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."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 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. To quiet this gentle

F1XANOIXO
Mr. Hoover's frank court testl
mony about the necessity of lu
restors hedging against Inltiitlou
caused some uneasy momenta
among governmental financing
authorities. 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.

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.

Yw, we know exactly whnt you

the community who are over Cu

remind you. also, thai the Al-

the total Income of the com

But what becomes of tbi and
other slmllur communities? De
creased purchasing power means
decreased buying, and decreased

This sounds like there will be
more money available for pen
