I Organizing the Campaign
STATE officials headed by the governor, the speaker of
2 the house and the president of the senate have com
bined to carry forward a campaign in behalf of the fiscal
ippisiaiion enacieu uv xne last

jprogram is a comprehensive one. To single out one partic
ular item and assail it or commend it, is not enough. The
whole program must be considered in order to come to a
wise conclusion.
, ij-Ai reorganized by the legislature the taxing system
for'support of government would consist of the following:
X. Real property tax, which hitherto has borne nearly
the whole load for state and local governments. Under the
new plan the real property tax would not be required for
state purposes and would be reduced for county purposes.
This will mean a substantial saving for farmers, for home
owners, for owners of city property and factories.
U 2. Income tax: this will be sharply increased, with low
er&i exemptions, on the ground that those who are getting
incomes are the ones who are able to pay taxes.
:t 3. Increased inheritance taxes and a new gift tax.
h 4. Sales tax. This is a two-year tax, designed to bring
in' revenues at a time when real property taxes are going
delinquent. Part of the tax goes to the state and part back
to the counties. Farmers do not have to pay the tax on the
produce they sell.
T The Statesman will support the governor and the leg
islature in the tax program. We have been unfriendly to a
sales tax; but have come to the conclusion that its imposition
is virtually inevitable in order to sustain the credit of the
state. We may find it like going swimming: after we make
the first plunge the water feels fine.
With the provisions which the bill includes: lifting of
the personal property tax and sharing the proceeds with
counties, many of the objections are mitigated. The burden
of taxation still rests most heavily on the wealthier classes
because of the very heavy income tax, the increased inheri
tance tax, and the new gift tax.
f If Gov. Meier and other leaders in the state will carry
or" a vigorous campaign of explanation to the people, they
should be able to "sell" the tax program to the state, which
would mean a definite solution of the serious problems
which the state faces in its financial structure. A mere en
dorsement in general terms will be wholly inadequate.

many which come from seaports. Such items are part of the
price which men still pay who make their living out of the
sea, part of the price which is paid that those who live far
from the sound of the surf may have their Friday fish, of
halibut or cod, or salmon.

The tragedies of the trolling ships are seldom recount
ed. Only a few ttien man each vessel ; when it goes down with
all hands lost there is no survivor to tell the tale of a fight
against the elements, with a helpless engine, a broken
rudder, or a growing vent in the side. Men still brave the
sea however, drawn to it by necessity or by choice; and the
sea still claims a toll of victims, spite of man's skill and in
genuity. The toll seems peculiarly heavy among the small
boats of the coastwise fishermen.

kept him awake, with his whole

When overtaken with Indict
ment and arrest, Beala and Baker
hired tha best array of attorney
obtainable. They were Logan A
Strong and Caton ft Curl. They
tint made a motion to quash, tha '
Indictment; overruled. Next they
presented affidavits of the men
and asked for a change of venae,
claiming they could not hava a.
fair trial in Marlon county; over
ruled. Heaie signed his affidavit,
in a hand showing poor perman
shlp. Baker signed his with a
cross. He could not write. George
P. Beale was the chief conspira
tor. Baker was the dupe, though
a willing one. The records show
the name of George A. Edes, coun
ty clerk. He waa tha father of
Mrs. Henry W. Meyen of Salem.
Tha papen were served by the
then Marion county sheriff, Sam
uel Headrick, and he made tha re
turns on tha execution, showing
that he had dory performed his
duty e! hanging the culprits.
S S
In those days, it was up to the
sheriff to find a place for the exe
cution, to hare the scaffold built,
etc., and the hsnglngs were in the
open, witnessed by all who came
or could get positions with the
proper visibility through or over
the other men, women and chil
dren, tall or short, who crowded
to the scene. As the Beale and
Baker hanging was witnessed by
perhapa 6000 people, all In Ore
gon who could get to the scene. It
was a notable one hence the
great Interest that has followed
it; to say nothing of the enormity
of the crime expiated.
W
In late July and early August,
1919, issues bt this column many
of the particulars ver rirn
Briefly, they follow:
George P. Beale was a saloon
keeper in a building that stood
where the Marion hotel is bow.
George Baker was a butcher. Dan
iel Delaney. Sr., their victim, had
his donation claim near what is
now the town of Turner; about
10 miles from Salem. As before
said, Delaney had befriended
Beale on the 1818 plains Journey,
and after their arrival In Oregon.
The court records show that some
time before the murder, Delaney
had started suit against Beale,
probably to safeguard a loan of
money he had advanced. There is
also a record that Beale had been
arrested for the violation of a law
against allowing minors In his
saloon.
There was another member of
the family here. Wm. K. Beale.
In the Rogue River Indian war,
he waa secon dlleutenant of one
of the Salem companies of volun
teers, of which J. W. Nesmlth waa
captain, and L. F. Grover first
lieutenant. Most readers know
that Nesmlth became 0. S. sena
tor and congressman, and Gro
ver governor and U. S. senator,
and both men held many other
positions of trust and honor. Tha
court records show that his wife
