Newspaper Page TextII I FOH STATEJNCOME TAX Mass Meeting to Be; Held '.' Here This Month 5 GOVERNOR MAY SPEAK , . . . Dr. 3amea S. GUbett, of Cnlvprelty ,. ,. of Oregon, Will Address ' Gathering 1 Plans for the holding of a maw meeting in tlila city to support tho state income tax, which will be the issue at the special election in No vember, were made yesterday at a meeting of tho executive committee of tho Pomona grange of La'ne county. The meeting will be held either October SO or 31, according to E. J. Ward, .master of the grange. The place has not yet been, selected," but it Wirprobably be. either the armory or tho rooms ofr the chamber ot commerce, the grangers report. , ,, ; jDr. James H. Gilbert head of the department of economics of the University of Oregon, who has been active in support of the in odme tax law, will Bpeak at the meeting. An Invitation will also be extended to Governor "Walter M. Pierce to speak at the gathering, according to the grange committee, who , report that expectations are that the chief executive will accept. Campaign Is Started The Pomona grange represents about 1600 farmers of Lane county arid the organization is making a strong campaign to have the refer endum on the tax measure defeat ed at the polls. Practically every grange in tho state has gone on record as favoring the income tax v law, Ahe grange officials report. ITh'e purpose of the mass meeting is to acquaint the voters with the provisions of the bill and to ex philn its advantages as a means of equalising the tax burden which at present is declared' by the grango officials to rest too heavily on the agrarian interests' of the state, the executive: committee re ports. ' ' ' .The executive committee of the Lane county Pomona grange is composed of E. J. Ward. Irving, master; A. C. Miller. Goshen: H. C.- Wheeler, Pleasant Hill, and W. K. Wing, Irving. i i.. . . : . '. DRY ENFORCEMENT - " 40d Or - uyliivnvno c (Continued from Pago One) j the sale of narcotic -drug. Their nse, except under,the direction of competent medical advice, is everywhere reganded as attended with grave- danger, usually- result ing In lamentable disaster. The effective protection of the. people from' these result, depends on our ability to prevent- the smuggling and unlawful sale of such narcotics- Their use is, in- part, per haps due to physical "disease and in part to lack of. moral stamina, but their abuse Is almost 'wholly a.' result of violations M the law. I the law can be. enforced, med ical science would very soon "rid the country of this menace. This traffic is carried on secretly and evasively. It can only be detected and eradicated through a system : of local inspectors and, police. The national secret service and enforce-. nvent-officers, can cope, with . the smugglers ad the wholesalers, but the peddlers and retailers cannot successfully be suppressed without the assistance of. state and muni cipal police. - ' , , Illicit Llqnor Another Problem .,'VThe other problem which I ash to lay before you is tnai m toxicating liquors. jus tendment was proposea oy vun a in 1917 and Its ratification Ioclaimed in January, .1919. .It ahiblts the manufacture, sale or transportation and the importa tion and exportation of intoxicating llduors -for Beverage purposes anu c nfers upon the congress and the ver&l states concurrent power to g act enforcement legislation. This p wer was exercised by .congress ii the national prohibition act, ii dch'was finally passed in Octo b r, 1919, two-thirds ot the house o frepresentatlves and senate pres e t having voted in ; the . afflrm a ive. Substantially all the states h Ve likewise passed enfprclng a ts under authority of (he 18th a wndment. In all of the states tfiere has long been laws regulat ing the sale of Intoxicating liquors and in many of the states prohi bition had already been adopted. ' States' Responsibility Plain , "Neither the amendment nor the prohibition act undertakes to relieve the states of their respon sibility relative to Intoxicating liquors, but on the other hand the amendment confers jurisdiction upon them and the prohibition ace authorizes state and local prose- ROBBERIES .

"The national prohibition act places the duty ot Its enforcement on the commissioner of Internal revenue, his assistants and Inspec tors. In accordance therewith there is an assistant commission In direct charge of prohibition en forcement and there me nrohl bltlon agents and Inspectors In each state. Correspondent pro visions will bo found In Hourly nil stute laws. , "The constitution nnd the laws of the nation and of the several states are binding alike upon all thn inhnhltAiits. It is the constitu tion which we have given our oaths to support the constitution which requires of tho President that he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed; and that the Btato' constitutions lay a similar obligation upon their governors. Should Know of Duties Imposed ! "The constitution and the laws are-perfectly plain, and tho direc tions which tlioy contain to the President and the governors are equally plain. The country ought to know all thlB. It ought to com prehend that when laws have been made, there is, and can be, no question about duty of executives to enforce them with such instru ments and by such means as the laav provides for securing enforce nmnt. Thev have rio' alternatives. They cannot be criticised for do ing their auiy. -inis is not litlcal question. If thero be any principle which has been estab lished by time, by common consent, by the unqualified assortion of fundamental and statute law It is that .executives are tho law enforc ing officers of. this nation. If this were not so, there would be no: warrant for the present gatherln I can conceive ot but one opinion on this. In which every responsible element must concur. . Wilding on Every Inhabitant "No provision of the 18th amendment, or the national pro hibition act contemplates any sur render of state responsibility. Un der them prohibition becomes ob ligatory in all states, for the con stitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof are specifically declared bv tho federal constitu tion to bo the supreme law of the land. They are binding upon every inhabitant. But there still re mains to the states the power, spe cifically reserved in the ISth amendment to pass enforcing acts and there is still on them a Joint responsibility to enact and execute enforcement laws, which may not always be exercised, but which can never be avoided. The comple mentary duty to enforcement of the law is obedience to . the law. That rests with the people them selves. The 18th amendment pro hibits manufacture, transportation, sale, export and import. These are the commercial activities. Trade in intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes is especially de nqunced. It is In this field that mtwt of the difficulty exists. The main problem arises from those who are bent on making money in an illegal traffic in. intoxicating liquors. If this-could be eliminat ed the rest would-be easy. Must Take Problem to People "These problems must be taken directly to -the American' -people. This government ' is their govern ment. These lawd are their laws. They have formed their govern ment and enacted their laws, with all due solemnity to promote their welfare and protect their liberties. They, are riot a nation -of inebriates; they are not a people who can be charged with being hypocrites. They : have no patience with an archy. They are sober, frank and candid people. They have respect and reverence for duly constituted authority. To them the law is a rule of actions- These fundamen tal national characteristics' are not going to be changed. These fun damental conceptions are going to remain permanent. "The great body of the peonle are thoroughly law-abiding. This great law-abidlng"element of the "nation is entltled to-support and pro tection. - - Vouchsafes Federal Support "I propose to give that support and protection 'to the limit, pro vided by the constitution and the law of the land, against ever" law less element The executives are required to enforce the law. The machlnry for the enforcement of the law IS that supplied by the acts of congress and the acts of the state legislatures. - That machin ery must be used to the full extent of Its capacity to secure the en forcement of .the law It is cer tainly' my own purpose so to use it. The people are goln? to con tinue to yield obedience to the law. This principle will continue to pre vail, Whenever the American peo ple shall pass judgment upon it, because It is the foundation ot all their Institutions. Obedience to Law Expected "We can only make progress with these problems by their frank and candid consideration. They are not going to be decided by pre judices. They are not going to be answered as a result of political intrigue. They are not going to be determined by extremists on either side- "They are not going to be solved In accordance with any sordid mo- Itlve. They will yield to the calm and clear judgment ot tne Amer ican people, through a determined expression of their high moral pur pose. . The law represents the voice of tho people. Behind It and sup porting It Is a divine sanction. En forcement of the law and obedience to law by tho very nature of our Institutions are not matters of choice In this republic, but tho ex- ftrosston of a moral requirement of tving in nccordunco with the truth. They are clothed with a spiritual significance In which is revealed the life or the death of tho American ideal of self-govern-ment.". CAXXOX POINTS TO ltKt'l,.H.TION HJ.S (Continued from Page One.) of tho- reclamation projocts, the witness said, probably "equals the .Jotiil cost of construction and war ranted tho assumption that the public Interest In tho settlers' wel fare went beyond tho mounting aggregato of payments overdue" lluiso l'l-ojivt UluMUniuoii Mr. Cannon" cited the Bolso pro ject as apparently illustrating the general situation. With advances from tho government already to taling $12.0001000, tho commis sioner asserted, "designing politic ians, self-appcilntod guardians of the water user and selfish Inter ests have so far Intruded them selves upon the patriotic and well meaning peoplo of this project that .many look forward to the time when the entlro investment will be relinquished." A The1 witness urged .tho commit tee to recommend a stronger per sonnel and capable business or ganization in ' Washington with a field force trained in organization, production and -business principles to,. -guide tho farmer. I-aek of co operation between government ngencies'was Indicated, he sald, by .the recent suspension of federal .land bank aid to reclamation farm ers in the St. Paul, Omaha and "Spokane divisions. Charles H. Lobdoll, general counsel of tho land bank system, denied tonight that any general suspension had been approved for ihoso or any other districts. Re fusals of credit. Mr. Lobdell Insist ed, were, confined to Individual cases and were based on tho merits in each case. Ho recalled, how ever that .the original land bank act 'had practically prohibited aid to Irrigation farmers by requiring tho banks to tako only a "first lien." - Most reclamation settlers had already assigned this claim to the reclamation bureau on taking up 'their land, he said. WORK ON RIMR0CK DAM INDICATIONS POINT TO COM ' ' FLEXION IN 1025 (Correspondence of The Associated Press) YAKIMA, Wash., Oct. 20 Work on the government dam at Rlmrock, 45 miles northwest of Here is progressing eatlsfacorily and indications point toward its completion in 1925, according to engineers in charge of the project.
