Additional Room Planned For State Offices At Salem A new modern oilice building is pro vided in a bill which state representa tive T. B. Kay uf .Marion county is pre paring for presentation at the biennial session of the legislature in January. L'nfler Mr. Kay's plans, the new build ing would cost approximately J350,000 and of that amount the state industrial accident eornniisticm would pay $100,000 and the state highway commission Jl 00,000. The remaining J150.000 will be appropriated by the legislature. . Mr. Kay would not have construction com mence until labor and material recsde to lower levels. By Snell Smith. Washir.ston. Nov. JO. In the opinion of Senator Venrose. Chairman of the Finam-e Commute, communicated to Senatorial colleagues her and to influ ential members of the Ways and Means Committee, no attempt should be made j to repeal the ctcess profit tax or amend ( the revenue lawt until the special aea- j ijn of Congress, w ntcn i-resinem-eie-ci - Harding has announced that ne win all soon after March 4. Senator Tenrose said that In his Pinion an thing that might be done by ; he Republican Congreea along these. nes would probably be Tetoed by President Wilson, and. therefore. Hi ould be a waste of time for the Rep-1 ublicans to attempt to carry Into effect i party policies during the final months' f the Wilson Administration. It mav be wise not only to repeal the excess profits tax. but to simplify j x forms for the calendar year 19:9. , said Senator Tenrose, "but I do not , believe that the consensu! or opinion Congress would favor undertaking the repeal of any taxation scneauies ntil the Republicans enter into fullj control of the Government I myself favor simplification of the tax forme so that the taxpayer can know what he r. to report I hope that we may ao this before the taxpayers are required to make the 19!0 report" Senator Penrose further indicated that no advantage could be gained by enealing the excess profits tax at the coming session, as Congress undoubt edly would not favor repealing the tax for the calendar year 1929, and there as sufficient time to repeal It at tne special session, when other features of the revenue law would be considered and general revision might be undertaken. There Is such a demand from nusi. noss men for repeal of the excess pro fits tax. supplemented by the recom mendations of Treasury officials, that there Is reason to believe that con- . . .... ...... v . gress will not aeiay ku uuu hole subject of taxation can db unaor- taken. It Is the opinion or. moss con cerned with taxation matters that this tax will be repealed early In the sum mer of 1921, or, according to secreiar Houston, It will be necessary to collect the tax for that calendar year. What Is punling the authorities is how to find a substitute for this tax. There Is no argument against Its re peal. In the Ways and Means Commit tee last session, R. C. Lrftnngweii. men Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, suggested that the Income tax might be Increased to provide revenues com ing from excess profits. This view was opposed by the committee, which was nearly ready to accept a tax on sales and real estate transfers. Many object to a sales tax. Another suggestion Is to repeal tne profits tax without trying to supply another source of revenue to take Its place. In such a case the expenditures of Government must be reduced to a minimum. If this Is done. It Is argued. there will be sufficient revenue to meet ordinary expenses of Government, but not to redeem the Treasury certificates and Victory notes In 1923, amounting in all to about 8.000,000,000. Some financial experts hold that these obligations should not be redeem ed. but should be refunded Into long- term bonds and cancelled in fifteen vears. when the condition of the Gov ernment will be such as to carry out the transaction without putting such a hnrden on oresent-day taxpayers. Different schools of financiers will undoubtedly come into conflict when the subject of tax revision comes up In Congress. Underlying tne oinerences, however, Is the general agreement that the excess profits tax must be repealed. The stfuggle will come over whether a substitute tax Is necessary or whetn er the present situation can be taken care of by extending the period of in debetedness maturity.

Duncan, bonnie Scotchman, the other day, and Duncan being a lover as well a; Judge of pure tied cattle, our conver sation naturally drifted to discussion of the famous herd of Shorthorns own ed a few years ao by W. O. Minor at the -Mountain Valley Stock Farm near this city. "Lid you know any of Minor's herds men" asked Duncan. We replied that we remembered a few of them but that Jimmie Angus was in our memory stronger than any of the rest. "u'heie did Jimmy finally go. we asked. Kor we always had a warm spot in our heart for him. He was not only one of .the country's premier herdsmen, but was a prince of a fellow and a warm friend. t rom Duncan's conversation we learned that Angus went to Kentucky, where he took charge of one of the best knowrn herds in the United States While taking some of these cattle to Chicago to piace them in the show at the great International Kxposition Jimmie contracted a severe cold. Som of the boys tried to get him to go to the hospital, but he would not listen to it, as he didn't want to leave the cattle. However, the great herdsman was finally taken to the hospital where he could receive medical attention, but his condition was serious. What he thot to be an insigniikant cold later devel oped Into a bad case of influenza and he never recovered. When Jimmie Angus died, the coun try lost one of Its best herdsmen. He knew the fine stock game from A to Z and had years of practical experience in the stock business in Scotland be fore coming to America. In preparing a heid for the show ring none of the boys had anything on Jimmie. He worked for Minor a long time and was given credit for the fine appearance of the Minor herd, which was always, while under his care, In the best of condition.

No one appreciates the growth and development of the State of Oregon more than the Public Utilities who serve it and supply the tele phone, gas, electric and transportation facilities which promote tho bus iness of the State and the welfare of its people. Proof of that growth is scarcely necessary. The statistics published daily in the press, showing bank clearings, building permits, imports and exports, real estate trans fers, all bear testimony to a tremendous business activity and a volume of trade far in excess of that of five years ago. "With all this growth and activity there has been an increasing de mand for telephone service greater than our present facilities can sup ply and greater than our present revenue will allow us to meet. During the present year we have handled in excess of 48,000 orders for tele phone service in the State of Oregon and at the present time have 3500 unfilled orders on hand,. The constant demand for telephone service can only be continuously met with a plant sufficient for present needs and a reserve for growth which will permit of promptly handling installations, changes and moves. This company has no apology to offer for what it has accom plished in the way of meeting the demand for telephone service during and since the war. It is a record to be proud of but it cannot continue to meet this demand with its present facilities exhausted and a deficit in its earnings. Arrangements must be made for the necessary plant and equipment to keep pace with Oregon's tremendous growth. We want the people of Oregon to realize our present situation and the problems now confront ing us and help us to take a proper part in the development of this State.
