Penny Wise; Pound Foolish IF Oregon is preparing to go out of business and turn the state back to the Calapooias and the Cayuses then it is satisfactory to close the agricultural experiment stations. If, on the other hand, the state is desirous of going ahead and conquering the obstacles which r$nv beset us then it would seem folly to end the work which has been of vital impor tance to the welfare of the state. Oregon farms and orch ards must compete with other districts : and if our farmers are to survive they must learn low-cost production, low-cost marketing, proper packaging and merchandising. The ex periment stations and affiliated extension agencies have been of great value to farmers and orchardists; and the need continues even in times of depression. The state horticultural society took prompt action op posing the closing of the stations. These members have per sonal knowledge of the practical value of the scientific work of the stations along lines they are interested in. The Med ford Mail-Tribune, published in the heart of the Rogue river pear country, while favoring holding down costs, says : "We do deny that abandoning extension and experimenta tion work entirely Is either neiessary or advisable. And wo foel confident that when the members of the legislature get together and consider this problem, calmly and in the light of all the factors involved, they will agree that the dollar saved by such extreme action, would be a mere drop In the bucket, com pared to the financial loss to the agricultural and horticultural Industry of Jthe state, as a whole, a loss that would be suffered not only next year, but through the year to come." Those familiar with the work of the experiment sta- j tions are confident that they have paid for themselves many j times over. The Moro station for example developed Hard Federation wheat which has proved one of the best varieties ! for growing in eastern Oregon and Washington. The Clat sop station has led in transforming the lower Columbia dis trict from a timber and fishing country to a dairying and truck-raising country. This agricultural development is proving the very backbone of that area at the present time. When the pear growers saw their markets threatened be cause of regulations against spray residue, scientists at the Talent station and the state college enveloped a simple, in expensive treatment which saved the day for them. These are only a few recent examples of valuable work which these stations have performed. Experimentation is a continuous process. Each project covers a term of years. To abandon work entirely means to throw away the investment in partially completed experi ments. How much money is required for conducting the essen tial work, we do not undertake to say. There may be some services which we could afford to drop for the time being. But it seems to us foolish economy to suspend the scientific investigation which is indispensable in this highly compet itive age. STN0PS13 It 'la the rear lOI.

CHAPTER TWENTY -ONB Meanwhile, now on the poop. December 11, 1007 The causa of industrial peaow was last night preaeated to a gathering at the Unitarian church. by Patrick Scullen, originator of the peace movement which is rap idly assuming more than national prominence. Governor Chamber lain, who heartily approves of the movement and had been appoint ed to act as chairman of the meeting, was kept away by bus iness. Why Not a Modified Income Tax A sales tax, if imposed in this state, will work a lot of hard irla. ship, and that upon the weakest members of the com munities of the utate. It may cause the death of a lot of re tail establishments which cannot absorb the tax and cannot pass it on. Those doing business in items costing less than a dollar will have difficultyin adding the one or two per cent sales tax. The restaurant charging 5c for a cup of cof fee and 10c for a sandwich cannot add a cent to the unit price, so he will just be stuck for the sales tax. He might of course put more hot water in the coffee or slice the ham a trifle thinner; but it is hard to be accurate and still keep patronage. ' Understanding as we do that the state needs more rev enue, why not obtain it by a modified income tax? This would reach the ones actually enjoying a net income. Taxes liave to be paid out of income. The opposition to an income tax should pass when it is realized that a sales tax is apt to cumulate many times so the person of small income may pay considerably more in a sales tax than he would on an in come tax. While it may seem outrageous to suggest it, even the old property tax has something to commend it. It reaches those with property in this state who reside outside its bor ders. Timber has been overtaxed it is true, but timber rep resents a large portion of wealth in this state. Should it no pay some tax either in the form of a direct property tax, severance tax, or an income tax? Persons owning farm lands. city property, etc., who reside outside the state, would pay no sales tax here, yet their property derives benefits of gov eminent here. Imposing a jiales tax lifts that much load from the non-resident property-owner. The trouble with the sales tax is that it does not dis tribute the burden with full equity, is subject to consider able evasion, and may be made burdensome because it is in direct. The legislation should not rush a new tax through in just a few days. The Elks lodge here has for years put on a Chrntmas enter tainment and raised money for its Christmas cheer fund. The shows hare been presented so many years, and have been so popular that about aU they have to do is to announce the dates and they got packed houses for two nights. Many times they have engaged pro fessionals to put on the program, but this year the performance was strictly home talent; and thera is enough variety In the lodge membership to put on a fine program. Lymaa McDonald and Clif ford Mudd and Tiny McNamara, .orchestra leader, and their corps of assistants won many compliments for the performance put on Thursday and Friday. And there will be many happy homes and nearis tais Christmas when the Elks baskets go the rounds. Yesterdays ...

Talmadge, Sage of Salem Ioe-iber 1L, 1923 At Aumsrnla yesterday after noon was held a mooting that may prove to bo the solution of the irrigation problem for much of the fertile but all too dry 3an- tiam valley. A committee was ap pointed to make an exhaustive study of water rights and ditches of the old Willamette Valley Ir rigated land company, and to frame' up a tentative plan for op eration. Committeemen are: T. E. Thompson, A. E. Bradley, J. N. Duncan, Harry Colgin and J. W. McKinney. THE open season for wild duck closes December 15. Wild duck meat Is very good eat ing and wild dnck shooting is vary good sport, as William Ev erett Anderson and a dose or moro other reputable citlsens ot Salem will testify. Personally. I know little about It. I once spent a Sunday after noon duck hunting with Mike Terry. Mtke had tlio gun. I went with him for the exercise and be cause I had nothing else to do. Wo walked fully five miles on frozen mud before wo saw a small nartv. or whatever It's called, of ducks. Mike fired both barrels at the ducks and knocked a feather from the tall of one of them. The feather came fluttering down. Then Mike discovered that ho had left his supply of shells at home. "Well,' said he, after explod ing a number of other words, "wo may as well go back. If 'twas ti gers or something like that we was hunting 'twould bo different; wo could club thera to death. But 'tis no use hunting ducks without ammunition, I'll take tha feather along; 'twill come handy for oil ing the clock." So wa went back. Mrs. Tarry saw us coming- and stepped onto the front stoop to greet as. "Where are the ducks?" she asked. "He flew away," said Mike. "I hit him all right, but 'twas not in a vital spot." afwraajs '"' " r hf f ' D. H. TALMADGsl National Commander Elvla M.

Dr. Frank Vlietelly, managing editor of the new Standard Dic tionary, said In tho course of a recent address: "Mistakes, and I make my full share, may bo avoided by concentration upon what we have in hand, even If we do use a langaago that enables us to say.
