BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE
The Lord knoxveih how to deliver the godly out of temp
tation, and to reserve the 7tnjnst unto the day of judgment.
II Peter
Return of the Traitor
Most astonishing of the bewildering moves of French
politics is the appointment in the new French cabinet of
Joseph Caiilaux aa minister of finance, but five years ago
condemned as a traitor to France by the very men now
. exalting him to office.
Caiilaux has had a kaleidoscopic career, filled with
romance, drama and sensation. Love and early marriage,
divorce and remarriage, the shooting and killing of Gaston
Calmette, editor of the Figaro by the second Mme. Caiilaux,
her sensational trial and acquittal, which forced his retire
ment from public office, his own subsequent trial and con
viction for "commerce with the enemy during the world
war, are high-lights in the career of the most brilliant, most
admired, most unscrupulous and best hated man in France.
Though Caiilaux has been frequently called to high office
he has always been the center of political -turmoil, and has
'been persistently accused of using his position and power for
personal profit. The fact that he was an avowed partisan of
Germany led to the downfall of the cabinet of which he was
head in 1912 because he turned over to Germany a portion of
the French Congo to settle the Moroccan .controversy, and
i tilized his, knowledge of German plans to clean up a
fortune on the stock exchange.
When the Figaro in 1914 began its attack upon Caiilaux
the latter was minister of finance in the cabinet of Gaston
Doumergue now president of France. When war was
declared, Caiilaux became leader of the defeatists and
pacifists of France favoring a surrender through concessions
to Germany. He was sent on a mission to South America.
There he continued his activities against the allies and was
later arrested by order of Clemenceau and tried for treason,
after being held two years in prison. At his trial paers
seized from him confirmed his plots to overthrow the
republic by a coup d'etat. He was found guilty and sentenced
to three years imprisonment, but soon freed.
Governor Pierce permitted two Jewish convicts to leave
the penitentiary, spend the Passover visiting at their Port
land, homes, which indicates that the good old days, when
convicts spent week ends with their families or tripped the
light fantastic with winsome flappers at public dances are
coming back, at least for the religiously inclined. Surely
the tender hearted executive, wouldn't play favorites and
keep Christians in prison at Easter?
A Taxless State
Because Senator Dennis fathered the legislative resolution
submitting a referendum upon the question of suspending
income and inheritance taxes for 15 years to a vote of the
people, the grange of Union and Wallowa counties has voted
to circulate petitions for his recall, referendums apparently
being the divine right of granges.
At the same time the Yamhill county grange has voted
favorably upon resolutions making it unlawful to levy or
collect a tax from agriculture or livestock for a period of 15
years and will seek In have the state grange initiate
measure, to that effect for submission to the people at the
next general election.
As everybody wants to escape taxation, both measures will
probably pass if submitted to a vote, and we will at last
realize Governor nerce's long lost promise of cutting taxes in
half, and Oregon become the mccca not only for capitalists
but for farmers. The habit will spread, other referendums
ban other forms of taxation, and Oregon finally reach that
desideradum of patriots, the taxless state.
This in the language of the referendums "will bring us a
flood of patriotic and wealthy citizens to build up and
develop our state" and we see a glorious future ahead for
taxless Oregon, that is, for everybody except the office
holder. 1 his indeed will be a consumntion devoutly to be
wished the pieco de resistance of the famous Oregon
system, the crowning achievement of government by initia
tive and referendum.
