The Bonus and Tax Rebates SAYS the Astorian-Budget, in its comment on President Hoover's objection to immediate payment of the vet erans' bonus: "The president's case would be much better were it not for the action of the administration a few years back In rebating " big corporations and wealthy Individuals who paid large income taxes in the days of their affluence and prosperity. The amount of these refunds would have been sufficient to have paid this bonus demand, and, thus have liquidated a large debt owing to the ex-service men. The fact that the millions of dollars were . , given back, to these Income tax payers Instead of the surplus being applied to paying these claims: or reducing otherwise the national debt leaves the president and his administration a fair target for criticism." The usually well-informed and logical editor of the As torian Budget has gotten far out ion the limb in that para graph. In the first place the grand total of all refunds to taxpayers, high, low and middle, hundreds of thousands of them, amounted to only one and a j quarter billions up to one year ago. The requirements of the Ibonus however are rough ly two and a half billion dollars. jSo the Astorian-Budget is only 50 correct on his figuring. ; The A-B is loose in its use of language too when it says "Millions of dollars were given back". Not a dime was "given". The refunds were for excess payments into the fed eral treasury. Some of the settlements were compromise set tlements in which the government experts insist that the government got the best end of the deal, that if the cases had gone into court or if pending ca$es had been finally tried much larger sums would have gone to the taxpaying corpora tions under court orders. A refund of an excess payment is not a gift ; but a return of money improperly taken. The A-B and other democratic and anti-administration papers and speakers also cleverly ignore this fact, tLat while during all the administration of the income and war prof its taxes some ONE AND A QUARTER billions of dollars were refunded because of excess levies, FIVE AND A QUARTER billions were COLLECTED by imposing addi tional assessments on corporations and individuals who fail ed to compute their taxes correctly, failed to report all in come, or tried to beat the government out of its fair tax. So the net gain to the treasury1" between the additional as sessments and the refunds is FOUR BILLION dollars. A lot of publicity has been given to the refunds, but rarely a line to the additional assessments. Most every individual taxpayer as well as corporation either has gotten a bill for more taxes or has gotten a re fund, after the government agents have rechecked returns Just the other day we had a nice letter from the internal revenue agent saying we had overpaid our tax 49c, but that since the government ignored all sums of 50c and under the sum would not be repaid. And a few weeks earlier our cor poration got a letter which, made us dance to a different tune, because the government refused to allow depreciation on the basis set up by our accountant; so we were required to pay an additional amount in taxes for prior years. We ' ' have no quarrel in either case ; and believe that the govern ment internal revenue department has been operated hon- estlv and competently: and that in just the same manner whether the administration is re publican or democratic. The United States government doesn t have to be a thief and retain in its coffers taxes which are not justly due it under the laws. Renascent mWO announcements out of X man revival is taking. The junker-militarist ministry prodded sharply by the violent Hitler nationalists seeks to restore the Germany of before the war. This renaissance of Germany is not the Germany of industry whose inventive genius and manufacturing skill made Germany of the first decade and a half of this century a great workshop for the world. It is not a rebirth of the German culture : universities, t orchestras and operas, art and criticism. It is rather a re vival of militarism. The two announcements were that Ger many would withdraw from the Geneva conference on dis armament, demanding the right of equality in armaments; and that building of a third pocket battleship, a formidable fighting unit, would be started Germany is justified in her actions because of the ' breach of faith of the other nations. The treaty of Versailles stripped her of army and navy. Only a small standing army was allowed ; ordinance was restricted; munitions works dis mantled. But a condition of this treaty which thus disarmed Germany obligated the allied as this extract from the treaty attests: "The Allied and Associated Powers wish to make it clear that their requirements in regard to German armaments were not made solely with the object of rendering it impossible for Germany to resume her policy of military aggression. They are also the first steps toward that general reduction and limita tion of armaments which they seek to bring about as one of the most fruitful preventives of war, and which it will be one of the first duties of the League of Nations to promote." The "first duty" of the limit armaments as a step toward the prevention of war has been signally ignored. All Europe stays armed to the teeth, The nations are spending vastly more on military establish , ments than in pre-war years. They have greater armies, more trained reserves, far larger stores of guns and equipmen t and war machinery. Repeated conferences for carrying ou this provision of the treaty with the single exception of the) Washington conference of ,1921. David Lloyd George, one of the "bier four" who drafted the peace treaty, now writes : I tne ferman view tnat tne victorious nations have shamefully broken faith on the-question of! armaments." The world presents, nearly 14 years after the armistice, a sorrowful picture to those who were fired by the appeals for.the "war to end war" and the war "to make the world r safe for democracy." Fascism and dictatorship have the grip on things; and now militarism j unabashed seems to have routed those impulses for peace which gave birth to the Kei logg peace pact. Discouraging though the prospect is, the efforts to counteract prejudice and hate and fear must not be relaxed: because the hope tion lies in rooting out recurring devastations of modern iiwarf ar ' " ; " No Feet Shall Aice' it will continue to function Germany Germany point the way Ger at once. powers to disarm themselves league of nations, to reduce and have ended in virtual stalemate. haf e no hesitation in accepting of preserving western civiliza I iti t. vmi pto. lya mtrti " - f Yesterdays . . .

COPELAND, M. D. IVT ANT minor ailments can be traced to a lack of sleep. Yet the average person does not give much thought to the subject of sleep. Though he knows ne xeeis better after a good night's rest, he may neglect this simple measure of health. The temptation t o stay up late makes him for get his resolu tion to go to bed early. A well nour ished and heal thy individual requires six to -.-v.. sleep. A man CpeUmd may live for days without water, and. a much longer time without food, but if he is deprived of sleep he usually goes out of his mind af ter the fifth or sixth day. Sleep is essential to the proper growth and recuperation of the body. Fatigue breaks down the tis sues and during sleep the body at tempts to restore the cells and the energy that have been lost in the waking hours. Cease f Inaomnia There are many who realize the importance of sleep but find it dif ficult to sleep. Insomnia, wakeful. ness, is a dreaded and often difficult trouble to overcome. Fear, worry. meniai ana severe emotional strain, are usually the underlying causes of thousands of cases of insomnia. Sound sleep is restful sleep. It is usually a habit acquired in early life.

DALLAS Dallas this year faces a great need of houses to rent such as it has never before faced. Not a vacant house can be found and from three to 10 Inquiries are made daily at the real estate offices by people seek ing to locate here. Exhaustive data covering the expenses of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company la asked by the public service commission in a questionnaire sent the com pany yesterday. Items to be In vestigated include supervision of maintenance, commercial admin istration and payrolls. Like the infant, the health of the adult suffers if he does not have sufficient sleep. It may be necessary to train the adulfta this important habit. Let me warn you against the use of patent medicines and drugs tak en to secure sleep. If you have been naving difficulty in falling asleep and have not recently consulted your physician, do so now. There may be some constitutional defect that is causing this disturbance. In certain cases medicines are bene ficial, but they should be given only on the advice of a physician. Physical Activity Aids If any a person cannot understand why he does not sleep welL Fre quently he is leading sedentary life, though mentally active. Great mental or emotional strain will drive away sleep. For such persona I would advise more physical ac tivity. A brisk walk before bed time stirs up the sluggish circula tion and induces sound sleep. A warm bath taken before bedtime may be helpful. I am often asked as to whether it is harmful to sleep on the left side. Many believe it is dangerous to sleep that way because the heart is on that side and its action may be interfered with. This is an an cient theory that has never been accepted by science. Recent experi ments tend to show that the position the body assumes prior to sleep is maintained only for a short time. During the night, regardless of how soundly you sleep, the body assume various positions. Do not be misled by the various stories of great men who have matt ered to survive on four or five hoars of sleep. The necessary number of hours of sleep are determined by the age, sex, occupation and health of the individual. Though bo definite rule can be made, it is safe to say that six to eight hour of sleep are necessary for the a vera- ainlt I Personally I must have eight hoars viuci v uw X vest ww nu Health Qncriea R.C.F.

Owntttt. lilt. veals some most interesting facts. Brief la time aa well as In the words of Its telling. The loganberry industry Itself was not started in a commercial way until in the late nineties. This king of the bush traits was bora shortly before by the accidental crossing of the Texas blackberry with the common red raspberry, la the gardea of Judge Logaa la his California back yard produc ing a sport that, strangely, has never reverted to its parent stocks. JDr. J. A. Richardson, old-time mayor and physician of Salem, vis iting in California, brought home some slips, and set them in his kitchen garden, northeast corner Church and Chemeketa streets, the present home of the Kappa Gamma Rho fraternity. That was the birthplace of the Industry on a commercial scale. Dr. Richard son induced his friend. State Sena toh A. M. LaFollet, to try out lo ganberry growing on his farm. It miles below Salem, on part of the site of the Jason Lee mission, first Protestant mission in America west of the Rockies. Thus was be gun the soon flourishing logan berry industry. The strangely per fectly blended sport fruit had not up to that time secured a foothold in the state of its birth, outside of the plot in which its common law marriage of natural selection was begun la its Garden of Eden in the back yard of Judge Logan. S 'm There was of course some early family crushing of loganberries by housewives for the juice, ss was natural according to custom reach ing back to the beginnings of the race, through all the fruit famil ies, domestic and wild from cur raats and cherries to elderberries, blueberries, crabapples and the like. V But there was no crushing of loganbrrles for the juice on a commercial scale until 1914. That year, H. S. Glle and W. T. Jenks pressed enough of the juice to fur nish samples to the largest job bers In the United States. This was done in their establishment that was then la the building at High and Trade streets, Salem, now oc cupied by the Paulas cannery, and opposite the "present location la their own building of their dried fruit and other operations, and headquarters tor their extensive business as growers and shippers of prunes, under the firm name of H. S. GUe ft Co. W Gile and Jenks, operating under the name of the Oregon Fruit Jutce company, the next year, 1915, enlarged their output of loganberry juice, having adopted the Pheasant brand, under which it was marketed throughout the country. That year they put up a ready-to-drlnk product in bottles, the label carrying a picture of the DeC7 pheasant, with the namt shortened to "Phes," stating that It was pure juice with the addi tion of only, sugar and water, and that It was a non-alcoholic drink. They carried on a modest national Daily Thought Temperance is control ot all th functions of our bodies.

Warren turned off the road as he reached the Bay aide 'and head ed for a damp of treea. Here he stepped, and leisurely stepped out of the car. He looked around La all directions to see that they had no audience. Then with the tranquil lity of a man about to take a dip in the surf he said: "All right. Laurence. Here a where yon have a chance to fulfill your brag." As he began removing his coat, he added: "If you are man enough.' Jack was out ox the car la a Hath. He, too, glanced hurriedly around; but he would not have seen had there been anybody in sight. He was all at once wholly animal, out for the kilL All his early resolutions of care for Patricia's reputation were lost in the prospect of avenging her sufferings and his own. He tore off his coat, tie and shirt. Warren in the meantime had done likewise. They stood one on either aide of the car, Jawi set, eye to eye ia a pause of deadly hate. Simultaneously they started around the back of the ear. There was no pause now. Jack swung mighty right in the direction of his foe as they cam together at the rear of the car: but Warren had expected this, and ducked, counter inr with a stiff left, flush to the side of Jack's head. Jack tore, in more furiously. His arms were whipping out like trip hammers pounding on Warren'; body. Warren kept driving in his left, and backing off slowly so that. now, they were clear of the car. Jack decided to make abort work of his opponent and with an oath. the first sound he had ottered since they had met at the station, he crossed with his right, catching Warren a stinging blow oa the jaw. Warren blinked and shook his head, but this time did not retreat The cool shrewd lawyer was anni hilated by that blow. The killer in stinct, latent in dvilixed man. had been aroused. He took a step for ward. They crashed together with a thud. They milled around for moment, both men pounding short range. at Jack stepped on Warren's foot and with more of a push thaa blow, sent him sprawling. Jack did aot hesitate. He was on top of his man In a moment. They rolled and pitched on the ground. First one and then the other in the position Of advantage. They were no longer men; but tigers in battle to the death. Small sticks tore into their flesh. Their bodies were a mass scratches and cuts. Jack turned suddenly, at the tamo time driving la a blew Warren's midsection. War re a hold released. Stung by the power ox the Wow just received. Warren was far from bein ia a bad way. He sprang to hi, feet with Jack tight behind him. There was a slight pause as both men straightened op; but Jack was all for taking advantage of the mighty blow he had just ri Warren. He would not giro him cnanoe to recover. He tor la with a new gust of fury. Warren jabbed wua nis lexvand, as Jack, ia wild effort to finish his man. led with his right. Warren hooked his owa right with a torrifl thad ea Jack's chin.

S S V Soon there entered the picture the former owners ot tbevOlympia, Wash., brewery, occupying the building that had been used by the Sslem brewerey, northeast corner of Commercial and Trade streets, Salem, with a loganberry product called Loju. There was a consoli dation of th two concerns. This gave th new concern the Pheas ant brand, a syrup loganberry juice, Loju, a ready to drink prod uct end Apple u, which had been developed by th sewer concern.

Not by a darn sight. He lunged, pulling Warren to the ground with him. His head had cleared. He was now a fighting maniac. Warren tried to free himself. His advantage, he knew, was on his ieet Jack was strong as an ox when it came to wrestling. He was disappointed that he had not been able to finish Jack off before he had a chance to recover. He felt tired. They had been fighting for hours, surely I This waa quite different from the gym work. But Jack was not in such good eon dittos -himself. Warren thought He snapped out of these thoughts as Jack began putting pressure on a dead lock. He drove his fist hard into Jack's short ribs and the hold was released, but in the same in stant Jack crashed hit fist into Warren's cheek, sending him flat oa his back. The blow had landed just below the eye, and blood trick led down Warren s face. There bo thought now of the girl who had. sent them her. No thought of consequence. Each was fighting for his life, and fists flew ia all directiona as one again they tossed and rolled about Jack's strength was beginning to teU. His blows were harder. He had all but closed Warren's right eye. Their faces were covered with dirt and blood. Warren tried desperately to break loose. He must get to his feet He was using up his strength tugging and wrestling, and his blows were beginning to loe their sting. Jack had him gripped ia mighty body scissor. Warren felt that his rib must surely crack. With a superhuman effort be swung around with his crooked arm. The point of the elbow caught Jack on the cheek, cutting a deep gash. It had worked. Jack released his legs, and Warren sprang to his feet like a wild eat . . . Jack wiped the blood from hi cheek and got to his feet He was more calm now. He could see that he was wearing his man down. And unlike his early tactics, be took his tun. Warren began -iV-iwr use of his left again. But the blows did not land with the eame precision. Jack had changed his method of fare. He worked entirely oa War ren's body. Right and left his fists shot in and out in quick succes sion, landing with sharp cracks on the abort rib. Warren's body was scarlet, taking ea the appearance oz prickly beat Jack saw his foe flinch aa each Mow landed, and knew it waa but a matter of time. He watched for aa opening. It earn. ... Warren struck out madly and missed. . . . Evea before the blow landed Jack knew this was the one!
