NOTHING AT ALL ! bread faster than they can win It. i : Normalcy has returned to the . maic lantern shows, which permits patrons to get home breakfast. A BOUT two weeks ago, we wrote an editorial criticizing Ray Gill, master of the state grange, for claiming that the pro posed sales tax for the benefit of public schools, was passed by the recent legislature, because Big Business "stormed the state capital", and put over the "iniquitous measure" at the behcRt of Wall Street. We said that wasn't true.' We maintained it was merely the old political trick of the demagogue, trying to get votes, by cashing in on class prejudice and class hatred. We maintained and still do that no Big Business lobby stormed Salem to put over this sales tax, that its passage had no more to do with Wall Street than with the Shah of Persia, j that it finally PASSED, surprised no one more than the SMALL group in the legislature that originally favored it. It did pass, we maintained, for only ONE reason. Because if the public schools of the state were to be kept open, money had to be secured SOMEWHERE, and the more the members of the legislature studied this problem, the more they became convinced, that the only way it COULD be secured, was to pass some sort of sales tax. So at the last moment because every other source of sufficient revenue failed, the legislature passed the best sales tax they could devise, not at the behest of Wall Street, or anyone else, but solely in line with what they believed was their publie duty. TN another column in today's paper, Mr. Gill replies to this editorial, and seeks to sustain his Big Business and Wall Street charge by quoting a resolution adopted by the national grange at the recent Boise convention; a quotation from a book on 'taxation by a Professor Buehler of the University of Ver mont j the fact that the Hearst papers and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce have endorsed the principle of a sales tax; and finally that the railroads, and the Portland Clearing House, con tributed to the campaign fund for the former sales tax that was defeated. We don't deny the truth of those statements. Large pro perty owners favor the sales tax. But our contention is small property owners should too, for it benefits ALL tax payers in such a crisis as now exists. But what has THAT to do with the charge Mr. Gill made, that the passage of this PARTICU LAR tax in the recent legislature was the result of a storm attack by Big Business, backed up by the Big Bad Wolf of Wall editor, columnist and keeper of the office chuck stove covered the city hall beat. Mr. Summerville didn't like something that was said about him in the Sun. Arthur as usual was his paper's loyal defender. They met in Brown's, John as former lightweight wrestler promptly preparing to put a half-nclson on Smudge Pot's latissimus dorsi. But before he could get properly set, Arthur popped him straight in the eye. John went down and stayed there awaking the next morning to read with his one good eye, a story that was less complimentary than the causis belli. And now John is U. S. Marshal for Oregon!

Quwn Mary wiu suffering from a slight cold today. It was offici ally stated at Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty re mained Indoors, a 1 1 h ough the cold is report ed as "very slight." (News item.) Reminds me the king had a slight one a few years ago, at least until the doctors decided to ope rate. Then, of course, they had to give it a name. I do hope the Queen will get away with It. I am quite as enthusiastic about the millinery racket as the average husband and father, I sup pose. Yet aside from that, I have always admired Her Majesty's old hat. It reminds me of TR's famous slouch Only a personage can wear a funny hat without toss of dignity. The news Item bore the signature of Aunt Polly. She always Initials her stuff (AP). Sometimes I suspect Aunt Polly Is not so dumb as she pretends to be. At any rate she gets some droll touches on her medical stories. Probably the news of the royal crl broke Just as Polly was get ting home from a party. Polly ca bled "Mary confined palace today quote very alight cold unquote." The foreman of the assembly plant at this end might have worked in a para graph or two referring vaguely to the dampness of the fog and the depress ing effect of the unusually cold au tumn In London this se&fton. but Just then some fine leg pictures came nlong and he let it go. It was only a week-day story anyhow. I have so much faith In the queen's nobility of character that I like to think there was more to the story than Aunt Polly thought worth cabl ing. Something like this: "Queen Mary feels that It is the duty of one In such circum stance to remain Isolated so that one will not spread the Infec tion to other persons." For after all It does not seem con sistent that Her Majesty should be : so plumb contrary about the dowdy old hat of hers, yet meekly remain indoors Just for a "very slight" India- position. No, I'm offering odds that the Queen was unselflnh, thoughtful for the health and safety of others, trying In her always gracious way to set a good example for her sub- I Jecta, Even If Aunt Polly got the story alt I straight which would be extraordi nary in the case of a medical story I would not put It past her to omit portions which do not quite fit in with Polly's personal notions, and from long acquaintance with Polly I know how little patience she has with new fangled ideas about health or hygiene. I've known Polly to turn In columns about some undertakers who threatened to keep their high hats on at the services in the grave yard when the weather seemed to in clment. To Polly humor of that sort is not funny at all. At that, I wonder how a reporter or correspondent can keep a straight face and avoid bursting out in laugh ter when the royal physician sol emnly "states" that the trouble is Just a very slight cold. When any doctor makes such an announcement concerning a patient, either the doc tor doesn't know what really alls the patient or else he Is trying to satisfy the curiosity of the public and con ceal from public knowledge the na ture of the Illness. f QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Arsenic in Taxidermy. I would be very much pleased lr you will tell me whether there Is any hazard to health in having about 50 mounted birds in my den. A. A. Answer No. There would be a hazard of arsenic poisoning If you handle the birds much. Clergyman, Eh? Please write about "Clergyman's sore throat," particularly when It gives much pain. Impairment of voice and enlargement of glands in the neck . . . N. E, C. Answer I'm afraid the enlarge ment of the lymph nodes ("glands") in the neck gums up the diagnosis of "clergyman's" throat. That Is con stant hoarseness, soreness and Irrita tion from chronic eimple pharyngitis. Overuse of voice in bad air, and the patient's own bad hygiene, are the chief factors of clergyman's sore throat. But those enlarged "glands" suggest some septic source of trouble.

Report from up the To the Editor: Referring to your editorial dated December 21 and entitled, "Has Gill the Right Idea." I desire to make an answer to some of the charges made In that editorial. At the laat session of the State Orange, that body went on record unanimously aa opposed to the Sales Tax and while I do so wholeheartedly I am simply carrying out the policy of the State Orange. In this editorial you ridicule my statements that Wall Street and "big business" are promoting the sales tax. The Nattonal Orange, the Na tional Farm Bureau and the National Farmers' Union all oppose the salea tax and the language of the Nattonal Orange at Its recent Boise session is very plain upon thia point. I quote the resolution as adopted:. "Whereas, there Is a well-organised movement throughout the nation led by financial Interests and large cor porations, to Impose a sales tax upon the people: and "Whereas, the purpose of the sales tax movement Is to replace income taxes by shirting the burden of tax from the basts of ability to pay to a basts of necessity to spend, thus Im posing a still greater share of the tax burden upon the masses of the peo ple: therefore "Be it resolved, by the National Orange that we re-affirm our opposi tion to sales taxes when placed upon the necessities of life." I also quote from a book called 'General Sales Taxation." by Profes sor Alfred D. Buehler, of the Univer sity of Vermont: "It wss the fundamental objective of the movement for a general sales tax to lighten the tax burdens of the wealthier classes of society, prob ably those who would gain the most from the enactment of a general sales tax were the sponsors of the Idea, the business Interests of the nation. (He was discussing large corpora tions.) Instead of the Income tax and the proflta taxes, which were largely paid by a few wealthy indi viduals, a general sales tax would be adopted which would be passed on largely to the millions e the na tion's consumers." The United Ststes Chamber of Com merce, controlled by the industrial and financial centers of the east, hss sponsored the sales tax. William Ran dolph Hearst In his newspapers, comes out definitely In favor of abolishing the Income tax and putting on sales taxes In Its place. If we need to go further. let us Investigate those who contributed to the last sales tax cam paign in the July election, as recorded by filings at Salem, Oregon. The contributions amounted to something ov?r SfiOOO, ised to promote the sale tax campaign. $1500 was contributed by three railroads, one-third or bet ter of the money was contributed by bank and financial interests includ ing MOO by the Portland Clearing House and oo by the Corbett Invest- ment company of Portland. The greater part of the balance wii by lumber and timber Interests. t have been a Orange member for .10 years and I think I know the cali ber of Orange members. They are not easily led by anyone. Thev "think deeply on public questions and they are not going to be fooled by the political scheme of tacking school aid on to the salea tax. They know that most proponent of the aales tax are more concerned about saving the salea tax than they are about saving the schools. RAY W. OILL. Portland. January 4, 1933. in the three state run a high a 15 MILLION dollars. That's a lot of money to be swept away by high water. NOTE, please, that TO DATE -there has been no damage by flood In Southern Oregon. Southern Oregon'a brand of weath er, taking It by and large, is about as good as you wilt find. HERE is an interesting sidelight: A newspaper reader, scanning the headline yesterday, remarked: "Plood all around us, in Caalifornla as well as up north, with damage running into the million. That ought to make Job forta lot of people." It will, probably, if the money can be found to repair the loss.

LOS ANGELES despatches tell us: "An 18-inch rainfall In the foothills, denuded by a recent brush fire, sent a mas of water into Mont rose, Olendale and La Crescenta that uprooted houses, tore out bridges, precipitated landslide and dealt death with a reckless hand." EIGHTEEN Inches of rain in one day! That is about three time the nor mal TOTAL rainfall at Los Angeles for a whole year. It' 1 a half more than the Klamath country's average annual rainfall. When it rain down there it can rain.

That shows the Roosevelt statisticians expect normal prosperity (the level of 1923 to 1925) around the first of the year, 1935. No one will quarrel with that pre diction. It is certainly conservative. Business men are expecting better levels sooner. Notes. Most of the Intelligent critics of the administration agree that, all in all, the Roosevelt budget Is above the standard for budgets, and, where it errs, the errors are generally on the side of conservatism. Few believe that the avoid ance of a reference to devaluation makes any difference regarding the firm intention and probable neces sity of devaluing.
