Unless agriculture has ade quate financing it cannot prosper and if agriculture canojot prosper, the country v cannot"., prosper.. . A very large force in the present subsi dence of business Is the wiping out of (8 per cent of farm assets except in lands and -savings through the slump in the price of farm products. That blow to agriculture took away the buying power! of more than 10, 000.000 people who are immediately dependent on .the farm for a living. It was destruction almost overnight of one third of the buying power of the nation and the effect is very manifest in depressed business. It was a happening to open the eyes of those who have been so long blind to the value of farm prosperity as an essential factor in and principal 'basis of national prosperity. "The farmers can compliment them selves on the greater Attention agri culture is receiving at Washington. Their organizations and the solidar ity of the farm -groups reflected by the representations of those organi sations at Washington have, had weight with congress. The so-called "farmers' bloc" in the senate and house are members from farm states, where organizations of farmers have become active in pushing their needs before the attention of the public and congressional representatives! . So long as these organizations preserve their solidarity and continue the de mands for equal opportunities, Amer ican, agriculture will stand a chance of becoming" , a reasonably ' profit able calling. I The manufacturers have long understood the system and by -pushing their claims at Washing ton have prospered almost beyond measure. . ;"-'" These advances in agricultural legislation are j a splendid thing for I the country. They are an advance towards a more equitable distribution of wealth, and a more equitable dis tribution of wealth makes for a sounder citizenship and a more en during republic i the grifte'r himself.'

I ' Here is an extraordinary; revela- i tion as to where in these United f States the big profits are made. Of j the' 110,000,000 people in America, children included, something over j five million paid income taxes. Of 'that more than five million,-those in ' 'New York paid nearly one third of the income tax of thewbole cnuntrv jj Who owns the United States, and !

His charges (Jwere disputed and he was, 'in turn, Jjassailed by many critics. j But here is a new way in which we .jare formally and officially informed !with' extraordinary clearness that in ("America there is a very great ac- J cumulation of wealth in a few hands. Though incomes -as low as $1000 ' (are taxed, - 10S, 000,000 people in jiAmerica are not reached by Income Stax. of the 6,332,760 who are I Reached, nearly IS per cent are in ile w.Yorkl and their Incomes are so huge that they pay nearly one third jof the total income tax of the whole country. , That a to say and this Is Jthe significant fact in the discussion j of all the wealth created in the country by all the people in a year. much of the profits are absorbed New York that under a graduated f Income tax people there pay 31.49 per cent on the entire Income tax." j In the returns are 65 persons who "have a net income 'of a $1,000,000 'and oves 189 with incomes between fhalf a million and a million.

And now the Northwest Grain Growers association has named Portland as the basic point for ex port shipping. . Do those Portland- ers who opposed the fight for lower rates through the Columbia gate way not begin to see what the victory in that fight means? IN THE RED CJOIXOWING Secretary Mellon's disclosures to congress of the tremendous sums spent by the gov ernment in July and of the fact that both expenditures and the current deficit show huge increases over the corresponding month last year, and the secretary's proposal that cer tain taxes be repealed and ; others adopted, House- Leader Mondell gave both the secretary and the congress some very intelligent advice. He salds - xr ' !.';',': - : The country ! demands a lifting. not a shifting, of the : tax burdens. Mr. Mondell is quite correct. From the government standpoint it would be a grave mistake to merely shift the burdens from1 the rich man to the poor man. j The furfatf to be raised would be the same. There would be no difference to the gov ernment, from a monetary stand point, from whence the funds came. TODAY Caruso, Complete Edition Don't Sit; Do Something v Best Breeds Are.

R, F. Deter. XfOR the last several days the ' papers have carried news of rob beries, burglaries, holdups and theft in and near Portland. Motorists have been relieved qf their valuables on the highways, victims have been repeatedly held up on the public streets, and houses have been ran sacked by day and by night. . It. has been almost as perilous to stay at home or out of it as. it was during the crime wave of the winter. Portland and Multnomah county maintain three separate law enforc ing bodies. There is a police depart ment, a sheriff's office and a con stable's office. They are costing a great deal of money. The money spent in maintaining all the law en forcing agencies is theoretically sup posed to be saved in burglaries pre vented and loot recovered. During the last week or two the public seems to have been on the losing side of the game. . '. j . And the difference would be felt at Washington in the coming elections and by business In the decreased buying power thatj could only result from plastering the great, burdens of government taxes j on thefpshoulders of ithe people who can least afford to pay them. But that 'is precisely what is to happen if the excess profits tax, the' surtax on incomes and the transportation tax on freight and passengers are to be repealed and the money raised through taxes on other things that the averagi man uses. i What would please the public. however, and what the public de mands, rich and poor alike; is, as Mr, Mondell says, a lifting of the taxes rather than .a shifting. . The public wants fewer ! expenditures and smaller expenditures. The people only want the money spent that must essentially be spent, no more.-, ; And they want It to be spent In a way that will react to the benefit of the people, not tb. thelr destruction." An4 f the public' is to get what it de mands from this administration, a lifting of taxes and expenditures for jhe public good, the, armament ex penditures must be curtailed. & li T The. collapse of the Des Moines street railway, we are told, is an example of where "a contract is a Contract."

A year ago today he was held In durance vile within municipal boun daries by a gasoline allowance Ranging from & couple of gallons to half a tank full. 1 If be ventured from the city far, there was a large chance of having to walk from a stalled ma chine via dusty! road back to town or the nearest railroad station. i - -' The price was not so high. As remembered, now its pinnacle was 30 cents a gallon, but it was getting the gasoline at any cost that drew the lines of worry . oh motoring brows. - Somi ordinarily honest folk descended to the most reprehensible practices. They . would go to one gasoline station, for instance, get their day's allotment, take It home, drain the tank, go to another filling depot for more, and so on until they had enough for a modest fishing trip.'- - ;;-' When it was announced that phy sicians might' have an extra supply scores who did not know the dif ference between the phalanges and tbe ilium claimed the emergency privilege.' It even became a more or less polite thing to carry a piece of small rubber hose and , transfer the gasoline from unguarded ma chines by the not always pleasant method of personal siphoning. One man, who swallowed a part of the abstracted supply in the act of creat ing the necessary vacuum will, at least, say that the process was not agreeable... - j" r.

Governor Olcott Is enthusiastic over bis recent ascent of Mount Hood with the American Legion. . When he was younger he did lots of climbing while en a surveying party la the CroWs Nest country. In Canada. He has also had the pleasure of sizing- up the summit ef Mount Shas ta, several times, but this - was from the hurricane deck of an airplane. This Is his first time to stand on the summit ef Mount Hood. "Mountain climbing Is like riding in an airplane." said Gov ernor Olcott. "The more you get the more you want. When you have at last stepped over the edge and reached the summit you think you have had enough mountain climbing to last you the rest of your life, but after you have sat down and slid down the mountain on the snow at express train speed for more than half a mila-ybu begin think ing It would be nice to climb Jefferson, Adams, St. Helens end the Three Sis ters. Tea I am eligible to Join the Ma samas now, .and I .want to say that, having climbed Mount Hood. I can be gin to understand their enthusiasm tor mountain climbing. It Is worth all the effort it takes to reach the summit of Mount Hood. - Standing more than two miles above sea level you let your gase sweep the vast 'panorama spread out below. Here and there from the sur rounding plain stand up snowclad sen tinel peaks Jefferson. Adams. Shasta and others- while to the east, like some vast field of gold, lie the widespread wheat fields of Eastern Oregon. Lost lake, the Columbia rtver. the forest clad foothills, blend into a scene of won drous beauty. ' Oregon certainly has un told attractions to offer the tourist. "It takes a lot of self-restraint to climb a mountain and not eat any snow on the way up but most of us were game. When we reached the summit they had a s-gallon oil can on a small oil stove In i which they melted snow and made tea. , I never tasted anything more delicious than that tea, Some of the mountain climbers could not even wait te have the tea brewed but drank the melted snow water and said it was like nectar. We left Hoed River at mid night and reached Portland at 2 a. m. a tired but happy bunch. ' V " were poisoned by some unidentified per son. Their owner. W. E.

Oregon grew the first tobacco la the west, Oregon planted the first potatoes. Oregop canned the first salmon for subsequent world wide distribution. . Oregon was first in the Philippines. . Oregon was first to subscribe her 4 quota of volunteers for -the World IS war. Oregon was first in Liberty loan. War Savings and Red Cross. Oregon was first to locate the sits of her . state building at San Francisco exposition In 191S. Orecron la now first to receive the ladorsesnent of congress for -an ex position which has not yet been fully organized or financed. "When Chicago conceived the Idea of the 1S93 world exposition, said Mr. Gratke, "its delegation ws kicked out of Washington for having the nerve to ask that national body's Indorsement prior to the development of Its plans or the raising of its money. Saa Francisco had to send a special delegation to Washington and shout from the housetops long and loud before congress Indorsed Its claim to Invite foreign nationa Not until Saa Francisco had exhausted every resource at Its command did congress pass its resolution."- - Oregon ta, now to be first to pro claim the peace of the world with an exposition.
