The Legislative Fiasco
(I'rom rurtluiul Ort-goulau)
The a 1 tutted ypan of tho Ore

Tho legislature convened at
Salem in a time of tax distress
a nd business depression. Thoro
was plain need for tux relief by
reduction of governmental costs;
there was plain need for lutein
called "mandates" registered at
the polls for abolishment of I lie
public service commission and for
aets to promoto slate or municl
pal "development" of the water
powers of the state.
From this plainly marked path
the legislature has turned into
tortuous highways of experiment
and for editorial assistance for
blls either visionat'y. discrimin
atory or costly.
Instead of economy as a means
of tax relief, tax proposals that
engage tho attention of the law
makers arc mainly designed to
raise more money, or to transfer
burdens from one class to an
other, or to tax one element for
t" benefit of another element, or
