Britain Also Speculates.
What Use Is Science?

(Copyright 12S, by Btr Co.)-
Spoculntion in the Ford Brit
ish compnny, called' '"Ford,
.id.," is almost as active in
Iritniu ns it is here. The stock,
sold originally to the British
hy Ford at -0 shillings a share,
now sells at "73 shillings pre
mium," which menus 95 shill
ing a share.
The British probably have
heard how .Senator Councils, of
Detroit, put about $2000 in the
original Ford company and
took out .1:10,000,000 in cash.
Such things don't usually hap
pen twice.
''What is the use of sci
ence?" is sometimes asked.
A geologist answered a Brit
ish ennl mine owner, "You have
wasted fortunes boring for coal
where there was none. I could
have told you to stop and save
your money wlieuuver you came,
to a certain formation in the
earth. Never any coal below
that formation. It came before
the coal was formed."
;
A gathering of scientists in
New York Wednesday was told
by an expert of the Metropoli
tan Life Insurance Company
that "more than 500,000 chil-!
drn in the United States had
been saved from orphanages
because science has extended
the span of human life."
' To keep alive fathers and
mothers, until the children arc
grown, is certainly useful work.
And science forgets supersti
tion, the poison of the mind, as
the actinic rays fight strepto
cocci, in the blood stream.
Judge Kirkpatriek of the
1'niled States court says there
is nothing illegal about Bl'Y
lN'Ci bootleg whiskey. To
SKI, I., it is an offense, and to
have it transported is an of
fense. Hut merely to buy it is
not illegal.
. This protects customers of
the bootleggers. They have no
difficulty in protecting them
selves, sometimes with bribes,
sometimes with sawedoff shot
auns. Mr. Dnrant paid 25,000 for
"A Way to Enforce Prohibi
tion" that would NOT enforce
prohibition. . Make it a felony
to buy whiskey, bootleggers
will lose their customers, and
that will help prohibition.
4
Simply showing lack of re
spevt for the constitution does
jiot worry respectability much.
Hut committing a felony, with
the prospect of going to jail,
plus the danger of blackmail
ing by bootleggers, WOULD
make respectability think hard.
The United States census lui
veau reports 710 deaths of in
fluenza last week. There are
,250,000 new cases in this
country.
The death rnte is low in pro
portion to the number of eases
fotr.nately, but it is a danger
ous and growing epidemic.

mission. S
John II. C'nrkin, chairman of the
Ktruo lax conimiwHion, In a utate
ment issued today, sets forth that
the crux of the Oregon tax prob
lem Is the taxing of intangibles
and ot h c r forms of wenlih, no v
tree from taxation, ami the equali
zation of taxes, lie holds thai
these two principles are the foun
dation of tax relief.
The statement also contends
that the benefits of tho proposed
income tax have been exaggerated
and that press reports to the con
trary notwithstanding, the income
tax proposal was not the major
deliberation of the tax commission
"in its last session. It is held "that
the press reports left the public in
raihr a confused state."
The lax commission is unanim
ous thiit Intrtniriblea . should be
taxed, but difter on the method to
I be employed.
li is ul.ni held by -Mr. t'nrkin
th:it i rinn should postpone the
! adoption of any Income tax "for a
I roup le of years, until :iI the const
; Mates have adopted a similar per
sonal income I a ...' Tho three stales
i now have a uniform excise tax on
j banks and corporulions.
.Mr. OirUIn plans to Lave early
next wei U to attend the final
im-eiliiKs of tin; tax commission,
before the meeting of the legisla
ture. tiis statement in full is as fol
lows: . Ciu-kiii Si h lenient
I'pun returning from the meet
ings of tlie property tax relief
commission last week at which two
years work was boiled down, to
eight or ten major reeoinmenda
llons, I find that the press reports
of the. meeting.- has left the public
in rather a confused state of mind
and might convey the impression,
because of bitter discussion of the
income tax, that the Income tax
was the major portion of the com
mission's program, or that the
commission was , divided on its
other recommendations.
The truth is, remarkable as it
may seem with a commission com-
i posed of thirty-five men from all
walks of life, that the eight or ten
recommendations h a v e been
! agreed to unanimously by all fac
I lions. Not only this, hut they have
! met with the approval of slate
I officials and business and other
I groups generally, with which the
I commission has held conferences.
At the meeting last week the fol
lowing general principals were
unanimously adopted:
initialization.
Supporting the state by Indirect
taxes, so ns io relieve real properly
of State titx,
Reduction of state tax burden, on
real property.
Abolishing useless boards and
commissions.
Certain measures for reducing
local property taxes.
Measures to control bond Issues.
Improved budget proceedure
and uniform accounting.
And finally believing that too
much property wan escaping taxa
tion in Oregon the recommenda
tion is not for new taxes but to tax
property which Is now escaping as
follows:
Kxclse tax on hanks und
corporations to replace the tax
on banks declared invalid.
Taxation on stocks, bonds
and other intangibles und cer
tain other types of personal
property, salaries, etc., which
1 are now almost nltoge'hcr
escaping. ,
These recommendations are be
ing worked into the report this
week and the final meeting of the
commisf-lon will he held In about a
week to approvetho detailed rec
ommend at Ions after which publir
hearings on the bills will be held
for ten days, beginning the first of
j January.
Tax Intangibles
The commission is unanimous
j that intrgcihles and other wealth
whlvh is now escaping should be
0uxed. The only difference of
opinion being us to whether these
1 should ! taxed by u flat rsite in
tangible tux or by some sort of
income tax leuiNl.itlnn, some of the
commission extending that inas
much ns the W.'ee states. Oreuon,
Washington ami I'al nla huve
agreed on the same excise lax on
banks ami corporations, the three
states should wait a couple of
years or so, and have all of the
coast states adopt n imllir per
sonal income tax. Others of the
commission believe t hut a personal
income tax should be recommend
ed now. Home favor one with n
property offset and others without,
with n result that the commission
voted to have the sub-corn ml ttee
work out a property offset hill and
report it back to the commission
