The Governor’s Recommendation
It is with considerable interest that we note
the diversity of opinion being presented by the
various newspapers of the state over Governor
Patterson’s recommendation of an income tax, and
the Tithing bill. We can not agree with those who
take a radically opposite' view to the Governor’s
plan of financing the state principally because they
have nothing constructive to offer in its place. And
that is where the difficulty oornes in.
What other way Is there for the state of Ore
gon to pay its just obligations, to keep the affairs
of the state running as they should without rolling
up a huge deficit that will have to be met at some
time? The people of the State with their demands
make it necessary that certain things be done. In
order to do these, it is necessary to incur certain
financial obligations that have to be met. It would
seem that those who are responsible should have to
pay the bill, and there is no other way of their
doing it, than by an income tax.
The Tithing bill is another matter, the self-
sustaining funds normally should not have to be
deprived of that which is rightfully theirs. How
ever, in a« emergency it is always necessary to re
sort to whatever methods are at hand to meet it.
If a per eentage of the various funds, of the state
will meet this emergency, then we can . see little
reason for raising an objection to it. Were it to be
come a permanent proposition then there might be
some basis for opposition. But so far the main
opposition seems to be that sueh an act might
cripple the highway department. While wo are
frant to confess that we know little of the work of
the highway commission, the indebtedness or the
necessary expense entailed in keeping our highways
in good shape, it would seem that with the exhorbit-
ant, and unjust automobile license tax {that this
state inflicts upon those who own an automobile, as
well as the gasoline tax, there should be sufficient
funds raised to spare a very small portiou of it,
for a short time, to assist other departments who
are not in the fortunate position of being able to
extract from the car owners the huge toll that is
demanded every year.
Once More Think of This
His Excellency, the Viscount Willington, gov
ernor-general of the Dominion of Canada, met Maj.
Thos. G. Lanphier in Ottawa, the capitol of the do
minion. Maj. Lanphier commands aviators of the
United States army stationed at Selfridge and he,
with eleven other aviators, flew to Ottawa.
to It is a great forward step in further cement
ing the past friendly relations hetween our two
countries,” said His Exellency.
‘‘We came here to pay a visit to our very dear
friends,” responded Maj. Lanphier,
Both were felicitious phrases, expressive of the
trust and confidence that has been hot ween the
countries for more than 100 years. Side by side the
two great nations have developed, with never a dif
ference that could not be settled by peaceable
methods; with never a difference, in fact, that even
brought a thought to either party of an appeal
to any other meanB. This is the answer to pessimists
who assert that two nations, contiguous, competitors
in many fields, must elash with force.

W e haven’t any idea that
the Knights of Columbus
care a whoop what we think
about It, but we feel they
are making a mistake with
their meetings and propa
ganda directed towards the
purely Internal affairs of
Mexico.
They propose to
raise a m illion dollars to
carry on this propaganda to
arouse the people of the
United States to resentment
against Mexico’s methods of
handling religious organiza
tions. Thia Is none of our
'business. Mexico Is violat
ing no treaty rights of
American citizens and she
has a perfect right to regard
the raising of a million dol

A Question of Ethics
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United
States shipping board, 1917,1919, has written a Iwok
about his exj>erienees in office, excerpts from which
are being offered hy a syndicate to the newspaper»
of this country—at a price. Thus Mr. Hurley place«
his name on a list where is is surprising to find it-^
the list of public employes who, after leaving public
office, have attempted to make money out of their
kBOwl«*dge of the public business.
Mr. Hurley worked for two years for the people
of the United States. He did not create his job;
they did- Their money financed huilt the shipping
hoard’s vessels. What Mr. Hurley learned iu hi«
official capacity is not Mr. Hurley’s private prop
erty; .it i» knowledge that Itebaga to the peoide of
this country, and if revealed at all, should I k * reveal-
od without oost to them.
It Would seem that the ethics of the situation
ought to be plain to Mr. Hurley, even If they were
not to many other servants of the United States
who have peddled tlieir social knowledge of Uncle
Kam’s business to the publishers at a fat price.
