THE STATESMAN PUBUSHING CO. ,
""''.. CHARLES A. CPRAGUE, Editor and Publisher . . .
' Member of The Associated Press .;-:

Home for Easter
Congress packed up its nightshirt along with
Its troubles and adjourned for an Easter recess.
.Worn and weary with jangling over taxation
the members are seeking rest, and perhaps
guidance, in their old home towns. During the
week agreement was like Finnegan: "on again,
pff again, gone again.' The great problem was
how to jump from one flying trapeze to an
other. Congressmen, who are agile in acrobat
Is, couldn't get together on the correct proced
ure. How to switch from credit to cash and
carry . on : taxes was the ' sticker. All seemed
agreed on the wisdom of the switch; but they
couldn't agree on what to do with the tax lia
bility of citizens for 1942: to forgive 75 or
,50 or none at all. ;
One representative, Clare Boothe Luce, whose
office, by the way, is next to Oregon's Harris
Ellsworth's, has already been home and made
a speech. : With characteristic Luce lucidity or
acidity she laid out the way Washington runs
the war for the benefit of her Connecticut con
stituents. Relating the failure" and delinquen
cies of the war administration she queried: "Is
not some one in authority fighting a lazy man's
war, a stupid man's war, a soft war at the ex
pense of our sons' lives and our nation?". Well,
if Clare ran it, it would not be a "man's war";
and if surely would not be stupid. j
Mrs. Luce" declared it was time to wage m
hard war", add put her finger on taxation:
There is no more important war biU than a
total tax bill, adding that to control inflation:
'we must bring out a tax bill adjusted not to
people's wants but to their actual needs; those
who can afford it, the well-to-do and the rich,
must be taxed almost to the point of constitu
tional confiscation," She further stated that if
It became necessary to draft labor "we must
also devise a bill to draft all capital, profits and
plants." . y '
Mrs. Luce's address; was perhaps too strong
for this moment. But she is right in this, that
we are not waging a "hard war" where one Is
needed. I Instead of talking ; about ! forgiving
taxes congress should be spending its time fig
uring how to incrase the income from taxation.
While Britain collects half its budget in taxes,
our country skids along on only 30 per cent,
with talk about forgiving, chunks of that. The
Idea of a withholding tax is sound, but this is
no time to talk about lightening the tax load
the people must bear;
Petroleum Reserves
Wildcatting, the drilling of wells to locate
new oil fields, has declined during the war pe
riod. Well drilling for oil declined 40 per cent
in 1942. Petroleum -production tapered off
slightly that year, but war demands continue
enormous, and whenever gas and tire rationing
Is relaxed demand for gas and oil win imme
diately expand. ? j ;
According to a study in Business .Week our
oil reserves are estimated at 20 billion barrels,
which at present rates of consumption would
last only 16 years. But with peace we will sea
a revival of exploration which usually results
in opening new fields and adding to known re
serves. There is constant improvement in re
fining processes so that higher octane gas is
being produced. The Socony company is now
announcing new inventions In refining which
give a gas with far higher octane than at pres
ent. This, it is claimed, t will "greatly increase
the value of gasoline in terms of energy. The
increase in engine efficiency, the cutting down
of weight through greater use of light metals
will also provide more miles per gallon of gas
oline. Thus the life of our known reserves of
petroleum' may he extended, f j ;
Finally the erection of all the alcohol plants
for manufacture of styrene- and butadiene lor
use in the manufacture of synthetic rubber may
find their post-war use in manufacture of alco
hol for mixing with gasoline for use in internal
combustion engines. In fact this might be the
solution of the rubber problem: using the alco
hol for fuel instead of tires and going back to
the purchase of rubber from foreign countries.
This would hold the alcohol plants in reserve
for rubber use too. : j m .'
So, while-the country should not . neglect its
petroleum resources and should extend its drill
ing as quickly as-possible under priority; and,
price restrictions, still the prospect is not unduly
alarming. It is recalled that in the past many
warnings have been given of declining oil re
serves, yet each five-year, period has -seen an
expansion of reserves, in spite of increased con
sumption. This cannot go on forever, for pe
troleum is an exhaustible resource. But long
before that occurs other fuels will be provided '
in quantity to take the, place of gasoline. Lubri
cants, well, that is another matter. T - ...
Short Law Crop ;
Only 18 will take state bar examinations in
June, according to the announcement of Arthur
S. Benson, clerk of the state supreme court.
The usual run is well over 100, though last year
only 50 wrote. i ' " -
This interlude of a short crop of law school
graduates will be hailed as a boon by many.
The truth , is that there have been too many
lawyers for the volume of business to be han
dled. In consequence many had to shift to other
occupations though their legal .training was
probably of value therev And the assertion has
been - made by those - interested in improving
professional standards that the -overcrowding
of the profession results in violation of ethics

the profession. putting the corners' is encour

' back large supplies to consumer channels. Appar
ently, the over-buying was not in any one line, but
in eggs, dairy products, meats, vegetables, canned
foods and now potatoes (too many were dehydrat
ed). ; ) ; K - i
Local newspapers a few days back carried an
Item urging servicemen to avoid public restaurants
and to eat in camps where there is plenty of food.
Somehow these things happen in various phases
of the war effort day after day and no one is ever
held responsible. So far, the war has been con
ducted without placing of responsibility.
No one was held responsible for Pearl Harbor,
and apparently no one has been held responsible
for anything since then.
: It is true, the commissary departments for the
armed services should err on the side of getting too
much for the men, rather than too little, and we at
home must accept what is left, without complaint.
But waste of food by anyone, including the armed
services is disastrously detrimental to the war ef
fort, and should be exposed rather than censored.
If the average man makes a mistake in his in
come tax return, he will find how important the
government regards even a minor slip. ; This man
" cannot be allowed to feel that generals and admir
als are immune to a similar responsibility for their
errors, in more vital matters. i V ! ; .
Fighting, government, and civilian morale will
deteriorate if a complacent and benevolent attitude
toward inefficiencr continues to be maintained. -
The defference between the Keynes British plan
and the White American plan for financially inter
nationalizing the post-war world were omitted In
a recent column for purposes of simplification. But
there are differences vast ones. 1" f -
Shrewd Keynes has presented a tricky method
of instituting the international board of directors
which is to run the international money world.
Instead of having membership on the board divid
ed according to the amount of money put up by
each of the nations, he would allocate these mighty
seats on the basis of foreign trade handled by each
nation in the three pre-war years. I '
Of course, this would give Britain complete con
trol. The British, on their little island, are almost
entirely an international trading nation. Their
dollar volume of international shipping is much
greater than ours. ; r J
Thus, the British proposed to sain control, not
only of the stabilization of international currencies, '
but they would also even be able to devalue the
dollar and up the value of the pound. They could
impose penalties on any non-subscribing : nation,
could borrow money from our federal reserve bank,
and generally lay a heavy hand upon the fiscal -affairs
of the United States. , i J
Our , White plan proposed that no participating
nation avain more then 23 per cent of control on
the board, but wants us. to donate 40 per cent of
the $5,000,000,000 fund. It would let us have a veto
power on many important issues by requiring a
Xeur-firths vote from the board of directors. ,
Keynes, similarly, is toying with us on the gold
aspects of the plan. It is dear that the smaller na
tions could put op as little as 5 per cent of their do
nation in gold, making 95 per cent of their con
tribution to the fund in their more doubtful cur
rencies and bonds. Obviously, Keynes proposes to
use gold, even in this small way, only for two good
, British reasons: ; - ? ;
(1) London investors own most of "the stock of
the gold mines in the world in Africa, Australia,
Canada and elsewhere, and (2) the United States
has clung to gold, and even a minor use of it would
make any financial scheme primarily attractive to
us. ; ' f : ':' -.. -i - ; - ,. ' ;'" V
Obviously, Lord Keynes has done more than pro
pose a simple utilitarian method of stabilizing in
ternational exchange. He has concocted a skillful
device for British financial controLf

WASHINGTON, April 21 The charge has been
made in the. press that much of the housewife's

due to government over-buying and waste of foods.'

It's ; true. Competent : food
authorities, outside the govern

Senator Defends Law .
To the Editor: 1
In your paper of April 17th I
read an account of the talk made
by Senator Lamport before the
Realtor Board. He refers de
spairingly to, the Community
Property law. The bill for thig
law in the legislature was spon
sored by me, and I feel I should
answer his remarks, and Inci
dentally, tell the whole truth
bout the measure.
I had this bill prepared for.
three reasons, aU of which were :
important Only one point was
mentioned by Senator Lamport.
Here is an explanation of the
three points: ' -'
1st: The most important pur
pose and result of this law is
to place Oregon on an equality
with Washington, Idaho. Neva-
- da arid California; those states
which entirely surround Ore- '
gon. This arrangement will en
courage ' our wealthy ; Oregon
ians to remain here where they .
made their fortunes. Of course, '
In due time under this arrange
ment, their - inheritance taxes
win automatically come to Ore
gon.' - 2nd: 'This law win place the
women in Oregon in the posi
tion regarding property which
they rightfully should be- in.
Oregon is proud of ner women,
'.and this , law- is cencrete evi
dence oi that pride.
3rd: As a result of this law .
the citizens of Oregon and aU
of her bordering staler win be .
placed in exactly the same po
sition regarding federal ' income
taxes. This, is' Just and right, .
and is as it should be in the
ordinary ceurse of business af
fairs, and is ust good common
- horse sense.
Oregon has always been first
In national duty compared to
other states in competitive en
deavor. It seems silly to talk of
Oregon trying to avoid taxes.
We will gladly pay whatever
our government asks, : but - our
payments . in common justice to
our citizens must be comparable
with the neighboring states.
Senator Lamport seems, to en
joy seeing people pay taxes. He
deplores the placing of our In
come tax payers on a par with
the citizens ' of our neighboring
states, and he voted against the
Community Property law. . By
the same token he apparently
wishes to see even our old age
pensioners pay sales taxes, as
he voted for a sales tax law. X,
like most Oregonians, have had
to work hard for what property,
and income I have been able to
secure, and X am endeavoring
to preserve I and make It as
easy and equitable as possible
for Oregonians to earn a living
and pay their taxes.
. Yours very truly.
Lew Wallace,
State Senator,
... Portland.

, Bert Sedgwick, better known

Mrs. W. A. Mwrites that
she has a daphne which is not
1 doing so weH. Says the ground
- Is hard and cracking around it.
It is on the north side of the
house. ' - ' j ' ,
Answer: 1 1 rather believe it
is a soil condition. Daphnes like
v a well drained, in fact an al
most perfectly drained, soil. A
' peaty or very sandy soil is best.
Daphnes are very short lived
"In heavy clay, soggy soil.
.They thrive best in full sun. I
would move the daphne I to a
southern .exposure if possible.
: See to it that the soil is loose
and friable.. If it is very heavy,
" add some peat or sand to the
soiL When you replant it and
this can be done at any time
now, plant it just a trifle deeper
than it has been growing, pro
vided that it was not too deeply
planted In the beginning. Hum
us Is good for the daphne. I
had to move mine three times
before II found a good spot for
it. After it is once established
in a suitable location it does
very well. Give it a few soak
ings during the very driest part
of the summer. As a rule, this
. daphne ta- which you refer Is
not injured by frost. !
- Mrsw S. P- from your des
cription of the shrub, I would
guess that it was one of the
deutzias but this Is only a
r guess. Send, me a little branch
of it preferably with flowers,
and perhaps I can better identi
fy It
R. O. The red bud Is a love
ly tree and will eventually
bloom. Don't get discouraged. It
took mine five years after it
was planted. ; However, I have
been told of some which bloom
ed in , tw-or. three years. But
It is Worth waiting for even
if it does take five years.
