What Other Editors Say PRESIDENT DASHES HOPES OF OLD AGE PENSIONERS RAY D. FISHER, Editor and Publisher THE SALES TAX BOBS UP AGAIN The sales tax, though dead as Banquo, still persists in rising from its grave to plague the tax-dreading public. Three times in a little over a year has it been buried, and plenty deep at that—once when it was proposed for benefit of state finances, once as a means of school re lief, and last as an unwanted guest who might sneak in the back door that would have been left open if the tax limitation measure had been adopted, Now comes a proposition to levy a sales tax for a fund wherewith to start an exposition celebrating the completion of the Bon- neville dam. It is more than likely that if the last suggestion gets as far as achieving a place on the ballot the sales tax ghost will be whisked away into the grave again and heaps of dirt tamped energetically on top of the coffin. ----------- §—§—§----------- Our esteemed contemporary, the st. Helens Sentinel-Mist, is a bit piqued be- cause the county court continues the cus tom of awarding the publication of the tax sale list to each of the four county newspapers in succession instead of con fining it to the one with the largest cir culation and payroll. The county court, however, is to be commended for its fair ness in not yielding to the dictum, too of ten followed in general practice, that the big fellow should have all of the business all of the time and the little fellow none of the business any of the time. ----------- §—5—§----------- Great is the consternation in Holly wood! A California court has decided the divorces obtained in Mexico are not valid “I do not know whether this is the time for any federal legislation of old age security,” said President Roosevelt in an address last Wenesday to delegates to the national conference on economic security. “Organizations promoting fantastic schemes have aroused hopes which can not possibly be fulfilled.” “Through their activities they have increased the difficulties of getting sound legislation; but I hope that in time we may be able to provide security for the aged—a sound and uniform system which will provide true security,” said Mr. Roose velt. The editor of this newspaper has cconsistently warned its readers against building up too high hopes with reference to the getting of a high schedule of monthly payments under an old age pfin- sion scheme. The soundness of these warnings is born out by the utterances of President Roosevelt last week, as he was quoted by the Associated Press reports. Let this editor state again that he would be the first to welcome a sound system of old age pensions by the Federal Government. But the writing of legisla tion for such a pension system must be by the President and his advisers, and by the National Congress. Of necessity they will adopt a scheme that is economically sound and workable. The recent meetings throughout the nation may have been a good thing in that they have shown the strength of public sentiment for an old age pension system. But it is a mistake to expect too much; and it may well be a matter of years before such a scheme can be worked out, as Mr. Roosevelt seems to intimate. —John Day Valley Ranger. mon, “The Plan and Life of the during the week.
