Ii Month. Ooa MBMtUDR AUDIT HURBAU OV CIRCULATION Member of Tha S!"ffi;lIl iailajav Punitive Tax Void THE late Senator Huey Long's punitive tax on news papers of Louisiana hna one the way of other un constitutional legislation. The United States supreme court in a unanimous decision, invalidated this attempt to hamstring the press because it did not conform to the wishes of a political power. Plainly and fairly enough, the court held that news papers are not immune from ordinary forms of taxation for the support of government, There is no reason why they should be. But in the case of the Louisiana tax, an effort was made to exact a tax from newspapers as a reprisal for their criticism of the Long regime. It was a direct at tempt to abridge the freedom of the press, and all mem bers of the supreme court, conservative and liberal alike, agreed that "informed public opinion is the most potent of all restraints of misgovernment" and condemned the "suppression or abridgment of publicity afforded by a free press." There may be a few exceptions,, but on the whole, American newspapers present their news with impartial ity, their editorial convictions with honesty. A free press is not permitted under dictatorships such as Senator Long ought to establish. But it is essential in a democracy. Which THE only living ex-president is Herbert Hoover. He is in a position to speak from the pedestal of authority and experience on the problems and issues that face the people of this country. Hence his public addresses at this time, such as the one in Portland on Lincoln's birthday, command wide spread public attention, and deserve the careful consid eration of the citizenry, whether there be universal agree ment or not. In his Lincoln day speech, Mr. Hoover made a num ber of telling criticisms of the New Deal. He cited the concentration of bureaucratic power, the threat of in flation and the questionable fiscal and monetary policies of the administration, the steady cracking up against the rock of the constitution of what Mr. Hoover asserts are assaults upon liberty. He charged that all of this, and other things he mentioned, lead to a confused state of the nation. . Mr. Hoover was right when, in his introductory re marks, he denied the truth of President Roosevelt's re - cent statement that the issue before us is "the right of the average man and woman to lead a finer, better and happier life." That is not at issue, because it is, of course, the ob jective with which we all agree. We need not now de cide whether that is the thing we want. That was de cided long' ago it is the we must decide m the coming months is whicn ot the roads ahead really holds the greatest promise of sound progress toward that objective a finer, happier, better life for us and our children. He Serves Well OCCASIONAL inquiries or pleadings for assistance in matters of importance to this community go from Klamath Falls to members of the Oregon congressional delegation at Washington. No member of that group is more prompt in his answers or more effective in his ef forts than Senator Charles L. McNary. Many another community in Oregon has had similar experience with Senator McNary. As an example, The Dalles Chronicle this week in an editorial tells of the quick response given by Senator McNary when depositors in the defunct First National Bank of The Dalles in dignantly protested the unjustified removal of the re ceiver of that bank. Here are the final paragraphs of the Chronicle's editorial : . Tha Yalue to Oregon of baring man In congress of the senlor ity, Ability and prestige of Senator McNary is tremendous. True, he Is a republican In a democratic congress, but even then his In fluence Is enormous. The administration more tban once has need ed republican cooperation and McNary, as republican minority leader, has glren 1L In return McNary has been able to obtain for Oregon such vital projects as the Bonneville dam, sea lock, and now ha will obtain an appropriation for our channel. Any man, regardless of party, who runs against McNary at tha next election Is due for disillusionment. Oregon Is going to return Its senior senator to congress by another overwhelming majority, and the Mid-Columbia Is going to do its utmost to show Its appreciation of his work by giving him all the votes at Its command. This is an example of general recognition in Oregon of Senator McNary's usefulness at Washington to his state. Adolph's Observations WOMEN folks are all right but you can't teach them any thing. When they get to a cer tain age they either can't learn or else they won't. I've been scrapping with my old lady for years about keeping a budget book. I thought that It we would put down what we spend, and what It goes for, may be we could finally figure out some way to save a little on cer tain Items. Well, on the first of November we got started. I got a nice little book and I explulned that she should put on one side what she received and list on the other side what it went for. Today I took a look. On the right hand page It says, "Received from Adolph 1200." On the other slda Is written. "Spent It all."

IS Phantom trumpeters of the new deal have been blowing In here and there, and the words have been coming out that there will be no bonus taxes. That one will be held up until after congress has grappled with and has been thrown by the problem of raising two hundred million dollars for tho so-called farm relief program. When the farm tax grappling match is over and settled, con gress will get a little note, di rectly or Indirectly from the White House, reminding It that there Is a matter ot antnrtliing the bonus yet to be disposed of. Just make a note of that. The amount of money which will be requested Is $1.15,000.000 a year, a a I'RIHilUM This seems to comprise tha whole Inside legislative program of the new deal for the remainder of the session. A wide variety of assorted excise taxos to pay the fitrm bill is known to have been prepared secretly by the treasury department. These will ba sub- milted to congress, when con gress asks for them, but not before. The administration wants to back into that situation caut iously, avoiding stress on It as much as possible and ducking di rect recommendations wherever possible. Less caution will be displayed later In regard to the bonus taxes, because the new dealers half-expect congress to walk out without enacting bonus taxes. But tha Important thing now Is that the new deal program has been privately concluded, that It contemplates approximately 4635- 000.000 ot new taxes and no more (no Income, sales and cor porate Increases). No additional legislation will ba requested. No pending legislation Is considered Important, except routine contin uance ot neutrality and routine government appropriations bills. That Is all business men and politicians need to expect, a a a PIXSATIONS Hottest Inner discussion now concerns President Koosevelt's sincerity In curtailing expendi tures. New deal moderates are Jubi lant. As they describe it, the 'public pulse" is right for e sharp curtailment It was not right when the budget was drawn up last fall. They assert Mr. Roosevelt Is taking hold of this Issue more enthusiastically than anything In new deal history. They promise a real effort, and not Just a political effort to establish a better campaign front. The change on the inside has come, they say, within tha past week. What wrought It Is clear. The bad reaction to farm and bonus taxes encouraged an economis ing line of thought, but the growth of the Landon campaign must not be and has not been overlooked. Governor Landon's thrift record has struck a popular chord. Nobody's word on the extent ot the curtailment will be worth much, however, until the savings are laid down officially on this dotted line. CO-OPERATIOX Senator Plttman said some sharp things about Japan out in Nevada before congress opened. Upon his arrival here shortly thereafter, he Indicated he had been misquoted by the press. The speech ha delivered in the senate Monday was about the same one he made In Nevada with a few fancier trimmings. There will be no assertion of misquotation this time. You may deduce that this In dicates Plttman must have spent the Intervening six weeks find ing out what a good speech he had made In Nevada. There Is more to the repetition than that. Pals on Capitol Hill say he let tha state department have four days' advance notice ot bis speech and Its contents. The de partment made no effort to tone him down. Apparently It shares some of the senatorial displeasure at certain unmentloned Japanese propaganda circulated recently In this country by an able Japanese spokesman.

Hut only a few. For the present their Inner sit uation Is encouraging the Infla tionsts in congress have been de flated. The outward movement of gold recently threw a scare into the Fresier-Lentkeyltes from which they are not due to re cover before congress adjourns. This and the president's prom ise of spending curtailments-have caused a much better feeling all around. a a a NOTES Treasury Secretary Morgen- thau did considerable casting about for a conservative under secretary of treasury, but found few eager applicants for that job. Financing the new deal debt Is hardly one of the softer gov ernment positions. The Black committee has run Into constitutional trouble trying to collect answers to question naires from various business cor porations. Private attorneys have advised several corporations to resist, under the fourth amend ment. There will be a peck of trouble about this when the com mittee starts hearings. Congressmen do not remember It, but they passed a law in 1D2I preventing government of ficials from recommending new taxes. The statute specifically states that "no recommendation as to how the revenue needs of the government should be met shall be submitted to congress by any officer or employs of any department, unless at the request of either house of congress." Both J. P. Morgan and Mrs. Roosevelt, In their definitions ot the leisure class, neglected to mention tha 11,000,000 unem ployed. News of Oregon MEDFORD. Ore., Feb. 13.
