A AVROXG DEDUCTION In an address to the county judges Governor Pierce said that the only . way we could reduce taxes materially would be to in vent more indirect taxes. We dissent. An indirect tax is just as much a burden upon the. people of Ore gon as a direct tax. Ot course, it is sugar coated, but it is paid by the people of the state as much as if paid to the county treasurer. We made quinine palatable by first sugar coating it and then putting it in a capsule. We some times think this is a bad thing, it taught us to sugar coat so many things. 1 As a matter of fact, as an in direct tax is passed on to the peo ple, the cost of handling is also added. If every particle of our tax was made indirect, it would still be paid by the (people. To propose more Indirect taxes as re lief from-the direct is a subter fuge, and every man familiar with tax knows it. OUR SCEXERY Tbe good Lord might have plant ed Mt. Hood anywhere, but He did not. He might have set Crater Lake down by Pasadena, but He placed it In Oregon. He might have put the Josephine caves un der the great Salt Lakes of Utah, but he placed it in Josephine county; Oregon. He might have taken the picturesque Cascades and placed them along some oth er territory ratner, tnan cutting Oregon through in the middle, but tor some reason these singularly beautiful mountains were given to Oregon. What does it all mean? Why is Oregon so favored? There must be some special reason for it, and we should all devotedly thank na ture and nature's God for the won derful beauties placed within our state. MAKING CHANGES The Oregon Statesman is in sympathy-with the Mellon tax pro posal. , It, is ' also very much In sympathy with the proposal of making , certaJn,4efinite changes.' It would, not be possible for one man .to make a proposition that could not be Improved by a com mittee. However, this very fact subjects the proposal to peril, and gives the enemies ot the reduction first chance to get in their work. Mr. Mellon is a very rich man, and the chances are that he bore a little bit" easy on some of the super-taxes. It he did, it was un consciously of course, but the country, would be very much -satisfied -in any event" if there was thorough supervision by congress. OREGON LABOR SITUATION The department of labor has made a survey ot the labor condi tions in forty-four states and this is the report for Oregon: There is at the present time a slowing up' of employment which Is, however, seasonal at this time of the year. Building construc tion has been good in 1923. and prospects are that operations in the structural building lines will be equally as active in the com ing year. The industrial outlook in Oregon bids fair to be one of general activity. At present there Is no indication of any letvup in activities of the State's industries, tnd the! basic industries, logging and lumbering, will continue their large operations into 1924. Road making will come close to match ing that bf the pait year and will assure employment to a large number ot men. ' "The past year was not particularly prosperous for the farmer in Oregon, except ing those raising sheep for wool and In the production of! dairy products. ' Reports indicate that the planting acreage will be equal in the new, year to that of 1923, with the exception of neW plant ing in which an increase' is ex pected." ! TO THE WEST A good many people eein to think that because wo-live on the Pacific coast It 'I ""not proper to discuss the west.' We are very apt to think that we are the west, go far as 1 Anterica i " concernod of course,: we . are. but. it iS a fact that- the great development in the next ten years. '"will be west and on the" Pacific coast.'; The Atlantic has received Its f ull development, huT thPactffc. Mas fiaYdly .started on.what it. Is going, to do in the next ten years.: The tiJe is con tinually westward and t little ocean is not going The world's -busl- ness is turning west and millions of people will come to the Pacific coast in order to be as near as they can to the base of activity. , la FAITH IX .SALEM It is impossible for one to be in touch with the progress Salem is making, like a newspaper must be, without catching the spirit of in spiration and enthusiasm. Salem is already doing great things, hut it has hardly scratched the sur face of what it is going to do. Unless all signs fail during the present year one new contemplat ed industry will make this town about 100,000 population in ten years. While this one industry is developing there are about a hundred other industries that will be reaching out. This includes, of course, all fruit; which more and more must capture the market of the country. Then it also in- eludes our dairying. The possi bilities of it can bardly .be com puted. Certainly it is good to live in Salem, and be a. part of this great activity. CANNING THE BOSS We read an editorial the other day which struck us as being par ticularly pertinent. It was head ed "Canning the Boss." As a matter of fact, there is not much satisfaction in being the boss. Everything that- goes, wrong is laid to him, and yet a thousand things that are good happen that he never gets cfcedlt .f pr He ia. the target for everything, both-in side and outside;; with' the result that he is overburdened.

"I (Copyrighted by The highest 'authority as to sus is not the modern theologian' no matter to yhat sect or ism he may adhere.. Neither is it4o be fuiid in ancient or medieval theology or in any philosophy ; nor yet in the statements of the twelve disciples. Higher authority than any of these are the words, life and works of the Master himself. .'I Others merely reason about Him or give their opinion or impression of Him, necessarily more or less mixed with human. elements. No man could know of Him and His mission as the spirit and wisdom of the Father dominant in Him. knew it. Judging from His' words Recorded in the Gospels it is appar ent that His mission and message have regard 'to the people in this life, not in some other; Jfis eommandmeuts and precepts are to be incorporated M'the lives of men while in this'worlid. The Ivhole Sernlon on the Mojuntthe given to men, is an plainly to dc applied to the; eauouct and in tercourse of men hbi'e, Thpre is in it not one Avord that bear any other interpretation." And, the. same is true of the lessons conveyed in His parables and" iu His precepts.4 His admonition to us' to keep His commandments lias reference to our life in this world. Otherwise neither the admonition nor the command ments have any meaning . Of the message conveyed in His life and works it is the same. .The Gospel record says, "I am come that they might have life and abundantly. Nd hint here that future state. ' Moreover, no part of His whom it is recorded as-having is addressed to all men of every age and nation His words, life and works arc a universal appeal to'the heart of humanitv for more love, rigbteoiujuess, truth conduct of all mei'm all ttmc. as lie is represented as having to dominate the World! which righteousness are' to rule among men. - aw- j , Most, if not alf,' of, His promises to us arc alssio manifestly in tended to he realized in this world. There is no hint that we must -wait until we .enter the far away heaven hefore His spirit can reach us, in these words, '.'lie that hath niyj commandments and keepeth them, he shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself tion of God in humanity is like divine part of Him could not be body, the luimancould be killed.

"He that believeth on one, also; and greater works than these shall lie do; because I go unto my Father." -Manifestly these works are to be done by men here Who believe on Christ, not by angels ijjjheaven. "If ye ask anything iirlnf name I will do it." Clearly lie is to do it here where tbeneed is not in some far away plae or some other life. - :" " ; ' The reason why men -have so is because thev-do not "believe means believe. Merely to believe that Christ lived and died for our sins on the cross is not Relieving on Him as lie means it. To believe "on Ilim'A-we must know Him, and we can not know Him except as our souls have come into somethinsof harmony with His life. Is it not so declared in many places in the (Jos pels! And there may be some doubt as to' just what, is meant bv asking in my name." It surely means more ft hart merely the saying of words. Unless we keep His commandments and walk in His steps,' have wc aiiy. right to ask in His name with (expec tation that our prayers will be answered? Is it not made dear that. He does not even know or recognize those who do not Jive His principles and manifest Ills spirit! The above references to Ihe that might be maderinake it Christendom have uot yct evcu a Christianity is, according to the. any intellectually conceived and not outward profession, ritual to any creed or" sect ; not looking backjor and bclie1ing in a dead Christ who was crucified oil Calvary, nor in one sitting on a throne far away from ns.

A 108 STATUS HEALTHY IRE Commissioner Gram's Sta tistics Indicate Industry , Is On Upgrade As far as Oregon was concerned the year 1923 was remarkably free from strikes or labor troubles of consequenc, says a statement by C. II. Gram", state labor commis sioner. "-The difficulties on the "Portland waterfront affecting the longshoremen, carried over from the previous year, as did the rail road shopmen's strike. Both were passive to la great extent for the reater part of the year. In the spring the Ivvw element made an attempt to tie up logging and con struction .camps as a sort of po litical ( demonstration, and in a number ofj places were successful for a few days. It was attempted again in the fall but was ineffec tive. !

The bricklayers were in difficulty with the Portland school board over a trade matter, but only 15 men were involved. The strike of the linemen employed by the Norths western Electric company, com mencing late in the year and still continuing, is -the one serious la bor trouble of the past year. In the year 123 employment was more plentiful than at any time since the close of the war. Gene ral prosperity and ' -a' strong de mand vfor lumber were no doubt the contributing causes. The placements of employment offices are a reliable barometer of industrial activities, for in good times the (employment agent is sought to. fill the gaps in milt and camp, and the turnover and rest lessness oftieh afford him an op portunity to fill the sariie job Fev eral times In a season.
