In his New York speech, Mr. Hoover said in part: "The Government in commercial business does not tolerate among its customers the freedom of competitive reprisals to which private business is subject. Bureaucracy does not tolerate the spirit of independence; it spreads the spirit of submission in to our daily life and penetrates the temper of our people not with the habit of powerful resistance to wrong but with the habit of timid acceptance of irresistible might. "Bureaucracy is ever desirous of spreading its influence and its power. You cannot extend the mastery of the Government over the daily work ing life of a people without at the same time making it the master of the people's souls and thoughts. Every expansion of Government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs, is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation's press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die. "" "It is a false liberalism that in terprets itself into the Government operation of commercial business. Every step of bureauratizing of the business of 'our country poisons the very roots of liberalism that is, political equality, free speech, free assembly, free press and equality of opportunity. It is the road not to more liberty but to less liberty. Liberalism should be found not striving to spread bureaucracy but striving to set bounds to it. True liberalism seeks all legitimate free dom, first in the confident belief that without such freedom the pursuit of other blessings and benefits is vain. That belief is the foundation of all American progress, political as well as economic." TAX THE LOAFER One of our exchanges sums it up in this manner: Theoretically, the perfect tax would be a tax on in action. The proper man to tax would be the loafer, not the worker; idle land, not used lund; inactive capital, not active capital; lack of enter prise. Such a tax would not be practical, but it would be a just tax. Our present taxes are based on an opposite theory. We tax thrift, action, capital, en terprise. We levy taxes in proportion to ability to pay, which means that the harde r a man works, the more we tax him; the more thrifty ho becomes, the more we soak him; the more ef ficient he grows, the more we knock him down. If a man saves his money and buys a house, he is taxed; if he wastes his money in extravagant living, ho is not taxed. None of our taxes encourage pro duction by the simple process of dis couraging idleness, shiftlessnesa, in efficiency. The devil himself could not do o neater job of hobbling tha race. 0 When a big electric , locomotive burst through sheeting, covering the west portal of the Great Northern tunnel at Scenic, Wash., Saturday, the first train had been drawn through the longest underground bore in the Western hemisphere nearly eight miles in length, complet ed in approximately three years at a cost of $14,000,000. The new tunnel rcute lessens passenger train time on the Great Northern one hour and the time of freicht trains three hours. A system of switchbacks on the Cas cade mountain grade is done away with, and before the Great Northern completes improvements of its line in connection with the new tunnel route, which includes the complete electri fication of the entire Cascade moun tain division, the cost will mount to $25,000,000. o Wyatt Earp, who boys of 50 and over used to read about back in the late TO's, when he was a gun toting peace officer of Dodge City, Kansas, and Tombstone, Ariiona, and whose colorful career led him through sev eral fatal conflicts with "bad men" is dead at the age of 78. His later years were spent in California where he vu interested in sports. Among riamtttfttfc wlfelt'l he jfottettW was a Colt revolver with a number of nicks notched in its handle, each recording the demise of a lawbreaker. The Oregon legislature convened Monday. It faces a number of per plexing situations confronting the state and which of course its august body is expected to satisfactorily un ravel. Perhaps the principal problem before the lawmakers is that of les sening the tax on the fellow that pays by buckling up the cinch on the fellow who should pay, but doesn't. Everybody in England with the possible exception of General Bram well Booth, himself, are in favor of his retirement as head of the Sal vation Army. Maybe in time the general will be attacked with the same notion. The man who wrote the Nebraska game warden, asking forgiveness for shooting a prairie chicken out of season back in 1893, cannot be class ed as a "game hog." With regularly clicking shots in the movie news reels, we are con stantly being reminded that Mus solini is still mussolining over there in Italy. A bankruptcy ring has been un earthed in New York; as though it were not easy enough to go through bankruptcy without wearing a ring. Medford school district, home of the state's champion football team, shows an increase of 244 pupils over the number listed last year. And so; after the late lamented democratic campaign, Jim Missouri Reed is still able to go, and go strong. Forty-five hundred ewe lambs were recently sold at Klamath Falls for $45,000. Can ewe beat that price? The Nugget (in rough) Corporation of Baker, has been incorporated with $50,000 capital. RELIABLE WATCH REPAIRING Main St. H. H.
