
BOON TO OREGON
(Continued from page 1)
000 times $200, or $6,000,000.
This is money that otherwise- would
not reach the state at all.
"But the amount spent in actual
touring is the small part of the gain
t0 Oregon. People who tour in auto-
capacity for self government? Are
mobiles have money to invest. They
do not make invetsments in land they
see looking out of Pullman car win
dows. They must visit a community
before? they buy. The best example
probably is Southern California.
"If you take away from Los Ange
les the people who write checks on
Eastern banks, and clip coupons, how
much would their absence be felt by
the community? Bring 30,000 auto
mobile tourists into Oregon and Wash
ington over a hard surfaced Pacific
Highway. Would they make invest
ments? It all depends upon whether
Oregon and Washington have any
thing to offer. In scenery, climate,
and quality of the soil there is no
comparison between California and
the Northwest."
Recommending a two mill state tax
to raise the $2,000,000 Major Bawlby
continues :
"How can these 30,000 automobiles
be brought north of the California
line?
"By building the Pacific Highway,
and by that method only.
"If the present sessions of the leg
islatures fail to make adequate pro
vision tor this north and south trunk
road, the last chance is gone.
"The task is too great for the in
dividual counties, if the counties de-,
sired to build the highway.
"Would not $6,000,000 spent ;in one
season by Eastern and Caafornia au
tomobile tourists be worth while for
Oregon? The amount that will be
spent depends directly on the amount
of money spent on the Pacific High
way during the next two years.
"Oregon could afford to spend $20,
000,000 on this road. She can at
least afford to create a state highway
department and levy a two mill state
tax, all to be expended during 1913
and 1914 on north -and south trunk
roads. .; v
"This will not build a hard, surfac
ed road all the way. It will make the
road possible, however, and it is prob
able as much as the state can get
ready to spend in the short time that
is left."
While highway commissioner of
Washington, Major Bowlby, who was
before that on the faculty of the Uni
versity of Washington; had a complete
survey, plans and estimates made of
the cost of a hard surfaced highway
from Blaine, Wash., at the Canadian
boundary; to Vancouver, Wash., ap
proximately 300 miles. The total for
grading and surfacing was $1,568,545.
For hard surfacing, $3,468,000 was es
timated, a total of $5,036,545 which
Major Bowlby says can be raised by
a 2 1-2 mill tax imposed by the com
ing Washington legislature.
Detailed figures for hard surfacing
is at the rate of $15,000 per mile for
a pavement 16 -feet wide," he says.
"This will permit competition between
all of the standard hard surfaces. The
question here is:. Can the state of
Washington afford to spend $5,000,
000 on this road before, 1915?
, "It all depends on what the people
of Washington have to show to the
Eastern tourist w-ith money to invest.
Think of the pleasant summer climate
that would greet the tourist coming
up from the south.
"Besides all the material gain from
outside investors, think what such a
road would mean to the entire state,
and especially to the communities
through which it passes. All land
bordering on the road would double
in value.
"It is now up to you, citizens of
Oregon and Washington. If the pres
ent legislatures adjourn without mak
ing proper provision for the Pacific
Highway the last opportunity is
gone to have this road ready for the
thousands of tourists wh0 will be in
California in 1915."
SILAGE
At a farmers' institute not long ago
the question was asked: How many
housewives have silos? You can very
easily guess the nature of the replies
to this question, for none of those
present had much of an idea what a
I silo really is. Atler a short explana-
j tion it was agreed that nearly every
one -present in reality had a. silo of
some kind. Some of these were used
for saving fruits, corn, and others for
preserving cabbage for future use.
We don't really speak of these as
silos, but the effect on the saving of
these beds when placed in jars is the
! same as it is with' corn when stored
in the silo; in other words, silage Is
green corn preserved. by storing in an
air-tight structure. -There
probably are very few farmer
boys that do not .remember some rainy
-day op . vemng ' wlienjill hands got
busy preparing the cabbage' to fill the"
kraut jar. Probably no- thought was
given the subject because it was a
yearly task, and no one realized that
in effect the saving of the cabbage by
making it into kraut is the same as
making corn silage. It undoubtedly
served a good purpose in keeping then
family in a healthy condition during
the winter months when other green
food was not avri'able. The same is
true of silage, which affords a succu
lent and nourishing feed for the live
stock. .
There may be a question as to
whether all stock will eat the sour corn
silage, but give them a chance and this
thought will be quickly dispelled, for
all stock eat silage very greedily, and
the returns In the form of milk and
meat will amply pay for all the trouble
nd expense. . .
