FOR TAX
: Pending before the house committee on taxation and
revenue in the Oregon legislature is a joint resolution asking
the national congress to call a convention tor the purpose oi
proposing an amendment to the constitution limiting federal
income, gift and inheritance taxes to a maximum figure of
25 per cent. Eighteen states have already adopted the tax
limiting resolution these being, in tne orcier or adoption,
Wvnmincr. Rhode Island. Mississippi. Iowa, Maine, Massa
chusetts, Michigan, Indiana, Arkansas, Delaware, rennsyl
vania, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Alabama, Kentucky, New
Jersey and New Hampshire. We list them to show that states
of widely diverse interests have made common cause in this
matter of federal tax limitation.
The thought that leaps to one's mind when he first hears
of the proposal is that in a war emergency such a limitation
would hobble the congress. On reading the resolution it is
discovered, however, that if the country engaged in war
the congress may suspend the operation of the amendment.
The hobble is one that would operate only in peace time. Ex
perience of the years before the war began shows its need.
There have been few men who have said truer words about
the burden that taxes put on the people than has President
Roosevelt. When he first became a candidate for the presi
dency he made tax reduction and reduction in government
spending leading points in his campaign speeches. The con
stitutional amendment now proposed would help effectuate
the promises Mr. Roosevelt ha3 made.
It was demonstrated when Mellon was secretary of the
treasury that lower income tax rates resulted in increased
returns. Funds are freed for investment in industry and in
dustrial activity creates taxable income. On the other hand
few chances are taken with money if most of the earnings are
taken by taxes.
Today's taxes are virtually confiscatory in many instances
and when taken' in association with state income taxes may
amount to a larger sum than an individual's whole income.
They tend to restrict rather than enlarge the national econ
6my.. It is to be hoped that the Oregon legislature will join the
legislatures of those 18 other states in adopting this resolution.
NO PROTEST HERE
For reasons that, we believe, will be obvious to all who
have been following in this column the discussion of the
Klamath-Lake protest against the pending Shevlin-Hixon-forest
service timber exchange transaction we are reprinting
here today a news story from yesterday's Oregonian. Baker
and Morrow counties, the story makes clear, are interested in
the development of sustained yield forestry. It follows :
. Pendliiton, Keb. 5 (Special) A tlmlierland trade ot large
scope and Involving both privately owned lands and national
forest timber, is In the process of being consummated in
eastern Oregon a trade which forest officials state will en
hance the prospects'of the more orderly marketing of tim
ber in a large area of the Umatilla and Whitman national
forests.
Immediately benefiting from the trade, which is now being
advertised in several newspapers In eastern Oregon, will be
' the Kinzua Pine Mills company's plant at Ki117.ua, eight miles
east of Fossil, and also sawmilllng interests at Baker.
The trade is fully In keeping with the forest service's long
standing policy of establishing sustained yield wherever
possible, a part of lis policy of protecting the forests for the
public from an economic standpoint, according to Carl Ewing,
supervisor of the Umatilla national forest.
The Wallowa Timber company of Warren, Pa., Interested
In the Kinzua Pine mills, will trade some 23,000 acres ot
timberland in Baker county, known by old-timers as the Wet
more timber, for cutting rights on an area of timberland of
approximate equal value In Morrow county, northern Grant
county and Wheeler county, all within reach of the Kinz.ua
mill. The deal involves approximately 172,000,000 feet of
timber.
County courts of both Bnkor and Morrow 'counties have
given their approval to the deal, and so have the private
interests and (he national forests concerned.
The Wctmore (ract will be deeded to the United States
government to become a part of the Whitman national forest,
and is badly needed (0 round out a sus(ained yield operation
to support sawmills at Baker.
At the other end of the deal, the Kinzua millwith more
than 100,000 acres of privately owned (imbcrland In Ms pos
sessionby obtaining this national forest cutting rights,
hopes to be able to build up a supply which would satisfy its
needs throughout the future.
In order to achieve this indefinite supply status, the Kin
zua mill plans to co-operate with the fin est service in a sus
tained yield operation, and has several professional foresters
on Its payroll at present who are working toward this objective.

THE STORY: At the age of 10,
Frederic Chopin's dexterity at the
pianoforte has already made him
person of note in the little Po
lish village of Zelazowa Wola.
Count Skarbeck, owner of the vil
lage, has requested that he play in
public concert at Warsaw. One
day while Frederic is practicing
for the great event. Professor Eis
ner, his teacher, arrives quite out.
of breath and excitedly waves a
letter at Monsieur and Madame
Chopin.
Ill
DISSONANCE
" 'My dear Professor Eisner,' "
the recipient of tbe letter read
aloud, pronouncing each word
with care. " 'Thank you for your
letter concerning the exceptional
talent of your pupil, Frederic
Chopin. If the young pianist
should ever find himself in Paris,
we shall be pleased to give him a
hearing.' "
"Good, eh?"
Nicolas Chopin and his wife ex
changed glances.
"Signed," J 0 z e f Eisner said,
"'Respectfully, Henri Dupont,
Secretary to Louis Pleyel.' "
He folded the paper. He re
turned it to his pocket, then took
it out only to return it again, but
to another pocket.
Nicolas Chopin touched his chin.
"Frederic in Paris? Is that what
you have in that head of yours?"
"Exactly." And Jozef. Eisner
tapped his own head. "It's all
there.
Nicolas Chnpin smiled an un
believing smile.
"Yes, indeed," Jozef Eisner
said. "How many times I have
said it. 'Jozef,' I've said, 'this
boy must be heard. The curtains
of the world will rise for him.
Humph. Where Is the world? War
saw? No. Vienna? No, Paris?
Yes, Nicolas. The world is Paris
and Paris is the world. And Paris
is Pleyel."
Mamma Chopin said: "But Fred
eriche Is only a child -"
Eisner stopped her. He cleared
his throat. "My dear Madame,
in i-ans, only last month, a pian
list made his debut--tch, tch his
I name was nnlv now nn mv ..,
Well, no matter. The point is

Madame. Forget the name. Only
remember this, Madamehis age.

'is a child. Well, there is noth
ing wrong with that. That is the
way It is done In Paris
"Fritzehen isn't yet 11," Mam
ma Chopin said.
Monsieur Chopin said: " do not
even think of his age, Jozef."
Mensiwp.
"I think only of the money."
" Money?"

her husband's practical outlook.
"Only think back," she said. "How
long has it been since we have
paid you for a lesson?"
" Tch, tch." ''
" And you talk of Paris!"
"Madame, please, I refuse to
fill my head with trifles!"
Yet there it was, plain. That
is the trouble, always. You have
your dream, you carry It in your
head for a long time, then sud
denly It Is knocked out. Jozef
Eisner had his dream and he
would not have it knocked out so
easily.
"I don't say it is Paris tomor
rowor next week. Did I say
that? I don't say that at all. I
say, let us think about it plan
for it save for it. That's all I say.
Then it will come. You'll sec.
Your son, my pupil, is waiting, to
be heard from, and Paris is wait
ing to hear him. Those are facts!
Facts! You want facts! Well, you
have them facts!"
Then he broke off. Nobody said
anything. Izabela was tugging at
her mother's dress.
A look, nothing short of trans
port, was now on Jozef Eisner's
face, and on the contented faces
also of Mamma and Nicolas Cho
pin, as the strains of Mozart came
from the next room. The "won
derful hoy" was at it; playing with
calm, with brilliance, with case.
Chords! Chords, mad, wild, dis
sonant! Mozart no longer! Fingers
of an angry man not a child
were now (earing into the keys.

The chords, a tm 0 s t deafening,
leaped screaming as it seemed to
escape the pounding of the fingers
of the man, no longer a boy, at
the instrument. Jozef Eisner had
never heard anything like it.
" Frederic!"
The cry was a whisper that
went unheard in the tumult of
screaming chords. He shouted the
boy's name again.
" Stop it! Frederic, you'll
smash it!" , j
The finger struck harder -harder.
But Frederic's eyes were
not on the keyboard; they were
fastened on the window, and be
yond yet not on the rain nor at
the gray dullness of the open
countryside. They were fixed, as
Jozef Eisner now Saw, on a herd
of bearded men, chained one to
the other, slogging through the.
mud, flanked on either side by.
soldiers of the Russian Czar.
Jozef Eisner's jaw locked.

Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA SUIf Correspondent)
Washington, D. C. Anyone
who attempts to understand the
manpower muddle in which the
United States now finds itself is
asking for an acute headache. Yet
some effort to comprehend this
mess Is necessary if there is to be
any .appreciation of the need or
lack of need for national service
legislation as embodied in the
May-Bailey bill now before con
Rress, authorizing the drafting
for war work of all non-essential
industry employees from 18 to
45. You begin with the question of
why more manpower is now need
ed. What in the world have we
been doing for the last three years
if not stock-piling the arsenals of
democracy!
The most facile answer given
Is that the war didn't really be
gin until the summer of 1944!
What's that again, please? That's
it until the invasion of France
the number of ground troops was
not large. The number of divi
sions in the African and Italian
campaigns was small compared to
our forces on the western front
today.
If you accept this principle of
the need for more war production
you are ready for the next step,
which is to see where and how
the manpower for this extra pro
duction is to be obtained.
The succession of war - man
power commission orders on the
48-hour week, critical area desig
nations, controlled referrals, cer
tificates of availability and job
freeze has, it Is claimed, about
run its course. Each is labeled as
a bluff which was good as long as
it worked. But ways have been

found to evade them alL Some
thing la needed with teeth in it,
to really enforce work-or-fight
edicts.
This stirs up a veritable hor
net's nest. All-out advocates of
compulsory national service on
the home front as well as on the
war front want to make the work-or-fight
bill an anti-strike law that
would make the Smith-Connally
act look like a mere slap on the
wrist and curb much union activ
ity. Countering this move, liberals
advocate compulsory fair employ
ment practices with an end to dis
criminations against hiring of
negro workers in all industries
and all areas.
But the whole question of prop
er utilization of what labor there
is comes into the picture. Dis
closures by Senator Mead's com
mittee investigators, reporting
waste of labor in navy yards, and
revelations of military black mar
ket scandals in France and high
AWOL absenteeism in the army
in Europe do not contribute sup
port for the cause of national
service legislation. '
National service legislation can
not possibly be expected to cure
all these evils and conflicts. To ex
pect it to be a panacea for all the
manpower problems is futile.
Every situation will still have to
be dealt with locally. But a work-or-fight
law is advocated because
it will give the government con
trol over workmen as individuals,
putting them where they are
needed when they are needed.
