The Saks Tax
of the greatest advantages of the gales tax, ii that it
is always paid.
And one of the greatest disadvantages of any other form of
tax is the uncertainty of payment, particularly under present
conditions.
The mess in which the property tax has fallen, not only in
this state but everywhere else, is the increasing percentage of
delinquency. In Oregon, this delinquency has by no means
been confined to those unable to pay. Many property owners
well able to pay their taxes, have not done so, because the
delinquency percentage was reduced at the last session of the
legislature to 8, and they have preferred to borrow from the
county instead of a bank. They have figured they could make
more than 8 on their money, so the county has held the sack.
This we believe is all wrong, and the 8 rate should be
repealed at the coming session,
solving the tax problem.
With incomes reduced to the vanishing point, and profits the
exception, obviously the income tax as a revenue producer,
can't roeet the present emergency.
Increasing the rate in the higher brackets, might help, but
it can not solve the problem. Moreover there are evasions under
such a tax which no law can effectively overcome.
AS WE view it thereforo some
hone, nreferablv a sales tax
which would stimulate home building, and allow the present
owners of homes to retain them.
But the outstanding virtue of such a tax, as stated above,
would be the ease and immediacy of collection. It would in fact,
be an automatio tax the levying of the tax and its payment,
occuring simultaneously.
The conventional objections to the sales tax are well known.
The opposition of the large chain stores and department stores
can be taken for granted.
But an emergency exists the tax problem must be solved
and we believe when the sales tax is thoroughly understood by
the people, this organized opposition can be overcome.
The problem is NOT to find . perfect tax, or a patent "cure
all" tax. Such things simply don't exist.
The problem is to find the best tax, under the circumstances
existing and wa feel the more the problem is studied, the clearer
it will become that the sales tax in some form, alone fills the
bill.

ASSERTING that most porsons, when asked to name their
favorite lincsrand passages from poetry, tend to give the
same lines that critics have fixed upon, the Christian Soience
Monitor comments on E. V. Lucas as an exception. Mr. Lucas
recently stated that his favorite line is from the little-known
poet, Jane Taylor, and reads :
Impatient her little blue apron to fill.
We do not believe, however, that the strange unanimity of
opinion concerning oertain passages in literature is due merely
to the fact that critics have named them in the pant.. The truth
is that these passages speak for

The other consists of the

And this la why I sojourn here.
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is withered from the lake
And no birds sing.
Next to these two passages
quoted for its perfect beauty
from Poe :
Up many and many a marvellous shrine
Whose wreathed frleiea Intertwine
The viol, tlie violet, and the vine.
None of these, of course, can be judged apart from the
context, but when they are chanced upon by the young man
and woman getting acquainted with literature, they affect the
reader so profoundly that the impression is never effaced.

WHY MOOT PIMPLES DO NO
CARBU
White we are all In accord about
the Infectious character of puatulei,

scesses, u n f o r
tunately we clash
upon the answer
to the question,
Why do some per
rons have a pain
ful boll or dan
gerous carbuncle
where others
would have only
a trifling pustule
or pimple or no trouble at all? And
why do certain Individuals promptly
get over a boll and even a carbuncle
while others suffer painfully or even
die from the disease?
AU the peasants, who believe what
they're told first or with the greatest
assurance, and all the wiseacres, who
like to have you think they know
what they think they know, have a
glib explanation for It. They say
the poor fellow had no vitality, vigor
or resistance, or he was exhausted
or worn out when the boll started
and so he was too weak to "throw
It off."
That must be quite a satisfactory
way to account for the differences
in individuals' reactions to such In
fections, if it means anything to
you. Doesn't mean a thing to me.
Then the peasants and wiseacres
have another smug little notion that
If you suffer much from such trou
bles or If you succumb to a series
of bolls or a carbuncle, it la plain
enough to anybody that your blood
must have been Impure or In poor

abscess remains a pimple or pustule

or (2) If the tissues infected happen
to have a fair degree of immunity
against the specific germs concerned.
When the infection is by a virulent
strain (such as Streptococcus pyo
genes) or the local or general im

the Invading germa make deeper In

It might be, for It Indicates that the

Alive" reminded me of an Invalid
with a carbuncle on his neck.
Coagulation, necrosis or death of
tissue produces the "core" of a boll.
If there Is no "core" It Isn't a boll.
The tissues thus destroyed usually
consist of the hair follicle and Us
accompanying sebasooui (oil) gland.
The boll begins as a wee pustule at
the opening of a hair follicle, which
itches more or leas. Soon a ring of
skin around It becomes Infiltrated
or Indurated a walling-off process
around a battleground. A crust forms
on the pimple, and on removing this
a prop of pus escapes. If a probe Is
introduced It will enter to the depth
of half an inch. The boll continues
to enlarge, and to discharge pus, and
after several days gentle pressure
around It will cause extrusion of a
small slough (the "core") and then
the healing process follows. Another
time we'll tell how NOT to handle
bolls and how to treat them.

S. M.
Answer No. If one climate Is
more healthful than another for such
Individual It Is because the Invalid
passes more time out of doors. If
the Invalid is obsessed by fear of
cold and dampness he la out of luck

seems to attain the height of ab

Into another car, ' that turned over
twice, when It failed to negotiate a
turn at high speed. The driver of
this car la net known. A woman
companion was pinned beneath the
auto but unhurt.
A crowd returning from a dance at
the Apptegate Orange hall stopped
to view the wreck and It waa then
that Mrs. Asher, apparently confused
by the lights of the "vial tint autos,"
crashed Into young Wilson. Some
of the witnesses alleged that Mrs.
Asher was travelling at a high rate
of speed.
By the time the sheriff arrived,
most of the autos had departed. The
district attorney's office was also In
vestigating the accident, and was
considering Issuing complaints. Wil
son's Injuries were painful, but not
regarded as serious.
The state police and district at
torney's office said today that they
would probably ask the county court
to revoke the license to hold' the
dances on the Applegate, as com
plaints had been received of speed'
lng to and from. The dance Keeps
open until three o'clock and attracts
city dancers because of the late hour.

HOME IAS DAY
FATAL FORW. LONG
(Continued from rage One)
Jennings that he said to his wife.
after she had made a mention of her
Jewels, "you better hide them," or
words to that effect.
Long overheard the remark, and
said to Jordan, according to the let
ter's story:
"If I didn't think you were joking.
I would resent that remark."
"I am not Joking, and I mean every
word of it and I want you to leave,"
Jordan told the authorities, he re
plied. This precipitated the quarrel, Jor
dan says, and alleges Long took the
aggressive by aiming a blow at him
with his fist. Jordan says he does
not remember distinctly the ensuing
events.
It is the theory of the sheriff and
state police, that after the first blow
was struck, Jordan picked up a ginger-ale
bottle and swung at Long,
missing him and striking the edge
of the sink, and breaking the bottle.
Jordan slipped, or was knocked to
the floor, retaining In hla hand the
neck of the broken bottle, which was
Jagged, with a io.ig piece of glass
projecting.
Fell On Bottle, Claim
Jordan claims that Long then
tripped and fell upon him. and that
he struck the Jagged bottle neck,
puncturing the Jugular vein, as Jor
dan was attempting to rise. Long
collapsed immediately,
John Enders, who lives next door,
hearing the women's screams, went
to the Jordan home and then re
turned to his own, and . called Dr.
Charles A. Haines and the Ashland
city police. Long was ru&hed to the
Ashland hospital, where he expired.
He was iinftble to make any state
ment. Besides the fatal wound, Long's
head showed three or four scalp
wounds.
Jordan was brought to the county
Jail, following the tragedy. He re
tained Attorney George M. Roberts
of this city. Attorney Roberts said
he would ask Jordan's release on
bonds today. Jordan was badly
shaken, but was regaining hla com
posure today.
