NO TAXEDUCTION1
TT IS evident that the 'taxpayer ."of
small income need expect no re
duction in federal; taxes., for. some
time to come. .Three amendments to
i the tax bill drawn to relieve the bur
den on the man of small Income were
defeated In the "'senate ' Mondavi
Moreover, discussion- that has urged
a lighter burden on the small tax
payer was characterized by Senator
Watson of Indiana, a member of the
majority, as "irrelevant talk" s
; The portents indicate a far greater
possibility of increased taxes for the
wage-earner, the farmer, the profes
' slonal man and the small business
' man. The increase will be bidderf ift
i a tax scheme1 which will attempt to
It get the mon,ey without permitting the
man of limited income to know thai
he is paying taxes, but he will . pay
them just the same if the present
I congressional program is carried
; through. He will-"pay them ; in the

WRESTLING WITH TRAFFIC
"PORTLAND was wrestling with the
-a- traffic problem as year ago.
Portland is still wrestling - with the
problem '4 ahd '.Portland .is going to
wrestle with . the problem.' until the
city council takes effective measures
to solve It. .
-There have been various proposals
tor solution. Committees have made
recommendations; the -police traffic
department has made recommends.-j-
tlonsi and various other bodies, or
ganized and otherwise, have made
-them. Some were adopted. A dele
gation of business men came before
the. council and irotested and they
were -rescinded. A different proposal
was then adopted, there was protest,
and it was rescinded. It 14 off again,
on; again, gone again Finnegan.. - ' i
It will be a difficult matter to find
a solution of the traffic problem that
will suit everybody. There will al
ways be protests.' And if every pro-j
test is heedojfT there, will always be
traffic problem. f
Perhaps the, recent regulations
were not efficacious. Perhaps they
worked hardships, Perhaps , they
were discriminatory. Perhaps- they.
should have been , removed. But
Where is .it all to end, and when is
the city council going into the traffic
problem wholeheartedly and work
out a plan that will permit business
to , go on unhampered and vehicles
to i roll unimpeded through -. the
streets? .When is the council going
to find such a plan, establish it, and
Stick to it? ' ' - --'v.- r;
Portland : has' a traffic .problem
that few cities are compelled to face,
The thoroughfares . are narrow and
the blocks short, , But there Is just
so much room on the streets. How
is -the space-to be utilized?
The first consideration is traffic.
It. must be enabled to move freely
on every street. If it cannot move
people can neither' get to stores, to
their homes, nor any place else with-'
in a reasonable period. Then, it is
the duty of the council ' to provide,
frst of all, a sufficient space for
traffic to-. move ; through with . dis
patch. If that can be done, and part
of the streets
purposes, let .
still, used for storage
the parking go -on.
Otherwise' there must be restricted
parking.
The one-way traffic plan has
solved the prpblem In other cities.
Perhaps it would ; here. . Perhaps
some other innovation is needed. But
whatever the solution is it is time' for
the council to find it, put it ' into
effect and keep it in effect.

TO A ST. HELENA'
Banished! ; 'v J
, Like Napoleon, Karl came back
rom. Elba. Like -Napoleon, -he goes
to SU Helena. ' Only in this, have the
two anything in common.
' .' A Serbian lunatic Bhot a prince of
the 'bouse ofr Hapsburg.' That was
hot the cause of the great war. It
was" made the -pretext. : ;
, , The guns in Austria were bristling.
The gutiSi in Germany were frown
ing: ' The war lords in both chafed.
Krupps saw immense demand for
arms and munitions just ahead, and
J beyond that' a triumphant : Germany
with extended borders, holding peo
ples in subjection by force with fur
ther demand for the output of the
great gun works.' y;. ; '
- The two kaisers met . in secret
council. Karl was weak and Wil-
r'llam strong. There the. ultimatum
to Serbia was .'framed.' Karl took it
back .to Vienna and proclaimed it.
The Serbian madman's crime could
have been settled at a court trial.
One life c.ould have been the forfeit
it could have gone into history as a
tiny splash on the big ocean of life.
It was a nothing, a cipher, a dead
leaf in the vast human scheme.
But the kaisers, at least one kaiser,
wouldn't let ftf go that wa.y. ' There
had been .military - conquest before.
The long trail down the history of
the world was strewn with the
Wrecks and skeletons of -conquest.
A conquest : was ordered. The
chafing war chiefs flew to their
posts. The guns were hurried to the
front.. The bugle calls, shrieked and
snarled throughout a continent Then
the crash came, . ; . "
Across the border In Holland, one
kaiser is a virtual prisoner. , He
waits for the shifting tides of human
affairs to make the moment for him
pto come back from Elba. Some day.
like Kaiser Karl, he may make the
attempt- Such . things have " been,
done many a .time in the past. The
coups of history, are a tragic record
of the . incompetency of;! the unac
customed' Eurojean mass in affairs
of state.,, If AVilliam does attempt to

Everybody eems to be afraid to point

mind you,: these profiteera are' going to

each in 'his class, a-" .1 - ; i - :
c.Yott can't buy a barrel of flour' from

Even the fellows who run suburban
trucks ever the pavements paid for with
the millions that have been sandbagged
oat of ' the automobile owners, have
doubled rates since the pavements were
built, are charging all the traffic, will
bear, .regardless of pavement or dis
tance. 1 know - trucker : who charged
$1.60 a ton hauling 26 miles out of Port-
land - on -a macadtm " road a few-years
ago, but is now charging $3.75 a ton over
a pavement, i Another .trucker, hauling
over a cement pavement to Oswego, only
seven miles, 5is. touching'em up to the
tune of M a ton, , These two cases illus
trate the incongruities of the whole truck
freighting' game, and the absurdity of
paying out millions for paved highways
for moving the necessaries of life be

'Takej Cor illustration, a few of the
basic commodities. I will use the fig'
urea from the' Portland daily papers.
A few years .ago patent flour was 1.40
from the grocer' to the consumer. , To
day, with wheat down to a dollar, the
Portland mills are charging $1.75 and
the consumer pays the grocer aroun
12.15. Small wonder the Portland mills
can float 8 per cent bonds and pay out
with a profit. They are today offering
the "farmer $23 per ton for whole "oats,
but , after the oats are run through- a
grinder and the livestock feeder drives
up to the mill door he has to ladle out
$36 for a ton of the. same.. Eleven dol
lars a ton for merely grinding the oats.!
Yet, I can go out to Sherwood. - where
a modest little mill is grinding feed for
the farmers, and . X can get my oats
ground - for -$3 a ton and the mill is
doingjveiy yell at that.
it is the- same or worse with barley.
Your paper today quotes Portland mill
ers offering $23 a ton for .barley. But
the man with a few .hPgs-tbTeed has to
pay ae ror.a ion at ine mm aoor, wnat
would you call tlus---pronteering7
Anybody can "go down to a Front street
commission house and buy, a first-class
dressed hog from a farmer, any day, at
12 to 14 cents a pound. That hog is
ready, to cut up on the block and the,
cheapest cut in -the -'hoar '' is a shoutde
steak. But when you caff at your near-1
e.rbutcher
separates-you from 25 cents a pound for
a - steak . off the shoulder, and he will
charge you 0 cents for a pound of the
sausage that he makes from the scraps.
These butchers in the city markets will
tell-you it is high rent, high labor, and
various other buncombe.-' Then how
about the suburban market- in the near
by village, where the butcher is his own
laborer and his shop is a shack? He is
charging just the same prices as above
quoted because he can get them. I talked
with one of them yesterday. I asked
htm what he would pay me for a nice
200-pound" hog. Hei replied, 'tNine cents
a pound. a X said,5! You expect me to
buy, the brood sow, get her "bred,-raise
the pigs, produce ., the,,, feed for growing
them out, and get 9 . cents- a pound, de
livered to you, and then you get 25 cents
a pound for the meatr'Jcj And calmly,
holding his jaw as rigid a he could and
his eyes fairly steady i. be replied : "Yep."
A hog dresses away about 25 per cent,
and the loss between ' the ' hoc on - the
hoof and the block would be 2 cents a
pound. . -. - - . . , .. ' ' '

There is a large class of livestock men
who need alfalfa meal. This is alfalfa
hay ground or chopped into bits. Your

$39 a ton, -according to your market re

Collusion , As the Only,
Ground -for Divorce
Anne , Shannon . Monroe in Good '.
- Housekeeping. - -
The very thing that win positively de
feat an attempt to obtain a divorce
the agreement of the two that it is the
wisest course is the one absolute rea
son -why a decree should be granted.
TM.-we ' nrst agreed to ; ine : union it
wasn't entered into against the will of
either and the two should first agree
to its being dissolved. .Their reasons
should remain their own affair, and the
public prints rescued . from- the : details.
Antagonism la recognised: as a potent
force in chemistry, in the animal king
dom, and by psychologtsls in the human
race. Two; things antagonistic to each
other cannot harmonize; this is. natural
law, t which goes back of man law and
on which manlaw must be based if it is
to be Just and successful, j " Every
mother knows that certain of , her chil
dren, invariably clash,- while , certain
Others : get " along beautifully together,
with only, occasional skirmishea Every
teacher knows' that some "pupila must
be separated from her and sent ta some
other teacher, r She feels the antago
nism' and merely transfers the child, not
in anger, but m understanding.
Bad conduct, on which divorce laws
are mistakenly based. Is 'another thing
altogether. Bad conduct is never final;
it s a flurry, a perking up of unpulled
weeds. Impudent little imps putting up
their heads from hat old original, mire
and wagging their i ises at you but the
weeds can be polled and "i the imps
chased off the premises. ; If you do not
believe this, just go- into1 the history of
great- reformations and see how loath
some' debauchees have turned into godly
men.- Look into your own acquaintances
and; find the chaneed lives litre and
there, aometimee f almost a miraculously
changed. Always the worst outlaw be
comeaJUte most powerful force for good
when he faces about, Sometimes bad
conduct isn't so much the man himself
as it is his ancestors. He harks iback.
It's the call of the wild. . It's the early
mire. Sometimes his bad conduct is in
spired by his very self-satisfied .wife.
A. relation eo intimate as marriage is

LET THE PUBLIC BE FAIR
And. Get Information as to Railway Em-
pioyes at Reliable "Sources. , ..
Portland. Oct.. 23. To the .Editor of
The Journal The. Wall Street gang is-
now very busy .trying t create a massed
public sentiment favoring the railways
and against the, rights and justifiable
claims of the brotherhoods.1 With only
a few exceptions the brotherhoods 'have
little or no access to the regular media
of publicity. They must depend on their
own efforts to bring their case before" the
public, lust as they have had to depend
on their own efforts to wring from their
employers even the commonest wages,
with working conditions to-: which all
men above the slave caste feel entitled.
It is a fact beyond dispute that railway
men have never received any voluntary
increases from the , railroads, regardless
of what "the; economic ' conditions may
have been, but rather have been forced
to protect what they gained by collective
bargaining, by the selection of commit
tees of their own members, who must be
constantly on the alert if they would
retain even the commonest advantage
written In the schedule of working con
ditions. With but few exceptions,' the
railways recognize no moral obligations
to - their employes, and it is common
knowledge that they have openly flouted
some laws .made to protect the pubbo
The- CTarrsportation- brotherhoods have
built their strength not 'upon-a base of
W'Vi8 hardest
and most grisly succession fcf clrcum
stances with which public servants have
ever-been amicted.. It is safe to say
that if men who have been In the service
of railroads fbr years had exerted the
same mental and physical efforts In other
lines they might have had their names in
'Who's Who" long ago.
If the public would be fair it would
come, to the brotherhoods and; receive
that information which it cannot hope to
receive from such organs as the Ore
gon ian or Telegram. The public has no
right to- judge adversely the. brother.

This Writer i Believes 1925 Exposition
Would Be an All-Round Winner. -
Portland. Oct 21. To the Editor of
The Journal Optimism for., the 1925
exposition seems to be rather spotted.
The f inancing," romlng1 m .face of high
taxes, - makes . for pessimism . among
those, who "are afraid. - But it is: my
opinion,, and I think the same opinion
exists among the majority, that it pays
to advertise.. When the Kjolumbia river
highway "bond issue -was first spoken of
the argument was used that we could
not afford to .build a" scenic highway.
Now we have the highway, ft is a' won
derful asset. This improvement alone is
bringing thousands to i, visit us every
year, and those strangers are aeugntea
with our state.--s Many of them remain
or return to Irve'tn Oregon. ' This expo
sition will -benefit Oregon in compari
son, but 'In greater ratio- than , the 1905
fair did. and surely that was the be
ginning of theVprosperity of . the city of
Portland, and- the Uteof Oregon.
