ELIMINATE THE DELAY
CONDITIONS have reached the
v-i stage In Portland Where it is
imperative, that the city commissiort
adopt-measures to relieve the prosV
cnt traffic congestion.
Traffic is delayed in the down-!
town section. It is delayed on the
. bridges. ; And it is tremendously
delayed getting to the bridges.
The congestion In the downtown
district delays deliveries from com
mercial establishments. -Delay is
costly to them. - The congestion de-
j lays' people who. have 'come' down-
. town "to do' business. - ""j .
"The congestion on the bridgea de
lays people going to and from work.
But much worse than onhe bridges
is; thi congetioi on streets V.ap
proaejting them. " . "" -
-tCOngestion In"the downtown dis
trict.may be'relleYed through adop
tion of the proposed one-way raf
fic'ofdlnance, -OR,-If hot by-that
means, it la tho.duty of the council
to find another solution. And cer-
.tiinly a solution must be found for
the delay in reaching-the bridges.
; Why not - open u streets ap-
preaching the bridges that are not
now open ? Is ;lt not possible by
that method to relieve that conges
tion ? And why not during the con
gested hours between 4 - and 7 " P

bridge approacheB, .to. allow 'a full

,THE - FEUDWITH PORTLAND
THE income : tax amendment is
; overwhelmingly "beaten. There
is resentment, in Oregon against
Portlandr "To some extent the land
slide to Fierce is an "expression of
that resentment."" '.It. was a revolt
of the farmers' group and the minor
groups closely allied with. the farm
ers."? They will continue to be heard
from , In, publio affairs in Oregon
for some time, to corned : v V I
, If yoii want to know' why there
Is up-state resentment against Port
land -you will "find some of the ex
planation in the income tax amend
ment and its history, In Portland
there is a group of men of large
means who want no ' income tax.
because they largely escape taxa
tion. Outside of Portland sentiment
for an Income tax has been crystal
Ilzing with- rapidity" into a move
ment. This Portland group saw
the signs on the horfzon. " ; '
By subterranean means they had
beaten several Income tax bills in
the legislature. They saw the State
Grange preparing a graduated in
come tax bill for submissiorto the
people. Thereupon they hurried to
the front with their income tax
amendment. '
There was no need of an amend
ment. The legislature has author
ity to pass an income tax law. The
purpose of the income tax amend
ment. .: though "; purporting- i to ; be
favorable to an Income tax, was to
restrict the powers of the legisla
ture so that the only kind of in
come tax it could pass was a flat
tax, making the rate the same
against a poor man as against a
millionaire.
And there was another purpose:
By having their measure on the
ballot this Portland group looped to
confuse and divide the vote, with a
chance of defeating both income
tax proposals. That is to say.; the
underlying motive . behind their
amendment was. if possible, to beat
the State Grange, the farmers and
others out of Any kind of income
tax law.
And this further thing happened.
The petitions on both income tax
bills reeked with fraudulent signa
tures. The Portland: group went to
great pains and expense to defeat
the. grange bin, In the courts on the
ground of fraud, Jh! the petitions.
And, though knowing that there
were more; fraudulent signatures on
their , income ' tax measure, - these
Portland men took no steps to have
it taken off the. ballot. ...They were
guilty of duplicity and bad faith
with those people outsider the Port
land city limits who want an Income
tax system installed in Oregon in
order that the burden of taxes may
be equalized.
The people out in Oregon know
all this., r They have' intelligence.
They look nipon this whole case as
a resistance to. all their hopes 'for
equalized - taxation. ? But they do
not stop- to charge this resistance
to a comparatively small group in
Portland but tb the whole city of
Portland. That is to say,, in their
desire to escape taxes this one
group brings resentment upon all
the city . of Portland, and the whole
city of Portland is held responsible.
That is one reason why the up-state
voted against the 192? fair enabling
bill-1- " - " - - . -

THE FARMERS TOTE
X 'LOCAL paper, commenting on
a, the ; tremendous Democratic
sweep in the national elections,
charges.: that the farmers of the
Central West and the West, because
of the lack of markets for their
products and the consequent' losses
to them, voted against the admin
istration to V'get even.- -: The v ine
ference is that the i administration
had nothing' to do with the lack
of markets. 'J...'i.--?r;- J f '- i ? i ';- j ?y
7 The administration for two years
has been espousing the theory of
isolation. That same paper espoused
th at theory. " Adm 16 istratlon lead
ers and that newspaper insisted that
we should have nothing to do with
Europes that we .should, take no
part in economic parleys, in '. f inan
cial parlejs, or In any other parleys
to promote friendship and trade and
a" return to normal world conditions;
Both sponsored the present .tariff

,The" farmers . of the : West?' and
Central West now. know what those
policies cost them. They know what
became - of their-'raarJteta-They
know that Europe cannot buy from
us' if Europe has no money; and no
credit.' They-know that" Europe
cannot buy. with anj im possible ex-'

The- farmers of the rWest and
Central West know that their prod,
ucts used -to go to .Europe in large
quantities. They know that they are
going in reduced quantities now. -
Had this government taken "Its
part in international affairs C- we
would .. now have better European
markets." Had we joined -with the
other nations to restore the fin&n-j
ciaT stability of the world it could!
have-been restored. " Hid we joined
with, them to. restore economic sta
bility it could have been restored.
With their restoration, and without
a prohibitive tariff, the farmers of
the West and -Middle. West would
have bad markets and tney would
not have- been compelled to face
the tremendous losses they have
sustained. , j ! -
Were they wrong in voting for a
different policy? Was that a vote
to "get even or wae it a vote to
save their property and their fam
ilies? . Or are families and property
things to which they. haveVio right ?
TO AMERICANIZE
IN THE turmoil of war men of the
American Legion proved ; them
selves capable of undertaking tasks
of enormous proportions. . -
The war has lon been over, but
ihej Legion carries on as a servant
of the nation. . Recently it an
nounced a program to eliminate all
iUiteracy by 1927. -;
Beginning December 3, a week
will be devoted to American educa
tion. Members of the Legion will
visit the schools. . They will ! en
courage the foreigners in the coun
try to go to night schools and to
become citizens as soon as possible.
On each day. of the week spme
phase of education will be empha
sized. It is -a creed of the Legion
that the "children of today ar4the
citizens of tomorrow -and -eyery
effort should be made to bring! the
youth up not only with 'a. iwell
founded education but with reflect
for, America and American Institu
tions as welL f'Vt- - ' j
Perhaps the greatest boon of this
program will be to the foreigner.
It has been too much the general
policy to leave these stranger '-.to
their own resources. In ; aiew
country. with great ideals, hey
often fall Into wrong ways, and it
is then too late to remedy eririors.
What the Legion proposes to do is
to give these people the opportunity
to learn America's ideals, and then
raid them in making the best of j the
opportunity.
While but one week has been set
aside, officials of the( Legion, oth
state and, national, are positiv in
stating that the week Is merely to
arouse the interest of every citizen.
The work of the Legion, .'exempli
fied, by the Americanization clabsea
now being conducted in Oregon,
they say will go on until the igoal
has been reached.
All that the Legion asks is co
operation from the nation and! the
people of the 'nation to Insure ithe
future of the United States by! In
stilling true American ideals i into
the future generations and jthe
foreignerscoming to our shores. It
Is little to ask, end far too much
to deny. ! '
Curses and chickens haven't Any
thing on political promises in ithe
matter of cminr home to roost.
THE FINAL DECISION U
THREE New Tork- men Have
fc filed a bill of rights with Ithe
supreme court of New York i and
asked that it be approved as a
charter for their organization.?;
The bill upholds the following
Tights'':
To protect the husband from per
formance of any and all household
duties and assure him homercofctked
meals, prepared "by the wife. iy
To prevent visits from mothers-
in-law. except on written perinits
signed, by officers of the association,
said permits. not to be issued; on
Sundays and holidays.!
' To prevent reference by the wife
to defaults t or deficiencies of ithe
husband.' - , ? j .u ,i
To develop caveman methods! for
the discipline of Jealous,; nagging
or nnruxy wives. , r.-t; --jji -;t
To establish the husband's right
to dictate the length or; his wife's
dresses and hair. - - . '
The members -of the association
are apparently ambitious men. They
seek more ; than 7 most husbands
would even dream of, and not dare
ask. - ; -? ;i :v-n,7:. v.;!
eoi ir au tneir rights were
granted, if they received all they
asked, and if everything came j out
their way. Just .what would tihey
do if their wives should decide to
aorogate those rights? They must
remember that"; when wives make
up their, minds, their minds j are
made up. And that Is a good time
for husbands to accept the decision
as final. . . . - ; it it

Daily Editorial Digest
(Consolidated Press AsaocUtioB) - 1
The appeal "by Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler fofr-"an honest and sincere di-
vision of political forces in this coun
try," to be secured through amalgama
tion of. the Republican and Democratic
parties and wnich would have the
"American people move toward higher
ground in International relations' has'
met with practically ho approver from
the press of Vie country. Dr. Butler's
declaration follows a variety of sug
gestlons for the organization of a new
party before the next! presidential. elec
tion,, but -opinion seems general' that!
Should any such party tie organised it
must prove its right to existence on a
domestic program that will satisfy the
great mas r of the American people
rather " than upon one where inter
nationalism is the ehief issue. Dr. But-
Ser"s fears of radicalism - triumphing
generally are considered hardly war
ranted by existing conditions. -
- "Have we outgrown the old order?"!
asks the Washington Star (Ind.) in dis
cussing the ; international "suggestion;
"Is the form et government shaped
and established by the fathers, and so
greatly praised afterward by the out-i
side world, and under which We have
accomplished so much, now out of date?
Shall it be discarded for something
new? And shall that somethingr grow
out of a division of the world into
three administrative areas,'-as outlined
by Dr. Butler? The American people,
we -may all be sure, will, if they take
this . proposition under consideration
think long and soberly before adopt
ing 1L It Is a cut in advance of any;
of the other propositions that have re-,
cently been Offered." "There is con
siderable significance In Dr. Butler's
appeal," the Chicago News (Ind.) feels.
Inasmuch "as he does not stand alone
by any means. Recently Frank A.
Munsey made a like plea for a new
liberal-conservative party, and severely
arraigned present day Republicanism
and present day Democracy as oppor-
tunUt, unprincipled and divorced from
the. . issues that matter and that bn-j
peratlvely demand solution along posi
tive lines.-; Lindley Garrison, for a
time secretary of war in President Wil
son's first cabinet, hae' ventured the
prediction that a new party .would come
into existence before the next presi
dential election.' The feeling is wide
spread that existing party names and
party labels have lost their meaning."
Yet, after all, conceding , that there
may be much force to. all of the re
cent suggestions, and especially to that
of Dr. Butler, "on paper,", the Newark
News (Ind.) feels that "before the two
old parties can be made to unite, how
ever, there will have 1 to be some
stronger ' reason for it than Dr. But
ler's fear of a spent force like radl
callBm.". " ; - . . .." . '
- i-t'' '; . '.-? f
"Dr. Butler's idea of separating and
segregating the conservatives and radi
cals in different camps is not original
with him.' says the Knoxville Senti
nel (Ind. Dem.), "but th trouble would
come with the task; of dividing tha
sheep from the goats and correctly
classifying them. Dr. Butler has chosen
a most unfortunate time to sound the1
tocsin against the peril of subsersivcj
radicalism. For if there is any cieaaj
cut fact in the world situation today j
It is the fact that revolutionary radl-
calism is a spent force. Possibly the
real spectre that excites and affrights
Dr. Butler Is the impending disinteirra-i
tion and destruction of the 7.000,000
majority party to which all the radl-(
cals and discontented, flocked in 1920
and which they are said to be prepar-i
ing to desert the next national turn of
the wheeL" , It is the oplnioft of the1
Atlanta Journal (Dem.) that "most of
s can get along freely enough with
two parties. People who are 'sick of
both parties' may have excellent reaJ
sons for being so, but as a rule, though
history presents notable exceptions, the
constructive ' reformer learns to work
from within. Americans, ; when thes!
observe pre sent entanglements in ' even
so commonplace a country as England,
may well, be content with only twq
major parties and pray never to bj
pestered: with 19.' National aims of
the major parties differ within taem-j
selves in the several state, the New!
York World (Dem.) points out, as "the
president and vice president are - the
only nationally' elected officials In-- our
government, "and they are elected by si
coalition of state parties which changes;
from one election to another, But, ia
congress, : as in the states themselves
the determining thing is not the nai
tional platform but the state or- sec-j
tional party alignment That is the
reason why La Follette and Lodge, and)
Ladd and Butler and Munsey, semvto
live together In. one party. Actually!
they live In their state parties, rarely)
meeting and rarely cooperating except;
once in four years to elect a president!
The local divisions are the healthiest
part of our political system and it, is
at least doubtful whether two highly
centralised national parties with fixed;
and constant creeds would Je an tm-i
provetnent. In a nation that has the
scale of a continent there is something;
to be said for illogical diversity "as
against logical uniformity."
.:! - ' ; 4-; ,;:v
" Even "putting the plan over," th
Raleigh Times (Ind. Dem.) points -out
"is not so easy. There atre nice think
ing people who, in spite of the prod
ding pushing, nagging and puzzling!
of the UUberais, have attained and stilt
retain positions of honor, trust and
emolument that they are loath to leave
The country ; might have much to gaini
by their leaving the old parties in the.

Of course. If the radicals decide to
throw the liberals out Of both parties
there might j be some hope of forming
Doc Butler's RepubUcan-DernbcratUf
organisation!; but. the resultant partv
would be an! outgrowth ot that misery
whose love for company has become
axiomatic and not the product of liber-)
alism in political thinking," The Bingl
ham ton Press (Ind.) suggests that
"sometbodv euerht to tell Dr. Butler thd

In 1920 the fcombiried vote -of the So4

Butler. That he would consent to as-l
hoc la tion -with Democrats." evtn to com4
bat radicallam is condescension In th
nth degree. -The Democratic party has
weaaered every storm in the history o
the country and it has been-entrtrsted

political problem, .particularly - that of

Editor of The -Journal The asexual
abnormality recently j, discovered - by
haw York doctors is no less than.
startling. ;."lt is. however, certainly a
mistake to suppose that this phenom
enon is atavistic , This fromj the fact
that if such it would of necessity be
a "throwback" to a time when the fore
bears of - present day-man - were unl
sexed and multiplied jthrough fission
a period' probably, o more than 100,
000,000 years. Rather is it an exag
gerated instance of biological travesty.
Atavistic throwbacks are not uncom
mon, but they are' more frequently
manifested through the mental than
through the physical system. Many of
the hypnotic hallucinations of no-call ed
spiritualists are undoubtedly atavistic.
Those Who . haver read Professor T. H.
Flournoy's wonderful book. "From In

vinced that while under hypnotic in

man, less wise, thinks all of life is
gone when the green passes out. The
