PAGE TWO The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Saturday Morning, Jam 14, 1930 CONES BEFORE i!S E Passes Senate by Two Votes Margin as Predicted; Debate Lengthy (Continued from page 1.) Industrialists are obvious aim portend only unemployment or cheapened labor in this country." Watson- conceded business ws depressed but predicted the na tion would be on the "upgrade fi nancially" within thirty days from enactment of the bill and in a year's time "we shall regain the peak of prosperity and position we lost In October." : Senator Robinson said the mea sure was "a disappointment to its supporters" and "instead of pro moting the prosperity of agricul ture it perpetuates and intensifies the inequalities and discrimina tions between agriculture and oth er industries." Hawley Greeted With Big Applause . Borah contended whatever be nifit the farmers would receive under the bill would be more than offset by raises in industrial rates. -Chairman Hawley of the ways and means committee was greeted with prolonged applause when he told the house of the senate ac tion and said he would call up the measure Saturday. Senators Smoot, republican, Utah and Simmons, North Caro lina, chairman and ranking demo crat on the senate finance commit tee, were landed for their untir ing efforts in connection with the long and weary fight.

TIME n FOB COBCIAL The commercial department at the senior high school has been materially handicapped this year through lack of time. Merritt Da vis, head of the department, says in his 'annual report to the city superintendent. Because of thi3, it has not been possible to reach the same high standards of the past, the report says. Part of the report follows and is sell-explanatory: "The subjects thus affected by the new schedule are bookkeeping and accounting, shorthand, type writing and office training. "The department was unable to send out students for apprentice work in the business offices as has been done in the past. This has somewhat affected the placement work as the students did not have an opportunity to try out for posi tions. "The subjects of commercial arithmetic, commercial geography, law. penmanship and spelling and business English have been bene fited by the new schedule. "The work of the department ta bow being arranged to fit the new schedule which will place the commercial work on the academic basis." Reports from each instructor la the department were attacked to Davis' annual accounting. 1 TRUCK H6 CHANGE IS SOUGHT Ruling by the government which would permit the transpor tation of road oil in tank tracks on ferries carrying passengers be tween Astoria and Ilwaco, Wash., t was urged by J. M. Devers, at- j torney for the Oregon state hlgh i way department, in a telegram sent to Senator McNary, Friday. Devers pointed out in his tele gram that a ruling of the federal steam boat inspectors prevent fer ry owners from carrying road oil and passengers on the same boat and requires that oil tanks shall be carried on special trips with no passengers on board. 'This ruling interferes with road construction," read Dever's telegram, "and is not necessary for the aafety of the public. Oil in tanks is transported under no pres sure and at atmospheric tempera ture which prevents it being ignit ed by flame." Devers informed Senator Mc Nary that Senator Jones of Wash ington has complete data since the controversy was occasioned by a highway contract in Washington.

Banks indicated the principal purpose of his visit would be to Impress upon state officials tha necessity for equity on tha part of inspectors in their work with all classes of producers. Mr. Banks has said repeatedly through his paper that compul sory cooperation among farmers is unconstitutional and that unler- handed means being used, by men "behind the government" to pen alise independent growers wno dare to oppose the high-handed methods of enforced cooperation.

Friday 13th Bugaboo Is Still Alive By OLIYB DOAK Friday, the 13th, has come and gone. If you see a black cat to day you will not feel such an urgent need to turn- back and go round- the block In the opposite direction. A walk under a lad der will not be halt so appalling. and it you see a pin you may pick it up without feat that some ca tastrophe will happen to you while you have your head down. These terrible black letter days! The age of superstition hag passed, so they say, but still lingers that lurking heritage, a fear of. the unknown. We no longer burn witches at the stake for being the provocative force in disasters, but we still speak of Friday the 13th, in recognition of its bad omen we still bear ot people who believe in ghosts; we still pay money to have our for tunes told; we still tell children that It Is bad luck to climb out of windows, the latter is a practical warning at least; and we still carry a crooked stick to deter mine where a well may be suc cessfully sunk. Ton may not hare any of these particular omens for your person al tokens of superstition, but It is safe to wager! that there is something you consider to be a -lucky" thing for you. What more is that than superstition, the force which is so truly the direct progeny of Ignorance? Not the ignorance which Comes from not being educated or intelligent, but the ignorance which comes from living in forces of science which we do not yet understand Something makes something happen; we do not know the rea son; we try to find the reason, it baffles and the .result is a certain awe of the unknown which is the parent ot superstition. We no longer burn witches, no, and we no longer tear sitting in the ISth chair on Friday the 12th day of the month, but we still do mention these things, we still do repeat the old formulae and to a certain extent it Is true that "the actions of the past we hare bur ied, but they rule us from their grave.

There is in the Marion county farm census records going to Washington the testimony of a man S3 years oX age who, in 1929. grew, on two and a half acres of land a crop that had a sale price of $1050. It was tobacco. It-is safe to assume that,,, by the time the tobacco reached the consumer, in the shape of cigars, it had a. selling value of several times that.Eum. Regular readers of The States man will remember articles writ ten .three and four years ago, showing that the Willamette val ley produces n excellent Quality of tobacco, to be used in the mak ing of fine "cigars. This fact has been capable of demonstration for a number of years. It is a wonder that this matter has not had great er exploitation. Any community of farmers in the Willamette valley, having suitable soil, of which there are many thousands of acres could grow a few acres of tobacco on each farm, pool their interests in curing the product and making the cigars, and marketing them, and thus have a business of their own that would pay a larger and more certain net profit than is made by the orange growers of California, with land worth $2000 to f 6000 an acre. BANK DECISION FJOT TO 1FFECT OBO 39 The recent decision of the ... preme court of the state of ,i .,. ington holding invalid the !, tax of that state, will in no w iV affect tho tax laws now in c;. in Oregon, according to annouu ment made by the state tax o:.. mission here Friday. The Ore gon excise tax. affecting hanki and their financial corporation.. is protected by a constitution.!' provision enacted by the people in 1917. "The state of Washington." of ficials said, "has a constitutional requirement that all property ynttst be taxed at uniform rates. and does not auow ror tne classi fication of property. No such tax as an Income tax or Oregon's in tangibles and excise taxes can be imposed under it. Officials said the Oregon amendment of 19 IT provided for the classification of property, so that different classes can be taxed at different rates. If banks were taxed in Washington they would have to be taxed at the same rates as all other property is taxed, but the courts previously held against that. An amendment correcting th Washington tax situation will be on the ballot this fall. The amendment was submitted to the peopla In Oregon four times be fore It was adopted.
