BO FARM AND JOWN TV7HT do not tha fanners of Oregon elect more farmers to the legislature? ; Why have a legislator composed almost exclusively of lawyers? All sources of information from . every quarter show that more than 73 per cent of the taxes In Oregon is paid by real estate, including farms. What better proof that the interests of the farmers have not been ade quately represented 'in .the lawmaking? There Is a widespread notion that only lawyers, are competent to legislate, that they alone can frame and pass bills. What is the attorney general for but to give assistance to any legislator, farmer or otherwise, ia framing: a bill that will pass the test of the supreme court? - ' The biggest industry in Oregon is agriculture. What peculiar fitness have city lawyers, mostly concerned with litigation, lawsuits and fees, in legislating; for the farm life and activities of an agricultural state? Have they made a success of it in the past? Is that success measured by the fact that the farms ot the state are: taxed out of all proportion to much Other property? If so, ia it not time for a new deal? ' This article is no quarrel with lawyers. Theirs is an honorable prO' fession and .many lawyers are exemplary in. that profession. They jfill an Important place in human society. But most of the good lawyers are too busy to go to the legislature Some lawyers go to the legislature, to serve secret interests; Some go to Salem and for quiet work, done there come back to Portland and receive crumbs of business dropped from the tables of corporations. The legisla tion that some of them initiate or support is not, in the very nature of things, likely to be good legislation ror Oregon agriculture. Every large group ought to be represented in the legislature. Legisla tion should be -for the service of all, not a narrowed few. According to population, agriculture ought to have a larger number of legislators than any other; group. But they have never had, and they never will have it, and they never will have a square deal at Salem until they increase their membership in the body where laws are made and taxes imposed. Farm legislators are a leaven in the lump. The last legislature was one of the best that Oregon has had in a generation. The better record of the session was largely due to the presence of an unusually large farm representation in the house. It has been seen what a great service the so-called "farm bloc" in con gress is rendering American agriculture. The sam- thing can be done in the state legislature if the farmers, who have t)ie votes, will demand such membership in the body as their numbers and the importance of their industry entitle them to.

Bishop Paddock foresees accurate ly the coming time when the truth uttered by Woodrow Wilson and the ideals enunciated by him will be ac claimed without regard to boundary or time. There have been recent demonstrations which showed how near to the public heart the Wilson ideals are today. His service to hu mankind, multiplied and perpetu ated, will shine through the Founda tion that bears his name. , TOTJ sense now if you didn't be fore, thp menace of the "farm bloc." E. D. . Smith & Co, New Yortc bankers and brokers, tell you.' IJere is what-they say in a special bulletin: It is Inconceivable that the great East ern business and banking interests will endure for long the meddlesome discrim ination of politics dominated by the Middle West Kver since Senator Knox '41d last fall it has been ap parent that the business interests of the Kast were not being represented In con gress in a way commensurate 'with the vital import of this section of the coun try. In all probability the fear will now be confirmed that conservatism in the senate aa represented by the leader ship of the Republican party will yield to the radicalism ot tho "farmer bloc." There is nothing to do but to hope and pray, and. It the worst comes. to be resigned. Think of the politics of the -senate being dominated by the pestilential West without tire ' "great business and banking inter ests ot the East" having a look in! " We have had wars and pestilence and might have a famine. We have had earthquakes, tornadoes and the chinch bug. We have had the populist and the crime of '73. and! we have Henry Ford. We have had the measles, the whooping cough and the closed shop. But who ever ' supposed that we would come to the pass . when the century-old and sovereign right of the "great busi ness and banking interests of the East" to exercise personal domlnloji over congress, would be challenged by a nasty and meddlesome little "farm bloc?" In the language of the old Scotch man's prayer, "Oh, Lord; send doon swords "an" pistols an' daggers, as monle as the sands of the seashore to - kill' the Kenyons, the Cappers, the McNarys and the other bloc pirates. "dom their souls forevermore." In Flora, Or., a correspondent be moans the existence there of five middle aged bachelors and blames their inability to procure mates on a tendency of girls to seek husbands who will provide homes near the Mright lights. Can the girls be blamed? Maybe they have heard about the drudgery of a farmer's wife or the prices , he gets for his products. Perhaps they figure that a better catch might he a commis sion merchant or a restaurant pro prietor. dustry in action Is quite as interest ing in factories and workshops as in show windows.

PORTLAND'S DEEP CONCERN THERE is deep concern in Portland over the proposed $30,000,000 marine merger for operating ships on the Pacific. - There may well Be such concern. This port has been working out its maritime destiny in its own way, un aided and uncouneeled by other Pa cific ports. It has been exceedingly successful in its plans, as indicated by the port statistics of 1921 and the. opening month of 1922 in compari son with preceding years. It is the first time in history when TT0lIdf.Lth.ahu,nA haled. The local thought is that aving demonstrated our' capacity to THE WORLD FLAT? That the Oraln Dealers' associa tion spent more than $72,000 during a period of six months in fighting the farmers' cooperative movement was testimony before a congressional committee Thursday. Why prevent the farmers from organizing? Why a national grain dealers' organiza tion' and no farmers' organization? Why spend big money to keep the farmers disorganised? What better argument could there be for farm ers cooperative marketing? IN THE lFUTtJRE . A the edges there is a wall of 1 to keep foolhardy sailors from turn bling over the rim and that the sky is a vast dome from which the sun, moon and stars are hung like chan deliers, Is taught by Wilbur Glenn Voliva. overseer of a religious sect at Zion City, III. And he has followers. Though thousands of people have Journeyed around the earth and are djmg it every day, he says it is flay with wall of ice on its rim, and he lea others to believe him. Though yo first see the topmast of a distant ship and by that phenomenon know that the surface of the globe Is circular, this man tells his followers that the woifd is flat and they go out and alsrj say it is flat. Ia spite of the demonstrated achievements of science, he de nounces all science as "silly rot," and this crazy fulmination is accept ed ks gospel truth by the niember shlA of his organization. TJhere is only one reason why any body is concerned with these rav ings. ' If Vollva.can dispute estab lished truth and Vonvlnce thousands that established truth is not truth, what is the status of American edu cation ? How many other mountebanks are misleading other thousands if ' not hundreds of thousands of people ? If thousands ot citizens of a sup posedly enlightened nation in the twentieth century accept their lead er's statement that the globe Is flat how many p apple are similarly de ceived into acceptance ot false eco nomic theories, impossible political illusions and unsound formulas on national life? Is it not time for the American people to make war on ignorance? Is It not a high public duty to begin a great drive on illiteracy by extend ing and intensifying every agency of education from the kindergarten to tho college and university? CONCERNING the Woodrow Wll va son Foundation, Bishop Robert R. -Paddock, Episcopal bishop of Eastern Oregon, has written to the publisher of The Journal: My admiration for oar former presi dent grows, rather than diminishes, with the passing months. I counted it a privilege to boost for nooewweU: and X have never seen any reason for Inconsistency In boosting equally for Wilson. Though so differ ent, they each contributed tremendously t the country's good. With ' his contribution to the Foundation Is another paragraph In Bishop Paddock's letter which de- ' serves remembrance for future ret erence. He says: I venture to prophesy that within a comparatively short time now those who rose to power over Wilson's prostrate body wtll find themselves forgotten or ' despised by the nation, and the Ideals and visions of America's great represen tative la Europe will become the stand ard tor a united, peaceful and prosperous wcrld. ........ . , , The Woodrow Wilson Foundation will not be established through a de cUdve change in sentiment toward the mallgners ' of America's war president The Foundation JooVs for ward, hot backward. It proposes Few critics of the Community Chest have appeared this year. One rflAn 1 that trie r?rtAAr Vtaa trnt the promises of business efficiency, lts Prn vlt enterprise. in charity which were made for it successfully operate ships independ ently and in our own way, we should, with a sound foundation laid, go for ward with our own plans unham pered with entangling alliances whereby our independence and suc cess might be endangered. The issue in the present situation Is whether we are to be given equal chance and a square deal by other ports if we enter the proposed merger. Our delegates did not find all the cards, on the table when they went to San Francisco. They were confronted with a cut and dried pro gram and were asked to sign on the dotted line. They were, in fact, not taken into the confidence of those who were acting as managing men. If all was fair and square, they rea son and all Portland reasons, why were Portland delegates not taken Into full fellowship? Portland has a successfully con ducted local shipping company, op erating numerous lines. Its business and its field of operations are ex panding. The port's hinterland as a cargo maker has no equal or near- equal on the coast, a fact of very great, importance in any proposed alliance with other ports. They have no such asset to throw into the com bine. The Chamber of. Commerce is sound in its purpose and is render ing a most important community service in its proposal to fully safe guard the interests of this port at all hazards. That body, after help ing achieve what has been done by Portland in a shipping way, is wholly right in its determination to see that no ground is lost. It was not until we went into the shipping business on our own account that we began to build permanently. In other days, when we relied on outsiders to fi nance shipping lines for us, we met with one miserable failure after an other. The Chamber is entitled to the un divided support confidence and co operation of every local interest in - Cooaolidated Tttm Aejodatioa ' Presenting to the French chamber of deputies the then latest of this winter's bumper crop of treaties, the draft of aa Anglo-French alliance. ex - Premier Briand declared, in the American equiva lent : "You've wanted something for three" years ; I've tried at Cannes to get it for you. fc Here it is ; take it or leave it; I'm through." . As the situation appears over here, the attitude ; of the French press indi cates that unless the treaty is materially modified "the deputies may repeat what the United States senate did to the Ver sailles treaty," as the Hartford Times (Dem.) predicts, though from the Amer ican viewpoint it will he difficult to understand their, position. Although Americans "do not think much of s.- liances, even for , other nations," the Elmira Star Gazette (Ind.) thinks there is not "much to criticise" in the proposed treaty between Great - Britain and France. In it, the paper reports : "Great Britain pledges herself to go to the aid of France with all her fighting pow er, as she did in 1914. if France is at tacked again by Germany. And Brit ain gets her full equivalent, as usual. French militarism is deprived of all legitimate excuse for . being. Britain, moreover, -will have a freer hand to shape the German reparations accord ing to her own ideas, and' to foster the revival of Central European industry. trade and consuming power for the sake of Britain's own business prosperity.' a a a . But the French press feels that in ne gotiating this agreement "the premier has made too many concessions," the Indianapolis News (Ind.) says, and has offered a "one-sided bargain" for French approval. The Houston Chronicle (Ind.) seems to feel the same way about it In its opinion all Lloyd George has done in, the matter is "to sell France an em bossed declaration ot prevailing senti ment" for which France must pay by giving up "her military program, her idea' of coercing Germany, her unyield ing ; posture toward reparations,-" and she does all this merely in exchange "for something which the whole world stands ready to give without recom pense." Nevertheless the guarantee now of fered France Is exactly -what she has been insisting upon and the alliance will certainly be of greater value to her than to England, most American writers be lieve. Great Britain was not the prime factor in launching such an alliance, it Is pointed out; indeed, it undertook "to guarantee French security," the Balti more News (Ind.) asserts, "only be cause the French announced that they would not play the game under any other conditions," and while the pro posal is meeting with opposition now that it has taken concrete form, the News does not consider it serious, for "the French press," it says. "Is a good deal like the Old Guard, which dies but never surrenders." The New York Times (Ind. Dem.) also does not believe .that "France will miss the chance of striking hands with England in an agreement which would mean so great benefit io Europe and all the world." COMMENT AND NEWS IN BRIEF The Oregon! Country SMALL CHANGE FARMER AND BANKER An Incident Related to Show What Happens to Producers. Portland. Jan. iO. -To the Editor of The Journal Mr. Harding a short time ago was going to pulverise the farmers' bloc in congress. ' bat en sizing . up the situation he concluded to join the organ iaation himself and work from the inside. He called a farmers conference. and In his opening speech made them feel her was almost as much in favor of their interests aa he was last fall before 'tee election, but Informed them they must help themselves ; which re minds me of a little circumstance that occurred under my own observation, a few years ago up In the Big Bend in the state of Washington, where from one to two out of every three farms were in the hands of the banks or ot ttome mortgage company. The main crop there is wheat Jim Hill had told tne wheat men in May 'that wheat would go down to 70 cents in September or October, but it was around - $1 then. The wheat ranchers there, as Is usual everywhere, go to the bank at harvest time and Ret money to carry them over harvest and threshing, on 90 days at 8 per cent or over. Well, around Oc tober 1 wheat went down to 70 cents as per arrangement A small fruit rancher, No. 1. had borrowed $50 from the banK 60 days previously and for some reason wanted a renewal of SO days on his note. On his way to the bank he fell in with two wheat ranchers, Nos. 2 and 3, on the same errand. Their grain was in the warehouse. Insured and safe, and they did not want to sell at 70 cents. All three went into the bank at the same time. Nos. 2 and 3 spoke first- wanting an extension of three months, for they were sure wheat would be $1 by January L They were in formed the bank had strict orders not to renew anv notes. Then No. 1 steppeo up to the window with his request with Nos. 2 and 3 still in the Dana. jno. x tnld to come back In two or three Aovs and thpv would attend to his case- He went back and got nis extension u right You see he had no wheat to ell. and as Jim Hill owned the railroad and most of the warehouses and the bank, of course they wanted the wheat at 70 cents. And this Is the kind of Viir that crowd all want the farmer to have, and no other, and In case . he insist a on anv other he must be sup' pressed at once.

With the consummation of such an alliance "the best argument ' of the: French chauvinists will be gone," the Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier (Dem.) thinks, since "with England definitely bound" to stand by France, that country can no longer defend its military policy. For "while the British fleet controls the North sea and is pledged to the defense of France," the New York World (Dem.) is convinced that "there is not even a lunatic in Germany who would risk a war." Thus with "the moral disarmament of Ger many assured the moral disarmament of France must follow," and the proposed alliance "offers France the opportunity to clear herself of the suspicion that she possesses a budding militarism ot her own." Indeed the Chicago Tribune (Ind. Rep.) is hopeful that a way is now open "for a revision of the French program that will make everybody happier." Prl marily intended "to guard France against possible German aggression, the Boston Herald (Ind. Rep.) thinks that "in Its working the alliance will necessarily take a larger scope, and if it is used wisely it may do much to im prove and stabilize both political and financial conditions in Europe." From that standpoint it is of vital interest to the United States, in the opinion of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.), for "in permitting and aiding in the revival of j European industry it will quickly create a demand for material and foodstuffs that we can supply, and the stability that will be established, will gradually restore sound financial conditions, mak ing credits safe and interchange of com merce profitable." France and England "have drifted so far apart in the three short years since the victory," observes the Aberdeen -(S. D.) World (Ind.), "thafthey glare at each other now across the channel," and one of the important achievements of the alliance, , the Indianapolis Star (Ind. Rep.) agrees, will be to "restore the solidarity between the two allies which existed during the war." a a Although the Grand Rapids Press (Ind.) holds that American participa tion in the alliance will not be neces sary, since "Belgium and Italy are re ported to be ready to join and the four- power arrangement thus created would be sufficient for any eventuality during many years to come." the Providence Journal (Ind.) pleads for America to "buttress" Great Britain's action "With a pledge of the same sort" for we can give it "and stilj proclaim our avoid ance of entangling alliances." and "such a declaration will do more for the aboli- TtTTT.RS FOR GRADING Apple Grower Disputes That They Were Made to Benefit Growers.

Facts About the Income Tax 4 SUBTAX RATKS Taxpayers are reminded that the surtax rates, which apply only to net income in excess of $5000, also are unchanged for the year 192L Letters received by the bureau indicate the Impression in the minds of the writers that the lowered surtax rates are ap plicable to net income for the calen dar year 1921. Under, the revenue act of 192L the surtax rates for that year range from 1 per cent on the amount of net income between $5000 and $(000 to (2 per cent on the amount of net income in excess ot $1,000,000. For the calendar year 1922 the surtax rates rang from 1 per cent on the amount of net Income between $6000 and (10,000. to 50 per cent by which the net income ex ceeds $200,000. The period for filing returns (if the taxpayer makes return on the calen dar year basis) Is from January 1 to March 15. 1922. Thia year, -as last the tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return, or in four lnstallmenta. due on or before March 15, June 15, September 15 and De cember IS. Forma 1040A for In comes of $5000 and leas, and 1040 for Incomes in excess of $5008, will be sent to persons who last year filed returns of 1920 income. Failure to receive a- form, however, does not re lieve the taxpayer of his obligation to file a return and pay the tax within the titme prescribed. Copies of these forms may bs obtained at the offices of collectors . of Internal revenue, branch .offices, and banks. h The return, sworn to before a no tary or other person authorised to administer . an oath, must be tried with the collector of Internal reve nue for the district ia which the tax payer lives or has his principal place ot business. . r
