Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THS ELEVENTH measure on the
bsllot Is known ss the tax super
vising and conservation bill.
Putting it briefly, it proposea lor
each county in the state a super
board of three members, non-salaried,
which will have power to review and
REDUCE, If it so chooses, levies made
by the regular tax-levying bodies.
The bill Is one of three sponsored
by the governor's tax reduction com
mittee. SUCK a board, as you can readily
see, would have a lot of power. II
it were made up of the right kind of
men. It might do a lot of good. Under
certain circumstances, it might con
ceivably do some harm. -
Its value would depend entirely on
the kind of men composing the board.
THIS writer will vote FOR the meas.
ure, without flaming enthusiasm,
not expecting It to accomplish much;
voting for it chiefly on the grounds
of willingness to try anything once
if it looks like a good Idea.
IT IS this writer's belief, repeated
1 over and over in this column, that
effective, permanent and WISE tax re.
ductlon can't be brought about merely
by passing a, law, for here In Oregon
where we have direct legislation, the
people can upset with their votes
any law that they pass with their
votes.
Effective, permanent and WISE tax
reduction can be brought about only
by convincing a majority of those who
vote that excessive tsxatlon Is unwise,
unsound and antagonistic to the com
fort, the happiness and the welfare
Of EVERY PERSON.
That, It la well to repeat, can be
brought about only by education o
the voting public.
rvrsHE twelfth measure on the ballot
A IS Known as tno personal luwurc
tax law amendment bill. Its purpose
la to INCREASE personal Income taxe
rates and REDUCE exemptions.
That Is to say, if this measure Is
adopted, you will pay higher rates
and get smaller exemptions assum
ing, of course, that you are so fortu
nate as to have a net Income to be
taxed.
THIS writer, who favors the prln
1 clple of Income taxation, will vote
AGAINST this amendment, believing
that existing rates are high enough
and that raising them still higher will
tend further to drive wealth out or
Oregon and Into other states.
THE thirteenth and last measure on
the ballot Is known as the state
I water power and hydro-electric con
stitutional amendment. It ' Is in
tended to strengthen the power bill
adopted two years ago.
Specifically, It permlta the legisla
ture to Issue, without vote of the peo
ple, SIXTY-FIVE MILLION dollsrs
of additional bonds with which to
put the etate into the power busi
ness. tUST whst the sponsors of this
aJ measure propose to do with this
865,000,000 Is not known. But a hint
Is contained in the provision that
development may be done "separately
or with the United States."
Apparently, somebody has It In
mind to make it possible for the
state of Oregon to help the govern
ment in developing the water power
resources of the Columbia.
i That might be a good Idea, some
day although Southern Oregon will
always wonder what It has to gain
out of development of the power re
sources of the Columbia.
Tns writer, who la not opposed to
public development and owner
ship of power resources If satisfactory
rates and service can be obtained in
no other way, will vote AGAINST thla
amendment, believing that at present
and for many years to come the state
of Oregon haa all the debt It can hope
to pay off and that It should not rush
Into additional debt until its finances
are In far better condition than now.
THE sdvlce that has been
here
given on the bsllot measures Is
merely the personsl opinion of one In
dividual, snd Is not Intended to In
fluence In sny way the opinions of
anyone else.
Tou should study these measures
on the bsllot. They sre Important.
Some of them affect In a materlsl
wsy the future policies of the stste
of Oregon. They will be sdopted or

NEW YORK, Nov. 3. (AP)
Lightning action saved Ruth Nichols,

As the plane, freighted with
large supply of gasoline, shot down
a 3000-foot runway at Floyd Bennett

hour, went Into a ground loop and
burled Its left wing In the ground.
Quick as a flash, before the craft
struck. Miss Nichols cut her switch,
to prevent her gasoline from catch
ing fire and burning the plane and
herself.
Ambulances clanged to the scene
as Miss Nichols stepped out of the
badly damaged ship.

ing to conceal her exasperation over
the mishap, "nothing can hurt such
an old hand at this game as I am.'

CORNERED RACE IN
HEAR BAILEY ON
T
In an address today noon at Cop-
pin's cafe before members of the
Business and Professional Women's
club and guests, Ralph Bailey of the
local high school staff discussed the
Zorn-MacPherson measure, the truck
and bus bill, the Income tax bill,
the Rogue River closng measure, and
t,he repeal of the Addison bill, which
will appear on the general election
ballot next week.
He . opposed, the Zorn-MacPherson
measure because of the Inconsistency
with which It was drafted, he stated,
pointing out that a measure bring
ing about a change of such magni
tude as coniKilldatlon of schools ;
should Involve an educational pro
gram of over 00 years and cannot be
brought about In a few weeks or a
few months. The bill would cost the
people of Oregon a million and a half
to house the Increase In the student
body at Corvallls, he also stated.
The truck and bus bill was op
posed by Mr. Bailey on the grounds
that.lt would scrap the entire equip
ment of the truck and bus compa
nies, Instead of extending the pro
gram over a number of years. Mr.
Bailey favored the Income tax meas
ure on the grounds that It would
bring Increased revenue Into the
state, and the Rogue River closing
bill, .with the explanation that the
revenue to be brought In through
recreational channels would far ex
ceed the revenue now realized from
the small amount of commercial fish
Ing done.
The speaker opposed the bill for
repeal of the Addison act, claiming
It would create a chaotic condition
tn the prohibition laws of the state.

NEW YORK, Nov. t There should
be a moratorium called on candi
dates' speeches. They have called
each other everything tn the world
they can think of. From now on
they are Just talking themselves out
of votes. The high office of presi
dent of the United States has degen
erated Into two ordinarily fine men
being goaded on by their political
leeches Into saying things that If -they
were In their right minds they
wouldn't think of saying.
Imagine Dir. Hoover Monday night
"Any change of policies will bring
disaster to every fireside In America."
Of all the conceit! This country n
thousand times bigger than any
two men In It or any two parties in .
It.
These big politicians are so serious
about themselves and their parties.
This country hss gotten where tt is
In spite of politics, not by the aid
pf. It. That we have carried as much
political bunk as we have and still
survive shows we are ft super nation.
If by some divine act of providence)
we could get lid of both these parties
and hire some good man like any -other
big business does, why that
would be sitting pretty.
This calamity was brought on by
the actions of the people of the
whole world and Its weight will be
lifted off by the actions of the peo
ple of the whole world and not by
a Republican or a Democrat,
go yon two boys Just get the weight
of the world off your shoulders and
go fishing.
Both of yon claim you like to fish.
Now Inntead of calling each other
names till next Tuesday, why you
ran do everybody favor by going
fishing, and yon will be aurprlsrd.
but the old t'nlted Htates will keep
right on running while you bos are
sitting on the bank. Then come back
next Wednesday and ws will let yoo
know which one Is the lesser of the
two evils. Yours,
