Swat the Income Tax
On June 28th you will vote at the special election on a
state income tax. If carried, it means every stenographer,
clerk, office girl, waiter girl, barber, printer, plumber, in
fact practically every wage earner will join the income tax
" paying army.
The large income is. not. taxed as heavily in proportion
as the small wage earner but capital is taxed just enough to
keep it put of the state. And here is the reason for that :
Money is the' most timid thing in all the world. The man
"who has capital to invest and seeks a westfcrn state in whieh
to invest it, is not coming to a state that has adopted an in
come tax law when there are other states nearby that have
not done so. This puts. Oregon to a decided, disadvantage
should the Patterson income tax law pass, and puts us up as
a target for all other states, who seek investments just as we
are seeking them.
, Another thing that large capital watches is the fact that
when once an income tax law is put out on the statute books
each legislature will, when wanting money for public pur
poses, see fit to raise the percentage of tax as that money is
needed. We have but to refer you to the state of Wisconsin
which passed a harmless, apparently harmless, tncorae tax
law years ago. For a while things ran along smoothly till
more money, was needed for state purposes and then' the
rates began to be raised until today it is almost impossible
for large undertakings to handle their business in the state of
Wisconsin, i
If we are to handicap ourselves with such legislation.
if we are to disregard the laws of average and the desires of
people with capital who wish to come west and help to make
Oregon the state that it should be, then it is time for us all
to realize that we will sit here just - as we have r dona . for
many years and permit the -state - of r California -on the
south, the state of Washington on the north to gradually be
come dominant and. let us sit as the lean streak in the fat
sandwich of the Pacific coast.

Take No Chances
Sixth street property owners are acting with judgment
when they demand to know that the paving they are about
to lay this time is going to last. The same property owners
have paid for a pavement that went to pieces and is now
worse than no pavement at all. '
No man likes to be caught twice on the same hook and
the Sixth street property owners feel the same way. It is
for this reason they. contemplate a journey: to view several
different kinds of pavement and learn for themselves which
pavement would be. most serviceable for the " heavy traffic
which Sixth street will carry.
It is not at all pleasant for the property owners to
cough up another pavement tax; in the wake of one just
finished, for a pavement that was useless, and therefore each
of them can be pardoned if they seem 'to exercise caution
even to the limit of being critical on paving matters.
, .Laying a pavement is of the utmost public concern even
though abutting property pays for tne .' pavement. And
Klamath Falls has surely suffered some of the grossest treat
ment ever accorded any city in some of the paving laid in
the past. Without doubt no one can produce a rival for
poor povement, and the Sixth street area suffered intensely
from a pavement that did not last. In laying the new one
let us have one that will do service in the manner a pave
ment should.
4 Use the Scarifier Again
There is general approval of the city's action in tearing
up the "holy" pavement on east Sixth street, for in putting
the plows and scarifiers at work the city has put the street
in condition that a spring will not be broken when riding
over it. The rotten pavement is4gone on that street and in
its place is a street that can be used.
Another place where we would like to see the same
scarifier do its work is on the road to Shippington. Of all
the bad pieces of road in the entire' universe that seems to
be worst. ' It was once dignified by the word pavement, but
now it is a series of potholes, growing . deeper each day.
There i.4 just enough paving remaining to make it trie worst
thing imagineable. ' " ' '" .'
Somehow, the thought comes to us often that the Baldock
oiled road when kept up is far superior to the class of paving
that has been laid in many sections of the city.
This newspaper has no disposition to advise the city
administration on its affairs, but we do know that a feeling
of real gratitude will be experienced' by the people if the
scarifier is made the official implement of the road depart,
ment and used with considerable vigor on several things
that were once called pavements.
WASHINGTON senator J. noom
boom McWhorter ts sorely miffed
over the failure of the clgaret com
panies to approach him for permis
sion to use his name and comment
in .their ads.
N'ot that Senator McWhorter Is
a grasping person, you understand.
The money tho clgaret people mlKlit
pay him means nothing to hint.
Nor is tho senator so anxious to get
his topography Into the newspapers
that he must sink to such means as
that.
Hut It Is Just a- bit humiliating
to see the pictures of other senators
in the papers, alongside their asser
tions that Mucky Bites clgareti help
them In public speaking and that
they are bringing up their families
on Mucky Bites. '"" :
Just as soon, as ha saw the first
of these ads. Senator McWhorter
dictated an elaborate encomium to
these cigarets and had It all ready
to send upon request. But although
such senators at Wadsworlb. Curtis
and Watson made their bows to the
public and contributed each his
praise to this brand, there was- no
call for MaWhorter.. .
The culminating blow came when
clgaret ad appeared quoting
"Senator" Ralph Cameron ot Arl-
tona, who Is' no longer a senator.
Surely the tobacco trust had no Idea
hat an enthusiastic and loyal cus
tomer It had In McWhorter.
"Why. I might even have given
the $1000 to charity," said Senator
McWhorter to your correspondent.
with what sounded suspiciously like
a sniffle.
Your correspondent held ' the
senator's hand, patted him on the
shoulder and asked It ho couldn t
read the tribute .to the senator's
favorite clgaret.
"Yes," said McWhorter, reaching
toward his desk, "I'll read it to
yon."
And the senator began:
"When I was but a lad. I had a
helluva time learning to smoke.
Prom the age of three to the age
of nine years and seven months,
life was constant agony tor ' me
through stomach sickness brought
on by trying to join the other boys
and girls in this diversion and
through the shame of my weakness.
The other children would laugh
heartily at me and finally I was too
embarrassed to. Join: them 1, their
play-. ...
"Then, one glorious day." I dis
covered Mucky Bites! From that
day to this a clgaret has never made
me 111, hut I shudder to contemplate
what might happen "were I (o try
another brand.
"Every nlght I retire with a park
age under my pillow. Supreme
happiness for my children Is to have
their dady return home from a trip
with a cartoon ot Mucky Bites."
WASHINGTON One of the most
astonishing things about life In
Washington Is the fact that no man
in public lite can ever perform B
gracious or meritorious act without
bearing ell the sraartles brand Is as
inspired "by politics. The trouble
Is, of course, that more often than
not the smarticn are dead right.
At any rate; It seems rather a
shame that this stuff couldn't havo
been kept out of the picture with
Lindbergh's return and triumphal
reception.
Instead, many of the anti-adminis
tration folk long since began to
voice the suspicion that President
Colidgc had finally derided to take
care of Lindbergh's homecoming lest
he be nosed out of some Important
publicity and national good will by
Governor Al Smith of New York.
who might otherwise have done tho
honor's in company with Tammany's
mayor, little Jimmy Walker.
Somehow, Calvin Coolldge's repu
tation as a good politician simply
won't let his ill-wishers keep off his
neck whenever he speaks or acts.
On the other hand, one correspon
dent here wrote seriously the other
day that no man In the United State
was more excited and thrilled over
Lindbergh's feat than the president.
This was quite absurd, for Mr. C'ool-
idge hasn't been genuinely excited
over anything whatever in recent
years.
The fact that stands out just now
Is that JHr. Coolldge has done the
correct thing by Lindbergh and has
done Just what the country wanted
him to do. More could hardly be
asked.
Tho court action which threatens
to complicate the activities ot the
Federal Radio Commission was pre
dicted by Congressman Sol Bloom of
"New York in recent conversation.
Bloom expressed the belief that the
courts would decide broadcasting
to be a matter for state regulation
and thai the radio law, based on
the Idea that broadcasting 'was In
terstate commerce, would be cast
out because In brosdcastlng there Is
no buying and selling. Bloom said
he was In thorough sympathy wltn
the commission's work, but feared
that it had no right to Interfere in
broadcasting unless It was really In
terstate commerce.
WASHINGTON The capital city
Is all of a-twltter over rumors that
Senator 1. Boomboom McWhorter
has contracted a cuso ot presiden
tial rubles. - -
Tho local lorn) of tho I'olllliitl
Wiseacres . Villon, at its bi-weekly
meeting, voted almost unanimous
ly Hint there . wore grounds tor
such a rumor and Hie rumor was
promulgated with a union luliel.
Hardly any other const ructlou. It
is generally agreed, ran be pluccd
upon Senator McWhorler's riiiglnx
declaration of war against calf's
foot JellyJ
Senator McWhorter came nut
flat-tootedly. He denounced fill's
foot Jelly In such scathing ' terms
that he stamped himself as one of
the most advanced drya In public
life. ' "
When the nation first heard of
Senator McWhorter'a opposition' to
oilf's-fool Jelly, Ilia question " was
at once asked why Senator McWhor
ter didn't direct his ammunition
against pickled pig's feet. ' Many
substantial perilous expressed ' tht
opinion .that pickled pig's feet
should be abolished first and that
ralf's-toot Jelly could wait. .' Sena
tor McWhorter, however, soon en
lightened them In the followlng
publlc statement:
"After copious rnscnivlt nml con

myself upon one of tho gravest
Issues that ion fronts our times.
"What Is It I tint wlgcles toduy
