Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
rHIS column has recommended defeat of the
gross income tax annuity bill to be on the
ballot November 7.
For further discussion, we arc republishing
'today an editorial from the forthright Salem
''Capital-Journal. Here it is:
, "With 150,000 eligible voters
Jin the state standing to bene
fit personally by its enactment
(and probably twice that many
more to be relieved of de
pendency burdens, Oregon is
i facing a really serious threat
Jof being saddled with the most
vicious piece of legislation
ever proposed here when the
people go to the polls on No
vember 7. Unless there is a
(Widespread awakening to its EPLEY
'disastrous potentialities between now and elec
Jtion day, there is real danger that the so-called
"Little Townsend" plan providing 560 every
J month to all persons over 60 years and certain
i others will be written into the state constitu
lion. "It doesn't lake a wizard at figures to reason
J that out. For there are more than 150,000 men
.and women in Oregon who have reached or
J passed their 60th birthday, and it is a safe guess
'that their sons, daughters or other relatives
liable wholly or in part for the support of these
J aged number at least 300,000 a total of 450,000
prospective beneficiaries of the plan. If only
half of these (225,000) vote for the scheme, it
twill be sufficient to put it over.
. e
t
fMany Things Wrong
, 1 1 THERE are so many things wrong with the
' proposal and so few, if any, things right
about it that it can safely be classified as all
wrong starting with its authorization of a mul
' tiple sales tax disguised as a gross income levy
of not less than 3 nor more than 5 per cent.
It would apply to wages as well as income from
t business transactions and all other sources, in
eluding insurance payments or other annuities,
dividends and even gifts without any deduc
tions. i "Estimated to raise $60 million a year on a
J levy of 3 per cent, the plan would add just
, that much to the cost of doing business in the
state and boost the price of commodities and
, services in an equal amount. The day laborer
would have another 3 per cent withheld from
. his pay check,-and would be compelled to pay
as much as 15 per cent more for things he has
, to buy, depending upon the article and the
number of processes through which it passes
J before he buys it from his retail dealer. On a
r package of Oregon prunes he would pay an
r additional 3 per cent each to the grower, the
packer, the broker, the wholesaler and the re
J tailer.
; "For toe Oregon farmer or manufacturer pro
J ducing Items in competition with those from
, other states the tax would be ruinous. With
J 3 per cent added to the cost of their products
at each step on their way to the ultimate con
; aumer, they would be frozen out of their own
, market by out-of-state goods subjected to the
tax only at the retail level.
: ...
; Benefits?
"A 8 for the benef5 the plan, if they
' can be called such, the amendment would
. provide pensions of not less than $60 a month
for all persons over 60 years, regardless of need
, the same amount for retired bankers with an
Income of $50,000 a year from investments as
, for a penniless widow or crippled pauper.
"Tha only condition attached to eligibility for
J the dole is that the pensioner shall refrain from
. active participation in any business or other
J gainful occupation and shall spend his entire
! ST15,10," each month- To get the $60 a month
J the laborer who has no savings or other Income
, must give up his job and live, on the $2 a day
he receives from the state. But the retired

News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 Dear Mr. FMO:
You are in the confused condition of a
great many Americans almost on the eve of
election.
You say you and your doctor friend have tried
to think out the issues conscientiously and have
reached this conclusion:
The republicans and Senator Lodge sabotaged
the League of Nations and ruined the peace
hopes of the world for which they can never
be forgiven, while Mr. Roosevelt has conducted
a well-managed war and curbed inflation, so
even though you distrust him completely on do
mestic policies you are compelled by your rea
soning to vote for him.
The truth of the matter is easily demonstrated
and beyond genuine doubts:
Lodge is dead, and so is the issue of the
League of Nations as far as this campaign is
concerned.
You have been duped by what you have
read and a moment of sincere consideration
should straighten you out. The Dumbarton
Oaks formula for post-war is basically the Lea
gue of Nations, nothing else. Governor Dewey
not only approves those conclusions without
reservations, he collaborated in the result.
Not Debatable
FORTUNATELY, or unfortunately then, the
league idea of world leadership is not even
debatable in the presidential race.
I know men of superior integrity (including
Arthur Krock, of the Internationalist New York
Times, supporting Roosevelt) who believe the
league notion will be furthered more by Dewey
than by Roosevelt, because Dewey can expect
collaboration from congress, whereas Roosevelt
has had a social war going on with the leaders
of his own party in congress.
You have been misled not only into fighting
ghosts but the wrong ghosts. If defeat of the
league was a republican sin, Roosevelt adopted
the sin and lived happily with it for 20 years.
Dewey was about 20 years old, I judge, at
the time of the league fight. Although Mr.
Roosevelt ran shortly thereafter as a vice presi
dential candidate unsuccessfully, in favor of
the league, that experience turned him against
it, and he pursued a changed course throughout
his administration up to Dumbarton Oaks.
Furthermore the Oaks-league formula does
not represent Mr. Roosevelt's first choice for a
world program, in my opinion. What he
wanted, I think; was not primarily a league
but the four freedoms for a world remade under
his auspices and in this I think he has been
defeated first by Mr. Churchill's arguments and
then by Mr. Stalin's conquests.
I doubt that even he inwardly shares your
supreme confidence in the league formula
which, in my opinion, cannot be any better than
the intentions of Russia or the United States
at any given time in the future.
.
Feel Safer
XAHETHER we have, peace, war, or what,
VV will depend on what these countries do
within or without a league, and I would feel
safer with Dewey doing it than with Mr. R
reforming everyone unsuccessfully.
In any event, history pulls all hopes out
under your position. Indeed, you can find no
argument to sustain yourself unless it would
be one you mentioned:
"Look at some of the people supporting
Dewey."
You really should have something done to
your eyes. Haven't you seen the crowd around
Roosevelt, the Kellys, Hagues, Crumps, Hill
mans, Browders, etc? No one seems to be
speaking for Mr. R. except those who expect
10 gei sometning out ot turn.
It is only natural that special privilege seek
ers from government have rallied to the presj.
dent, a former reformer himself. What better
cover could they get for their operations than
to support an ex-liberal.
This enables them to beat their breasts with
their right hand for the common man, while
applying glue to their left hand for handling
me results or tne spending theory and the
great government regulation Dowers.
You say Mr. Roosevelt has conducted a well-
managed war and curbed inflation. We will
have to delay consideration of both points until
after the war. Inflation lies ahead and so docs
an objective understanding of the conduct of the
war a non-debatable subject anyway, as Dewey
publicly supports the military leadership.
Yours sincerely,
PAUL MALLON.

November skies, proverbially
cloud-covered, sometimes break
their gloom and permit us to
look into the infinitudes of the
great open spaces where dwell
the "everlasting stars." When
opportunity affords early this
coming month, let us note the
more prominent celestial ob
jects. The brilliant planet Vonus Is
now setting about 1 hours
after the sun so must be looked
for in the southwest in the deep
ening twilight. Although this
goaaess ot love and beauty is
the brightest star-like object in
the sky. she is not yet in a lo
cation to present her greatest
splendor, a pleasurable antici
pation for early next spring.
Dipper Holds Water
Around 7:30 p. m. we find
the bright star Altair very high
in the sky a little west of south.
Orange Arcturus is sparkling
near the horizon considerably
north of west. Our old stand
by, the Big Dipper, is now right
side up holding water some
what west of north.
Swinging around through the
north we find yellow Capclla

In ancient legend Orpheus
was the great musician who
played so charmingly that birds
ceased their singing and water
falls forgot to break into spray.
After the death of his beloved
wife Eurydice and his unsuc
cessful attempt to get her back
from the Land of Shades, he
lived a sad and lonely life. He
spurned the love making of tho
Thracian maidens. In anger,
they hurled stones and javelins
at him but so marvelous was the
music of his harp that these
missiles stopped in mid-elr and
fell to the ground. But the
maidens finally outwitted and
killed Orpheus when thev
screamed so loudly that his
music was not heard.
The Harp of Orpheus, laler
found floating on the river He
brus, was carried by the Muses
to the skies where we still may
see it.
