totoa i UT OUR WAY LAND DAILY Ti Learn By Mistakes t . • t * P U iH Shtmld mistakes discourage us! Nttl They are to he expected. If we are of the right sort we will learn through odr mistakes. Those who have attained fame havg made many mistakes. A largo part of their education whs se­ cured through information acquired as a result of their errors. ‘ Bead books of all kinds that dwell upon the subjects that especially interest yon. Do not rush through them, read Blowly, digest what you read. Follow the reasoning of the author. Cheek Up his reasoning with gout own. Note carefully where you differ from him. You thus make the author*» con­ clusions your own. .--w. But in developing self-confidence avoid self-con­ ceit One wjbo thinks he knows it all is usually an ignoramus of the shallowest sort. Recdgnise your own faults and failures. Question yourself as you would a student you are endeavoring to teach. Study and analyze yourself. Edison said on one occasion, “ If a man were to devote his life to the study of one particular spec­ ialty, he would only acquire about one-hundredth part of the attainable knowledge in reference there­ to.” , i There is never a time when there is a legitimate excuse for being “ swelled up” with the importance of your knowledge. You will never learn so much that you cannot learn more. You cap never dig the well of knowledge to dhe bottom. In fact, at the, very best you wilt okly make an. impression here and there. * ' /i Bnt modesty of this sort should not tete& Jb with the aequiremfent of a degree of self-eonfldenoe Quit will satisfactorily serve your purpose. Self-confidence that is blind and unrestrained is of but little valued It infest ba intelligently guided. That is why you should develop your reasoning ca­ pacity. You should kftBW what yoft You should be able to test ofet your particular conclusion in the fires of experidiee, sad if you prove your viewpoint in this manner, you are on safe-ground. State Finance Our state government will have to have $1,500,- 000 a year more revenue from 1929 on than that now available. Defeat of state income tax had nothing to do with this future lack of revenue. Defeat of the new tax base is responsible. Temporarily, the state will be able to get by, as a paper deficit of considerable size can be carried, with emly occasional necessity to go on a warrant basis, and that for only a short period twice a year. Tbe year 1928 will witness resort to this expedient, which will have to be repeated annually thereafter until provision is made for reducing the deficit Bnt from 1929 on the shortage of revenue will be so great that huge reductions will have to be made in expense. The reductions are not only inadvisable; they are intolerable, or will prove to be to the public. If attempted, there will b$” A reaction. Yet they must be attempted and made unless new revenue is found. The problem of finding this new revenue is acute, and demands solution. • Thoughtful people will realise the necessity of meeting the situation. It will be easy to cry “ econ­ omy,” but that cry will not suffice. The Voter will present constructive suggestions as to how the situation may be met; and will discuss other suggestions as they are Advanced. We now say this: If a sound public opinion is not built up, an unsound solution will find popular favor and will prevail. Do not dismiss the subject with a smile, or you will be sorry later.—Oregon Voter. Do Not Tax Visitors While there is no mention in the petition for an election on tbe question of a flat $3 automobile license fee of a subsequent raise iu the gasoline tax from 3 to 6 cents in order to make up the huge loss in revenue which would follow the reduction in fee, it is understood this is the idea. Oregon is the central state on the Pacific coast and we do not want a 6 cent gasoline tax in com­ parison to 3 cents in the states to the south and north of us. This would be putting an-added tax on our visitors, which we would consider as any­ thing except diplomatic. Living in Oregon has many advantages and Oregonians should be willing to pay for this privil­ ege, instead of asking our visitors to shoulder the bRfdan which we consider is our own. . ------------------- ' O , blew *1 m Memy P«M end the .t n » «tap- pad fussing that Ireland would break loose.
