BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Thou shall alio d'cree a thing, and it shaV be established
unto thee: and the lioht shall shine upon thy Kays. Job
22:23.
U'Ren to the Rescue
W. S. U'Ren, "father of the Oregon system," who is to a
large extent responsible for the craze of government by
constitutional amendment, which having spread from Oregon
over the nation for the demoralization of the body politic, has
given us prohibition, suffrage, and other more or less dubious
blessings, now proposes to prevent future war by amending
the federal constitution. t
Great is the power of amendment! If we can change
human nature and end crime by merely passing a law, as our
U'Ren's have convinced our legislators and congressmen,
why of course we can abolish war by a constitutional amend
ment. The great law-giver wants Oregon to take the lead by
enacting, through the initiative, a mandate to the Oregon
delegation directing it to obtain the submission of an amend
ment to the constitution under the terms of which "the
United States will wage war in its own territory to repel
invasion, but its armed forces shall not take any part in war
for any other cause in any other land, except that it reserves
the right to aid any nation of America and Australia an its
own territory to repel invasion."
If rowdy nations persist in insulting and attacking a
"gentleman nation," like your Uncle Sam's, Mr. U'Ren .ays
we'll boycott them ! Which means, of course, we will refuse
to trade, and as under the beneficent protective tariff we sell
more than we buy, of course the belligerent would be brought
to his knees in no time.
In the meantime, under1 modern warfa're, fleets of hostile
' airplanes would probably bomb our cities, gas our inhabitants,
torpedo our vessels, blast our factories and destroy our
commerce and we'll even it up by a slap on the wrist, when
the president "suspends diplomatic, trade and business
relations."
War is an evil, so, by all means "there orter be a law
against it " That'll end it.
Taxes Increasing
Property taxes levied in Oregon this year, as compiled by
the Oregon Voter, total $42,600,783 which is an increase of
$2,470,757 over last year, not including revenues derived from
other sources which shows how fur we have realized Gov
ernor l'icrce's promise to cut taxes in half.
Of these property taxes, 82.4-1 percent is levied by county
and local tax-levying bodies and 17.56 per cent by the state.

take 8.37 percent or $3,571,157, while cities and towns take
JG.41 percent or $7,002.00.
Increases over 1924 are shown by county and local of G.84

legislative assembly. Schools show 8.91 percent increase,

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life

You yoartelf know Lille, con
tinued Harold, "that on gets ac
customed very early to luxurious
living. For tha laat three years
Lisa 'a taatea have broadened and
changed with her fortunes. It
will be very hard for her to live
on her curtailed Income.
"I am almost aure that It will
b quite as hard for her to lire on
an ordinary incom as It waa for
her to liv on practically no In
come, before her land began to
spout oil.
"Tour mother. Lille, knows
nothing about business. I some
time think that abe would be
more content If not perhaps thrill
ing happy if she bad married Mr.
Marchmont and settled down to
the quiet contemplation of life's
sunshiny afternoon."
"You seem to forget Harold,
that 1 still have the other half
of that oil field. I shall never
permit mother to have her alight,
eat wish unfulfilled, even If she
doe not let me return her the
property'
'You don't understand, my
dear child, that your mother ha
been In the habit of using her
own money Just aa she pleased.
The most unhappy thing thai
could come to her would be to get
a sense of dependence even on her
daughter'
"I'll find soma way to give the
money back."
"I don't beliere you can do
that, Lille. She la determined
that you ahall keep it and I ad
vised her to give It to you. I have
wished many times in the last 36
hours that I had not done so."

"You ara rery frank. Harold."
"Why should I be anything else,
my dear girl? Now I am going to
be more frank. I wish you would
like roe .a little."
I do like you a little," Inter
rupted Lille with a smile from
which she quickly brushed an ex
pression of triumph. "My plan
has worked." she said to herself.
"Now all tbat I have to do la to
stare off a proposal of marriage
until I can get mother to be un
wittingly present. I want her to
hear and see the proof of Harold
Kennedy's perfidy."
Harold however, had no know
ledge of Llllemay'a thoughts. He
saw only the aweeteat smile she
bad ever given him. He impul
sively took her hand.
"Lillemay. you cannot know
what your telling me that you
like me means to me. From the
f i ret moment I met you I wanted
you to tell me that. It will mean
so much In both your life and
mine.
"I was much afraid, dear, that
you would always hate me and I
could not bear It. I anticipate
that we will have some uncom
fortable and hard work to do when
we get back to Hollywood.
"Your mother doesn't realite
for a moment what awaits her
there. Since money has poured
into her lap in a rivulet of 'flow
ing gold.' she ha been lika a
person who thinka the world her
oyster, but unfortunately, in her
case she does not know how to
open It.
"I, up to now, have been able
to do that for her. I have made

"Surely after this. Lille, you
can see that it la very probable
that I may find It Impossible to
act a 'oyster opener' when I get
back to Hollywood. I may have
to find someone to take my place.
''Ovid Marchmont has really
been of little practical good to
your mother. He has alwaya been
content to let things remain aa
they were. He has never had any
Initiative. He la timid. I some
times think that he waa born not
only old but a little atupld. He
never had any visions of what
youth and work and atruggle
might be, so ho really does not
know what he has missed.
"He has thought he loved your
mother all his life, but It has mere
ly been because she has been the
one woman who baa always been
near him.
"He baa a very sweet nature
and he Is somewhat eelf-saeriflc
Ing. This makes him kind and at
tentive, aa far as his passionless
nature will let him be to all wo
men. Ovid Marchmont will never
know love: he will never know
great happiness, but he has reach
ed that state of dry rot which
means content.
