The Having of the former only involves millions; the Kiiviiij; of te hitter woyld involve BILLIONS.;' . , , ., ; ) There arc over 4,000,00Q men under armg today in Europe iilono. According to the World Almanac, over half of. every dollar in national taxes is spent for preparations for war. In three countries ; this proportion js much larger. In other worcjs' avar, moratorium would cut taxes in half, For each year llio; moratorium W!'s observed, approximately four hilliotis of dollar Would ic saved.

In fact, why not forget tho war IDEA ENTIRELY? , '"An idle dream, of course.- 1 ' " ' , " ' ' But WHY an idle dreamt FEAR that is the only answer plain unreasoning and UN REASONABLE fear. With millions of unemployed, with thousands facing want and starvation, with national treasuries depleted, there is no more REAL danger of war between any of the world powers than there is of tho end of the world in fact, somo will savj not as much. , ' '' '. ., Awl yet then? .name world pove.ro are today spending over HALF oT every dollar they can scrape together from the hard pressed taxpayers, to lie .ready for 'that war.-r-th wqr that every sane person knows is not to como for another deeado at least. . f . . . ...

"There Is leas truth today than there once was In the declaration that the world will beat a path to a man's door, even In the forest wilderness. It he make a better mousetrap than any other man. In local distribution of a product made by hand and limited In output, that might have been true. But where a state produces each year 40,000 carloads of a product, the bulk of which must be sold outside the state and a large amount In for eign countries, merit of the product alonv Is not sufficient to more It quickly at profitable prices.

I' 1 ; . .. i The Farm Problem 4 ' Action, the Need (Judge) Fancy Economy -- To Glorify Julius (Salem Capital-Journal) The estimate of Ben Wing, named recently by Governor Meier and State Treasurer Rufus Holman to handle , the Job of collecting (20 a month from the various counties for Inmates committed to state institu tions such as 'the asylum, that the new statute would return to the state some (300,000 during the blen nlum seems to have been prema ture and somewhat exaggerated. In fact. It appears extremely doubtful if the state receives any thing. '' Wing, Governor Meier. Holman ond advocates of the plan whereby the Meier administration would be en abled to claim credit for another "tax reduction" economy by the simple expedient of transferring the burden of caring for the mentally deficient and other dependent wards from the shoulders of the state to those of the counties calculated without taking Into consideration tho fact' that the counties might have different ideas. Multnomah county's court, for In stance, has no' idea whatever of being made the goat 'for the subtcr fiLM nf t.hA' Meier administration. and has flatly ond bluntly stated that It does not intena k ao sny tHinir ahniil-. ;t.h.

Marlon county feels something the same way about it and Is asking tho attorney general's opinion as to tho constitutionality of the law. In formation from other parts of the state Is to the effect that several counties will assume the same atti tude. If the state Is going to col lect that (20 a month per head It Is going to have to do more than ask for It. What that something may be is uncertain, for It does not .nnaaK that tIA TUirt COllld bV BhV stretch of the constitution and the statutes, consistently order tne coun ties to pay again for what they have already paid. t , If there Is any public question more batXllug than tho plight of agricul ture, wo don t know what It Is. Take for example tho present state of the grain market. The spring wheat forecast Indicates a yield for lowor than any for the past fifteen years. But the wlntor wheat orop looks to bo tho biggest in history, except for the year 1019. The total crop, therefore, la some IB million bushels above last year. But the Canadian yield Is somo 200 mU lion bushels' less. Putting two" and two together but wait a minute, the farm board has 300 million In storage, which tndcr Its present policy mtglit be thrown on tho market at the rote of 5 million bushels a month. President Hoover contributes to the confusion by a 'public attack on spec ulators who sell wheat short. Others protest that short selling Is a useful function and might even be "a bless ing to farmers." And so on and so 3n. It Is quite hopeless for the layman to try to understand It. Imtced It Is a sew re- question- whether any one person can understand it. Taken as a whole the agricultural problem Is one of thso that are too large to be pass ed through any one brain In a single lifetime. And In thla case two heads do not seem to be better than one because no two heads have been able to agree on what should be done. It Is Just about a hundred years now slnco a pleasant agrarlau culture began to feel the pressure of Indus trial forces. Machines, a drift to the cities, a new class dominating finance and politics, tariffs, world relations the whole complex structure grew up around the farmer and walled him away from the prevailing prosperity. Now, however the structure begins to sway and topple, the heaviest bricks fall on the farmer. We have no pet theory to offer. We are very skeptical about the pet theo ries of others. At the some time we believe that now. as at no time lb the past century, It Is Important to listen patiently to every proposal for relief and to test out those which has rea sonable scrutiny. And, above all, we must cry down those queerly blind people who insist that the farmer Is getting along all right and that he I Just a lasy loafer and a chronic whlner. This nation will not be Mght until It clears Its record not only of Its city slums but also of its poverty- trtcken countrysides. . r The NOBLE EXPERIMENT f And Drinks For Girls (S, F.

ANOTHER SALARY RISE Formers who ore struggling to moke ends meet and laborers who are work ing for half what they used to get will hardly be expected to sympathize with the state program of boosting salaries. A heck of a howl goes up when the legislature votes salary rises, but now we have an economy administration that is doing what the legislature In days 'of prosperity might not dare to do. Tho Sentinel has already colled at tention to Beveral salary rises. Now comes a boost for the budget director from (4,800 to (6,000. (Farmers who ore selling oggs and potatoes ot less than the cost of pro duction are likely to' feel that, for the present at least, the budget di rector could hove struggled along on $400 a month, which probably - was high a wage as he ever got when he was a newspaper reporter, and ' who probably works half as many hours as he worked when ho was a news paper reporter. 6am Kozer, who was budget direct or before he was replaced by Henry Hazcn, voluntarily asked that his sal ary be cut from (6,000 to (4.800, largely on the grounds that the Job requires only about half time except preceding and during legislative ses sions. It would seem that no one Is better qualified for tho Job than Sam ICozer, who was In the secretary of state s oince for ' many years. ' Cer- tolnly the present director can not be expected to do a bettor Job than Sam would hove done, for ho had no previous experience whatever to qualify him for the Job. This writer likes Henrv Hanzon, Henry Is a first class newspaper man, but we con't see how the governor is going to Justify paying on Inex perienced man (o,000 a year when an experienced man was willing to work for (4,800. Not only that, but It Is this writer's recollection that tho legislature al lowed only (4,800 for 3alary of the budget director,. It would be Inter esting to know how the chief execu tive Is going tp set aside the intent of the legislature. Thi9 writer falls to see- -how the boosting of thla particular salary fits in In any 'way with the efficiency and ecenomy program on which the govornor was elected. The new di rector con hardly be as efficient as theone who was displaced, and . the one displaced was willing to work for the salary provided by the legislature. Of course Director Honzen is also one of the chief advisers tu the gov ernor, and In that capacity he may be worth the extra (1.200. probably Is worth thot much or more, but ex penditures for gubernatorial, advisers should come out of direct appropria tions for' conduct of the governor's cfflce.
