PHONE 06 ALBANY, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1920 REVISE THE REVENUE LAW That Congress as a legislative machine has not really broken down was shown by its final passage of the railroad bill, the most constructive measure of the recent session. Is it too much to expect that before the session ends Congress shall attend to another reconstruction matter, that is almost as important the revision of war taxes? War revenues are still needed, and will be for some time yet, to pay the accrued expenses of the conflict. But surely the revenue law enacted hastily, to meet war conditions, can profitably be changed now so as to fit in better with peace time business conditions. There is a Darticularlv strone and logical demand for doing away with the excess profits tax, which as matters stand is passed on to the consumer and thus paid for by the public several times over. There is general recognition that the present revenue system too often fails to affect business interests that want to evade the burden, and handicaps those that are law-abiding and conscientious. The income tax law is unnecessarily complicated and troublesome alike Jo corporations and individuals. The defects are well known, from experience. The public is willing to pay whatever taxes are needed, but it wants them distributed more equitably, more sensibly and with less annoyance. Cannot Congress attend to this matter soon? If it does not.'we shall have the present reve nue law in effect for two years more. o EDUCATIONAL HIKES t Hiking clubs are becoming steadilv more DODular in every section of the country. There are community hiking groups and club and school hikers. Whether they gather wild flowers or have an outdoors feast about a campfire or a meal at a country house, it is all great fun. Serious thoughts and formal studies are left behind. Hikes seem to be run differently in England. .An an nouncement quoted from a London paper indicates the edu cational possibilities which Americans neglect. 1 omorrow the London Rambling Society and any persons who wish to join them will leave Westminster at 2:30 and will follow the route taken by Charles I to the scaffold, arriving at the scene of the execution at the time at which it took place. A lecture will then be given " It isn't such a bad idea, after all. Every community has some spot of historical significance to the locality or to the nation, or some place of rare beauty with which the aver age citizen is too familiar. What an inspiring objective to a hike such a spot would be! The picnic lunch and the pleas ures of the tramp would not have to be abandoned, either. A few such rambles would do a good deal to make the regu lar inhabitant of the region as well-informed as the interest ed tourist who comes from afar to admire things overlooked by the old-timer. It would boost community self-respect and appreciation, too. Here is a good chance for local walkers to start something worth while. o Friend Hohenzollern showed good judgment by sawing wood harder than ever when he heard of that new revolution.

Oregon-ian. State Clean. I'p Many cities and small towns have acquired the habit of an annual clean up week. At that time cellars back yards and alleys are cleaned out and every bit of rubbish is hauled away or burned up. In Kansas the whole state unites in this scoson of cleaning.

Lacking In Morals People with a happy knack of ex pressing in limpid language what are called noble thoughts are trying to make others belive that this nation is on its way to the devil. They are telling us that our mo tives are no longer pure, that most of us are profiteers and that we are lacking in the moral grandeur that ennobled the Pilgrim fathers. Ore gon Statesman.
