Born Soapboxer JUDGE "McMAHAN has a perverted sense of humor if he extracts mirth from the decision of Judge Walker which knocked into & cocked hat the allegations of wrongful use of public funds which McMahan had peddled over the coun ty as part of his political vendetta against District Attorney ' Carson. The decision of Judge Walker will surprise no one; fnd McMahan probably least of all. Although we would not accuse Mac of knowing any law, he surely had sense enough to know that his allegations would "not stand up in court. ' McMahan sets a poor example for the public to enter tain respect for the courts. When Judge Skipworth declared his pet grand jury was dead as a door nail, McMahan railed around about the decision. Now when another of his col leagues on the circuit bench of 'the state returns a decision going against one of his pet peeves McMahan vents another blast in an effort to bolster up his political fortunes. . ; ' .If McMahan still thinks the law has been violated he can lay the matter before his grand jury and encourage that lxdy to bring in indictments for wrongful appropriation of public funds. He will not do that, but. he will continue to spew about insmuaiions reflecting on the integrity of men of strict rectitude. The condition of affairs in the administration of his own department are deplorable. Slipshod opinions,, delays in handling of work, lack of confidence on the part of attorneys and litigants make department no. 1 the joke of the state, a joke however in which there is nothing funny because of the serious matters involved. - ; Take the Rhea Luper case in which an indictment was returned months ago. Why doesn't McMahan bring the case up for the accused to plead? He has been playing horse in the matter for months ; until eventually it will be forgotten and dismissed. McMahan is the perfect example of the born soapboxer who will never get off the box. Confusing THE Oregonian, in its fight against the new schedule of state income tax whictf will be voted on next month, urges defeat of the measure and the forcing of economy on the state government.

The proposed income tax spending of money, but with the raisingof money which has been appropriated by law. The drive for economy must come in the legislature and with the . ciala determining the amount this measure passes or not there will be need for pressure on the .next legislature to reduce appropriations. And wheth er this measure passes or not the state may not legally raise an amount in excess of six per The Oregonian makes note person with a salary of $100 tax to the federal government ment, a total of $12. Again the its readers. For a person with titled to deduct interest, property taxes, charities and beni evolences which may bring the . $1000 exemption (or the state emption). But suppose such a person, without dependents, does pay $12 to the state and federal government. Wherein lies the of fense? Is that a very heavy burden to lay upon his income 7 A j dollar a month, which if it does not go for the tax, may find wings as easily and perhaps with must less return. Again it should be remembered that the effect of a salary increase v come. So if $1500 was a fair . days $1000 is not far wrong at present. The Oregonian concludes: - "We can defeat this proposed increase- in state income taxes ' ' and compel the legislator to reduce appropriations and compel - efflcUls to practice greater econoniy'V--' - As we have remarked above defeating 'this new .tax schedule forces no state ecohorny rrhaoeverTWe go farther , and wonder just how far the Oregonian will "compel" the : legislature and the. officials to cut their costs.

It maintains a costly ra dio station. Its features are press services, when in past probably got along with one or two. We know nothing of the Oregonian's income sheet, but we venture it does not begin to show the profits that its figures of income were the Why then doesn't the Oregonian cut its costs to corres pond with its reduced income? Undoubtedly because it thinks the condition is only temporary and that its revenues will . come back" in time.

In addition it is doubtful if the people are willing to do away with some services of government any more than the Oregonian with Its radio station and extra wire services. There will still be the nopa that better times are ahead. When it comes to expenditures The Statesman is quite as conservative as the Oregonian and is ready to fight the battle for intelligent economy islature and the national congress But we do repeat that the Oregonian draws a herring across the trail and confuses the the Issue The new rates, which do repre shift the source-for state rev incomes.

Bat It is no laughing matter. It is in tensely serious.' In some particu lars, it is more serious than Mr. Kelly told. And it concerns particularly the people of Oregon, Washington and California, for in these states are commercially grown practically all the sweet cherries of the United States, used for canning, market ing in the fresh state through shipments in iced cars, and la the maraschino trade the last named supply being furnished In barrels, sulphured or in brine, for the sap ply of the manufacturers, mostly located along the Atlantis sea board. us Cherrlee In their natural state, under the Hawley-Smoot tariff law, carry a duty et S cents a pound.

October IS. ltSs. To The Editor: In your editor ial eolamns. Issue of October 13 th, yon published a short letter of in quiry from the State Orange Bul letin ta which they asked what had become of the farmers strike and why there had been no news et the same. In commenting on the Inquiry yon stated that the newspapers have not been guilty of suppressing tacts, and general news concerning the farmers strike. This may be true, but we are Inclined to believe the news papers HAVE withheld facts that should have been published. In this editorial you admit that the newspapers have "played down some of the distress news, such as bank failures", and yon should have added farm foreclos ures, forced sales of chattels and bankruptcy, caused by the ruinous prices) we, the farmers, have had to accept for every commodity we are proancing. Ton also admit that yon havo played up some ot the brighter business news In hopes ot restor ing confidence la the business alt nation. Just as every newspaper la the country did in the month ot July when hogs In about one week advanced from 11.50 to $1.00 pr hundred at the time of year when receipts are always the lightest.. ' The leading newspapers played this strong, calling the country's attention to the millions of dol lars made by the farmers in the advance t hogs. But there was positively no mention In anything I read, ef the many more millions the. packers made oat ot the ad vance on eared meats In storage, wmleh at that time amounted to ITS.otejBOO pounds. In three days cored meats advanced an average of 2 He per pound AND THE PRICE STILL HOLDS. Just aa aooa as the advanced price on cured meats was established hogs hit the toboggan and have been declining oner since. The Salem price this morning la $. to 11.15, the lowest In the 4S years that I have been raising hogs. The last buneh wo delivered was on Aacvst 11th, at $4. 0, which was only f Lit below 'the cost ot pro ductioav However, as the news papers were constantly "playing an on - tho nrlxhtar faulaea news, wo were led to believe that tho worst was over, aad that it would bo safe to feed more hogs, 'so on September- 11th we com menced feeding another bunch which now shows as a loss of I LIS per honored at today prlcecA ' Tho newspaper editors may feel that they are Justified In playing up the bright -spots, and perhaps havo no intention ot - deceiving anyone, but the result of OVER PLAYING!

He felt a sodden change within himself, a shifting of gears from noisy, disturbed second to a smooth, purring high. Rosalie was growing Into a sleek creature. Without questioning why, Ted had been conscious that she always looked smart; tonight he was aware that she was a stand out in tne crowd and he was a little proud. Regardless of his other deficiencies regarding them, Ted had a fine sense of discrimina tion among women. Her gown; a greenish, steely silk, had a slanting design which curved with the slant ia her eyes and brought out ia them a green which he had never noticed among the bloc; hair fashioned smoothly as gold strands close to her head. Ted leaned towards her, and said sincerely: Kosaiie, I don t think X ever told yoa how beautiful you arc' dont think yoa have ever recognized that In a female ex. cept ia - tne sense ot a sparring partner." "WelL yoa are darned pretty too darned pretty. "What do yoa mean by thatr "Somehow I doa t associate beauty with brains don't seem right.

They danced dreamily, ecstatically; they moved oa a velvet cloud. The pale pink was gone from the rainbow. Barb's face, frankly poxzled and question ing, was only one of a phantas magoria.. Rosalie was warm, vibrant, electric "Yon're marvelous," he whis pered to her hair. Her eyes were heavy with some thing Ted could feet ia his own, some delightful drug. Barb caught his eye for a mo ment as they left the dub but co aid not hold him. Ted wandered on, under the spea of Rosalie, the gypsy, through the cold starlight . The room was dark except for a ruddy glow from a lamp at the piano. He touched her shoulder lightly, spoke softly: "Rosalie, I want to lose yon." "All right, Ted." Softly he touched her Bps, al most reverently. She did not move from his arms. Her eyea were dosed, yet expres sive. He kissed her again, found her responsive, tingling, electric. Something darted within his chest; caught at his throat, scur ried ia his stomach; something breathless, exciting, whistling commanding. He crushed her to him; her strong young arms re turned his embrace. Then she murmured: "Easy, boy easy." He moved away quickly as she spoke, and sat down. Tm sorry." She stood by his chair, rested his head against her, raa her fingers slowly through his hair, whispering gently: "It's all right" Evenings with Rosalie, poppy like, dangerously sweet Sweet; poppy dreams, excluding the pain ful thought of Barb.
