''Liberal" States and the Sales Tax
Washington state, which voted four times for
Roosevelt and this year for Harry Truman,
which has elected democrats to state and con
gressional offices most of the time since 1930,
and whose legislature has been democratic most
of the time in that period, is often listed by poli
tical writers as a "liberal" state. Poor Oregon,
"with a solid republican delegation in congress,
with its legislature republican most of the time
and the board of control too, is given a conser
vative label by the same gentry.
If we were to analyze the tax structures of the
two states, however, the conclusion would be
different. Washington has a 40-mill limit on
property taxes which gives property owners a
real break. It has no income tax, and it does have
a sales tax which is branded by all liberals as
regressive. California, another "liberal'' state,
has all the taxes.
Oregon, on the other hand, puts a limit only
on the rate of increase in property taxes, rejects
the sales tax and impose an income tax.
Washington state has had an interim commit
tee of the legislature studying its taxing system.
Its report says that the state's tax structure is
fundamentally sound and major changes in it
re neither necessary or desired." However,
three democrats signed a minority report rec
ommending "consideration" of an income tax
but none proposed a repeal of the sales tax.
In theory, an income tax is more equitable
than a sales tax, but the latter is lush in yield
ing revenues, especially in boom times. And
when a government gets hold of a productive
tax it is reluctant to let go. It will rationalize
as to its equity rather than lose the revenues.
States which voted for the new deal and for the
new new deal are not so conscientious in devo
tion to their political theory as to throw their
sales taxes out the window.
Steelmakers' Lack of Faith
Back in the dark days of the depression new
dealers talked glibly and at length about the
overbuilt condition of the country's industries.
Factories had over-expanded during boom days.
Too much money had been withheld from spend
ing and reinvested in plant.
The theory was that the country had reached
plateau of economic development. Unemploy-1
ment would be more or less chronic. This was a
natural result of the closing of the frontier, the
ending of the period when men could push out
nd take up homesteads and back out a liveli
hood. The remedy, according to the new deal
economists, was for government to tax ande
spend. Labored books were written to prove this
theory.
Some of us benighted conservatives question
ed this theory. We pointed out that according to
tProf. F. J. Turner the frontier had virtually
closed in 1890, but our economic development
had not stopped. New frontiers beckoned in in
dustry, through inventions, through scientific
discoveries. America, relatively young, had not

' By Relman Morin
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-UP)-A
Japanese newspaperman, one
of the first to visit this country
since the war, has been giving
me his view of the most import
ant political influence in the far
east. in the immediate future.
He says it will be the women
of Japan.
It's an interesting idea. The
Japanese woman, patient, gentle,
supremely graceful and charm
ing, was among the world's most
underprivileged being under the
old system. She had no legal
rights whatever. She could be
divorced simply by a three-sen-ten
cememo from her husband.
There were no provisions for
alimony to protect her.
Having been divorced, her
name would be erased from her
husband's family book. Her own
family might or might not
take her back.
She had no legal rights to her
own children and, when di
vorced, the husband usually re
tained custody of them
Politically, she was a complete
zero. She had no vote and it
was considered immodest for her
even to express an opinion on
politics.
The war and the occupation
policies, according to' my friend,
have ripped all this to pieces.
The whole social, legal and poli
tical system is changing, he
says.
Japanese girls are demanding
the right to marry men of their
own choosing, discarding the old
pattern of the "arranged" mar
riage. They have the vote now.
A feminist movement has be
gun, directed toward obtaining
something close to equality with
men in wages and working con
ditions. Politically, the newspaperman
said, the Japanese women are
"very conservative."
If his analysis is corrent, and
if this trend continues, it is
freighted with vpry much great
er importance than you mi?ht
think. It seems to me that the
United States is going to need
Jap'r-n, not so much as a poten
tial military base nor as an ex

We can't accuse the Portland Oregonian of
the editorial vice of "Alfghanistanism" flaying
remote evils. It has lately waged and won the
battle to shut down the city's auto testing sta
tion; and acclaims a victory for Joe Pungle.
Maybe, after this experience, the Ogn will flex
its biceps on other evils of city and state.
There is much talk of increasing the salaries
of cabinet officers and other top officials of the
federal government, including the president and
vice president. To republicans though the in

Key to Japanese Politics
port market, but as a political
outpost in the orient.
The events in China, as they
are unfolding today, would ap
pear to accentuate ? this need.
As a far eastern bulkhead
against communism, the Japa
nese probably could offset the
influence of a communist China.
But the whole .Pacific war
would have been lost, and the
situation rendered i much more
dangerous than it was before
1941, if Japan should fall back
into the hands of its militarists
or, like China, go communist.
My friend, the newspaperman,
said the Japanese communist
party today numbers some 150,
000, that it is well organized
and well led and the com
munist parties always are and
that it could easily assume the
dominant role.
Hence, the importance of the
new factor that has appeared,
the "very conservative' Japa
nese woman.

TALES OF MY PEOPLE, by
Sholem Asch (Putnam's; $3)
Half of this book consists of
"The Little Town," the short
novel said to have established
Asch's reputation iri Europe and
good enough to establish a repu
tation for anyone anywhere, and
the other half is 10 short stories;
nine of the 11 pieces, including
the novelette, are new to Eng
lish readers.
Some of the short stories are
about betrothal, marriage and
divorce in pre-war Jewish com
munities in eastern Europe, and
the rest are about the unspeak
able atrocities inflicted on the
author's people by the Nazis, a
couple of them almost too true,
of a truth so horrible that the
creative imagination is helpless
before the brutal facts.
It is "The Little Town" which
I read with the greatest delight.
We follow a wayfarer, along a
linden-lined, muddy road into
the village; "whatever we see
and whatever we hear" make up
the body of the tale, and we

come to a dead end, but would again pick up
its tools and press forward.
We revert to this record because the present
generation of new dealers sings a different tune.
For example, Assistant Secretary of the Interior
C. Girard Davidson, in Spokane recently, sharp
ly criticized the steel companies for their slow
ness in expanding plant capacity. He said that
expansion plans of U. S. Steel fall far short of
meeting needs, totaling only three million tons
over a three-year period as against our 10 mil
lion ton shortage each year. Of the industry
leaders, he said:
These men of little faith are in constant dread
of ;a depression which might leave them with 'too
much' steel."
Public interest, said Davidson, requires that
we take every possible step to get the expanded
capacity we need. If the companies cannot raise
the capital required the RFC should be permit
ted to loan them money.
Davidson has had charge of the scheme for
voluntary allocation of steel, so is familiar with
how far short steel production is. He probably
has got quite disgusted with the steelmakers
for their resistance to appeals of government
officials for more production and for govern
ment allocations.
This time we agree with Davidson in his criti
cism of the steel companies. Their owners have
been exceedingly conservative in their expan
sion programs. This is quite in contrast with the
oil industry which has been very aggressiye in
carrying out expansion policies. The steelmak
eri missed badly in their prediction that supply
would catch up with demand now they are
making no promises in that direction.
It is true that construction costs are very high
but they could be absorbed without much dis
tress because the older plants have been heavily
depreciated.
We need faith in good times a's in bad. A grow
ing population with improving standards of liv
ing calls for more products. Prudent expansion
is warranted in steel as in other lines of endeavor.
)r. Louis A. Wood of the University of Ore
gon, one-time democratic candidate for congress
in a letter to a newspaper, is curious about
Senator Morse's "constitutional liberals." He in
quires if there are any, or many "unconstitu
tional liberals." Looks as though we might have
a seminar in semantics as well as politics.
There was a feeble little politico-social
movement on behalf
of the women there before the
war, led by a remarkable lady,
the Baroness Shidzue Ishimoto.
Her influence, even against the
opposition of the militarists, was
very great. She might have
wrought tremendous changes if
the tide of fascism had not been
running so strongly in the other
direction.
But her experience neverthe
less gives a clue to the courage,
energy and interest that Japa
nese women actually have in
these problems. Freed now from
dthe crushing weight of a mili
tarist setup, they could go very
far toward creating, in Japan,
the type of government and
society which the United States
is attempting to protect and fos
ter everywhere in the world.
The Japanese correspondent
may be right. Those women may
become a decisive factor in the
future of the orient.

It is not what might be called
a very American story; the plot
is rudimentary, it doesn't rush
to a climax, it is not packed
with thrills. But it is packed
to overflowing with homely emo
tions, with the secrets of the
heart, with the little fears and
hopes, satisfactions and frustra
tions which fill the lives of or
dinary people.

City to Restore
Park Avenue
Drainage Ditch
Salem city crews are attempting
to remedy a bad drainage system
along Park avenue which has caus
ed flooding in that area during the
recent rains-
City Manager J. L. Franzen told
Marion County Judge Grant Mur
phy that immediate steps are be
ing taken to correct the situation.
A group of Park avenue residents
protested to Judge Murphy earlier
this week that their home yards
were awash. They said the floods
resulted when a drainage ditch
running along Park avenue was
removed this fall as city crews in
stalled a water main.
Judge Murphy passed the com
plaint on to the city with the rec
ommendation that something be
done. Franzen said Friday the ditch
would be restored and drainage as
sured. Safety Held
Responsibility
Of Employers
Employers are legally respon
sible to furnish a safe place for
their employes to work and as a
result should set the pace by pro
viding adequate accident preven
tion programs, Otto R. Hartwig,
Crown - Zellerbach Corporation,
declared at the closing session of
the Oregon Safety conference Fri
day. "Labor looks to the employer to
do this." Hartwig said, "and is
willing to take progressive steps
to do his part."
The conference was held under
the direction of the accident pre
vention division of the state indus
trial accident commission.
The value of using pictures in
accident prevention work also re
ceived attention of the confer
ence. It was announced that the
accident commission has slides
and motion pictures available to
all concerns under the workmens
compensation law.
Delegates gathered in separate
groups to discuss mutual prob
lems in logging, sawmilling. con
struction, public utilities and can
neries.
The attendance, numbering more
than 275 delegates from several
western states and British Colum
bia, broke all previous records.
Nearly every type of industry in
the northwest was represented.
