Nothing could do more to check the rising tide of taxes In Oregon and to put an end to the follies In the legislature than such a reTlvtflcatlon of the opposition as would giro the Republican organisation s. vacation In which it could enjoy a much need ed rest from ruthless sad undisputed direction of public affairs.

TT HAS been announced from Wash Ington that there will be a saving ef 1 7 apiece to every man. woman and child In the country Jo taxes this year through the operation of the new revenue bill. In one sense, the- statement Is norreot. Practically, it is not There will be $700,000,000 less . taxes to pay. But the public will net share equally in the reduction. There Is no eseeae profits tax. The repeal of that tax will save the mil . llonalre owners of corporations far "more than 17. And it will auto matically place a heavier burden on the people who consume the prod ucts. Of the corporations. The big V eoncems could not shift the excess profits taxes. They can shift a straight corporation tax which has replaced the excess profits tax. Nor will the saving to those with tremendous Incomes be limited to ST. The surtaxes were reduced 16 . per cent. That means a tremendous saving to those people, whose in comes are above flO 0,000 a year. They save more than $7 and there fore smaller taxpayers save leas. That ta the great failure of the revenue bill. Those who can afford to pay taxes were permitted large red action a The man ot average means will obtain little relief. Such taxation is faulty taxation, based on the 'wrong principle and applied in the wrong place,. rpHE seizure in Portland Saturday A night of narcotics valued at 453, 000 at the retail price, gives a glimpse at the extent of the illicit dope traffic in this city. It follows a seizure of $110,000 worth a few weeks ago. How many thousands worth of the terrible stuff has gone undiscovered to the hapless victims? How many doped youth and doped maturity have been dragged down to a living death by the unscrupu lous vendors? What more Important local issue is there in Portland than to find a way to put an end to the destructive traffic? A federal narcotics Inspector says: I have heard boys say that their tongues and llpa have been numbed by the ether In contraband liquor, and when One preacher has found how to reverse the complaint that pleasure in automoblllng deters church at tendance.

But In spite of that, France has demanded far more armaments than she ap parently needs for purely defensive purposes. And, owing the United States as she does, refusing to, come within reasonable limits on arma ments as she does, why should the money owed to this country be squandered in an armament spree? Why should this nation extend credit to France to build huge armies and a tremendous fleet of submarines? Why should we finance French mili tarism ?

The woman, the mother, we never - saw. We did not call. We paid no attention other than idle curiosity.

Tne days grew shorter and colder, and just at the turn when they were shortest and coldest, one of the little girls came over and said her mother waa sick. We went over then, and we could see she was a very sick woman. An aunt was sent for. and the doctor. The doctor arrived in his big black automobile. It did not take him long to diagnose the case. The little woman lay with her face to the wall, still as death. The doctor deoarted tn his fine automobile. and a neighbor woman came in and mentioned a hosDltal the county hos pital.

TO the Editor of The Journal W111 Payne in the Saturday Evening Post of December S4 says we discover in our midst a movement to have the government turn out fiat money in a refined, modern form of bank credit His first right-hander is to assert that anybody who had any sense ought to know better. Mr. Payne should judge not lest he be judged. Ilia great argu ment Is to cite Russia, a country that has killed its monarch and is in a state of revolution, its people lighting ana killing one another and having no eta bllity of government A man who will compare this great republic to Russia makes me feel almost like challenging his patriotism. Look at Germany knocked but and crippled, doing business on fiat paper money. Her factories are humming. Her laboring people are not out of Jobs, as they are In this country.! Her furnaces are lighted and she is making agricultural implements out of hei junked cannon and swords. Her grods are selling In all parts of the world. Her toys were selling in is Christmas in La Grande and Portland for about -half what ours were. This greenback money has been thoroughly tested in this country. When the Civil war broke out we had neither money nor guns to fight witn. wits paper legal tender they financed the war. I suppose Lincoln and congress didn't have any senea. We not only fought this war but had the beet times this country had ever seen. Those good times would have stayed with us but the money power got Into the saddle, as it is now. They went ts taking m tnia greennacK money and burning it and putting the ashes into interest bearing bonds. The green back party grew so fast they got scared and congress passed a law saying the further destruction of the greenbacks shall be stopped, and $348,000,000 was saved from the fire, and they arc still dolna- business at the old stands the beat money we ever had, and these greenbacks and our gold certificates are the (Only real legal tender money we .have. Payne asks : Shall we give the' farm era credit through the federal reserve banks? He answers most emphatically. no. Now ia there a man of good sense, as Payne says, that can deny that some thing must oe soner uoneeatraiea wealth is not going to be taxed to -pay our war debt Their money is fast going into Interest-bearing bonds and other securities to evade taxation. See how interest oa the bonds baa gone up since they have got them out of the hands bf the common people, we. our children and our children's children will be taxed into bondage. New for the remedy.
