The tax bill of the lumber industry last year was roughly $65.000,000 and must come out of the pockets of the timber and sawmill owners who have not made a cent of profit but faced a loss in the operation of their plants in order to provide some employ­ ment. It is evident that this sort of taxation can not go on. It is another case of “slaying the goose that lays the golden egg.” The lumber industry should pay a yield tax as the timber is cut at least in lieu of a good part of the property tax. This would not only be the fair way but it would be showing a sensible attitude toward this great industry which is now in grave danger of being taxed to execution. ------------ » SUPPORT THE NEW CHANCELLOR Dr. William Kerr has been named chancellor of the state institutions of higher learning. He takes the reigns after a period of uncertainty and divided authority and with a political wrecking crew in the shape of the Zorn-McPher- son bill on the job at the November election. The purpose of the institutions of higher learning is to properly train the conduct and educate the youth of the state. In this the state at large has been setting a poor example recently. And even with the high quality leader­ ship of Dr. Kerr these institutions will not maintain the standards they should without the united and loyal support of the people of Oregon. Dr. Kerr has been chosen chancellor. It is up to the people of the state to back him up and militantly combat every influence that trends to tear down our institutions of higher learning. --- ----- ----♦------------- HOW WILL THE WOMEN VOTE? W’e don’t know who is going to be the next president of the United States, and we are not quite sure about who will represent some of our own districts in the next congress, but are are beginning to feel pretty sure that the women of the United States are going to have a good deal more to say about it this year than we men. According to the United States census of 1930, there are just about 35.000,000 women over 21 years of age in this country. We have lived long enough to know that it is never safe to predict what a woman is going to do, but we have a strong hunch that most of these girls are going to get out and vote next election day, and that they are going to pay a great deal more attention to the issues of the cam­ paign than to the personalities of the candidates. Before the days of woman suffrage the opponents of the notion that women ought to have a vote had a favorite argument that women would vote for the handsome boys, because they liked their hair or the way they tie their neckties. It hasn’t worked out exactly that way. We haven’t noticed any movie stars going into the senate, and we have seen some of the worst looking specimens of mankind we ever laid eyes on occupying seats in congress and other pub­ lic offices. They used to say that women would vote the way their husbands or fathers or brothers told them. We never did have much faith in that argument. It is our observation that the best way to get a woman to do something is to tell her to do something else. Seriously, we not only believe, but we hope, that the wo­ men’s vote is going to be a big factor in the coming election. Almost every woman we know anything about is instinc­ tively frugal, while probably most men we know would be spendthrifts if they had anything to spend. What is need­ ed now more than anything else is a general housecleaning in government and lopping off of unnecessary expenses everywhere. We would very much rather trust the women —any group of women—to do the job than we would trust a similar group of men. THE DAY OF REST 1 feel sure our editor will pardon me, if I seem at times a little old-fashioned; there are so many flimsy, new theor­ ies now—and so much untried stuff advanced, that it is re­ freshing to go back to the old trundle-bed for a bit of old- fashioned comfort once in awhile. Isn’t the family doctor a sort of guardian in his com­ munity? I think so—a trusted mentor and friend. He, above all others must conclude God’s laws are always right. So, there’s a seventh day for rest. It has been so for centuries. That assumes that we work six days. He set the example for us, In this matter of first importance. Well, how many of us observe the law—or follow the Divine ex­ ample? How many of us pay the penalty which is sure, after many, flagrant violations? I am afraid that the church, ambitious to succeed in a holy cause, approaches very close to transgression when it fills the Sabbath with exacting ceremonies. Sunday is the day of all days when I keep my eye on the clock, to see that 1 shall not be late at any of by denomination's ordinances. I have somehow acquired the feeling that, if I am late, or neglectful of formal statutes on Sunday, I am not living up to my duty as a God-fearing man -a would-be setter of good example in my community. So Sunday has become almost a day of exacting requirement, with but little REST. 1 wonder if God wants it that way?

A t one side of this, back of a sink, to save plumbing, was the bathroom. And the hack room, the home of the Lipvitch family, where they entertained their friends, ate their meals, and slept, stretched the full seventeen feet from party wall to party wall. Here father, mother. Becka and the twins. Muriel and Con­ stance. the latter just able to walk, were sheltered. and took to his heels before a gang.

The story grew by telling and the fame of John Breen took on added stature. Fighting kept his mind alert and made him wary, while dim thoughts "Berks!
