But it was under the stim ulus of giving a proper burial to the state treasury deficit that the last legislature passed some laws which promise to yield the desired results. Oregon taxpayers who are busy now figuring up their annual debt to Uncle Sam, find a new collector peering over the left shoulder. That is the state tax commission seeing if you have to pay a tax on income from intangibles. ' , If you received over ?200 income during 1929 in the form of interest or dividends, then you have to pay the "in tangibles" tax of five per cent on such excess. Thus if you received $1000 in interest and dividends, you are allowed $200 credit, making your tax base $800. The amount you have to pay to the state treasury then is $40. -All those people who have been thinking of the "intangibles" tax as one which wouldn't touch them, but would touch some tax dodger in Portland or Pendleton, will find out this month or next that their pocketbooks are in for a nice set-back. Here are the simple provisions of the new law: Your return must be sent to .March. You must report all your income received in the form of inter est on bonds, notes, mortgages, claims (excluding honk acrnnnt also dividends on stock in corporations.

Business corporations after computing the amount of the excise tax due the state may offset this amount by the amount of the tax they pay on personal propery in the state up to 10 of said personal property tax. The minimum excise tax is $25.10 for the "privilege of doing Here is an example. Suppose 110,800. Then its excise Ux is $500. Suppose it paid $400 personal property tax in1929. Then the offset credit is $560. and the net excise tax to be paid is $140. If its offset credit wiped the tax all out. the corporation would have to pay Certain corporations are exempt such as labor, agricultural, charitable, cemetery, farmer's co-operative and similar corporations; also chambers of commerce, mutual insurance companies, real estate holding companies, public utilities. Half the tax must be paid whea the return is filed and the other half by the first of October. Relief for Aging Motorists A Swiss has invented a device for opening garage doors without getting out of the car. Remember the old "patent gates" which one was supposed to be able to work without getting out of the buggy? How many of thenl were patented and sold, and how few of them really worked 1 And garage doors partake of many of the perversities of the old farm gates which were forever breaking down or sagging. Think of all the swear words that have been wasted on balky gates that would neither open nor shut. Garage doors have been almost equally troublesome. The ones running on patent tracks are always sticking be cause the wheels run off the track. Or the wind may blow the swinging door off its hinges. Then car hubs have, a singular attraction for garage doors or door frames, and many are the bent fenders caused by failing to clear the door. All success to Mr. Swiss with his patent door. We are lazy too and hate to alight from a car to open the garage door. But remembering the poor investments in the patent swinging gates we shall wait to see just how successful this automatic opener proves to be before signing the order blank. The Court of Last Resort The old files of The Statesman were resorted to successfully last week in establishing the birth date f the late Lloyd Farmer. Fam ily records were missing and no other written records could be found until The Statesman was consulted. In the issue for Oct. 7, 1888, a birth notice appeared telling of the birth of a ton to Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Farmer, with the added line: "This is the second son and he Is a daisy." Lloyd being the second son la the famUy, this estab lished his birth date. The information was required in filling out insurance forms. Founded in 1851, The Statesman has chronicled events large and small for nearly 80 years, and it is not surprising that it is fre quently referred to in verifying old The fire boys are human. likeable fellows. Their lives are in rather a narrow groove and if they should undertake some pastime for mental Improvement and to broaden their general knowledge, they would be nippier for it.

HENDRICKS Troublous days: b The events spoken of yeeter- day in this column transpired none too soon. The vision of Jes se Applegate In bringing about the organlzatfcm of the machinery of a popular and efficient torn of government, which joined the lion and the eagle, was a consum mation that set in motion the functions of that government in the nick of time. Applegate saw that in extend ing the jurisdiction of the provi sional government over the ter ritory in which the Hudson's Bay company was active and had the bulk of its property would out law that great concern should its officials refuse to pay taxes and abide by the laws of the provi sional government. S Dr. McLoughlin, head of the company for that vast region, knew that if the lands it claimed were taxed, or even its other prop erty and its business. It might be obliged to pay more than all the American settlers combined. Ap plegate said: To organise a civil or military power that did not In clude all parties was simply or ganising internecine war. To pre vent 'such a state of things, I took a seat in the legislature." a - w He did more. He dominated that body. He was the most con spicuous figure In the 184S legis lature. He saw that if the Hud son Bay company were outlaw ed, its property would be at the mercy of lawless characters. A man named Chapman boasted that he had come all the way from the states to burn Fort Vancouv er. Dr. Mcuoughiin was well aware of such threats. So was Ap plegate. In June Dr. McLough lin had received in answer to his call on the directors of his com pany in London a communication informing him that in the pres ent state of affairs the company could not obtain protection from the government, hut it must pro tect itself the best way it could. In the Judgment of McLoughlin, the best way to protect the com pany's property was to accept the Invitation tendered by the Ameri cans to Join In the government organisation. He knew the sin cerity of Applegate. He weU knew the sentiments of Applegate on the plains as the wagon train of the 184 immigration, which he led, approached its destination. So the compromise was made and it is not too much to say that it probably prevented war between Great Britain and the United States. . 1 V A few days after the compro mise settlement was made, there arrived from Puget Sound, in company with Peter Skeen Ogden, chief factor. Lieutenant William Peel, third eon of Sir Robert Peel, and Captain Park, of the royal marines, with a letter from Cap tain John Gordon, brother of the earl -of Aberdeen, and comman der of the British fifty-gun ship of war America, of the British squadron of the Pacific, at that time amounting to IB vessels, car rying over 410 guns! Captain Park brought also a letter from Admiral Seymour, la forming Dr. McLoughlin that firm protection would be given British subjects in Oregon, and; not long after, another letter from Captain Baillie of the Modesto, which had been In the Columbia the previous summer. Informed him that lie was sent by the ad miral to afford protection to net majesty's subjects in Oregon, it they ret ulred it. "Had these proffers of erotee "on. waieh, really meant , war, come fa the month of June ia stead of August, said Bancroft la I his Oregon history, volume 1, page 407, "the Oregon question I would have taken a different THE MODERN TREND ' ' - - . - "i : " " .t T "t VuttJAT tall t AA& , f0 VWTS TO rfc TO TVWT ' pi WGOWTO IS Ar &4 Jf" turn. McLoughlin could not then have refuted to nave the com pany's property protected, espe cially after having expressed his fears, as he did in 1844. Nor did he refuse it now; although, as he says, ha was at first Inclined to do so, thinking- himself safe threngb. the organization; bat Douglas suggested thst it would be well to have the Modesto in the river, in View of the threatening aspect of the political horizon, and the largo Immigration ex pected In the autumn." (Douglas was second In command at Fort Vancouver.) w "I have no doubt, from the evi dence," ears Bancroft, "that the visit of Park and Peel, together with the act of McLoughlin la joining the compact of the provi sional government, saved the County a war, and influenced the final settlement of the boundary question. When they came to Vancouver they expected to main tain England's hold on the worth side ot the Columbia river; but they found the Hudson's Bay com pany bound in an agreement ot mutual protection with tbe Am ericans; they learned the fearless and resolute character of the col onists, and their rapidly increas ing numbers, and were constantly checked in their expressions of hostility by McLoughlin, who as sured them, and even wrote to England, that the country 'was not worth a war. S It was said that Captain Gordon ot the America, when questioned. agreed with McLoughlin, that the country was not worth a war," but on entirely different grounds. He was speaking liter ally, because he found the Nis qually (Washington) plains a bed of gravel; and because, being fond ot angling, the salmon would not rise to a fly. A country where the fish were not lively enough for his sport was in bis estimation worthless. But tbe sal moa were not the only fish in Oregon that refused to rise to the fly of the British angler. It seems a strange quirk ef fortune that the habits of onr royal Chinook salmon may hare contributed to the averting of a bloody war in the days of the prevalent sent! meat or, tbe slogan, "S4-40 or fight!" Lieutenant Peel aad Captain Park visited Jesse Applegate at his -home near where Dallas is new. The yonne lieutenant was pleased with his .visit there. The- "sage ef roncalla" gave him an account of the 1843 Immigration, and Lieutenant Peel declared that such men as composed it must "make the best soldiers- in the world," with a new comprehen sion ot what it would be to fight them. Mr. Applegate said: told him that they were probably brave enough, but would never submit toxdisclpline as soldiers: that If the president himself had Started across the plains to com mand ; a company, the first time he should choose a bad camp, or in any other way offend them, they would turn him out, and elect some one among themselves who should suit them better." (This gives a glimpse ef the troubles Jesse Applegate had with his famous "cow column" ot the 1848 immigration train; they were "good and plenty."! S The world knows with what anxiety 'the Oregon pioneers iwaited ' the issue la 1141 and ll4f,while the Fisgari. big Brit ish war ship with 41 guns; re mained on Puget Sotnd and the Modesto, 18 guns, held watch at Vancouver en the Columbia, and the diplomats la London, aad at Washington idiscassed the eettle meat tf the "vexed boundary ques tion, j Lieutenant Peel .hastened homo by the quickest possible route, by way of Vera Cms, aad was la Leaden' ia' January, lS4f V - I V 111 M , W.

McLoughlin had told him, In answering a charge Of helping the American settlers that ever since 1S26, when Jede olab. Smith, Sublette and Jackson led their trapping parties west of the Rockies, the Americans had outnumbered the British in the Oregon country. S Jesse Applegate lies ia a more or less neglected grave near the Pacific highway close to his Ton calla home in Douglas county, be side his wife. The Bits man in his youth knew him well, with the rest ot the Applegates; but he was too young then to realize what an Important part he played in making this coast American excepting the part of it in Brit ish Columbia and In preventing the war that Bancroft says would have resulted, except for his vi sion and ability. m .

Tennrien Tennyson seems quaintly Vic torian to ultra moderns. Contrast the fluid melody of his poetry with the turgid, disturbing verse sold- In the poetry markets Qf to day. Tennyson's simple faith in tested virtues and in the old mores is vastly different from the lacerating criticism of modern Menckens. Over halt a century ago Tennyson invoked the usher ing in ot better days. Has his prayer been satisfied? Have the Jubilant bells which year after year have welcomed the new year rung in those "nobler modes of life, with sweeter manners" which the calm,' self-possessed Tennyson yearned-for? Our religion has made a fetish of strict morality. The "ten com mandments" with all their pro hibitions have been set up as all sufficient, especially if a little Christian charity be added. Ly ing, thieving, inchastity these have been the sins to be denoun ced. The puritan virtues have been glorified as the complete moral catolog for youth and ma turity. And our New Year resolu tions are usually designed to re store these old standards of per sonal virtue. The self-development which stops with compliance with the ten commandments may be quite e gnarled, starved and ctunted de velopment. In fact the fellow who like a pharlsee observes every Jot and tittle of the decalog may be mean, suspicious, abusive, vindic tive, unloved in the home and de spised in business. His narrow adherence to a set code has dwarf ed him. Better tor him to go out and sin some to make himself more human and mere lovable. Character is more than obed ience to "thou shalt nots. Its cultivation comes not through negatives but through positives. It may be frozen by committing a catechism or reciting a creed. There are other and broader vir tues than those fundamental es sentials which are embraced In the ten commandments. It was of them that Tennyson wrote when he hailed the happy bells to "ring In the nobler modes of life,, with sweeter manners." May we not set forth some im perative commandments which might . give in this busy age a closer realization of those nobler modes of life of which the poet sang? Here are some suggestions: J.

Whooping cough Is believed by some scientists to be doe to a germ called the "bacillus pertussis. This big name has a dreadful sound, but, although the ailment Is an uncomfortable one, H is not necessarily dangerous. This la true If the patient has the best of care both during the run of the disease and during convalescence. It is natural to think of whooping eongn as exclusively a disease of childhood. Aj a matter of fact some ef the worst eases I ever say were those in grown persons. For an older person it may be a very serious trouble. Whooping cough begins like a cold, with a running nose and redness of the eyes. There is likely to be fever and a dry, hard cough. It is essential that the patient rest in bed dur az the acute stage and that he have fresh air j!T. a u eV.nnM kam tha sunniest a. rfw. familv. This dition.

The disease always runs Its course, but sensible care win to his leisure. The one is absorb ed so completely In his commercial enterprise that bis finer nature suffers atrophy. The other may be ruined by his leisure, hours of idleness to be squandered. Master your time. 2. Cultivate friendship. Not ustmeet many people and get ac quainted with them. Select a con genial group and learn to know them, and to let them know you. Build a structure ot friendship wherever you live with as much earnestness as you plan and build a house to dwell in. And cour tesy Is the gateway to friendship. t. Use your imagination. See something to do today you have been overlooking tor months with out realising it. Jab yourself to keep awake mentally. The rut will get you if you don't watch out. 4. "Re-create" yourself phys ically and spiritually. A Sunday motor trip to the beach or the lake with a big picnic dinner? No. Maybe just going down on the river bank and watching the water for a spell; or a slow walk in the woods; or a not-too-tense round of golf, Real communion with nature. Spiritual "re-creation. Going to church? Perhaps; but really learning to worship. Not going through the routine ot a church service, but losing one's self in it so the toxins ef spiritual fatigue are washed away in the music, the prayer and the praise of a wor shipful service. As Wordsworth wrote, after telling how the shell at one's ear echoes its native sea: "Evsa rack a eh ell tka universe itself Is t tha ear ef faith: ant then are I oWbt ot, whea to r it doth Impart Avtftmtte tidiagt t lartiibl. thine ; Of est Sol ftar, aai evsr-daring Pwr; And central mc, luluiftinf at tke kemrt Of MdlMi agitation." Learn to worship. "The year is dying in the night"; and each year dies again. We have not yet rung out the false, rung out the feud of rich and poor,-rung out the want, the care, the sin, rung out false pride In place and blood, rung out the narrowing lust of gold. We have not yet rung in the true, rung In tbe common love of good, rung in the Christ that Is to be. Tenny son's hope is not yet realized. But there can be no finer ideal for 1930 than to labor for the nobler modes of life in the in dividual ani. in the social rronn. I A- Taylor l CLOUGH -TAYLOR COMPANY I lamfly, Awisant II WW?! 205 S.

For instance, there aie three hatching la Oregon that we can recall at the present writing and no doubt we can recall less than ten percent ot them. The three, however, happen to be In the cur rent news. One is an effort by Salem Interests to get tbo govern ment to help build a road aeross the Cascades from the state capi tal. Another is a measure Senator McXary has been asked to intro duce to provide a governmental expenditure of $125,009 for a "Memorial Hail, or some such monument, to be erected at Cham poeg, which seems to us to be a ridiculous piece of hooey. Another is tbe effort ot Port land interests to get the govern ment to ease up on the price it has put on the present federal build ing site in Portland. The site has been appraised at 91,750,000. The gold fish and fountain interests want Portland to buy the site and make it into a public park, which seems to us as silly an Idea as anybody could think of. Here is e valuable building site directly in the center of town which would bring Portland thousands of dol lars ia taxes every year, aad yet. some civic perfume spreaders waat It made In to a park, end want the government to help. Portland has several blocks ot park less than a quarter of a mile off the pro posed aesthetic center. In less than three minutes, every soul in Portland could get to the tall tim ber on either side of town. Yet, the chiffon trimmings experts would take the eity's most valu able building site and make It a refuge for gold fish and loafers. Such a program is entirely in keeping with the hokum spread ing uplift motto In Portland We Do. Corvallis Gazette-Times. The University of North Car olina boxing team.
