certain sapient advice
in August, 1932.
At that time we wrote:
"Instead of looking backward the railroad should look for

up to date; instead of complaining about truck and airplane com

The U. P., according to press
company has placed a $200,000
motored train, capable of traveling 110 miles per hour. Such
a train can make the run from Omaha to Los Angeles in 30
hours, instead of 50 or 60, without exceeding 90 miles per
hour. As greater experience brings improvements, engineers
claim there is no reason why such a run could not be made in

The Sales Tax
THE best argument we have seen for sales tax in this state
is Anntftined in tin fnllnwinc. nffinial innAnn(imnf Viv
the Manufacturers and Merchants Association of Oregon
through its manager, W. C. Francis:
We are in favor of a sales tax because :
Such a tax produces revenue without destroying values.
It will bring relief to farmers and small home owners.
It will bring relief to the business man by greatly reducing
his personal property tax.
It will restore values to real and personal property.
It will not confiscate property.
It cannot sell a farm or home for taxes.
- It has no delinquencies and no sheriffs sales.
The taxpayer can save the tax either wholly or in part.
It is a reliable tax and has large volume. .
It rests upon ability to spend.
It will encourage and reward economy and thrift.
It will discourage extravagance and waste.
The time and amount of the payment are largely at the
option of the taxpayer.
It is a direct tax, directly levied and collected.
It taxes the transient population. 1
It taxes the spending instead of the saving ability of the
taxpayer.
It eliminates cost of assessing and minimizes; cost of col
lecting. With a sales tax or a consumers' tax, the citizen Is never
in debt to his state; he pays as he goes.
The most important advantage that a sales tax will bring
is to assist in restoring values to real estate the basis of all
wealth and prosperity.

TOO DARN MANY N EUROTICS LN THESE
BENIGHTED STATES
One of Vie numerous modern
prophet stakes everything on the
hypothesis ihst disease arises from
association , sug
gestion, which
arouses fear, and
this fear of the
disease so weighs
bn the mind that
the actual symp
toms of the dls-
ase are produced.
Now If we could
flraw a clear divid
ing line between
tiysterlcal people
ind people of sta
ble mentality, this
notion of disease
mlgnt serve very well, for trhe hys
terical class. But It la scarcely
enough to account for real sickness.
A man of middle age and neither
vocation nor avocation, neither
enough work nor a good hobby, some
how became obsessed with the Idea
that he was developing cancer of the
stomach. From time to time he
would consult a physician, but he
never divulged what was on his mind
and he rather resented the fact that
various physicians failed to find any
thing much the matter with hhn.
He assumed they didn't know or per
haps they did not care to tell him
the truth. . - , ,
His constant Introspection and
worry began to get In Its deadly work.
The man lost weight, lost appetite,
lost strength, lost what little Interest
he had In life. His acquaintances, In
that thoughtless or cruel way ac
quaintances have, began to comment
on the poor fellow's ghastly appear
ance anj to ask what In the world
was the matter with him. That
alone is almost enough to make a
normal person 111. The unfortunate
victim of obsession now counted over
his various symptoms and found they
tallied perfectly with what he had
been led to believe to be the symp
toms of cancer of the stomach.
At tlils stati of the tragedy the
man came into Intimate contact with
a physician not professionally but
socially. It happened the physician
impressed him as an honest man, al
though a doctor. Little by little the
medical friend broke down the Inva
lid's falseworks and finally reached
the core of common sense. Oh, yes,
there's a core of that in nearly all
of us,
The Invalid cow went back to his
last physician and told him all about
it. The physician assured him the
symptoms did not suggest cancer, but
proposed that they go through with
the necessary tests and anaylees and
make sure. When all this waa done
the findings were so typical of or

In the winey exultation of morning
air I stood on a curb, gazing up and
down the chasmed street.
A policeman somersaulting his
night stick at the end of Its leather
loop sauntered around the corner. He
approached with alight suspicion that
seemed allayed by a casual glance,
and moseyed on. A taxi unloaded a
bewildered young couple at the Wal
dorf, across the way.
In making his turn, the driver
winked and thum-Jerked toward
them: "Just eloped to Greenwich!"
They looked delightfully nuptial. New
lives starting with a new day. As a
stern partisan of reality, I wondered
what the groom's salary was and how
