We must win this war or be
laves to barbarians of the low
est human type. There li no
middle ground. We must this
time create world peace that
will protect all nations against
a repetition of what is going on
War Support Pledged
Mr. Ellsworth further tated
that he would support the presi
dent "in every way that I pos
ibly can" toward winning the
war and closed by saying that
second in importance to winning
the war was safeguarding of the
representative form of govern
ment in our own land and pre
servation of the two-party sys
tem In order that those who are
fighting to preserve represents-1
tive government and the Amer
ican way of life may find it at
home when they return.
Kelly Lauds League
"The reason America has won
all her wars is that she has al
ways supported her leadership
through to final victory," de
clared Mr. Kelly in his talk. He
cited support of the commander-in-chief
and full cooperation
with the war effort as two of
the most Important functions of
the next congress.
That the League of Women
Voters has blazed the trail In this
country for independent political
thought and non-partisanship in
the consideration of candidates
and Issue; was aim stated by Mr.
Kelly. "I believe that the league
deserves more credit for large
scale education of voters on our
present foreign policy than any
other force in the nation," he
aid.
Referendum! Discussed
Three tax referendums on the
November 3 ballot were dis
cussed at length. Mrs. Walter
Inch discussed the bill dealing
with school taxes, pointing out
that proponents state it will take
some of the burden of school
taxes from the landowner, trans
ferring It to Incomes and that
opponents state, among other
things, that It in no manner
remedies the Inequalities of our
present tax structure as applied
to schools.
Arthur M. Cannon pointed out
in discussing the cigarette tax
measure that It is an easy way
to raise a good sized sum of
money and that proponents of
the biU point out the need for
funds, mainly for old age pen
sions. Estimates are that such
a tax would raise about $2,000,
000, he said. Arguments against
the measure are that cigarettes
are already heavily taxed, that
it dlscr'minates against one class
of people to the benefit of an
other, that earmarking one tax
for a special purpose is consid
ered poor fiscal policy by tax
experts.
In speaking on the blU which
would specify exclusive use of
gasoline and motor vehicle taxes
lor highways, parks, scenic and
historical places, Donald K. Bag-l-y
used material from an article
by Senator Charles L. McNary.
T.ie article pointed out that Ore
gon originated the so-called gas
tax, but that It had since been
diverted to a variety of uses
other than highways, which the
senator deplored.
Farrell On Credit
Franx Farrell spoke on the
rural credits loan fund repeal
amendment, pointing out that the
state set-up to loan
farm property was now super-
ceaeo. oy tne federal agencies.
was no longei necessary and
therefore should be reoealed.
Mr. Farrell also discussed the
amendment authorizing regula
tion by law of the voting privi
lege forfeiture, stated that the
measure had been passed by
the legislature in the belief that
a more modern and humane
act should replace the original
measure.
The bill concerning restriction
of net fishing in certain coastal
streams was presented by Ken
neth Denman, who pointed out
that the measure represents an
other effort of sportsmen to con
serve the famous steelhead as a
game fish. Mr. Denman re
viewed tha eld controversy be
tween commercial and sports
fishermen and pointed out that
In the opinion of sportsmen of
the state the bill would further
conserve steelhead and would on
the other hand do little harm to
commercial fishermen.
Rogue Unaffected
The bill does not apply to the
Rogue river, which was closed
to commercial fishing by a pre
vious bill, nor to the Columbia
river, he stated. Mr. Denman
pointed out that the bill was
sponsored by the Oregon Wild
life Federation.
Mrs. I. D. Murray briefly dis
cussed the legislator's compensa
tion constitutional amendment
which seeks to raise the legist
tors' salary from the old rate of
$ 3 to f 8 a day for regular and
extra sessions.

WASHINGTON BUSMAN
GETS LOST IN PARK
Washington, Oct. 27 (U.PJ
Newest of the capital's transit
tales: A cross-town bus bearing
16 passengers last night dipped
into Rock Creek park, as usual.
A half hour later the driver ad
mitted ruefully that he was
hopelessly lost In the park's
complicated maze of highways.
None of the passengers knew
where they were, either. The
weary group, still in the bus,
finally emerged from the park
far off the course and eventu
ally found their way back to the
proper route. 1
American pamphlets as well
as bombs, fell on Tokyo and
other Japanese cities last April
18 when Brig. Gen. James H.
Doollttle led a squadron of
United States bombers over the
enemy's homeland. -
This fact was revealed to Dr.
E. W. Barnum Sunday night by
a small group of U. S. fliers
who were dinner guests of the
Barnum family at their home,
328 North Oakdale avenue.
The pamphlets dropped from
the American bombing planes
were in the form of a brown
leaf, on each side of which was
Japanese writing. The fliers
left one of the pamphlets with
Dr. Barnum, along with a trans
lation of the writing, which
laid:
"Before spring comes again
the bombs of America will fall
like the Paulowina Imperialis
leaves, bringing misfortune and
bad omen. The fall of one
Paulowina Imperialis leaf Is a
portent of the annihilation of
the militarists. Its scattering
means only an accumulation of
sorrow and misfortune."
The fliers explained to Dr.
Barnum that Paulowina Imperi
alis was a monotypic genus of
Japanese tree of the family
Scrapeulariaclae.
MILDRED HARRIS EXTRA
