A. NEWSPAPER IB A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITT. THE SETTDT SEASON DRAWS NIGH TTATE you noticed the new-gold glum In the iun light when the ion shines, and It ha been Shining the laat day or 10? Bar yoa noticed. looking down the street, the new bright-green where ipring grsjt ti pushing np through the brown patches' made by the December cold spell t Est 70a noticed. It 70a stand on a hillside, and look ont across the vailey. the new purples and larenderf and yellows which are beginning to how In the tree tops? Al Cook was In the other day and be has It figured ont that It Is Just tS days till flthin' sea son. AJax McGurk Is even more optimistic. He geys it is time (or the settln' season to start AJax Is probably our most prominent patron of "settln which he claims Is by far the noblest of the lost arts. The great advantage of settln', according to Ajax ts Its great healthfulness and extreme low cost. It can be practiced "solo" or by big or little groups, It can be done Indoors or outdoors, but AJax thinks outdoors Is best For outdoor, settln', one seeds only a touch of bright sunshine and a patch of dry grass or a log or a box. One needs no equip- taent although some of the experts find It enoy ble to have the company of a long whlttlln' stick sad a good sharp pocket knife. Others like to have good pipe. There are no memberships or greens fees as In golf and" no strain and fuss as In bridge. Tou Just "set" and 70a watch a distant sunshower building rainbows on the Cob org hills. There Is no role against thinking, but the best setters advise against It. Ton just watch the sbiftln' of light and shadow and maybe 70a hear the river tumbling round the bend and perhaps after a time 70a become aware of an interesting bug or bird. It Is McGurk's contention that a world wide revival of settln' could do more to save the world than technocracy. There would have to be "a law, of course to prescribe settln' for all persons over it, espedslly millionaires. As part of the program for world peace, settln' would be msde one of the stoat Important features of the Olympic games, with a "decathlon" of settln', whlttlln', wbistlln', ehucklin', and the kindred arts for the elder states men. Anyhow, with the grass showing green, the settln' season Is at hand and there Is hope In the world. SUGGESTIONS FOR LEGISLATORS T EOISXJITORS at Salem who are wrestling with the sore problems of public debt and taxation Blight find some good Ideas in an article In the esrrent "Scribners" on "No Taxes To Pay." Tola discussion shows that there Is a vast body M "tax dodgers" but It la not made np, as we com an only suppose, of the "lousy rich." It is msde up vainly of "70a and me," If 70a want to put it that way. Millions of people, unless they happen to have Invested In real estate, find It possible to get their Incomes exempted from all tax. One very large group with "no taxes to pay" Is composed of employes of federal and state govern ments. In nearly every state there are scores of classes enjoying special exemptions, partial or complete, according to their occupations, affilia tions, record of service. In some of the older states the amount of tax tree valuation held by eleemosynary institutions rats great bole In returns. The main trouble however la the failure of most states to make In come taxes really apply. A man with $2,000 to $5,000 annual Income can find any number of al lowances which let htm partially or completely out. It might be a good Idea to examine Oregon'a situation very carefully to see Just where It "leaks." A sales tax may be a temporary solution of the problem, but. any sales tax Is unscientific In ad dition to disturbing business. It has the more seri ous disadvantage that the taxpayer Is plucked while Unconscious. How many thousands In Oregon feel no con scious obligation to government from which they expect everything from public aafety to the latest hints on "pink toothbrush!" t) AN ESTIMATE OF TECHNOCRACY JOBODY can be quite sure he really understands the meaning of that Big Idea which has lately flashed across the news horlion under the name Technocracy." As we understand It, the thing Is sn engineer's dream of Utopia. Some engineers out of work and some stilt working, but suffering like the rest of us from doprcaslon have begun to turn sway from their Big Business gods and tinker with politics and philosophy. The man, Howard Scott, who soems to be the htet of the tribe la a recognisable type, a dllletant with some engineering experience and training, but touch more of the Greenwich Village background of peakeaay culture. The movement derives much snore weight from the friendly Interest of various practicing scientists such at Tolman of California Tech. Basset Jones, of New York, and Huhbert of Columbia. The "Technocrats." so called, are attempting to make "an energy surrey of North America." That Idea la not entirely new. Srlentlata have long recognised the need of a common denominator to measure the work of both man and machine In pro duction. Most of the figures so far cited by Scott sre probably UTTEItLY UNRELIABLE. How could they be otherwise? How could an accurate and con clusive survey of this nature be made without the employment of s large and specially trained force. Working on the ground In each Industry? The speculations of the "Technocrats" In their off hours provide the big thrill. Could man master himself and the machine by making an authentic "Energy Surrey," a master chartT Could he create paradise where by a few days work In each year tinder scientific direction he could service all human want snd the rest of the time be free? Could money, as we know it, fc eboltthed and "energy equivalents" be made the bnsls of human reward? Her we have communism all spruced up in ew dress of the technical lingo, so dnar to the aebJe-mJd4 Asistkaji nublio. U tioscow te al rot d this sew front for the doctrines of Lenin and Marx, Moscow Is getting very smart. We don't give Moscow credit for being that smart. "Technocracy," a native American product Just as much aa the mystic proletarian communism belongs peculiarly to Russia. A dictatorship of engineers and scientist where the Russians bare the dictatorship of the proletar iat! Let's see, just about 400 years before Christ wss born, Socrates, greatest of the Greeks dreamed his dictatorship of the philosophers. Well, there Is no harm In dreaming, and (let us remember, please) In this country, so far, no law agin' It. But "Technocracy" would encounter all of the difficul ties encountered by every social and political ad vance including the great Roman and British and American experiments with republican government difficulties wblch are rooted deep in human Instincts and habits. Resistance of the Inherently conservative farm population has nearly wrecked the Russian experi ment time and again. Picture a bright May morn ing with the "Technocrats" telling the American farmers to take their milk and butter and eggs and wheat to town as usual and eventually Uncle Sam will mall "energy certificates" good for boot and shoes, overcoat, movies and gas. Just how long will the vast population centers eat? Over the centuries we are probably drifting toward government which will realise something of the dreams of Socrates and Marx and Scott and maybs Jesus Christ . The statesmen of the millen turn will be not only scientist and philosophers, but practical aalnta and they will be supported by a democracy which will know a saint when It sees one. (Or la that counting on too much?) For the present, 'Technocracy" Is going to be useful only because It stimulates a little unaccustomed thought And as often hsppens In the meandering of dreamers, there la one valid idea In the whole spec ulation. A factual surrey of human and material resources, conducted by genuine scientist (not Mr. Scott) over s period of years could be of tremendous help In bringing order out of chaos in Industry and government But many a glor ious Oregon spring will come before the Millenium dawn on the Cascade peaks. Anyhow, that's can didly what we think. A RED CROSS APPEAL fSZ of the most perplexing problems which con- fronts the very limited staff of the Red Crosa during the depression emergency Is what to do 1th the unfortunate children whose homes hsve been wrecked by depression troubles. Lot of peo ple adopt small babies (you'd be surprised right here In Eugene) but not many want older children. Right now Miss Mary Annin Is wonderlnx what to do with two nice kids, both about li, one a boy, the other a girl, from different families. Both fam ilies hare been demoralised by hardship. The youngsters also have "lost their grip." It's tough to hold your own In school when it's been a Ion time since porkchops and when your clothes are Just one grand patch. Send 'em to some home? The limited homes In Oregon are Just about full up. Lane county la al most too poor to pay the rates, anyhow. So there you are. Miss Annin can save the taxpayers some money if she can find some real patriot. 8ha doesn't promise It's easy to train other people's badly trained youngsters, but she thinks these two are worth the effort Patriots step up! CARBON MOUNTAIN ON SPREE JJOW little we really know about the earth we are permitted to Inhabit la Illustrated In the strange stories that are coming out of Colorado about the weird behavior of a hump called Carbon mountain. Without anything which can be Identi fied aa a genuine earthquake or earth slip, the vast mountain Is going to pieces. Great aectlons of base rock with all the surface encrustations of soil and forest and underbrush are being heaved over Into deep canyons which are opening up. ueoiogists "guess" that a huge vein of coal aun- posed to be under the mountain Is on fire. They figure the disturbances come from pent up super heated combustion gas. Some of them, from the Colorado state university are risking their lives trying to find out Why? "Scientist are Juat made that way. If they can get Carbon mountains sec rets It may be the key to other aecrets. What do we know about Oregon's mountains? Precious little. It used to be the habit to ask the legislature tor funds for a geologic survey. Not this year? Right! But some day well find out.

DEPLORES CHARITY QOTTAGE GROVE, Ore., (To the Editor) May I use your vslued colnmns to express my Indignation st the methods used in relieving the needy in this county. Yesterday I appesred at the county court house to try and obtain relief for an aged couple, who for the firat time in their lives were compelled to ssk for aid. Upon my arrival at the court house I was informed thst the county relief funds had been placed at the disposal of the Red Cross agenry which was upstairs. Here I found a long line of human misery, some of them mothers with tiny babes In their arms sitting patiently on a hard bench awaiting their turn to be examined to (I pre sume) make sure thst they srtuslly were hungry. After wsiting there for sn hour It sadly dawned on me that some of these unfortunates on the tail end of the line would snrely be compelled to go home and try their lurk some other day. And goodness only knows how many miles some of them wslked to ret there. This is not necessarily an Indict ment sgainst the Red Cross. But It it a sweeping indirtment acsinst our se rial and economic system, which sl lows a few money lords to dictate to ns to the extent that we dole out bil lions to their banks and railroads while our working men are denied the riuht to make an honest living with the result that their families sre forced to stsnd In line for hours st s time. Now Mr. Editor I am not mslietons but sometimes I find myself wishing that some government heads would be forced to take their place at the tail end of one of those lines with the full knowledce thst their loved ones were depending on tbe results. And since we have taken It upon onrselres to rare for the needv. for God's sake let us do It In s humsn wsy. Thsnk you. JAMES A. SCOTT. Cheer up!

(To the Editor) I note that recently the doctors have been spending a lot of money in telling what a wonderful bunch of fellows they are. Before the World war I could go to most sny doctor snd get a few words written in Greek or lAtin for ."iO cents, hut aa soon as the war end ed, and all during the war 1 wss compelled to pay them ti for the same number of word in Greek er ltin. and ever elne the war I have been paying them the tame t2 for the same Latin and Greek wonis. Is It possible that the doctors do not know thst the wsr has ended yet! All the farmers and business men have found It out lone ago. If you don't believe It. just ask them. Alto 1 notice that no doctor hat yet gone Into bankruptcy. But tt least three-fourths of the farmert are shout resdy for that now. And also according to their ads these doc tors sre sil wool snd yard wide. I will state a conversation thst took plsce recently In Eugene be tween t party snd 1 doctor, who Wat drtwinc tome of his pay from tht taxpayers, A wife snd mother wa very sick. They bad no phone, so the husband went over to s neighbor, and asked her to call a doctor, which she did. "Ir. Mrs. it ery tick snd the Uvea it ttreeL Can yon come st ence?" ARGUES WITH ALLEY T7UC,F..E, Ore. (To the Editor) 1 In the article by James Allev. find some statements that I do not wish to go nnrhsllenged. Quoting from the article It read "No one seems to have any money this year, and yet It seema to me as never before have people made preparation to look out for their fenowman. Teare en earth, good will to man' hat ceased to be a hollow phrase." Now If that statement were true, there would he no reuse for me to write this article, hit the facta are that it is not trne for practically no preparation have been made up to the pretent time, which holds out to the human race even a remote poe tibillty of 'Teare on esrth good will to men." There sre two things necessary before msnklnd rsn expert to enjoy tbe benefits of fhtt desirable ttate. First, the religion of mankind nut b humanised, snd Instead of wor shipping s myth In the tky while poshing hit fellowman In the gutter, man must center his worship on higher idesls with grester benefit to humsnity, snd let the Gods take care of themselves they don't need his help anyway. Second, we must humtnize our economic system to the point where it is rational and humans, now this Is not contrary to Jesus Christ's philosophy of life aa advocated by Mr. Alley, but a philosophy of life, snd the worship of a philosopher are two different things, it is one thing to accept tbe person of Jesus Christ as the savior of men, and quite an other thing to accept the psychology of Jesus as a constructive rule of Ufa, and thst is where I drew the line on the article in question. Mr. Alley says, take your family and go to church, any church where Christ is honored as ths "Son of God," snd virgin born savior of the world, and worship him for all the blessings of life that you now enjoy, you owe it to Almighty God," to your fsmily, to your country, to yourself. Now, I do not doubt the sincerity of the writer, but 1932 years of thst simple remedy bat proven it to be not only a rank failure, but also shsmsful and hollow mockery, for in all those ytsrs aa well as the unnumbsred years before, there hss bsen wsrs of conquest aggression and extinction, human slavery, worn an subordinstion. cruel snd heart less rulers, Inhumsn competition, rabid rich and miserable poor, and after all those centuries of misery snd crime, of war and massacre, of preaching and praying, of blustering and blowing, of blood and teara we have nothing better to show for such tesching than a rotten past, a shame ful present and a dark future unless we get out of the rut of orthodoxy snd adjust onr economic system to take care of its victims, for there are lust two forces which shape the destiny of men and nations, namely The religious and political forces and until they are rationalized and hu manized, there will be no "Peace on earth good will to men." If we wish to profit by sn up wsrd trend of humanity, we must counteract the evils which beset us with that which is good snd true, for the hope of msnkind does not rest with our glorification and en joyment of a mysterious God. but depends entirely upon our willingness to sbide by natural law, for the perfecting of the relations that exist between man and man. is the highest service msn could perform for sny God.
