"WHY I FAVOR THE INCOME TAX'
k Under the above heading, State Treasurer Thomas B. Kay
makes a statement to the press, released yesterday
Published in The Statesman of this issue.
" The statement is worthy of careful reading, and will have
such attention at the hands of the people of Oregon, for Mr.
K&y stands high in their estimation as a man of honor and
jugm0t.j; He is the best pasted man, in Oregon on the
financial condition of the commonwealth. This is well known.
f Mr. Kay, as he says, has not been in favor of the income
ta!d He gives to the people 6i Oregon the reasons why he
is in favor of the present income tax bill, to be voted on a
weak from Tuesday, together with its companion bill. There
isan emergency. No one knowsj'this better than Mr. Kay
TH0 following two concluding paragraphs of Mr. Kay's state
mint sum up the whole matter, and make plain the impera
ti ve duty of the voters of this state :
"It should be distinctly borne in mind, however, that
unless both the income tax act and the measure providing
for reestablishing the property tax base are both concur
rently adopted the financial condition of the state of Oregon
will remain as at present and the state will be required to
bqrrow from outside sources in order to pay current expenses.
"IN MY OPINION THESE MEASURES CONSTITUTE
THE ONLY PRESENT SOLUTION TO THE FINANCIAL
PROBLEM WITH WHICH THE STATE IS CONFRONTED
AND FOR THAT REASON I GIVE THEM MY SUPPORT."

The following news item was
sent as a special to The Statesman
from the Associated Press at Port
land last night:
"Moderate temperature prevails
over the Columbia river drainage
basin. The lower Columbia, and
the Willamette at Portland, will
rise slowly Friday and Saturday,
reaching about 23.1 feet at Port
land Saturday, and remain nearly
stationary Sunday. A further rise
may occur later if extremely warm
weather sets in."
Strawberry Men Interested
Our strawberry growers and
packers are very much interested'
in the above scrap of news. If
"extremely warm weather" does
not come in the next few days, the
basements of the cold storage
warehouses at Portland may not
be so flooded with the back water
of the Columbia in the Willamette
rfver as to stop the freezing of
the barreled berries from the Sa
lem district
And that will make a big dif
ference in the "Saving of the straw,

A Foot to Go
The Columbia River paper mills
at Vancouver, in which many Sa
lem people are interested, was in
danger yesterday of a shut down.
which would be costly. The wa
ter was within a foot of the stage
mat would cause the shut down
J rom tne above news item. It
would appear that this may be
avoided. The only thing to be
feared is "extremely warm weath
er" in the. next few days i the
great Interior district drained by
the Columbia river and its tribu
taries.

CARRY ON, CLEAN UP
"5 ttg
(Portland Journal.)
'Oregon Is in the midst of a plan to make the future safe for
recreation and the outdoors. The closing of the Willamette to com
mercial fishing is part "of what has been accomplished. The closing
of the Nestucca, a stream of the Oregon coast, to commercial fishing
Is ipart of the plan, but on June 28 the voters of Oregon will decide
by1 referendum whether the thousands who seek the pleasure of the
outdoors or, the few shall av the benefit of the river. It is an
Instance where closing really means the opening of the river for all
time.
"The game commission is studying the Rogue river. How far may
commercial fishing go before destroying the resource that makes the
fishing attractive from the business point of view? Sooner or later,
an,d safer it sooner, the line must be Bet. Beyond that line civiliza
tion cannot exploit the resources of nature without disappearance of
&l the joy and life of field and stream.
"In some states people hear of the game hog. He is pictured as
going out to fish in Bilk stockings and possibly spats. His great and
only interest is to pursue wild life insatiably 'until it is all gone. That
is the conventional portrait of the sportsman.
I "In Oregon It Is different. The Multnomah Hunters and Anglers
club has many hundred members who are devoted to the conservation
of jWild life. They aid the legislature and the game commission In
seeing what can be done to have fish in the streams in the tomorrow
oliOregon. Some of them have voluntarily circulated petitions to
reduce the daily bag limit.
Tr'This is sanity. It is appreciation. What a poor Oregon this
wqijld be if no pool revealed leaping trout and no estuary its fighting
sajmoni ' r i 4 riUiH
: 1 , . .
SThe above from' the Portland Journal is to the point
If And the progrrafn, for cleaning up the, streams of Oregon,
including: the Columbia river, must gof on must go to the
lirfiit of wise conservation -ln
order that future generatipns may enjoy game fisffing,
and commercial fishing, too, under limitations allowing the
propagation of the fish'; allowing the fish to get to their
spawning grounds, and Assisting spawning to the end that
there may be no lessening of the supply.
Thus the fishing industry of Oregon .may be increased ten
fold, or more.
' The fish in Oregon streams belong to all the people of this
state, and not to a destructive few. And the featement goes
for the game.
's It would be the part of slothfulness to allow this great
asset to be wantonly destroyed. Oregon has made a good
start, and must go on to the end of the chapter.

INCOME TAX LAW NEED
SEEN BY THOMAS KAY

deterrent effect upon the establish
ment of new manufacturing and
industrial enterprises within the
state.
, Approves Xew Plan
Notwithstanding this fact I now
believe that the present income
tax law to be submitted to popular
vote on June 28 irext should be
approved.
The condition of the finances of
the state of Oregon at the present
time calls for emergency relief
and warrants the enactment of a
reasonable law to provide neces
sary revenue for state purposes.
I consider the terms and provi
sions of the proposed income tax
law fair and reasonable.
While the objection that Oregon
wouia be tne only western state
with an income tax law would still
exist if the present measure is ap
proved by the people, the proposed
iaw is nevenneiess much more
equitable in its provisions than
was the previous law in operation
in Oregon or those voted upon at
the November election.
i ne . exigency of the present
situation renders imperative the
passage oi laws wnicn wm pro
vide the funds with which to pay
state obligations based upon legis
lative appropriations in, excess of
current revenue. r
Meets Difficulty
The income tax law together
with the? companion measure pro
viding for an amendment to the
constitution authorizing a prop
erty tax levy in December, 1928,
of 13,500,000 plus six per cent
thereof less estimated receipts
from income taxes during the year
1929, and authorizing for ensu
ing years a successive increase at
the rate of six per cent, less esti- j
mated receipts from income taxes, I
would provide the necessary
revenues.
These measures, if approved,
would serve the further purpose of
relieving to a considerable extent
the tax burden on real property.
The burden, in fact, would be
shifted to incomes received by per
sons who at present are paying
little if any of the expense of state
government.
It should be distinctly borne in
mind, however, that unless both
the income tax act and the meas
Bre providing for reestablishing
the property tax base are both
concurrently adopted the financial
condition of the state of Oregon
will remain as at present and the
state will be required to borrow
from outside sources in order to
pay current expenses.
In my opinion these measures
constitute the only present solu
tion to the financial problem with
which the state is confronted", and
for that reason I give them my
support.

The subject of algebra proved

in the-way of progress for high

Eight per cent of the students
enrolled in the department failed

failures were in algebra, her re

the department received the high
