' - . - - , The Budget and Congress In his address on the "state of the nation" President .Roosevelt paved the way. by his reference to the present 60 billion dollar national income and the possibility of -an 80 bil lion dollar income, for his submission on the following day of an approximately, nine billion dollar budijet which would involve according to his own figures, a deficit he called it an "investment" in his first messageof more than three billion unless additional or increased taxes were imposed. ; The entire proposal is based upon the bizarre theory out lined in this- column some, weeks aeo as entertained by the tion that the depression's cost to the nation was 178 billion dollars beside which the annual deficit and the total debt seem insignificant; that it is futile to do anything about balancing the budget until the national income is restored to what it might have been. It entails also the president's fixed belief that pump-priming is the only method whereby it may be re stored. It is the same old theory, though couched now in brand-new terms. In truth, now that the president has submitted his bud get, it seems all the more improbable that his spending pro gram will be throttled by congress. Nevertheless there is strong sentiment on the republican side and presumably among the independent democrats, against this pump-priming theory, and this difference of opinion on federal expendi tures may . well become the outstanding battle of the session. In attempting to analyze the probable outcome of this battle, it is necessary to look beyond the actual political com plexion of congress to the makeup of the committees, -which do the really important work. There are still 261 democrats and only 169 republicans in the house of representatives; in the senate the division is 69-23, with a scattering of indepen dents, progressives, farmer-labor and American labor party in. each branch. Since the division in the house is almost ex actly 60-40, leaders have agreed upon that ratio as a basis for committee assignments, so that a committee of 25 will have 15 democratic members and 10 republicans. Thus on a mat ter of fundamental principle, the presence of three conserva tive democrats on such a committee would swing the outcome to the conservative side provided the republicans stick toge ther, p :.; z : v : r?? ' : This percentage does not apply to the powerful rules committee, which always carries a heavier percentage of the majority party because it is regarded as an administration committee. But it does apply to the appropriations commit tee.il the republicans on this committee set themselves firm ly to the task of blocking pump-priming appropriations, it is highly possible that they will find enough democrats ready to join theznV to bottle up- the spending program right there although they will find the pressure tremendous, as did the small boy who put his thumb in the hole in the dyke. . . ' '' v. i i t : esssesSMMS ss. ; : v .. . : ., 1 OreonvTax-Rcduction League i It' seems true of taxes, as of weather but without the same justification, that people talk about them a great deal but do very little except to pay them or neglect to pay them. As for the impending legislative session, the prospect is that little can be done about reducing the state's expenses; the fight will be to keep within the budget that the Martin . ad ministration has devised; so as to avoid the choice between new taxation and a deficit But after all, the state is a poor third in importance as a taxing agency, with the federal gov ernment out ahead and local government, including schools, a fairly dosejiecond. t ; Down in Clackamas county, from whence have emanated some of Oregon's most progressive and sometimes radical ideas on government, a new organization has just developed, with its original source in the rural communities, designed to make a thorough study of taxation problems and to keep on the alert in current matters of public expense. It is known as the Oregon Tax-Reduction league, and it is proposed that ad ditional chapters be organized in other counties. ' If the organization functions as intended it may become an important factor in developing an intelligent understand ing of public finance. If it functions at all, that will be so mucn clear. gain: for the empty sions attest the apathy of citizens in general toward this prob lem an apathy which reflects, perhaps, hopelessness. If it serves only to fill those spectator benches at the meetings at which public expenditures are thing. The manner in which is encouraging, as are its nine stated objectives : . . 1. To oppose extraragance In the spending of all public monies. D-'I-'; . - I. To Inrestlgate the expenditure of all tax monies collected by the state of Oregon, and all political anb-dlrisions of the state. -. 2. To make public any instance of extraragance or willful waste of public monies that may exist, together with the names of any and alt public officials who may be guilty of such waste or extraragance. r .. ... 4. To oppose any. unnecessary tax lerles, exceBStre issues . of warrants or excessire rates of interest that may be lerted, is . sued or contracted by any public official. ' - S. To secure a maximum and uniform benefit of all public expenditures within the state, or any poUUcal sub-dlTislon of the state.. - .To equalize the burden of state and local taxes, so that each IndTrldual and section may be Justly, equally and reason ably taxed. , . 7. To advocate a uniformity of records tad accounting by all public Institutions withla the state. - S-To oppose any and all practices not conducive to good gov ernment. -l-- -" ' I Having already taken a realistic view of the problem, the league is likely to face, early in existence, two hard facts: first, that economy begins at home, in the smaller taxing un its; second, that aside from some corner-cutting and elimin ation of waste, actual tax reduction necessarily involves the relinquishing of some services the people now expect govern cent to perform. .-" . : , ... ...

HENDRICKS Musical people of the - 1-7-11 Pacific sutes plan for Henry T. Flack, Oregon boy, - who had wide fame, a monument: '. 4. Vl' V: ' 7, v - (Continuing from yesterday:) Why, specially, woald ? Aurora, Oregon, be an appropriate place for a -monument, or memorial . to Henry T. Finch? Well, he was brought to Aurora at eight years of age, and had his ten years of training there which qualified him to enter Harvard, the first Ore gon student in the famous insti tution;, and -to be granted sopho more : standing in ureex, iaun. French and German granted upon rigid examination, r That thing never before happened at Harvard. And never since. In his last book, his autobio graphy, "My Adventures in tie Golden Age of Music," the final proofs of which were revised al most with his expiring Dream, Finck told many things compli mentary to Oregon. Some excerpts follow: ' ' S S ! "It has always been a matter of special satisfaction and pride to me that my early life, from my eighth year to my eighteenth, was associated lnseperably with Ore gon apples. If there is anything in all the wide world better to eat than an Oregon apple I have not found it though I have been, an indefatigable traveler on four out of five continents of this globe of ours. ... All my life I have been fighting the outrageous lie -that the highbred Oregon apples, while large and beautiful to look at, are inferior in flavor to the under bred, puny eastern apples. During every one of the 43 years I spent lit New York City, the greatest ap ple market In the world, I -com pared the Oregon fruit with the eastern, and almost invariably found the western better. "M& testimony is of especial weight because I hare always been an ultra epicure. . . Oregon apples can be grown only In Ore gon. Hence my aforesaid pride. My youth was spent In the midst of a large orchard which support ed our family and. later on, paid my education at Harvard. It came about in this way: S "When we came from Missouri via New Tork and Panama to Portland, .... we did not stop at this metropolis of Oregon, which . . is undoubtedly the most pic turesquely situated city" la the United States, but took the stage for a village named Aurora Mills, 29 miles south of Portland. Here Dr. Kell made his home. ... and was gradually importing his col ony from Missouri. We did not ex actly, belong to this colony, but we shared some of its socialistic advantages, while the colony ben efited by my father's musical en deavors to help make life, worth living. "By rare good luek, which -1 shall never cease to chuckle over. he was able to buy a house with a fine apple orchard on a hill only half a mile from the village.' (The house still stands, though unoccupied and in poor repair. It is easily seen on the right hand side of the left hand road leading west (over the bridge) out of Au rora.) "It was. . . . one of the very first and best of the .many com mercial orchards for which Ore gon soon became famous. I find from my diary that we harvested up to 2000 bushels a year. What did we do with them? My first impression is that we ate most of them; but there were plenty left to ship to San Francisco. . . The proceeds paid our living expenses, with a margin for other things . . . Ton may not believe It, but it is a positive fact that we never needed to spray against pernicious Insects and we never had It plowed. No need of such things . . . Surely, Oregon la the natural home of the apple.' S S The orchard mentioned was set out by the colony people, in the late '50s. It was a large planting; the part sold to Finck's father was only a comparatively small section of it. Little or no sign of the once, thrifty fruit trees are left. Old timers In Oregon remem ber, with horror, the first wormy apples they saw. As Henry T. Finck wrote, no spraying' was needed la pioneer days. " . Of the Aurora colonists, among many other things, Finck wrote ia his last book: "It the whole world were made up of such, there would be - no need - of locks and keys and safes. I woald have trust ed my bottom dollar to any one of them." He added: "They wore their best clothes on Sundays and the flowers la their gardens showed! that they loved beautiful things.? under me needing, "What a Wolf Did for Me." the great auth or and. critic wrote, in his last book, of the training for college ia the KeO colony, and the train ing for life, which Christopher w, Wolff, the community's scholarly teacher, bestowed upon the ambi- J. D. Boss, administratof pointed superintendent or Seattle City Light for another three-year term. The Dalles Chronicle objects to Ross' dual connections and points to them as one reason Oregon ' ecro munitles bave,Jeen slow to adopt the power policies he advo cates.. On the contrary, Oregonians ought to feel .reassured by the fact that Seattle officials still consider Ross a good man; As for suspicion that he may be prejudiced in favor of Puget, Sound or , Washington to general, Isn't he advocating the same policies for Oregon that he is for .Washington? We are not so worried about Boss possible favoritism ,as about his tendency to Impractical idealism.

He felt that such ambition ought to be encour aged. I gladly accepted his offer. It was the most fortunate-thing that ever happened to me in all my long life. For Wolff not only taught me the old languages, but he helped to open my eyes to the countless beauties of nature about us. "As a born gardener, I natural ly loved flowers, wild as weU as cultivated, but it was he who re vealed to me the lure of botany, the scientific side of plant-life. MI soon found it great fun to be able to discover the name of any strange plant I came across by comparing its leaves and roots and items and corollas and sta mens and pistils with the classi fied descriptions given in my bo tanical text-book."
