SPRAGUE," President ' Member ol The Associated Press The Associated Press Is exclusively en titled to- the. use for news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In JLncome Tax Grab There are times when one may learn more from observing a debater's phraseology and the thought patterns he unconsciously reveals, than by paying close attention to his "case in chief. In a communication appearing elsewhere on this page, an official of the League of Oregon Cities challenges The Statesman's contention that a proposal made by Mayor Elisha Large for distribution of "surplus" state income tax funds to the cities, is unconstitutional. Though that is a matter covered several times previous ly in this column and discussion now must be merely repetition, we will get around to it presently, ut there are two peculiarities in the ' communication. . . : v It refers to the "10 per cent limitation" rath er than the"6 per cent limitation" which has for years been the universal designation of the state constitution's provision. We suspect there is an "educational" alias propaganda' purpose behind thechange. " For a second point, the letter avers that the constitutional limitation involves "simply the amount of money that can be levied by local units of government." Conveniently for our purpose in examining this contention, the letter quotes the section of the constitution at issue. Clearly, it includes the state in the prohibi tion: "neither the state nor any county, mu nicipality, district, or body to which the power to levy a tax shall have been delegated . . ." Apparently the -writer wants to steer away v from discussion of the limitation as it relates to the state's tax-levying powers or else, as an advocate of what he conceives to be the cities' Interests, he is blind to any consideration of the state's interests and obligations. ., r - That may explain why he argues that the limitation relates only to local units' levying powers-and thus would not bar cities from accenting "surplus" tax funds from the state. That may be true if you. are from the cities viewpoint. But what about the state's tax-levying powers and obligations? If the state is going to turn tax money over to the cities, it must levy taxes. . Now for ia review of the income tax laws' rela tion to the 6 per "cent limitation -amendment. Though obviously the income tax is a tax, no one has determined through court action whether "taxes" in that constitutional amendment covers . the income tax. The constitution makes no men tion jot an income tax. But the income tax law was enacted by the people. . The statute-is described, in its title, as the "property tax relief act. It specifically provides that income tax funds shall be used for no purpose other than offsetting property taxes. That provision has been observed to the letter and that is precisely why a "sur plus" exists, if it does exist, today. Income tax money has offset the last penny of state prop erty tax, and there the process has stopped. 1 Now if Mayor Large or the League of Oregon. Cities should come in and ask the legislature to enact a simple law turning over income tax fund3 to the cities without making such receipts an offset of property taxes, the legislature in complying would act unconstitutionally. If the legislature should instead amend the income tax law to permit such a grant of funds, that also would be unconstitutional. Why? Because those words "property tax relief ; are in the title of the income tax act. An amendment incon sistent with the title of the act is unconstitu tional. And any distribution of income tax funds collected under the existing statute, other than for relief of property taxes, would be un constitutional. - - . True, it is merely a statute And could be re placed by a new statute one letting down the bars to discriminate and unlimited distribution of income tax funds to local government which could, and might, spend them with all the abandon of a "remittance man" .whose check from a rich relative came in the Saturday night mail. J So, you see, whether such a grab of future income tax funds would be constitutional or not would depend upon the manner in which lit was attempted. But no matter. There are bigger fish to fry. Here is the League of Cities, frankly grabbing for that income tax "surplus." And over here ; are the underpaid teachers, doing the same in a bill which is on the November ballot. ' . The Statesman has been receptive to the idea that income tax rates should be kept at their present level and the receipts applied, after wiping out all state property taxes, to the . relief of county, school district, perhaps city taxpayers on an equitable basis always off setting taxes, not supplementing them. This would have the -advantage that income levies would still be adequate for state purposes when and if incomes are deflated after the war. But these grabs reveal the danger. The only safe solution is to reduce the income tax rates and eliminate that tempting "surplus." Pappy O'Daniel Triumphs ; Because "Pass the Biscuits, Pappy" O'Daniel campaigned successfully for the Texas gover norship by crooning over the radio and affect ing the role of "an old clodhopper,' some Paci fic Northwest editors have consistently deplored the assendancy of his political star as evidence that Texans and by inference, voters in general are frivolous in their likes and dislikes. : : ; It is true that O'Daniel also made some pen sion promises that couldnt be fulfilled but otherwise, as far as we have been able to ob serve, he served satisfactorily as governor. Re gardless of his campaign pose, he was a success ful business man before he went into politics. His service to date in the United States sen ate has been too. brief to afford the basis for definite conclusions. Prior to Pearl Harbor he voted on only two major foreign policy, issues end his batting average was .500. He , opposed extension of selective service beyond a year, but v:t?d fcr repeal of the neutrality act, , ; V XL real significance of his narrow victory gasman IMIHW MM "JVo Favor Sway Ut; No Ttar Shall Awe" From First Statesman, March 28, 1851 ' over former Governor Allred in his race for Tenominationy parallels that of the Bennett Farley triumph in the New York gubernatorial nomination tussle. Allred, like Senator Mead, was backed by the White House. O'Daniel never has been a new deal yes-man. Texas demo crats like New York democrats have declared their independence of White House political leadership, which obviously is distinct from the presidency and its national leadership. , In the New York case, the president was jus tified in taking a hand; he is a citizen of New York. Particularly in wartime when he has more governmental tasks on his hands than he can possibly give adequate attention, inter ference in the Texas primary was decidedly out of order. 1 ' Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale proposes a "tax on spending." Just how it would differ from a sales tax we are not prepared to say offhand. He also urges repeal or gradual reduction of all taxes on "that part of inpome, personal or cor porate, which is saved." It sounds well, and a great deal like the biblical "To him who hath shall be given. . . " Nothing will come of it, but it's just another sign of the revolution which has occurred since as recently as 1939, when thrift was looked upon as old-fashioned if not a social evil. News Behind - The News By PAUL MALLON ; ' . (THrtrlbuttoa by Kins Features Syndicate, Inc. Repro duction In whole or, in part 'jtrictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, current discussions on Dieppe is that That kind of an thinking only not on overwhelming numbers or superior ferocity, Pmel MaHea for accomplishing as much as it did. But that same light casts speculative beams on how much more would have been accomplished with less loss, had our ships not stumbled upon the nazis unexpectedly in the darkness. Also this was almost entirely a Canadian show. Our participation was .restricted. to experimental cooperation. Incidentally, the London reports have conveyed an impression that our participants are returning, to the United States to act as instructors, suggesting that their experience may hot be used again im mediately in commando action. Only a portion are returning for teaching. The others will lead more raids .in which US forces will participate in greater numbers and with greater secrecy assured. ; ; i No more stray cover our purposes It was truly a daring commando-like feat of politics when General Jim Farley took control of the president's party in the largest State of the union although, it was not a surprise and may not have the wide repercussions which ate commonly forecast. Overlooked and controlling point of Farley's raid was that everyone expects the republican Dewey to win the state in November. , Dewey has long - seemed to be an : odds-on favorite to most politicos here, no matter whether -the democrats split, whether Mead or Bennett was nominated, no matter the American Labor party. " , The popular Lehman only beat him by 64,356. votes In 1938 (out of nearly -4,700,000 votes cast) The odds would have been against Lehman if he had run agan. ' ' - : Thus Mr.. Farley is apt to wind up with a demo cratic party control in the state, weakened by lack of any kind of pap to sustain it He cannot get any federal or New nett loses he will cult for rum to Duiia up any una ox a lormiaaoie machine, even though he is the most astute politico in the business. J Mr. Farley fought for : what . he thought was right and got nearly even for what was done to him in Washington, but you can see, if you sift' the facts further, that his power for the 1944 presi dential contest is more uncertain than popular comment suggests. ' ;V'' - ::.v If Mr. Roosevelt wants a fourth term and the war is won op- being successfully prosecuted in 1944, any bookmaker would favor White . House chances of getting the New York delegation to the next convention. However, Farley could probably swing 'the delegation against any. other person Mr. Roosevelt would try to name as his successor. No one. can see so far ahead these days with any clarity but as democratic matters stand to day, anyone except Mr. Roosevelt would have a very hard time getting that democratic nomination nationally. How broke are the republicans can best be gauged by considering that they chose a demo crat (a capable anti-Roosevelt democrat Sam Xettingill, of Indiana) to head their money-raising .. finance committee. V. . flow, pressed and unorganized they are can best be judged by two other observations: - The rich CIO bought the well placed building which republicans rented for headquarters, less than half - a block from the White House, and chased them out farther up Connecticut avenue. - Republican senators and representatives are al most unanimous in the opinion that the titular head Of the party, Mr. Willkie, could get the democratic party nomination for president today much easier than he could get the republican'nomination. 'His republican organization support around here has almost entirely fallen away. ; Only the Dewey chances are ascending on the nether political' horizon- ' - CO. publication of all this newspaper.

If you have read any of the nine books or the serials in mag azines and newspapers that would fill more than as many more, of Will Allen, you have not read anything by Will G. Al len, Salem, pioneer grower and packer of Oregon (fruits, longest living man in those lines in the capital city, and his father reaching back in that field still longer. ; Will Allen, popular writer of books and magazine and news paper articles, is not a man. He, (or rather she) is a woman. Her real name, is Dromgoole. It Is -this. way, as you may find in volume 8, on page 258 of the Na tional Cyclopedia of American Biography, the most extensive work of its kind published: a 1e "Dromgoole, Will 'Allen, auth or, was-, born at Murfreesboro, Rutherford county, Tenn, and received a masculine name be cause her parents had no son, and she was the sixth daughter. Her greatgrandfather, Thomas Dromgoole, bora in Silgo, Ire land, about the year 1750, came to North America prior to the Revolution, and traveled exten sively in eastern Virginia and North Carolina, as 'an itinerant minister ot the Methodist church. He was a member of the. first Methodist conference in this country, held , in Baltimore In 1784. His son, Thomas, also a Methodist minister, settled . in Brunswick county, Va, where he brought up enlarge family. The youngest son of Thomas, George C, was a member of the "legis lature of Virginia for 12 years, . sat in the senate nine years, and for three years was its presiding officer. He was a member of the constitutional convention of 1829-30. At the age of 38 he was elected to congress, and six times reelected. He was the best parliamentarian in that body, and Van Buren declared him to be one of Its ablest debaters, al- - though he seldom spoke. The The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers A ' V INCOME TAX SURPLUS To the. Editor: In- an editorial appearing in the Salem States man of August. 5, 1942, appears the following statement: r "It appears that Mayer Large's proposal contemplates an effort to tobtaln for 'emerg ency' use some share In the . state Income ' tax surplus, In line with the Lane of Oreron Cities appeal.

I wish to inquire what legal basis the Statesman has for the statement that a distribution of state income tax collections to local units of government would be in disregard of the 108 per cent constitutional limitation, i ' The view that is taken by the League in this matter is that the 106 per cent limitation amend ment to. the Oregon constitution involves simply the- amount '-ol money that can be levied by lo cal unii of government In ac tual practice this is our view and we believe the view of those . . 3Yt W m.M' - IP (n. f WaW j , T .aTs.

Miss Drom goole's great-grandfather on her mother's side, whose surname was Blanch, was a native of Denmark, who settled in Virgin ia, andmarried a lady of Eng lish descent Hence she is, in a certain sense, of mixed blood, but the Irish strain is the one that tells in her temperament and her writings. "She made her debut as an author in a brilliant manner by taking a prize of $250 offered by the Youth's Companion for the best story for boys. "This was in 1886, and a lit tle later, after she had served for several terms as engrossing clerk of the state senate, she was removed from office by some of the members of that body who had been assured by a tricky politician that she writ agin the mount'ns. "She soon found a ready mar ket for everything; she- wrote, and by 1894 had- published enough short stories to fill nine volumes, and had enough seri als for as many more. . S S "With her first earnings she bought a little cottage in- the Cumberland foothills, in which she spends the greater part of the year, usually visiting eastern cities In winter. J. "Her income is' earned solely by her pen, and her writings re late exclusively to fier- native ' state, to which she is passion ately devoted. ?v j:'.-'' "Her stories are either humor ous or strikingly pathetic, but she excels, perhaps, in pathetic descriptions. . "Miss Dromgoole is a lover of the woods and mountains, and -from childhood lias been expert in the use of rod and, gun."
