On the wall was a chart a graph one line repre senting the decline in prosperity, another line the increase in the federal income tax. The more the income tax increased the more prosperity declined. Ergo, decrease the income tax and restore prosperity. Simple, isn't it very simple l so simpie in to be completely foolish. Yet the men at the banquet seemed to swallow it, along t 1111 the filet mignon and the grape fruit avacado salad, for a reso lution was adopted opposing a state income tax in Lauiornia (this state has never passed one) and a reduction of tne lccierai income lew. The retention of the state sales tax and the im- . a. 1 .1 if.. position of a federal sales tax were heartily enaorscu. .m. Hearst's Los Angeles Examiner played up the action on the front page the following morning, supported by a commenda tory editorial. Needless to say the Mail Tribune is or a state sales tax in Oregon it is the only escape from a wholesale closing of public schools, and general financial collapse. But we DON'T favor and never have favored, repeal of the state income tax, 01 radical reduction in the federal tax on incomes. The best and fairest tax of all is an income tax. Only when incomes have fallen to a point where increases run into the law of diminish ing returns, do we favor a sales tax, not as a substitute for income taxes, but complementary to them-a necessary expedi ent to get the money for essential public expenses and preserve the tax structure. Here in California apparently they have a different idea. w Hnn't know how representative this Biltmore banquet was, nnnnlnr the nolicv of the Hearst newspapers, regnrding the tax problem, is. However we make the prediction .that eventually California will bo forced to aciopt su.hu tut... ti income tax to supplement the sales tax; just as in Oregon eventually a sales tax will have to be adopted to supplement the income tax. Trying to put the entire burden cither on sales or on incomes, simply won't work. Tr.i,lnntllv lnokine in on this banquet of representative business men, brought home to the present writer the fact that anti-Roosevelt sentiment is growing rapidly. Many months ago we Tiredictcd the time would soon come, when the sheep would have to be separated from the goats, when those who honestly believe in a New Deal for this country-and a real one-must be put on one side; and those who don't believe in it, but have given lip service because it was the popular thing to do must That time is close at hand now, if it hasn't actually nmved. And unless wo are greatly mistaken, this drastic action of the Roosevelt administration regarding air mail contracts, ,will greatly hasten the process. . - All the facts regarding this airmail crisis, are not known at this writing, but it is fairly clear, that the underlying issue be Uyeen the Roosevelt administration and these private 'rml"1 companies is the issue between the New Deal and the Old. W congress virtually voting a federal suosiay xor cu,,.,.. ing, what is generally known as Big Business really took over the control of this great and growing industry. Holding com panies were formed, stocks were watered, the "old army game was played, as usual, with huge profits for a few smart insiders while the public as a whole held the sack. Perhaps the higher ups were not crooks, are not criminally liablethat is yet to be divulged-but from the standpoint of the Roosevelt aclm.nistr.i i mnrnllv delinnuont. and aro morally liable, bo they were all kicked out and the carrying of the air mail, was handed over to the army. This is going to mean a battle-aiul unless we are mr ... - a REAL battle! . ,. . , . Before it is over, t people of this country as individuals will be called upon to decide, with which faction they intend to trail.

I have had so many similar re ports from people who Joined The Breakers that I am convinced of the efficacy of psychological treatment for trouble that Is due to wrong .'linking. I have had a considerable num ber of reports from people who say they followed my Instructions but fslled to obtain a cure. Cure la their own word, and the fact that they persist In regarding the bad habit as an ailment explains why they fall to break the habit. Then here a week or two ago I 'seemed oulte Indignant about the painful condition that followed live days of waiting. That was all. I ought to be put out of business by the medical society. I'm glad It was no worse than that. Some crltlca would ask whether the medical aoc lety pays me a commission or some thing. It is my sincere belief that If all physics, laxatalves, salts, enemas or other artificial aids to defecation were made Inaccessible or even as difficult to get as morphine or co caine Is, the millions who now weak ly cultivate the constipation habit would get rid of the habu within a few weeks.
