One could wish that the bond election for the term inal land issue mittht have been held earlier than mid AuguRt, but that feeling is due only to the fact that we are all set and "rarin to go." Tho election, of course, must take its reirular scheduled legal course. But' if the issue bo favorable, tho pschycologicul effect upon pro cress hero will becomo immediately apparent. It will aceelerato the city's forward pace. Business in all lines will feel tho impetus. Building and real estate activity will increase. It has been estimated that Southern Pacific working forces hero will bo increased by approximately 1000 men with tho enlargement of the company's activities under tho terminal project. The families of theso men will bring the access of population well above 2000. And it will be a payroll population. Payroll people have money to spend.. To say thos things is not to indulge in roseate dreamings. We of Eugene .haven't timo to stop and dream. Thero is -work to do here a lot of it. But tho conditions are laid for big things. "Wo may as well take a look at them from time to time. Ours is a city with a destiny if wo seizo our opportunities. Wo move along. In Mellon's Bandwagon. A YEAR ago in the senate tho Mellon plan for in come surtax reduction was bitterly assailed by Senator Couzens, of Michigan, as nothing more or less than an attempt to favor tho rich. Since that timo Sen ator Coupons has studied tho whole subject of income taxation. Now ho has declared for surtax reduction to a point considerably below that ndvocated by Secretary of tho Treasury Mellon. "It doesn't make any difference whoso plan they call it," declares Senator Couzens. The senator's complete change of front has made tho national politicians gasp, and various motives aro attributed to him. Tho most plausiblo and likely one seems to bo that ho found himself mistaken. and is setting .himself right. For this ho is entitled to credit. Such a course takes courage Superficially, the Mellon plan lias appeared to a great many peoplo besides Senator Couzens as being designed to favor wealth, but careful scrutiny inevitably puts it in a different light. It is not a matter of thoory but one of demonstrated fact that sinco tho surtaxes went into effect, millions upon millions have been in vested in tax-exempt securities. This, of course, not only deprives the government of any revenue from the millions of incotno from such investments, but it also keeps tied up vast sums which otherwise would be in vested, at least in part, in producing industries. Aboli tion of tho surtax, Secretary Mellon has contended and Senator Couzens now ogrees, wiirgradually bring this money forth again and into investments of'o kind that will bo taxable and at the saino timo ho productive. Another recent notnblo convert to tho Mellon plan is Chairman Green, of tho houso ways and means com mittee. Liko Secretary Mellon, Senator Couzens and others of nolo who hnvo given serious study to the ques tion of income tnxation, ho has become convinced that heavy reduction of surtaxes points the most, and indeed tho only, practicable way to decreaso of the load on tho averago taxpayer and simultaneous increase of the incomo tax volume. One must agree that this is the moRt practicable way, unless ono holds abolition of tax exemption for any securities to bo practicable. But neither Senator Couzens, whoso own millions are said to bo invested almost wholly in tax-exempts, nor anv other jierson or official among those now wrestling with the incomo tax problem, seems to give serious consideration to the abolition of these exemptions. Perhaps tho obsta cles are too great. It. is a rather general conclusion among newspapers i mn commenting on tho Couzens change of heart that the""hi1. prospect lor luvtlier reduction or federal income taxes, s " "" " old it must he and along lines in accord with the views of Secretarvln,"r''' l,ai'1 f"r, Mellon, is enhanced thereby.

A New High School Course (Salem Capital Journal) A communication from Fnsndenfi, California, Informs newapapera that the high school of that city has estab lished a department of journalism, and Information is requested from ed itors as what to (each the pupils in n course entitled "A survey of tho field of journalism" so that students may become acquainted "with the oppor tunities, qualifications and necessary, preparation for various types of work In connection with newspapers, maga zines and publicity work as well as printing and advertising." Thus the high school has appro- printed another frill in its gnuiunt encroachment upon tho field of the university. It benta all how resource ful and enterprising the public school machine Is in originating new schemes for spending taxpayers money. No sooner is a new course established in the universities, than agricultural col leges duplicate it and high schools borrow It. The grammar Bchools will probably not he lagging fur behind in this age of progress, Thft fact that the tutors do not know what to toot only adds to the at tractiveness of tho journalistic course. It isn't necessary that they should know, for can't every hotly run n newspaper better than those engaged in the work? Ask nny render he knows. Hut the Instruction seems su perfluous for high school youth of today know everything under the sun. A Idealistic Resolution (Albany I lernld-Democrat) Tn their annual convention at Pal las, (irangera passed ft resolution condemning the practice of selecting officers of the legislature before the opening of the session. The resolution attacks the .present method under which legislator rally to tho support of the candidates for speaker of the house and president of the senate in exchange for strntegic committee ap pointment. The Ornngora mean well but they are too idealistic. The present system will continue because legislators are human; and as long aa human actions are motivated by the desire to get what one wants regardless of the other fellow, the legislative game will continue to bo played in tho same old way. LONE EX-VICE-PRESIDENT LIVING 8urvlvora of Second Place In Country's Government as Scarce as Former Presidents are By CHARLES P. STEWART INEA Service Writer) WASHINGTON, June 11. The presidential job often is referred to as a mankiller. The vice-presidency generally is considered something of a sinecure. It seems to have occurred to no body Ihnt, with Thomas II. Mar shall's death, the country has as many living ex-presidents left as ex-vice-presidents that is to say, one ofi each, respectively Chief JuBtice Taft and president Coolidge. ihis gives nso to the guess, either that the vice-presidency must be more' wearing thnu was popularly supposed, ! or that some deadly quality other. than the work involved lurks in both the chief magistracy and its under-1 study's post. 1 The fact is, though we have had what we called young presidents and vice-presidents, they were young only for tho high offices they held. After ft term or two, most of them veru pretty well on in this life nnd not far from tho getting off placo into the1 next. Ex-Vice-President Marshall was one of the most popular statesmen Washington ever has known. He never took himself too seriously, Affable and easy of approach, bis circlo of friends was enormous. His humor antiseptic but healing was delightful. His oft-quoted re mark during th post-war recon struction period, with everybody tell ing what the country needed, "It needs n good 5-cent cigar,'' was typ ical of Jihn, " Frivolous, as It fell on the ear, it w'as packed with meaning on analy sis, n meaning the man in the street could understand. Marshall wasn't the tpye of poli tician to wait until he knew "how the wind blew" before making up his mind. Ho made It up in advance and regardles-s of the wind, and revenUd it with ft frankness which ihorrificd his party's more cautionsly "inclined. He never broke himself of this habit. He never tried. breaks in China, the state department hopes for them like this last one, nt such places ns Shanghai. Peking is inland Surrounded there by Boxers, the foreigners were almost overwhelmed before relief cut its way through. Shanghai is only a few miles from the sea, on n big river. In it several warships always He, their several guns ready. Helped by a few landing parties, the "settlement's" volunteers could pot stand off enormous odds. At worst everybody could be taken off. 1'roperty loss is imaginable; not a massacre. A prolouged boycott would be worse. Foreign Shanghai depends n'u solutely on Chinese labor, industrial and domestic, common and skilled, manual and clerical. Equally it de pends on the ''hinterland'' for sup plies. , Cut off, it would 'be. paralyzed. Japan experienced a Chinese boycott a few years ago. There was a dirt pure. ; "We can lick you," warned the Japanese. "True," the Chinese agreed. "We won't fight, Neither wtll we trade with you." Nor would they. Japan forced some small transactions on a few com munities, but they amounted to noth ing. Her trade fallen flat, Japan had to make terms. Chinese resentment at foreign do mination in tho "treaty ports,' like Shnnghni, is natural On Chinese soil the foreigners havo their own cities, under their cwn governments; their own courts nnd their own laws, i dor which. Chinese are punished often unjustly, they consider. In their own country the Chinese are treated or ill-treated ns an in ferior people. Resisting inhuman commercial exploitation, as in this most recent instance they aro shot down in their own streets by for eigu policemen. "Holshevikil" cries the J5hs.ngb.ai fr.Teiirn nress.
