Now when an editor is as clear headed as that why did he think that editorials were a useless-adjunct of the- modern daily? The editor "sticks his spear into numerous varsity traditions which he labels as "timedestroying." They are, or worse. . - C" " .Take campus honorary fraternities.- They are nothing but a bowl of mush without any cream. -Promoted often times by wholesale, jewelry houses and rah-rah graduates looking for soft secretarial jobs, these bogus f rats are noth ing but a burden On students and prof s.

It is putting the Greek alphabet to an unwar ranted burden, which it was never designed to carry. .., - To the outside world membership in one of these fake frats is meaningless. -The college diploma stands for some - thing but that gets a heavy discount in the. field of practi cal work and living. -i: r. . We hope the Emerald editor continues to confine his . "enthusiastic support" to the more worth-while" adjuncts of university lifer-and-particularly that he continues his edi torials resumed now after so much agitation. v Less Government in Business , T ESS government i& business" has been a captivating JLl. phrase .which hung over from the Harding days along with "back to normalcy." The fact is that government is a lusty partner in business. It is a "silent partner! in theU. S Steel corporation, American Tel. and'TeU Pennsylvania railroad, JnP. Morgan, Henry Ford, Mellon, Durant und so weiter. How? Through the income tax. We caught the significance of this in a quotation of the remarks of Senator Smoot who said that the $100,000,000 surplus this year was too narrow a margin to warrant a new tax reduction. "Most of the profits going to make up the increased taxes received this year by the government were from a rising stock market." So says the Utah senator. So the government is-not only a business partner but it is in terested in Wall Street speculation. Uncle Sam is canny. He shares the profits but not the losses. If the market goes .up, he wins; if it goes down, they lose. 1 The government has a vital stake in prosperity through the agency of the income tax.- Getting its percentage of the profits makes the government "interested in : plus incomes. Kings of old were active stockholders in maritime and com mercial ventures. Leopold of Belgium countenanced the horrors of the Congo that he might profit in the trade in ivory and other products. -.--It is not inconceivable that the government to preserve its tax revenues might wink its eye sometimes over deals of modern business. ; v ; 1 At any rate so long as the income tax prevails business has to figure on the liberal, withdrawals of the silent part ner,' Uncle Sam. u . - t - ;:; , -u- '. kk Praise for Van Duzer - ' Henry B. Van Duzer has been reappointed by Ihe governor as a member of the state highway commission. : This is another of the executive's admirable appointments. Mr. Tan Duxer has had fonr years experience, and he has the poise, the obstinacy and -the" hard headedness' necessary for this Terr difficult Job.. ; 7 : There is one thing that Mr. Van Dnser might do, which he 'has mot done. That wonld be to consent to the Issuance of bonds at the. rate of 11.060,009 per annum, la order that ome ot our unfinished tat roads might be completed. In other words, we wish Mr. Van Duxer could get the point of view of the people who lire along the - coast of Lane and Lincoln and Douglas counties, and of those who hare been patiently waiting for years for decent highway connection ver In central Oregon. . ;- . - . .v - - Obstinacy is a fine characteristic but there is such a thing as Bushing it too far. Oregon City Enterprise. f- There are only two objections we have-to these com ments of Editor Brodie. One is his economics and the other his philosophy. The state is fed up on bond issues for awhile; Issuing a million a year delays getting the state out of its financial mud. And we believe with the funds available work can be pushed in quite satisfactory manner on the Roosevelt-and central Oregon Toads. I; v Nor do we rate obstinacy as a Vfine characteristic." De fined as "firm and usually unreasoning adherence to an opinion," obstinacy rates with us as objectionable.. It is the prevailing characteristic when discussion of an income: tax bobs up. -:. k ' ' " - : ' -5 v ; Back to Missouri Z. T' . CfENATOR JBf REED has y shed his toga and vented his last senatorial spleen. Kan sas City gave him a big banquet which is different from nis reception after his break with Wilson when his home state refused to make:hinva delegate to the party convention at San Francisco. This time he was invited to speak before the state legislature, which he did and didn't discuss prohibition : either..". ' " ki 'i t. is -reported .that when Reed left Washington he showed no mellowing of spirit. He was asked if he minded to leave Washington. He replied: "Do I mind leaving Wash ington?

Tis would indicate that the chan ces of a murderer . Hanging : are about equal to his chances of be- In? atetfoed on by an elephant Th business of murdering people is; in fact, safer than rauroaoing or football. Thus S S years, ago there was the same complaint in America that we hear today. Murder, kill ings, shootings, crime rampant and th law bavins: little success in bringing tho guilty parties to Jus tleal Our murder have been mul tlnlld lnea that day but the pro portion ot murderers meeting with the full penalty for their crimes has not increased, we venture to Tho charge is often made that there- is more ot murder in the United States than in any other civilised county of the globe, and it is apparent that as far back as 1SS 4 there was something wrong with our machinery for dealing with killers. Astoria Budget. DOES A COIXKGK EDUCATION rAXT v Dr. Harold F. Clark of Columbia University, has discovered that a college education does not pay, as far as dollars and cents are con corned. 4 " - - After a year's research he main tains th college-bred man is too "pensive and hesitant" for the Cask of money making, when dar ing and courage are the prime ne cessities. . . ' And this recent erase 'for1 edu cation has so inflated the supply of educated young men that the man who hasgone into business instead of. 'college has a better chance of making money than the college graduate. . That a number of young people have gone and are going to college who might better have gone Into some business, no thoughtful per son will deny. There has been a "craze" for college education, and a large and constant factor of any erase is waste. 4 . But this does not prove a cOl lege education does not pay. For the value ot an education cannot be and should not be measured in dollars and cents. That it has been Is not the' fault ot education but the fault of this money-mad and materiallstle age. Education is not a financial. bat a spiritual and intelhtetual in vestment. It pays not la, dollars and cents, but in a fuller and rich er life, . And a college education, in our Judgment,' la a paying investment, whenever it turns out a young manor woman who'can truthfully be "educated." , . - For with that education come resources and delights within the individual, a pleasure in reading, a delight In travel, a fondness for the sciences and arts which the uneducated person is denied. , There is, in fact, few objects In life more pathetic, than th indi vidual who has made' a success in money making and nothing else- whose mental and spiritual hori zon is to limited that when the sest of money making is over life is over. The man or woman truly edu cated (and ot course -it is possi ble to be educated without attend .ing college) may suffer many tra gedies, but not this-one. The divi dends of education are paid in a higher currency than dollars and ee nts.

It was a notable meeting. All the Boston papers played it up. The secre tary of the club wrote Mr. Haw ley that his speech was "one of tho best if not tho best ever de livered at a Home Market club banquet,"and ' he - said - that so many congratulatory -, telephone messages had been received' that he had decided to print tho speech in pamphlet fOrm,- instead of rely ing entirely on tho club's paper, "Tho-Protectionist," to get a wide distribution of it; ' ' ' - . V The secretary, added that Sen ator, William M. Butler was one among tho many who telephoned.

' The Methodist conferences ot the territory covering all ol the original Oregon Country are on record as favoring promoting in Salem and this district a great centenary celebration of tho com ing of the missionaries in 1934. That Is good; but it is not enough. The time is only six years away. A committee should be at work now, representing the official and commercial life of the states ot tho Pacific northwest, together with th Willamette university and the Methodist ehhrch of this section 'and th United States as a whole, and all the rest of the world with sub-cf mmlttees with power to make and forecast def inite programs, to th end that nothing that should have early at tention may be overlooked; and ther aro many such.
