Passing of a King
In the passing of King George V, Great Britain loses an
ideal constitutional monarch, one who faithfully lived up to
the limitations of his office, who ruled during a troublesome
ra with a courtesy, ability, tact and intelligence that endear
ed him to the people of an empire that circles the globe.
Perhaps there have been greater kings than George V,
more foreful sovereigns, but none more democratic, consci
entious and industrious or who more cheerfully and courage
ously met the numerous crises occasioned by and growing
out of the world war and the ensuing depressions.
It has been an age when thrones were toppled, royal
families exiled, and ruthless dictatorships established. But
in spite of the assaults of radicals, communists and fascists,
the traditional liberty and democracy of Britain has been pre
served and the monarchy more firmly established than ever.
Contrary to popular belief in the United States, the king
of England is not a mere social figurehead, but an active ad
viser and participant in government, one who accepts the
verdict of the majority and steers his course by it. Shorn of
fuedal power, the king has become the beloved symbol of the
nation, and George V proved his ability in the directing of
British policies.
The new king, Edward VIII is widely known throughout
the world, versatile and popular, with perhaps more of the
dash of his grandfather Edward VII than of the plodding
industry of his father. His wide knowledge of the world and
of its people bespeak for his reign a continuation of the
traditions that have preserved the British empire.
A $400,000,000 Bonus
The reply of the supreme court to the government's pe
tition that it be granted the usual 25 days for filing a request
for a reconsideration of AAA decisions affecting the release
of the impounded processing taxes was a curt refusal and an
order for the immediate refund of the $200,000,000 to pro
cessors. The government petitioned on the ground that the rul
ing for processing taxes refunds "destroyed essential safe
guards to the orderly and uninterrupted collection of all fed
eral taxes and imperils the normal functioning of govern
ment,'' of the "pay first and litigate afterwards" principle
that has always governed. A clarification was asked of the
court's opinion, and the contention raised that the ruling re
versed an earlier one in a similar case.
So the $200,000,000 which as already been paid by the
consumer through higher prices charged by the processors,
though the government got none of it, will be returned to the
processors, and as it will be impossible to return any part of
it to the consumer, it contitutes a bonus to the manufactur
er.These impounded taxes were to be paid by the government
to the farmers for cooperation
government is pledged to make these payments to the farnv
er, the taxpayer will have to pungle up the money, thus pay
ing it twice, once as a consumer and again as taxpayer.
Thus the supreme court
000,000 swat for the consumer-taxpayer and a $400,000,000
bonus for the middle men, $200,000,000 profit realized by
charging higher prices for processed products and $200,000,-
000 impounded taxes ordered returned. It is a perverted
sort of justice.
Facts to be Faced
Defective as it may be in minor respects defects that
can be easily corrected when
year from now the so-called sales tax measure upon which
the people of Oregon will vote at the special election of Jan
uary 81 offers the only immediate means of financinir pen
sions for the aged, blind and
aoies.
Defeat of the measure will leave the state and the coun
ties without one cent with which to care for these depend
ents, except to such extent as their needs can be cared for
out of direct relief funds.
In Marion county, it is estimated, the amount available
for direct relief will be about $6 a month per person a sum
woefully inadequate for the care of any totally incapacitated
man or woman.
The wisdom of the legislature in transferring all direct
tax pension levies from the pension fund to direct re
lief purposes when formulating the sales tax program is
questionable; particularly so when the substitute plan for
financing pensions was made contingent upon a referendum
vote. But the condition exists wherein old age pensions
must bo paid out of sales tax revenues or not at all.
If the sales tax fails there can be no hope of pension
funds for a period of three or four months at the least. To
find substitute money would require another special session
of the legislature, which could not be convened in less than
three or four weeks. Its deliberations would consume an
other two weeks or more, and no tax measure it could devise
could become operative in less than 90 days after adjourn
ment. With a sales tux of one form or another eliminated from
consideration as it would bo by an adverse vote on January
81 the problem of where to turn for money would be a real
one for the law makers. The operation of the six percent
tax increase limitation would restrict the possibility of im
posing additional proiwrty, income or inheritance levies in
an amount necessary to provide the needed funds. To re
store the former pension levy would be to rob direct relief
of needed money.
The sales tax must be approved or Oregon's aged and
blind will be in a sorry plight.

Chapter 13
FOX SPEAKS OUT
Action! The city was charged with
it and so were the Legations.
Back at his Embassy Fox learned
that Ray West had accepted the
Old Man's advice and the American
polo party would sail for New York
via Vera Cruz.
Nor did the Ambassador's advis
ory powers stop there. He gave the
attache to understand that his next
brainstorm would draw more than
a rebuke it would entail a transfer
to Zanzibar or some other place, if
not a dismissal from the Foreign
Service.
The Old Man would have said
more but he had to take time out to
get purple over a Washington de
spatch and Fox returned to a desk
full of cables and messages to be
decoded. He felt singularly unlnv
pressed about the threats to his ca.
reer. What he had done was worth
it. He didn't fall in love every day.
All night long he worked. Dent
was swearing at the consul who was
much mystified over the disappear
ance of two American seamen and
had reported an "overt act" to the
Embassy.
The house of the Ministry of
Finance had been picketed by police
guards against a threatening crowd,
The President and his Cabinet were
conferring behind locked doors at
the Palace. Everybody was looking
toward Propionoire. The atmosphere
was lovely for a rest cure.
And the next day the strets and
parks were thronged with people.
Fox prayed for tne hours to pass.
The Vera Cruz ship was to sail at
ten that night. And night, he
thought, would never come.
At half-past eight the Ambassador
took his nose out of a sheaf or le
ports long enough to order him as
an official representative oi tne ism
bassy to bid the party Godspeed.
Proprieties and amenities must be
observed at all times Rule some-thlng-or-other
of the efficient For
eign officer.
The attache didn't reach tne Al-
vio untU shortly after nine. Traffic
congestion in the streets was ter
rible. He scarcely knew whether he'd
find Allaire there or not, but final
ly located her on one of the hotel
balconies viewing the lighted pan
orama of the capital.
The Avenlda Georgian stretched
across the city from the great hotel
straight as an arrow, toward the
Capitol building with its brilliantly
lighted fountains throwing leaping
sprays of changing color to uie aarK
velvet sky.
"Allaire!" he said.
She turned slowly, almost reluc
tantly. "Oh George. Cheerio, son. Beau
tiful, isn't it?"
"Your boat, Allaire. We'd better
go"
"I don't know whether I will or
not."
Her voice was low and measured.
A quick stab of panic went through
him.
"Allaire please"
A moment her eyes dwelt on his
strained face, then sho smiled.
"I have an idea that you're some
where behind the Ambassador's urg
ent proposal. Oh, well, don't worry,
George. I won't embarrass you. I

suppose I might as well tag along."
A last minute she lingered, assim
ilating the vista of dancing lights,
the strains of music from a nearby
cafe, the pulse of swirling traffic,
then his arm in hers they left the
balcony and went out Into the
street.
In the taxi he lit a clgaret and
smoked furiously. .
"I'm going to ask. to be trans
ferred. Or resign or something. Any
way I'm going to the States as soon
as I see this rotten mess through."
"You wax emphatic," she drawled
lazily. "And your brow Is somewhat
fevered," she added, passing a hand
over his forehead. "Mr. Fox, are you
in love, perchance?"
"Mr. Fox," he admitted grimly,
"is plenty In love."
And what is Mr. Fox in love with,
pray? His art?"
He said it quite calmly.
"With you, sainted wench."
Allaire glanced at him keenly,
lounging sideways against the cush
ions, her hands clasped against one
hip.
"Darling, this is a hell of a time
to tell me a thing like that, don't
you think?"
"Why? Because I suddenly realize
you're really leaving? Back to the
States with this place just an in
terlude in your life.'
He took both of her hands and
she yielded them, unresisting. I'm

like throwing a last ditch forward

. His eyes crinkled at the comers
in his boyish grin. "If I'm not or
iginal, I can't help it. I'm just try
ing to ask you to marry me. And
I'm going to chase you to the States
to ask you again."
She tilted her head back and re
garded him in mock estimation.
"Very acceptable. Harvard man,
athlete, extraordinary good-looking,
rising in the diplomatic service, with
enough money to be an Ambassa
dor some day truly a catch."
"Yes," he commented, "and what
I'm catching now is nobody's busi
ness. Still," he added, considering,
T haven't been let down so easy
since the time I was lowered into a
cradle at the age of thirty days."
"Don't, Georgci" she said, swiftly
contrite. "I didn't mean it quite like
that. But, oh. can't you see I don't
want to talk about those things now.
Not here in this place. I've Just
found out I don't know what it's all
about. I have to learn to stop cry
ing for the moon. That's what this
queer place finally taught me. There
isn't any moon. Will you give me
a clgaret?"
"Well," he said, holding a light
for her, "that's settled and I'll just
have to hope you're still in circula
tion by the time I get back to the
States. Lord, that's a lot to expect."
The girl rested while chin on fist
and stared at the top of an idly
swinging satin slipper.
"I promise you," she said gently,
"I will be."
They swept up to the dock. He
escorted her up the gangway and
immediately realized any hope of
being with her alone before she
sailed was void.
The polo party was laughing about
"being chased out of town." They
referred to Vera Cruz as though it
was the name of a Mexican movie
actress. Fox lost Allaire in the
crowd. He went back to the dock as
the whistle blew and eagerly search
ed the faces at the ship's rail.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
(Copyright, 1836, by Paul Mallon)
Washington, Jan. 20 Mr. Mor-
genthau told the senators that It
looks as if he will have to tap tne
bankers' tills for five million dollars
more In new loans shortly. He will
need it to pay the bonus, relief and
the processing tax refund.
Forty-eight hours later, the man
who was to handle all this new fin
ancing for him quit, without official
explanation.
Naturally, all the Insiders and
outsiders here have been adding up
these two ominous events and get
ting all sorts of answers, including
chaos, inflation or whatever may
occur to you.
The only certain thing Is that
most of the current answers .are
likely to-be wrong. No one knows
the real answer, Including Mr. Mor
genthau, who confessed as much.
The way this vast incomprehen
sible situation Is sized up frankly
by the best fiscal authorities here
is this:
Mr. Morgenthau probably will be
able to avoid any greenbacklng or
inflationary tricks to get his money,
if he wants to. Those who know how
he and President Roosevelt have
worked this money game believe
that both of them will want to.
There will probably be no more
tricks now with the bookkeeping
gold profit. They will need that $1,
800,000,000 for the stabilization fund
for a long time yet. There probably
will be no action to open the gold
market, as asked by the committee
for the nation .Nor is there any
likelihood of reopening" the domes
tic gold and silver markets.
One thing may be banked on. The
taxes you have seen so far are on
ly the beginning of what you will
see, after the election.
' Personalities Pleased and dis
pleased fiscal authorities who know
Messrs. Roosevelt and Morgenthau
thoroughly seem to agree that both
are essentially sound money men.
That is, they want to spend, but
spend within reason. Where the
pleased and displeased have dis
agreed and parted is on the ques
tion of where the line of reason lies
This is supposed to explain the
departure of Assistant Treasury
Secretary Coolidge. Men with the
combination to the. treasury vaults
say Mr. Coolidge did not suddenly
become displeased. Nor was there
any definite break on a definite pol
icy. Rather, they noticed Mr. Coolidge
month by month lately becoming
more and more depressed with the
prospects of raising money to meet
more and more expenditures.
Confidence There is one new
reason why the experts believe that
Mesrss, Roosevelt and Morgenthau
may safely raise the money in pros
pect. It Is that the country is no
longer finicky on the money ques
tion. If recent polls of public opin
ion are any indfoation, the people
are thinking and talking about
.spending, unemployment, farm re
lief, etc., but not about inflation.
In fact, the Inflationists bloc was
so weak on the bonus in Congress
the -other day that it was unable to
put up even a good fight. Two years
ago, Mr. Roosevelt had to trick thein
out of putting something over on
him (stiver).
The other reasons are the same
old ones which have enabled the
unpecedented financing done so far.
The banks are filled with money,
have no place to lend vast sums.
except to the government
Burden The inside on the tax
situation is as clear as the immin
ence of unexpected spending.
New dealers do not want any
new taxes levied before election if
they can help it. They may have to
impose some excise taxes in con
nection with the new farm program,
but they will hold until the last
electoral vote Is counted to delay
tho new general tax legislation
which the current situation obvious
ly demands. That Is good politics.
It is equally clear where the new
burden is going to fall when it
does. There Is no more real revenue
in the rich, because there are so
few rich. Nor is there much more
to be gained from the poor, and ev
eryone else, by sales and excise tax
es. After all. the current state sales
taxes are as much as that traffic
will bear.
There is only one place the gov
ernment can get such revenue as Is
now being talked about. That Is in

taxes on incomes below $50,000.
They will pay the bill.
Glitter No one here is paying any
attention to the new pressure cam
paign of the committee for the na
tion. The idea prevalent on the In
side here is that opening of the
gold market would cause the price
oi gold to go down, not up.
The reason why the agitation for
re-opening of the domestic gold and
silver' markets is not getting any
where either is that such action
might cause hoarding again. The
current financial situation is not
yet so settled as to prevent a pos
sible rush into two such basic com
moditles, out of respect to their fix-
ed value, which, Incidentally, has
not been entirely fixed during the
last six years.
Worse The tight-lipped secretary
of the treasury was conservative in
his estimates to the senators. The
truth Is he will probably have to
raise a lot more than $5,000,000,-
000 In new money during the next
seventeen months.
He took a sub-bottom estimate on
the bonus and on undisclosed re
lief needs. Also, he failed to figure
in the new farm program, a possible
farm tenant bill and a couple of
billion dollars of other possible odds
and ends. However, this does not
alter his financing chances mater-
ially. Nor does the prospect that he
will have to do about $6,000,000,000
of refinancing in the next 17
months. Refinancing is compara
tively easy.
But if the debt is not upwards of
$36,000,000,000 before he gets
through, a lot of important silk hats
will be eaten around Washington.

to
QUESTIONS
A reader can get the answer to
any question of fact by writing The
Capital Journal Information Bureau,
Frederio J. Haskin, director, Wash
ington, D. C. Please enclose three
cents for reply.
Q. When will the new Zeppelin
LZ-129 make its first flight? L.T.
A. It is expected to make its first
flight from Friedrlchstafen, Ger
many, to Lakehurst, N. J late In
October.
Q. Who Is Lord Tweedsmuir?
A. This is the title recently taken
by John Buchan, upon whom a bar
ony has been conferred in connec
tion with his appointment as Gov
ernor General Designate of Canada.
Q. Does a man become a Senator
when the votes are counted or when
he takes his seat in the Senate? T.
V A.
,V When he takes his seat. In a
sji-jch made by Senator George in
defining the right of Senator Holt
to be admitted to the Senate, he said
in part: "There is a distinction and
a difference between the Senator
elect from the date of the beginning
of his term down to the time when ,
he actually assumes the duties of the
office of Senator and after that
time. . . The election of one of pub
lic office does not make him a publio
officer. Until the person elected hat
come to the Senate, has entered the
body, and has taken his place as a
member, he Is not in a position, nox
does he have the power nor the re
sponsibility to cast a single vote, to
register a single official act which
could influence any policy of thi
Government."
