A FEW WORDS ABOUT TAXES

When coming before the public to get some grant
franchise concession almost every public utility
pany as It's first and most potent argument calls aten
ton to the fact that ii is heavy taxpayer In doing it
is probable the c0mpanyS acting good faith and the
officials actually believe they are real taxpayers
As matter Of fact most Of these companies are not
taxpayers at ALL They are tax gatherers from other
people assembling the money for the state city county,
and turning it over to the proper officials. That is all
they do in the way Of paying taxes general thing
The Southern Pacific really pays taxes its lands
(when it pays) but its road bed rolling stock and
material it pays not cent. Neither does the Oregon
Electric the Portland Railway, Light Power Company
the Salem Water Company. We mention these because
all of us know these companies. But they not
alone Every other public utility company is in the
boat
Each Of these companies in establishing its rates takes
into consideration the of its plant road its Oper
atng expenses and deterioration Each of them esti-
mates the amount Of revenue it must have meet the
taxes charged against it, its operating expenses and inter-
est Then it fixes rates TO suit conditions subject only
such restrictions the federal or state public utilities or
railroad commissions place them. The operating eX
penes must be borne by the public and the taxes paid by
it, else the companies would go broke. The companies
collect from their patrons enough to operation
deterioration and taxes addition to dividends and they
simply turn over the amount they collect for taxes or
part Of it, to the proper authorities
1t is of piece with the tariff The importer pays it
when the goods enter the country but he does not neglect
to add this charge to the cost and pass along the
consumer who ultimately pays the tax. 1t is with the
big companies They pay over certain sums in the way
of taxes but the consumer the man who travels the
road the goods products hauled it evenu
ally pays the entire tax The railroad collects it in its
bills and the merchant necessarily adds the cost of freight
to his goods and the consumer finally pays the whole
business, taxes and all

SHIPS BADLY NEEDED

The passage Of some kind Of ship purchase or ship
building bill has become necessity. Secretary McAdOO
shows that for the of the navy in time Of war least
400 merchant steamers would be needed as auxilares
This means tonnage of 1,172,OOO according TO his
figures and there is not that or near that number Of
ships under American registry that would be available
We would have depend foreign ships to act as aux
liaries should we have Private capital viii not
tackle the proposition and looks as though Uncle Samuel
would have to take hold Of the matter.
Another phase Of the matter is that the American
producer at the mercy Of the foreign ship owner Just
now foreign ships carrying Pacific Coast grain to
Europe, and they charging all the traffic viii bear
taking for themselves the advanced prices caused by the
war.
The present rate grain from Portland to Liverpool
is from 90 to 81 shilngs. The latter figure means 63
cents bushe for wheat while the price before the var
was about 20 cents bushe The ship owners are charg
ing 40 cents bushe than before the war; and in
fact taking just that amount from the producer
Wheat is big price in Europe but only about the aver
age price here.
With plenty Of government owned ships this bare
faced hold up could not be carried on and the farmers Of
the coast robbed The government ownership Of big
feet Of steamers seems to be the only solution and this
matter will be brought up before the coming congress

WANT HEALTH IN KITCHENS
New York Cooks, Walters and Dish washers Must Pass Medical
 Tests

The effective segregation of ty- phoid Mary by the health depart ment has stimulated further activity in health protection in the kitchen and dining room. As a corOllary in cident all cooks, walters and dish washers in the hotels and restau- rants must submit to an annual medical examination for licenses to be issued to those who are found to be free from typhoid germs. Among the ninety thousand employees in kitchens and dining rooms two thousand were examined in the first batch, and two were discovered to be typhoid carriers. Twenty suffered from other communicable diseases.
 Although this number may seem negligible, the fact must not be lost sight of that in the 4500 hotels and restaurants of New York millions of meals are taken. and that even a comparatively small number of dis Gse carriers among proverbially careless individuals offers a serious menace to the community. An in stance Of this carelessness was re- ported in the press a few days ago when a woman noticing her waiter was blowing his breath upon the plate he was about to place be- fore her, reported the delinquent to the captain.-New York sun.

COLLEGE WOMEN NOT MOTHERS
Professor Johnson Finds AIumnae Average Less Than One
 Child Each

That there is little hope of con- tinuing the race, if the country is to depend on college women, has haustive investigation conducted by Roswell H. Johnson, professor of biology of the University of Pitts burg. He finds that from all the college girls there is contributed to the race only four-fifths of a child each, while among honor students the rate amounts to only fifth of a child.
 The investigation conducted by Professor Johnson includes the mar riage records of alumnae of Welles- ley. Bryn Mawr, Smith. Vassar. Mount HolyOke and Wilson. Tie number of marriages among the graduates of these institutions reaches on an average only 39 per cent of the total. Sometimes, he discovers that the percentage will increase only to fall remarkably low in other instances Of these who do marry only about one-haIf marry college men.
 The number of children" says Professor Johnson, "whic1 are neces- sary to maintain a stationary popu- lation from these groups should be about 3.7 a woman student
