O regon, as Second Class Matter FOR WHOSE RELIEF “who does get the benefit of the sales tax? We repeat: it is the railroads and other public utilities, and very large property owners, who get all their personal property ex empts from taxation. The benefit of 5 1-2 mills on their state is permitted by law to be added to your bill for use of their service. The individual large real estate owner will find his benefit under the sales tax shifted back onto him to make up the deficit in local taxes occuring on account of personal property being exempted from taxation.” The state tax commission represents that the counties will receive a 50-50 division of the proceeds of the sales tax and thus will more than be compensated for the loss of personal property tax. There must be paid first in 1933, the last half of the state property tax, the veterans’ fund, and the fund for relief of the needy. Then the counties will get a 50-50 division of what is left. The counties will get less than before for schools and administration of government. The people will pay more. The big taxpayers will pay less.—The Journal. E. M.

Practice In all Courts OVERGROWN SALARIES Unless high salaries are cut. corpor ations will not be granted loans, says Jesse Jones, head of the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation. The salary of the president of the United States Is only *75,000 a year, and he has ac cepted a cut. Members of the cabinet are paid salaries of only *15,000. And they take a cut. Some of th ecorporations that earlier received R. F. C. loans paid salaries ranging to *100,000 and above. Charles E. Mitchell’s salary was *100,000 a year and after the 1929 stock crash It was made *200,000. Are the services of cor- portion officials worth more than those of the president of the nation? The ruling *of the R. F. C. head is sound to the last degree. To keep the government running, the people are taxed to the limit. They are already overburdened by government costs. Why should they be taxed still more to provide R. F. C. funds to help corpor ations that are paring their officers ex travagant and very much unearned salaries.—Ex. NYSSA, OREGON Dr. E. D.

Independence Day of old was celebrated with reckless abandon. Hundreds of persons of all ages lost their lives playing with fireworks, guns and explosives. Others were drowned or killed in motor accidents. Now, the Fourth j divides catastrophe “honora” with almost any week-end ; except by virtue of the ceaseless efforts of safety organiza tions and accidents and fire prevention workers, it is apt to be a shade safer. This is because people are keyed to its Charges Reasonable ( imminent hazards. They are safety conscious. Last year, on the “morning after,” the Associated Press reported 119 motor vehicle deaths, 90 drownings, 10 fire work fatalities and 26 deaths from other causes—a total POWELL’S SERVICE STATION of 245. This is disgraceful enough, but superior to the Open Day and Night 1931 toll of 354.
