Well, that old issue Is back with us again. It will be decided on the November ballot, in the vote on the cigarette tax bill adopted by the last legislature and subjected to a refer endum pursuant to petitions filed in June 1941. This bill would impose a tax of two cents on the or- tftaary package of cigarettes. It would raise an estimated 11,600,000, of which five-sixths would go to public as sistance (ex-relief) and the remainder for vocational education. " , This measure has had a stormy career. The legis lature apparently intended to kill it, but in the confusion At the close of the session, it managed to survive on a tech nicality. Then there was a question about the legality of the referendum when it was invoked, and the tax was collected for a short time while that was being ironed out. But what interests us now is whether it should be passed or defeated on November 3. We favor its defeat. For one thing, it is an additional tax, imposed on a pacific commodity at a time when we are confronted with heavy increases in federal taxation to carry on the war. Furthermore, the commodity which it is proposed to tax is already heavily taxed by- the federal gov rnment Imposition of another two cents tax on each package of cigarettes (the price went up 3 cents when the tax was on last year) might well create sales resistance that would reduce expected returns and cut the federal reve nue from this source. When the tax was levied ' last year, many people went to "rolling their own" and smok ing pipes. Then, again, there Is a question about the need for the revenue from this measure. It would go largely to public assistance, at a time when welfare loads are sharply down, and when liquor sales are yielding heavily for. welfare financing. We have no quarrel with voca tional education, which would receive a small measure of support from the "tax, but since the bill was passed by the legislature, there has been a tremendous increase In vocational education financed through various public agencies. , . Finally, the bill is discriminating in that it penalizes the users of a single commodity, as contrasted with a general sales tax which some people might favor. The cigarette smoker pays 6 cents tax to the federal govern ment already. If this measure passes, he will pay another two cents, and maybe still another cent will be added to the price. That is carrying things too far. We recommend defeat of this measure. Our vote !rill be 30? X NO. Fires and Hunters KLAMATH Forest Protective Association reports these interesting statistics: Up until the hunting season opened, there had been five man-caused fires in area protected by, the asso ciation. Since the season opened, six such fires have occurred which actually called for KFPA action. In addition to this, dozens of indignant hunters have reported to forestry officials that they have found camp fires burningtand have put them out These fires do not go into the records and are not included in the figures cited above. That doesn't look so good, but here is something more encouraging to Klamath people. The only arrests that have been made in enforcing the fire laws during the hunting season have involved non-Klamath people. It's the outsiders who have been largely responsible for the carelessness. Our own people seem to be doing all right. Prices on Nylon Hose Will Be Run-Proof Now WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (JP) The pricei of nylon hose ar to be made run-proof. ' Convinced that charges for the hosiery have been running too high "In almost every store In the country," Price Administra tor Leon Henderson yesterday fixed ceilings on first quality nylon hose ranging from $1.55 to $2.00. The scale will become effective tomorrow. The most commonly sold full fashioned hose of first quality construction with prevailing prices which he declared were $2.90, $2.85 and higher. Stocks held by dealers for the holiday trade were ."tremend ous," he added, and would be disposed of at 'fantastic prices'' without establishment of a ceil ing. ..: The prices of "irregulars" will range from. $1.40 to $2.28 for the best grades, and for second quality, from $1.15 to $1.80.

It Takes Plenty Of Soap to Make Synthetic Rubber NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (jTV-The processing of synthetic rubber will use 100,000,000 pounds of soap a year, a soap Industry spokesman said today. In a' memorandum to manu facturers, Roscoe C. Edlund, manager of the Association of American Soap and Glycerine Producers, said that would not mean any scarcity of soap for others users.

News B By PaulHlLLON , By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Oct 21 The inflation represser. Justice Jimmy Byrnes, is going about his Job quietly, without much of a staff. He says all he needs is a place to hang his hat. The White House has given him a rack for it, andg'.'1.-"'W3CW partments lend mm wnat neipk s , he calls for. K J .Lilts icuimviucg y ay he is applying j J against salaries R has taken some-I VWI?- what me same - g easy form. His I VAl noia-aown step against salaries Paul Mallon is aimed to stop collective in creases, but to allow individual advances. While he went beneath the surface of his law from con gress to prevent collective in creases In even the smallest salaries, the rules he set will allow individual increases for practically any purpose the em ployer seeks to set. So also with the restriction of big incomes to $25,000 net a year. The only way the order can be enforced is to prevent corporations from taking tax deductions on salaries paid to executives above that figure. If the corporation chooses to pay the tax, apparently it can also pay the salary. Thus Justice Byrnes seems to be working up a formula which is a little easier than those con sidered in the public debate, certainly much easier than an arbitrary freezing, and no one can yet safely predict its over all effect upon wages, although it must be assumed the average will slowly rise. e DESTINATION UNKNOWN Mr. Wendell Willkie seems to be running some place fast, but the pondering politicos here are wondering where. Naturally, in view of the gen eral direction he is traveling, there has been speculation that he may wind up in Mr. Roose velt's cabinet, some say as secre tary of state, some as war sec retary, when and if Judge Pat terson, the heir apparent there, is appointed to the supreme bench. , In such talk, the seriousness of the recent pointed interna tional conversations between Messrs. Willkie and Roosevelt are discounted. . The second front dispute certainly served no permanent evil. It must have made Stalin happy and caused Churchill to remember the idea. Beyond this, Mr. Willkie's destination defies speculation, even though the publicity veloc ity he has engendered must cause any observer to feel the breeze. One thing he has continu ously done since the last cam paign is to correct the appre hensions of the New York radi cals, who thought him a bare foot boy of Wall Street, instead of Rushville. Along that line his progress has been continu ous, but in that progress he has lost republican support and ceased, in fact, to be the leader of any party. The only safe prediction is that the breeze will grow before it diminshes. e e NO CHEERS Some people suspect this is a corporation tax bill. True, it proposes - to collect only $1, 300,000,000 more from corpora tion and more than three times as . much, or $4,800,000,000 from individuals. But its top average corpora tion rate, (which will hit the big corporations like U. S. Steel and General Motors,) is 80 per cent, and, as they are generally operating under government or ders, restricting their profits supposedly to six per cent, the bill means roughly that they will be allowed to earn 20 per cent of six per cent. Consequently, while the stock market has been shaking off its chronic despair as a result of the bill, and the market mert are sayirfg the bill means busi ness is going to have profits which will continue to Increase slightly as production swings into its highest gear, there are no reasons for corporate cheers.

"Meals make the man," says an old proverb of the woods, and the modern logging camp table is a sermon of noble pro portions and prodigious variety on that text. No man feeds as well as the logger. The table of the family man whose wife is a wonderful cook cannot af ford so many varieties of eat ables and potables at one meal as the groaning board of the logger's cookhouse presents. The billionaire cannot eat so well, because food is only half of the story of good eating; it depends also upon lusly appe tite and prime digestion; and these gifts of the gods are pos sessed by practically all log gers. Ham. Eggs and Cake ... The point may be well illus trated by a familiar dish ham and eggs in the morning. A breakfast dish more enjoyable, particularly in the woods, can not be imagined. But for full enjoyment, ham and eggs de mand a rugged morning appe tite in the first place, and in the second, ability to digest such solid provender with neat ness and dispatch. The logger at breakfast is supplied with ham and eggs in wholesale, with stacks of hot cakes, var ious fruits, cereals, doughnuts, and of course several cups of coffee thrown in. Another point is on cake. This prime bakery item is a feeble and degraded thing, as it is commonly encountered in restaurants. Even the good housewife, following recipes in women's magazines,- too fre- capital gains tax more than the corporation rate. f As for what it does to the Individual taxpayer, the most extreme statement yet printed is not exaggerated. e MANAGED ECONOMY One of the old stories now going around, with a new war twist, is that the government is letting the banks issue paper money against . nothing more than government bonds. The inference is that money is being inflated artificially, as well as through price-wage increases. Under the present system of issuing money,, the treasury de. posits a gold certificate in the federal reserve banks and money Is issued against that certificate. The federal reserve banks may, upon the approval of the treasury and the federal reserve board, issue other money up to 60 , cents on the dollar with bond backing. But today the amount of gold held by the treasury is far above the value of outstanding currency, go there has been no direct inflation from that source. The real value of the dollar today is fixed by Mr. Hender son, not by bookkeeping de vices, but by decreeing the price to be paid for the food we eat and the wage we receive for our work. We have gone far beyond currency manipulation into a completely managed econ omy. HEMORRHOIDS (Piles) Hernia (Rupture), Fissure or Fistula Such dUord Impair your AafeUIb tlleiaoo7- oaraiog t power.

Crsara Puffs In the Pines . . . Brought up on a dry-land homestead, with meals that were often reduced to spuds and water gravy, my first logging-camp meals were amazing and wonderful indeed. I was seventeen before I saw and ate my first cream puff. It was in Montana. The camp chef was called "Cream Puff Fatty," because of his famous special ty. He was a one legged man with a. dour disposition. A cream puff was the last thing you'd think of in connection with him. But I've never sam pled better ones that he turn ed out amid the Bitter Roots. The king of hot-cake makers in all my experience was a cook in the northern California sugar pines who was as big and tough as James J. Jeffries. He was called '"Stove Lid" Ma larkey for the fame of a battle in his younger days when he whipped a mob, using two stove lids in lieu of brass knuckles or pick handles. The Malarkcy hot-cake breakfasts I never can forget. I can remember enough stories of logging camp chefs to make a book, as what old logger cannot? Does any read er remember Bob Graham, su preme master of corn pone and Johnny cake? If so, have you ever eaten any kind of corn bread elsewhere to compare with his? A Hint to the Tourist ... No visitor from the east should fail to look into a log ging camp kitchen in Oregon or Washington. You will see mammoth modern ranges; a multitude of every conceivable pot and pan a cook could wish for; wonderful assortments of crockery. You will also find close by, a storehouse that con tains a vaster variety of eat ables and potables than you've ever dreamed of for your own table, even if you happen to be vulger-rich, like a radio croon er. There will be an electric icehouse big enough to garage a General Lee tank. If your luck gets you to the dinner table, you will find before you what would amount to a half- dozen separate dinners in a first-class hotel, and you may pick and choose at will from all of them. And they will be served by a young lady, Immaculate in hair-do, dress and apron, pleas ant to the eye and congenial ".It's ORE TONITE CAL-ORE TAvenn HIGHWAY 47 SOUTH Telling The Editor taltsn srintM hart must sal M man than Wt want 1 HntH, KM! ba ami Ian laalMi an ONI tIDI si Ins MP suit, and must ba alnad.

(To the Editor) I have been read ing with a great deal of pleasure the many tine letters, pro and con, regarding the Jehovah Wit nesses incident of a few weeks ago. May I add my two-bits worth? It is quite true that the constitution of the United States provides that we shall be free to worship as we see fit, but, com mon decency decrees that we, who are fortunate enough to live in such a wonderful country, should by all moans respect the laws of the land, and also the flag, which is only the emblem of the country in which we live. I do not believe that that can be considered as worshipping an idol or a graven image, as some of the members of the sect con tend. It is my contention that any one who withes to live here and enjoy the freedoms that we have, should be willing, and ready, at any cost to defend and protect those liberties. Surely none in their right senses would expect to keep those liberties, should it come to pass, that the axis pow ers would become tha victors in the great war that is about us. I speak as one who is not a 100 per cent American, taking birth as the basis for that per centage, having been born in England. However, it is with a great deal of pride, that I lay claim, to being a better Amer ican citizen than lot of those who class themselves as 100 per centers, you know. I think the type that I mean, those who pat you on the back in front of your face, and cut your throat be hind your back. Those are the types that Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohlto are leading, or should I say, driving? If anybody pre fers that method of living, then for heavens sake go over with them, and take your chances of meeting some good American bullets, but don't bite the hand that is feeding you. So let us all buckle down to the business at hand, to hasten the defeat of our common enemy. Be liberal when you buy your bonds and stamps to stamp out the bondage that is threatening your liberties. . Sincerely, HARRY R.

(To Divert Income Taxes) Taxpayers should unite in opposition to this proposal to divert Income tax receipts to purposes other than as prescribed in the original income and exciso tax laws. These laws were enacted with' the specific pledge and promise to the people of Oregon that the revenues therefrom would be applied ONLY toward replacing and reducing prop erty taxes. The sponsors of this Initiative claim Its purpose to equalize school revenues and to re duce local property taxes. The exact OPPOSITE will resultadditional funds will be raised for increased spending. This promise of property tax relief will NOT be ful filled. The ballot title of this bill Is 'mis-leading and decidedly unfair to the voters seeking property tax reduction. Report of the State Tax Commission shows that this bill will increase STATE TAXES on your property $1,300,000 next year and this will INCREASE in later years.
