J .": Up-to-Date Nations' Debts j "Taxes, local and state and federal combined, are no where near as high in this country.as they are in any other great nation thafpretends to be up to date." J . Thus commented President Roosevelt in his recent Ar- thurdale address, and most of us believed lt.j Vie had neara that Great Britain's taxes were considerably higher than -- ours, that France was burdened almost beyond endurance, and of course that taxation in the fascist countries, largely to finance armament construction, was tremendous, , Nnw mmp-an analvsis bv Harrv Scherman, author of "The Promises Men Live By' in the New York Herald Trib une, pointing out that for the fiscal year recently ended, taxes in the United Kingdom amounted to about $4,914,000,000. The population is around 47 million, and that leaves an aver age per capita tax of $107. - , I V , Local, state and federal taxes in the United States, which has a population of 128,000,000, will amount this fiscal vear to about $13,700,000,000, and that, strangely enough, also figures out to $107 per capita. , '! I;, i . Thprp arc two rioints of difference, one in favor of the United States and one against. United States produces more duction basis taxes are lower. The uniavorame iacior, is inai the United Kingdom has virtually a balanced budget and the United States has not, but is continuing to spend much more rapidly than it pays the bill. " ! Figures presented by the Twentieth Century Fund show that for 1936, France spent $103 per capita, the United King dom $123 and the United States $133. I ! . Thus is exploded a prevailing misconception of relative taxation; the United States keeps even with these otnqr up to date" countries in taxation and surpasses them in gdvern- ment expenditure. There is one other error pointed out in Mr. Scherman's article. We have been paying most attention to state and federal income taxes. Of the $13,700,000,000 which will be collected in taxes two sources account for only imately one-ninth. The bulk of the remainder aside from local property taxes, consists of indirect, so-called "hidden" taxes. That is one reason we worry so little, and do so little, about governrments excessive costs. Linn County Linn county citizens are exercise of citizenship in its highest expression voting. Seems as though there's an election every few weeks. As a matter of fact, the special election set for June 21 will be the third such election within a year, although one was held coin cident with the primary election. ' I As they did last August, the Linn county voters will bal lot again June 21 on the question of building a new court house. The conditions making a new election necessary are rather complicated, and have considerable to do with the un certainty of obtaining federal assistance." It seems that the Linn county court's declaration of in tention to hold an election last year contained a reference to a PWA grant. By the time the election was held, it was ap parent that PWA funds which had apparently been available not going to be forthcoming. Nevertheless the proposal was arried by a margin of approximately $1000. There was not sufficient money on hand at the time from surplus delin quent tax receipts to finance the construction, but these old taxes continued to come in and the county built its fund up to $238,560, estimated cost of the building. j Then thecourt sought advice of the attorney general and was advised that it was bound by its original declaration that ; a share of the cost should come from PWA funds. So the pro cedure was started all over, with all reference to a, PWA grant omitted. Incidentally, the calling of the election in each case was not the result of action by the county court, but by citizens petition. I I The irony of it is that now on the eve of the second elec tion, there are strong prospects that the county will receive the federal funds, which it will of course welcome but which it didn't need except to clear up a technicality. The county court is pledged to hold the cost to the estimated $238,650, whether federal funds become available or not., Linn county considers further delay more costly than an election, but that reminds us that when Marion county votes anew on a courthouse project, it should be done at the time of the general election ; both to save costs and to insure a heavy vote which will clearly reflect Y Daladier Digging Out Notice how the internal Premier Daladier took the helm, practically disappeared from the headlines? The only important news dated Paris at pres ent involves the international situation. In this case "no news is good news," it appears, for we find ah obscure item to the effect that the French socialist party has voted in its convention to continue support of the Daladier government, and by a substantial majority. ! Of course Daladier is a "radical socialist" but in France, which has rather quaint ways of naming its parties, that means he is a moderate conservative. One reason for the . socialists' support of Daladier is the influence of Leon Blum, a member of that party who tried and failed to put through some of the measures Daladier has achieved, i 4 ; Daladier has managed to rejuvenate the fainting franc and to straighten out the national finances, and there is little danger now of serious labor trouble. Aside from his success in improving internal conditions, Daladier is all the stronger because of the peril of war. All factions are uniting to pre pare for this possibility. French "new dealers" are not giving I in without a struggle; the left wingers of the socialist party are threatening- to secede, and in recognition of their uncompromising attitude, it is believed that Daladier will make some con cessions along the line of social security and wage increases. The prediction is that his government will stay in power until the parliamentary session ends two weeks! hence, which means it will keep the reins until November when parliament . opens again. ;' An outstanding educator whose system next year is Martin J. Elle, elected this past -week to be prin cipal of the Marshtield high school. In no sense- a showman. Mr. Elle is probably not known to many persons outside the school system al though as president of the Teachers' association he had considerable contact with non-academic groups. But those in tonch with school af fairs know that he is a careful student of trends and methods, and that his work has been soundly progresslre in the seven years he has been connected with Salem schools.

What la under way is a struggle to control the democratic party and determine Its future course, whether leftward or rightward. 17 Don thsi outcome of that de- nends the Question who will be th democratic residential noml rta In 19 40. and what turn will th eoarty take in that year. And npon the answers to these ques tions hang several others, navins; to do with Dossible tblra parties. In the struggle for control, the Iowa primary was one battle. The srrouD that tried to take tnat inca: conslats of men who are White House Intimates, whose present offices are appointive, whose of fices with one exception are not important, whose place in public life depends wholly on Ibeir close ness to the president. If this group were to get 'control of the party, or set Its direction, their first choice for the presidential nomination in 1940 would be Mr. Roosevelt. Next to Mr. Roosevelt their choice would be some one at least as completely -new deal as Mr. , Roosevalti. Until recently it was comr only supposed their second, choice would be Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, Wallace Refuses But in the Iowa primary, a dis ruptive Incident occurred. Mr. Wallace declined to take part in the effort to punish Senator Gill ette for opposing President Roose velt's court measure. The others of the group brought angry pres sure on Mr. Wallace to help. They inspired newspaper publications criticizing him for not helping. .But Mr. Wallace, possibly because he is a citizen ot Iowa, resisted all pressure .to take a hand In what to him was a local fight. The principal political arma ment possessed by this group is their closeness to the president. They can intimidate democratic senators and - put pressure, on heads of democratic state organ izations only so far as they deem to speak for the president. One of them, Mr. Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator, has immense amounts of money to disburse and much' patronage to appoint directly or indirectly. . But as to Mr. Hopkins and all the group, they have little power unless it Is thought the president backs them up. And Mr. Roosevelt cau tiously refrains from backing .them up overtly. By this prudent course, Mr. Roosevelt, after the Iowa primary, was able to act as if the outcome were not displeas ing to him. But the Iowa outcome was a serious setback to the group around the president. All -the democratic senators who opposed the president's court measure, or otherwise practice Independent Judgment, felt more encouraged. Heads ' of democratic organiza tions In the states know they need pay no attention when "Mr. Hopkins speaks. Yet it is. likely this group will continue their campaign to "purge" the demo cratic party ot those whom they do not like, and to fix the course of the party in 1940. Garner Typical In the struggle for control, the group on the other side is sym bolized by men like Vice-President Garner! Mr. Garner is hardly likely to take a public attitude, though many democratic senators hare and will. The desire ot most of them is to take control of the , i 11 tft Iwftt IllllV J $5000 Game Funds Sportsmen's Protests . Diversion Influence Commission PORTLAND, June ll-(rF)-Pro- tests of Oregon sportsmen mnu enced the state game commission today to limit its appropriation for a San Francisco fair exhibit to $5000. Decision was made to spend no more than that amount to send animals and fish to the exposition C. T. Haas, chairman of the Oregon committee in behalf of the exhibit, pleaded for a much larg er appropriation, arguing . that the benefits in advertising war ranted a more lavish outlay. The commission had been expected to pay $50,000 toward an Oregon ex hlblt. Many Protest More than a dozen letters pro testing the diversion of funds were received from, sportsmen's organizations who argued that state game fund money was only for fish and game propagation. W, J. Smith, president ot the Oregon Wild Life federation: Ed Brockman, representing the Mult nomah Hunters and Anglers club, and Francis Lambert, well known sportsmen, appeared personally and protested. Commissioner Lew Wallace suggested the proposed diversion of game funds tor a fair exhibit should be put up to a special session of the legislature, . Pending a conference with the US biological survey, the commis sion tabled a proposal to establish an open season on band-tailed pigeons, the claim being made that the birds were so numerous they endangered fruit crops.

They do not wish the next demo cratic presidential nomination to go to any conspicuous new deal er. But neither do they wish It to go to any conspicuous anti new dealer. If they had complete powef and could do as they wished, they would not nominate any one like Senator Burke, of Nebraska, for example. They wish not to offend Mr. Roosevelt. They wish not to give Mr. Roose velt or those close to him any reason for going to a third party, or for organizing one of their own. They want Mr. Roosevelt to support whoever Is the demo cratic presidential nominee in 1940. To that end, if they con trol the party, they will probably nominate some distinguished democrat who, as between r?v deal an danti-new deal. Is a middle-of-the-roader. In the struggle for control of the party, National Chairman and Postmaster General Farley is in a position which must make bira uncomfortable. He did not Join these Intimates of the presi dent who tried to defeat Sena tor Gillette. And when Senstor Gillette won, it can be assumed that the heartiness of Mr. Far ley's telegram of congratulation was not ordinary political blar ney. Farley Powerful Mr. Farley, if he feels free to nse his power, can count heavily . in the choice of the democratic presidential nominee In 1940. He is close to the party organizations in the states and cities. Those organizations, If they are free from pressure from the president, are more powerful than any group in Washington. Mr. Farley would be most unlikely ever to do any thing offensive to Mr. Roose velt. Probably he, unless he is given notice to the contrary, would go on the assumption that ot course Mr." Roosevelt would not attempt a third term. As between the group around the president and the group sym bolized by Vice President Gar ner, Mr. Farley s position .is closer to the latter. He, like - the Garner group. wants party success 1n 1940, and is more interested in party suc cess than , In any line ot thought. "Ideology" does not interest Mr. Farley as much as it does the group around the president. He would probably like a nomina tion which would hold conserva tive democrats, within the party, but at the same time would com mand the support of Mr. Roose velt, and give no. occasion to the group around Mr. Roosevelt to go off to a third party. Some such middle-of-the-road course Is more likely as a re sult of the Iowa primary. Defi nitely, the movement toward the left is checked for the time be ing. If the check. is permanent, and if the democrats in 1940 nominate a candidate of. the middle-of-the-road type, it will be in teresting to see what course Is taken by the radical democrats. Their only alternative would seem to be a third party. Eden Hits Policy Of Chamberlain Attack Comes as Spain and Czechs Hold Europe's Eyes . (Continued trom page 1) mans In the relch of Adolf Hitler.

The situation in Czechoslovakia admittedly was potentially dan gerous but It was believed not nearly as menacing as It was three weeks ago when Britain threw her whole diplomatic weight In the path of what many believed to be a Hitler plan to march into Czechoslovakia.
