J U N K 1. 1»SS I-ANE MAKES SMALLEST SCHOOL CUT county has reduced average school taxes less than anv other county In the state or oply about 2 per cent from the peak of 1931. according to the Oregon Voter. Polk county with the largest reduction of 31 per cent leads In the amount cut from Its 1930 peak, yet It is declared that county has very good schools. l^ane county has only cut 2 per cent while the state as a whole cut 14 per cent. School boards no doubt faced with mounting warrant indebtedness will be forced to make deep cuts In 1933. Many schools will not open for the full nine months term, Springfield among them. Some may not open at all. It is evident that school expenses will remain high in Lane county so long as nearly 200 school boards administer the affairs of the individual districts. It is also evident that the property assessment in individual districts is an unjust pway to raise school taxes. Some districts, lucky enough to contain a railroad, may have a low property tax because of high valuation placed on the railroad while the adjoining district has a very high tax because it has no railroad or a low valuation. If the county unit plan should be adopted and the county taxed as a whole there would be uniformity and jus tice In the school taxes. There would also be economy in operation and better schools. l» n « -------------- ♦ —— — THE MORGAN INQUIRY Most people will get a ‘ kick" out of the Morgan bank inquiry chiefly because they enjoy seeing the rich punished a little. Americans must have a goat and it is easy to lay our troubles on the high and mighty. We doubt, however, that any back income taxes will be collected from Morgan and company. While their losses may not have been as big as they were declared no doubt they will be found large enough to exempt them from the tax as the law is now writ ten. In times like these even big business is in trouble and this is one cause of the acuteness of the depression. When the big fellows can't make the wheels go the little fellows must get off and walk. If Morgan and company have defrauded the govern ment they should be punished but on the surface it looks like a grandstand play at the expense of the public. As such it should be staged in Hollywood instead of Washing ton, D. C. ♦-------------- e-------------- THE OUTLOOK FOR PEACE That Europe has been for the i>ast two years on the verge of another war has been one of the things which has delayed recovery from the world-wide depression. Every one familiar with the subject has pointed out that before there can be any real economic adjustment nations must cease trying to rival each other in armaments. Now- it begins to look as if real disarmament were at hand. The three men who hold the greatest power in the world have agreed upon it. They are President Roosevelt of the United States of America, Chancellor Hitler of the German Republic and Premier Mussolini of the Kingdom of Italy. Each of these men is today, in a very real sense- the “boss” of his country. Roosevelt spoke first, when he addressed an identical message to every one of the 54 nations of the world urging them all to agree to abolish “offensive” weapons and limit themselves to defensive armament; further, to agree never to send an armed force across their borders for purposes of aggression. The whole world applauded. Then Hitler spoke. With President oosevelt’s message before him he declared that Germany asked no more than to be recognized as an equal among the nations- and that she did not dream of war nor ask for anything more than the right to defend herself. Now it was Mussolini’s turn. The leader of Italy called a conference of representatives of Great Britain, France, Ger many and his own country, and, to the surpise eff the world they agreed, unequivocally, to back up the disarmament program and, what was more to the point, to engage in no war in Europe for at least ten years. That leaves Japan as the only nation threatening world peace. Japan has withdrawn from the League of Nations. President Roosevelt’s message to the nations suggested the economic boycott of any nation which should persist in an aggressive war. Wrhat may come of that we cannot guess, but we feel certain that the cloud of impending war, which threatened the safety of the whole world- has been lifted. -------------- ♦-------------- INFLATION Five different powers have been given the president by congress in the procedure of inflation. He is authorized at his discretion, to place in operation one, some, or all of these measures: To negotiate with the Federal Reserve Board for them to pur chase up to $3,000,000.000 of government securities through open mar ket operations; To direct the Secretary of the Treasury to issue not more than $3.000,000,000 of notes as provided in the Act of 1862 (greenbacks) for the purpose of meeting maturing federal obligations, with the notes to be retired four per cent annually; To fix by proclamation the weight of the gold dollar in grains nine-tenths fine at an amount that "he finds is necessary to protect ihe foreign commerce of the United State against the adverse effect of depreciated foreign currencies," or, in case of International agree ment, to fix the gold dollar's weight in accordance therewith, but not reduce it by more than 50 per cent; To accept up to $100,000,000 of silver In payment of obligations due from foreign governments, during a period of one year and at a value of not more than 50 cents an ounce; and, or. To provide for the free coinage of silver at a ratio to gold which be might see fit to determine. PROHIBITION REPEAL DELEGATES LACKING Not enough delegates from any county has filed for the special election July 21 on prohibition repeal. Both wet and dry supporters seem to be lacking although It Is presumed that more candidates will file before the closing. The convention is a matter of form to comply with the provisions of amending the United States constitution. How the state votes Is how the convention will have to vote. This is the sticker for some of the drys as they do ont want to be elected and then be compelled to vote wet. States which have already voted have all been over- whelinly wet. But there is a chance for anything to happen in Oregon since we elected an independent gov ernor. Government expense must come down that much is certain. In 1900 our total public expenditures were six per cent of our national income. Now it has risen to one-third our national Income. No wonder we have large delinquent tax lists and small return from income taxes. We’re asking too much even in good times.
