HIS ARGUMENT FALLACI0US

Mr. B. F. Irvine associate editor Of the Portland
Evening Journal is a strong believer in the commission
form of government and presented his views on the sub
ect in an address before the Oregon Civic League OF his
city recently.
While there much in his argument that is unanswer
able but as generally the where strong partisan
comes out in its advocacy the partisan rges to protect
the weak joints in his position Without going into the
merits or demerts of the commission form of govern
ment the figures show that the commission form is cost
ing the city of Portland more than the old councmanic
system. When the system adopted it was promised
the plan would save the city million dollars year.
Instead of that whether due to the commission form or
otherwise the cost of running the city has been increased
about that amount.
Mr. Irvine also makes the catch phrase that "The
real question s what do you get for what you pay for
government That is pertinent question, but it is far
from being the real question: for it inmates that no
matter what the cost if the people get their moneys
worth it all right and necessarily good government
The fact that the people may not be able to stand this
expenditure is entirely overlooked
1t is much the same would be to say that family
with barely income enough to pay its living expenses
would be justified in going in debt for $500 piano. pro-
Vded the piano really worth that sum- There such
thing as getting too much good government and while
conditions may have been betteed under the commission
form it looks as though Portland had gotten entirely too
much of good thing
However Portland is far from being lonesome in this
regard There is hardly city or town in the state or
for that matter the coast where the tax burden has
not grown almost unbearable load In fact in most
of hem the tax rate about equal to the interest rate
the government pays on its bonds.
This acts as double grievance to most communities
for while it is burden to the property owner 1t fright
ems away capital that would build factories and naugur
ate pay rolls for it is too great handicap to carry
Commission form of government may be better than the
councmanc FORM but unless expenses can be kept down
and taxes within reasonable limits some still newer-or
oder-system will have to be tried.

FOLLOW UP THE FLAX CROP

Some two years ago the Capital Journal discussed
the fax growing proposition at length and it in
large part due to this agitation that the state was in
duced to arrange for giving it thorough test. The
growing part has been tried out and proved eminenty
satisfactory Now the getting the crop into fiber is the
next step and this is well under way.
The Capital Journal believes as it did two years
ago that this crop destined to make the valley famous.
Under the management of Eugene Bosse the growing of
flax and the manufacturing of its products tried here
but unfortunately the plant destroyed by fire. 1t
perhaps mistake to undertake to manufacture flax
products here with small capital and this mistake should
should be followed closely by the Commercial Club and
samples of the fiber should be sent by it. with descriptive
matter as to the ability of the Willamette Valley to grow
flax to the big firms using flax fiber in their fac
tories Once convinced that furnish the fiber in
unlimited quantities and they will furnish all the capital
needed, and build plants here.
