A south wind blew briskly
yesterday. It cama after aU the
campaign oratory, had no com
petition, and was a reuci.

there is nothing to kill but last

David Lawrence, the com'
mentator, reports the best
speech of the campaign .was
made by Prime Minister Church
ill. It dealt with the changing
. horses-in-midstream, the British
also having one in the political
waters. The speech was made
without malice aforethought
but nevertheless, helped the
Fourth Term candidate when he
needed it. The Russian premier
.also made a good talk. It was
"written In American style, de
spite the difficulty of translat
ing Russian to English." This
. oratorical accident came too
late the day before election
to count much. The President's
best speech was at Chicago, and
Gov. Dewey's at Seattle. He
was the only one of the four
chrged by the public, with talk-
v ing too much.
A Portland mother has been
fined $25 and sentenced to 24
hours in jail for allowing her
19-year-old daughter to traipse
around nights in disregard of
the curfew law. The young
lady met policemen four times
since last April, and the evi
dence shows she was dazzled by
all uniforms, save those worn
by the law.

RIGHT! '
But Not the Sales Tax!
EXCEPT a state sales tax!
Yes, after supporting a sales tax for more elections
than well than SHOULD be necessary the Mail
Tribune has come to the conclusion that this form
of taxation as far as the state of Oregon is concerned
better be forgotten.
Twenty-four states in the union have sales taxes.
They 'run all the way from New York City to Puget
Sound and from San Diego to Bar Harbor, Maine.
And as far as we have been able to determine, the
sales tax has not only been highly successful financi
ally, where it has been tried but generally popular.
At least less than one-half -of -one-percent of the states
that have adopted sales taxes have ever repealed
them. '

No Oregon veteran will be eligible to receive bene
fits from this bill if he has received them from any
other similar measure.
As stated durinor the
similar measure passed
had not been passed when the state measure was en
acted, is even more generous to the veteran, and
better worked out, than the Oregon bill.
So it is safe to assume a majority of Oregon vet
erans will elect to be beneficiaries of the federal,
rather than the Btate measure.
While the enactment of this bill is in the nature
of an unnecessary duplication, the demands upon the

comparison with the utterances
dinned Into our ears by those
in this country who lead the
minds of our people back Into
the past and make us believe
Russia is a sensitive sort oi
backwoods nation which needs
help, and must not be offended
by anything we say or do in our
own interests. Our second front
pinned down 70 nazi divisions,
but his front pinned down at
the same time 200, he factually
says. We helped materially this
last war year, but for three
years the reds fought alone and
thus save Europe from fascism,
he correctly says (remember the
domestic campaign speeches you
have heard).
His suggestions for the peace
show equal realism and similar
contrast to those of our own peo
ple who has been telling us all
we need is their formula for
rhe new league, without reser
vations, and peace will follow
automatically forever. Stalin
puts them to the shame of their

thees two. Anything within that
formula would presumably
please him.
The thoughts I reach from
the speech are these: Russia un
der Stalin fully realizes her
great new power, is preparing
to exercise it realistically in the
new world. Her interest in the
international organizations is as
sreat as or greater than ours
because the new setup wiU de
fend her newly acquired great
power, and perpetuate the status
quo of this war as the old league
sought to perpetuate the wholly
different status quo of the last
one (Anglo-French world power
then). For that reason she is
evolving from her old isolation
ism.
Stalin is apparently no longer
afraid of capitalism, else he
would"not go that far. He offers
no important compromises with
it or with western culture, ex
cept friendliness (there is no
mention of God in his summa
tion of the victory which he at
tributes to soviet energy). The
feeling I have, however, is that
he is prepared to make strong
reservations to protect himself,
and in the end, I cannot help
but suspect that any detaUs
which gave capitalism the upper
hand over his interests would
be unsatisfactory to him, and
of course any peace Which gives
him the upper hand cannot be
satisfactory to us. Peace, there
fore, can only be enduring if
noncompetitive, politically and
economically.
a
DUT the most Important con-
elusion to us is that our dis
cussion oi me wnoie suDjeci is
not on the admirable realistic
plane which Russia presents,
where reasonableness and unity
among us might be achieved.
Our debate is still steeped in
obsolete bitter history of an old
league political fight, which has
ho accurate bearing on the pres-.
ent or future world conditions
except as it has deceived our
people as to the realistic truth
of existing circumstances.
