TAX BILL The tax limitation bill that would restrict the levying of taxes on real propert to 20 mills exclusive of debt and in terest payment taxes is stirring th ngs up in this state. Washington has such a law but is a little more generous in its requirements. ; Apponents contend that it is impossible to carry on our many phases of government on the amount of money which could be raised so low a levy and it is true that we couldn’t carry on so much government as we do at present.' We be lieve that the bill starts with too low a millage rale and that it would reduce governmental activities too rapidly for safety. We also believe that some such a measure is going , to be necessary if the property tax payer is to be relieved from his excessive burdens. . ... The purpose of this bill, it appears, is to for^e some other form of taxation on the state in order to raise a part of the money needed for government. This must be done; the property owner cannot continue to carry the entire bur den . There would be less demand for new governmental functions and excessive governmental spendings if every citizen of the state and nation knew that he or she Was go ing to pay a just part of the resulting taxes. Our taxation system is largely derived from the era when all valuable possessions were land or tangible things and it does not fit present conditions as stocks, salaries, bonds, and other in tangible assets make up the larger part of wealth. We need stronger income and inheritance taxes to re move a part of the burden from real property owners, it should not be necessary to adopt such measures as the tax limitation bill in order to. bring about the change in tax methods, but it will eventually carry unless there is reform in taxation. Farmers cannot be expected to pay out a thii d to a half of their income for taxes while other citizens who receive as much from the state pay from nothing to ten per cent •s ----- o----- EVOLUTION The election of Arthur Priaulx as state chairman of the Republican party in Oregon is one of the best indications that a change in ideas is being made politically, especially by members of that party It is true that younger men are rapidly taking charge of both political parties during the present crisis and it shows the strength of our own form of government- It is also true that new blood, new ideas must be brought in to any organization to keep it in tune with the times and that this can happen to our political groups with harmony is indicative that our system of gov. err ment is sound and will continue despite contentions that it is outmoded and outgrown. : ----- O—--- The plan for a state operated hiring hall for longshore men sounds so simple and so workable that some one should have thought of it before. While it will necessarily be tem porary to last only until the workers and the employers settle their differences and make arrangements to do it themselves, it should be a means of bringing men to work again. . . ' . Tri . ------- 0------- The slaying of Austrians in high places seems to be dangerous to world peace. It was the murder of an Aus trian prince that was blamed fcr starting the world war, now the death of an Austrian chancellor causes mobilization of troops. Dictator theory in Europe must be that in order to protect the country we kill the people for that is what a war will result in doing. Reading the state men t of Dr. Elwood Mead who says that the drouth area comprising a large part of several states must be abandoned as farm land might lead to the belief that the purported remarks of Daniel Webster anent the value of the west were correct after all. Maybe it is too bad we killed off all the Indians with our diseases and our whiskey and all the buffalo with our guns. At least they enjoyed the country and used it for years without starving. The Dalles is going after the 1935 Legion convention with the slogan “Hi, pals! The Dalles, in ’35. Why not, “Come here, drink beer, never fear, your dear”. It would be convenient for legionnaires in this country to have a convention close at hand, maybe some of them could win a couple of battles if they renewed acquaintance with their old buddies In the middle west they have colder winters, hotter summers, more drouth, more floods and more population.

The most recent of these pub lications which is free on request contains suggested programs, plan ning details, games and other en tertainment features helpful to those in charge of a community picnic or gfor a smaller group. For an allday community out ing, Miss Skow suggests the fol lowing order of events: Entertain ment for the early arivals, gam es before dinner, dinner, commun ity singing, address, mixed games and contests. It is usualy best she says, for the one in charge to ap point committees to care for en tertainment, refreshments, atten dance, grounds, cleanup, and prob ably another to be responsible for the entire program of the day. A band or an orchestra is al ways enjoyed if available, but len gthy speaking or literary prog rams are to be avoided. It is well to plan or the entertainment and supervision of younger children, including a sand box, if possible with cups and dishes and some one to teach them singing and games.
