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?

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,

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

When the flood crests swept down
