CONCENTRATED WEALTH.

The personal income-tax, levied
against a few wealthy residents of a
few large cities, yielded. in the first
two years of its operation. a little over
seventy million dollars. or abou. six
per cent Of the governments total
revenue. The official report on the in
come-tax reveals surprising concen-
tration of personal wealth among the
citizens of the nation. Returns for
the first year of its operation repre-
sented three hundred and fifty thou
sand incomes. half of which were held
in four states. New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts and Illinois.
Nearly thirteen thousand ineome-tax
payers who were assessed on fortunes
ranging from twenty thousand to one
hundred thousand dollars livel in
these four states. and the remainder.
or eight thousand. were distributed
throughout the country. In addition
10 a large number in the four states
mentioned there were five hundred in
cores of more than one hundred thou
sand dollars in the United States. In
North and South Dakota and North
and South Carolina, represent tive of
the nation outside the four wealthy
states, there were fourteen hundrei
incomes of from three TO four thou.
sand dollars. the lowest taxable sum.

THE FOOL AND OUR
FOREST DOLLARS


E. T. Allen.
Goodby to the fool with the empty
gun;
Forgotten his bid for fame.
Though he kills his friend. it only
counts one,
And that, nowadays, it's tame.
The fool who playfully rocks the boat
Is on the front page no more.
He may rank high with the fools
ahoat,
But his glory is gone ashore.
There the fool with women. the fool
with wine.
And the fool who games with stran-
gers,
And the ioy-ride fool Che does well in
his line
By combining these ancient dangers) Il.
But they're all still down in the prim-
er class.
Mere noviees taking a flyer.
Compared. with the prize-taking Grim
inal ass,
The fool in the woods with fire.
A few hearts break for the deeds
they've done
In their pitiful amateur way.
But fire Stays dozens where they slay
one
And seourges a state in a day.
For the ruined home and the smoke
less stack
And the worker unemployed.
Know a hundred years shall never
bring back
The things that his match destroyed.

will not be necessary for western
bankers to go east to borrow in order
to fill the needs of their clients.
The report of the regional system
carries with it a note of economic
cheer, for the system has borne up
well in the south under its initial trial
and gives evidence that it will serve
the rest of the country equally well
when the occasion arises. Even now
it inspires that confidence which is
the greatest foe to panics.

TOURIST TRAVEL.

A high official of one of the leadin|
Atlantic steamship lines estimates
that Europe has lost not less thai
$25,000,000 during the past year OF
account of the stoppage Of American
tourist travel. This apparently is {
very conservative estimate, and others
have estimated this loss at two OF
three times the figure specified. The
difference in such estimates is due tc
natural difficulty in agreeing OF
what portion of foreign travel consti-
tutes "tourist trade" and the fact
it is necessary to guess what the av-
erage tourist spends on his TRIP
abroad. 1t would require only $4,000
American tourists, spending an aver
age of $500 each on their trip, to reach
the $25,000,000 mark estimated by
this steamship official, and some good
authorities believe that both these fig
ures are too small to agree with the
facts.
1t is certain, however, that the stop
page of American tourist travel to
Europe has resulted in large and SER
ious losses to the transportation COM
panies and others which catered to
this trade, and that for some Euro
pean interest this is like the proven
bial last straw that broke the cam
els back. By the same token, how
ever, whatever. Europe loses ON ac-
count of this new condition represents
corresponding gain for this country,
and is an item which eventually will
have a potent effect in spreading and
augmenting the prosperity of this
land. 1t is one of the things which
help to explain the large trade bal
ance in favor of this nation during
the past year, and amounts to an ad-
vantage which will continue so long
as the war lasts. And even after
that it is unlikely that American tour
ist travel to Europe will soon return
to previous figures, for when "tour-
ing America once becomes the fash
ion there will be a lessened tendency
to go abroad, even after transporta-
tion routes are reopened and the Eur
opeans are again ready to welcome
and serve tourists from this country.
1t is far more likely, in fact, that
not only will Americans stay home
after the war, but that a much larger
of foreigners will come to this
for pleasure travel and sight
seeing. Naturally there is little of
this at present, as the people of Eur
Dpean nations have neither the time,
the money. nor the inclination to en-
gage in diversion of this kind. But
after the war ends it is likely that
America, rather than Europe, will
De the mecca of tourists from all parts
IF the world, and that this new ten
lency will materially add to the trade
md wealth of this land, the same as
t has long helped the people of Eur
,pe and given them an advantage
which now has been taken from them

his aim has been to make the prison

1t is stated that the Germans plan
to change the names of many of the
places in sections of Russian Poland
which have been captured from the
Russians. And it is at least to be
hoped that the Germans will not give
them names which will be more un-
pronounceable than the ones they had
before.

PROHIBITION" {"

As the date for "Oregon dry" ap.
proaches there is considerable
amount of discussion over the condi-
tions which will obtain under the new
order of things, the general opinion
prevailing that none will suffer for
want of stimulants. Prohibition that
will not prohibit is resultant from a
law enacted by the last legislature,
contrary to the expressed wish of the
people at the polls, and was, we be-
lieve, an error on the part of that
august body. 1t encourages the man.
ufacture of liquor in other states and
its use in Oregon, not only discrimi-
mating against the distillers and
brewers of our own commonwealth,
but offers inducement to send Oregon
earned money abroad for the enrich
ment of others. An allowance OF
twenty-four bottles of beer and two
quarts of whiskey each twenty-eight
days should be quite sufficient for the
average drinker under any circum-
stances or conditions. The prohibi-
who have labored long and
earnestly as cold water advocates,
will, after the advent of the dawningI
year, be rewarded by enjoying state
wide prohibition in name, while the
topper may continue to tope as usual.
While The Observer is not welded to
their cause, it believes that majority
rule. the fundamental principle of
American government, should prevail.

When the Woman's club resumes
its regular sessions in October the
question of improving the municipal
park will be given consideration by
the Civic section of that organization.
and with the encouragement and aid
of a publie-spirited people it is hoped
that the betterment of this public
playground may be effected. Already
tentative plans for the improvement
are in the making. the successful con-
summation of which can only be
brought about through the united eff
fort of the entire community. Al
though discussion of the question at
this time may seem somewhat pre-
mature. it may be well to prepare for
what is to come.
