ThU looks like "hem" -i.i r.rtit for what the mai- Tldual bas already accomplished THE outstanding problem of this coming Legislature will be the same as that of the 1933 session TAXES, how to get the money, particularly how to get the money for higher educa tion and our public schools. Word comes from Salem that the total property tax for Oregon this year, will be $94;)504,405, the' lowest total in 13 years, a decrease of about $15,000,000 over last year. e e THIS sounds like good news until one realizes the reduction is due to a decrease in assessed valuation, rather than in the levy, and that it will result in a reduction of the millage revenue for higher education of $31,000; and about the same reduction for elementary schools. With cash money due to delinquency insufficient before, this further reduction will make the educational situation even more perplexing. And the problem of the excessive property tax burden will remain as oppressive as before. What to dol . ' ,If this writer knew no doubt his services would be greatly in demand in Salem after the first of the year. But he doesn't. We doubt very much if anyone else does. It is the old question of what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable body. THE logical way out would be to follow California's example nnrl nrlnnr. a sains tnx. but from all we can learn, a sales tax will have no more chance in the 1935 Legislature, than a China man in Tokio. So obviously the only recourse will be to search for other sources of rovenue. 1 Whero arc they! At the present writing the Mail Tribune can only sec one, namely in the auto license field. The flat $5 auto license which contributed so materially to the popularity of Joe Dunne, nevertheless represented a loss of over $3,000,000 to the Btate treasury over the formcii graduated license system. Moreover the law which forced the owner of a Tin Lizzie to pay as much for running a car worth $200, as the man who drove car worth ten times as much, was inherently unjust, for it violated the fundamental principle of sound taxation which is placing the heaviest tax burden upon those best able to pay. Either returning to some equitable form of graduated tax, or retaining the $5 fee as a license to operate and placing motor cars again upon the personal property tax rolls, would un doubtedly yield three or four million dollars a year, at least on paper.

(Exchange) The Ickes-Moffett Break W'l STUDENTS PREPARING OREGON MINERAL MAP ) note President Roosevelt was "irked" over the confro- ersy on nntionnl housing between James A. Moffett, housing administrator and Secretary o the Interior Ickes. This is interesting. But it would be more interesting to know on winch side of the issue, the President stands. For it appears to this paper as rather an important matter. IT will be recalled Secretary Ickes last Thursday announced the government would enter upon an extensive housing con struction campaign, building homes on a 3 percent interest charge. Tho following day Administrator Moffatt announced this would wreck his own housing program, which was based upon private industry doing the job, via private bank financing which'" it WOl'LR r A tense situation immediately existed. From Warm Springs the President conferred with both leaders, via long distance, and following this both announced there were no differences be tween the two departments. THAT can be told to Sweeney I There were, and unless one or the other has backed down, there still are. Did the President tell Moffett to go ahead, and Ickes to forget it, or was his advice the other way around T The country is entitled to know. The Ickes proposal means more federal competition with private industry, the Moffett pro posal means less. the first is another turn to the left, the latter a sharp turn in the opposite direction. In tho interest of a clearer understanding of the future policies of the administration, it is regrettable that President Roosevelt didn't frankly state, which of his official family he backs up in this particular controversy, We have a high opinion of Ickes' honesty, ability and liberal ism. Put in this particular instanco we hope the "chief" patted the back of the other man, aration and ua of your "foolproof cough medicine" "Besides the medicine serves u an alkali to oppose any acidosis attending illness." Is this not Inconsistent? O. E. It may seem so, to one wluwc knowledge of physiology is mainly 1m parted by nostrum makers and plaus ible charlatans. Educated people of the class I 'All wiseacres are quite likely to cherish certain glib notions of such matters as acidosis and high blood pressure, an once the bunk merchants have the wiseacres well misinformed It ia easy to go ahead and exploit them, rather easier than It Is to bamboozle the plain every day Ignoramus, for the wiseacre Is a most credulous soul If you appeal to what he smugly considers h. superior Intelligence As I have tried to explain here many times, there Is no ground wha ever for the notion that wrong diet ever causes acidosis. Starvation muy cause acidosis, and so may 111 advise 1 restriction In diet or the purpose of quick reduction of weight. Acidosis not rarely occurs in the course of and as a consequence of certain serious Illnesses. But I repeat there Is absv lutely no sense In the wiseacre no tlon that acidosis Is likely to occur If you happen to take the wrori combinations of foods or If you prefer meat to vegetables or If you like lots of meat. Certain publicity hunters In recent years. have made the front page wUh their shrewd theories that acidosis Is a cause of "colds." and hence tne proper treatment for an Illness that purports to be a "common cold" Is an enormous quantity of saleratus end a lot of citrus fruit or Its Juice and when you do resume eating, only foods which will not leave acid ath. Very plausible and entertaining for the wiseacre, no doubt, but in mv opinion It Is sheer hokum. It Is entirely reasonable to expect that an attack of crl (heaven only knows which of the Common Respir atory Infections It may be) may cause porno slight acidosis, particularly in pijge.the case of a cm id. Tne alkali (ce rate of soda) In the "foolproof couti medicine" la not Used particularly for that purpose, but rather beeauee it Is a good sedative expectorant a dluretcl and diaphoretic. And It does tend to oppose any acidosis attend ing (that is, resulting from) the ill neas. This same sodium citrate, by the way, was formerly much used as an addition to cow's milk, to maie It more alkaline, for Infant feeding So it must be pretty safe medicine, for child or adult. If the reader would like Instructions for making and tak ing the medicine I recommend f r crl, ha will find the details in tne booklet "Call It Crl," copy of whi-ih will be mailed on receipt of request inclose a dime and stamped enve lope bearing the correct address.

Bathe Even Though a Woman. Is It harmful for a woman to tate a shower bath during the menstrua tion period? P. J. A. Answer While I can't recommend taking such prolonged baths, I can assure you that menstruation Is a function, not a weakness or disease, and an Intelligent woman should rot permit It to Interfere with her rou tine habits or activities. It is hanu leu to bathe at any time in the course of menstruation. Glyceryl Nitrate. My druggist said he has never heard of glyceryl nitrate which you recom mended for persons subject to angina of effort. He tried to find it. but the wholesale Jobber knew nothing about It either . . . D. K, L. Answer Introducing your drugg.st and the wholesale Jobber to the Phar macopoeia, which Is the legal stand ard formulary for drug stores. There ne will find Glyceryl Nitrate, otherw.fe known as nitroglycerin, trlnltrin, glo noln. I suggested that angina suf feres carry a vial of tablets, each tab let containing one two-hundredth of a grain of nitroglycerin, and take 4 tablet, letting it dissolve in tne mouth, as many times dally as need: to relieve or prevent distress.

(He has Just returned from several months spent In Germany In the study of this particular problem.) GERMANY, be told his hearers, 1& somewhat smaller In area than the state of Texas enough smaller.

Only one could be found that would stand for the antics ol Huey Long. Mr. Cornwall just used that as a figure of speech). THE POINT he sought to make i this: Germany has been going on, to our knowledge, ever since the early days of the Roman empire, and good ness knows how long before that, and ever since the days of the barbarians that were fought by the Roman em perors they have been cutting trees. Yet, after all these centuries, 24 per cent of the area of Germany is covered by forest. go. J mi H NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.

(AP After having been entombed 17 hours by a rock In the Harmon mine of which he la superintendent. Owen W. Terry. 30. was rescued at 6 o'clock this morning by a crew of workers who had strucelcd fever- YOU SEE, It is passible to make the lumber Industry a PER MANENT industry. The Idea that It Is a temporary Industry that lasts a little while and then Is gone for ever, Is purely an American Idea. MR. CORNWALL told of a logging canal which, presumably, la a canal built to float logs to market , that was constructed In 1789, and i Just as good now as when It was" built. Not only that, but they're still floating logs down It. That gives some idea of the per manence of the lumber Industry in the old country. ERE In Oregon, people talk oi the time when the lumber in dustry will be gone and will have to be supplanted by something else If we are to have a continuing pay roll. There la no gcod reason why the lumber Industry EVER SHOULD dis appear. They've proved that In Europe. HERE'S something to think about; The private forests of Germany, Mr. Cornwall said, are owned by the BIG people. About the farthest down in the social scale they got in their visits, he said, was a baron, and from that It ranged on up through counts, princes, etc. About the smallest number of but lers In attendance at a meal, he In timated, was five. GERMANY has been having new deals for generations. They have unemployment Insurance, old age pensions, and about all the rest oi the new social laws we're talking about ao actively right now, and ten years back they had Inflation that WIPED OUT DEBTS. Yet, you see, the bulk of the prop erty still seems to be in the hands of a relatively small number of peo ple. You can't get around human nature. ANOTHER thing; These big timber operations, he said, have attached to them a stall of workers, more or less hereditary in their character, the Jobs having been handed down from father to son. These workers seem to be pretty well taken care of under ths pater- , nallstlc system In operation in Ger- 1 many, having a pretty fair measure j of what the politicians In this coun-1 try are now referring to as "security. BUT LISTEN; i They have no automobiles ana no radios and no .washing machines and no fancy new parlor furniture, and they have little hope of striking' It rich soms day and putting on 1 dog. And they're exceedingly respect ful toward the big shots, such as the barons and the counts and the princes. Thta rugged Individualism of ours. that Is Just now so unpopular among the politicians, may have Its draw backs, but It also has Its points.
