OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE li, 1927 From the Editor’s Point of View Objections to Incom e Tax Considered 1— It hit« the poor man. Why does all the |complaint on this score come from men with coitifort- able incomee? Have they suddeuly become altruists? mg 2— It would discourage investments in Oregou. The man who objecra to paying a 3- per-cent tax on his net income—his profits after all expenses are paid—is a mighty poor citizen. We don't want him in Oregon. 3— It is a most imperfect income-tax law. So you have said of ever, proposition, income-tax 9—I t is only an entering, wedge, and if adopted it will later be ameuded and made more drastic. Amen. Study it in acticn and remedy any defects. 5— I t w ill only provide more money to be spent. So w ill every other tax. abolish them all ? Shall we limitation to a 6 ^ -m ill tax for school purposes. She asks the voters next Tuesday to vote her permission to tax herself more to r school, which liberty she ought to have. Don’t overlook her appeal. Counteract the vote ot the fool who, “when in doubt vote No” by voting "302 yes. i l a year in advanec M e a s u r e N°. 3 0 2 On the ballot for the special election to be held June 28 is a constitutional amendment which provides that the 6- per-cent limitation of the Oregon consti tution may apply to the Portland school district as it now applies to all other school districts throughout the state. Mrs. Quinby’s plea in last week’s Enterprise for better Hal sey exhibits a t the county fair was opportune. This little city ought not to continue to allow smaller centers to eclipse it at our annual county exhibition. The Oregon voter thinks many small farm ers will neglect to vote next Tuesday, which will mean th a t th e income tax will be defeated. Well, if they won’t vote let them suffer. I his measure affects no other district in Oregon than the Portland district, and Portland residents will appreciate your support. Oregon people of moderate means never knew how much the rich speculator loved them until he sprang to th eir rescue from the threatened income tax.

Common danger has drawn togeth er hunters and the hunted. Mutually hostile species have been observed floating downstream together on tbe same logs snd rafts. The shiest of animats, the Louisiana muskrat, has looked to man for help. The Louisiana muskrat supplies 85 per cent of the fur used by the gar ment trade of the United States. Add to this “pillar of the fur trade” the otter, the mink, the beaver, the rac coon and even the humble 'possum that have Louisiana habitats. The re sult Is that, In quantity production, the fur crop of Louisiana la almost twice that ef Canada, nearly fifteen times that of Alaska and greater by hundred* of thousands of pelts than that of any other section of the coun try. Extermination of thia trade would be a terrific economic loss for thou sands of Louisians trappers. Thera are signs, however, that when the floods subside the wild life of Loulsl- ana will by no means be extinct. This la the view of Stanley C. Ar thur. director of the division of wild life of the Louisiana State Conserva tion commission, and few are able to discuss the birds and animals of the state more Intelligently or sympa thetically than he. 6portsmen’s Paradis*. “As All sportsmen know,” he said, the lowlands and the virgin swamps of Louisiana teemed before the Hood with deer, bear, wild turkey, quail, marsh hens, foxes, muskrats, beaver, opossum, mink, raccoons, squirrels, otters, wenaela, and, to a leaser ex tent, such predatory animals as the cougar, the wildcat and the wolf. In the Jungle* of the northeastern par ishes on the right bank of the Mis sissippi tho late Theodore Roosevelt used to hunt bear and turkey, and I might meutlon other hunter* whose names are household word* In the world of genuine aport. When the flood crests swept down on our state few thought, naturally, of our wild creatures. Hundreds of thousands of our people had to be saved. Tfiat was the first duty: wild life had to await Its turn. Now that tha desolation la about completa w * can begin to take stock ss to what hat happened to the wild Inhabitant* of our Jungles and murshes, I am hopeful that a very large proportion of them hav* survived, and M l tell you why. 1 am sure that we will And moat of the Louisiana deer alive when the flood* have passed. Large number* of them are safe on the red bill* of Mississippi, and the very fact that an many of them are In that state now gives us ample reason to hope that most of the other deer are still alive on high land In the flood annes. •'I alto believe that ws will find tnoet of the bear* alive. But they are not In Mississippi. Rome of the (Continued on page 4)
