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! If that isn't
some rise in life from below sea level to the top of Mt. Titt,
WHAT is!

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.

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.

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.

precipitated landslide and dealt death
with a reckless hand."
EIGHTEEN Inches of rain in one

than the Klamath country's average
annual rainfall.

But the second half of 1934 Is com

statisticians expect normal prosperity

No one will quarrel with that pre

Business men are expecting better

Most of the Intelligent critics of
