Letters from Statesman Readers TAXES. UNDERSTATED Mar . 1932 To the Editor: Ton undoubtedly believe In "giving the devil his dues," and there Is a "slight" error of 760. 000.00 In the statement made in the amount of taxes paid by oiir company In Oregon in this morn ing's Statesman. The statement Is that we pay $560,000.00, whereas, the cor rect figure Is $1,320,000.00, which is equivalent to the pay ment of $3,620.00 per day every day in the year, and is also equiv alent to 11 of the total amount collected by the company from Its customers. The 1931 taxes for Marion county only of $60,283.10 is equi valent to $165.00 per day for each day in the year. Very few people realize what a large share of the tax burden of the state is carried by public utilities, and that 11c of each $1. 00 which they pay to us for ser vice is returned to them in the form of taxes paid by us.

Of Old Salem Tows Talks from The States man of Earlier Days May 7, 1907 Out in the Open IT is time the whispering campaign of Judge McMahan's against other occupants of public office was brought into the open. For years he has been attacking his colleagues in the court house as "grafters". He brands as illegal pay ments made to the former justice of peace, payments made out of the prohibition fund to the depity district attorney as a portion of his salary, the allowance for stenographer in the office of the district attorney ; also in effect charges the two county commissioners with grafting on the county in the number of days they put in and the car allowance they have charged the county; and charges the sheriff with graft ing in the amounts he has collected for the board of pris oners.

Now he frfeUed ail claim to the state luauiymiiauip wnen iney went aown to defeat before the shatter mg arguments advanced bv the Grants Pass team, hv rnt nt z to 1 finds a growing reversal of sentiment. This is what he writes ! on this topic from Pasadena: "A survey of the newspaper offices shows a complete re versal. in the point of view. Six weeks ago President Hoover was completely sunk. No enthusiasm for him. No hope for him. To day one can't truthfully say there Is any great Hoover enthusi asm. But there is great hope, in fact the strongest sort of con fidence, that Hoover will not only be renominated but re-elected. This Isn't the partisan O. O. P. opinion. It Is the opinion of newspaper editors and political reporters who whatever they may be in print are always non-partisan in private when talking with brothers of the craft. Pasadena of course is a very conser vative and strongly Republican city, but that doesn't alter the fact that two months ago it was a bear on Hoover and today it is unquestionably a bull. I "But to return to Hoover for a moment. Everyone with whom we have talked, not only in newspaper offices but out of them, has an entirely different slant on the situation than was ' true a couple of months ago. Then the idea was the Democrats could win with anyone now the idea is the Democrats can't win unless they nominate someone stronger than the present leading candidates, Smith and Roosevelt." Daily Thought Borah and Silver 'There is a word, of srrif th sounding token; There is a word bejeweled with bright tears: The saddest word fond lips have ever spoken; A little word that breaks the chain of years: Its utterance must ever brlnr emotion, The memories it crystals can iot die.

Fighting Joe Hookeri S m (Continuing from yesterday): "And to the gallant men of the First Oregon cavalry the word of the great president was final. They accepted the task he Bet be fore them to accomplish, and al though to them the pomp and cir cumstance of war were missing, although no patriotic millions stood by to applaud their gallant feats, and the eye of government was not upon them, yet for three long weary years they did their duty faithfully and well, and by that faithfulness preserved their beautiful state for the Union and the wonderful future that has come to it. "Some there were of Oregon blood and Oregon soil, however, who could not remain away from the greater theater of war, where the more dramatic destiny of the nation was being wrought out la havoc of blood and treasure. Col. Joseph Hooker, 'fighting Joe Hooker,' living at Salem when the war broke out, went east, and became a brigadier-general, and Bancroft speaks of others as fol lows: 'Volney Smith, son of Del azon Smith, was for a short time lieutenant In a' New Tork regi ment; James W. Llngenfelter, re siding at Jacksonville, was made captain of a volunteer company, and killed at Fortress Monroe Oc tober 8, 1861; John L. Boon (of Salem), son of the state treas urer, who had been a student at Wesleyan university, Delaware, Ohio, was at the battles of Shiloh and Corinth, in an Ohio regiment, in General Wallace's division; Major Snooks, of the 6Sth Ohio, was formerly an Oregonian of the Immigration of '44; George Wil liams of Salem was second lieu tenant of the Fourth infantry and in the second battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, losing a foot at Get tysburg; Frank W. Thompson of Linn county was colonel of the Third Virginia volunteers In 1S6S Henry Butler of Oakland was a member of the 86th Illinois volanteers; Charles Harker was a lieutenant; Roswell C. Lampson, still living in Portland, was the first naval cadet from Oregon and served with conspicuous gallan try and fidelity throughout the war; Capt. W. L. Dall of the steamship Columbia was appoint ed a lieutenant of the navy; and many army officers, whose north western service is indissolublr connected with its early history, t rose to great eminence during the BORAH thinks that one way to restore prosperity is to bring back silver to its 1925 value. That would help. So would it to restore wheat, rubber, tin, copper, strawberries, cotton, wool, beef to their 1925 levels. But how is it to be done? An "international conference" such as he proposes for silver would be impotent. While it is true that silver is the exchange medium of certain of the oriental countries, international transactions have always been conducted on the gold basis ; and the quoted prices (gold) for rubber, silk, tea, etcwhich these countries export have been determining factors. While there has been great lament over reputed slumps in trade with the orient, we do not believe the statistics justify the conclusion that such slump is largely due to the fall in the price of silver. Our. exports of wheat, flour and cotton to the orient iiave been the largest In years. Our commodity prices have been down, so have their commodity prices, including silver. Sil ver should be regarded as a-commodity. r i Independent Not Guilty fllHE Woodburn Independent states that its article respect- X ing Rufus Holman's charges against Doc Riley of the Hubbard Enterprise was run strictly as a news story and did ! not reflect the opinion of the Independent. Hence The States man was in error in imputing to the Independent responsibil ity for the insinuations against Doc Riley. We accept the explanation of Editor. Alden. It is true that the article was featured as a news story; and we are glad to be assured that the Independent restricts its own comments to its editoriaKcolumns. The "base insinuation" against Riley still stands how- ever, only the responsibility for the slur rests with Holman alone. i , ' The only plausible explanation of the report that Mrs. Edward B. McLean gave Gaston B. Means a hundred thousand dollars for the return of the Lindbergh child is that ."it takes a crook to catch a crook," On that basis Means would surely be the one to pick out, for he is probably the most dishonest performer that was ever turned loose In Washington. . i Two members of the state board of higher education are going 'east to pick out a chancellor.

NE of the most disagreeable disorders of the lining of the mouth is known as "canker sore." None but the afflicted oer- son can really appreciate the misery it causes. Indeed, a can ker sore may become so big and trouble some as to make the sufferer ex ceedingly UL The cause of canker sores it not entirely un derstood. They may occur singly or in crops. They come on sud denly and usually appear as small inflamed spots. The favorite sites are at the base of the teeth, under the tongue or on the inner surface of the lips of cheeks. At the same time the tongue usually la coated and there la bad breath. Some individuals are very suscep tible to this affliction, which oftsn is caused by a sensitivity to a particu lar food or foods. When these foods are omitted from the diet the canker sores disappear. Relief la such cases can only be obtained by determin ing what food Is the offending; one. Thie Is accomplished by keeplnr a list of foods eaten each day, and checking; up on the menu of the day before the appearance of the canker sore. Many authorities believe that canker sores are caused by some in tecuon. For some reason there Is a lowered resistance of the lining; of the mouth to a particular form of inrectjoa. There may be n lack of vitamin C rhlch Is believed to be necessary for healthy rums and mucous mem. branes. Where there Is a deficiency of this vitamin, the gums are spongy and bleed easily. This weaknesi may be overcome by the addition of large quantities of citrus frutt, tomatoes, celery and lettuce to the dally diet. Another vitamin Important la combatting this ailment Is vltamla A. When there Is a deficiency of this Yltamln In the diet the re sistance of the body against Infec tion is lowered. This can be over. come by eating foods rich in vltamla Butter, cream, en volk. cod liver oil. oranges and carrots are a few foods which contain large quan- uues or uus valuable vitamin. , Avoid all irritating foods. Infected and decayed teeth should be re- mored. Cleanse the mouth three times a day with a saturated solu tion of potassium chlorate In equal pans or water, in severe cases the canker sores are relieved when care fully touched with a allver nitrate stick. Build up the general health. All the simple rules of hygiene shoultl be observed. Answers to Health Queries " HELEN O. a What is the cor rect weight fot a girl aged it, I feet 4ft Inches tall? A.

Smith, Casey. Rus sell, Reynolds, and Alvord, all be came generals, as well as Stevens, who had received a military edu cation, but was not in the regular army.' a "It Is not the purpose of this paper to follow the patriotic serv ice of the First Oregon cavalry during the long and wearisome months and years in which they labored in heat and cold, in storm and sunshine, nnder pioneer and frontier leaderships, In chastising the hostile Indians, guarding the Immigrant caravans, or holding in check the forces of disunion and secession. That there was need of them, for all these high ana patriotic auties. mere is no doubt. "As early as shortly after Lin coin's election in 1360, Senator Gwln of California, with the un doubted knowledge and coopera tlon of Joseph Lane of Oregon, formulated a plan for a slave- holding republic on tha Pacific coast, with an aristocracy similar to the old Republic of Venice. vesting all the power In a heredi tary nobility, with an execution elected from themselves. S "Should the southern states succeed In withdrawing from the Union and setting up a southern confederacy without war, then with a continuous line of slave territory from Texas to the Pa cific, the Pacific coast should combine with the south; but If war ensued between the north and south, then the coast should be captured, and the Venetian re public be Inaugurated separately, and slaves imported from the isles of the sea. ". . uar.cron, rne ntstorlan, as- i aerts that but for the strong re straining advice of Jesse Apple- gate and the overwhelming sent! ment against him on his return, there is no doubt but Lane would have embarked in the enterprise, and that the boxes of arms and ammunition which accomplished his return were intended for that purpose. "In 18S2 it became known ALL THROUGH THE PACIFIC COAST that an oath bound secret organization of confederate sym pathizers were holding ALMOST NIGHTLY MEETINGS at many places; and self-appointed Union detectives, from joints of vant age, could hear THE TREAD OF MARTIAL FEET and the hoarse notes of command. u : ". "High authority has asserted that Gwln of California, Lane of Oregon, and a man named Tilden of Washington, were the instigat ors and advisors of this SECOND MOVEMENT to steal the Pacific coast from the federal union and hold it for the forces of disunion and secession. They chose for a title the quaint and striking name of Kniguts of the Golden Circle. "One of the best posted histor ical authorities on the Pacific coast told me a few days ago that he had in his possession cipher documents of that strange disloy al order, which some day experts should decipher and give to the world, but as yet it was too early lor History to record anything but the things that were notorious. " "The same authority told me of how one night in San Francisco 800 Knights of the Golden Circle, armed to the teeth, had met to make the initial outbreak, cap ture the Bencia arsenal and arm all rebel sympathizers of San Francisco therefrom and carry out the long cherished plan of seising the Pacific coast for dis union. At the last moment, re alising the awful, momentous re sponsibility of their projected at tack they clamored for a leader whom they could follow as one man. In a moment one name was on every lip, an old hero of the Vigilante days In haste he was sent for (he was not a member of their order) and their plan re vealed to one whom they thought 8TM0PS13 lily Lev Lansing, yeaag aad pretty telephone operator, gives op her epportulty far an eperatW sv recr to starry wealthy Ken Sargent.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR She sank into her place, turned heT face to the darkening window. Slowly she looked down at her dress. It was her black crepe de chine, with the cape. The one she got last spring . . . when she first met Ken. . . . Would everything, forever, remind her of him? "IU get rid of the clothes I have. IU buy new ones in New York," she thought, recklessly, and for a mo ment she felt comforted. But alas, she couldn't get rid of herself her body that he had loved, her mind that was full of memories, her heart that was full of pain . . She pressed her cold hands to her smartinr eves ... Mustn't think . . . Mustn't give way People would notice. . . . Furtively she looked around. Drew a long breath. Nobody seem ed to be watching. Once more she turned her pallid face towards the blank darkness of the window, Well . . . she was on her way to New York. She'd wanted to go to New York . . . once . . . She smiled bitterly to herself, and the corners of her mouth felt stiff and cracked . . . nnused to smiles already . . . Who was it said that you get everything you want, after you've stopped wanting it? Well, want it or not, she was on her way. No turning baek now. She sat, staring at nothing, until the porter was ready to make her berth. Then she climbed in, fully dressed, and lay there, staring at the shiny wooden ceiling above her, wide, sleepless eyes. At the other end of the ear a child cried, sleepily. It made her think of Bess' little boy. She'd have to write to Bess, and to her mother, and May . . . Painfully she sat up, began to rummage in her suitcase for writ ing materials. "When Kentfield Sargent and I were married, he was not 21. His father and mother have had the marriage annulled. So, for the pres ent at least, we are separated. It will help us both if you never re- f fer to this episode in my life, in any way. "Ken will return to his people. I am going on to New York to study. I will write often. Please don't worry. I know exactly how yon will feel, so you need not tell me. I am all right. I'm having my big chance, so please, please dont make it harder for me!" That last sounded hysterical, but she couldn't help it. She signed and sealed the letter. Began one to her mother . . . The black writing looked ominous on the white page . . . She wasn't starting it right. It must seem to be her wish, her own desire. If Dad thought that Ken and his "I'm Mrs. Sargent," she said. "It's far mai lt so sallow . . . like old ivory. An. had just turned her out, with 500 and a railway ticket, like a cheap adventuress. . . . She thought of the shotgun . . . Dad was always threatening to take a shot at someone. He wouldn't, of course, but suppose he did . that would be just too much . . . a shooting scrape, and Ken's people keeping it out of the papers, while somebody, a sheriff or somebody, led Dad away . . . She tore op the letter. Perhaps in the morning . . . With the writing materials pot away, and the suitcase pushed to one side of the berth again she resumed her senseless staring at the brightly varnished ceiling above her head. She pictured May getting the letter, and Raymond puffing on his pipe as she read it to him ... and his father's head-shakings, and Irene's catty. "Humph I knew it wouldn't last" And the long dis tance gossip of May and Bess . Bess's fat letters, rather mussy from sticky: baby fingers, and If ay's typewritten in the office ... She pictured Ken's mother, and her satisfied smile, and Ken's father, trying to act as if nothing had happened, and Ken. ... But she wouldn't let herself think of Ken. . . . When she couldnt keep her mind off it any longer aha turned over and bit into the pillow, forcing it into her mouth, trying to control her grief. Hour after hour ahe lay there her face buried in the pillow, crying inside, crying in her heart, crying, aloud sometimes . . , little half stifled, animal cries. ... They didn't have the right to do it. . . . Even if it was for Ken's good they shouldn't have done it, after he had promised, and had "forever and ever" engraved in the nng. ... e Lily Lou was ill when the train pulled in at Chicago, "Traveling does one up, doesnt it?" the voluable lady in the dress ing room said. "Does it?! lily Lou had not no ticed. She rlanced at her own fiM father in the mirror, was surprised to see I her eyes were sunken, and her hair was oily and dark and stuck close to her head. She looked down at her hands. Thin hands. Eingless. "Ham too been ill? Soma of the ladies and I were saying yon must have been just oat of a hospital," the woman persisted. "Yon know I said to Mrs. Havens that's the lady with the red hair, the one that's going to Boston I said, That young lady looks just the way I did when I had my operation for gall stones. The doctor said to my husband, "Mr. Fink," he said, "Your wife will have to be operated on tonight." Lily Loa murmured something. got sway. Back in her section she gathered her things, tried to wait patiently while bags were being pued in the entry, passengers brushed. As she made her way to the door at last, and stepped off on the por ter's painted box she noticed a Western Union boy in conversation with the conductor. He had a yel low envelope in his hand. "Mr. Sar gent?" ha was asking. "Car tt, lower 4?" V Lily Loo's stomach seemed to torn over. A wave of nausea al most blinded her. Bat she gritted her teeth, stretched n determined hand. "I'm Mrs. Sargent," she said, "Ifs me!" The conductor's red hand dosed over the yellow envelope again. "Bat it's Mr. Sargent the gentle man in lower f oarl Ah ... hers he is now. A telegram for you, sir." A tall anaemic looking man in a light suit pressed forward, shot a suspicious glance at Lily Loo. She turned away lifelessly. It didnt matter, of coarse. She hadnt really expected Ken would wire. Bat in th bos, driving to the other station, she realized suddenly how very mod alone aha was. Shi hadnt really expected Ken to wire, bat hope had flared for n moment, and now it was gone. She sag apathetically in her corner, waiting doggedly for the ride to be over.

Taking this as a practical assent, and that he went only to arrange his private affairs, the balance of the night wore on; but the old Vigilante was not Idle; calling together as many of the old Vigilante com mittee as were available and of known loyalty, he unfolded the treason that was lurking in the city's midst, and as they were swift to act in the days of '49, so were they now; the loyalty of the commandant of the Benecia ar senal being questioned, he was re placed by one of true and tried steel, and loyalists were armed and ready in more than one se cret place In the city's midst if needed, and then at 9 o'clock as agreed the answer went to the waiting Knights of the Golden Circle that the old Vigilante could not be their leader."
