. Congratulations to Ihe Fed
jjjal Reserve. That Institution,
established to stabilize . credit
and prevent pauies, succeeded
: mi ; creating a baby panic ': in
"Vall Street Tuesday, knocking
down prices of good stock and
bad stocks especially good.'
'A la'nb usually soils his good
stocks to protect his bad stocks.
' The Federal Reserve advisory
council rccomhicnded an in
crease i'l discount rates. ;
Fifteen and 20 per cent usury,
doesn't satisfy some financial
,g gentlemen. It seems pleuty to
T ! those that Pay it. : ;'
Wall Street heard tile news
'.and prices slumped. J If ( the
Federal .'.Reserve' had been es
tablished to make monoy ex
pensive, alid credit uncertain,
and to injure business, it would
i be a success. -
'' On Tuesday an army plane
circled over Governor's Island,
flew up broadway abovo Man-,
hftttau's richest district, theo
retically, "bombed' New York"
and es'capod to Washington. ' ;
, : ' Anti-aircraft . dofoliscs knew
the, attack was coining, but no
body saw the bombing plane.
Anti-aircraft, guiis, , werct thco-.
rctically aiid actually useless -
If it. iiud been real. 'attack
there would. have been 50 bomb
ing planes instead1 oi one, and
the planes would nob have "es
caped to Washington.,,!' as Was
done oil Tuesday " V ',
'They would have floWlt. from
New York to a mother ship, 100
or 200 miles off shore, taking
on a new load of bombs, and
then going to bomb Washing
ton, and, with poison gas, wipe
out every public official from
the capitol to the White Hone.
If our air defense caniiot even
locate and theoretically, repel
one bombing plan, after having
been warned in advance of its
'coming, what chance would our
big cities have agaiust bombing
planes and swift pursuit planes
launched unexpectedly . from
ships bff shore? '

Wonderful Moyd George, lie

had nj,ver managed a world war
Or been subject to any strain.
In the unpronounceable town
of Pcnmacnmawf, Lloyd George
told a erowd of Welshmen and
Englishmen, "I would condemn
Wiuston Churchill fnr a whole
month to push a perambulator
along a road without any footpaths.'-';'
Lloyd George, would put un
employed Britishers sto J work
improving old roads,' building
ncw roads, and .establishing
ootpotljs for women-with baby

Winston Churchill, chancellor
of the exchequer, rides in an

waste." '
New; York, according to its
able police commissioner, Mr.
Whale, possesses 32,000 speak

Contrary to Advice of At

The Capital Journal will say today
that there la possibility of an in
junction1 suit , against ; the state
board of control to quash the ap
pointment, of John H. ' Carkin of
Medford as a member of the state
tax commission, provided- by an
act of the' 1929 legislature. .
,."The " appointment of Carkin.
announced Wednesday by the state
board,'! the Journal will say, "is
plainly contrary to advice con
tained in an opinion by Attorney
General Van Winkle, written seve
ra I weeks ago, in reply to an in
quiry by Governor Patterson when
Carkin's appointment was first
under consideration. Carkin's mem
bership on the board, unless sub
stantiated by an opinion of the
supreme court, will mean that
every act of tho commission will
be in. danger, of attack In the
courts -on grounds of illegality..
Van Winkle's opinion is based on
a decision of the Oregon supreme
court" In the case of state ex Tel.
Smith, vs.. Kozer, which involved
the status of ' the supreme court
itself, the question at Issue being
whether the- court of seven jus
tices constituted seven offices or
only one. Tho court held that It
was only ono office.", .., 4,
. Van Winkle began his opinion
to" the governor by saying:; '. ,;'
' - "T havc for consideration your

WhoUiep' or "not a1 trrembcr of the
35th: legislative assembly Is' quali

provided by house bill No. 199 of
s'Rl-: assembly, which is chapter
466, general laws of Oregon,
1929."
The attorney general o n d b d,
after citing authority, by: .
"My opinion therefore, Is that
your question should bo answered
In the negative ,,
Cites Antlwrlty.
Citing the supremo court opin
ion in the Smith vs. ICoster case
as authority. Van Winkle held
that tho t tax commission is one
office and not three offices. Slnco
the leglslaturo provided that tho
combined compensation of tho
threoi members would be more
than is paid for the ono salaried
position on the old commission.
Van Winkle held that this was an
increase in the salary of the office
by authority of tho legislature
of which Carkin whs a member.
On this point, together with the
ruling that the three positions
are .not distinguishable one from
tho other under' the 'J law, .tho
opinion barred by any member
of the 1929 legislature from ap
pointment. The board of control's view of
the sltuatlon'vtolates Van Winkle's
opinion In that tho board considers
each position, on the commission
as a separate office.
SALKM, Ore., May 23. (IP)
Charles V. Galloway of Portland,
Earl Fisher of Salem and John
Carkin of Medford are the mem
bers of tho. new state super-tax
commission provided by tho 1 929
legislature, with authority to exer
cise jurisdiction over tax questions
throughout the state.
Galloway for several years has
been connected with the Hibcrnla
Bank' of Portland. Prior to that
he was state tax .commissioner,
having served for 10 years. He is
a Democrat. Fisher Is the present
state , tax commissioner, having
served since 1922. Prior to thut
he lived at Albany and was for
no me years assessor of Linn coun
ty. Carkin is a veteran legislator
and was chairman of tho special
legislative tax Committee that
sponsored most of the tax bills
considered by the 1929 legislature.
Including the one providing for the
new tax commission. He was
speaker of the house In 1927.
Galloway and Fisher will receive
salaries of 14800 a year each.
Carkin will receive 14000. The
reason that Carkin will receive the
smaller salary is the constitutional
Inhibition against a person being
appointed to an office the salary
of which has been Increased by a
legislature of which he was a
member. Thero in also an Inhibi
tion against a member of the legis
lature that created an office being
appointed to serve In the office,
but Attorney General Van Winkle
held recently that the super-tax
commission Is not a new office,
but merely takes the place of the
