Theyj are issued by many ; Kovern ' -mental ,arenciea - ;' ' -'' f "T " Tha men who buy them collect interest on them, which the tax payers of the country pay,-but th owners don't pay one cent of that -interest toward the maintenance of government in taxes. There Is no tax on revenues from that source. It is an easy loophole for rich tax dodgers. - Their money Is 1 taken from industry and invested In the tax-free securities. -The result Is often a stagnation of industry due to lack of capital.'' - - That .freedom -from taxes was also the excuse; for. Tepeal of the excess profits, ta by the last con- rress. Jt Was argued that, because - capital couldn't make more than 8 TJer;cnt in industry wltbdut paying heavier government taxes, the cap vital want Into tax-free securities. So, instead of taxing the securities, as should have been done, there was an attempt to -right one. wrong by committing another. to.wit: rnnni. ! . u, z me excess ; pro fits t&xj Now , capital can make any profit without paying additional taxes to the gov ernment, save on the; Income tax, and it can be invested In tax-exempt securities and escap the govern ment, toll. The result is that cap ital escaping its share of the cost of government,-while the big body of workers, small business" people, professional men, and employes generally, are compelled, to make up the difference from their slen der incomes, as well as pay interest on the capital invested either in .Big Business or tax-exempt securi ties. . . .. f " . vme oi tne nrsi principles of tax ation is that taxes should be col lected ,frora those who can best af ford to pay.

" ' TP NOT jone-way traffic. .In Port X land.- .what? - If the ordinance whigh ir soon to, bo passed upon by the council im defeated what 'Will take. it place? i : t " Portland cannot ; go on, lndef I nit ly under the present traffic con dltions. : Xiocal streets were eon gested two years ago. Since, there has been a heavy Inereaso In the number of vehicles that ply them. But there has been no . successful attempt to make It easier- for vehicles to proceed. ; Plenty of measures have been recommended to the council. Most of them have been beaten. Those that were adopted were repealed soon after their enactment. Xnd as a result, It now takes about twice' as long for traffic to go' through the congested district as if did two years - ago. " '-; . - - The one-way f traffic plan has been adopted by many cities. Most of them had far less acute -prob lems to face than Portland. But al most every city that has tried the plan has maintained it and many have applied lit to additional thoroughfares. ; Portland's difficulty lies. In the lack of sufficient space for a- free flow of traffic. 1 1 Xiocal streets are narrow. t-They are congested by parking, and often by double park in. Only a' few of the wider streets afford space enough for three lines of traffic, some for two. one in each direction, and under some con ditions there is-room for only one line. ' s ' There are plenty of5 slow-moving is- vehicles Irt Portland. 3 If one heads a line of traffic on art artery where there is but a single line in each direction there is impossible con estion. Tltat congestion may block another thoroughfare running in another direction; and that one, an other in the busy hours of the day. There can be only one result long delay. If traffic Is to be speeded. - up. either more room .must be provided on the streets or a way must .be found': to permit an- easier flow of traffic in the present limited space. The" council tried to provide more space by eliminating parking, on certain streets, out tne plan was soon abandoned.' If that plan is impossible- or the streets are not widened, which is a costly process, there is just one alternative- left and that is to make an easier flow of traffic through the present space, Many experts say one-way traffic will provide for an expedited flow. No other plan has been adopted to attain that purpose. : Is it not then incumbent on the city commission to try,, the one-way plan or offer substitute that will accomplish the same end? . Some people say they think well of the Community Chest as a com munity proposition but they, want toVonduct their own benefactions personally. There Is no quarrel with that ipolnt of view.. Let them meet their community and their personal obligations. It is Tike having two,; guns to shoot where there was but one. "; THE COST OP HATS A T RAVE lil N,G salesman has ' fisrtirArl trint Tii 1tata.MM i.in 1 1 0( apiece, i -lit doesn't pay $ 4 0 In the' original-purchase, only . $4, hut thereafter he pays in timea that much in keeping the 'hat. He figures this way: - . . ' . Twice a day he sits in hotels or; restaurants for hbi meals.: each time he checks his hat. The Ops to the hat-checkers average 10 cents each. ; He wears the hat about six months, and. therefore, has paid $4 in purchase price and about $3 In tips to keep; the hat. - v There Is no question about the Ill-effects or costliness' of the tip ping, system. Iay by day public sentiment is growing against it; Some day it will undoubtedly be abolished "like other things that cannot ttand on their merits. And,, after alW It looks a If economy will eventuaUy demand the abandonment of the tipping system or the elimination of hats, and from both -th standpoint"; of greater economy and that of necessity It Is apparent that people will choose, to retain the hats. Gobble Is what the turkey does and says, but gobbled gobbler Is what he soon will be. - BRIDGE ENGINEERS THE point " Is well mad that s Portland people , would be alow to 1 go .. outside this city for legal service, no- matter "what might be the importance of pending litiga tion. ; . . Neither would they, save in ex ceptional Instances, deem It neces sary: to seek outside medical serv ice. , But when a bridge Is to bo built the first thought Is to turn to out--side bridge engineers. ' Local enjri- neers are instantly placed on the defensive. . They ars on the do- f ensive before the present county commission. Unless they can show as long a photographed " list of bridges constructed as - some out side firm' their competency is sub ject to suspicion. - . That this should bo Is unjustified by any ' precedent established "- by large local organizations. - No one, for Instance, has heard that the Union Pacific or; ths & P. & 8. found it necessary to go outside their own bridge . departments , for engi neering talent, although the latter railroad has- some 910,000.000' In vested In .bridges between Portland and Vancouver, W ash. . v " ; e" -The county 'commission -as: at present, constituted should ramem ber that In 1 a little over a month two" new members,. Constituting majority... will como on the board. The n county - commissioners - elect should ' certainly be eortsulted ' In preliminary plans for the construc tion of -the-- Burssjdo and Ross. Is land bridges.-'- Thq public will hold the commission as reconstituted re sponsible- for the successfoi com pletion. of the bridges.4 . The county commission, ; old or new, should remember, too, that it was principally the people of Port land who voted -the -money' for the bridge bonds, and that they , are di rectly .interested -in the policies to be enunciated. Portland people have shown thelr .Ioyalty to home industry, t : It wULxbi good public policy to employ Portland engi neers for the new bridges If fair competitive opportunity pr o V e s them to be equipped for the task. How would it be to appoint a bridge commission to go Into the question? The Detroit example is one to follow. Let reckless drivers every where be compelled to look: upon the bodies Of the slain, the corpses of the old And the young that their frenzy for speed has struck down. Would anyone deliberately run over a corpse? Isn't it a million times more Important not to smash life from ' the living? - ?, AS THEY WOULD 'j'wO girls are employe! -iby A- Portland business house.

But' the modern buyer of large display space occupies a different position.' He fuses advertising as a manufacturer uses a machine. He Judges value by results. His praise' becomes a concession to facts. - The recent statements of twev, ad vertising managers of nationally advertised' eotocerns In Portland have .awakened unusual Interest. O. E. Sovereign of the Aladdin com pany told the Portland Advertising club . that "a generation ago it was the square-cut monthly aaacrazlna that rpulledimost In results as an advertising medium.; In a cycle of 10: years it was found that? the crisper, brightly illustrated week lies "won. the larger returns. But in the past four or five years the news papers have dominated and news paper advertising; has got- In the past; year for his company half as much business as was won by mag azine advertising during the preced ing five years. Charles W. Myers, advertis ing manager of. Morris & ; Co., meat packers, corroborated this testimony before the : same . audi ence. Advertising in national me diums may bo likened, he said, to the long-range guns of the wars, but .newspaper advertising then may be likened to the soldiers with their rifles and bayonets, who carry the weight of the charge and the direct responsibility for victory. While these comments are. in a. sense, unsolicited testimony; in be half of the newspapers, they have even larger business value.; They show that advertising Is no longer on a haphazard basis, but that it Is counted as touch Investment as goods on the shelves. Advertising has become an exact science. .

"That such legislation as Is proposed "would mark decided advance la the welfare of society," the Green Bay Press Gazette Is certain, and 4t agrees with-the St. Paul Dispatch that "that greatr organisation of women could not undertake a v better work within the scope of hs purposes, and is .entitled to the most respectful consideration by the national - and state legislative bodies, for the end toward which It is working "U greatly to be desired." The need, for uniformity in laws regu lating both marriage and divorce "Is apparent." says the Albany News, for. wniie suca legislation has always been the province of .the states themselves, they have, as the Jackson Citizen Pa triot puts it, -functioned badly." The result, the Muncle Star notes, is that "at present we have almost as many cooes as there are -states, and , these codes, -the Kansas -City Times adds, "are about a far apart" as can be Imagined, "Um variations running -all the way from South - Carolina, which grants divorce on no rrounds. to Ne vada, ''which grants lt on; practically any cause ; the human mind can con ceive. - :. --.--- . - - '.. " . ? "Uwi regulating marriage and di vorce should be uniform throu srhou t tne united States," declares the Grand Kapids- Herald, ."because conditions witK which they deal are practically uniform." As the PhlladelphlaTubUc Ledger expresses it."there is no . es sential difference in human stature or in personal character between the in. habitants of the seaboards and "the miana reaches of America to Justify so many different sets of warrincr resru. latlona with regard to marriage and airorce.. to rar as marriage regula tion la concerned, the proposed legisla tion, the Appleton (Wis.) post Crescent points out, "-would prevent hasty and too us n marriages throurh the "re. quired public notice or Duplication of oanns, two weeks in advance of a wad ding," a scheme which the Grand Bap- ias iieraia Believes would make im possible "the existence of a fimwn Point (Indiana's famou Gretna Green or Bimnar quicK-marnage centers to the 'United States." When the aeta "are traced," the paper continues, ;"!. is too often found that there is- or di reci reuiuonaiup Between nasty and m considered marriage, and divorea." :Ta this the Kalamazoo Gazette adds that -pnyaiciana, social workers . and -ob servers generally have for veers con ceded that the ease with which mar riage may be contracted constitutes a oastc problem to which can be traced many of the perplexing social ques tions of the present day." The federa tion's plan is merely one to. "take the folly out of marriage." as the Akron Beacon Journal sees it. and "it aimnrv had to come." If -the idea is adopted there win be "no more elopements, not so much -romance and rashness,", but i Divorce under the Program Drooosed by the organized '- women, would be granted- for infidelity. Incurable in sanity, abandonment for one year, cruel ana inhuman treatment, or conviction of an - Infamous . crime."- A divorce granted In any atate would be valid in ail states, and no- divorced person would be eligible to; remarry within one year." These regulation. "If car ried out- nationally," the - Indianapolis Star thinks, "should go a long way toward Improving present condition. - but If the proposal hlnges'h getuag an amendment to ue federal consti tution, it is not likely to have-verv smooth sailing." - Vary likely states will oe -opposed to surrenaerinx their juris diction over the questioa - of- marriare and divorce." the Oklahoma City Okla- noman suggests, in which -event -"a strong effort should be made to obtain the enactment of uniform marriage and divorce laws by the various state legis- ; However, "if reform is to be effect ed" the Wilkes-Barre Record Is con vinced that "It must be done through action or congress, applicable alike to an states.": Some years ago. the paper recalls, "the governors of a number of the states, acting on the Initiative of Governor Penny packer of Pennsylvania, drafted a model (divorce) code in the hope that the states would adopt it, but In only a few was It even intro duced Into the legislatures." What ever the merits of the question of mak ing either marriage or divorce . more difficult, it will be conceded, the San Francisco- Bulletin believes, "that the greatest social need of the nation Is uniformity," and if this cannot be ob tained by any other means than taking the regulatory power away from the Individual states, then a constitutional amendment should follow, for ' "uni formity of marriage laws Is at least as important as uniformity in liquor legislation. . , "But In the opinion of the Philadel phia Evening Ledger, "the country has bad enough of constitutional amending for the present.. The elections proved, if they proved anything, a general dis satisfaction with centralised authority and the theory under which congress was compelled to appear a a sort of morals police for ths whole country. In the end it may be doubted whether any question related to marriage.' and divorce, can be effectually dealt with Cirotrga legal statutes, r If someone can find an antidote for sophistication and a cure for the scourge of popular cyni cism the. divorce and marriage prob lem will nettle itself."
