baiting big business and threat
ening industry."
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

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

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

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

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

him, and will manifest myself

"He that believeth on one,
also; and greater works than these shall lie do; because I go

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

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. !
In negotliation of wage agree

of the builiding tradesmen locked

were building laborers, painters
and sheet-'metal workers. 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

for the school garden; "Each child
had been allowed to buy one pack
age for four cents, and as Jack's
new teacher was the director of
the garden, she was to send the
money for the packages to the
seed house. " ' ' "
When Jack asked .for the money
in the first grade, the teacher got
out the little' box lit which she
kept it,' saying, "Now how much
should I have. Jack? I sold 23
packages, at four cents each."
Jack straggled with the. problem
