THE COMING LINEN INDUSTRY AT SALEM EYES EXAMINED GLASSES FITTED INCOME TAX IS BILmWPOSE Senator Pierce Would Build up Road Fund by Referred Measure Dr. S. J. Reiil. the Irish evangelist, told the business men pres- erit at the Salem Commercial Club dinner yesterday that Salem should become a linen center. j He spoke; of the great wealth that would result. . Dr. Reid ya3 probably told, by some Salem flax qpthusiast, after '. his address, 'that at the Philadelphia Centennial in 1876, samples of flax grown near Salem cainei into competition with flax from all the f world J that the judges did not know where the samples before them ' were from; that they judged by points nine points; and the Oregon flax fiber WON ON ALL NINE POINTS. It was the best flax grawrj in the world in every single partic ular. ' ' . ' ;-' -I : "' . At. that time, a great Belfast, Ireland, manufacturer of linen products made the statement; that no other country could come up to Oregon, and that he could take two pounds of the Marion county fiber and SPIN A TIIREAD THAT "WOULD REACH AROUND THE WORLD, N We have long. known that we can raise the best flax fiber in the world. J'-' -.)''''"'. ;. And there is no good reason why the linen industry should not be developed here now. j ;v It is the time of all times, with so many of the linen growers and manufacturers of Belgium and Ireland footloose, after the war. - What Salem needs is a man with organizing talent who has the . . vision. , '' ..- ..'

T Senator Walter M. i'ieive will in troduce at the special session, pro bably today, a bill placing a tax fin personal incomes, the proceed to go into the state highway fund. Tho bill will be. identical with u meas ure introduced by the senator at the session of 1919. At that time the bill, and a substitute bill introduced in the house both died in committee. Senator Pierce wi!l endeavor to have the bill referred ta the eople for their vote at the special election in May. if called. Should the legis lature refuse to refer the measure. Senator Pierce claims the grange, the farmers union and some other or ganizations will initiate the bill for the regular electkm in Xavember. The measure would not apply to a married man wltH vifj iiviuz and whose income is less than $3ih0 an nually or to a l)icheIor with income or. less than $200. It will provide exemption of $2y0 (or men with fatu ities for each depoadent child or other dependent. The tax would commence with 2 per cent on the first $1000 of taxa ble income and rai.s? by a graduated tale to incomes of Sio.noy a year when the tax would be C per cent. It is estimated that at the present tinvi his would raise about $3,000,000 a year. The entire fund would b5 placed at the disposal of the state highway commission for construction of iaed ! road, bridge or bas?. with no restric tions on tue commission Senator Pierce tile.-; the fact that the government now taisos a'.out $14,000,000 a year in Oregon by tax ing incomes and the state ' nothing. As a concrete example, he mentions a firm in Portland having a paid in capital of JBO.OOO and a limited amount of office xiuipmen". The firm's net profit !a;t. year waj over $50,000 and it paid the national jov ernment $21,000 inrom; tax. . white itsp roperty was not .on the tax roll of Multnomah county and not a dol lar in taxes was paid to the state. Senator Pierce says that had this bill I of last session passed the firm would nave paid the state $3000 to go in to the road fund. Puts the taste appeal in any meal Del Monte Catsup sharpens dull appetites. It makes you hungry puts more genuine enjoy ment into every-day meals. It is the one relish that always pleases because its distinctive flavor blends with and improves almost any other food. That s why Del Monte Catsup is preferred by particular people everywhere as a table relish and as a cooking auxiliary.
