Filling the Chest
slm with n estimated Dopulation of 30,000 persons,
fs iust now engaged in the task of filling its first community
chest, $45,000 having been fixed as the amount required to
carry the participating charitable and service organizations
through the coming year.

Figuring the regularly employed men and women in the
city at 7500, a conservative estimate, the donation needed
from each would be six dollars, which is probably a little
higher than the average daily earnings oi inese inumuuaiB.
Not so much, however, as to make the deficiency in funds col
lected from those in the lower wage brackets burdensome up
n thno rprpivinc hitrher salaries.
The suggested plan of asking all regularly employed cit
izens to contribute the equivalent of one day's earnings each
year towards filling the community chest commends itself as
being a reasonable and equitable means of distributing the
burden of financing these worthy extra-governmental ser
vices. Some will naturally give more and some less some
nothing. But your voluntary cooperation will help Salem meet
a. recognized responsibility.
One day's pay will drive a lot of misery away.
Cannot Live It Down
Public revulsion over the appointment by President
Roosevelt of Hugo L. Black of Alabama, who holds a life
membership in the Ku Klux Klan to the United States su
preme court bench ought to be a warning to those aspiring to
political office to keep out of such movements, despite the
temporary advancement thereby secured. Either Mr. Black
was insincere and joined from expediency and took the secret
oath of allegiance to the "Invisible Empire" with its program
of bigotry to secure his election to the senate, or was sincere
in his intolerance and a bigot. In either case he proved his un
fitness for judicial office.
The Ku Klux Klan, like the "Know-Nothings," of the
BO's, of the "A.P.A.'s" of the 90's, was the recrudescence of
the religious and racial intolerance that seems latent in hu
manity and flares up every generation or two, to be exploited
by racketeers, grafters and politicians as well as fanatics.
But when disillusion follows and the wave of hysteria sub
sides, and common sense returns, the people will have none
of such. The mere fact of membership in such fanatical or
ganizations is enough to damn future aspirations of the poli
ticians and he cannot live it down.
Many politicians tend to be ruled by expediency in
stead of principle and in search of public office will join any
thing and promise anything to secure group support, no mat
ter how wild-eyed. The people tend to forget or overlook most
of these campaign pledges but not those proscribing religion
or race. They rise to plague the future like Banquo's ghost.
In the past 20 years we have seen Oregon politicians
flocking from one so-called popular issue to another, using
each issue in turn as an instrument to ride into public office.
Prohibition, the Ku Klux Klan, Free Power, Townsend pen
sions, and other Utopian schemes followed in turn. If it's pop
ular, the politicians are usually for it and the demagogues al
ways. But there is always a public reaction that frequently
weeps into oblivion.
Spread of Sales Taxes
Th current issue of Business Week hss on Its cover a
photograph by Ripley of a collection of "tokens" or "mole
cule money" used in collecting sales taxes in the various
states. It looks like a collection of Chinese coins, most of them
hole punched in the center. Those of Missouri are the size of
a silver dollar, those of other states the size of a half or quar
ter dollar, those of other states the size of a nickel. Most are
round though some square. They represent all denomination
of mills, from 1 to 5 and their fractions, according to tax
levied.
Believe it or not in 1933 only five states had sales taxes,
now there are 22, eleven of which use tokens. The sales tax
was an emergency measure to help balance depression bud
gets, but like the relief rolls, begins to look permanent, as
1937 legislatures placed new sales tax laws in Alabama and
Kansas, renewed them in seven other states, five for an in
definite period, and South Dakota raised the ante from 2 to
3 percent. Idaho only followed the earlier example of Mary
land. New York and Pennsylvania and abolished the sales tax.
The voters of Maine last month rejected a proposed levy by
sustaining a referendum.
In addition to the 22 states with sales taxes of two or
three percent, Florida and Minnesota have small gross re
ceipt levies as part of their chain tax laws and Louisiana a
retail sales tax on luxuries and services.
West Virginia passed the first sales tax in 1921. It has
neen such a revenue producer that other states have followed.
They have proved the most important source of revenue in
the states that have them, yielding $336,465,000 or 32.2 per
cent of totnl income. California derives the most revenue,
more than $73,000,000, averaging $15 a family although
much of it comes from tourists.

Mr. R's political-fishing trip out

his former campaign catchea. Some
who have feined

idea the presi
dent may find
- 11 3 the run smaller

A man whose
business has kept
him on the road
in the farm belt
for the past three
months (and his
viewpoint checks
fail Mallon
with other available non-political
agents), believes the leader will find
the situation like this:
His hold on the western people.
particularly the farmers, is still
strong, but weakening. He would
undoubtedly carry the west today
but not with anything like the ma
jorities of last November.
The mental attitude of the busi
ness man makes business. His op
timism or pessimism determines
what he buys, how many people
he hires, how much expansion or
contraction he plans.
Another non-political traveler.
just returned from 40,000 miles of
criss-cross flying throughout the
west and south, contacting bust
ness men, has discovered the bus!'
ness man is thinking about three
things, and only three things, in
the following order:
1. Taxes.
2. Increased costs of raw ma
terials. 3. Labor.
The list is most significant to
Mr. Roosevelt for what It does not
contain. Omitted is war, the su
pre me court or politics.
The political-fishing nature of
the trip makes it all-Important to
everyone. The President is believ
ed to be bent on finding out if he
can catch sufficient enthusiasm for
his defeated congressional program
to warrant calling an extra session
of congress.
(Of course, this Is general de
duction. His personal purpose is
locked in his mind, which has not
been unusually communicative late
ly. Yet nearly everyone In Wash'
ington credits him with that in
tention.)
The trouble with this method Is
that crowds do not accurately ex
press popular opinion. Nor do the
political flies which usually swarm
about presidential trains, looking for
patronage honey and photographs
to snap their pictures In the lime
light
For instance, on Mr. R.'s trip to
Texas last summer, he flaw the
wrong people and came back with
some enthusiastic ideas which did
not pan out. Also. If the sage far
mer's wife from Watervllle, Kansas,
comes down to meet the train and
applauds the president, it may not
necessarily mean she Is for the
Wagner hour law or Justice Black.
Few presidents have been able
to see through the delusions which
always hover over presidential
trains, better than Mr. Roosevelt,
but it is almost impossible for any
president to get the whole truth.
The Wagner housing administra
tors are having a hectic time in
side, trying to get started. No ros
es will bloom around those model
homes for a long time. PWA offi
cials are making an honest effort
but something has happened to the
cooperative enthusiasm of govern
ors and mayors. The answer:
When Washington officials had
free money to give away, the gov
ernors and mayors broke all rec
ords to get some of it. Now that
they have to put up part of the cash.
none has used an airplane to the
capitol.
It just shows Santa Claus would
not be the man he is today, if he
had tried to collect contributions
from his beneficiaries.
(So far 21 states have passed leg
islation necessary to proceed with
housing projects. Three have leg
islation to permit buildings In one
city. Detroit in Michigan, Milwau
kee in Wisconsin and San Antonio
in Texas. Tax exemption provi
sions have to be met by seven and
the rest still have action to take.)
One of the new deal's biggest fail
ures, administratively, may never
be known outside, that Is, officially.
Mr. Roosevelt is trying to do his
own house -cleaning quietly on it.

Brothers Held

Rodes K. Myers, chief of Denhardt's
counsel, time to return the gen

Wright said the grand Jury wouin

the Garrs rests with the grand

sent to Shelbyvllle last night on
request of Myers but tliat he could
not take charge of the case.
"I will render any assistance to 0

Myers fled in another direction and
