SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 ' The "No" Pamphlet Is Out Voters of Oregon are now receiving bales upon bales of what is known as the "State Pamhler," which is issued according to law by the secretary of state to inform voters of what initiative measures have been filed for the ballot in November. From state income tax to closing rivers over the state, together with a crazy measure to hamstring legislators on bills they pass, fill the pamphlet. Oh, yts, in that pamphlet also are the Joe Dunne "twins," which he now disowns. These are the two automo bile license bills one reducing the license and the other raising the tax on gasoline. There is but one measure in the mess that is en titled to sincere thought, and that is the state income tax bill. It is a measure along the same old lines which the people of Oregon have rejected at the polls a number of times. The reason it should have consideration is because a studyof that measure will convince anyone that it is unsound, and that the vote on it should' be "No." The bill excludes banks from taxation, which in turn upsets further the tax prob lem of Oregon if it should become a law. Banks and money operating in competition with banks will avoid the state income tax, and therefore the very crowd which the framers of the bill seek to catch will escape the tax. ' , ". The p'amhlet is a "No" pamphlet throughout, and only serves to show what additional expense can be added to taxpayers under this "direct method of legislation" in Oregon, which has cost the state large sums and has permitted taxes to shoot sky high. What Oregon needs are political agencies with responsibility, rather than the wild political orgy in law-making, or attempted law-making, which has been going on for the past fifteen years. When you pay your taxes just remember that much of . the amount you pay is due to the privilege of living un der a system in Oregon which has been tried" and found wanting. I! . ' Have you driven over the paving on East Main street, and -also on the street connecting the state highway with the city on the north? Well, paving is expensive, but when a good piece of paving is laid it is worth a lot. Here's hoping that Klamath Falls at last is getting good pavement. It must be stated with a good deal of pride that the American Legion boys at Medford understand how to put on a state convention. We have heard nothing but the strongest praise for the Legionaires of the neighboring city, and we know they deserve it. The Evening Herald extends sympathy to Editor Cronemiller of the Lake County Examiner for the loss of his plant by fire yesterday. The Cronemiller family has owned the Examiner for years, and it is with deep regret that we hear of their loss.- Correct this sentence: "A widower with nine children is courting her," said the gossip,' "but he probably doesn't mean business." ; ; Fine! When we have vision by radio, the an nouncer can throw us a kiss when he says "Good Night!" : Banana cloth is being used now. It should make a nice little thing to slip on when you're in a hurry. DEAN OF RUM UNDER ARREST (Continued from page One) tlaiy for nioonshliiliiR and told his friends that life within the Krey walls of the prison waxn't bo bad. He was eventually par oled and, according to authori ties, Immediately trekked back to Klamath to start In making whis key agHln. D e s pi t e his propensity for breaking the prohibition law, the old man is regarded as one of the utrangest characters that ever oc cupied a prisoner's box. He Is tall and slightly bent If ht stoofi straight he would probably be well over six feet. A grey, bush Heard covers his face and a pair of twinky eyes shine out behind shaggy brews. How to dispose of the old man. Is a question that has been worrying the sheriff's office for months. Iteports have been re ceived that "Old man Davidson In at it again." Rut the question has always come up whether or lint It would be right to send the strange old mnn to the peniten tiary again. Bo Davidson kept "at It" until Ills alleged activity finally forced the sheriff's office to take action. One of the most amusing chap ters in the old man's career in Klamath was bis sensational es cape from deputies from the sheriff's office several years ago. He had been arrested at his little cabin near Malin and, while officers searched for a cache of liquor, was handcuffed to the whed of the sheriff's office car. The officers disappeared. Dav idson cast an intelligent eye about, espied an axe nearby and proceeded to chop away the steer-' Ing wheel of the car. When the officers returned, all they found was the mutilated re- j mains of a steering wheel. ! SrirlDK?

In the j opinion of K. H. McCarty. vlce ' president and director of sales of the Nash Motors company. "It la true that Improvement ' In streets and highways and In 'the mechanical operation of the j newest cars themselves la tend ing to Increase the margin of 1 traffic safety." he said today af ter studying the latest traffic fa tality reports: "but It Is also true that there la a general ten dency toward excessive speeds 'both ou the open road and truf fle arteries of our big rilles. "Because of this tendency to ward reckless driving, I am hear tily in accord with the appeal 'made by the National Automo bile chamber of commerce against ' the stressing of high speeds In automobile advertising. It Is only nttural that, when the high speed of his car Is constant ly brought i to an owner's attention and when speed rivalry la made a public point of Issue by furious automo ! bile makers,' the ordinary driver will enter into the spirit of the ! industry and use this necessary ' but dangerous clement on every : possible occasion. .
