PENDLETON EAST OREGONIAN. rpHE trading season is at hand at Salem, according to exper ienced newspaper correspondents covering the legislature. It is the dangerous season. Veteran lobby ists and members who have axes to grind look forward to this per iod of the session with great eager ness. Measures that could not get to first base, if considered only on their merits, may sometimes be jammed through when the trading season is on. Friends of the workmen's com pensation act will do well to be on guard during the remainder of the session. There is public approval of the compensation act and it is satisfactory for employers and for workers. But such things mean nothing to those who wish to slaughter the law. When the trading season is on those who re ly on the merits of a "proposal oft en find they are wasting their time. The Carkin bill to give the state board supervision over county city and district budgets, bond is sues and tax levies will not be passed if considered in the open. It is a crazy scheme and will be very harmful if passed. We had a sample of that line of action sev eral years ago and it worked for chaos everywhere. Yet people with unrevealed motives of their own wish that bill adopted and they may be able to logroll it thru if no alarm is given. It would be appropriate fcr ev ery county government, every city, school district or port district of ficial to take a look at the Carkin bill. It is a plan to upset local self-government and place author ity over local matters in the hands of state officials who will have no chance to know what's what or why. The trading season at Salem is a dangerous time. Most of the schemes that put the legislature into disrepute are concocted dur ing this period. During the trad ing season conditions are created that set the stage for direct legis lation and the long ballot at elec tion time. It is the vote buying period and vote buying is incom patible with good government. Over 170,000 New Laws. SENATOR BORAH says we make too many laws. This country will be "a republic in name, and a bureaucracy in fact," if we don't check the wholesale lawmaking machine. Not all the laws are made in Washington. Forty-eight Legislatures are'busy. Bit M - UJawrence IlAWtnOrnC' Of courage, and of vision clear, To bring into our lives again The spirit of the pioneer. If hnrn America 5- fhir S . America To lead The new laws suggested here and there number about 177,000, a fantastic figure. However, civili zation itself, to say nothing of this glorious republic, is an experi ment, in its infancy. Children try many things, all trying is useful. Even if they burn their fingers, that's useful. It teaches them to avoid fire. Each law is an experiment, an effort to remedy something wrong or establish something good. Once men were hanged, by law, not by lynching, for stealing a horse. Now they steal automobiles, and hanging for horse thieves auto matically disappears. Not the foolish things we plan but what we actually do counts. If one of the 170,000 new laws could dis courage crime without "cruel and unusual punishment" that would be a blessing. The Six Per Cent Limi tation. PORTLAND TELEGRAM. SHOULD the 6 per cent tax lim tation of the state constitution be repealed? This is a question on which the people doubtless will again be asked to vote at the next general election, Tor indications; are that the legislature will refer the proposal repeal to the elector ate. A resolution for the purpose passed the house and another is pending in the senate. It is a question that should be given care ful thought by every class of vot ers, especially the farmers, who particulrly are supposed to be ben efitted by the limitation. Are the taxpayers benefitted by this constitutional provision? It is a question that deeds deep study before being answered. That the six per cent limitation has led to confusion in state and muni cipal government is a certainty. Some claim that it has, like many reforms, brought evils from which the people have suffered. But would its repeal result in greater evil and an overwhelming deluge of taxes? That is the question. liie masses in Oregon for a dozen years have regarded the 6 per cent limitation as a gift from heaven sent in response to the prayers of an overtaxed people. They have forgotten if they ever realized that the idea of the limi tation did not originate with the people, but with certain big inter ests that wanted to pay less taxes The 6 per cent limitation inhib its the state tax commission or any other tax levying body, such as a school board, a city council or a board of county commissioners from levying for a greater amount in taxes in any year than the amount of the previous year plus 6 per cent. It has been presumed that the limitation applies only to the ordinary ad valorem taxes on property, but interpretations of the act differ. The attorney gen eral has held that it applied also to an income tax, and there is a pos sibility that it would apply to oth er forms of taxation that are be ing considered by the legislature unless the lawmakers go through the tedious and risky process of referring them to the people. And as for referring them to the peo pie, an attorney may be found now who doubts if a popular vote legal ly can stave-off the 6 per cent lim itation unless an election is called every year. Because of this un certainty The Telegram recently suggested that the legislature should contrive to get an interpre tation of the limitation from the supreme court.

' Those six words explain a lot in life. They help give per spective to the irritations of the day. In the schoolroom the children hard to manage who cause most of the trouble are the ones who are troubled themselves who are in some sort of ill health, who have poor home environ ment, who are unhappy. In large families where one child occasions more worry there may be poorer health or more highly strung nerves. Ill-health of some sort is the secret of most of the cantank erousness of childhood. Among grown-ups the trouble makers are also the troubled. The criminal class is, almost without exception, composed of those who are physically or mentally sick. The jealous husband or wife is a trouble maker who is troubled. He lives in constant torment himself, tortured by his doubts and suspicions. The cruel are often those who themselves are tormented by fear. The sarcastic, cutting tongue often indicates inward wounds that have never healed. Dyspepsia and constipation are responisble for a large share of ill humor in the world. The braggart is troubled with a secret fear of being inferior, the surly person hides behind the mask of his sensitive timid-' ness, the irritable person has nerves stretched to the breaking point. The nagging woman is usually worried, nervous, overworked. Socrates' famous sentence:.. The men and women who are gentle and good are also happy and the unjust and evil are mis erable, derives much of its truth from the-obverse fact that the happy are usually gentle and good, the miserable unjust and evil. The joint resolution introduced by Senator Hall contains in its preamble some allegations that are at least pertinent. In' effect it declares that the limitation has encouraged rather than curbed ex travagance, that it has killed thrift. It avers that both the state and the municipalities each year increase taxes squarely up to the limit, and that there is no such thing in Oregon as an unexpended tax balance. It mentions that many progressive citizens hold the 6 per cent limitation responsible for the increase in taxes and the alarm ing increase in bonded indebted ness of the various political units of fhe state of Oregon." Perhaps Senator Hall has exag gerated conditions. Would the Oregon taxpayers be better off if the limitation were re moved, and, regardless of .whether otner tax laws are enacted, an equitable method of arriving at the valuations of big industrial and financial properties were adopted? Here is a good question to wrestle with. A bill to reach these prop erties pends at Salem. On good authority it is stated that the meas ure would increase the assessed valuation of Oregon property by many millions of dollars. But with the 6 per cent limitation it would not bring the new revenue that the state needs. It would only dis tribute the burden more equitably With the limitation removed it would do both, and some careful observers hold that the added tax able valuation of industrial and income producing property would be so great that the state could have all the revenue it needs, with a fair tax on everybody, which, of course, would have to be a lower tax on the land owner than the present levy against his holdings.

She was frightfully near-sighted and couldn't recognize things mort than a yard away. Her lover didn't know of it yet, and she was going to make sure he didn't find out. Before he called that evening, she placed pin in a tree about fifty feet from bench where she was certain they would sit. Sure enough, they strolled for son.e time in the garden and then he sug gested sitting on the bench. "Oh, look at the pin in that tree over there!" she exclaimed. "Don't be foolish! You couldn't possibly see a pin in that tree. Why, it's over fifty feet away." "You come with me, and I'll prove there's a pin." She grabbed him by the hind and they started for the tree. On the way, she stumble! over a cow. Friendly. Suy, Doc, what's this bill Forty-two dollars forty Patient: for?

Little Georgie was invited out to dinner with his father and mother, and before starting the latter im pressed upon the darling boy the nec essity for his speaking in complimen tary terms of the food. After he had tasted the soup, he STL said to the hostess, "This is pretty good soup what there is of it." A flare from his mother palled him up. So he corrected himself by saying, "And there's plenty of it such as it is." LEGAL NOTICES SHERIFF'S SALE.
