SUNDAY, OCTOBER II, IMS - WILL ROADS BE OBSOLETE? j .In the 40-odd years from the end of the Civil war to 110, the United States built the finest railroad sys tern in the world, and this fine (system of railroads tied the whole country together so closely that what otherwise might have been a loose aggregation of semi- inde- pendent states Is today a closely knit nation with a government that Is becoming constantly more cen tralized. Railroads played a pow erful part a dominant part In Its development. ' - Along about 1910 the automo bile passed from the status ot a toy to that of a real factor In the transportation situation, and from that time on we began to build more . Improved . 'highways and fewer miles of , railroad- ; Bo rapidly has this movement grown that while the nation and the' Va rious states and counties are now .spending hundreds of millions for .better roads the Eug-ene-KUamath Falls cut-off la the only major railroad building project under Sway in the United States. The au tomobile and the paved highway' are knitting the country even, morej 'Closely tog-ether than the railr ',were able to do. .- ..'! '. We are watching now. the 'growth of a new transportation (System the airship. "This new system la at present In the .form- tlve stage, and Its accompllah- ents are confined - chiefly to itunts that are designed more to how what can be done than what t Is profitable to do. For example. squadron of planes Is now wait- ding In Eugene to-refuel In the air father planes that' are planning a ion-stop flight from the Canadian 0 the Mexican border. This flight ill serve no .present commercial rpose, but like others of a similar ture It will prove what alrnlanea an do. Will the airplane. In the fairly Immediate future, succeed the au tomobile to the extent that tho au tomoblle has supplanted the rail. road? a Shall we expend billions i tor improved highways only to dls f k i . . . . . NOT A BAD LAW It Is probable that more tommy' rot has been talked about the state Income tax that Is to be voted on next month than has been talked about any other measure ever sub mitted to the people of Oregon. Its opponents have thrown about It a smoke screen of mlspreresenta tion and mendacious misinforms' tlon, and its supporters have per sistently claimed for It merits that it does not and cannot possess. It Is not surprising it, between the two, the average voter la In a mud died state of mind. To the damp accompaniment of bucketaful of crocodile tears. It Is proclaimed that the Income tax will, hit the wage earner and the small salaried man. To be sure It will If they are reasonably pros' parous and can afford to be hit. An unmarried person, for instance, who receives a net ' Income of StOOd will be assessed $10. A married man with three dependent children who receives a net Income of $4000 will pay the huge tax of $8. Why shouldn't he pay that much? Can't he afford to? It is urged that a state Income tax will keep people and capital out of Oregon. Is the man with a wife and three ' children and a net Income of $4000 going to be kept out of Oregon by a puny tax of $8? We need people to buy and de velop our farms, our timber, our mines and our city property. Are such prospective citizens not much more likely to be kept out of Ore gon- by the present tax' system, which loads 76 per cent of the total tax burden upon real estate? It is objected that the 'proposed income tax Is complicated. Pos sibly, but so is the federal Income' tax. It is unfortunately Impossible to levy and collect an Income tax without a certain amount of com plication. But because It Is com plicated no one proposed to repeal tne rederal tax on .incomes, for It Is generally admitted that Income the best measure of ability to far Inferior to the beat that can be seen In America In costuming and scenery. The altuatlon 1 slml lar In Berlin, where the crowds flock to see cheap comedy and .the sentimental In the drama, .while the stale theatre, reproducing the classics, Is seldom crowded." He Is not at all Impressed by German stage art. ' "So far aa drama la concerned, I think It no exaggeration 'to say that America has become the cul tural center ot the world. Save for a few men and women, we are not yet writing superior drama, but even the work of European playwrights Is receiving Its best presentation and patronage on this side of the Atlantic." I 'cover that the airship Is a more Inefficient Instrument of transporta-' ; iion man tne automobile or the J'truck? , , Offhand, one is Inclined to an rawer emphatically in the negative. .The airship both the lighter and jthe heavier than ' air., types has fyet certain- manifest weaknesses that hamper its usefulness. It Is - ekpensive to operate and the fac (tor of safety la ; under-developed. 5. Ii is not as yet profitable to employ '.the airship for the ordinary uses of commerce, and besides people hesl J tate to trust their lives to It. ijj But here are some significant . facts: The other day the Huge Shenandoah, the navy's Zeppelin, Ttraveled a mile on a arniinn i line. A few days later Lawrence PBperry completed a 2000-mile trip in his tiny "fUyver" airplane, which haa a wing spread of 20 gfeet, getting about double the mile , age from his fuel that la secured thy tha average small automobile. i This feat Is said to have Impressed ' Henry Ford to the extent that he (calculated that by ; quantity pro- due tlon engines for such a plane eould be built for $50 each. 1 Driving the huge 8henandoah a mile with a gallon of gasoline and t getting with an air "flivver" twice f the fuel mileage that can be made by a small automobile are feats ? that mean something, for In the I long run It is the cheapest method 5 ot transportation that will prevail. The airship, it must ' be1 remem ftbered, needs neither paved high i way nor steel rails. If it can be P operated more cheaply than either Railroad trains or automobiles, the EaZJuHl ..tJBajaail I IBJ a. roads ! pay. 80 much for the misrepresenta tions of the objectors. On the other side of the fence, the sup porters of the Income tax many of them, at least are. proclaiming loosely that it will cut the farm ers' taxes In half. That Is the silliest kind' of balderdash. The income tax Is not expected to raise much more than a million dollars, and lopping' only a million dollars off the sum of all the taxes levied n property In Oregon Is not going to effect much of a reduction lri the case of the individual taxpayer. It is probable that such reduction as might be effected would be hardly noticed. The truth is that the Income tax we are to vote on is a fair, mild and reasonably well considered law. It will hit no one harder than he can stand. It will keep no one away who really wants to come to Oregon. It Is no more complicated than the involved nature of Income taxation makes necessary. ' On tne other hand. It will not bring about large reductions in the taxes paid by owner of property and all who vote for it with that expectation will be disappointed, It is merely a step In the right di recUon-r-a beginning on the task of. equalising the tax burden be tween the owner of tangible prop erty, who now bears approximately three-fourths of the total load, and the non-property-owning earner or receiver of a good Income who now pays little or no state or local tax. It must be generally admit ted by fair-minded persons that that is a task that (Tught'to be un dertaken. Rl'SSIA QN VP-GRADE Bad as Russia's political pre dicament Is, Its economlo situation seems to be Improving rapidly. John F. Sinclair, an American economist,, writing from personal observation and Inquiry, reporta remarkable progress. Food crops are large. Cotton Is up to about two-thirds ot pre-war production. Coal haa reached one third of pre-war production, and transportation Is at about the same level. Many of the Important In dustries are making a profit. More remarkable is the progress of the government toward paying its own way. In 1920, says Mr. Sinclair, Russia raised less than 30 per cent ot her expenses, borrow ing or issuing flat money for the rest. In 1021 the government raised 45 percent. In 1922 the government figure rose to 60 per cent, and this year It may reach 85 per cent. Beginning with 1925, the commissioner -of . finance -expects to make recelpta balance ex penditures. ' ' The present showing is better than several other European coun tries are making. France does not appear to be doing so well. Is It possible that the Russian govern ment, with all ith vagaries and sins, Is going to set an example of budget-balancing to the rest of Europe? ' It was reported by Zov'a ownor the other day that he hud con traded skin trouble and might not be able to run a good race.' Those who fell for the tlt and changed their betting odds doubtloss have their own opinion of where; the "skin" trouble was. A member of (tin Jury that , Is trying the nauseous Stokes rase Injured hla leg the other day.

THE BEST DRAMA .Americans, accustomed to gsrdlng the American stage rather cheap and' tawdry, may cheer up.

But America has great numbers of names which belong to no language. .

One of these courtesies la spelling cor rectly the names of the people It deals with. Spelling a name in correctly is Irritating to any per son. Besides the personal aspect of the matter, the business aspect Is important. Signatures are means ot Identification In every transac tion, small or big.

Housing experts advise families to gain possesion ot a house as soon aa they are able to do so. It Is worth risking something for, if prospects aie favorable at alt However,' one should use common sense about considering all sides of the question before one gets Itno It. There are young eople get ting a start In business who can muke better use of their money by Inventing it in their business, to build the business up to hotter support the home. The house chosen should not bo too expensive or mako too much of a strain In upkeep or payments. It should be a property which will continue to be desirable and not decrease in value. It Is a good plan to oak the advice of friends of good business Judgment. Unless a porson has formed the habit of saving and haa laid by enough to mako a substantial first payment, he Is apt to find diffi culty In mooting regular pay ments. It one has a good Income with prospects of Its continuance for several years, he would be Just ified in agreeing to make pay ments somewhnt larger than his present rent. The amount put in to savings can go Into this fund and some sacrifices In other ex penses can uBuatry bo made. One should tnke Into considera tion the family Income, living ex penses, as food, clothing, educa tion, recreation, and contribution to worthy causes; the chance of Ill ness or a "rainy day." It might be that the need for an auto, piano, or Bonding a child to college would be more important than tho Immediate buying of a house, These things should be thought out In advance so that you will not be dlssuppolnted after you have gone Into the deal. In estimating how much the reg tilar payments can be, the buyer should not forget to figura on In terest on tho principal, taxes, up koep, and Insurance which he has not had to pay as a renter. Some families, who have lived 9n an apartment, overlook tho Item of fuel In heating the new house.
