talk at present about the Selective

selected what he wants untaxed,
there will be nothing to tax, as It
will concern only what the other fel
low sells. The Sales Tax should oover
very commodity, from arsenic to
slppere. Thus It will catch every
thing and everybody alike. Of course
this does not mean that the salea
tax ahould be so high that It Is
necessary to buy the shoe store to

haddle then garlic Is bought, there
will be more tax on finnan haddle

discriminate between the banker's

IJOW many people know there is a 20th amendment up for
ratfication.
To date 19 states have ratified, and the necessary 17 more,
are expected to do so.
Bather too bad, this amendment is not in force at the present
time. Under its provisions, the 73d congress elected two weeks
ago would assemble January 3d, instead of next December, 11
months later. '
The lame duck congress which will convene next month,
would be given what lame duck congresses deserve short
shrift. President-elect Roosevelt would assume office, two
months instead of four months after his election.
All of which would be decidedly to the good,
Nothing could more strikingly demonstrate the essential
conservatism of this country, than the retention of this archaic
procedure, which was suited to stage coach days, but went out
with the invention of the steam engine.
The Oregon legislature can contribute its bit to good' govern
ment by ratifying this amendment at its coming session.
F.R. Will Need Time
A CCOEDINQ to our information, apparently authentio, Presi
dent Hoover and Secretary Stimson, were willing to resign-
and by appointing Governor Roosevelt in the latter 'g place,
put the president-elect in power, four months before bis sched
uled inauguration.
Governor Roosevelt, however, declined the invitation with
thanks. In the first place he is Governor of New York, and has
muoh to do before his successor takes over the reins at Albany.
In the second place, he wants to go slow, and welcomes a breath
ing space of four months, during which he can iron out certain
internal difficulties in his party, and perfect his organization.
QUCH action is no doubt the better part of wisdom. It will
take all Governor Roosevelt has in political adroitness and
taot to harmonize the two conflicting elements in his party.
There is the AI Smith-McAdoo feud for example, there is the
irrepressible conflict between Joe Robinson and Huey Long,
there is the armed neutrality, only adhered to during the cam
paign, between such sworn enemies as Carter Glass and William
Randolph Hearst. Senator Norris also represents a problem,
for his political theories, harmonize with those of Owen D.
Young, like fire and water,
DRESIDENT Roosevelt will desire to retain the support of
all of these men, and the political power they represent,
but it will require nothing less than political genius to do so.
There is this to be said for Governor Roosevelt however,
he Is a very skillful politician, and is probably better fitted
to accomplish such a task than any other leader in his party.
But it will take careful planning and great patience, and
under conditions which prevail at present, politically and eco
nomically, we agree with fhe governor, four months will not
be too much time.
Communications
Temperance Not Prohibition.
To the Editor:
Frank Jenkins' comment In the
Mall Tribune of November 15 In re
gard to prohibition was very Inter
esting. I fully agree with him that
temperance (not prohibition) Is a
setf-dleclpUne that each good citlsen
should Impose upon himself.
I believe that aU the liquors should
be under absolute) government con
trol with a government label on each
bottle, and should be sold cheap
enough to undersell the bootleggers.
A fraction of the profit derived
from It should go to a fund to teach
moderation In uetng liquor, wine or
beer.
The churches, the schools, the
movies, and all lodges and clubs are
good places to teach people.
Those abusing the privilege and
making themeelvea a menace or nuis
ance should be dealt with all the
rigors of the law. whether on the
highways or elsewhere, and the crime
punishable by either federal, state) or
local laws.
The nam of aach violator ahould
be posted In conspicuous places and
also printed In the papers of their
communities.
Tes, let Uncle Sam get all the bene
fit, and not the doctors, the drug
gists or tha bootleggers.
I still remember when a little nip
of brandy would take the chill off
our spines In the muddy trenches of
France.

Now I contend, In the name of
health, that the so-called health or
educational authorities who sanction
or promote this school medical in
spection business are doing harm. At
the mm time X recognize that a
properly conducted periodic physical
examination of ALL the pupils n
any grade school or high school Is a
valuable thing for the health of the
few pupils who are found suffering
with a remediable defect or disease.
I do not blleve the expense of this
ihould be borne by the public or
that It ahould be charged against the
public funds. The coat of such med
ical service should be paid by those
who ask for It or accept It, Just as
provisions, clothing or shelter Is.

pupils will usually reveal one or two

Sales Tax With Shelter
Exemption Is Explained
In Series of Short Articles, J. C
Barnes Explains Details of
His Proposal to Lighten Tax
Burden on Workers
ARTICLE III.
Shelter Tax Exemption and the
Parmer.
In Articles I and II, I pointed out
how the present, state, county and
school taxee Imposed on shelter value
In a man's home, carrying with Its
excess Interest charges, was a heavy
burden on the back of the working
man. It la Just as heavy and unjust
a burden on the back of the farmer.
One hundred and fifty years ago,
Adam Smith wrote his four canons
of taxation. Here I will state the
iiret one, as It la the most Import
ant: "THE SUBJECTS OF EVERY STATE
OUOHT TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARD
THE SUPPORT OF HIS GOVERN
MENT AS NEARLY, AS POSSIBLE
IN PROPORTION TO THE REVENUE
THEY RESPECTIVELY ENJOY UN
DER THE PROTECTION OF THE
STATE."
One economist, writing on taxation,
In place of the word "enjoy" substi
tutes the phrase "can save." How
much can the average farmer "save"
annually? If he cannot sell his stir
plus products at a price above the
coat of production he can "save"
nothing and has no ability to pay
taxes, and his land should not he
taxed. When the farmer cannot sell
his surplus at something above the
coat of production, then the sooner
he sells the surplus land on which
these surpluses are produced the bet
ter off he will be. If land has ceased
to have value for the purpose of pro
ducing surpluses on, for what use
could land be put that would give it
a value?
Daniel Webster said, "Land Is the
sanctuary of man; not ta place to
grow rich on, but where he has a
better chance to develop courage,
honor and the oldest, moat becoming
virtues, It Is a place where a poor
man with six children and not a
dollar In his pocket can have a wide
roof over his head, a warm fire and
food three times a day In abundance,
without asking credit for It. His
sons are less liable to grow up to be
cheap sports, rowdies, gamblers and
gangsters."
This was written 100 years ago,
when the taxee on a considerable
estate could be paid with a few coon
skins. If shelter value on farm units
were now tax exempt, land would
again become a place of refuge for
the unemployed worker during peri
ods of depression: that Is, times when
the ability of the workers to buy
back the product of their labor la
out of balance.

Japanese army had acted at all times
only in self-defense, and declared
China la a disorganized state with
out responsible government.
But he expressed deep Indignation
when his turn came to speak, particu
larly at the last statement.
Japs Lack Argument.
"The use of such language In re
ferring to my country, an original
member of this League of Nations,"
he said, "not only reflects a lack of
propriety, but also betrays a sense of
hopelessness to find a really sound
argument for the Japanese case.1
Dr. Koo declared that Japan,
"while never ceasing to complain to
the world of a disgruntled China, per
sistently pursues a policy of prevent
ing unification."
There evidently la a sense of ap
prehension, he continued, "that
United China would be a blow to
her policy of expansion, her dream of
world conquest.'

I think me have gone a little stray

per cent general sales tax to offset
It, bring favorable comment from the
press of the United States or unfav
orable comment? One thing I as
sure you, Oregon would be on the
front page ol every newspaper In the
United States If this law was passed
at the next session of our legisla
ture. Do we want a million dollars
worth of free advertising? Do we
want to sell Oregon7 Do we want
to show the way? Oregon ahould be
interested In this shelter tax exemp
tion measure to promote land settle
ment and home development more
than any other state In the union.
First, because Its climate, water pow
er, natural resources, Irrigation and
cheap land Is especially adapted to
suo-division, land settlement and In
dustrial development. Second, Ore
gon snouid especlslly be Interested
In home development, not onlv in
Its own state, but In other states as
well, because one of her principal ln-
ausines is the manufacture of lum
ber, which Is the chief material go
ing Into home construction. "Shel
ter Tax Exemption and the Farmer"
will be continued In the next article.

Correction: On checking over Ar
ticle I, I find an error. The two
per cent sales tax would not be on
all expenditures. It would be on all
expenditures except the $300 spent
for shelter requirements. It should
read. "Two per cent on $800 ts $18.
.Which Is the heavier burden, $60
collected In a lump sum as taxes or
$18 collected a few cents at a time?"
