TAX the; 31
A IX over the country tax-exempt
Becurities are being: issued and
sold to investors. They are issued
by municipalities up to several mil
lion dollars. They are issued by
states up to several million dollars.
Theyj are issued by many ; Kovern

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. The men who have
interest bearing, tax - free mort
gages on cities and states can much
better afford to pay than the man
who Is working for from $3 to M a
day for his own and his family's
- living. ."v-. t - '
- President Harding and other ad
ministration leaders have expressed
. themselves as favoring taxation on
, securities nojr exempt. Why, then.
els there not a movement in that
- direction? '
: Is there anybody who feels quite
as cheap as, the fellow who knows
he ought to sacrifice a bit and con
tribute to the Community Chest but
who lets a cheap alibi, born .of selfw.

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

there was but one. ";

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.

and says, but gobbled gobbler Is

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

SPACE CYCLES
A NEWSPAPER'S claim for the
effectiveness- at it nrt-vrHiT,rr
columns may be discounted by the
bustnessgetting motive- which in
spires the assertions. .
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

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. . (

sponsored by the General Federation
of Women's Clubs tor-uniform mar

amendment if necessary, by which both
marriage- anl OJworee shall be "made
more difficult" With the general pur
pose or tne duowomea and, on tne
whole, with their program, editors are
ia hearty sympathy,' although there Is
a divergence of opinion, as to the best
way to accorapliah, that purpose.
"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

--.--- . - - '.. " .
? "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

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

ias iieraia Believes would make im
possible "the existence of a fimwn

"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."
