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.

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.

Friend Hohenzollern showed good judgment by sawing
wood harder than ever when he heard of that new revolution.

Too Little Patriotism
As for the public, there is a gen
eral conviction that too much person
al politic and too little patriotism
entered into the consideration of the
treaty. ,
ing a tool of profiteers. Wc wonder
what these same people arc thinking
now that there are no government of
ficials to fix the price at which sugar
is to sell. Astoria Budget
War Tax Issue
Republican leader In the house
are scolded by the New York World
for refusing to take up the subject
of revision of federal taxation at this
session of congress, and arc accused
of "saving the war taxea for an issue
in the coming campaign." 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. The fire
marshal and the women's clubs of the
.state st-md back of the wovemcnt,
giving their moral support and ac
tual aid as far as possible. Baker
Herald.
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

Surar Then and Now
There were people during the war
who did not appreciate the necessity
of a food administration and who
critized its rules and regulations
Some were even so ungenerous to
Mr. Hoover as to accuse him if he.
Wood For President
General Ionard Wood's presiden
tial candidacy appears due i3t some
mighty stiff opposition right In his
