All rights of republica tion of apeolal dispatches herein are also reserved The Familiar Cry IN HIS argument against the sales tax at Henley Satur day night, Morton Thompkins made it a point to em phasize the size of the property tax offset the sales tax promises the timber owners and utilities corporations. All timber holdings were lumped together to show a saving on several million dollars valuation, and the same thing done with all utilities property, including railroads. The speaker then cited the offset promised the owner of a $1000 farm. This device evidently was designed to give Mr. ThomD- kins something on which to hang allegations that the sales tax is based on ulterior motives of selfish "big interests" and to give his farmer audience that downtrodden feel ing usually regarded as essential by politicians seeking to sway rural sentiment. If, detached from the influence of funny stories and effective eloquence, Mr. Thompkins' hearers give this matter some serious thought, certain important questions will present themselves. For instance, isn't it true that ANY property tax re duction will have exactly the same effect on large and small tax bills as that cited by Mr. Thompkins, and in exactly the same ratio? Obviously, the larger tax will get a larger dollar and cents saving than the smaller tax on the same rate of reduction. Would Mr. Thompkins therefore reject any property tax reduction measure that comes along? Would he refuse to permit the small prop erty holder a cut in his taxes because the larger investor is going to get a cut in his? While Mr. Thompkins went to the trouble to figure out the potential property tax reduction for the so-called big interests on a lump basis ($44,000 for utilities and $28,000 for timber) he omitted that procedure in connec tion with Klamath county agriculture. However, close listeners caught his mention of $7 millions as the total assessed valuation of agricultural property in the county. If that is correct, the farming interests would enjoy a $30,000 property tax reduction with the sales tax provid ing a four-mill offset Did that figure sound too good for Mr. Thompkins to mention to a farmer audience? ' The simple and sincere purpose of the sales tax is to broaden the tax program to meet an emergency existing in school finance in Oregon. It was the only adequate and logical method that presented itself to a reluctant legis lature. Mr. Thompkins told his Henley audience that he had an adequate income tax plan "in his grip out in the car." That didnt help the legislators last montn, nor aia he bring it in for the enlightenment of his audience. Some one said the-other day .the sales tax opponents wouldn't need any arguments just a little shouting about Wall street and the big interests" would turn tne tricK for them. It is apparent the shouting is oeing tried Whether it turns the trick remains to be seen. ' WASHINGTON New Behind the Newt a a a Tha Inside Story Prom The Copltnl a a By PAUL MALION Copyright. 19S3, by Paul Mallo Why Educators Get Discouraged WASHINGTON, Jan. it The tip la coins around among tha visa legal boys not to be to sure about tha supremo court going lor the new deal. That tip Is not based on In formation but upon the shrewd observation of the experts on the outer fringe ot the court. No one even tries to get any lustdo Information from the court ttsolf unless he wants to go to jail for contempt. Tha rati boys say, however. they expect the court will per haps approve another new deal In a decision to come shortly on the New York milk case. Thoy would not be surprised if it came by the narrow margin of 5 to 4 as the decision lu tha Minnesota mortgage case came. But even with that expecta tion, tney caution any one against betting that the court will go all the way with the administration They have good reasons tor their deductions. see DEVALUING These court experts noted that Chief Justice Hughes had a sig nificant catch in the Minnesota decisions. It was that tha mort gage owner would suffer no real loss but only delay under the state moratorium, as his rent would still go on. That was clearly a hint from the court Itself that lta benevo lent attitude toward new deal measures might not hold good it any loss to citizens was Involved. Insiders could see that the benediction has no blanket up plication. It cannot apply to a gold hoarder deprived ot his money or to any man whose wealth or property Is being de valued ny edict. a a a PRICES The decision to come on the New York milk case Is not ex pected to touch these points either. It Involves mainly the right of the state to fix milk prices. The court has always been against price fixing, except dur ing the war. Then it ruled that government regulation of rents was legal because It was a pub lic necessity In a time of stress. There la a possibility that the court will see the existing eco nomic emergency as a similar time of stress and permit the state to tlx milk prices. Sail and Livestock THE failure of the bureau of the budget to make any provision for the continuance of federal activity in predatory animal control and soil surveys strikes hard at the western states. The west is particularly interested in predatory animal control, carried on by the biological sur veys, because of its intimate relation to tne nvestocK in dustry. Soil surveys are likewise important here where land use is so much newer than m the east. ,' Some one has well Dointed out the interest of the government itself in extensive loans to the cattle and sheep men of the west. Such interest should be .safe guarded by range development which is promoted by the destruction of gophers and herd protection- provided by keeping down the coyote, each Deing an activity oi me biological survey. Soil surveys are an essential feature of a national inventory. They are essential to the best use of our agri cultural lands and form the basis for various kinds of development activity. In going forward with the soil survey plan in Oregon Deschutes was one of the counties next on the list and the elimination of the work is espe cially to be regretted here. It is not necessarily the case, of course, that the work is to be stopped. In a sudden burst of economy wash ington is trying to save the situation developed by the uncontrolled spending of the past six months and here is one place that has looked easy to the axe. Congress can change the plan if it will do so. Every effort should be made to get it to restore the appropriations tor these lm portant federal activities. Bend Bulletin.

A line ot reasoning was fol lowed in the Appalachian coal case which would have direct application to the NRA. In the coal case last year the court held that selling agreements were legal, despite the anti-trust law prohibition against them. Again the court considered the emergency. The coal companies were go ing on the rocks because they did not have a selling . agree ment to meet competition. They needed such an agreement to stave off an emergency of de pression and the court gave It to them tor that period. The worst that can be said ot the NRA is that it Is blinking at the anti-trnst laws In a sim ilar way for a similar emer gency purpose. Bat if it is to be made per manent and toe court should be required to rule on It after the depression emergency Is passed, that would be a legal horse of la different color. HUGHES All those around the court, inside and out, have an effec- tionate regard tor Chief Justice Hughes. They believe he pos sesses one of the greatest legal minds of this generation, per hapB the greatest. The new law be has written so far in the Appalachian and Minnesota cases is. only a start. There will be scores of decisions to come, all connected with the new deal has yet to bop that hurdle. As head of the third branch of government Hughes may be equally Influential with the pres ident and congress In fixing the future course of affairs. PROBIXQ The farm brain trusters are secretly conducting an Invest!' gallon to find out who has been scuttling the farm roltet ship. The main Idea is to discover why prices have been falling on commodities to which the pro cessing tax has been applied. Those on the inside say the re- suits will point to the processor and that he will be nailed as the goat. It is quite obvious that till phase ot the farm program has been Ineffective, If not a com plete flop. At first the pro cessors apparently passed the tax on to the consumers in the anticipated way. But that forced prices up so high that the con sumers put fishhooks in their pockets. Apparently then the processors began to pay the farmers less for raw goods so the price might be held down. e a a PROSPECTS The processing theory will probably not be discarded. The phase of it which calls tor send ing out of proceeds ot the tax to the farmers has been an en tire success. It has created purchasing power by giving the farmers cash. The question of who is to pay for the load, however, will shortly be determined. Agriculture Secretary Wal lace's figures Indicate there is too much spread between the farm price and the consumer price, so it Ib not hard to guess that the middlemen are In for trouble. a a a IOUBYIXQ One of the best lobbyists of the pre-Roosevelt era was Assistant Labor Secretary McGrady He was formerly "legislative coun sel" for the AFL. When Senators Borah and Nye were planning to lift their voices against the NRA, Mr. Roosevelt sent McGrady back to bis old task. For days now be has been moving among his old senate nala trying to keen Borah and Nve from getting anywhere.

The Golden Text was, "If Thou wilt enter Into life, keep the commandmonts" (Matt. 19:17). The lesson-sermon consisted of citations from the authorized ver sion of the Bible, and correlative passages from the Christian Sci ence textbook, "Science and Health with Koy to the Scrip tures" by Mary Baker Eddy, In cluding tho following: In the way or righteousness Is life; and In the pathway there- there Is no death" (Prov. 12:28). Man's privilege at this su- romo moment is to prove the words of our Master: "If a man oop my saying, be shall never seo death' . , .
