"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.

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.

"Hardly," answered Cvnthla,

the tears in her eyes would not

MO DEMOLISHED IN
COLLISION; NONE HURT
Brooks, July C While driving
to Woodburn with a load ol logan
berries, A. E. 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.

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.
