Is ft sam ple, you don't blow up any too well, yourself. A group of small boys were caught yesterday pinying baseball on a va cant lot. with a busy street crowded with auto traffic handy. It now appears the oft-rejected Bales Tax Is Oregon's best bet and sole hope aa a revenue producer. Many of Its opponents claim they have no objection to the principle or the Sales Tax, but object to the methoda by which it, Is enforced. Another group dislike the name. B nips Tax. Nothing can be done about those In the first classifica tion. The second group Is not so hopeless. They might be assuaged If It was disguised as the Painless Salvation and Utopia Act. Helpy-Selfy service stations are being operated In the east, to "de termine their practicalness." The average autolst can be depended upon to serve himself efficiently with oil and gasoline, but when H comes to manipulating the cash register la apt to be absent-minded, or In ft great hurry. The work of counting the farmers Is now tinrierway, and is regarded by many agriculturists as a waste of time and money, and of less vslue than a census of the number of young men who came through a fairly hard winter, without wearing their hat. The mob was so dense t hat in ambulance was unable to reach the scene. When police and race officials tried to force the mob back, they were cursed and asked, "Why should you have all the fun?"

He kept his eve upon your corr. and looked daggers, and it couple of monkey -wrenched. Badminton Is a game of skill and science, and became a craze here Just when It devotees were getting ready to while away the depression playing ehesa and riding horseback. The experts were aMtted In their efforts by Messra. Cramer Deuel and E. Tumy. The tat ter played a steady game, and owing to a lark of wind, was so stesdy after the game he was practically motlnle?s.

How About Spending Less? HOW to get the money t There arc about as many proposals at Salem as there are men. One group favors luxury taxes; another tobacco taxes; a third boosting motor car licenses; a fourth, robbing the state educational fund; a fifth increasing the liquor licenses, and so on and so forth ad nauseam. Not one of these supijcstioni will fill the bill. Those nut coming under the head of nuisance taxes, will come under the head of robbing Peter to pay Faul. . , WHEN the legislature first convened, this column made the prediction that the only SATISFACTORY solution of the taxation prqblem, would be found in the adoption of a uniform sales tax. The advantage of such a tax over the luxury and nuisance taxes would be that the tax burden would be distribut ed FAIRLY over the entire state, and not fall upon special industries or special groups. Every individual in the state with money to spend would have to pay something. The individual payment would be in proportion to the individual's spending power. WE sec no reason to change this view. Under normal busi ness conditions we would not favor a sales tax, but under the abnormal conditions which still prevail we do favor it. The only way to get money under such conditions is to go where money IS, 'i.e. : take a percentage of the money that is being spent. However, as we see it, there is no more chance of getting a sales tax through the present legislature than there is of getting Jim Farley to endorse the Republican candidate for President in lO'.iG. It would be nice for the Republicans but it just can't be done. And judging the future by the past initiating such a tax, would be equally futile. Scores of states have adopted sales taxes and found them their salvation during the depression, but the people of Oregon arc determined, their state, is not to be one of them. So what to dot . . WKLL the only answer is to do the best we can. And the best, as wc see it, rests in cutting nil expenses to the bone, dropping the idea of nuisance taxes along with a sales tax, and then when expenditures become imperative, from the standpoint of the public welfare, using the state credit to carry us through. Not a very pleasant prospect. Hut. after all the state operat ed under a deficit of $4,500,000, without slipping over the finan cial precipice. According to our information such a program as the above could bo carried out, with a maximum deficit of less than HALF this amount. The key stone of such a policy would be rigid economy cutting all overhead to the lowest point consistent with efficient operation. Fortunately we have in the governor's chair a man who is determined to do that very thing. BROKEN FOR PLEA TO RESTORE GOLD (Continued from page one) His departure from his usual cus tom came aa he returned with his son, Allan, from a visit to New York. ! While he repeatedly disclaimed Im plications, the titular chief of the Republican party was nevertheieaa greeted alt along his route by polltl-1 cat allies and former officials. ! All members of the court, he com mented, "agreed the government acted unconstitutionally In repudia- tlon of the covenant on its own bonds,' although a msjorlty held . the private citizen "has no remedy." ! Must Pace Forward. "That will have long moral conse quences." he said, "but whatever the j morals, right or wrong, of the de-1 valuation may be, the face of the American people must be forward. "The need and the opportunity now la to restore confidence In the dollar. All threat ... of further de valuation should now be removed. To do this and to give a needed contribution to real recovery, the dollar should Immediately be made convertible at the present 69 cents of gold, making It payable In gold bullion." Return to the gold standard, he: said, would do more than any other single action to put men to work because "people are hesitant to In vest their ssvlngs and take long term risks because there Is uncertainty in what value they will he repaid." Would .Wold Deficits. A convertible gold currency now. he said, would help avoid "the other wise Inevitable budget deficits." "im poverishing taxation." and further devaluation or Inflation. Devaluation, he continued. . . . effects every wage and salary earner. Surely, a 00 per cent cost of living Increase, already now In prospect, should be enough without further Increase beyond that level." Inflation. Mr. Hoover said, may give an "appearance of false pros perity. . , . but there is no real re covery on Inflation medicine" Mr. Hoover continued his Journey toward his Palo Alto home today after stopping last night at Chandler, Arm. Insurance Company Pajs. Hli expen-.es for the trip were psld by a New York life Insurance com pany to which he was Inducted a a director upon the nomination of Alfred R Smith, hi 1P28 rival for the presidency. Both the expenses and a M fee were psld In currency, not In gold coin as wm formerly the time-honored custom st di rectors' meetings. While in New York Mr. Hoover sp-ke befote the Republican Lincoln day dinner, referring to the neces sity for upholding the constitution In thts period of "grave difficulty for all our people" In uhlch "fear haa come to dominate the world." "He (Lincoln) held the abiding spiritual truth tnat all Individual and national security must rest upon the .rderl v pr vcwx of constitu tions! self eminent," the former president said. (Continued from Page One) he held such a conference with his advisor, Prof. Raymond Moley, while riding through the countryside. Prof. Tugwell'a scientific report on cotton substitutes haa been sent to southern congressmen. It holds that substitutes are not ft serious threat because or their Inferior fibre, high prices and small production. It was Mayor LaOuardla who called New Dealer McOrady up to aettle the New York city elevator strike. LaGusrdla Is constantly playing closer and closer to the White House. It may sound like sending coals to Newcsstle. but the U. 8. la actu ally exporting larger quantities of cotton to India. Last week 14.00 bales went. Unfavorable weather has hurt the Indian crop and India's price is now 78 per cent of ours.

Beverly Hills, Cal, KO YOU STILL NLRSK If one ha, chronic bronchitis, what, asks an attorney, are the three best treatmenta to the order of their superiority? Lawyerlike I answer that a good deal de pends on the cir cumstances. What are the three best answers, In the order ol their effectiveness, to the vlllsge con stable's I n q u try as to the where a b o u t s of the fire? Hypotheti cal, p e r h a p s, but actually can you be certain that $10 will appease the Injured dignity of the corporate community? Plrst, If the Inarvldual with chronic bronchitis Is past 60. I suggest that he take l-200th grain of glyceryl trinitrate, formerly called nltro-gly-cerln, every two or three houra throughout the day for three months or more. He should carry a small vlsl of tablets with him and take them by dissolving In the mouth, as those subject to angina do. Next. If there Is copious expecto ration, and circumstances permit, a sojourn In the southwest Is bene ficial, summer or winter especially In the winter. Ne time to stop here to argue suffice that this move will not enable one to escape being ex posed to "cold." Through the winter one with win ter cough should endeavor to main tain his store of vitamins at the optimal level. I auggeat that he take a daily capsule of hallver oil or. If It Is not repugnant. & dally table spoonful of plain cod liver oil. for the A and D, and perhaps a dally spoonful or two of mlnamln In to mato Juice or other fruit Juice for these and the other vitamins. Wherever and whenever possible chronic bronchitis sufferers should tndulpe In sun baths: at least ex pose themselves to sunlight as much as possible. If the smoke-polluted air deprives the community of the health-giving benefit of sunlight, then buy an ultraviolet lamp from one of the manufacturers who robs you of sunlight and hsve artificial sunbaths at home, paying for the current supplied by a corporation that probably helps to cheat you out of sunlight. The smoke-suppression thing Is a good Joke on the boob public, so Is the health department which presumably en forces smcke suppression. The health department is turned over to the politicians. Isn't it? Then cough, fool, cough. Cough up to reward the Interosta that keep you coughing. One with chronic bronchitis whq cannot conveniently spend the win ters in the southwest can neverthe less enjoy every advantage of the Ideal winter climate at home, In my opinion.

His rich, so daily prominent wife, the former Mrs. Astor. in her sub. rosa coup aboard ship to win back the straying pugilist convinces movie ex ecutives Fiermonte may have the stuff. That Is the pulse pumping plt-a-pat that vanished when his fel low Italian. Valentino, died. Always they hunt another Valentino. The build-up for Fiermonte fits a favorite cinema word colossal.

During his stay In New York be fore sailing he had begun to block the sidewalk when he stepped from an automobile. And at several first nights diverted Interest from the stage. Although slight In stature he Is well moulded and his eyes reveal that slumberous something. So he may be the guy. A reporter, by the way. came upon another pugilist the other day in Harlem who is not so fortunate as Fiermonte.

MHilOKII I'Hom: i Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS LET'S take another look at this tre mendously Important gold deci sion: It says, In effect, that In those cases where the government of the United States has agreed to pay Its debt In gold it MUST pay them in gold. Then it turns around and says that the government can't be sued to com pel It to pay Its gold clause debts In the New Deal paper money equivalent of gold. THAT Is to say. If you hold a 91,000 gold bond of the government of the United States, you can't compel the government to pay you 1690 New Deal paper dollars for It. '1 7ERY well ,,,-youmay 'say. "Sup V pose I hold a (1,000 gold bond of the United States, and under this de cision demand payment of It IN GOLD. "What will happen?" PRESUMABLY, this would happen: The treasurer of the United States, with one hand, acting under the supreme court's gold clause deci sion, would pay you your $1,000 In gold: then, with the other hand, act ing under the gold hoarding act, he would TAKE AWAY your gold, paying you 1000 paper dollars for It. If this assumption la correct, you would come out of the deal with 1000 New Deal paper dollars In payment for your 91,000 bond. WITH regard to private, state and municipal gold clause bonds, the court rules that they do not HAVE to be paid In gold. The cltuatlon, you see, la this: The government HAS THE GOLD all the gold there Is, as ft matter of fact and so CAN pay in gold. Pri vate individualsIncluding corpora tions states and municipalities have no gold and can't get any, and so CANT pay In gold. THE decision "wasdTvlded five Jus tices for It and four against. Justice McReynolds, delivering the minority, or dissenting, opinion, said: "The Constitution la gone.' I ET'S see about that. Payment In gold except for tl government, which has ftll the gold is a physical Impossibility. You can't pay with what ISN'T. And failure to pay would, have meant DEFAULT. PAYMENT of gold clause debt with the EQUIVALENT of gold that la to say, with New Deal paper dollars at 35 to the ounce Instead of 20.67 to the ounce would have meant that for every 1 .of gold debt, (1.60 In paper dollars would have to be paid back. Because of the vastness of the su -s Involved, that would have meant bankruptcy, foreclosure and chaos. The purpose of constitutions Is to PROTECT not to destroy. TpHIS unimportant writer, speaking M, strictly as an Individual and ex pressing a purely personal opinion, hasn't much use for rubber dollars and believes that In the long run we would have been much better off If we had held to a dollar whose value we can rely on. But the point Is that we HAVE rubber doltars now, and our whole structure of business values has been adapted to them. To have to go back SUDDENLY to the basis of the old dollar would be a shock that busi ness none too robust, anyway might not have been able to survive. To this writer, It seems that the supreme court, in Its momentous gold clause decision, held to the rule of reason and did about the best that could be done under the circum stances.

I wish some one would tell me Just what to do. Should one work or not? BEN BROWN. Medford, February 21. He Likes the Sales Tax To the Editor: After considering all the discussion regarding the Townsend old-age pen sion plan we can see but one logical reason why It will not do all that Is claimed for It. It Is our Humble opin ion that all reform measures will meet with failure as long as we fall to comply with scientific laws. What the Savior said about put ting a new patch on an old garment most truthfully applies to reforms which seek to bolster up our worn out economic system. A vast majority of the people do not believe this fact. Neither do they realize that It is an Impossibility to convince the human mind of the truth or fallacy of any theory, doctrine or principle until It has been demonstrated by trial. Frequently It Is necessary to resort to many tests before the truth can be arrived at. Such has been the case In our mechanical development. This afore mentioned profit sys tem Is a veritable leach. After this parasite had sapped up our life-blood the "new deal" gave us a blood trans fusion to the tune of several billion dollare. By the way this Is some dif ferent from the usual field In that we have agreed to give back this blood, sometimes called "spandu llcks." Aside from being obliged to return this life-giving substance as soon as the patient gets out of bed we must 'also dig up an additional amount called Interest. I leave the result of such unethical medical practice to your Imagination. The same thing in a larger degree would go on under the Townsend plan. We think the transfusion would have to be repeated periodically. From whence will it come? From an other bond issue? From a 100 per cent Income tax on the molllonalres that are bound to result from the in creased business? That would spoil all the fun, destroy the Incentive of the smart boys, and that would dissolve the bony frame work of the profit system. I like the sales taxi We could con tlnually Increase the rate ou the blood remaining In our circulation, but every time it goes around there will be less. When the hackamore hurts bad enough, tho, we can turn, Let's try the T. O. P. plan once for the benefit of the Mlssourlans who must be shown, as well as for the sake of a class of fo'k kicked out of industry at 40 who are as deserving as the CCC boys, as near human as a bunch of homeless dogs and cats, and as good fighters as retired army officers.
