"Without or tvith offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." in Taxing the Untaxed The Portland Journal finds that Governor Pierce's veto of the special election bill "was constitutional, was sound and was common sense." All of which shows that our sobbing contemporary has an unexpected vein of subtle satire. The Journal is very gleeful over the certainty of a million dollar shortage in state funds, and holds the governor, who deliberately plotted the shortage, is not at fault, but "those who wrecked the state income tax." Who wrecked the state income tax? Why the dear people, of course, and their edict has always been sacred to the Journal. Continuing its tax comments the Journal declares "the necessity of devising some method of bringing into the tax paying fold those persons who now contribute nothing to the support of the state government and yet enjoy the benefits and privileges which the government affords." Who are these non-taxpaying persons? About 60 percent of the dear people. They include the few rich tax-dodgers who invest in tax-exempt securities and the many who have nothing to tax. Neither class can be reached by income or property tax, though they can and do vote taxes on the taxpayer. Only a poll-tax will be effective in making the majority contribute to the support of the government. The income tax cinches the few, hence the governor and the Journal advocate it. The poll-tax hits everyone, hence neither the governor nor Journal advocate it, lest it be unpopular. Hence there is no sincere effort to make the non- taxed pay their share they have too many votes and subscriptions. A Third Term Swampscott dispatches convey the interesting information that the. "opening gun has been fired" for a third term for President Coolidge by David W. Mulvane, republican commit teeman from Kansas, but it is naively added "nothing has been said at White Court to indicate whether President Coolidge would be receptive to third term talk." There are of course two Coolidges, one the mythical hero manufactured by the propaganda of the press, the great silent statesman exuding wisdom and knowledge and the real Coolidge, timid, limited and platitudinous. The great newspapers and the great financial interests are solidly for the president, not because he has accomplished anything, for he has failed to put through any of the legis lation to which he is pledged but because he is "sound and safe" and the height of conservatism, and because he is committed to the Mellon plan for reduction of sur and income taxes. Mr. Coolidge is an ideal president for big business and big business is for him in 1928 because it has no other place to go. . There is no question of his candidacy, nor has there been since his election. Unless something unforseen happens, Mr. Coolidge will be republican nominee for a third term and in all probability elected for the metropolitan press and business combined cannot be easily beaten. us a rule; x wouluu t have Uurt-d ash her." Cynthia hated herself for the pretense she was making of hav ing wanted to ask them; she had n't even thought of doing so, of course. But she was thoroughly out of patience with lluJam. Ice land, who now, cornered, admitted that It did seem that Cynthia could not have followed her suggestion. 'But you shouldn't have lunch ed with him at all, under those circumstances," she concluded. "It was really most unwise. James Is so likely to overlook such matters that I really must be severe with you, Cynthia. Don't do it again. 11 you ?' "Hardly," answered Cvnthla, xtaring at her plate and hoping that the tears in her eyes would not fall, "l'hil's gono away, and said when he left that he wouldn't be (Jack asnin.

Harris had the misfortune to collide with another car. In overtaking and passing a fllow-moving truck, ho underesti mated the speed of an approaching car and failed to clear it by a margin, which however narrow, was sufficient to damage his car to tho extent that It was not, in his estimation, worth repairing. Very little harm was done the other ear. Had Its driver given ground even slightly, Mr. Harris thinks the accident would prob ably have been averted. No one was hurt although the gory juice of the berries at fir.st cave the ap pearance of a very bad smash. r .We will reach Salem July 13.

Jumping Seeds are Classified as Oak Leaf Galls of Wasp Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, July 6. ((.Special to the Capital Journal.) Specimen's of "jumping seeds'' were- handed to the agricultural experiment sta tion some time by a student, who said that the specimens had come from a friend in Salem, with a re- guest to find out what they ar They were handed to an assistant, as Don t Mn to, station entomolog ist, was away a: the time, but were classed as ono of the ryni pidao or jumping seed gal! of t ho oak leaf. It is probably an un classified species, as the .calls are unlike those produced by tho com mon seed gall species, Cynips ouercu) salt at nx, a penum species. of wasp. Even if th .species has boon clas.iitied. it could not be determined without seeing the adult form. The seed-like bodies are not seeds at all, but tiny oak leaf galls, each ono of which contains a minute larva. Theo larvae are hatched inside the galls from eggs laid by tho wasp, which pierefs the leaf with its ovipositor and lays tho egg In a sap channel that will supply the larvae with food and shelter. The irritation causes the leaf to 6et up a flow of blnstem which Is used by tho larvae as food and which enlarges into t be little yellow galls called jumping seeds. The common oak "applet " are galls produced by these species. While the Iarvao are still active in the galls their wriggling and twisting causes the galls to bounce about in an interesting manner. As thev become detached from the leaves the galls fall to the ground. If undisturbed, the larvae trans form into pupao which later de velop into the adult wasps. A somewhat similur phenom enon Is tho jumping Mexican beau in somo demand as a gambling de vice. Each jumping bean is In habited by a drlggling larva which causes it to jump, la gambling with them, a ring is drawn on tho ground, tho beans are placed near It, and the bets are iaid on tho length of time or Number of jumps required for one of the beans to laud inside tho circle.
