It is suggested by a well informed and public spirited . Oregonian that while the work of the tax investigation com mittee now at work, under direction and authority of the last Legislature, may perform a very useful task in finding new isources of revenue that will make the burdens of taxation Test more easily and equitably, one important matter has evu dently been overlooked, and that is the one of reducing the expenses of government in this state. He believes that if a commission were created to suggest a general pruning down, lit might do a great deal more good. He believes that some thing, approaching the Illinois plan or the Washington plan, 'giving Oregon a semblance of a commission form of govern i ment, with the heads of all the departments sitting as a sort of commission, might lop off a great part of the expenses of (conducting the Oregon state government, and at the same jtime give service that would be more efficient i And he believes that the next state campaign ought to be made along these lines I , That the. matter of securing more economy and by the same sign greater efficiency, if put up to the people flat- f ootedly, would carry in Oregon. j It is very easy to say that there must be more and more officials and higher and higher salaries, land that the state must undertake more and more enterprises and more and more expensive ones; that all this must call for more and more ways to get money from the taxpayers, indirectly and directly .vT"'- ! But suppose we face about and back track, and attempt to discover, ways to cut down and lop off and economize, while hunting for new ways to equalize the burdens of tax ation , : . ! And suppose-the people , who pay the taxes be given a voice, and not depend exclusively for guidance upon the men iwho spend the tax money, who naturally think that they : must have more, and must find more ways in which to wring it from the people bearing the burdens; Suppose, for instance, says, this man, it be proposed to run the Oregon state government for ju$t half what it has been costing, what would happen? I ' : Of course there would be a great howl from the men who spend the tax money But what of it? Let them howl. The earth has never come to an end through howling. In some way or other," the state government would get along this man insists ';' t . ' j And we would get our feet on the ground. , ' And he insists, too, that, under an efficient reorganiza tion of the whole structure, of the state government, much after the manner that efficiency experts would go over a pri vate business of the same magnitude, it would be found that the business could be conducted on half the money; not only this, but that it would be found to run more smoothly and efficiently,"- "The hard but rery hopeful times that lie ahead." is the way Presfdent Harding puts It. Well said. Admiral Sims says be never re ceived that telepram from Secre tary Denby calling him home. Is Al Burleson In charge of the cable lines? If we were the deputy United State marshal that let Koy Gard ner, the mail bandit, escape, we would take the train where be Kot away, start north and keep going. Ios Anseles Times. JudKe Landis thinks that the United States ought to try pro hibition for at least 50 years. In the meantime he would no doubt like to be prohibition commission er at about H2.S00 a year. Exchange. Well, there would be something doing. He would earn the money. Was the late Chief Justice White of the United States su preme court a voluntary martyr to political stratepy? It is said that if he had submitted to an operation a year ago. he would have survived, but he wanted to Rave his place for former Presi dent Taft. who had himself given him his appointment. He waited until there was a change in the administration and there was a chance for Taft to succeed him. Then the operation was too late to save his life. It is a sweet story, and is said to be true by those who knew the dead jurist. Many a newspaper reader, doubtless, smiled pityingly at the story from Blackwood. N. J.. tell ing of the jealous fears of a wo men old enongh to have better sense. An 8 2 -year-old Inmate of the almshouse at Blackwood jumped from a window and seri ously injured herself, in an ef fort to get after her 8 0-year-old husband, whom she suspected of "running around with another woman." The mental picture we made of the octogenarian Loth ario caused most of us to smile s we read; and yet what has age to do with it? Jealousy, at any age. ia quite as unreasonable and groundless in the eyes of the neighbors. a Perhaps this man is too optimistic; or shali we say too iconoclastic, if there is such a word ? But there are a lot of people in the state of Oregon who would like to see a set of real efficiency experts take the whole thing to pieces and look into the works. And. adds this same man, the trend of whose con versa tion is being quoted, if some one will go down the line on this strain, in the next campaign, and make his campaign elucidating and thorough going, with definite and practical promises and propositions for running the whole state gov ernment, from the very too to the very bottom, and through and through, along lines of both greater economy and greater efficiency, he will have such a following as will astonisn tne men who are thinking now in terms merely of finding more ways in. which to get money to spend in more ways and in larger volume; jj BETTER HAVE THAN WISH "IF fishes were horses, beggars would ride." The man who sits around envy ing others wishing for thingsnever gets them. , But the man who opens an account at the United States National, and saves systematically, usually has the money for the things he wants, when he wants them. Outsiders will conclude that German Industries are making a good deal of money, for the gov ernment is credited with the in tention of obtaining means for paying the indemnity by making government monopolies of some of the leading Industries In order to absorb their profits. The ship yards are busy, and the products are largiy the property of the government, which Is paying very heavy subventions for the build ing of ships, and if It could be as successful as the North German Lloyd and the Hamburg-American companies its task would be great ly lightened, it owns most ot the railroads. The dye factories have had their best year in spite of the fact that other countries estab lished the industry during tho war. And the German banks have been uncommonly prosperous. The American people have been called upon to alleviate the suf ferings of so many nations that it will be a real relief to them to know that China will before long stand in no further need ot aid in warding off famine. Gen erous rains have assured the crops that were expected to be a fail ure. It is a legitimate cause for wonder what would have become of the world in the last seven years if American money and food had not gone out in unpre cedented volume to head off star vation. France. Belgium. Poland. Austria, Servia and Armenia have especially benefited by this well directed beneficence. Put this down as one ot America's great est contributions in healing the wounds ot humanity.

United States KatlonjaBanlC SALEM OREGON President Harding's commence ment day address to the post graduates oi the American uni versity, Washington, D. C, was directed to the nation's class of 1921 as well. It is one of the finest speeches the president has yet rendered, and should there fore receive the widest public ity. "We are at the height of the annual commencement season," said the president, "when thou sands of students go out from Inntit'iUons all over the land and take up the tsks for which their years of stnd have been pre- FUTURE DATES June IS In ? frreges) National ti'impmrntf at ramp Lewis aa4 Fort Bteveae Jane IT.

I wish I could im press the young man and wo man of every graduating class this year with my own acute con viction regarding the obligation of service that Is placed upon them. They have been favored with the privilege of special equipment and preparation such as is vouchsafed to an all too small proportion of the people. They will not prove themselves worthy of their peculiar good fortune or of their special re sponsibility unless they regard It as a trust to be he'd for the good of the whole community." The president admonished the ration's graduates not to believj they know It all with the posses sion ot their diploma. He said: "I have often thought that if I knew as much now as I thought 1 did on the day I graduated. 1 would make the finest president this country ever had." The en tire address is an appeal to stud ent graduates to make service to humanity their chief aim in life. "The world and its experiences constitute the greater university In which all you have yet to com plete, so far as is humanly pos sible, your education, said he. I pray you to go out to it with out too much thought of person al rewards, of individual gains; and yet, not to thrust these con siderations entirely aside. Be generous, but do not dissipate your capital of Knowledge ana ability in aimless, useless gener osities. Hold true to those ideals which your government and its Institutions represent. We Am ericans will best help mankind at large if we most earnestly sus tain men Immediately about us." Again he emphasized this call to service by saying: "We look to this month's graduating classes to provide far more than their numerical share of leaders for the nation In a future not far ahead. You will play your parts in a world in many ways unlike any that former generations of your colleagues could have an ticipated. I would' feel that had performed well the part that has providentially fallen to me if I could impress upon every one who goes out this year with a diploma the thought that it is not a certificate of right to special favor and profit in the world, but rather a commission of service Men all about you will need the best you can give them." Closely Intertwined with this thought of service to humanity was his exhortation to the stud ent graduates to have faith In. pur country and its ideals. "Much that has been esteemed e'emen tal has been swept aside," he de clared. "Almost nothing remains that we may safely think of as sacred, as secure from the attacks of the iconoclasts. It is a time in which men search their souls end assay their' convictions, in which they examine the very fun damentals of institutions imme morial ly accepted, in which no tradition may be held Immune from assaults of the skeptic and the doubter. Nothing re mains with us that is not queried Therefore we need for the lead ership of the coming generation an open minded willingness to recognize the claim of the doubt er, the innovator, the experimen ter, the would-be constructionist. Out while we must give these ad venturous ones their full chance, we must sedulously guard against the spirit of mere cynicism, the disposition to condemn all things as they are because they are not perfect, the tendency to tear down before any plan of reconstruction nas been prepared. Th trained mind provided it is not over trained is the one thai munt provide the saving faculty of d's crtminaUcn. The world must 6o forward, and not backward; and it will not go forward is th re sult of any philosophy of mote destruction. Interro-a-ti.u point '.r.t? been written in the blood and suffering ot count less millions at the end of a thou sand statements of what a -little time ago we deenuvl the very basic principles of economics, of sociology, of international rela tionships, of public policy and hu man justice. Let us make our America the best plac; on earth in which men and women may dwell. Let us makj it an example to all others, an inspir ation and a model. It has been our privilege to see this country which we love called upon to le dress the wrongs of the world to restore the balance of civili zation. W rould not have play ed that part had we n.t fir been true to ourselves, confident of our destiny, assured of our righteousness and of the power inherent in our concept of righte ousness. Let us go on, holding fast to what, in the great trial, has been proven good, seeking to make it better, stronger and more unselfish. Let as place a firm reliance in our destiny and let us seek to realize that destiny through unceasing effort and un faltering devotion." lie warned students not to put too much trust In books or aca demic learning that education was something never completed: The education that can truly prepare for the demands of soci ety in the time before us can not be given merely in academic halls. The great world outside must contribute of its practical ex perience, its intimate knowledge, its discipline aud disappointments to complete the equipment. We can learn much from books, but if we learned only from books we would learn only the wisdom of the past. Hooks are tremendous ly useful if they be made the ser vitors of the inquiring mind; they may be deadening and worse than useless if they become the mas ter of the too receptlvt mind. He who has learned how to use books, how to find hat he re quires in them and then to apply it, without the necessity of over loading his mind with unneces sary detail, is the one who has made his educational preparation moRt useful. As a mere storage warehouse for facts, beliefs, im pressions, the human mind is an unsatisfactory plant. It is too liable to error and too limited ?s its capacity. But, on the other hand, when it is used as a macer- ator of information, a molding, developing, forming and reform ing mechanism, it does its best work." The president paid his compli ments to the democracy of Amer ican education institutions "one of the fine things about our Am erican educational system. There is. thank God. no caste system here. All kinds of experience, of social background,, of ancestry, of tradition, of training, are brought together in the melting pot of the American college or univers ity. Neither social nor intellectu al snobbery is likely very long to survive such experience. That is why education, when it is of the right sort, is the greatest level ing and democratizing influence we can find. It Inculcates a real ization of true standards, an ap preciation of the fact that dif ferences in estate and fortunes are. after all, but the superficiali- SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1921 FILERS ORDER IS ties of life as compared to the fundamentals of character, am bition, and determined purpose." Mr. Harding concluded his ad dress Imploring "a dedication to common service, to human bet terment, to civilization's advance ment, on the part of those young people who at last mu?t so largely direct the affairs of the country and of society in the hard but very hopeful times which lie ahead."
