Special Session Argument
No one wants a special session unless there
are clear and undeniably sound reasons for
calling one. The cost, roughly between $35,000
and $30,000, must be weighed against positive
advantages to the general taxpaying public.
Special sessions cannot be limited' to considera
tion of specific matters. Special sessions, partic
ularly a few months before a primary election,
give opportunity to vote-seeking politicians to
promote their candidacies.
The case against special sessions of the legis
lature in general is thus succinctly stated In a
bulletin prepared by F. H. Young, manager of
Oregon Business & Tax Research, Inc. Members
of the organization received, along with the
bulletin, questionnaires to be returned showing
their opinion as to the advisability of a special
session at this time.
Having listed the obvious objections to a spe
cial session, the bulletin devotes rather more
space to an outline of the arguments in favor of
convening the 41st legislature at this time. This
department does not subscribe to the contention
of another Salem newspaper's political writer
that the bulletin was weighed deliberately on
the affirmative side. It is our opinion however
that it was fully and adequately presented.
The arguments have to do chiefly with taxa
tion; Four unsatisfactory conditions, it is con
tended, demand correction and could be. cor
rected by the legislature in special session:
(1) The interim committee studying Oregon's'
tax structure to determine whether it' is an aid
or a detriment to the state's industrial develop
ment, lacks funds to make a competent sur
vey. (2) The state income tax rates are unneces
sarily high, a surplus will pile up in the state
treasury next year this at a time when federal
Income taxes have, necessarily been sharply
Increased.
(3) Because of the change in property tax
paying dates, individuals and corporations who
have been accruing their property taxes will be
able to list only a portion of them as offset
against federal income taxes. This does not
apply to those who pay property taxes on a
calendar year basis. A slight amendment will
provide relief, it is contended.
(4) There is need for "relief particularly in
Multnomah county for property taxpayers
whose assessments are increased in. compliance
with the tax commission's ruling, now affirmed
by the state supreme court, that property must
be assessed on a uniform ratio to true cash
value. In connection with this, the most per
sistent argument presented in support of the
special session call, the bulletin says:
There is no intention to seek legislative sanc
tion for a return to "variable ratios." But cer
tainly , in Multnomah and probably in other
counties, a uniform ratio cannot he applied
suddenly and result in equitable assessments.
Reappraisal of properties, homes in particular,
should be undertaken to obtain sound values
against which the "uniform" rate could be ap
plied. ... Suggestion has been made that the
legislature . . . postpone application of "uni
form" ratios until reappraisal can be made In
orderly manner.
Those are the arguments. There is no dis
position here, and no occasion, to deny that
these are matters which the legislature may
properly consider. Leaving the third argument
for later separate discussions, we do question
the need for immediate consideration, at the
cost of a special session, of the others, j
Certainly providing funds for an interim study
on a question so extensively and fruitlessly de
bated in the past as the effect of our taxation
system on Industrial development, is not suffi
cient cause for convening the legislature. The
second argument we have discussed here vo
luminously in the past If income taxes pile up,
taxpayers will in due time get relief in equal
amount and it will be at least as welcome in
1943 or '44 as next year, for federal taxes are
not going to be any lower.
The assesment issue also has been discussed
here previously. That Multnomah county's tax
payers, or even its legislators, are resigned to
eventual compliance with the tax commission
ruling and have no intention of fighting to re
: store "variable ratios,'' is news to .us. It has not
; been many days since we read argument to the
contrary. Since the supreme court has ruled on
the constitutional issue, the legislature's power
to grant "temporary relief becomes extremely
." dubious. .', r:.
! But if this is all Multnomah county wants,
and if competent counsel deems such relief con
stitutionally possible then we are willing to
entertain the idea of a special session under
certain conditions. Those conditions are:
That the Multnomah delegation or other in
terested parties draft the specific legislation de
. sired and then obtain the signed pledges of a
I . majority in each house, to support such legisla
tion, together with an agreement that no meas
. urea, other than those upon which such pre
agreement has been reached, win be considered.
Under such a plan, the legislature could get

"No Favor strays Us; No Fear Shall Aue
From Tint Statesman, Uarcb 18, 1831
Home Building
Back in 1934, only 55,000 non-farm family ;
residence units were built In ihe. United States,
From that rock bottom, home construction has '
steadily increased until in 1940 it amounted to
540,000 units. Construction this year, started,
and proceeded up to the ' time of . the drastic
SPAB order recently announced, at a pace which
indicated 'that the final figure would be 700,009.
Federal Housing administration now has fig
ures based upon applications for loans which, it
guarantees, showing that immediately, after Is
suance of the SPAB order, commencement of
residence construction slumped suddenly and
sharply. What is even more serious, the slump
extended to homes which private interests were
expecting, and were expected by defense
agencies, to build in defense areas. As a result
the government probably will have to provide
for a much greater share of this construction; it
has anticipated that private interests would take
care of 80 per cent of the demand.
Total construction on the Pacific coast was
greater, in October, than in September or in
October, 1940; but new residence construction
was down 9 per cent from September and down
13 per cent from October of last year. Oregon
however showed a gain; in fact both residential
and non-residential new construction started In
October was almost double that of the corre
sponding month last year. In Washington, resi
dential construction gained, non-residential was
halved; in northern California both classes
slumped dismally.
Conviction of
Sir Samuel Hoare, who was British foreign
secretary and later home secretary in the Cham
berlain cabinet and who was co-author with
Pierre Laval of France, of the agreement which
permitted Mussolini to gobble up Ethiopia, has
caused some astonishment on both sides of the;'
Atlantic by advocating the opening of a "sec
ond land front" on the west to divert some of
the nazis' attention from the Russian front.
Why anyone should be more than mildly
astonished is not clear. This war has been go
ing on for two years and what Briton is not
now convinced, no matter how persistently he
supported it at the time, that appeasement was
a failure? Some may be too stubborn or too
proud or too ashamed to admit it but they all
know it.
Similarly a great many Americans were cer
tain in their own minds, two years ago and
as recently as 18 months ago, that preserving
our neutrality by every possible means should
be this nation's prime objective. Most of them,
even including many who still hold that as one
objective, not realizing that this nation already
is actually at war, now recognize a bigger ob
jective. Intelligent folk do change their minds, sometimes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11 Stalin talked as if he

mystery has been cleared in every chancellery, in

The Duke of Hamilton, upon whose estate Hess
landed, has suffered from the incident more than
Hitler's right-hand man. The duke was busy

"The Alaska highway was

it passed from Fairbanks, Alas

Today's Garden
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Pink flowering almond (Mrs.
A. R.) frequently is troubled with
the disease you mention that of
wilting and dying back branches
in mid-growing season. You
should have cut off the dying
branches at that time and burned.
Cut out now that which appears
to be dead. Use a cleanup bor
deaux spray this fall, soaking tha
entire shrub and the soil beneath
It
This flowering shrub is one of
our prize numbers here in the
Willamette valley and its tend
ency to ailment is a great dis
appointment to many of us.
The cotoneaster horizon talis
(also Mrs. A. R.) is given to the
webworm of which you com
plain. Spraying for this should
be started in early spring and
continued up to mid-summer.
Pyre thrum and lead arsenate
sprays have been recommended.
Gardening is, as you say, a
"chore," but so is everything else
one does if one looks at it that
way. Pumping a small dust gun
out in my own garden doesn't
seem half as much work to me as
tearing through- miles of under
brush in pursuit of a deer but
the "chore" is in the not having
a real "feel" for the Job like me
behind a rifle and you behind the
spray gun.
Unless one really enjoys gar
dening, one should plant the most
fool-proof shrubs and plants, ar
range the garden so that it will
be as little care as possible, or
move into an apartment. Most
of our play is hard work if we
don't like it, and most-f our
work is play it we enjoy it. (Mrs.
A. R. insisted gardening was hard
work and took time away from
hunting and fishing which were
play to her.)

ter and by seven' o'clock he was
letting himself out of the billiard
room door Into" the garden.
Tht morning- was misty and
gave hint of a brilliant day to
come.- He glanced at his wrist
watch and saw that he had two
hours .before he need leave in
the car. On the spur of the mo
ment, he passed through the gate
in the lofty garden wall and
found himself in the narrow lane
which lead to Weyiand's Wood.
Five minutes' walk brought
him to the spot where Mr. Penv
nyfeather had met his death.
Yves was moving slowly over the
ground, his eyes intent, when
a hoarse voice from the mist ex
claimed suddenly, "Now then,
now then, and whatmlght you
be a-doln of?"
Yves looked up and recognized
Simon Whistlecraft, . Weyland
stable.
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Yves,"
he pronounced it Wives'
"Tunable business, this 'ere, yiss,
yiss."
"Mot-Din", Whistlecraft," nod
ded Yves pleasantly. "Yes, It's
all that You been here long?"
"Every hour of the night, Mr.
Wives."
Yves had a short conversation
with the policeman who con
firmed the evident fact that the
stony ground near the first trees
of Weyiand's Wood would retain
no footprint . '
On his return to the house,
'Yves found the local inspector of
police seated in the ha.IL
"Hello, Rainbird, any further
developments?"
"No, Mr. Yves."
"What's Colonel Stafford- go
ing to do now?" asked young
Blaydes-Steele.
"Well, that's what I come to
see His Lordship about The
Colonel's against call in' in the
Yard and I'm here behind his
back, so to speak."
"You want my brother to per
suade your chief to appeal to
Scotland Yard, is that it?"
"Well, sir, ifs like this," went
on the inspector with good, hard
sense. "Chaps like me is all very
well for dealing with small bur
glaries and thefts of bicycles and
such like, but it stands to reason
we havent had the experience
that these fellows up at the Yard
get I always say If yon want an
expert's Job done, why call in an
expert"
"I always thought you were
extremely sensible," nodded
Yves. "Have you had any break
fast? No? Then come in and
have some grub with me."
After breakfast the inspector
asked, "When might it be con
venient for me to see His Lord
ship?" "ni find out for you," said
Yves. "But I've a suggestion to
make if you wouldn't mind."
"After that there breakfast,
Mr. Yves," said Rainbird expan
sively, "I wouldn't mind any
thing." "
"Well, this is how I gee it" said
Blaydes-Steele. "You would like
to bring in the Yard. Colonel
Stafford is against it I have no
doubt my brother could persuade
your superior to fall in with your
wishes but it wouldn't make for
the best relations between you.
would it?"
Rainbird nodded. "Not the very
best sir."
"Exactly, said Yves. "Now I've
another idea. Have you ever
heard of Meredith?"
"You mean Sir John Meredith
as was Superintendent Meredith
of the CID. Why 'e's a 'ole Yard
in 'imselC"
"That's the fellow," nodded
Yves. Tm seeing hirn today.
Perhaps I might persuade him
to take an unofficial interest in
the case."
"You couldnt have anybody
better," agreed the inspector.
"I've always wanted to see Sir
John Meredith at work. Be an
education, it would. And now 111
be getting along, Mr. Yves. Thank
you for the breakfast Oh, and
another thing, perhaps you
wouldn't mind not mentioning
my visit to the Colonel If you
happen to see him."
"ni be as dose as an oyster,"
promised his host
When the inspector had gone
Angela appeared in the doorway
of the dUning-roofn.
"Morning, Yves. John's on the
phone and wants to know what
he's to wear."
