The! decline in the volume of taxation noted in 1922 was rather short lived, the report said, pre dicting an upward tendency In "Thq report asserted S that In 1913 the federal, state and local governments disbursed $208,000 000 j on account of pensions and $224,000,000 for interest on pub lic indebtedness. In; 1923, Itbeje totals; were, respectively, $330, 000,000 and $1,47,000,000.

The conservative is the man who does, not want to do anything the first time. The conservative is timid and ' unifor med; Don't you know that nearly all the ignorance of the country is conservatism? The man who has his hand in the other fellow's pocket is, a. conservative.. The reactionary is the fellow who al lows the burglary to go on who allows the public to be robbed In the dark. The Republican party is the most reactionary of parties. ','1 never call Republicans scoun drels. I simply point out that they are not In position to see or are prejudiced, I'll tell you what think of Coolidge. .1 think he is as high, minded as any man who ever occupied the 'White House. I think he is patriotic in his ideals, and clean in his public and private life.- I will let the Republicans take the dictionary and put together all the nice ad jectives and apply them to Cool idge. and I will accept them all if you will; let rae finish the sentence with five words. ..; ..-'-ij "In the Bible, In-II Kings is the description of a mighty man Nam an. But it concludes with five words; But he was a leper.' "And so after saying Coolidge, would add: 'Hut he la a reac tionary.' f t "This overcomes- all the good we can say for him." 1 Says Dawes is More So. Bryan described Dawes as a worse reactionary than : Coolidge and Mellon as the worst reaction ary of them all. "A man may have money and be a Democrat," said Bryan, 'but when his money has him he is a Republican and a reactionary. You'll find that some men become Republicans because their business demands It. 1 v l "They sell themselves for mil lions and -are just as corrupt as the little fellow who sells his vote for $5 and is despised for it. "Take .Mr. Mellon. He hasn't had a thought in years that did not begin with money. Mellon was rebuked even by a Republican caucus and when a thing is so .had that a Republican caucus re bukes it it Is mighty bad.

Letand Stanford, Jr.j University of Washington's football eleven Is to be a serious contender feif Pacific coast;; football conference;, honors this fall, stated Backfield Coach Kerr in an article in the Post Intellfgencer printed today. I ''Only one really difficult hold has to be patched up in the grid Iron machine," said Coach Kerr. "That Is the post left vacant by Captain Scotch Campbell, quarter back." Other good men are' absent from the eleven this jyearVbut. wth the appearance of Ernie Nevers as a fullback candidate! and a wealth of good halfbacks, the problem of Coach Glenn S. (Pep) "Warner. Is to find the best combination. "There will be 12 first string men i who have .had two, full years of ; experience under our present system of football. I The team therefore, should be better; strong er! Slhd more' powerful than the 1923 squad." I r Mellon wanted the tax on incomes of the rich placed at a maximum of 32 per cent, ninety-thred Rep ublicans deserted the Republican leaders and voted With the Demo crats; to place the percentage at 50 per cent. That was another rebuked for him. s J !., "Itad the Mellonl plan ? prevail ed; the? money saved ln taxes by the rich would have iheeU' find add ed, burden on the, poor.. :And the Republican party would 'place the burden on the shoulders of the poori". ' Democrats Given Credit Bryan gave the Deinocratic party credit for leading the fight for c direct election of United States senator, th income tax. the fight against government by injaction and other reformative measures. "The Democratic party has led In every economic reform In this country in thirty years, said Mr. Bryan. 'fAnd, the Rep ublican party has not led in one. Mr. Bryan declared there . was no doubt about La" Follette-being a progressive i because he voted for all the Democratic form measures in "He wouldn't have economic re the i Congress done: it, -said Mr. Bryan, "if he hadn't been a progressive. But La Follette has no chance of election. -..Why. not vote for a Democrat who Is a progressive." i . ; Sees Chance for Davis ; "Davis Is the only progressive who, has a' chance; to be elected I opposed Davis nomination, hut I did it because X feared, his pro fessional connection as an attor ney would be a handicap against him and so it proves to be. And be Is handicapped as I feared. The Republicans have the -: advantage off us in newBpi pe rs and! know they "would attack Davis because of his clients as a lawyer and they are attacking him j on that basis. But; the newspapers fin$ nothing agajnst Davis., It j is jf only his clients." ; j Bryan enumerated Davis quali fications for president. "lie has had more 'experience than I ever had. j He has had more than Wood row Wilson had, and Wilson was the best president since Lincoln." Bryan cited Davis stand in behalf of labor and the farmers. ' " j ; 'You have never read better speeches than those of: Davis on the farmer and on labor," Bryan added. He declared thfli only remedy offered by the Republican party for the condition of ,the farmer hhuBelf.i'and is ;rlet him heln work harder." i "Dawes favors, a cessation of reclamation activity. Sf Doubtless the next we hear bf him will be that ho is congratulating the coun try ;: because a million' :r farmers were driven from the farms last year." ' '. " : , jFor years I have been trying to make the Republicans under stand about these j campaign con tributions. In my first campaign the, Republicans used $16,000,000 to, beat me. I didn't have a mil lion. That was 16 to 1 with a vengeance. They iused over $30,- 000,000 against. me In my three campaign. When the Republican machine Is: well oiled it takes in money in larger sums and pays it back out of the pockets! of the people. Discusses Oil Afalr Bryan pressed hard on the oil affair at , Washington, declaring that , enough money had heen paid by the Republican party to Sin clair Doheny and other of Its friends to pay the salary of the president for 6500 years. And that enough money Is being ex pended on the tariff to pay the salary of the president for 40.000 years. wth only lone-sixth of It going Into the United States.

VALID BY COURT (OoDtluned from j 1) ' feature of the Oregon income tax acas against the objectioa that it violates -the fourteenth cmend ment to "the constitution of the United States, is clearly establish ed by the decisions- of the supreme court In the Magouh case ' ' wherein a system of graduated rates like that adopted by the Ore gon act, was sustained." : Restraint Lacking ' The opinion declares that under an amendment to the state consti tution as voted by . the people -In 191? there isl"no restraint upon the power of the legislature In the matter of taxation which was not already enforced upon it by the 14th amendment. ; ' ' " "The existing provisions of the state constitution relating to tax ation," says the opinion, "do not limit the legielativij authority to impose an income tax, and beyond the requirement that such a tax shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects, ttiose provisions place no restraint On the legisla tive power to classify incomes and levy a graduated tqx thereon." . MoIng Business" Defined. The opinion concedes that the provision of the income tax act levying upon the incomes of non residents doing business in Ore gon provides that these non-residents "are entitled' to identically the same as are accorded to resi dents; and the taxable incomes of such non-residents' are placed in the same class and are subject to precisely the same- rates of taxa tion as apply to residents," but the opinion' holds? further that "The receipt of Corporate divi dends by a -non-resident In the state of his domicile does not con stitute 'doing" business' in this state within the meaning of the statute." j ;; Relative tok holding the provis ion in section 3 invalid the court says: , : : ' "The invalidity of thi nrnvian does not, however, invalidate the entire act in the opinion of the court, whichj holds, that "Section 40 of the Income tax act la n . prefs declaration by the legisla ture that it intended to adopt the income tax act in its general scope notwithstanding the incorporation In the act of a paragraph which might be determined to be In valid, when subjected to judicial examination." .

Sum mons of Secretary Wilbur back to Washington by President Coolidge at a time when the naval secretary ; still had at least five definite dates unfilled on his speaking program In the west remained unexplained today beyond the disclosure at the White House that President Cool idge desired to talk with him about several matters "in the navy." ' Early in the day it was indi cated that budget matters, relating to appropriations desired by the navy, particularly for repair and modernization of battleships and -for aviation development, had promptedtthe president's telegram to Mr. Wilbur. Later, however, ft was said that Mr. Coolidge had other matters in mind' which he wished to talk over with Mr. Wil bur and probably would not have summoned the secretary because of the budget situation alone. ' No statement was available as to what tlrse other matters In cluded. During the secretary's absence from Washington, differencea of opinion between the navy depart ment and the budget bureau have arisen, over estimates to be sub mitted to congress for the navy during the coming year. While there have been indications that this dispute was In a fair way to' be adjusted by a compromise plan' satisfactory both to navy and bud get officials it appeared possible that matters had developed in the course of the discussion : which prompted Mr. Coolidge to request his naval secretary to expedlt hia , return'. At an rate it was disclos ed at the White House today that Mr. Cool idee had civ-en cnnnlder- able thought recently to the ques-, tion of naval expenditures and aviation development due to reprer, sentations that have been made to him by those who believe that aerial warfare and navigation have progressed to a point where the relative value of airships and bat tleships must be weighed.
