Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
TOMORROW the people of Roseburg
will celebrate the winning of the
two million dollar national soldiers'
home for their city.
They will be Joined In their cele
bration, In spirit, at least, by all of
Southern Oregon.
HERB la a great federal Institution
for which all the STATES of the
Pacific Coast fought actively, and at
times bitterly. It was located finally
In SOUTHERN OREGON.
That la something new. In- the
past, Southern Oregon hasn't even
been considered when such things
were under discussion. Roseburg has
shown the rest of Southern Oregon
what energy and determination and
working together for a common cause
can accomplish.
, For that valuable lesson, we all
thank her.
HERE Is a remark overheard by this
writer the other day. It was
made by a waitress at a lunch coun
ter: "I'm tired and sick of picking up
the papers and seeing nothing In the
headlines but Mere, filers, filers!
Can't they give us something else
occasionally?"
Here la one person, at least, who
lent alr-mtnded.
JUST a word, in explanation, not
DEFENSE, of the newspapers. .
The pages of the newspapers are a
reflection of those things in which
the public happens, at the moment,
to be chiefly Interested. During the
war, for example, there wasn't much
in the papers except war news, be
cause the war was what people were
thinking about and wanting to know
about.
The papers are full of flying news
now, because people everywhere are
deeply Interested In flying.
pHE ancient Greeksi who lived some
25 centuries ago, were so deeply
Interested In flying that they made
a myth, which means a fanciful tale,
of a daring boy who made wings of
wax and flew so near the sun' that
his waxen wings melted and he was
hurled back to earth.
Even 35 centuries ago, you see,
people were dreaming "of achieve
ments akin to flying around the
world, or flying over oceans.
rTWE Arabian' Nights tales',. spun by
a woman Intent upon diverting
the mind of an angry man, Included
one about a magto blanket, which
.involved the principle of -swift flight
from place to place through the air.
Scheherazade, the .woman .spinner
of these tales, knew centuries and
centuries ago what men were think
ing about and dreaming about.
YOU are a normal person, you
have dreamed, repeatedly,, during
your life of two experiences falling
from a great height and FLYING.
The psychologists have long and In
volved explanations of these dreams,
which are common - to -all -people.
These explanations point out that

OPPOSE SALE TAX
IDEA OF E
Convention Delegates Say
Plan Under Any Name
Keeps Burden On Poor
Officers. Are Nominated
SALEM, Sept. 18. (AP) Indorse
ment of a luxury tax by a "farm or
ganization of the stare" brought
criticism from delegates to the 39th
annual convention of the Oregon
State Federation of Labor which clos
ed. Its session at noon today with
nomination of officers and the selec
tion of Astoria as the 1933 conven
tion city. With but few minor ex
ceptions, present officers were nomin
ated to succeed themselves. Ballot
will be by referendum vote with the
officers to be seated January 3, 1933.
Efforts to change the constitution
and by-laws of the federation were
defeated after violent debate during
the morning.
Distribution At Fault
Taxes are not too high but the tax
burden Is not equitably distributed
it was reported by committee to the
convention, which also held that It
Is popular fallacy to blame the eco
nomic depression upon high taxes,
particularly In the case of property
owners and real estate.
The committee believed that If the
farmers were relieved of all taxes they
still would not be prosperous until
they are assured of good markets for
farm products.
The farmer was held to suffer not
because Income Is absorbed by taxa
tion but because of entire loss of
Income. Change of the entire base for
tax levy was advocated and it was
pointed out that adoption of a sales
tax, by any name, only keeps the
burden on the poor.
Solve Job Problem
Permanent solution to the unem
ployment problem lies In shorter
hours and higher wages In private In
dustry with temporary and lmme-
dlate relief measures by government
aid, trie convention agreed. Another
favorable action suggested that high
ways be widened rather than new
ones constructed. Hand work rather
than machinery was advocated for
present relief of the unemployed,
Resolutions approved pertained to
unemployment Insurance, with prin
ciples favored, referred to the exec
utive board and their commenda
tions turned over to the interim com
mittee authorized at the 1931 legis
lative assembly. Criticism of condi
tions existing at the Boulder dam
site were also sent to the executive
board. '
William Cooper, Portland, who has
served as president of the Oregon
Federation of Labor for the past six
years and Ben T. Osborne, Portland,
executive secretary-treasurer, who has
a like term to his credit, were unop
posed for re-election. M. Povo, Port
land labor council president and vice
president of the federation, was re
nominated and Is opposed by Miss
Mae Darling, also of Portland.
