Entered at the Postoffice In Salem, WHO PAYS THE TAXES Senator La Follette arid his Bolshevist understudies and uderftrappers'are advocating the payment of all the taxes in this country by the rich. Men of this stamp who denounce "capitalistic" countries and "capitalistic" governments such as ours; like to picture the ideal conditions of such a country as Russia, where labor and . the "masses" are enthroned. "Under soviet Russia's, new income tax every workingman who has an income of over $27 a month is subject to taxation which ranges from 6 per centLto 80 per cent780 per cent being levied upon all incomes of $100 a month or over. No allow ances "aremade for wives or children or other, dependents. Such, is' the manner in which the ideal soviet government ' treats its workJUig people - Ji j -. . . ....';, ' t y' .', ( ; ; In Americaiwhere capital rules," the working man pays no income tax unless he has an income of over $2,500 a year, . because he is entitled to that much exemption if lie is the heid of a family, as well' as.3400 additional .exemption for each child or dependent he has in addition to his wife, rf . Suppose the soviet system, which the radicals in this country .are vdemandinsf the' United States recognize and which they frre -'holding: up as an ideal system of government, were transplanted tb this country. Ami suppose every work- ' ing man who made, $1 a day, ($27 , a month), had to pay the government 6 per cerit"of that income ! Suppose the more he . received, the higher the arooiint- he had ;to pay , the .govern mnt, until he reached the point where, if he made $100 a 1 month, he had to give 80 per cent of it to the government ! : : These are the, cold facts, Soviet agitators never mention s them because theydo not appeal to the working people quite - as much as the flap doodle which dispensed from" the soap boxes and; halls and at meetings: of' bighbtow 'and parlor ' bolsheviks. 1 ;:-'.;;.vr fX-i''V:" ' 1 1 XXXX. ' .';t ; V i Incidentally, the system of taxation in Russia has re sulted in dnevthing : - In .those - who are .too, poor: to -get out of Jlussia bearing all the taxes,, while' the capitalistic class have,fled. to other lands.? So we have this anomaly in the United States and other so-called capitalistic nations capital pays the bulk'of taxes. It is assessed the heaviest iiibor pays little direct taxes.' In the nations which are run by the l Socialists -.and Soviets capital pays no taxes .because it has fled the country and labor pays all the tax .which; as the figures just given show, is practically confiscatory and keeps . labor in a perpetual state of servitude. -, V A( resident of Oregon does not have to .possess -m partic ularly vivid imagination to visualize a political condition that miht have resulted in making Mr. Etheridge, the bond ljuyer, ar.d. those-with him playing the fine Italian hand, by far the richest bunch in this state. There are evidences that they have already done fairly well, considering their late start and - their comparatively limited opportunities. - - - . mm trnixt i torjrtxt, .Associated XTktU j For Boys Society.

PUNISIIIIXG PROSPERITY i Apparently Senator La Follette would punish capital by making it pay all the taxes. The fact that capital furnishes employment for more (than! half the . world means, nothing to. blm. . He would hound and harry it until, t hid Itself away. . When capital goes into retirement industry will sicken land. die.

".However.! two other reaf natural barriers the Appalachian Mountains and . the ' Mississippi river had been, conquered by the pioneers; Lewis and Clark had made .the' trip td the Missouri - riv er and to the mouth, of the Colum bia,, and the trappers had .placed their, fur posts to, the west.,flt ihe Rockies so that, in spite of -the1 judgment' of some off the wisest men of ..the , times and the rather; discouraging ; report ,of & the - west maae Dy pike ji the westward movement proceeded. . : ' A hundred years ago, there were no settlements or . conse quence in the. northwest', and the only ones of importance ' in the southwest were j in Texas, New Mexico "and the i-missions along the California coast, t ; In the twenty-five yeafs'tollbw- ing 1823.

The J old I kings of ! Egypt were laid to! rest in tombs the size ot which depended noon th leneth of their reign and their ambition. The -'work jof building the tomb was' done by forced labor and some of j these old tombs will be desscribf d in detail by Mrs.4 Dodd who isj as familiar with them as one could be after the study and Interest , which she has taken in them during -her visits there and her extensive reading.
