"Big Boys" Step In
(Salem Capital-Journal)
II A VINO regimented the cigar itore, candy store, drug
i itore, restaurant, Deer panor ana pool nan owners
to the support of their proposal to nullify the gambling
prohibitions contained in the Carney and Martin Dills
through enactment of Senate Bill No. 398, the pin-ball
and punch board operators are now enlisting the aid of
big wholesale firms dealing in "trade stimulators" in
their cause. .
Yesterday members of the house and senate were be
ing deluged with inspired telegrams pleading the cause
Of the "little merchant," In approved sob-sister style.
Today the distributors of these so-called "trade stim
ulators," who take 60 per cent of the profits out of
punch board gambling by school children, college stu
dents and others were laying down their barrage of sup
plications for a legislative reversal on the gambling ques
tion. To save the candy and cigar boards they would let
down the bars which have been set up in the Carney
and Martin bills to expedite and make possible effective
enforcement of the gambling laws.
Members of both house and senate have received
giessages signed by the Allen Candy company, J. R.
mith Cigar Co., Pick Cigar Co., General Grocery com
pany, Wad hams and Co., and Mason Ehrman Co., "urg
ing you and your colleagues to pass and work for legis
lation that will restore trade stimulators to the thousands
of small merchants throughout this state" and volunteer
ing their personal appearance before the legislature to
Assist In securing such an enactment.
Their statements are an admission that legitimate
business methods will not suffice to keep the heads of
those who have established their trade by gaming de
vices above water a confession that Oregon is support
ing a class of merchants by gambling rather than mer
chandising.

WASHINGTON, March t An-
other on of thoi studies looking
toward a complete overhauling of
th federal tax structure la it
cretly under way In th treasury.
ine now undersecretary, Roswoll
.Mag-in, is in charge.
Th study was ordered for th
good official reason that th In
com from social securities taxes
has altered th future revenue pic
ture or to government. Ia addi-
tlon, there Is th better unofficial
reason that th mistakes of th
last corporations earnings distri
bution tax bill are being disclosed
dally. Excellent methods of avoid
ing this tax hav already been de
viled, and changes In it are merely
being delayed until the additional
experience with th March 15 re
turns are available for examination.
No official word has been snok-
n, but Maglll Is said to lean to
ward a flat, simple tax, say 10 to
30 per cent, to replace th various
corporations levies, or, at least,
to eliminate th sliding scales.
Tax studies, of course, have
Decom annual affairs. They de
velop usually at this time of th
year, when the taxpayers, prepar
ing returns, become angry enough
to want to slap someone's bald
pate. However, this on seems to
hold some promise of gettlnr be

CHBCK8 AND BALANCES
All th president's horses and
aU th president's men hav ap
parently not been able to get the
largest farm organisation behind
the court repacking plan.
ine answer, or at least the
legitimate excuse, seems to be that
th American farm bureau federa'
tlon rules limit Its officials in
committing the organisation. They
can only espouse causes agreed
upon by the convention and the
board. And there has been no ex
pression on the court from either
official source.
Thus, while Ed O'Neal, presi
dent of the federation, may take a
personal stand with his close
friend In the White House, he can
not officially Indorse th presi
dent's move until a directors'
meeting is held.
True democracy, with checks
and balances. stiU survices in the

DECEPTION
It seems Rural Rasettltr Alex
ander really delivered that anti
southern speech which h did. not
deliver to the west-south harmony
copierence in Des Moines.
In case this does not make
sens to you, consider thes facts:
i Th text ot Dr. Alexander's
speech was recalled and cancelled
by an official announcement of the
agricultural department here,
which stated: "Dr. Alexander did
not use this speech, but spoke ex
temporaneously." But J. 8. Russell, farm editor ot
the Dm Moines Tribune, who sat
a few feet away from Dr. Alexan
der, heard the good doctor say all
the sharp things about southern
ers and southern statesmen which
were contained in his text. Rus
sell says that Alexander did not
read from text, but mad th same
speech. Others who listened on
the radio say they heard the same
thing. .
The evidence appears to make
out a clear charge ot deception
against th agricultural depart
ment. Tha testimony of witnesses
suggests that the department mis
led southern congressmen, who
might hav answered Dr. Alexan
der, into believing his attack was
not delivered. ,
If so, this is th only convincing
case on record in which th pub
licity disciples of th new or
der have succeeded In making
the nation believe a speech yas
not delivered, when It was.

Klamath Falls. Ore. (To the
Editor): Why all th fuss about
th president's proposal on th
supreme court?
Some time before th election
campaign It became apparent to
all thinking people that a sin
ister force was 'at work trying
to poison the minds of the voters.
This force wss cloaked as a po
lltlcal party and represented only
the darkest reactionary forces.
It was roundly defeated at th
polls the voters taking the "lea
ser of two evils. '
Th supreme court Is strictly
a class Institution snd wheth
er It Is composed of nine or 15
members It will still render de
cisions In favor ot the "three
per cent."
Insofar as th f 7 per cent
are affected It would be safe to
label th present act as simply
another maneuver snd dismiss
It In favor of some constructive
action to break the strangle bold
ot th monopolies on our na
tural resources and means of
production.
Let them give labor and tha
small business man and farmer
a higher standard of living
witn rewer multl-mllllonalres and
wa will attain a better balanced
system.
(By the wsy a 10 per cent
increase In wsgas does not ..off
set a SS per cent Increase In the
cost of staple commodities).
So let us all work to: reduce
th cost ot living without lower
ing wages; tax the millionaires
(not the small taxpayers) to ade
quately support the aged and
our 5,000,000 permanently un
employed and we will have not
communism, but "twentieth cen
tury Americanism."
Possibly soma will accuse me
for holding such beliefs as being
a dyed-in-the-wool long whisker
ed "Rooslan Red," but such is
not the case for I am only a
progressiva minded American.
However, I thought I was In the
"Black Belt" when I was con
fronted by a "ball and chain"
prisoner on Main street In Klam
ath FaUs.
