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!

YOU SIIOLI.D MENTION IT TO YOUR DOCTOR.
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.

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.
