Th sales tax situation has veered uound to the point where wandering Indigents, fattening on the be ana of Oregon charity, spend their apare time writing letters to Portland pa pers, explaining how the sales tax la not working In California.

No wonder there is demand for farm relief I O.

Tot some time past, Republicans scattered wllly-nllly over the nation, have been showing signs their trait orous gall was getting the best of them, and they would nedeavor, If they could, yank various and sundry Democrats of high and low degree, loose from political posts of trust and remuneration. This reprehensible Im pudence reached It peak last Satur day, when Cong. Ralney of Illinois, speaker of the house, amellod a con spiracy mouse, and announced that the low-llfed Republicans of his dis trict, aided by Wall Street, wore lay ing awake nights, brewing ways and means to defeat him, In a forthcom ing primary. It beat all to what depths of depravity a Republican will sink, In trying to defeat a Democrat THE VERY IDEA. It Is not hu man, or according to long-established custom. Speaker Ralney should be proclaimed a sacred ox of Democracy, not subject to the will of the voters, at the polls, but allowed to continue at the public trough, until he had enough, and not be annoyed by a little thing like an election. Nothing could be worse than Republicans try ing to defeat Cong, Ralney not even a Democrat, trying to get his Job.

Did you ever see a a lot machine beckon to you. alug you, high Jack you. or promise you 4 per cent on your aavlngs? No. you have not; neither has anybody else.

My observation la that anyone who loirs to a slot-machine will loee anyhow; he's that type. a The following sliding scale of ages la employed by Juveniles, In the hustle of present day existence: Eleven when buying a movie ticket. Thirteen when entering senior high school. Sixteen when driving an auto. Twenty-one when swigging high powered beer. Mr. Gill Is "Mistaken" 11TE notice by today's Oregonian that Mr. Ray Gill is again quoting the Mail Tribune to sustain his charge that the Oregon legislature passed the sales tax, because of pressure from Wall Street. The quotation is from editorial correspondence sent this newspaper from Los Angeles, stating that at a certain Biltmore hotel banquet, a resolution was adopted opposing a state income tax in California, favoring a reduction of the federal income tax and endorsing the California sales tax. Just how this statement, which is essentially correct, sup ports Mr. Gill's entirely false statement, that Wall Street forced the Oregon legislature to pass a state sales tax, we can't fathom. Of course, it doesn t. But instead of being a good sport and frankly admitting it, Mr. Gill adopts the time honored trick of the professional politician, refutes a charge that was never MADE, and evades the real issue entirely. P Mr. Gill had ORIGINALLY stated what he NOW states, that certain Big Business interests throughout the country favor a state sales tav in PREFERENCE to an income tax, this paper would never have challenged the statement. That charge is true. That is what this Biltmore hotel meet ing DID, that is what the Hearst papers have done and are doing. And even more important, it is such action and only such action regarding the sales tax, that the National Grange and organized labor have opposed. For unless our information is incorrect, neither the national grange nor organized labor, have ever gone on record against the sales tax PER SE. They HAVE gone on record against a policy that would push the sales tax AHEAD of the income tax, remove or reduce the tax burden on incomes and place it nil on sales. And as stated in the article from which Grange Master Gill quotes, this paper would oppose that policy also. We would not favor a sales tax in this state- if we had no state income tax. We believe the income tax in principle is the best and fairest kind of tax it places the tax burden upon those best able to pay, and should be a permanent part of the tax structure. OUT Oregon HAS a state income tax. It not only HAS one, but it is one of the highest in the entire country. It has an intnngible tax, and a property tax and an extremely high gas tax; and yet with ALL these taxes, it faces a closing of the public schools and eventual bankruptcy, unless more tax money is secured. It was because of this condition because of the extreme emergency existing and ONLY because of this, that the last legislature, against its desire, and against every consideration of political Belf interest, solely as an inescapable publio duty, passed the ViJo sales and publio utility tax. AND it was this action which, only about two months ago, Mr. Oill nnnrinmnArl in liia nffirinl bulletin to the crnnrps of this state, as a "disgrace to Oregon", the result of "Big business storming the capital and Wall Street trying to fasten a vicious sales tax upon the people" of this state. This paper challenged the truth of that statement. We again challenge it. And Mr.. Gill has to date, not furnished one iota of evidence to show there was a Wall Street lobby, a Big Busi ness lobby, or any other lobby, at Salem during the special ses sion of the legislature' that was responsible for THIS sales tax, or even worked for it Why hasn't he produced such evidence! Why does he con tinue to deal in generalities, continue to talk about Wall Street and Big Business and Wm. Randolph Hearst ; continue to criti cize the provisions of the sales tax that was DEFEATED, and the conditions that surrounded THAT defeat, but not bring forth a sointllla of evidence to support the specific charge he made, and the only charge to which this paper took exception. KJO, in making that specifio charge Mr. Gill made a mistake. We wish he would frankly admit it. We wish he would also admit, that the special session of the legislature in passing a sales tax, did not disgrace Oregon, did not submit to any outsido or improper influences, paid heed neither to Wall Street nor Big Business, but did what in the light of conditions it believed to be its duty. TOR that's the REAL truth t Certainly the members of Mr. Gill's own grange who intro duced the sales tax bill, and who in a body voted for it, were not bribed by Wall Street to take such aotion. They were only doing, like their fellow members, what they believed to be, in view of the emergency existing, best for the people of this slate, the only practical way to keep the schools open, and pre vent financial chaos and confusion if not actual bankruptcy in this state.

It was a sad disappointment when I opened the latest edition of Webster and turned eagerly to Chapter O, to find that crl has not yet made the grade. Haven't said a thing about cri here In a month of Sun days. Thought the word had s u f f 1 clent mo mentum to carry at It. The pub lic may as well become resigned to It. You're going to adopt the Idea behind this term and like It. I don't care much whether you use the word Itself. Go on calling It "cold" If you're both Ignorant and mullBh. But this I have noticed: Ignorant folk are beginning to show an apologetic, furtive manner when they peddle crl. Only the most ab ject moron still coughs or sneezes open-face In the presence of any one with enough Intelligence to resent It. These observations ar more signifi cant than the recognition of the word crl by any fusty lexicographer. Crl will break Into Webster In due time, Just as vitamin did. The dictionary , makers are shrewd fellows. Mean-; while the world wags on. Still, the poor dolts need not be so hang-dog about it. They have lots of company of their own shallow mental and moral calibre end plenty of poli tical accidents holding down soft Jobs as poBtmast I mean health commls-; sloner, who regularly Issue official bulletins reassuring the rabble that this Is a free country (for crooks and criminals) and here In Yankeeland where It doesn't matter where or how you get the dough so long aa you get ; It, the peddling of crl Is a respectable business. These politicians who have charge of health administration In graft-governed cities constantly as sert, or rather employ ghost writers who assert, that inclement weather Is the cause of "common colds." So If you have any secret enmity for any one and hesitate to train your ma chine gun on the victim, you can cough or sneeze In his face when you have this so-called "common cold, or if you're afraid the victim mY slap you down for that, you can infect him Just as readily and without arousing suspicion by approaching within four or five feet and politely conversing with him a few moment?. The conversational spray carries all the peril that cough or sneeze spray ! docs, but has a shorter range. It has been estimated, I think fairly. that from five to ten per cent of all coryaa Is NOT of Infectious nature that is, not due to germs or virus. and hence not communicable, I wish I could deny this, but I can't. I can only hope that the dolts and scoun drels who exercise the Yankee right of peddling whatever they have among their neighbors, business as soclates, employees, customers or the public at large will not try to cap! taliie the fact. Hay fever and related keep hammering other substances to which the Indi vidual happens to be sensitized this la variously termed allergy or ana phylaxis. Coryza (ko-rlse-ah) means a run nlng at the nose. Inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane with congestion, redness, swelling and the familiar stuffing up followed by free secretion of watery serum and mucus. 'QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Schoolroom Ventilation. Please give some Information or suggestions about the ventilation of schoolrooms. O. M. H. Answer In my opinion the sim plest, cheapest, most efficient and healthful way Is to fit all the windows with full sash screens of unbleached musltn. This was Introduced by Dr. John B. Todd of Syracuse, N. T., and has been used by many village and city schools with much satisfaction. The screens admit air, moisture and light, but exclude wind. dust. snow, rain.

TOF By FRANK JENKINS, THIS writer, dropping In on Walt Waggoner, over In the Klamath country yesterday, found him washing mushrooms not a tlcky little hand ful, but a good two-bushel lot. "Where'd you find them?" was the prompt query. "That's for you to find out," Walt answered, "but It wasn't more than three blocks from the center of town." pANCY thatl Two bushels of mushrooms right In the center of the fourth largest city In Oregon. And Walt swears It didn't take him over 15 minutes to dig the two bushels. pHESE particular mushrooms, Walt coniiaea, are ox the agaricus va riety If that means anything to you. They are of the pink -gill M type, and mushrooms with pink gills are presumably safe. They ranged In size from buttons about the heft of a small walnut to big, umbrella-shaped ones weighing a pound or more. The biggest mushroom Walt ever heard of, In this country, was found several years ago by Doc Westerfeld, and weighed TWENTY pounds. He himself has found them as big as 12 pounds. The big ones, he says, are Just as good as the little ones. - THE Klamath country, so far. as Walt knows, nroducea mushrooms more prollflcally than anywhere else In the country. Back In 1922, he relates, a young fellow over there got a smart idea and cashed In on It He made a deal with the St. Francis hotel, in San Francisco, to take ail the mushrooms of a certain specified quality he could ship. And boyl how he did ship mush rooms I He poured them In on the St, Francis In boxes and barrels and crates anything he could find to ship It. But the appetites of the hotel's customers were equal to the strain, and they took all he sent. He cleared 03000 In one season, and bought him a big truck with the money.

Perhaps all advocates of a sales tax are mistaken. Perhaps all the people of all the states that have passed sales taxes and suoceeded with them, are mis tnken. Perhaps Mr. Gill is the only man in this state who knows how to successfully solve our tax problems, or tax problems elsewhere. That may be. But even so, then why can't Mr. Gill clearly and logically point t their mistakes! Show just why and where they are wrong, and just why and where he is rightt No one would complain about that. But we do complain, and we think all fair minded people SHOULD complnin, when the muster of the state grange, in his effort to defeat the sales tax, tries to make the people of this state believe that the aforesaid tax only passed the legislature because Wall Street and Big Business viciously and maliciously bulled it through. For that, we submit once more, is not, and never has been true I It is merely a part of the old "army game" to get political results by appealing to class prejudice and passions. T PORTLAND. Ore.. April 9. (UP) A tragic note crept Into Easter ser vices at Immaculate Catholic church Sunday when the Rev. William A.

Sudden thought: The only plays I remember George Jean Nathan ever praising extravagantly were those of Eugene O'Nell and the colored revue, "Shuffle Along." In excess of curiosity I wandered through the lobby of a mid-town ho tel, reputedly a rendezvous for big shots of the underworld, the other evening.

CAN FRANCISCO, by the way, still J eats mushrooms, but the bulk of them are now grown In captivity In tunnels, they say, up above Santa Rosa; the tunnels of old abandoned mines, the story goes. That's taking a new kind of gold out of the ground. QPEAKINQ of the way mushrooms ' grow in me Klamath country, Walt recalls that a few years ago some friends came down from Portland and craved mushrooms. In bulk the big ger the bulk the better. So they climbed In the csr and started out. Half an hour later they were back, and the whole tonneau of the car It was one of the old open-faced kind was filled with this succulent food. . They shipped them bsck to Port land In several crates, and for the next week or so their families wero busy all the daylight hours canning mushrooms. FATALITIES? Walt aavs there's a lot nf hooev about that. He has never heard, he sajs, of a esse of mushroom poison ing In the Klamath country. There are poisonous varieties, of course, but for the most pert they grow back In the hills, and not down on the flats, and are not hard for an expert to detect. 40,000 AT SUNRISE SERVICE NEAR 'FRISCO; fight in his behalf an apparent lest ditch effort to save Insuii from trial in Chicago on the charges which arose from the overthrow of his one-time empire of middle western utilities. With his removal to the house of detention, Insull had lived in four different places in Istanbul since he arrived here last week. Hla first place of residence was the Greek tramp freighter, the 8. 8. Mal- otls. which bore him here from Athens; he was removed from the Ma lot Is forcibly yesterday and placed in the Hotel A yd an. Then he was taken to the Hotel London In the suburb of Pera. At the Hotel London he ate lunch and followed the meal with a short nap. Crowd Halts Stroll. ' Although surrounded by policemen, he was permitted a nominal liberty and, awakening from his nap, start ed out for a walk. The walk lasted only about 100 paces, for he found himself to be followed by a squad of spectators. He went back to the hotel, changed some American dollars Into Turkish money, picked up some newspapers and settled himself down in the hotel lounge to read. Insull was still In the hotel when the police, acting on instructions from the Turkish government, placed him formally under arrest. A Turkish lawyer immediately went into action for Insull, filing an appeal against the decision of the penal court which yesterday ruled that, as Insull had committed neither a mili tary nor political crime and was not a citizen of Turkey, he was eligible to extradition. Judicial authorities said, however. that the right of appeal was not operative as the penal court's de cision was final. Guarded Like Gunman. Five detectives surrounded him as if he were a desperate gunman not a discouraged and apparently beaten figure. A three-Judge Istanbul court made a black day of Easter Sunday for the careworn Chicagoan. In proceedings he oould not even understand It ruld that he could legally be handed over to the United States. Instantly from the dingy, crowded little court room the word was flash ed to the cabinet at Ankara. That body promptly decided that Insull would be delivered up. Insull was on his way to the Hotel Aydan through a downpour of rain before he learned from the police accompanying him that he apparently had lost his lost fight. They were evasive, saying they could tell him nothing "until to morrow," but little by little the 74-year-old traveler learned the facts. The court held that the charges facing Insull In Illinois based on the failure of his utilities holdings con stitute a "common crime" in Turkey, not political or military. Hence, since It was held that his case fulfilled other requimements necessary for extradition under the penal code, the court decided he could be arrested for the United states. Dazed 'by Happenings. Insull sat moodily In the room- small, but comfortable and gazed about him as If dazed. His eyes roved toward the mirror, over the wash stand and sofa, the table and the stove. A policeman was with htm constantly. Apparently shocked by his appear ance, his first move after being es corted to the room and taking a look at himself In a glass, was to call for a barber. "Why am I brought here," he said "I am simply a victim of fate." He showed fight Sunday when po licemen appeared aboard his charter ed Greek tramp steamer, the Malotls. lying in Istanbul harbor, and ordered him ashore for the court bearing. So did the captain, Ioannls Mou sourls, with whom he had sailed the seas for 15 days after leaving Piraeus, port of Athens, in the now appar ently frustrated search for a new refuge. Both were subdued quickly. They offered no resistance when Turkish authorities let lt.be known they plan ned to deal with a firm hand.
