Income Tax 'Again
1 i A Pioneer Stage Man
: , 11(1 " i
In the sale of the Howard stage line which runs from
this city to Medford the Evening Herald welcomes the ne
purchaser, Mr. F. M. Rohn, and wishes him great success
Which 'we feel sure he will have. But the retiring owner,
Mr. Charles B. Howard, is a character whose passing from
the stage business cannot be overlooked, for it marks an
epoch in transportation for this-interior country.
- "Mr. Howard started the auto stage line many years
ago with' a Ford car. He had the courage to combat the
country roads then, for there was no highway. He had the
courage to give to the people automobile passage across
the mountains when it .took a Ford working in the approved
Balsiger manner to get up the steep grades. Mr.. Howard
ib the type of man that no obstacle staggers. Had it been
iiot so, many would have been the ' times discouragement
would have sent him back to the valley only to aband his
project. ; No, he kept at it with all his will and energy. He
hauled the traveler across safely and landed him in Klam
ath sometimes a little late, but he always go him there.
. Then came the highways and he played no small part
in getting the present good roads for he could apeak' with
wisdom and experience on the need of them. With the good
roads he equipped a stage line up to the last minute with
excellent cars, with such careful drivers as Al Smith and
others, and Howard gave service that always could be de
pended upon. His investment was large but his business
was good. It is no secret that the Klamath stage line to
Medford is the best paying line in the state.
Now, that he is retiring, we say to him : "Well done,
good and faithful servant. You have had your day in pio
neering a great undertaking and we wish you happiness and
contentment in whatever line of endeavor you may pursue,
hoping that you will'always realize that the people of this
interior country appreciate you and what you have done."
Governor Patterson has surprised the whole state by
his advocacy of a state income tax to raise money to meet
the state's deficit.
How the governor figures is plain to be seen, for all
he sees as an official is to meet the debt. But there is more
to the present situation than meeting an immediate need.
People who make money should pay and must pay, but
an income tax is the very worst thing that could be put
upon Oregon which is so much in, need of development, for
income tax is a bugbear to new industry.
Looking in a broad way at the state's condition let vu
suggest to the governor that he will never solve Oregon's
problem until he induces more industrial plants into this
state with payrolls to employ labor. The farming of , the
state cannot carry the load it has now and to reduce it in
dustry must be brought here. ' r
Will Governor Patterson's proposed income tax bring
that industry? Will it be an incentive for new concerns t'j
Vcome here? We doubt it very much. In fact, historv of
the past few years shows to the contrary.
.. would it not nave been better for the Governor to
have advocated an excess profits tax, for in that way -he
would have reached the ones in the state who are making
big money and paying little if any tax?
There is no desire on anyone's part to see the wealthy
go along without paying their share, but the real problem
that confronts every Oregon community is lack of industry
to employ labor, and it is far from wise to enact an income
t3x which has proven in tjie past to be the very thing that
keeps out that industry.
Give tfie state an excess profits tax and we will have
a tax that will actually "get" the tax dodger, the wealthv
chap who refuses to bear his part of the burden, and at the
same time we will not be driving out institutions' that give
employment to labor.
With the Portland Journal and the Portland Oregon
ian now in bed together on the Patterson income tax plan,
I the Oregonian having changed front completely and sur
rendered ail its tnousands of columns of argument against
an income tax, it is very reasonable to suppose that the
Governor's program will be put into effect and the state
will have an income tax in a short jime. But this does not
by any means make it economically sound, nor does h
enhance the chances of the state to get more pay rolls. On
the other hand it is quite likely to drive some institutions
now employing labor out of the state.

' "Profit and Loss"
By ENSIGX H. BRIMiS
Officer 111 Chance of "The Salavallnn Army"
Probably Not For Long
1 It is no use to get excited because the lumber market
is off and mills are curtailing their output at the present
time. Let us all hope the slack market will soon liven ' up
and the Klamath mills will start with larger forces than
i:suaL'
Lumber has its ups and down9) very much the same a:
other commodities, and sometimes it would seem a little
more so. At present it is a fact that the yards at mills ar
filled with manufactured lumber and that one shift is being
un where two and three shifts have been run. But, this is
the time of year for a lull in lumber business. Probably the
present outlook is not quite as good for spring manufactur:
ing as it might be, but it is no time for the cloak of gloom
to be spread over business as a market change for the bet
ter may come at any time.
- Other lines of work promise employment to take ' up
the slack'to some extent and in a general way things do not
look ghastly at all and to many of us the year of 1927 in
Klamath Falls sparkles with possible railroad building, in
s taxation, of more jobbing and wholesale houses and a great
municipal improvement campaign.
Br KVSIGX H. BltlGGK,
Officer In Charge of "The Sal
vation Army"
"For what Is a man profited,
if he shall gain the .whole world,
and lose his own soul?'' Mat
thew 1C-2C.
The very Important question
to each one is, "What can I in
vest In that will be most profit
able to me?"
It Is well to consider your
soul, and Invest in a Christian
life.
"Godliness is profitable unto
all things; having the promise
of the life that now is, and
the life that Is to come. .
Jesus says, "Lay up treasures
in Heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through,
nor steal."
"All things work together for
goad, to them who love the
Lord."
The Salvation of Jeans Christ
will pay big dividends In this
life.
"And he that doeth 'the will
of Gxi abideth forever."
Salvation is profitable, because
it satisfies the. soul, brings peace
to the mind and rejoicing to
the heart. .
If there was nothing beyond
the grave, a Christian life wonld
still be the most profitable.
The question Is. "What are
you living for?" There may be
some pleasure in sin, but no
profit. . . -
Moses chose rather to suffer
afrillctions with the children of
God, than to enjoy the pleas
ures of sin for a season.
Before going Into business, we
are careful to figure the profits
and losses. If the losses exceed
the profits, we will not go Into
that business.
' There Is no profit ' in the
business of sin.
It means the loss of health,
loss of character and a total loss
at death. Sin will bankrupt every
one that goes Into it.
God does not settle up his ac
counts on the first day pf every
month. But on the judgment day
the books will be opened, and
every man be rewarded accord
ing as his work shall be.
