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

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

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

i way nor steel rails. If it can be

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? '

and an Inducement tu fix things
up. Those sections of a city where
home owners live are always the
must attractive, whether tho homes
bo large or small.
Homo ownership makes belter
citizens, slnco thosu attached to the
soli have a feeling of permanence,
nnd responsibility. They caro ubout
everything which concerns the
community and ara strung foi
iaw enforcement und willing to
help with enterprises of Improve
ment. Only tenants con pick up
and movo out easily If the envir
onment becomos undeslrublo. It la
the old story of "whose ox Is be
ing gored." If the ox belongs to
you, you care.
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.
While cnution Is advisable It Is
common experience that those who
undertake to buy their home, pay
ng for it In installments, are hap
plly surprised to find how rapidly
the family budget can be adaptod
to It and after ten or fifteen years
they have thels property out of
debt, while those who havo been
paying rent all those years have
nothing to show for It.
If one has a lorgor first payment,
he can generally arrange a lower
rata of Interest nnd more easy
payments. Twenty per cent of the
cost Is a good first payment, with
easy Installments following regu
larly . From one eighth to one
third of the family Income, fle
pending on circumstances. Is ' the
average amount paid regularly by
home-buyers.
