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.

Jimmie Angus Was One of
Country's Premier Herdsmen
While talking with F. G. 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.

BUILDING OREGON
iiiiiniiiiimiiiiiii.
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.
