In 1915 it had risen to 9.1 per cent, and ay 1929 to 12.8. In 1932 the best- informed authorities estimate that 38 per cent of income was consumed by taxation, or one dollar out of every Area was paid for the operation» of ¿ovarnment. Current federal expan- Idurea are not in the direction of ra- lucing this percentage. These figures give point to the .earning of Senator Harry F. Byrd, ormer Governor of Virginia: •‘Our governments, local, state end .ational, cannot continue to live in he boom days of 1929.. Today, the alue of our basic commodities—the n'.y source from which the wealth of ur nation is replenished — is much elow the 1931 level, yet we are breed to contribute to the tax col- octor four times the proportion of >ur national income we paid in 1913. t is no wonder that thoughtful men ind women fear the menace of our nounting burden of taxation not only ' a affecting our material prosperity utt endangering even our institutions >f government” Yet taxpayer», hearing and reading jonetantly of large federal expendi eres of an emergency nature to com- ' 1 >at the depression, should not make the error of attributing all their tax ' r. ubles to Washington.

The uncertainty lies in the financial altitude above the aurface. From southern California comes th« suggestion of a plan which, if it i» ever put into effect, might end depres sions for all time to come. Frankly, we doubt that the scheme would work out according to the ideas of Dr. F E.

Medford’s Grocery The taxpayers have prevented Vice President Garner with an aistomo- castle costing 37600, said luxurious vehicle being 20 feet long. It has a barbershop, bath, kitchen, dining room, lounge and library, all connect ed by telephone. Ex-Vice President Curtis’ car was taken in at 32400 as the down-payment.

According to data given to the bank ing and currency committee of the house of representatives, shortly be- fore the adjournment of congress, sp- proximately 107 million dollars is owed to school teachers in the United States, Many Who have studied the problem are of the opinion that Re- cenatruetipn Finance Corporation should be authorized by congress to loan money on, or to purchase teach ers’ warrants, leaiving the matter of adequacy of security in the warrants to the RFC. The security would de pend largely upon the status of the various school districts against the re- sources of which the warranto are drawn. The plight of these teachers is such that they claim they cannot continue to perform their function of 1 teaching the children of our nation ' when they are either on the verge of starvation or in such an unsettled frame of mind that they are unable to devote themselves wholeheartedly to their work. It is realized that the general problem of paying teachers is held to be a local and state responsi bility; but since in numerous case« the government has found it advisable to deviate from rts normal functions a.id grant emergency relief, it was hoped that congreaa before adjournment would give sympathetic consideration to the plight of the school teachers.' ¡However, their condition in Oregon is1 not bad when compared to that which exist* in some of the states that are* far more wealthy and populous.
