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

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.

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.

Picnic Plans
No ctivity is more conductive to
food’ felowship and healthful re
creation than a picnic, and almost
any Oregon comunity can profit
from at least one community pic
nic during the summer, says Mass
Gertrude Skow. home demonstra
tion agent at large, and author
of a monthly recreation bulletn
issued by the home ecenomics div
ision of the Oregon Extension ser
vice. 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.
