Testerday one of them was convicted, with a ment. The trial of the other has already started. Too bad more murder trials can't be expedited in this way. They could be if the courts and the attorneys acted, in this case. A week later on July 8th, Earl Hanscom of Eagle Point killed Albert Tinglcaf in a Saturday night dance brawl. Yes terday Hancom pleaded guilty was immediately sentenced to Too bad more murders can't there is-no doubt of the crime, of the murderer, they SHOULD a a 'T'HE reason they seldom are is the character of our criminal procedure. When murderers have money, or rich and influential friends, the law allows them to take every advantage of red tape and technicalities, First the trial is delayed ; layed: after sentence, there are appeals after appeals, to one court then another, until months after months in some cases years have passed by, and public interest in the case has entirely disappeared. Until the improper power of procedure, all criminals rich and poor placed upon an equal footing, there will be no such thing as prompt and certain justice, in this country. Is there any reason why laws to laws in England and Canada, which would render undue delay in criminal procedure impossible, regardless of whether the defendants are rich or poort No roason at all. The people of this country simply have to become sufficiently interested in ohecking the crime wave, to DEMAND it. Figure It Out IN another communication printed today from Harold Barton, in answer to a communication from the Ferry twins, the statement is again'made that the sales tax will injure the far mer. We quote: "It would be more Just and -desirable for tha fanners to pay 20 percent of their Income In property taxes than to pay a percent of their expenditures through the sales tax. Why? Because the 'average farmer will pay more through tha sales tax than ha would by the property tax." Just how our correspondent comprehension. The sales tax is an OFFSET the proceeds from this tax, MUST be expended to reduce the present property tax. They CAN'T be spent in any other way. The exact proportion of the now pay is immaterial. We don't believe there is. a farmer, however, who will deny that he pays "PLENTY," or deny that it is THIS tax, added to his personal tax, which is now making it impossible for him to make both ends meet. As has been repeatedly stated in this column the sales tax was passed expressly to help him. If passed, the sales tax will eliminate his personal tax his tax on farm implements, stock, equipment, etc., eto. and reduce his land tax, from 20 to 30 percent. JVJOW assume the farmer's personal property tax is $100, and his property .tax $100 or a total of $200 a year. (These figures are arbitrary, used merely for illustration. Let any farmer reading this, substitute his real and personal property tax figures for 1932). . If the sales tax passes his total tax bill will be $80 instead of $200 the elimination of his personal tax and a 20 percent reduction on his real property tax. In other words his tax will be reduced by $120. Now let's assume, on the other hand, that this sales tax is passed on ENTIRELY to the consumer that this same individ ual, for example, must pay an added 2 percent on ALL the new things he buys, during the year. (This is certainly conced ing A GREAT DEAL to sales tax opponents, for there is no doubt, that for the sake of increasing sales volume, many large retailers, department and chain stores will absorb the tax). LL right. Then we have on one side, the tax saving of $120 a year. We have on the other a 2 percent tax on the farmer's cash purchases during the same year. Only a little plain arithmetic is needed to show that this farmer can spend $6000 a year $500 a month and still have to pay a sales tax of only $120, in other words break even, as far as his total tax bill is concerned. Every cent he spends less than that will be money in his pocket. If his monthly budget is $100 his sales tax will be only $24 and his net tax saving $96 per year. If he only spends an average of $50 per month, his net tax saving will be $108 per year, and so on. LET ANY FARMER FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH HE IS SPENDING THESE DAYS IN PURCHASES OF FOOD, NEW CLOTHING, NEW EQUIPMENT, ETC.. ETC, AND HE CAN FIGURE WHAT HIS SALES TAX WILL BE. Compare that with his personal and property tax and he can determine whether this measure will benefit him or not. a a e e e "PHAT it will benefit him is certain. The tax is MADE for the tax paying farmer. For in addition- to his tax saving, all his sales to the whole saler or the retailer milk and cream, horses, eows, fruit, hay, grain, WHAT NOT are EXEMPT from the sales tax. As far aa the sales tax is concerned, the farmer CAN'T lose. He can't FAIL to win. Every tax paying farmer in Oregon should be for it, and so vote on Friday, for only one reason because it is to his SELF INTEREST, to do so. THREE DIE WHEN OMAHA, July 10.

My main trouble has been chronic rhinitis I with very fre quent acute attacks. These would last so long and oc cur so often that -they seemed oon tlriuous. I have consult ed varloua pnye-lclane about the' trouble, but never got any satisfaction, a year ago last March I started to take your lo din ration . . . and again for the month of June dally dose each third month, as you sug gested. I had no acute attack In July or August, but early In Sep tember a violent one. I was ter ribly disappointed, but later de lighted when It lasted only ten days. Since then I have not had an acute attack, and tho this may be only a coincidence. If I continue free of the trouble one would be almost compelled to credit the relief to the treatment. Another .writes: ' For four days the middle of May I sneezed, wept and blew. Regular attack of chronic hay fever, nasal asthma or what have you? Then I saw In your column the suggestion that a drop of lodln In water might help acute ooryaa. I took It and the attack ceased promptly. This for what It to worth. And a ttilrd: Started taking your lodln ra tion eight months ago and here are my findings: ' Vitality considerably Improved. Bowles perfect. Skin looks clearer and more lifelike. Last but not least, amenorrhea of 14 months standing to cor rected, and the function to now regular, for the first time in nine years. Only one fault I can find with It I have gained 8 pounds Jn ' weight. A friend who started on the lodln ration at the same time I did hsa gained 10 pounds, and we were both plenty plump to be gin with. Several other correspondents have reported that they have obtained re lief from chronlo recurring cofyzt (irequeni acute rhinitis) since they began tsklng the lodln ration. For all I know all of these testi monials might well have been signed by John J, Coincidence. I do know that too much lodln or lodld to likely to bring on lodlsm. Communications He Can't See It To the Editor: In answer to the article by the Ferry twins, which appeared In Mon- day'e paper, I wish to submit the., fol lowing: They state that large stores raise their prices In proportion to their total tax bill and that under the sales tax, they will pass no more on to the public than they do now. In moat all lines, It will be Impossible to add the 2 per cent tax exactly aa It should be to each Individual article. There fore, It la only natural to expect that the stores will sdd a little more than the tax in order to make the price come out even. The statement that they will pass no more tax on to the com timer than thev do now shows ths extreme In consistency which the proponents of the sales tax ahow In their arguments. In a previous article It waa stated that If the aalea tax were passed, the large stores would lose money because of the new tax being greater than the old. Now. they say that the aalea tax, when passed on to the consumer, will be no more than the present tax which to psssed on. , Too, If the sales tax Is to take the place xf the personal property tax and part of the general property tax, then the retallera will pass their share of these taxes on to the con sumer In addition to the taxes which the consumer paid In the form of grester property taxea which will also be passed back to him. Such argu ments aa these which were advanced by the Ferry twins ahow that they could not have gone very deeply Into the new tax. Apparently the meaning which was intended to be made In a former ar ticle to the effect that the farmer will still pay 81 PT cent of hie pres ent property tax. under the sales, tax. was mlsconveyed. That the aalea tax Is merely a substitution levy Is false. since It lowers the taxes of the re- taller and pllea them onto the con sumer. In answer to one of their queries It would be more Just snd desirable for the farmers to pay 39 per cent of their Income In property taxea than to pay a per cent of their expendi tures through the sales tax. Why? Because the aversge farmer will pay more through the sales tax than oe would by the property tax. The Ferry twins claim that the con fusion resulting from non-passage of the aalea tax would be far worse than would the passsee of the aalea tax n respect to the effect on business. Ths answer la yesl The probable result of non-pseaAfre would be an Increase In the Income tax Just what big busi ness does not wantl Let us look first to the rehabilitation of agriculture, the foundation of civilization, end By so doing gradually Improve general business conditions.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORE, July 19. Brightly ex pectant sidewalk cafe bloom every where. The Brevoort now hsa on on the avenue. For years the Cafe Royal on Second avenue had the only outside ta bles. Bustanoby tried It 15 years ago on upper Broadway, but It did not click. Martin's effort, too, failed. Today there are 37 In Manhattan and 11 In Brook lyn. And perhaps that many more scattered In near by auburban towns. Coney Island haa three going full blast and many more are planned. Roller skating, bicycling and teraase dining are, of course, symbols of the new leisure In living. Five years ago the sidewalk cafe would have been considered a bour geois gesture. New Yorkers were keyed to a speedier hub-bub. Now they seem content to alt quietly and watch Life flow by with the ticking variety of the topical events at the cinema. With the al frescos experiment has spawned the usual superfluous nui sancesthe strolling musician, ma gician, bonnety' old ladles who sell wilted flowers and even the hawker of atrip post-cards. But they are minor annoyances. The real Joy la that honorable simplicity comes to a muddled world. Despite now simplicities a complex ity bobs up here and there. For In stance the post-card today: "Say Toy Boat quickly ten times." I telegraphed him collect to try the same thing with: "Entire Tire Territory." Out of shadows of East 49th street near Park avenue last night, a mar rowy figure popped to Inquire: "How about a nice ride to Coney?" I shook my head and walked on. "We'll atop on the way- and meet some awell dames I" he called. So I turned, Irri tated to be taken for a yokel, and talked nastily. He listened, seemed contrite and explained: "It's a tough way to make a living, but I've done everything elise and when you have five children and a alck wire - tne voice trailed off Into a whispering choke. So I gave him a dollar and learn today it's a new racket. Pick out a fellow that will give you back talk and then make nlm ashamed I Nine tlmea out of ten the dunce wUl loosen.

He Is out on the road now mending his personal political fences. He may succeed In avoiding entirely the question 'of electing a successor at Chicago. Some of the wise ones figure they should start now building up a New York man to run against President Roosevelt in '36.

Juries are continuing the clean-up process down In Jackson county by convicting the greater part of those charged with the theft of ballots In the Sc'nermerhorn case, and have now convicted Sheriff Schermerhorn himself. Tho verdict appears a logical one. The trouble started when candidates who opposed Sheriff Schermerhorn In tho election demanded a recount. Immediately after the court had granted the request, the place where the ballots were stored was broken Into and thousands of ballots stolen. The logical eupposltlon is that the only persona interested In such a ballot theft could be those Interested in retaining Schermerhorn In office. Including himself, end further Indi cates a decided fear that the recount to be made In open court, might well result In a reversal of the election re sult. This Indicated dread point out the probability that all was not right when the votes were counted and la further evidence of the political mud hole Into which the county had slipped. Astoria Budget-Astorlan. Sheriff Schermerhorn of Jackson county Is found guilty of complicity in the ballot theft of last Februray. The sheriff was a member of the so called reform party that was animat ed to turn the rascals' out of th court house, but was evidently so In tent on holding power Itself that It practiced a little rascality of lta own.
