WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT?
Worry about the financial condition of the state is engaging
the attention of political leaders. This weeks conference was held
to discuss plans and policies. Unemployment, taxation, liquor,
and truck bill were the subjects discussed
Reporters of the conference were of the opinion that it will be
necessary to hold a special session of the legislature to decide the
course of the state on these matters Taxation especially is con­
sidered serious and it was proposed that a sales tax of some sort
be enacted to relieve the situation
These are the simple facts of the case and the governor wants
to know how people feel about it before he goes further. A mem.
ory of even minimum length should tell anyone what the people
think about a sales tax. The one recently defeated was for pro­
perty reliéf and it was decisively beaten- Without that feature
it is probable that it would receive fewer votes To our way of
thinking the sales tax ft out, for the time being at least.
How we are to take care of the unemployed during the com­
ing winter is a problem and one that must be met and solved soon,
It does not affect the rural counties so seriously, but it does seem
that plans tried so far have been of a decidely temporary nature
when the occation calls for longer range planning.
• If we are to conclude that the conditions call for a readjust­
ment of our economic life and that new means of livelihood must
be found for a goodly percent of the population we hud better be
at it without more delay. It appears tha’ it is time to talk about
readjustment instead of mere relief This may be consideied a
national function but there is nothing to prevent the state frem
nuking an attempt to settle the problem
If ninety members of the state legislature are 10 be called to­
gether to debate these questions without having before it s me
well considered plan prepared by competent advisors be orchard
it will likely result in an unsatisfactory session from the point of
the legislators, the administration a< d the taxpayers. It is hard
to get the agreement ¿f a majority in a short srecial session unless
opinions have been formed before it starts and accurate and com-
pi te information is at hand Calling a special session will not
solvv anything in itself and it may bring up some things that are
now considered settled
If public sentiment cannot be crystalized around some prog ram
before the special session we do not believe it will be afterward
when the mazes of partisan politics will muddle the scene. We
might have another special election that would undo all the ce ­
sión had voted which would result in a further stalemate Such
things are wasteful for it costs money to nuke laws and it costs
money to refer or initiate against them
It may be that it is impossible to Jr. find a means
of settling ’ the
*
difficidties that is workable and popular enough to pass the people.
That is a constant trouble of democracies It should be remem­
bered, though, that in this state at this time, the people will event­
ually decide and they must be convinced that a program is sound
before it can escape special election
-------- 0--------
IT MUST BE DONE
Certainly some plan of moving the surplus wheat from the
ports and warehouses of the northwest wi^be of as much aid to
farmers of this region as th« payments*™ be given the fanner
under the domestic allotment plan This may/ seem an exagger­
ated statement when it is conside» ed that the administration plan
is expected to give the farmers about 16 cents per bushel for their
entire crop over the market price. (Twenty eight cents on 54 per
cent of the wheat is approximately that)
The present difference between Chicago and Portland in Sept­
ember wheat is more than 17 cents and as all plans proposed to
handle the northwest surplus are designed to equalize those prices
t is easy to see that exporting will have as beneficial a result as
the allotment plan itself as far as the northwest is concerned,
It is only reasonable to suppose that if the domestic allotment
scheme itself is to be entirely successful it must arrange for the
shipment of wheat from congested areas If wheat is allowed to
pile up in one district until it cannot be sold at all the benefits of
the plan will be overcome by the difficulties of it Every raise in
the domestic price makes it that much harder to export wheat
unless some bonus is given to those who export.
It therefore appears that the government is moving in the
right direction when it proposes to aid in shipping wheat to foreign
countries.

CHAPTER IX
The bell In the cupola of Don
Jaime's little adobe church was call­
ing Its last summons to the faithful
when Roberta and her host left the
house on foot.
Don Jaime led her down the main
aisle of the small church and crossed
with her over to the organ which
stood against the wall. The choir
sat on benches in the rear of the or­
gan and an upholstered chair stood
, beside the organ seat.
“For company," Don Jaime mur­
mured. nnd Indicated that Roberta
should occupy It.

the slim one and read:

Crooked Bill read and reread this
remarkable document and with a huge
sigh laid It aside. "I've overplayed
my hand," he murmured, and took up
Roberta’s letter, which ran as follows:
“Dear Uncle Bill:
"I am ashamed of myself for having
neglected you so, but the fact Is I have
been having such a wonderful time
at Don Jaime's ranch (I call him Jim­
my) that I haven’t had time to write.
"Uncle Bill, he’s marvelous. Every­
body thinks so and says so—conse­
quently It must be true. He Is very
bold, he sings and plays divinely, he is
a sort of feudal baron and he works
hard all day with his men. He has
thousands of acres of cotton, thou­
sands more of alfalfa, thousands more
of cattle range. and all the cattle in
the world.
“I haven't thought of Glenn Hackett

for him—hard.
"I enclose a number of photos. The
one of Jimmy Is excellent. Write soon.

“BOBBY."
With the calmness of despair Crooked
Bill scrutinized the photography. The
one of Don Jaime showed him on a
gray horse with a day-old calf draped
across his lap.
“Caramba!’* murmured Crooked BUI.
“This fellow Is no fat, oily, perfumed,
