WHO SHALL ENTER: Not
every one that suith umo me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven: but he that
doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven. Matthew
7: 21.
OUR POSITION RIGHT
News reports from Salem concern
ins the suggestions made for financ
ing the 1925 fair and the attitude
of the legislators in respect to them
clearly indicate the correctness of
the position taken by The Bulletin
on the question.
When we first discussed the ques
tion we said that we could not sup
port the tax plan unless other state
taxes were reduced so that the total
amount paid would be no greater
than at present. In the absence of
a provision for any such assurance
there was nothing to do but oppose
the tax. That this is the view of the
people of the state at large the up
state counties as opposed to the
Portland boomers is evident in the
agreement signed by a majority of
the representatives not to vote for
a property tax for the fair. These
men know that the sentiment back
home is against any Increase in tax
ation and they have taken action that
will effectually prevent it.
The plan proposed by' Secretary
of State Kozer to eliminate items
from the present state budget in a
sufficient amount to provide the
necessary $3,000,000 carries out the
idea of raising the money without
additional taxation. Mr. Kozer would
cut.$50,000 here, $100,000 there and
more somewhere else and then de
vote these funds to the fair. If this
were done there would be no increase
in the state tax and a considerable
body 5f objection would be removed.
In this plan we also find confir
mation of our statement that the Ore
gonian was wrong when it said that
because of the six per cent limitation
law no tax could be levied without
a vote of the people. The Kozer plan
contemplates exactly what we said
was possible, that is, the levy of a
tax without reference to the people
and the seeing to It thereafter that
other expenditures were reduced so
that the six per cent limit was not
passed.

Superfluous War
Abolish war! It's useless stuff, designed by
monarchs rattled ; our cars can kill us fast enough
we don't need hosts embattled. War's such an
old and outworn means of death it makes us
snicker; our touring cars and limousines can do
the job much quicker. War kills its legions while
it lasts, but when it is suspended, with all its smoke
and deadly blasts, the butchery is ended. The
veterans forget their scars, and turn to sane en
deavor; but when we come to motor cars, the blood
flows on forever.- If populations are too thick, the
figures growing taller, there always is the speeding
hick to make the census smaller. The roadster and
the limousine are killing people daily; we pile the
bodies on the green, and cry our "Willow-waly !"
The touring car and large sedan around the town'
are racing, and every hour another man is ruined
by a casing. The smiling maid, the gaffer gray,
upon the highways hilly are run down by the brisk
coupe that knocks the speed laws silly. Abolish
Mars! And on his brow let all his cheap wreaths
wither, for we have deadly engines now that knock
him yon and thither.
NAME OF CHIEF
GIVEN TO LAKE
(Continued from Page 1.)
moment whether to go on, or encamp
at this place. The miry ground in
the neighborhood of the lake did not
allow us to examine the water con
veniently, and, being now on the bor
ders of a desert country, we were
moving cautiously. It was, however,
still early iu the day, and I continued
on, trusting either that the water
would be drinkable, or that we should
find some little spring from the hill
side. We were following an Indian
trail which led along the steep rocky
precipice; a black ridge along the
western shore holding out no pros
pect whatever. The white efflores
censes which lined the shore like
a bank of snow, and the disagreeable
odor which filled the air as soon as
we came near, informed us too plain
ly that the water belonged to one
of those fetid salt lakes which are
common In this region. We contin
ued until late in tho evening to work
along the rocky shore, but, as often
afterwards, the dry inhospitable rock
deceived us; and, halting on the lake.
we kindled up fires to guide those
who were straggling along behind.
We tried the water, but It was Impos
sible to drink it, and most of the
people lay down tonight without eat
ing; but some of us, who bad always
a great reluctance to close the day
without supper, dug holes along the
shore, and obtained water, which, be
ing filtered, was sufficiently palat
able to be used, hut still retained
much of its nauseating taste. There
was very little grass for tho animals,
the shore being lined with a luxuri
ant growth of chenopodiaceous
shrubs, which burned with a quick
Dright name, and made our fire
wood. The next morning we had scarcely
travelled two hours along the c::ore
when we reached a place where the
mountains made a bay, leaving at
their feet a low bottom around the
lake. Here we found numerotta hill
ocks covered with rushes, in the
midst of which were deep holes, or
springs, of pure water; and the bot
tom was covered with grass which,
although of a salt and unwholesome
quality, and mixed with saline ef
florescences, was still abundant, and
made a good halting place to recruit
our animals; and we accordingly
camped here for the remainder of the
day. I rode ahead several milos to
ascertain if there was any appearance
of a water course entering the lake;
but found none, the hills preserving
their dry character, and the shore of
the lake sprinkled with the same
white powdery substance, and cover
ed with the biiio Bhrubs. There
were flocks of ducks on tho lake, and
frequent tracks of Indiana along tho
shore, where the grass hud been re
cently burnt by their fires.
We ascended the bordering nioun
tuin, in order to obtain a moro per
feet view of the lake in sketching Its
figure; hills sweep entirely around Its
basin, from which the waters have
no outlet.
