Now the sales tax is under fire and faces defeat in the house of representatives. But how is the national budget to be balanced without increased taxation? t And how may taxes be raised without taking the money from the people or from industry? The rich are getting' soaked ; rather severely through jacking up income, estates and gift I taxes and still the government wiH run short of enough mon ey to pay its bills. Government economy is hopeless in these . days of entrenched bureaucracy. So the only thing left is to ' tax, tax, tax. History shows that when taxes get too heavy the people put on a little revolution and expunge their in debtedness. The U. S. A. has gotten along as far with resort to such procedure. But one of the great problems of the ,time is to balance the national budget. It can't be done with out increased taxation. The house committee bill seemed to us just about a9 good a tax measure as could be worked out in the present state of affairs. For the house to take out the ! manufacturers sales tax without presenting a substitute 'would be to cripple the government and endanger the stabil ity of our own country's credit. 1 Postal laws are strict as can be against newspapers pub lishincr anvthine about lotteries, raffles or games of chance. If a paper prints anything about any such device or scheme it is in danger of being barred from the mails. Sometimes items about raffles creep through in news or advertisements; .but usually it is a mistake, or an error, because publishers know they have to keep in favor with Uncle Sam and his postmasters. It is even against the law to mention the name of a winner after the rafffe is" over with. There have been so manv lottery schemes in late months that, having been ad vised bv the postmaster as to what the postal laws are, The Statesman is complying with the laws and omitting all ref erences to any such schemes no matter how laudable their purpose or how interested the public may be In them.

Sweet are the uses of adversity, as somebody or other, probably Mr. Shakespeare, has said. Per haps you know what he meant by it. I'm not at all sure that I do. I see something that resembles a glimmer pf meaning in the saying now and i then at times when ad versity is at a considerable dis tance, but at other times the glim mer is not apparent.

Under the influence of prevail ing conditions, I have fallen into a way of proving to my own sat isfactiononly my own, drat It! the Justification tor certain small expenditures at which cer tain severely constituted people may look askance. Thus durln? the past week I recklessly paid two-bits to see a gangster movie- talkie at a Salem playhouse. I had not been aware that It was a gang ster picture. I had thought gang ster pictures were played out passe, as the French say and I was quite unsuspecting. I had re solved to see no more gangster pictures. And there I was on the spot, so to speak. Wherefore, you see, for the sake of my own con science if for no other reason, it was necessary for me to figure a profit from the Investment. Not so difficult. Helen Twelvetrees was starred in the picture. I had never seen Helen, and the gratification of my curiosity was worth a dime, even in these times. Also in the picture was our old friend Senor Ricardo Cortex, suavely portraying the most diabolical of gangsters, and I admit it is difficult to believe suffering from indigestion. DweU on that a moment a gang ster belching stomach gas and taklna- bicarbonate of soda as a dramatic gesture. That was worth another dime. Then, too, there was. In the picture a wheel-chair invalid, a sweet old gentleman. who at a crucial moment quit Archie McCoy, 30, whose latest offense was the attempted bur glary of a bank at Troutdale last summer, committed suicide by hanging himself with a sheet in his ceU at the state penitentiary. vA; v D.

NEW YORK Harry Greb. of Pittsburgh last night defeated Tom Gibbons of St. Paul, receiv ing the Judge' decision after their 15-round match in Madison Square garden. t I - Judge Ekwajl of Portland has suspended he sentence of Ben Bolof f, convicted of violating the criminal syndical ism act. Boloff has lain long in jail, is sick with t. b., and the rest of his crowd were all released without trial. So the judge is to be commended for suspending the sentence on condi tion that Boloff keeps out of future affiliation with com munist groups. Thus Oregon is spared some of the publicity such as has attended imprisonment of the Centralia reds, Mooney & Billings, and the execution of Sacoo and VanzettL For this alone Judge Ekwall deserves thanks. Doc Spears, coach at the University of Oregon, has an offer to go back to Wisconsin to coach football there. Our hunch is that he will take the offer. It looks as though ath letics will-be deflated in Oregon schools along with every thing else; and that would mean shrinking the generous sal ary bpears gets. With the general overturn at the university, and prospects of Dr. Hall's leaving, Spears will be wise if he goes back to the real football countrjr. Oregon prefers second-rate coaches at half-price. - . " .'')' -"" . - ., Is there one law for the rich and another for th poor?
