THERE will be no final settlement of Salem's water prob lem until the city owns and operates this vital utility. For decade after decade the city has postponed taking over the privately owned works and operating them by it self. Each decade has seen the price go up and up. Meantime the city pays and pays and pays. Ve are for municipal ownership of the water plant from principal and not because of any particular complaint against the present company. Rather VI fVPf"l u a that trie itv italr " J- fcaw a x-J M 4 system which is as vital to -breathe. Supplying water to that it is not a fit enterprise dominating interest must be President Elliott of the company thinks private owner ship is better because the private company can supply the funds necessary for plant extension. Our observation here in the northwest has been that the delinquents have been the private water companies. The private concerns will not move until they have to, they will not invest until they either are forced to or until they see a profit in sight from the invest ment. Just as often as not private concerns have been un able to finance the improvements which were really neces sary. The comparison of municipally-owned plants in the northwest with privately owned plants is all to the advant age of the former in the matter of rates, character of water supplied, and service. We have no quarrel with the Oregon-Wash .itonr Water Service company. If we are to have private op -ration this company is as well-connected arid as responsible as any. But Salem must look to the future and not alone to the present We are endeavoring to build here a city of size and import ance to the state and the Pacific slope. We want to locate Y 3 rd WlibTIV. now inrlitaf itaa on4 AnlntwA 1 J. I. We want to build hundreds of new homes in the next decade. For the security of the city we now have and for the speed ing of the city that will be, Salem should own and control and operate its water system. It must be able to assure industries of ample quantities of water at reasonable rates; it must be able to assure householders of ample quantities of pure water at reasonable rates. There is such a thing as competition among cities as well as among businesses; and the city which does not control its water system is at a disadvantage com pared with other cities that do. Our canneries for instance, large users of water, must compete with canneries in Port land, Yakima and Eugene where the cities have taken de cisive ateps to solve their water problems. So far as finance is concerned the problem is simple. Through our water rates we are paying the interest on the bonds of the private company and dividends on the stock. The same rates would pay the interest on the city's bonds to acquire the plant. We are paying for the plant now, but the addition of values that comes through the increase of popu lation accrues to the company, not to the public. That is pre cisely why the private owners wish to retain control. It is not for present but prospective profits. This is entirely legit imate so far as the company is concerned but stupid busi- iitss so lar as oaiem is concerned, ine nistory ot municipal water plants shows that they are uniformly successful. A city never turns its water plant over to a private company, but steadily cities are taking over the privately owned water plants. , So far as mountain water is concerned forget it for an -indefinite time. Years hence the city may want to go to the mountains for water. But the first step is to take over the plant we now have and when we get it paid for and when the city has grown considerably then it may be time to talk mountain water. For the present the Willamette water under proper filtration is entirely safe. We repeat, forget mountain water for a number of years. The first task is to acquire the plant. Then the city has command of the situation and can go to the mountains when it gets ready. There is no need for delay. It will be Noyember before a vote can be taken any way. The company will proceed with its filter and the city will simply have to reimburse them for the outlay. But the filter olant is pspnHl of ownership. The city should confer with the public service commission to see that its rights are protected in the matter of filter costs and capitalization for the improvement. The council committee has the responsibility of draft ing the necessary ordinance for submission to the people. Much will depend on the phraseology of the propositions sub mitted. If the council is disposed to play horse "with the pro position they can kill it; but if they do the public will hold it responsible. If Mayor Livesky, whose administration has been marked by many constructive enterprises, wishes to complete that program of forward-looking, constructive building for Salem, he should take the lead in accomplishing municipal ownership of our water system. A Hoover Breakfast 'A 'Hoover breakfast.' according to Representative Hawley, con sists ot grapefruit, omelet and batter cakes, followed by deara." Such is the news report of the breakfast given by Presi dent Hoover on his return from Florida to a group of rep resentatives and senators who are supposed to have some thing todo wi,th legislation on the tariff. Representative Hawley, who is chairman of the ways and means commit tee of the house, was among those present. While it is cus tom not to reveal what was discussed at the breakfast, the representativefrom Oregon was willing to reveal the menu of the breakfast. Perhaps that was what he was most in terested in. Senator Watson, famous old starwart, later admitted on the floor of the senate that the high tariff house bill "no longer exists" as in truth it does not. The senate coalition has torn .the bill to shreds, but the bill was widely condemned before the senate got hold of it The Hawley measure mark ed the' high tide of protective tariff rates. Th schedules could not be justified in the light of the changed conditions of our economic position, and if theyliad been enacted bit ter political reprisals might have followed on the party. It is refreshing to know that in spite of the stress and strain of tariff making and occupancy of the nfost import ant chairmanship in the house, the congressman from this district was able to enjoy , the Hoover grape-fruit and hot cakes. Thia will give him a new lecture topic for touring the district next summer. By the time' the gorernment a frwMwaw m V f n .

J. HENDRICKS- Tha Looney family: m Jesse Loonej, tat pioneer ot that name, was bora near Knox ville, Tenn. He was a first cousin of Andrew Jackson, president ot the United States. He was one of the leaders of the immigration of 1843, la a division ot the Apple gate corered wagon train; the other leaders in his particular di vision of that train being T. D. Kaiser and Daniel Matheny. Upon his arrival in the Oregon country Mr. Looney became Inter ested la community afafirs and was prominent In forward look ing matters up to the time of his death, on his land in the Looney neighborhood in the southern end of Marion county, March 25, 1869, at the age of 88 years. He was a member of the house of repre sentatives from Champoeg (after wards Marion) county in the leg islature of the provisional govern ment in 1846; an important ses sion In the affairs of the strug gling colony. t Jesse Looney had Inherited broad acres and numerous slaves, but early In life he espoused the ideas of human freedom and de cided to leave the land of his birth and its archaie traditions and seek a home where he could rear his family under influences to his liking. He brought his wife and six children on his long west ward journey across the trackless plains, roadless mountains and bridgeless streams. They prepared well, with three wagons loaded with supplies; one of the wagons built Ilk a boat, with light bottom, so as to get their goods over the streams where their oxen had to swim. So well snpplted were they that they had provisions left upon the arrival In the Oregon country; enough to spare for thefr more needy neighbors. Mrs. Looney was heard to remark often in after years that she was so well pro vided with supplies and help that the had an easy time crossing the plains. That was an unusual boast for those days when many suf fered much on the trip, and so many lost their lives. s The Looneyg spent the winter at the Whitman mission near where Walla Walla now stands, haviag arrived, late In the fall, and came to the . Willamette Tal ler In the spring, taking their do nation claim a boat 12 miles south of where Salem Is now. The over land stage station was on this land, called Looaey's Station and the Looney family provided the buildings and teed for the station up to the time when the railroad was built. - The first Looney dwelling was, of course, of logs. It stood where the home of N. H. ("Nod") Loon ey now Is, on the Pacific highway. There were Indian scares in the early days, and on time the na tives ran off some ot the Looney horses, giving rise to the skirm ish at Battle creek, where one of the Indians was killed, supposed ly by David Daley, who had to be kept In hiding at the Looney horn for a time thereafter, to prevent the enraged tribesmen from kill ing him, which they- threatened to do. Is Mr. Looney helped to build churches and school and assisted : materially Is establishing the Jet-: ferson Institute at the then vil lage ot Jefferson a few - mass north of his farm. He developed on t the finest orchards In the eouatry, and there were large shipment of apple to California In the gold rush days. An apple of 'enormous else was put late a box by Itself an dsold for fS In the California market. The first sewing machine in the Oregon country was at the Looney home. Say Bancroft's history: "On the 7th ot January, VP WT3 ) 1SS1. William Hamilton was shot and killed near Salem by William Kendall on whose land claim he was lirlng. A special term of court was held on the 28 th of March to try Kendall, who was defended by W. G. TVanlt and B. P. Hard ingconvicted, sentenced by Judge Strong, and executed on th 18th of April, there being at -th time no JaU in which to confine crim inals in Marioa county About th same time a sailor named Codk was shot by William Keen, a gambler, in a dispute abont a gam of ten-pins. Keen was also tried befor Judge Strong, con victed ot manslaughter and sent enced to six years la th peniten tiary. As the Jury had decided that he ought not to be hung and he could not be confined in an imaginary penitentiary, he pardoned by the governor." Kendall was arrested at Looney home, where he was the had sought shelter. Mrs. Looney was Ruby Bond before her marriage. Her grand father, John Grain, fought in the Revolution. He was a direct de scendant of George Walton, one of the signers of th Declaration of Independence, and also of the articles of federation oi behalf of Georgia. He became the first gov ernor of Georgia. V Mrs. Looney used to tell of the first wedding ceremony she at tended after arriving in Marion county, according to the book of Mrs. Sleeves. This is her record: "The Waldos were of their party in crossing the plains and the two families were always good friends. Daniel Waldo was th Justice of the peace and a man given to much strong talk, interspersed with profanity. On day, when Mrs. Looney was at the Waldo home ind busy in the kitchen with Mrs. Waldo, a couple rode op oa horseback and asked Mr. Waldo to tie th marriage knot.' He ushered them into his living room and began the ceremony. He tried to think of some fitting re marks to make, but being a plain man he was Just saying 'I pro nounce you man and wife' when th door opened and in cam th 'wlmmen folk' and he ended th 'ritual' by saying, 'By G .' The appearance of the women Just at this time sort of flustered Mr. Waldo and siace he was proficient in profanity that seemed the baa-J diest word t say. The author does not know, hut nopVs the cou ple 'lived happy ever afterward." Mrs. Looney was blemed with great native wit and a remark able memory and at 91, .when her birthday was celebrated, she was declared the youngest one pres ent.

The Child's Right to Heah of Children Art Still Being Exploited and ; Robbed of Their Birth- sight, Says Authority By. R. S. COPELAND, M. D. U. 8. Senator from New York, Former Commissioner of BeaUX, New Tor City. EVERY child has the rigat tt good health, education and happiness. More and mor? we are coming to recognise tbi. In the past twenty -fir yean much has been done to pro mote child welfare and health. This might be called "the children's age." ' Never were so many forces at work Jer the better ment of the child. Unpre cedented ef forts are mad to study his in tricate prob lems, to better COPtXAMD his environ- tnent, to improve his education and hysieAi neatta. Public health officials, together trim various welfare institutions, hay labored for better living con ditions for the child. Public-spirited citizens have given unstintedly of time and money in hi behalf. And yet we have child labor with us. In America today 2,00,000 rtuMren are gainfully employed. Strange to say, there are just that many adults, too, who an out oi employment. In abort, so many children work that adults are or the street The American public must awaken to a realization that thousands, no minuit f littl children, and children of art si tar rail age, are being exploited lot money, and society bow and hereaftei must suffer in coasemssjie. Now, we know all th saedV eal men will tell you that child labor brings with it a vast deal of misery, poor health, and death. la the last analysis it it wneeosvontie. The National Child Labor Com mittee recently made a report of some of the health haaards among children in industry thinn waka ma us pauaaaW think. I quote from this report r j udy-f th caiiatt of death among eMMren, we find thai if we compare the mortality be tween those from 10 to 15 years with those of from lfTto 20 years, there is a sadden jmna of tuberen losis from fourth place te first. This is particutady rue la the case of girls, in which, in th age period of 15 to 20, tuberculosis accounts for nearly one-third ot tha deaths. "But ear figures reveal still more, . In th,e age period between 10 and It rears, oireases mt the heart and tha areulatary system head tha cause f aeAth and even in the next five-year period, from 15 to 20, they rank second only to tuberculosis. These figures reflect the infections in early life, and they indicate the great importance of supervising toe health of chil dren and adolescents leaving acnaol to enter gainful employment," Doctors all agree that aTeaOd needs a certain amount f wt-f-doors recreation and rat avery day.

The meeting opened at 1:30 with a dinner served by the wo men of the Methodist church at the armory with an exceptionally large crowd present. During the dinner hour, musical numbers were furnished by the high school choruses with Miss Fay Sparks at the piano. Immediately following the dinner the business meeting was opened with Norris Ames, presl dent, and George Hubbs, secre tary, in their places. Representa tives of the various country com munity clubs and granges were then introduced, followed by a general introduction. Alt O. Nelson of the Boy Scout movement committee, began the evening's committee reports. Mr. Goett also reported for this com mittee saying there were two troops functioning and that a third would likely be organized before summer. He also report ed that the Silverton Teachers' association had subscribed $30 toward SHverton's quota of $300 for the scout work. The subscrip tion was brought up to $181 at the Wednesday night meeting of the chamber of commerce. Mr. Goetz at the game time re ported that the committee in charge of the investigation was opposed to holding a Chautauqua at Silverton this year. The question of butter sub stitute was first brought into the evening's discussion by A. W. Simmons, reporting for the dairy committee. Mr. Simmons said this committee urged "the cur tailment of butter substitutes," adding that "an actual canvass of our own city showed that a ma jority of Silverton farmers sell their dairy product and buv oleo- margerlne In its place. We must educate the farmer to use his own production." Mr. Ames then called uoon the agricultural club representatives present. Law son Hadley spoke for the Silverton Hills commun ity, and expressed Us desire to see a cooperative creamery organized at Silverton. Oscar Johnson next spoke for the Evans Valley group, expressing appreciation for the spirit of cooperation shown by the local business men. Mr. John son suggested that the merchants should stop selling butter substi tute, or at least stop advertising specials on it. Alvin Krug of Brush Creek, backed up Mr, Johnson's suggestions. Frank Bowers represented the waido HUIs community club and expressed his opinion of butter substitute with the remark that "I wouldn't grease my wagon with it.'' Anton Dahl of Bethany was then called upon, but said ,i . t- - . . . . . mai uo wouia conime ms re marks Mto check and double check" what had already been said. Mr. Dahl did urge the ex pansion of the canning Industry. Mr. Ames at this time appoint ed the following visitation com mittees: Bethany, Dr. A. J. Mc Cannell, M. C. Storruste; Brush Creek, H. B. Latham, T. Lukens; Silverton Hills, Elmer Olsen, E. Banks; Evans Valley, Martin Peel, E. R. Adams; Waldo Hills, James Campbell, E. R. Ekman. Mr. Goets for the publicity committee made a motion that the chamber of commerce ao- point a special committee to issue cards to worthwhile solicitors, and further recommend mer chants not to respond to solicitors without these cards. Oscar Loe reoortlnr on the nnt Industry remarked that thlt was m a very thrifty condition shn.it Silverton, but that there was room for further derlnnmnt along this line because of th ex cellent ,oU and climatic condi tions for nut culture her. C. Storruste of tha small fruit and vegetable committee urged the Increase of strawberry acreage at Silvertdn. and also en couraged that of lganberrie be cause he was of the opinion that the latter gives promise of a very good market. Mr. Storruste recommended a bigger and more up to date cannery to care for the fruit that "passes through Silverton to other markets." Frank Riches of the lireatork committee suggested that much I of the logged off land above fill. verton would be very suitable for beef cattle. He was ot the opin ion that his locality was . very good for the breeding and feed ing of livestock. Mr. Riches called attention to th many fine flocks of beef cattle and sheep in the Silverton farming commun ity, ho also urged that the meat purchasers be educated to know the difference between ha- hy beef and other beef, and that the buying publle ask for baby beef and thus encourage the livestock industry. Following the report of the committees the meeting was thrown open to reaeral Al,,. slon. Th Raw. J. SihM-krfnr who was present, spoke briefly', expressing himself in favor of a cooperative creamery.

Johnson, A. D. Wakeman and Hugh B. McGuIre. Members of the state tax com mission. Governor Xorblad and Attorney General Van Winkle were named as defendants in the action. Plaintiffs allege that the in tangibles tax law is unconstitu tional and void because of being lu conflict with section 82 of Ar ticle I of the constitution of the state of Oregon which requires that all taxation shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects within the territorial limitations of the authority levying the tax. It also was pointed out in the complaint that Section I of Ar ticle IX of the state constitution requires the legislative assembly to provide by law uniform rules of assessment and taxation. "The intangibles tax is imposed upon natural persons and fidu ciarie sonly, with respect to their gross income by way of Interest or dividends, , and not upon cor porations," read the complaint "and therefore whether based upon a classification or persons or of property, the act constitutes an arbitrary and unreasonable classification. The tax, being measured by gross income without regard to whether the taxpayer in fact real ized any net income or even sus tained a loss for the taxable per iod, is not a tax upon income as such but upon gross receipts and for that reason affords no unl form rule of assessment and tax ation even within the class of nat urai persons receiving Income from intangibles. The basis of classification has no relation to the taxpayer's ability to pay and the tax is therefore not uniform upon the same class of subiects "The tax imposed by the act Is not in lieu of the ad valorem tax upon intangible personal proper ty, despite the provision of Chan ter 317, Oregon laws of 1927, and inererore is an unequal and bur densome tax, indeed double taxa tion, with respect to their intan glble property upon persons do miciled In Oregon as distinguish ea from corporations and other taxpayers. "As between natural persons or ruaicianes subject to the intan gibles tax act and corporations sabject to the excise tax law, the tax upon intangibles is measured by the gross Income without off st for. personal taxes -natdTand without deductions for expenses. oiner taxes, losses. Interest or other carrying charget borne by .such natural person or fiduciary, whereas the income from identi cally th same Intangibles, if owned by a corporation, when .used as a basis for imposing an excise tax upon a corporation, is reduced by allowing an offset up io u per centum of the total ex else tax on account of personal property taxes paid to the state, as wen as by deductions for in terest, other taxes, losses and or- atnary and usual business ex penses. "Such intangibles tax law is therefore discriminatory a against natural persons and fidu ciaries. "Haid act is not uniform eith er In terms or in operation upon the same class of subjects within the territorial limitations of th authority levying the tax, in that in the case of individuals domicil ed in the state of Oregon and en gaged in the business of buying, selling and dealing in and with notes, bonds and shares of the capital stock of private corpor ations, they are taxable with re spect to th aggregate gross in come received by way of interest or dividends thereon, while In dividuals engaged in the identi cal business within the state of Oregon, but not domiciled there in, are not subject to the provi sions or said statute nor are they in fact otherwise 'taxed with re spect to such intangible property, even though such Intangible property, even though such in tangible property be used and boosted within the state of Ore gon. Under Section 4 of the bank and corporation franchise tax act of the state of California,' every financial, mercantile, manufac turing ahd business corporation doing business within the state, is required to pay annually to tha state for the privilege of exercis ing Its corporate franchise, a tax according to, or measured by Its net Income, at the rate of four per cent per annum. "By sub-paragraph (c) of Sec tion 8 of the California statute, any corporation subject to th tax Is allowed, in computing Its net income, to deduct taxes or li censes paid or accrued during "the taxable year, other than taxes paid the state ot California under the act and other than taxes on income or profits paid or accrued within the taxable year, imposed by the authority ot any foreign country, any state territory, coun Scherbrlng also asked if the soil around Silverton were not suit able for the production of nlct. ling vegetables. Mr. Ames reported that a soring onenlnsr and dollar Slav were In the of finer at KilvArtmi C Schlador suggested the consid ering of placing new welcome-! signs at the city limits of Silver ton.

"No such credit Is allowed natural persons domiciled In Ore gon with respect to teres or li censes of any sort, paid by such nataral persons with respect to or an account of business done or intangible property owned and kept in another state during the taxable year. "Even as between natural per sons domiciled in Oregon the constitutional requirement of uni formity within the class is violat ed, In that Individuals whose in come from such interest and divi dends amounts annually to more than. $200 are taxed on the bas is of their gross receipts there from, while all other natural persons with respect to their in come from all other sources are to be taxed. !r at all. with respect to their net income onlr as de fined In Chapter 448, Oregon laws of 1929.
