Snce we cannot reduce the divisor let us increase the dividend. That will bring the result we wish through increasing the taxable wealth of the state. . ' That we cannot reduce the divisor, to-wit the present 6tate, county and city expenditures, must be evident to any practical businessman. " ' There is not a state institution that cannot truthfully show it L hampered for lack of funds. Some of our institutions are so notoriously neglected that the thing amounts to a public scandal. Our officials are everywhere underpaid. The governor of Oregon receives a salary that a successful salesman would scorn. The attorney general labors for a remuneration that is no temp tation whatever even to the average country lawyer. In Uma tilla county our county judge during the past six years felt for t mate if his salary proved sufficient to pay for his travelling ex penses. He 'simply worked for six years without pay. Our school superintendent, who is an exceptionally capable man, is probably the lowest paid principal of the county. How are we to reduce his salary or even avoid a raise if we wish to retain tuch talent. Our assessor works for less pay than does his dep uty. The situation in Umatilla county is probably true of ' other counties in the state. -Then where does the tax reducer have any chance? It is plain that the remedy lies elsewhere. If a man's income is not sufficient to support his family the remedy u not to starve his family. He should get busy with hand or, brain or both and earn a larger income. He can usually do that if he had the gumption. The same principle applies to the state. We cannot, cut ex penses but we can increase our wealth and that will automati cally lighten the burden of the taxpayer. ; . ; . It is estimated that if we could irrigate all the land subject to reclamation by pumping in territory adjacent to the Umatilla rapids an annual crop production of $30,000,000 could be se cured from land that i3 now worse than useless. It is a blight upon the state. Why not turn that acreage to usefulness and beauty. Let Old Man Oregon stop playing Little Boy Blue and get to work. You will be surprised at the results. THE FOSTER CHILD FANTASY " : Ill' -I V' , -HH : OF particular interest to parents is the study made by Dr, Edmund S. Conklin, head of the department of psychol- ogy in the University of Oregon, of the foster child fan tasy the notion among children that they have different and greater parentage than their own. This study has just been Dublished by the University m a 20-page leaflet. Dr. Conklin sent out questionnaires and received 905 returns, 640 from juniore and seniors in eight different Oregon high schools and 264 from students of the University of Oregon. Of these, 258, 87 girls and 171 boys, recalled some experience with the fantasy. The following reasons were given by those students fcr.be- lievme they were not their parents children : Suggestions from iheir reading and observation of actual cases ; actual or sup posed mistreatment; peculiar family c:rcumstances such as pro longed absence from parents, parental disagreement, great dif ference in children's ages, or the previous marriage of one par ent; accidental causes such as the parent misunderstanding the child or the child misunderstanding the remarks of adults; activity of mind caused by being much alone or having nothing to do; growth stimulus such a3 early adolescent development and desire for the different; absence of mental or physical fam ily resemblance ; and miscellaneous causes, such as self pity, liire of elsewhere or the wild, mood, desire for older brother, vivid dream. ! . According to Dr. Conklin, a striking instance of this 'foster child fantasy" is Opal Whitely, author of the Story of Opal, who denies her parentage and claims angel parents. , President-elect Harding holds that a good navy is essential for the United States so long as armaments are fashionable. He is evidently not vastly in sympathy with the Borah idea of disarmament and that is encouraging. Uncle Sam is a good fel low but he should aiot play Quaker until all the other boys are willing to do likewise. ' - Some folk are afraid the Umatilla rapids project is too big to be handled now; the state of Washington is vigorously cham-I-ioning a project that calls for an expenditure ten times as large us our scheme calls for.
