tial .rieiubv, instead, of a rich one with many, he would have
en in jail long ago, instead of enjoying four years of freedom
following )iis conviction. ' '
Jn 'our opinion ex-Secretary Pall is getting just what, he, de
serves. True, K. L. tloheney, the' man accused of giving' the
bribe, was acquitted, but is that any argument that. Secretary
Fall should also have been acquitted, or that he should not be
punished ! MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE IN ! ONE' CASK,

DON'T MAKE A RIGHT. , ." ,
' ' ' ,f"';;: ' '
MOREOVER we don't agree with tliosc who maintain' the
giver of a bribe sliould ALWAYS be considered oqually
guilty, with the receiver. The givor in. this case, for example,
in offering this "loon "'to his old-time friend, betrayed blinself,
but he didn't betray his country ; lib violated tho code of an lion
est man, but liq didn't violate his sacred oath of office,' AVhen
a man accepts a position of trusi and 'honor, lie also accepts
greater moral responsibility than the man who remains in pri
vate life, both tho giver and taker are guilty, but the latter
more culpable, for it is his action that clinches the crime. '
A NOTIIER point. The sort of sentimentality which pulls the
ti'eiholo stop as Mr.' Pall goes to jail is; we believe, one of
largest factors in stimulating the crime wave in this country.
Its basis lies in a moral instability. We are horrified by a
crime when it is committed ; but when, after months or years
pass,' tho time comes for punishment, we,--or at least; 'ninny of
us forget entirely about the crime und only feel sorry for the
individual who is to be punished for it. I
.As a result public opinion so often supports clemency' which
isn't deserved, welcomes pardons which ore not justified, anil
the entire structure of criminal justice, which must be kept en
til'ely free from sucli influences tq bo effective, is thus wfcalf
ened and demorali.ed. . . . '
FROM ONE EXTREME EO ANOTHER
WE FEAft it can't be avoided. Unless nll .signs fail, the
present movement for reducing tuxes will go too far in
one.direclion, as the mania for spending the taxpayers' money
did in the other. ...
There is now an orgunjzed. lpovoment up-iitate to' adopt the In
diana plan of looal tax' regulation. This plrni' wpuld deprive
this, and every other, ooinmuiiity of home rule in tax matters,
and hand over control to a bureaiiuraoy in Salem.
It is also advocated that a three-fourths vote be required to
pass any 1)ond issue. Such o measure would, of course, render
it impossible for any district to bond itself for a public improve
ment, no inalter how necessary that improvement might be.
THE movement tat reducing tnxes is a natural ami necessary

; America's public. debts: Ib now
Umost 17 billion dollars. ... A year
ago It was only 10 uunons. inis
Is because, due to tho depression,
the government's revenues - from
the income i tax amf from tariffs
has fallen off. Its expenses, be
cause of the drouth, soldier, and
fasm reliefs,-have Increased. .
i Just after the wnr, America; set
about 'retiring her big' war debt
at .the rata: of about, half a billion
a year through the income tax
revenues. Presently along came
the Coolldge boom. Incomes of big
corporations and: rich Individuals
grew rapidly. Mr. Mellon pointed.
out that the income tax was rats-,
ing much more than was necessary
ta retire the war debt at the even
rnte of half a billion a year.
.Whereupon all the millionaires
In the country began squawking
that - Income tax rates should be
reduced. The progressives in tho
senate Borah. Brookhart, Cou
zens, Norrls and LuFollette op
posed this. - "Keep the rate of tax-.
ation where It is," they said, "and
in these times of boom prosperity;
uho the surplus money to. reduce
the national debt faster than we
now aro doing."
But tho senate . progressives
were overruled. How did a bunch
of wild-eyed : radical politicians
presume to set their class pre
judices up against the sober, ex
perienced judgment of the great-
est secretary of the treasury since
Hamilton? So, amid the cheers
and whistles - of the millionaires,
Secretary Mellon removed sur
taxes from big Incomes, and in
stead of being UHed to retire the;
national debt, the money went into
the stock market to inflate Btock
values,- nnd Into Industry . which
expanded more rapidly than the
demand, resulting in the present
economic debacle. '
Now that the' depression has
shriveled the big Incomes so that
the Income tax will not-meet-expenditures,
what does Mr. Mellon
propose to do? He opposes rais
ing the rate on large Incomes,-
that would - "hurt business."' In
stead he proposes either to lower
the Income tax rates, taking In
smnll Incomes which now are- not
taxed,' or else, better still, to levy
a. sales tax, which' would fall on
rich and poor equally, out -of uny
possible relation to their ability
to pay.
Just what are the- - financial
principles behind ' Mr. Mellon's
wizardry which ' our friends ' the
rich esteem so highly? Well,
there are two. First, during the
boom,' he prevented a treasury
surplus (which could have been
used to, retire the national debt)
by lifting the tnxes off the rich.
Second, during the depression,, he
proposes' lo prevent' the treasury
.deficit by piling more taxes .on
the poor. . :
These are the parlor tricks tso
far performed by the Wizard of
Pittsburgh, Pa..

TIME TO QUIT
This Meier-Hoss feud at Salem
makes spick reading but poor
medicine for its principals and the
state. It has reached the point
of silliness and pettiness. It is
time for the confidants ot both
malcontents 'to arrange a truoe
that they might shield them from
future embarrassment and save
the state loss of its dignity.
The row started over the dom
ination of the state board of con
trol and Governor Meier won
when death took. State Treasurer
Tom Kay. Since providence step
ped in to decide the issue, Sec
retary of State Hal Hoss has no
alternative other than to retire to
his. cyclone cellar and run his own
department the best he . knows
how-i He hasn't the ghost of a
show.::tO" put- over .any program
or. to .put into, effect any Ideas.
The best, he can do is to grin
and bear It. ' So. when-the gov
ernor asks : for favors In -the as
signment, of special automobile li
cense e: numbers,, the secretary
should , either grant the request
moekly or courteously refuse and
close, the chapter. There la no
chance for hlm to make a deal
in the interest of his pet state
vault project..
. Meier and Hoss have mutually
agreed to disagree and they leave
no stone unturned to show it. But,
both of them are running the
danger of impairing their stand
ing, with the. public as they each
attempt to belittle the other. And
the- poor old ship of state is com
ing in for a lot .of. humiliation
as it watches Its two officials
quarrel.
. - Hoss will do well to humor the
governor, for the state executive
appears to be accustomed to that
sort of treatment. And the gov
ernor will' do well to consider
some of Hal's Ideas, too, because
some--of--them might have, merit
In them. Stute officials who turn
down projects because political
opponents desire them are not al
ways standing on .firm .ground,.

'Flaming youth are having their
flame extinguinhed. They cannot

think they were a conflagration.
During i the war youth suddenly

$3 a day, but it takes a wise young
headi to keep from flaming on $8
to $15 a day. It is the applica
tion of the same old iwell thumb
ed und motheaten rule of life that
money Is . the root of nil evil. At
$10 to $12 a day youth can burn

None of the prupoyxils made by
Governor Alwler reveal so clearly
tho executive's lack of tuuler
standiTig of tho fundamentals of
democratic government ns his of
fer, made In all seriousness, to pay
out of his own pocket, the cosl
of the proposed special session of
the legislature. To this end, he
Is reported as probing the actual
expenses und bargaining for hos
telry accommodations on a mass
basis.
The governor Is a millionaire
ami perhaps can nfford such lux
uries, but how about tho legis
lators? If they accept his hos
pitallty. It will be conditional upon
obeying his orders. That Is the
way he Is built. They were elect
ed to represent the people and
should be paid only by the peo
ple. They were not chosen to
represent the governor, no mat
ter how altruistic his purposes.
The precedent once established
of holding special sessions whose
expenses are paid by others than
tho people, there Is no saying how
far the nbuse would go. In the
present Instance perhaps only the
welfare of the state, as It Is given
the governor to see it. Is concerned
but some other governors might
b influenced by ulterior motives
nnd some hidden source secretly
furnish tho funds for expected
favors.
In Its final analysis, this special
session talk Is merely camouflage
to provide an ntlbl for the gov
ernor, who promised drastic reduc
tion in taxation and finds he can
not deliver the munis, and hence
desires to pass the buck to the
local taxation bodies. Having ap
proved legislative appropriations
for $1 .47 7. .1 4 7 In excss of stnte
revenues, he would throw the
blame for high taxation on others.
So enamoured are the people,
however, of the Idea of tax re
duction, that there Is scarcely a
protest voiced, nut by the kept
metropolitan press nt any rste,
over the noble experiment of pros
(timing the legislature also as a
privately kept body for the en
hancement of autocracy. They
are evidently perfectly willing lo
have their Inherent rights Insid
iously taken away under the slo
gan of saving the people.

The revolutionary character
. of . tho New. Plymouth has
created a great flood of in
terest. Even the hardiest of
skeptics are so amazed at this '
new four that performs like
an eight that they ask eagerly
for the facta behind this tre
mendous accomplishment.
What is Floating Power?
Floating Power is a term ap
plied to the new and revolution
ary principle of mounting the
engine in the car frame, devel
oped by Chrysler Motors engi'
neers for the New Plymouth.
Just how is the engine
mounted?
On two live-rubber mountings
nearly an inch thick. These
mountings are so placed that a
line drawn through them pas
ses through the center of grav
ity of the engine. Thus the
engine is suspended in perfect
balance.
What does
Floating Power do?
The live-rubber mountings al
low the engine to rock upon its
natural axis as if in a cushioned
cradle. Vibration is thus en
tirely eliminated from the car.
Why does Floating
Power succeed when all
other methods fail?
Because Chrysler Motors engi
neers have not tried merely to
dampen vibration; they have
achieved an entirely new prin
ciple which dissipates the
motor impulses sj that they
never reach the body and frame.
Why and How is Power
Increased?
Because the elimination of vi
bration allows higher compres
sion, which gives greater horse
power without increasing cyl
inder size. Floating Power
makes possible 56 brake-test
horsepower and actual stop
watch speeds of 65 and 70 miles
an hour, and pick-up from 0
to 40 miles in 9.7 seconds.
What else does Plymouth
offer?
A score of things! Plymouth's

advantages of the various types
now in use. As a result, it per
