The original idea of gov eminent was that the legislature should make the laws, the judiciary interpret them and the executive en force them. The veto power was given as a safety valve to prevent ex plosions, the framers of the constitu tion being fearful ofsome mad act of the majority. Now the veto act is used with a persistence and frequency of which the fathers never dreamed To even up matters the senate is en croaching on the powers of the execu tive. Every appointment is exam ined with microscopic intensity, and rejection is about as easy as confirm ation. Thus while the executive is becoming the law making power, the legislative is becoming the executive as far as appointments to office are concerned. According to John W. Kelley, Salem correspondent to the Oregonian, the state assessment machine is in doubt as to whether or not they will make a real assessment of property this year because the millage increase allow ance has been increased from 3 to 6 per cent. That is the attitude the bootlegger takes. If you don't ap prove of a law, why obey it ? If the Monmouth Normal had been given its proportionate increase as valua , tions in the state have increased, it would not have been necessary to go to the legislature to ask for extra maintenance this biennium. It is admitted the recent legisla ture in quality and character ranked as high as any we have had in recent years but its personnel emphasized the trend now conspicuous in all pol itical activity the development of the personal idea in public service. Since people have repeatedly in sisted they will not pay legislators anything more than bare living ex penses at a very modest standard, it has naturally developed that the initi ative that selects men for this work and sends them to Salem is some cause that has an ax to grind. It may be an institution, a group of farmers, an organization of some kind, fraternal, social or otherwise; it may be owners of timber or manu facturers or speculators, people inter ested in waterways, automobile regu lation, highways and a variety of other things. All work and scheme to get representation in either house and influences such as this supply the urge that inducts our lawmakers into their jobs. Such influence is not venal. It is public spirited. The boost, the uplift idea, the notion of doing something for your -county, section, or the vari ous moves in which one is interested supplies the incentive which overlooks salary and inspires action. It was this personal attitude toward state development that defeated the tithing bill in the last day's session of the state senate and which, by denying funds that might have been acquired thereby, brought the building pro gram to naught. This senate group was interested in highway construc tion at the sacrifice of other state progress., In these days of blocs of various sorts we must pause a bit to see how far it has carried us into that idea of personal or sectional in politics. It has long been a commonplace that the popular notion of levying taxes is an adjustment by which some one else will pay them. The politician fig ures out the best way is to take as much money as possible from as few persons as possible. This is sup posed to have the least reaction at the time the votes are counted. This point of view does little justice to a spirit of fair play in the average v.oter. When the group idea gets to work ing right it has a fanatical defense of anything it seeks from the public as representative of progress and development while there is just one word to describe all other financial objects, ' that . being extravagance. A good example is a certain Salem clique which is perfectly sure that a $600,000 office building should be erected there as a public necessity and $200,000 spent in developing prison labor, the flax industry and keeping two Salem mills running is progress, while money spent else where in the state is everything vicious, including mayhem. What an uproar there was when the house was passing the joint ways and means appropriation bills! The legislators were classed as dubs, mo rons and woodenheads because they passed bill after bill without question Yet these bills had been thoroughly gone over. The budget commission, consisting of governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, had looked after their own departments, the gov ernor's office suffering most probably because he was in a political minority Everything else in sight was slashed vigorously and hard. Then the leg islative ways and means committee came along and they evened up mat ters as far as the preferences of the commissioners were concerned, Then why this uproar, these raucous roars of extravagance? It just seems to be a part of the game. TAX LAW WITH TEETH The people of Oregon will be greatly interested in the application of the principles underlying a new tax law, known as House bill No. 72, enacted at the recent session of the legislature. This bill gives to the state tax commission supervisory control over the assessment and, tax laws of the state, county assessors and county boards of equalization, and was re commended by the tax investigation committee appointed under authority of the legislature of 1925. Under the terms of the act the state tax commission has authority , to fix the valuations of all property in the state. The avowed purpose of the measure is to secure uniformity of assessments. That there is teeth in the law is evidenced by an examination of its dividuals, partnerships, companies, provisions. It is made the duty of every county assessor to require in associations and corporations to pro duce books and records or to furnish under oath, information concerning their capital, funded or other debt, current assets and liabilities, value of property, earnings, operating or other expenses. Information obtain ed by public officials must not be divulged. 1 Any aggrieved taxpayer has the right of appeal to the state tax com mission, as well as to the circuit court. Public officers whose duties relate to the assessment or equallia- tion of assessments of property for taxation who fail to comply with the provisions of the act or with any or der of the tax commission may be hailed into the circuit court, which may compel them to conform to the detailed provisions of the law.. The new law is revolutionary to the extent that all acts of local assess ors and county boards of equaliza tion are subject to review by the tax commission, upon Mlie initiative of the commission. The law carries) the emergency clause and will be effect ive as to the assessment of property for the current year.

The trouble is: We don't have time. We don't have time to get ac quainted with those who live around us and we don't have time to get ac quainted with ourselves. Just keeping the machinery of life going takes all our time. The two sides of our lives are the material and the spiritual. We can cave in on the spiritual side easier than we can on the material side. We are propped up on that side with pointed props. We have to eat, and we have to pay for what we eat. The earnest creditor and tho importunate landlord dogs our steps. Life is real and life is earnest around the first of each month. If we shirk our responsibilities on that side of life we come up against hard actuality with a bang. Mater ialism is not a theory; it is an actually- The consequences of shirking on the other side of life the spiritual- are not so soon apparent, but they are equally disastrous. Those who become shallow and cold, "And he whose soul is flat the sky Will cave in on him by and by." The thing we need most is time--time to discover ourselves; time to think our own thoughts; time to stop before we have to decide; time to think before we say the biting word; time to put ourselves in the other per son's shoes before we make our con demnation; time to romp with the fairies of childhood in the turmoil of maturity. Time is what we need most of all. And more than any of these we need to visit our own souls, our City of Refuge in times of trouble. ". .. in its lonely moonlight,' lives the soul.
