The na tloiiallrstton la pinvllng to the lay rmm. snd only the bsnkers grasp Us iBipolt, rIE most serious problem in the state of Oregon is the tax problem. The proposal that a constitutional amendment be passed to limit the property tax to 20 mills, in other words reduce the income from the property tax from 30 to 40 brings it to a head. Although because of the depression, the property tax is wob bling badly, it STILL yields far more cash, than any other tax levy. Many local units of government, and many school dis tricts, are now on the verge of bankruptcy. If the income they now receive is cut 30 to 40, obviously a serious situation will become a catastrophic one. It will be impossible to keep the public schools open. ' It will be impossible in many places to maintain adequate fire and police protection. This is not alone our opinion. It is the opinion of practically every student of taxation, and every public official in the state. They have facts and figures to prove it.'. 'T'lIB reply of the proponent of this measure at least some of them is to flatly deny this claim. They, maintain, that if this amendment passes, no schools will be closed, no essential public services will be curtailed, no calamity will result, this is merely a lot of propaganda by those who wish to revive a sales taxi What will really happen they maintain'is this: The proposed amendment will enforce rigid economy in public administration, the tax spenders and tax wasters will be cut out. Wild-eyed extravagance will be eliminated. And under the new regimei the essential functions of civil government, the administration of our public schools, etc., etc., will go on as before. We only wish that were truel .'... for men uregon woum lace no serious auemma, If our state and local tax problems were merely problems of eliminat ing extravagance and waste, cleaning out the wasters and mis fits would solve it. But it ISN'T true. No doubt greater economies could be introduced here and there. But the total saving in this direc tion would not materially improve the situation. Moreover there already have been material savings, in state and local governments, also in the schools. A reduction of 30 or 40 in county school administration bag already been effect ed here in Jackson county. We doubt if there is an administra tive unit in the state, that hasn't earnest tried, at least, to cut current expenses down to lowest possible point, shor of aban doning adequate service entirely. It it can't be done and it is simply folly to delude ourselves with the idle dream it can be. IP this amendment passes and our present tax revenue is re- duccd 30 or 40, there can be only one of two results: Either approximately an EQUAL tax revenue from some other source, MUST be secured; or Oregon will be' forced FIGURATIVELY speaking, to give the "land back to the Indians." There is absolutely no other alternative. s JM0ST of the supporters of the amendment frankly admit this. In one of the committee's official announcements, it is clearly stated, that the amendment is drawn so it will NOT go into effect until AFTER the next session of the legislature. ine reason is plain. It will be up to the legislature then to provide that the revenue thus lost will, in some OTHER way, be obtained. But HOW will it be obtained f Most thoughtful people will want an answer to this question, before they will vot for a measure, that will deprive a atate ulready staggering toward bankruptcy, of nearly half of the property tax which we all want reduced and which should be revenue, that it now enjoys. Let's be assured the revenue FIRST. And then reduce the reduced AFTER! Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.U.

Modesty is al viji Virtue, SqucsmJhneM Is unpleuint, and 1 la sv mark of Incompetence rhen i physician permlti prudery to embar raaa his work. A dllettaat spe cialist on whose hands time hangs heavily whiles away the tedious days writing. He haa turned out some quite read able boots. One of them deals with "Maladies Nice People Never Mention" or something like that. A sorry ges ture tor a doctor to make. Probably more adults suffer from rectal troubles than from any other aliment, and moat good general prac titioners or family doctors know little about the proper management of these ailments. Pew doctors in gener al practice are equipped to diagnose rectal troubles, except external ones. A a master In this field remarks: "The doctor gets rid of the patient as easily as he can, and the patient goes on and suffers." There are many nos trums constantly urged on doctors Who get by like that; stuff which helps to make the victim forget that no proper examination has been made, "One of the reason why many pa tients with rectal diseases put off consulting a physician la because they think the dlagnoata and treatment of such troubles Is repulelve to the phy sician. I am of the opinion that many physicians feel the aame way about it simply from lack of experience. This should not be so." That la a bit from a little book I regard as classic. In deed It reminds me of the book on heart dlseue by Sir James Mackenzie. This little book from which I quote Ls "JEtuentlale of Injection Treatment" of hemorrhoids and other common rectal troubles. It la by Dr. T. P. McNamara (Medical Press, Rochester, N. .Y) It ts regrettable, saya Dr. McNa mara, that the early cancer of the rec tum causes so little pain. Inconveni ence or discomfort. But if every pa tient who la conscious of rectal trou ble of any kind would put himself or herself under the care of a physician and continue under the physician's observation If necessary, there need be few deatha from cancer of the rectum. If that scares anybody to no good purpose, I'm sorry, but Id rather scare a healthy individual into see ic ing medical examination when there's really nothing serloualy wrong than encourage any one in procrastinating some easily or In dragging along with troublesome sllment which la curable. No doctor can make a proper ex amination In these cases without use of speculum and head light. A good many bumptious "surgeons" or clinic paraaltea badly botch the diagnosis of rectal conditions by making merely a digital examination. Most of the In ternal, rectal conditions cannot be detected by the sense of touch, and the doctor who bases hta opinion on such examination ls simply quacking It. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.

STALLED AUTO WRECKS TRAIN A Triumph For Democracy IT i. quito natural that there should have been differences of opinion as to the wisdom of some of the measures that were adopted as a part of our national recovery program. It is equally natural that there ahould now be differences of opinion as to the manner in which they have been administered. Where so many considerations are involved, affecting such diversified, and sometimes competitive, interests, this ia inevitable. But every patriotic citizen must feel a keen sense of nride and satisfaction in the fact that our eiieent situation, the acutcness of which was comparable with that of other countries, as ucen dealt with entirely by the ordinary processes of legis lation. Whatever has been done has been authorized , chosen representatives of our whole people. No dictator has arisn to assume arbitrary control of our affairs, with a dictator's disregard of cherished personal liberties. S a EXTRAORDINARY powera have been conferred upon certain nffininla 4a . 1 v - lv unusual emergency. But these have been legally conferred by congress; and the rieht to revolt them has been definitely retained by that representative bodv, whoso province it ia to deal with them under the provisions of our lonatitution. Our present situation, with conditions returning to normal, and, in some degree at least, speeded toward that end by the unusual methods adopted, must be regarded as a real triumph for our demoeratio form of government. Though revolution, boodshed, and drastic changes in govern mental structures have occurred in other countries, as the result of the world-wide depression and incident unrest, our own gov eminent has continued to function in the manner prescribed by our fundamental law ; and with the least practicable interference with individual freedom of action.
