ijuwn me oriice is luu ox me menace ox uungue, assassina
tion and rebellion. Current History for this month has an
article which begins "The old palace of the viceroys jives
7 forth today an impression of peace and good cheer. The dis
play of power, the atmosphere of severity, fear and tragedy,
which the continuous presence of military, presidents cre
ated therein, have disappeared."
The impression of peace and good cheer may have -prevailed
a few weeks ago when the article was written, but the
old palace had an over-night change of color. The unmilitary
President Gil had to turn it into an army headquarters. It
became the G. H. Q. of the national government when the
flames of revolt burst out at Vera Cruz, Juarez, Chihuahua,
and Lower California. Calles, the strong man of the coun
try, was called back to authority. Suppressing the rebellion
became the business of the day.
People in the United States do not know yet what the
fighting is all about. They do not know just which way to
let their neutrality lean. It is a hard predicament for our
self-righteous folk who think they ought to be partisan al
ways to whatever side through its skillful propaganda get3
itself set up as having the most "righteous" cause. This
condition will not last long, however. The propaganda will
soon be coming and we will know which side to line up with.
The administration apparently knows that already for it is
accommodating the Gil administration with surplus war
' material.
Mexico is an example of a country that makes a busi
ness of war and politics. It is so poorly developed econom
ically the people have to resort to fighting and office-holding
to make a living. The racial base is Indian and the racial
top is Spanish. The Indian masses are ignorant and illiter
ate. The top layers naturally want to exploit the ldwer lay
ers in the name of national development. Diaz permitted it;
the country had peace and did "develop."
The revolution of 1910 and since has sought to bring
Mexico into both political and economic liberty through va
rious reform measures. For one thing they have made the
state supreme, adopting; harsh measures toward the church
which formerly was dominant. They 'have tried to parcel
out the big land holdings, nationalize oil and mineral lands,
and promote popular education. It has been a large con
tract. When all the disaffected elements run together they
think they can stage a real respectable rebellion and they
seem to be doing it.
The rebels will lose out, because the federal forces have
the army, the" machine guns and the money. It is probably
as well that they do; otherwise the country would be plunged
into long-continued strife. Events south of the Rio Grande
show however that it is never very hard to substitute bul
lets for ballots. -
Let the People Rule
mHE Portland Oregonian chides the Portland Journal with
X deserting its much-vaunted faith in democracy and "let-the-people-rule"
stuff because the Journal supports the in
come tax adopted by the last legislature. The income tax,
the Oregonian does not fail to remind us, has been voted
down some nine times by the people of the state, and so re
cently as last November. The Oregonian seizes for once the
mock heroics of the Journal which is supposedly the simon
pure defender of majority rule and popular rights.
Of course when the Oregonian refers to the people and
the Journal refers to the people they are not talking about
the same thing at alL The Oregonian is talking about the
people and the Journal is talking about the "pee-pul". In
this instance The Oregonian's people are against the income
tax; and the Journal's pee-pul are "fer it." They aren't talk
ing about the same class at all.
At the last election to be sure the "people" outvoted the
"pee-pul" on the income tax question; but that doesn't con
vince the Journal that the "people'-should enjoy the victory
for long. The "pee-pul" won the income tax election in 1923
but that didn't deter the Oregonian from seeking a reversal
of; the verdict the following year.
' Strangely enough the legislature passed two income tax
bills which have met with no protest the so-called excise
tax and intangibles tax measures both income tax meas
ures of limited application.
I The legislature had to pass an income tax; they'd have
felt like they had forgotten something if they hadn't. They
knew if they didn't pass an income tax bill another one
would be proposed at the next election anyway. We have
just gotten the income tax voting habit in this state. It
wouldn't be an election if the question of passage or repeal
or both were not on the ballot. So the legislature passed
three income tax bills, and provided for an extra election in
between times in case the people or the "pee-pul" wanted to
get in some additional voting on this perennial tax question.
: The real opportunity The Oregonian -lost was in con
demning the income tax legislation recommended by the
Carkin commission. It had a chance for leadership then;
and its sponsorship would have been a valuable factor in the
sound readjustment of the state's taxing system. It op
posed this measure of the Carkin commission, which per
mitted the more ardent friends of the income tax to get the
present measure enacted. The legislature was not false to
public faith. It was. the doctor and prescribed medicine
which the Oregonian and its ''people" find hard to take.
' ; . : '
I Protecting Bank Depositors
ONE of the things the Oregon legislature didn't do was to
pass or even to propose a bill for the state guaranty of
bank deposits. This remnant of Bryanism has died a hard
death, and a costly one. It was: costly to solvent banks that
were members of guaranty systems and costly to depositors
who thought the system. was going to protect them. This
first got vogue in this country when Bryan was writing the
Oklahoma constitution. It was a product of mid-western
populism, of individual depending on the state like a wet
nurse. , ! - ' ..
Eight states tried Bryan's idea of guaranteeing deposits
in state banks. In all but two of the states the system has
completely broken down. Oklahoma repealed her law in
1923 with her guarantee fund about eight million dollars in
the hole. In Washington the law lasted from 1917 to 1921,
all the banks withdrawing from the system but not until
the fund was hopelessly involved likewise the plan broke
down in Texas, North and South Dakota, Mississippi and Ne
braska. In Kansas the banks are withdrawing as fast as
they can under the law. Nebraska has its guaranty fund
aome ten million dollars behind. The solvent banks are go
ing in to court to stop the assessments which are eating up
their earnings. "' ".-'Y ' ..
V Of course the guaranty system was satisfactory so long
as the banks didn't fail It couldn't stand tn in times of de
pression, and that was just when the depositor needed the
protection. Many of the depositors in those states felt they
had a claim against the state because the state nurtured the
plan and supervised the banks. The state always had a good
alibi just like Oregon has on its defaulted irrigation district
bonds even though they, bore a lot of state insignia. v
. Depositors have found out that their safety lies In the
integrity and capacity of the bankers they do business with.
Bankers have found they are better off to;stand on their
own bottom. Then they do not have to pay for the losses
of poor management. , The epidemic of bank failures which
affected the farming regions, after 1920 showed that some
thing was radically wrong with our banking methods, but the
guaranty system was a weak guy-rope that snapped with the
iirst wind. ' t

'The situation is like this: Not

.Besides this, not enough water

maintain the level ot the water in
the Irrigation wells of that state.
Their average depth has already

tions of the government to break
through the filibuster against re
apportionment. The assurances were given In
good faith and will be sustained
accordingly. Senator Yandenberg
made a game tight in the last ses
sion againat Insurmountable odds.
As a result, he succeeded la em
phasizing the issue to a degree
which propresies early results. He
could hare held this bill before the
senate to ne end of the final week
of the recent filibuster against it.
But he could not hare passed
the bill. It was physically Im
possible. He merely eould hare
caused the defeat of the supply
bills. These in turn would hare
to go over to the extra session
where they would hare again
jeopardise reapportionment. He
showed wisdom In accepting a

and it took more courage to make
this decision than to hare blun
dered into a futile Impasse.
We must hare an early census

is a mild statement that the delay
in reapportionment legislation has
been unfortunate. The senate must

Editors Say:
TAX REDUCTION SLIGHT
When tax-paying time rolls
'round, property owners do not
want to take too seriously the
statements being published in me
tropolitan papers that picture a
big reduction in property levies
as a result of the new tax meas
ures just passed by the legisla
ture. If the laws produce revenue
as anticipated, it Is true that much
of the money received from prop
erty owners now for state pur
poses will be available elsewhere.
But the state spends only a small
amount of our tax dollar and the
legislature has the .authority to
appropriate a still smaller amount.
Even though the excise and Intan
gibles tax provides enough money
to equal all that the legislature
can legally spend on its own re
sponsibility, the taxpayer in Un
ion county will be saved only about
7c out of every dollar in taxes he
pays. If his tax bill is now f 100 a
year, he can safely expect to have
it cut to something like f 93 but
that is all. Most of the Vest of it
goes for -schools, for county and
municipal purposes, tor expendi
tures that voters have obligated
the state for at the polls. The
change is, nevertheless, a step in
the right direction. LatGrande

MEANS "BIG BUSINESS"
Farming, under the Hoover
plan of relief, will be a "big bus
iness" through cooperation of in
dividual units.
If the plan Is to work, cooper
ative associations must be devel
oped to gigantic proportions, and
must extend to cooperative, mar
keting, rather than engaging most
ly in cooperative buying of sup
plies. The plan, advanced by Senator
McNary, of Oregon, provides a
three hundred million dollar fund
to be loaned cooperative associa
tions at four per cent interest.
The money will be used to hold
surplus stocks for higher markets,
and to advance money to farmers
during the storage period. As the
money Is to be loaned on surplus
commodities. - rather than to de
pressed districts, it Is evident that
in a diversified field there wl
probably be branches of half a
dozen cooperatives, each market
ing one commodity, rather than
one cooperative marketing all the
products of the district.
Increased tariff protection for
depressed commodities Is part of
the plan, but the bis; Idea is that
producers of a commodity must
market through a central agency
which they control, it they are to
be loaned government money with
which to hold their crops. Med

CHAPTER XL1X
BETTY'S conversation with Mr.
Smith, her former employer,
ended with his advice not to
get desperate and marry. It bad
been given with a laugh, but she
knew that his matrimonial exper
iment had not been satisfactory.
She doubted if hers would be if
she married George, because she
thought she should, rather than
because she wanted to.
Leaving Mr. Smith, she again
went to look over that salvation ot
the Jobless, the help wanted col
umns of the papers. She found an
advertisement of the United Hotel
Supply company for a secretary.
The ad was to be answered by let
ter, and no personal calls were al
lowed. It also specified that full
particulars must b given in the
first letter and sample of typing
and penmanship submitted.
Betty answered the ad to the
best of her ability, and sent with
her application the letter of rec
ommendation from Mr. Smith. She
had little hope of securing the po
sition, and was in doubt whether
to enclose the letter, lest it be lost,
but finally did so, requesting that
it be returned to her immediately
if her application was not consid
ered. She tried for another place the
same afternoon, but the wages
were so low she would not consid
er the position. The next morning
the postman brought her a letter
from the Hotel Supply company,
asking her to call at their offices
at 10:30. She was one ot three
applicants they had asked to call.
She was elated at the- prospect.
for she had not expected it. At the
office at the proper time she was
told to see the chief clerk. He was
a business like man who asked her
many questions, none of which.
.however, developed her dancing
career. He had called Mr. Smith
and that was what had influenced
him to send for her.
He picked up a newspaper from
his desk and dictated an editorial
then asked her to transcribe it. He
seemed satisfied with her work;
he told her he wanted a secretary
for the vice president. Before he
assigned her to this work he
wanted to try her out for himself.
As his secretary was now acting
as secretary to the vice president,
he would be better able to tell It
she would do if she would work
fer him for a day.
Her salary would depend en
tirely on her. The company was
very particular about their em
ployes, and wanted only those
willing to stay. Advancement was
sure.
"I am very anxious tor the po
sition," explained Betty. "It is ex
actly what I am looking for. X
care less about the salary to be
gin with than about the prospects
for advancement. I will be glad
to come in the morning and work
for you all day so you may see
that I am capable. '
At home that night she looked
up one ot the books George had
asked her to read when she first
went to work at the restaurant.
It had to do with equipment and
furnishings ot a restaurant. Betty
thought it might have some bear
ing on this business. 1
The following morning she took
dictation from the chief clerk. It
was about the very things of which
she read the night before. Not
once did she stop him to ask a
question.
During the morning a tele
phone call came for him while he
was busy talking to a salesman.
"Mr. Saunders is busy at the mo
ment," said Betty. "Will you hold
the wire Just a moment?" Saun
ders signalled for her to hold
him. "Just an Instant now and he

both Saunders and the salesman
laughing at her.
"Where did you get all that

"Out ot a book I read last

"That bird wanted to talk to

"You'll be lucky if he doesn't
