PORTLAND TELEGRAM. STATE TREASURER THOS. B. Kay tells us that the surest and safest way to tax relief lies in securing more just and accu rate property valuation. He discovers that some business property is assessed as low as 25 per cent of its cash value while similar property in other commun ities is assessed as high as 80 per cent. He finds the tax burden pressing more heavily upon farms and small homes than upon manu facturing plants which in some in stances are assessed at an amount less than their annual profits. Oregon's problem is neither new nor peculiar. The riddle of taxation is rather older than that of the Sphinx and has puzzled statesmen since government be gan. To levy a tax that shall be just, sufficient and collectible has always been the dream of theor ists and the difficulties on the way have been greatly multiplied as economic life has become more complex and varied. There is always the temptation to overload real property, which is obvious, get-at-able, easy to locate and appraise, and to spare com mercial and industrial properties which are more evasive. There can be no doubt that Mr. Kay is right in believing that the state would gain many millions in valuation if merchandise stocks and factories were made to as sume their proper place on the tax rolls. Just how this desirable result may be attained is some thing to be discovered by the tax relief commission appointed by the last legislature. If study of local conditions and of methods employed by other states results in a practical plan for a leveling up process, bring ing tax slackers up to the mark of their full duty, the tax relief com mission as well will prove to be something of a farm relief com mission as well and will mater ially lighten the load of the small property holder who suffers the most under the present inequal ities. Listening Easy. SOONER or later national or ganizations will learn that a real grievance or issue cannot be brushed aside. For a fact it is almost an impossibility because sooner or later it will assert itself here or there and maybe in a new dress not quite as mild as in its original form. All of this has to do with the action of the Ameri- Songs of Plain Folks 3 "Keeping Store" Little romance in "keeping store" Folks buy coffee and beans and flour, Sugar and apples and salt and more Flour and sugar, hour after hour; They pinch the apples and shake the eggs Till I'd chuck it all and I'd go. away. I'd leave these prunes and vinegar kegs But, here's a letter I got today. It say3 "I'm p-oud of you, Joe, old dear, The way you're sticking and making good I'm glad I'm finishing school this year To be your wife as I said I would." Man!

DtFrank Crane Says Don't Worry About Our Sport Urge Many say that the country has gone "football crazy." They point out the fact that Rome's downfall was preceded by the gift to the people of games and bread. The parallel between the bloody amusements of ancient times, however, and the football of today is not very close. Football is a clean sport and the more energy people put out in sport of this strenuous kind the less energy they will be dis posed to spend in war. Football calls for the last ounce of physical strength, to gether with intellectual alertness. Last year there was an attendance of 79,500 at the game between Stanford and Southern California. Fifty-five thousand saw the Harvard play, 70,000 watched Ohio State and about 75,000 seats were sold for the U. S. C.-Notre Dame game in Los Angeles. Many applicants were rejected for lack of space. The attendance of large groups at football games is a good omen and those who gather from this that the country is going to the dogs are mistaken. One difference noted between other countries on the one hand and England and the United States on the other is that England's people play. Sport is an institution and to be a good sport is a synonym of having a good disposition. The children of France and Italy and Germany need to be taught more how to play, for play is the natural outlet of youthful exuberance and the more a nation plays intelligently the better off it is. One of the excellent efforts of the Y. M. C. A. and similar organizations abroad has been to organize the boys and girls into play groups. Play of children abroad seems to take a more -destructive tendency. A movement has made consider able headway in the United States to have teachers upon the play grounds and to instruct th children in healthy sports as well as the three R's. Altogether play is a good thing, and should be encourgaed. The more the principles of fair play are introduced into busi ness the better off for business, and the more business becomes a sport the more it will attract followers. can Bankers' association recently, refusing a place on its convention program for a discussion of the farm problems. It was hardly a wise decision. There is no more vital or im portant question before the nation today than our farm problem and of a financial nature too. Mil lions of people are involved rep resenting not only a basic indus try but the most basic industry. What if the spokesman of the banker group interested in agri cultural relief had submitted a few unsound theories or unjust attacks upon the bankers? Isn't it always better to destroy such reasoning in the arena of open de hate than to give them extended life by refusing a hearing? Over the long haul the bankers will find that through talking things over with the farmer they will come to understand each oth er better. "Fifty-Fifty." IF BUT 50 per cent of our peo ple were enough interested in government to go to the polls in our last national election, may it not be due in large measure to the fact that leadership is grasped by men of babbling tonques rather than by those of functioning brains? It was not always so in America. It has never been so much so as today. And it is due to one of two reasons to the in ability of the leaders to think, or to a moral cowardice which per suades them to conceal their thoughts. Men are seeking the Presiden tial nomination as leaders if you please who, on vital issues, posi tively refuse to lead or even think James Jhvis HatjS A n It m &MM 1 aloud. This means an utter lack of essential qualities; for if they have no ideas or plans they are not fit, and if they have ideas they dare not utter they are unfit. They lack either the mental capacity or the moral qualities for which the mass of people are waiting and thus far in vain. Little wonder that 50 per cent of the people are too cynical or indifferent to vote when the is sues that vitally concern millions, the success of our institutions and the good of society are utterly ig nored by the very men who aspire to the leadership of the Nation. Let the candidates remove their mufflers and their rubber heels, and like statesmen of the days when statesmen were leaders and thinkers, speak out and tell us where they stand on the Farm Problem, Prohibition, Immigra tion, Flood Relief, Tariff, etc, etc. Then will the Presidential cam paign mean a real debate to which the public interest will respond. The great Texas mystery now is whether the man in a storm drinking moonshine was killed by lightning from the sky or the bottle. Few of these coast to coast au tomobile trips are on the square. It's only drivers looking for a place to park. Weaving Ladies, I will weave your rags into beautiful rugs and carpets. They will make nice Christmas pres ents Jor your friends. Price reason able.
