Today's Roundup
; By MALCOLM SPLEY
a CE BUSH If dead. 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.

wrote an answer to that; he
called It nonsense. "What do our
