"I. PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM," OREGON MONDAY OCTOBER 9, 1922. CapiiBJournal 8lro, Oregon An Independent Newspaper, Published arcry rulng except Sunda Telephone tl; news 81 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor nd Publisher Commercializing Shame The Ku Klux Klan have on exhibit as part of their pro paganda for arousing: and fanning- the flames of fanaticism intolerance and community discord to the end that more money may flow into their coffers for the benefit of kleaglea, and more votes be cast as dictated by their cyclops, women , posing as "escaped nuns." Several such are touring- the country in the klan employ. As the merits or demerits of any particular woman we know nothing-, save that some are commercializing a story of shame that should bring a blush to the check of virtue, but the federal secret service operatives are author ity for the statement that some of the half dozen touring the land as professional "escapes," never saw the inside of a nunnery and are merely unscrupulous adventuresses braz enly peddling scandal for profit. It will be noticed that all such "escapes" are careful not to give details, or to be specific, lest they be held to legal account, but make their accusations very general There probably are authentic cases of immorality exist ant among the Catholic clergy, just as there are among the protectant and other clergy. But they are the rare excep tion and not the rule. Punishment in such cases is said to be drastic, for the church maintains a discipline unknown to dominational churches, There would be just as much ex cuse for the Salem preacher who left his wife and family a year ago to run away with a 17 year old girl, to tour the country on his return from prison, lecturing on the moral depravity of the pulpit as there is for any "escaped nun" to capitalize the story of her shame. The Capital Journal holds no brief for the Catholic or other church, "but views attacks upon any church or relig ion as un-American and a violation of the constitutional guarantees of liberty. If one church is successfully attacked because it is a minority, the turn of others at the hands of the intolerant majority will follow, as the night the day. All churches must unite against intolerance lest in the future their own rights be attacked. The Lost Cause Having definately , and authoritatively decided for the eteenth time last Wednesday that there will be a world's fair in Portland in 1925, even if the taxpayers have to pay the entire cost, the board of managers just a3 definately and equally as authoritatively decided the following Friday that there would not be a world's fair in 1925 but that there would be one in 1927, the additional time being needed to filch a million dollars insubscriptions from the beneficiaries. Perhaps by the coming Wednesday, the directors, appalled by the magnitude of the task of getting anyone to subscribe real money to an exposition, will definately and authorita tively decide to hold the fair in 1929. The final and long delayed death notice of the 1925 ex position, over which its inspiration, Julius Meier, read the funeral services some time since, comes as a shock to the public spirited citizens of' Portland who have made such a heavy investment in tha lost cause by the purchase of but-, tons and banners, which are now rendered useless. The en-' thusiasm these 1925 .emblems engendered was only exceed ed by the avidity which Mayor Baker spent the fair bill slush-fund in hot-air xrnrsinns hnr iho fn.t- ia WinniiKr, , ... - V .-.(,.11.... to soaK into tne neads ot even the boosters, that it takes more man Duttons ana banners to build a fair. There is one way to end, at least until the world recovers from shell-shock, all this agitation for an exposition to be built at the overburdened taxpayers expense, and that is to swat the initiative bill on the ballot permiting the people of . rortiand to raise fair money by taxation, which will neces sarily mean a neavy state tax lor cooperative displays and exhibits.

Tax Cutting Bunk The total amount levied for taxation in Oregon in 1922 Is $40.473. !)0r.

This amuum niciuat'8 me cost oi maintamance ot all state insti tutions and the expenses of state government. This six percent is the amount that directly comes under the governor's supervision and is all that does, so that when Walter Pierce says that he will cut taxes in two, he is mere ly playing the demagogue, for he is promising an impossi bility. Of the total taxes, 23 percent, or $9,373,376 is nominal ly state tax, but it includes $1,020,503 for redemption of soldiers bonus bonds. $2,010,905 for state aid to elementary schools the state market road tax, the higher educational . ir, silage taxes, and the tax for educational aid to soldiers A total of $6,859,296 out of the $9,373,376 was voted by the pt-ople themselves. J Oregon's tax bill for education was $16,695,930 in 1921. of which 12.217.203 or 13.8 percent was authorized by the Percent for high schools and $10,692,602 of 64 percent for grade schools. It is apparent that the governor has no con- .ver,,those 'und. n(j cannot reduce the expenditures, but Mr. Pierce by h.s advocacy of the compulsory schoo bill, would increase these taxes over a million dollars a year to educate students now educated at private expense and from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 to provide addiUoU schS rooms to care for them, present facilities being overcrowded without them. , ,By, fa.u ih part of xation is under the direct con trol of either district, county or municipality and is under lo rn! supervision -and not un-ler the governor's jurisdiction. 1 h, voUth of the vanous school districts, drainage districts, tounties and cities fix levies, nni ih. . A total of 94 percent of all the taxes have "been authoriz ed by vote of the people, and the governor cannot be blam id for them, and the executives powerless to effect anv paving except in the state s six percent, and only slightly in I aat. The talk that Pierce or any other person can cut taxes m two is bunk. There is no magic cure-all for high taxation economy is the only remedy and it must begin locally and t.-'-nd through tin line.

Slowly I had the man wheel me back to the hotel and going through the connecting door 1 found Sheila in a troubled sleep. Uer sobbing breath and tear-stained cheeks pro claimed that she had only sunk into the deep sleep of exhaustion. I must have made a slight noiss. She opened her big eyes, aglow with pain and I answered their unspoken request. "'o dear, we won't stay here. I made up my mind to that before I came back. This gay place is not for women like us women full of anxiety and sorrow. We will go back to the shore bouse and just wait for the days to pass until this thing is all settled and you ere happy again." Sbila impetuously threw her arms about me as I sat there on the bed. "There is no one on earth like you. Kay, no one so staunch and so true. Why do they say that one woman cannot love another woman as a man loves another man. I would make any sacrifice for you and I am sure you would for me. She hesitated a moment and then looking up into my face she whis pered: "Do you think that I will ever be happy again? Can I be hap py again f And when I am happy, if such a thing can be, what will come to Susaunc Jones f I do not think that I could ever love a man, Kay enough to perjure my soul as she has perjured hers. "Oh it isn't just being unchaste that ruins a woman, for I am quite sure that Susaniie can be called a virtuous woman, although she has lied and stolen something from me that is of more value than gold or jewels. Why is it, Kay, that when a woman keeps the seventh com mandment, she is always called good and if she breaks it and keep all the others, she is called bad!" "Why do you know that even as sorrowful and unhappy as I am to night, I can find it in my heart al most to pity Susanne Jones. She must have a living hell inside of her. She must be afraid every time the doorbell rings that her brother will come upon her. As she walks down the street she will not dare to look over her shoulder for fear she will see his face and always, always. she must understand that if ever i ten l'uil and prove to him, which she must know I am trying to do, that I am innocent, she will be plac ed where she has tried to put me, in the dock of the guilty."
