ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS A qurey in the Portland Oregoni « i s : How d (I Chrietmsy original tn i h »w did it become « ’ holiday? A l h >w did N ew Y ear's become a holiday Answer: * Chris’ ,mas is the festival o f the nativity o f Christ The earliest i leniitication o f December #5 with tl birth of Christ is in a passage written ab iut 180 A..L). Evidence shows that celeb aiions were held on that date In the fourth and fifth Centuries thi churches ordered the day delebraUd in inamory o f I'h ris t’s birth. “ Observance o? the first day o f th year is of an deni origin. Tne Ro mans on this day were accustomed t exchange greetings ard make pres e its The church at the time o f th Caesars made the day a Christian f StlVdl.” Our f e l’ow townsman, D Mac L if-Tty, was ro t sati fi d with thi* a n *e r and replied to the Oregonian as follows: * Replying to Subscriber as to the origin o f Christmas i thir.k you have not fully answered the question W hile December 25. or Christmas, it if called, is universally observed as "th e birth of Christ, yet it is generally co needed that it cannot possibly be the nativity o f our Savior, for it is the the hii<ht o f the rainy (or winter) season in Ju lea, and the sbapherce w >uid hariily be watching their flock» by night in the plains. But as t.hit date is generally accepted as the birth o f the Lord, we naturally enquire how it came about. “ During the early centuries o f the C ristian era, the church, in order L facilitate the conversion o f t it heathen, brought in with them main o f their heathen rites and ceremonies among them the old German yul« festival, celebrating the return o f thi winter solstice, or us they called it. the return o f the great fiery sunwbee on the 25th ot December, a species u su i worship. Thus Chris'ian K m took over Pagan Rune with thi h »then festival i d r» vamped it inti the Gbr'stmas or the Christ mass, nit so we h vo it handed down to u. through the Protestant church#s id today. The observance o f Sunday and Easier came to us from tho same source and in the s imw way. ' T.ue, the Christmas festival very beautiful in Us expression ».no we ail enjoy its g«>od cheer, but i harks b«i k to pagan sm and the dark ages. ‘ This is all a matt, ir o f history, am may be verifi d by anyone who choose* to look up the evidence. “ D MacLAFFRTY.M Early Millionaire finir!

Governor Has Finance Program— Spill Session Proposed— Old Ape Pension Bill Introduced— May Abolish Vot ers’ Primary Pamphlet— Would Re establish Poll Tax. Salem. — When the legislature assembled for the fourth week of the session there was little to Us credit In the way o f important measures passed up to the governor for his sig nature aside from the bills turning over the management of the peniten tiary to the state board of control. Apparently the question which over- shadows all others is that of taxation Although a number of revenue bills have been introduced no concrete pro- gram affecting tho state’s finances has been evolved. Among the important revenue measures before the house are those providing for a tax on cor porate excess; a 5 mills tax on intan gibles— money and credits; for read justments of assessments on proper- ty; the “ tithing bill" taking 5 per cent of the gross revenue of money making boards and departments, and three in* come tax bills. Representatives of the public utili- ties and farmers conferred in Salem last week in an effort to solve the tax- ation problem, and a committee was appointed consisting of Earl Fisher, state tax commissioner; R. A. Shum- way, representing agriculture, and John A. Laing, representing the utili ties. Submits Finance Program Governor Patterson took a hand in the matter last week when he an nounced that he would send a special message to the legislature submitting a finance program for their approval, It was the general belief when the governor made his announcement that he favored a tax on intangibles, a cor- porate excess tax, a motion picture ta l an(j {jlvertlng a percentage of the money collected by boards and com- mi9si0ns tj,e general fund.

Would Create District Courts Following a compromise reached between members of the house seek ing and opposing an increase in the salary of circuit judges from $4000 to $6000 a year, the house by a vote of 40 to 17 passed a bill providing for a salary of $5000. The house indefinitely postponed Representative Swan’s resolution pro viding that no bills increasing salar ies during the incumbency of the of ficial be considered. Governor Patterson, during his in augural message, insisted that the salaries o f public officials ought not to be inereasSd during the terms for which they had been elected. Creation of district courts in coun tfes of more than 1500 and of less than 100,000 population is proposed in a bill introduced in the senate. The court would consist of not less than ona j Uoge, to be elected for a term of 8ix y earg An olti.age pension bill introduced in the house provides that the pen sioner must be at least 65 years old and without any Income or property, directly or indirectly; must have been a resident of the United States for at lea8t 15 years and 0f Oregon for 10 years. A resolution introduced in the sen- ate authorizes the election of a lieu- tenant-governor who would serve as president of the state senate. He would receive compensation at the rate of $15 a day while serving in this ca- pacity. Free Counties From Road Costs a state song, "Oregon, My Oregon.” would be adopted officially under a resolution offered by Senator Butler. Counties through which state high ways pass would be relieved of all expense in connection with construc tion or maintenance of the same if a bill introduced into the senate as a roads and highways committee bill is enacted by law. In two bills passed by the Benate counties are relieved from any ex- pense connected with the construction of bridges and overhead and under- grade crossings on state highways, The house committee on roads and IN T H E C IR C U IT C O U R T OF TME S T A T E OF OREGON FOR M a L- HEUK COUNTY, Eleanor Park, Plaintiff, ve.
