That big laugh, which A so often rang cheerily through The Herald and News offices for five pleasant years, will Be heard no more. The asso- r-?e qiated Press, and readers ot ftp papers everywhere, will tie deprived of the work of an able craftsman ana ODserver, whose name has become syn onymous with accurate, color ful reporting from the blazing Pacific war fronts. ' For five years, we sat cross the cluttered Herald and News news desk from Ace Bush. We knew well Mr., deeDlv perceptive and excep tionally informed mind, his devotion to the iause of an honest story ably written, his warm human qualities, and his precious sense of humor. It is not easy to write this little tribute Jo his memory; It is not easy for one of us here So select a picture to appear with the tragic aption and story on page one. i Ace Bush was one of us here-,at The Herald and News. He won his first newspaper laurels here, as sports and news editor. He went on to cork for the AP that' was widely recognized . or its excellence, and brought him the thrilling ; ssignment to Douglas MacArthur's headquar ers in the South Pacaflo. And that. brought the ragic finish in the blast of. a-Japanese bomb n Leyte. '. 4rV' If Ace feared death, it was because of the iurt he knew it would bring to his wife, a Clamath girl, and his relatives and .friends. He ' rauld be more philosophical about what hap pened than we can be. Gross Income Measure ; (a MEASURE that must be defeated at the r polls November 7 is a proposed constitu tional amendment imposing a gross income tax Jo furnish a minimum . at $60 a month to all persons 60 years old or over, who abstain from gainful occupation and spend each month's "pen sion"' within 30 days after its receipt. Disabled r blind people unable to-earn normal incomes would also be recipients under the measure. J This measure, because of it pension provi sions, may draw voting support from many peo ble .who are generous in nature and do not realize the dangerous implications of the gross Income , tax which it establishes. Fortunately, phase' unacceptable features have .been recog nized by both of the big labor organizations, Which -arevigorously . opposed to the measure, by farmers and farm groups, as well as business nd many other organizations in the state. I The gross income Ux provision is for a mini ynum of 3 per cent and a maximum of 9 per pent.'. This tax is to be levied in addition to all bther taxes and excises. It would be piled upon fcop of all the taxes paid by individuals, firms, fcorporations, etc., including property taxes, state Income taxes, federal income taxes, withholding taxes, payroll taxes, and other levies that al ready take so much of earnings and income, i No attempt is made to tax according to ability to pay, because there are no allowances lor dependents, no deductions for expenses, or for other taxes, such as ore permitted in the ftate and federal net income taxes which we toay. The tax will be levied on every cent taken Jn by the citizens of Oregon, i . Labor and Farm Objections I Furthermore, the taxes will pyramid. This feffect is Illustrated by C. L. Jamison, secretary pt the Oregon farm bureau and former secretary of the Oregon Horse and Cattle Raisers associa tion. He points out that a S per cent tax on one jarload of 26 Oregon steers shipped to Portland would cost the livestock producer ?694, which includes the tax on all transactions and services, fell of which would be deducted from the ship per's proceeds of sale because, the Portland price would have to be in line with prices in puier murKeig jor came. - ; The Oregon Federation of Labor points out hat the "tax WOUld Blac a ViMW hanrliran fan all articles produced and sold in th otato ,An article made from Oregon material would take a tax on tht raw material, would take an other tax on each of the processes through which it passed in maiiufaature and in distribu tion and finally would take a tax when sold at retail to the consumer. An article made in an other state and told at retail in Oregon would take the tax only once. It is easy to see that Oregon Industry could not survive such dis crimination." Farmers would he heavily penalised, being forced to take competitive market prices for their Oregon-taxed products, and being forced to pay the pyramided tax on the things they buy. The tax is packed full of inequities, which make the measure totally unacceptable, regard less of all other arguments. Further, it is a con stitutional amendment, and if adopted would be frozen Into the constitution, without any pos sibility of correction or appeal by the legislature when it was discovered it was doing great in jury to the state. We vote 317 X NO. News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 The hoopla cam paign speeches of bolting Senator Ball are relating that Mr. Roosevelt has taken a strong foreign-policy and Dewey a weak one, but this generalization does violence to the inner facts -of the matter. Here is the way it happened: Ball, a 39-year-old republican not very widely known, became identified with a world peace propaganda organization as its senatorial spokes man some years back. The secretary of th peace promotional outfit is Ulric Bell, long a close new deal newsman here, and a worker for the White House. Both Ball and the organi zation represent an extraordinary if not an ex treme viewpoint which has been quite clearly presented. . ... Important Matters THE accounts of his bolt neglected to say he submitted three questions to both Roose velt and Dewey, according to his own story. These questions represented what he considered the important matters of the hour. (1) The world organization should be set up before the peace is signed; (3) No .reservations should be permitted, and (3) The United States agent on the big four council should have the power to order the use of American troops without the consent of congress, or possibly even of the president (the latter aspect has not been mentioned). Ball says both Dewey and Roosevelt an swered the first questions satisfactorily to him. As a matter of fact they did so publicly, and not' in connection with the Ball inquiry, which Mr. R. shunted aside at a press conference as "premature." - But a few days later in his foreign policy speech, Mr. Roosevelt advocated the use of war power by the United States agent on the council, saying it would take too long In these days of undeclared wars to get congressional consent. Pierced Unity . SO BALL aggressively pierced the unity on foreign policy between the republicans and democratic leadership to raise an issue which certainly transcends the importance of his bolt. (He has no personal political following of im portance in Minnesota, where the prevailing Stassen organization, of which he was a member, :is saying that "Ball got the big head.") -The question then is not whether there shall be a weak or strong foreign policy, or any other question than whether an American diplo mat shall have the unrestrained power to de clare war. That is an issue which might wall have been delayed for settlement after this campaign is over. It was pressed into this campaign not by Iso lationists or fascists or disruptionists, but by Ball and his organization. Obviously they do not want unity on foreign policy unless it be unity behind them on the third point. The only issue then is: "Shall the United States agent on the peace board declare war?" It seems to me that the question could have been resolved amicably and satisfactorily with' . out disturbing the unity which State Secretary Hull and Dewey have worked so long and hard to preserve. . The, constitution gives the power of de claring war to the representatives of the people in congress, and the constitution can not be amended by a majority of congress. Ratification by three-fourths of the states would be necessary. a long and in this case needless procedure, Ways could be found to prevent the agent from getting the country involved wrongly or sta pldly.- But whatever way is found it must be in conformance with the constitution. ' Thus suddenly it now becomes clear the iso lationists are not the only ones who could wreck the peace. A stubborn, persistent stand by Inter national extremists for an unwise or unconstitu tional method could bring the same unhappy and unrequired result.

Soldiers' Wives and Returning Husbands You may have seen in the papers where a writer cautioned Army wives that their returning hus bands would be "strangers" to them-because they've been through experiences that their, wives could never share. Welt, a high-ranking officer wrote an answer to that; he called It nonsense. "What do our men want most? To finish the War and come borne What are they fighting for?...for every thing the word home means.' Of course, the word "home" means something different to every fighting man. For home la a lot of little thiijgs! A garden or a work bench-well-thumbed books ... a mellow glass of beer with friends. Bnt whatever they are, It's the memory of theso small familiar things that he takes -with him into battle. And it's theso llttlo things that link his thoughts to home and to the familiar life that he looks forward to return intr Ia. No. 100 of a Seria Copyright Wt Brewing Indatlry Foundation mr.'.
