Edoitrial Comment
EQ11NOCTIAL STORMS
There is a prejudice among weathermen against speaking of
storms which come at this season of th year as equinoctial storms.
Their reasoning ia simple. Th equinox is a matter of astronomical
movements, th relative positions of the earth and th sun. Storms
are the result of atmospheric conditions, not of astronomical rela
tionships. Therefore, the name "equinoctial atorm" is ruled out.
But it Just happens that weather disturbances ar th rule
rather than th exception at this time of year. Things ar happen
ing to th atmosphere. Summer is ending; autumn is beginning.
Long, not days ar ended in our northern hemisphere. Th earth
Is beginning to cool off, up her, and ther is a new movement of
the air. It also happens that these changes ar related to th move
ment of the sun and the position of th earth, for if th sun wr not
moving southward, as we aay, across the: celestial equator, ther
would not be these changes in th temperature and movement of th
air currents. J
Those factors whicX make the autumn equinox also breed th
stormy conditions. Ifis a period of change, and often that change
- Is violent in its stormy nature. Th weathermen ar willing to call
them autumn storms. It Is th equinoctial tag which they reject.
Arid that seems to be In the nature of splitting a hair, for th
equinox is the time of seasonal change. Technically it is an astro
nomical phenomenon; practically it is a date, a particular time of
Ibe year. The weather at the time of the equinox tends to be un
- certain and often is stormy. In fact, it often expresses itself in an
eqiunortud storm and if that be heresy, look at ta weather re
port, then look , at the calendar., (New York Times.)

ITU President Randolph said in

: In lieu of contracts the ITU pro
poses to post its own "Conditions

To Sales Tax in

seeking .repeal of sales taxss now in effect in Connecticut and Massa

posed Oregon sates tax before Salem Rotary club Wednesday at th
Marlon hotel. I j
Lo cited an I opinion survey i
mad by th Boston Glob which
showed 71 per cent of th people
and 80 per cent of th veterans
favored repeal. While som other
states have sales taxes it has been
imposed by th4 legislatures and
not by vot oft the people, Loe
said. f
Th legislature included a now
angle In th measure to be voted
upon, when they provided a pen
alty, Lo said. If it is not approved
by th voters then another law,
now In effect, raise the income
tax rate, he said, warning his
hearers that if th lawmakers got
away with this, "next tun it may
b your business that Is affected."
Regarding th effect on th
tourist, "Lo said that while pro
ponents claimed tourists would
contribute $2,000,000 In sales tax,
most of the things the tourist
wants ar exempt including motor
