SUNDAY. MAY iU lti , HOW IT BAFPJttiKD. - The outstanding feature of Friday's primary election is the fact that Just a week before the votes were counted Governor OTcott took a spade, vest out In ths yard and due a hole and buried himself In it for that was ubstaAtialiv'the result of his ami Klen proclamation. 1 v Prior to hki spectacular denuncia tion of the Ku Ktux K'.an. the gov crnor had'; what the Vlauglly Inclined would term, a copper-riveted cinch. He possessed at the beginning a cer tain following and t is probable that this following was mil with him a week before. ths election. " Meanwhile an unusually large, number of oppon emi for the nomination had split his opposition Into many fragments. But his Klan proclamation changed the whole situation within an hour after Its" publication. It crowded all the . old Issues off the stage and raised a new issue In their stead. In so doing; It took from all the 'aspirants say ' 3ir. Olcott, and air. Hall their follow-1 ings and ranged them on one side- or the other of the new Una of cleavage l that had beep drawn. Ths other can- dldates made hardly a showing In the J Sf&;jf$kan&ypi-ti jsot k fair re - flection, on. their real standing' under normal circumstances. Their follow- lnga were simply stampeded overnight br the new development that followed the governor's proclamation. r .Jh.e .remarkable align man t behind two candidates' out of the six that tops; place. In he week preceding; the election was due without a doubt to the fact that the governor badly over stated the .facts in his now celebrated denunciation of the Ku Klax Klan. He, charged that preseni me nace . to . .the peace . yind. tran qujlJty of the state, whereas everyone knows it is not.. . li (here Is any me nace in the Ku Klax Klan in Oregon, it Ilea In. Its face-covering regalia. w hlch. tempts, outaidefs to .'use . the Klan disguise for their own purposes'. and not in its membership, which for the most part is composed of earnest and sincere,, citizens. The . public recogiiiaftd.prompUy, enough , the fact that the governor had overdrawn the case, and tho result was that thou sands of voters rushed to the Hall banners who would otherwise, .have neen louna.eisewnere on. election oay. . As for the tax reduction Issue which si an en put so, Draveiy in Uie begin ning. It has been lost In the foe. It waa an economic Issue, and therefore inclined to be dry and uninteresting. Neither was it a sharply drawn per sonal issue, for all the candidates were advocating economy. Thus when the Issue of ths Klan, with oil. Its possi bilities for sharp division and strong personal opinion, was thrown sud denly into the primary arena, there vaa .witnessed ihe phenomenon of a sudden alignment of the partisans of all six cnadldatea behind the two fore-, most figures In the new situation pre gon politics has witnessed few inci dents mors surprising and dramatic. ih JifHEIMTAXCIS TAX KB -Is there any way to raise niore fed eral Income, or to raise a substantial part of the present federal Income, Without imposing an intolerable bur den on the nation? The farm and labor organizations think there Is. They see in inheritance taxes an al most untapped governmental re source. Accordingly they are urging action on the La Follette-Fear bill; and the. senate and house leaders, though without any enthusiasm, are preparing to consider It. ' "t This hill. Its advocates aay,wonla ylel4 at least 11,(100,000,000 a year. That looks like an exaggeration but ft would certainly produce funds In plenty If adopted as it stands and en forced literally. - It provides for a rapidly . progressive inheritance tax n large fortunes, with a .maximum ' rat of et' per 'cent on those above MO.OOO.OO. Moreover, it seeks to avoid a loophole left by many state Inheritance tax laws by levying alini lar .rates ori transfers of property emona? the living. Many big In herttanc has evaded, taxation by such transfer before the owi The rich, of eourseWlll ftghtiKls law. The rich, howeverr are a minor ity. If tt, or some similar measure, Is not enacted. It will be because of the Indifference or sense of fatrn of the majority who, by such a d vice, might conceivably shift a good deal of their present tax burden onto the wealthy "minority. ' Certainly of all forms of taxation. Inheritance taxes are usually found the least un popular a fact which may or may not be a conclusive argument for them. ' SOFT DIUN1U .. . After reading a lengthy, article In the Literary IMgeat on T'he Food Value, of Soft Prinks.1' the Avrttg reader com to the conclusion that nhore ain't none.", PtmU julc are useful when they are real fruit Juice and not artificial concoctions. Sugar has a certain food vnlue. ' Rut there doesn't seem to be enough real nutri ment In alt the soft drinks, one might reasonably wish to partake of during a summer to make one square meat.' 1 This Is not necessarily any argu ment against soft drinks. Why should they have food value? That Isnt what one takes them for. . If they are cool and wet and made of materials which are not, in themselves harmful that is to say. , If they quench thirtt tind tnste good and minister 'to comfort without upsetting the digestion or jangling the nerves or starting any bad habits. Isn't that enoughy ' j ', ' . The Ice cream soda or sundae with real fruit and nuts In It, and made of real .milk or cream. Is in a different class. ' That Is food. But as for gin ger ale and sarsaparilla and carbo nated grape juice sufficient are they unto themselves' Nobody wants them to.be as nourishing as a beef steak dinner. ' A pleasant tinkling sound as they approach, a pleasant taste, a lingering- sense of coolness and refreshment 4h scientist and dietitian who isn't satisfied with that much doeent deserve any. ; H PATE.VT ABISES One of the curious things about the American practice regarding- patented inventions is the large number of pat ents taken out at Washington and never utilised In this country. F6r sign inventors evidently seek such patents in order to protect themselves against possible American Imitation er competition.. The berraans espe cially have done this.. American In ventors, after patenting their mven- ftlons at home, often obtain duplicate patents In other countries and then do their manufacturing: abroad, to get the benefit of cheap foreign labor. In either case the United mates loses. Efforts are being- made to remedy the situation. Many American manu facturers, arguing that the United States patent office, being maintained the expense of the nation, ought to be used for the national benefit, are urglng'correctlre legislation. The measure, they favor would "give 'the owner of a patent two years' grace, and then. If It were shown thai he was, manufacturing his Invention' In foreign country and not In the United States, would grant a license to some body else to use .ft.in this country. It looks like a sensible thlner to do. England has been' doing1 K for some years. RECOGNIZING MKJUCO John Und, who; says the New Tork World, ''was hot conspicuous as a con ciliator when former president' Wil son aent him to Mexico City during the Huerta regime."' Is urging now that the United States accept at their face value the ' assurances of Iresl denthreg-on, and' recognize Vhe Obre- ivn Buvvrjiuieni bi once. Mr. Lind says the present Impasse Is due to conditions for which neither President Obregon ' nor ' Secretary Hughes is responsible, and It "re quires good common sense and plain wood nelghborlfnes rather than any nice application of the points of In ternational law." It seems that President Carranza gave au sorts of fine verbal assur ances Uiat titles of American citizens acquired in Mexico would be respect ed and their property not confiscated, and then when his government was formally recognized by the United States on those terms, he promptly TWO-EDITORIAb . repudlsted his , promises.' President Harding has' been holding1 off lest the same thing happen again. Mr, I.lnd suggests, however, that If Obregon failed to live up to ' his promises, America could withdraw her recogni tion and let matters take their course. Possibly that Is the solution. Mex ico under Obregon Is quits a different country from Mexico under the weak Carranza or the swash-buckling Huerta. Obregon has proved hlmseli a strong man and a capable one. Under these circumstances, It may be safe to take a chance.. 1 KU EDES A MYTHT ( An InteresUnepariatlon of the Darwin controversy stirred" up re cently by Mr, Bryan is the question of thi Oarden of Eden raised hy a minister Who called the Bdew story MORNING a "fairy tale." A newspaper, under taking to find out what the ministry In general thlnka about the matter. Inquired whether or not they outlaid ered the Kden story a Swyth, and thereby' hangs unolher 'tale, should Interpret the book of tJ en os Is as the statement Of early men as to how the world began." snya one, "but 1 don't consuier the story myth.'1 "I shouldn't call the story a myth." says another, "but rather folklore.' The tlartlen of Kden story Is a le gend says a third. Anothor ex plains: Fairy tale' and 'myth ns applied to Oenesls are unfortunate term a These are sacred stories handed down from an Immature period of the world. At one time the Harden of Kden story was a most sacred revela tlon. Hut with a larger discovery of the truth has come a lumr revela tion, so we ftel th.it the old stories do not adequately explain every thing. And finally this from other minister: The book of Oenesls Is a mythical and poetical statement of a primitive people of their conception of the or! gin of the world. I don't think the Garden of Kden story Is entirely lack ing in historical background. Indeetl. I think there Is some historical back ground for all the Oenesls stories," Here at last we find a minister who seems to recognise the real meaning of the wont "myth." According to the Century Dictionary, Its fundamen tal meaning Is this: 1 A traditional story in which the ope rations of natural forces and occur rences in human hWory ar repeated as the actions of Individual living be ing. -especially of men, or of I mux to rt ry extra-human beings act inn like men; a tale handed uown from prim itive times, ami In form hiHioricel, but in reality involving wlemwitta of early religious views, aa vtnipeoliusT the origin of thins, the powers of nature a their work I nit s. the rise ofiasil- tu Lions, and the like; s legend of c mogony, of gods and heroes, and of animals possessing wondrous gifts. Tnus. tnougn the issue la by no. mesne settled, at least the meaning of a common word is made plain, and that is something. , It Is now n order to hear from Mr. Bryan about It.

It is lather a uurstlmi to dccMn what rhitle postlon they shoulil occupy In the llt. There are many who lake the puMtthm that first niiM tuage fai in loans aio based uu th very bate of all values -the earth Itself -ami are a form of securlyl with the minimum of fluctuation and practically mm destructible. Taking into oulltia lion strength of ho une.li lying value and interest return they aro them, lore undmihtetlly one uf the premier Investment securities. l et us unlit consider the funda mental tv.jiiii vtnenls laiil ilntn In my previous article as tu what mnstlu lute the pre 'requisites of a primaty invrstuieut should (misscm nil of the following requirement a: I .J fety of 1'rlncipal. 1. t'ertalnly of Income. 3. ttuta of income, 4. l.egalt'y of lasuo, 6, tSubllliy of Market Trice, a. Marketability, t. Appreciation. X lUveralflcatlou. The equal no i In which farm mort itases posseas these requirements as cumiMtreil with other Inveemntt se curliles, heretiifot-o menllourtl tit litis series of articles would naturally fit the relative position of this tvpe of Investment In any dtvenilfu-d llt uf Inveatmeutt net) ton or it the tup. At any rate, there can be no qtieetlon as to the value of first Hen well secured mortvatfea tui Improved farm land as a primary Investment for the lillo funds of Individuals and for the em ployment of funds left In trust; as for instance, the money belonging to minors, Incumnotenl persons and other trust estates, and tt few emnirU Ilea of this tyk of investments should bo found In the safely deposit bos of -very peron having the core and ci tody of funds of this nature or, Ufr that umtlrr. idle imutey betotiglng to any Individual One of the objection might, of course, be where the trui teeshlp extended over a long period of years and as farm mortgages are generally made on a thrwo to flti year basis It would nercnwltnte re investment of the fuuds at the ma tnrlty at the loans so purohaeed. However, lit mtwt oasee this would not be any very convldembls I neon vvntence. . . ess Analysinc the second requirement with reference to certainty of Income. I bellev that the certainty uf Income from farm loans will compare vary favorably with any other Investment yielding a rata of income comparable with the return from this type of securities It true, however, thai occasionally, due to bad roads whleh might prevent a farmer from hauling his grain to market, or due to a tcm pornry drop in the market and by reason Ihereor making It not ueslr able to market fat cattle or hogs, c farmer might sometimes be a few days lata In meeting his annual emlannual Interest on his farm loans. Hut It has been mv experience more often than otherwise that the farmer has paid hie Interest a few days ahead of time more often than a few days late. Merloe preparation is usually made by the farmer, his wife and his family to have the In terest on the farm loan ready to pay over the day the amount falls due. The certainty of Inrome might not be quite so pronounced as In the rase nf municipal bonds but the Inrouvenj ience occasioned thereby would In moet raeea be negligible. 1 might tnierpoee what would amount to this slight variation In In come from farm (nana by saying that there are a few cases on record where perfectly so I von l cities have allowed their Interest coupons to be returned with the notation thereon "Not sum- cierit funds, due In mrt ensee to thd failure of the city treasurer of the rlty In question In not placing the money In the hands of the fiscal agent in time to meet Interest pay ments on the bonds, or from some other slight oversight. It Is s mm rase, however, where a city allows the interent on Its bonded Indobted nes to default. Tho other elements of weakness In farm loans when considered as n pr! nmry Investment Is their lack nf ready marketability as compared with government or municipal bonds. In a measure this Is one of the element which causes the yield on farm mort gages to show a slightly hlifhor rate than government or municipal bonds To manv Investor, this Is not a ser ious defect and tho difference In the net yield return to tho investor Is sufficiently largo to more than com pensate for the slight dlfferenco In the marketability.' , While It Is iruo that farm mort gages nnt not have the same wide snlo ns do government nnd municipal bonds, still they con stltute ona of tho highest classes of collateral on which to borrow money. Most banks nnd trust companies aro glad to lend on collateral nf this nature when Un met In t cash la noeiled by the Invest or. Therefore, aside from n slight weakness In certainty of Income and ready marketability, mortgages on well Improved farm loans have all tho csyentlnl requirements necessary to plueo them In tho class of primary Investments, It was my original Intention In con flno my stntemnnts to dognmtli rnther than nrgutnnctativo statements and I fool euro most of my readers will excuse me If I presumo to pro sent arguments in favor of fnrm mortgages. Farm mnrtKases aro one of tho fow lnvorttmont thnt originate at noma, and I reel I will hn pardoned In cnlling attention of tho Investor to this particular class of Investment on tho grounds of parnulxlns a home product. Then again It In one nf tho few investments thnt tho Investor mny exorcise his right and prlvllego of seeing In its completeness. In o tli or words, thn prospective Investor may ana his security sprond out be fore him. The Invustor may exorcise nt least two of ills six son so s, that of seeing and fooling, tho sensn of ford ing being nbllity to ncttinlly walk over tho security Itsolf, On the other hnnd, In tho ensn nf most bonds wo gnt nly the son so of seeing In Ihn abstract rather than In reality.
