Jackson county on guided
tours and hear easy to under
stand explanations of the
complicated maze of electro
nic equipment.
A tent on the parking lot

sketching cartoons of their
impressions of callers," Crea
ger chuckled. "It is always a
lot of fun for everybody."

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
About a year ago -the ad
visory committee of the Ore
gon Planning and Develop
ment Department hired Dr.
John Sly, of Princeton Uni
versity, to make a study of
Oregon's tax "climate." He
has been working at the job
ever since, and in, a progress
report the other day he said:
"Throughout the study, I
have asked myself this ques
tion: Is Oregon's tax struc
ture COMPETITIVE that
is, does it compare favorably
with tax practices in com
peting states?
"I have reached this an
swer: "It is NOT out of line, but
it is on the HIGH side."
WHY it it high?
Dr. Sly answered thai
question in his first report,
which was issued on July 1 of
this year. He says:
"Oregon is known as a high
level SERVICE state. As long
as this is so, it will remain
a high level TAX state."
MAIL TRIBUNE, Msdford", Oregon, Tuesday, October 21, 1931 S
Polish Cardinal
Eyes Church Reform
In Foreign Affairs
Vatican City - (UPD - Stefan
Cardinal Wyszynski, Roman
Catholic primate of Poland,
was expected . today to pro
pose new reforms in the han
dling of church foreign af
fairs to combat the growing
menace of Communism.
, Vatican observers said Car
dinal Wyszynski's desire for
power to act independently in
dealings with Poland's Com
munist government was one
of the few known conflicts
facing the Cardinals who will
elect a new pope at the con
clave opening here Saturday.
Expects Some Support
The Roman cardinals, pre
viously led by Pope Pius XII,
insist on the Vatican's right
to be the only authority in
the church which can negoti
ate with other governments.
The Holy See never has rec
ognized church-state agree
ments reached between local
officials and governments in
Poland or elsewhere.
The Polish primate was ex
pected to have the support of
other powerful cardinals,
particularly some of the six
French prelates.
The late pope's rejection of
the French worker priest
movement in which young
priests donned overalls to
work among their flock in
Communist - dominated facto
ries still rankled with many
church officials in France.
Vatican observers said the
greater "internationalization"
of the College of Cardinals by
Pope Pius XII also was ex
pected to weigh in Cardinal
Wyszynski's favor. Among
the 52 cardinals expected to
attend the conclave, non-Italians
could muster the , two
thirds plus one votes needed
to elect a new pope if alljthe
Italian cardinals voted against
them.
Cardinal Wyszynski, the
only representative from the
"church of silence" behind
the Iron Curtain to attend the
conclave, pleaded his case be
fore Pope Pius XII himself
last year, but was reported to
have received a cool recep
tion. It was reported that he now
has circulated among the car
dinals the same report on the
church in' Poland that he
presented to the pope last
summer. It was believed the
report would be discussed at
the daily meetings of the
cardinals, but the sessions are
completely secret and no
word was expected on the
matter.
DENIES RUMORS
London - (UPD - Actress Eva
Bartok says reports that she
plans to wed an Indian prince
are "a little premature."
Prince Shiv of Palitana, 25,
has been seen with the actress
at London night spots re
Portland Schools
Study Play Needs
Portland -(UPD- The Port
land school board Monday
night appraised its physical
education program and heard
a report that city schools need
more swimming pools and
hard-surfaced playing areas.
Eldon Jenne, supervisor of
physical education, said those
are the greatest athletic needs
in the .district. Edward J. Ry
an, district athletic activities
supervisor, said he believed
a high school swimming pool
would pay for itself and the
additional teachers it would
require over a 20-year period
by letting the public use it
on a fee basis after school
hours. .
Superinendent J. W. Ed
wards said he was not so op
timistic about repayment but
agreed that pools should be
included in the high school
plants.
Board members also heard
a report that athletic pro
grams cost the district $100,-
000 per year more than is re
ceived through admissions
paid for athletics events.
Portland Woman
Dies as Car Upsets
Dunnisan -(UPD- Mrs. Mabel
La Velle Schneller, 51, Port
land, was killed Monday
when a car and house trailer
driven by her husband over
turned on U.S. 99W.
Highway patrol officers
said a large passing truck ap
parently caused a vacuum
which caused the trailer to
weave. As it rolled over, the
trailer overturned the car.
rpHAT is to say:
- If the people of Oregon
demand and RECEIVE a wide
range and a large number of
SERVICES from their state
government, they are going
to have to PAY FOR THEM.
They will pay for them in
the form of taxes.
That is realistic reasoning.
IS Dr. Sly : ight in his state
ment that Oregon's tax
structure compares favorably
with tax practices . in com
peting states?
I think he is. Southern Ore.
gon and Far Northern Calif
ornia provide rather striking
evidence of the correctness of
his statement.
They sit side by side. Their
basic resources are quite fa
miliar. They are divided by
a purely imaginary line.
There is wholly free choice
of sites. Industries seeking lo
cations, if they don't like the
state, can step over the line
into the other state.
There has beeh little, if any,
stepping over. Once located
in this general area, indus
tries tend to "STAY located.
Southern Oregon hasn't suf
fered in this free choice. That
indicates rather conclusively
that Oregon's tax climate is
NOT unfavorable to industry.
Nor has Far Northern Cal
ifornia suffered. Industrial de
velopment on both sides of
the line is proceeding at a
quite satifactory rate.
CO -
J I think
Oregon will do well to dis
climate" theory. It has 4ts at
tractive angles, of course. If
it were true that all Oregon
needs is a better tax climate,
it could fix up everything by
PASSING A LAW. Passing a
law is easy. Just write it on
on the books and then dust
off your hands and sit back
in your easy chair while new
industries pour in.
But, Dr. Sly says, it isn't
true. And his statement is
borne out by experience down
here on the border.
STILL
Oregon will do well to
ponder his statement that
while its basic tax structure
is not out of line with com
peting states it IS ON THE
HIGH SIDE. It is on the high
side because the people of
Oregon demand and get a
high level of SERVICES from
their state. Services cost mon
ey. They cost tax money.
If that is permitted to go
too far, Oregon's tax structure
could get outof line with tax
structures in competing states.
That wouldn't be good for
Oregon.

On the art of
using money
wisely
Suppose that from time to time
you have a little money left
over after you've paid the bills
and made provision for emer
gencies. Suppose you know there are
millions of American families
getting extra income from divi
dends on stock or 'interest on
bonds. And that you would like
that kind of second income for
yourself.
You might start with these
simple facts:.
To buy stocks or bonds you must
first find someone who wants to
sell. This is where the New York
Stock Exchange and Member
Firms come in. The Exchange is
the market place where the -stocks
and bonds of most of
America's greatest corporations
are bought and sold by people
like you all over the country. To
be listed initially there, a com
pany must be able to meet many
stringent requirements.
Strict rules
Each Member Firm, too, must
meet and conform to many
strict rules. And those who deal
with investors must pass a rig
orous examination of knowledge
and reputation before becoming
a Registered Representative.
Let's say you're ready to invest.
Since not all security firms are
Members, you first select a
nearby Member Firm. (They're
specially listed among stock
brokers in your classified direc
tory.) To a Partner or Regis
tered Representative you might
say, "I'm no plutocrat, but I'd
like to look into stocks and
bonds with the idea of getting
a second income. Can you help
me?"
Facts an advice
Of course he can. No one knows
better than he the importance
of good advice. For a company
may not pay a dividend or make
a profit. Stock and bond prices
go down as well as up. The es
sential thing is to get facta
never depend on tips or rumors.
He'll share with you, without
charge, his knowledge of securi
ties. Member Firms spend
millions of dollars, all told, in
research to get useful informa
tion for investors. Hell help
you buy or sell Aad from time
to time ask him to review your,
securities with you.
Ask for booklet
Hell be glad, too, to present
you with a booklet, "dividends
over the years," that gives the
records of more than 300 stocks
on the New York Stock Ex
change that have paid a cash
dividend every year from 25 to
109 years. It also describes the
Monthly Investment Plan,
through which you can acquire
stock for as little as $40 every
three months up to $1000 a
month.
Onct you've decided what to
buy, or sell, your Member Firm
promptly notifies its represent
ative on the trading floor of the
Exchange and the transaction
may be completed within
minutes.
If you'd rather get a free copy
ef that excellent booklet by
mail, just send the coupon now.
