BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them,
and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of
the end; because it is yet for a time appointed. Daniel 11:35.
Belfast Worried
That the Irish linen industry views with alarm the pro
posed establishment of a linen mill in Oregon is shown by
the following special dispatch from Belfast in the New York
Journal of Commerce:
Dclfast, March 23 Sir Jaines Craig, the premier of northern
Ireland, who Is usually buoyantly optimistic, in now so pessimistic
as to declare that we have to look forward with much anxiety to
continuance of the depression of the linen Industry.
Curiously enough, because an American concern announces, that
It will enterprise In a manufacturing plant for spinning and weav
ing fahriCR, so a few concerns predict, that this is the beginning of
the end of the Irish linen industry. Tba list of previous American
linen mill failures Is decidedly prolix.
Just how much part foreign intrigue and interference
have played in previous failures of American linen mills, is
of course wholly conjectural. But we do know that all
efforts to establish flax plants in the Willamette valley have
been consistently and mysteriously fought for years.
We know that plant after plant has been destroyed by
fire, both private and state owned, and that ever possible
pressure has been exerted for years to thwart and discourage
the industry. Even today the present project is being mys
teriora'y fought. A Portland periodical specializing in in
sidious propaganda, has evidently been subsidized to knock
it, and by mailing marked copies, discourage investors.
Sir James Craig will have a right to be downcast if the
proposed Salem mill becomes an actuality which it will, for
nothing can prevent the valley's developing a great textile
industry.
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE
Passing the Buck
The people of Oregon, by repealing the income lax law
are responsible for the financial muddle in which the state
finds itself, says Governor Pierce, ami his claim is echoed by
the Portland Journal, which says:
Pierce and Myers didn't repeal the Mate Income tax. 'it is that
repeal that Is likely to bring- about bodlnni in slutc finances. Time
and aain it was pointed out beforehand that the repeal of the In
come law would throw the slnto finances Into confusion.
What are the facts?
In November the people repealed the income tax law.
In December, Governor Pierce and Treasurer Myers, in
defiance of the mandatory law which rcqquircs that the
state levy be fixed to meet cxienditurcs, deliberately reduced
the levy so as to raise a million dollars less than required,
making the levy just as if the income tax was still in existence.
In February, to meet the forced deficiency, following the
recommendations of the governor, the legislature reluctant-
1- passed measures levying special taxes on tobacco etc.,
and provided a special election for September to pass upon
referendums of these taxes if invoked. ,
In March Governor Pierce vetoed the bill providing for a
special election, thereby delaying the vote upon the measures
until the general election, November, 192C.
In April, referendum petitions are in circulation, which
when filed, automatically deprive the state of any revenue
from the special taxes and insure a financial crisis.
The mischief, it is plain to see, was caused by the tax levy
be"ng lowered as a political play to enable the governor to
claim credit for a reduction in properly tax, to compel spec
ial taxes, and to punish the public for failure to sustain the
income tax.
The special election bill was vetoed in pursuance of the
same personal politics, to prevent a vote upon the Dennis in-
c re tax prohibition bill and by creating a financial muddle,
force reenactment of income taxation as the cure-all of high
taxation ills.
So it is plain that if the people had only done what the
Grand Lecturer told them to do in his swing around the
circlu he wouldn't have forced a financial crisis. By the
same inexorable logic that one and one make eleven, it is
plain the people are to blame.

My Matrimonial
Vacation byvMetDare
THE NEW Ml'E BEGINS
X was too unhappy to care where
I attyed. All I knew was that my
husband aoaren'.ly waa in love
with another won-an, and didn't
cars what bcane of me.
Aa scon ai Jim decided tu leave
me behind when the regiment went
to the lJhllip!iinea, Virginia beffln
looking for an apartment m New
York. She found one eo quickly
that I couldn't help suspecting
that he hid had bor eye on It
lor some time.
It was aoial! a ftvlng room, two
Ledroon.s, a liny kitchenette and
bath. But the living 100m was bis
enough for a few people to dunce
in, and there wxi a fiiei-lucc. The
uiartment was in a huge old houe
ih;t had been remodeled, eo the
ceilings were faiily hiRh, and the
floors and woodwork wo.n beauti
ful. It was in an excellent neish
berhod. in the l ifiiea, only About
three blutVa from Fifth nvcuue.
Wo had a gorgeous view of the
Kaat river from our windiwi. And
the rnt waa low. because th.it ec
t ion of town was Just bei n g re -claimei
and Tents hadn't jone np
et.
Vlrytnia made It look lovely. She
bad a knack for picking up bits of
old furniture, whkh "he promptly
gave a history they had been in
her family for generations, of
courtfe.
The man who owned the house
lived on the fris. floor, and he
asked him to tea the nilnulo we
were w-itlod.
"Ho'i a bit of a boor, but be nice
tn him, Nancy,' ahe said to me,
as ahe got Into her prettiest tea
uowii. "Ho has loiide of money, nnd
it'a always well to stand In with
one's land lor J, anyway."
My heart still ached over Jim,
He and I had aald a horrid good
bye to each other; I'd been fUp
lut, to make him think I didn't
care whether he held other women
in hta arms or not. And ha'd ac
cused me of being quite willing to
have him go away without me.
"Oh, well, we've been married six
months, so U'J about time we i' h
had a vacation," I told him gaily
"Get leave in a year or so and I'll
meet you in Hon Kon. Think of
how thiilled we'll be to seo each
01 her'"
Think of how lonely I'll be
without you!"
Oh. as to that. I've de!eatel
Cluire Eaton to look after you;
he'll kee; you from iiiisiis me
tco much," 1 told him, looking s
reclallv innocent so tint he would
ret suspect mo of knowing any
thing. ,
Ho did suspect me, thougut; hw
c,uick glan:-3 swept over my face,
but I Just laughed and lighted a
cig.ire'U. I didn't want It I hate
to smoke, but diversion was need
ed at th-it mnricnt. He turned
r.wny abruptly and dropped the
subject.
I went to the train with htm;
Hie Batons were goins to San Kr.in
Cisco on the same train, and I fill
ed Claire's stateroom witn led roses
she oaen -every Fpeck of color
when thara's anything red arumd.
"Ked rasea of passion advance
payment for your keeping Jim
amused for me," I told her. "It's
so sweet of you, dear. I'll do aa
much for you some day."
"Oil, I nevor let my husband
leave me I can't bear to be sep
arated from him," she murmured
in a 3usar-sve-?t tone, pizin up
at him. Claire goes in heavily for
sweetness.
"No? And dc he stnd without
hitching?" I ajikei. "Be carefuf
Uiat he doesn't bolt any husband
worth having la sure to, aome time
or other- and a woman of your
experience would be bored to death
with any other kind."
Bcore two for me. Claire waa
looked her worst that day, and
hated me for accenting the fact.
And biff Bill Baton looked up as if
hi'd juat heard aomething new to
him. I'm sure that until that mo
ment he'd never thought of want
ing a vacation frohi matrimony.
"Sorry to leive 'you before the
train starts." I babbled on glanc
ing at my watch; as a matter of
fact, I was afraid I'd burst inio
tears nnd be? Jim to take me with
him if I atayed another moment.
I've an ensf.igement for dinner
,md tho opc.-a, nnd mustn't he
late." 1 gave Jim a kias as light
and meaningly as the touch of a
1 utterfiy's wing, gave Claire one
exactly like It, and held up my
faco to Dill a If Jt were a matttp
cf course for me to kiss him too.
He huishe 1 in embarrassment,
lient d nvn Hnd kised me. I traib
away, a-lj'iatln; my corsasro bu
c.uct of flamo colored sweet pens
:nul rose buds they looked so ex-pen3i'-)
that nobody wou'd over
have su.spccte.1 mo of buying them
for myself.
"When I glanced back Jim wni
-Urine nftcr me wit a bewilder
ment In hi good looking eyes. Bill
was Giiniiimr, and Clairo looked
uncomfortable.
Nona of them knew that I cried
all the way home In my landlord's
car, whi'i he had lent me to go
tu the elation in. And none of
them knew that, though I did go
to the opera thnt evening with him
my heart waa like lead.
Ah we enme out Into the snowy
air that nlpht that same landlord,
taking my aim protectively, eald:
"Not mlosing your husband too
much, are you? How about having
supper with me, to help you for
get ?"
