Senator Pierce Would Build

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. , '' ..-
..' The money could be had! here, to back such a man.
' Either this sort of a man, or one with ample capital to gather
and assemble the talent and the machinery and hook up the factory
to the soil. "... 1

Leading members of the two houses of the legislature in special
session say they are going to make it short and snappy toget
through this week. The third house is yet to be heard from, to say
nothing of the Fourth Estate, and the people interested in the var
ious angles of the fish 4nd name muddle.

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.

Attacked Editorial of Jef

An attack against the Oregon Vot
er for reprinting- an editorial in the
Jefferson Review in which the legis
lature was compared to a circus of
animals and acrobats, was made io
the house yesterday by Representa

that the editorial showed lack of re
spect -for institutions and declared
that the Oregon Voter should be pub-
nay. reuuKea tor ireprinting it. He
said the effect was meagre when pub-
usnea in tne Keview because of the
limited circulation but when the Vot

greater prestige reprinted the article
it ave a far more menacing aspect. -f don t
