THE POOR PAY MOST

n HE French have a very
W equitable way of raising
their war revenue. 1t
was recently defended in the
chamber of deputies by NJ. Ri
bot who asserted that the poor
.er classes in France are una
ware of the war, in a financial
sense.
Only an income of $1,000 a
year and upward feels the
weight, if the recipient is un-
married; and $500 if he is
married.
Moreover, each child up to
the fifth is entitled to $3.50. and
beyond the fifth to $500, with
cut taxation.
A father of five children
may have an income of S24O0
without paying one cent to the
state.
The burden lies entirely up
on those whose income is above
the wage rate, and is only
slight on the lower graduations
of even aSSeSSable incomes. the
minimum being .04 per cent
and the maximum Ton over
S5000) 2 per cent.
In reply to the Socialist Sau.
celle, NJ. Ribot stated that this
burden would not finally be
borne by the poorer elements,
because from the nature of the
law no commodities are taxed.
for which the poor might have
to pay relatively higher
price; but upon incomes and
actual possessions.
In trying to save poor peo-
pie from the financial burden
Of the war the French are
right. Yet after all the real
burden of war is carried by the
poor. The bulk of the fight
ing is done by poor men; the
men of big incomes generally
being too old for service. When
a poor man is killed in the war
the sacrifice by his family is
greater than would be that
family's sacrifice were he rich.
His earning power dies with
him. Were he rich it would
live after him and continue to
his loved ones. So the
poor man pays the heavier
toll.
Try as country may to equ-
alize the burden Of war, the
chief burden will forever rest
upon the men and women of
slender means.

THE ASTORIA RATE DE
CISION

~ HE decision Of the inter-
VI state commerce commits
sion giving parity rates
to Astoria is one of the biggest
events of the sort in recent
years. The people who have
worked so hard to secure this
step are to be congratulated.
Though nominally in the name
Of Astoria the move was initi-
ated by the Portland Journal
and J. n. Teal on the theory
that in this instance the inter-
ests of Astoria are identical
with the interests Of the whole
Columbia basin.
In granting Astoria the same
rate enjoyed by Seattle and
Tacoma the commission based
its decision on consideration
OF service cost. Since the eX-
pense Of haul from the lnterl-
or to Astoria is no greater than
the expense Of haul to Seattle
a higher rate is unjust and So
Astoria is given the same rate
as the sound cities.
Invoking this same principle
il will be logical for Portland
to set up a claim for an even
lower rate than Astoria gets
because Portland is 100 miles
closer than Astoria to this ter
ritory. The logic in the Port
land claim will be sound and
that their contention must be
granted in time seems newt
able if rates are to be estab-
lished on a basis Of justice. A
peculiar feature Of the com
missions ruling in the Astoria
case is the intimation that
Portland will not necessarily
be entitled to a lower rate than
Astoria and Seattle. If the
principle of the cost Of service
is applicable to one town why
not to another?
If Portland cannot secure re-
lief through the commission it
j. possible the Columbia river
may be brought into use. In
the past Astoria has been urg-
ing the use of the river and ac-
tive preparations were under
way to establish a municipal
boat line. Having secured d
common point rate Astoria
may now give up such a line
OF action, while Portlanders
may see the necessity Of using
the river to get under the As
toriA rate.
II is going to be very inter-
esting to watch the results Of
the commerce commissions de-
cision. The decision affects
only interstate business.

THIS MA Y ENTERTAIN
THE MILKMAN'S VIEW.

Everyone who goes to Niagara,
says novelist who has recently
come to America, hears some absurd
ridiculous and inept remark there.
You stand and gaze at the falls, pro-
foundly moved, and then, of a sud
den, something is said, and the effect
of the grandeur goes forever.
The day I first saw Niagara a man
touched my arm as l looked up at
those white waters. I turned to him,
He had the smile of a confirmed jok-
er.
1t seems a shame he said, TO
see all this going to waste

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
William Allen White in Harper's,

Our papers, our little country papers,
seem drab and miserably provincial to
strangers; yet we who read them read in
their lines the sweet, intimate story of
life. And all these touches of nature
make us wondrous kind. 1t is the country
newspaper, bringing together daily the
threads of the towns life, weaving them
into something rich and strange, and
setting the pattern as it weaves, direct
ing the loom. and giving the cloth its
color by mixing the lives of all the people
in its coor-pot-it is this country news
paper that reveals US to ourselves, that
keeps our country hearts quick and our
country minds open and our country faith
strong.
Therefore, men and brethren, when
you are riding through this vale of tears
upon the California Limited, and by
chance pick up the little country news
paper with its meager telegraph service
of three or four thousand words-or. at
best. fifteen Or twenty thousand; when
you see its array of countryside items,
its interminabe local stories, its tire
some editorials on the waterworks, the
schools, the street railroad, the crops
and the city printing, don't throw down
the contemplate little rag with the yer.
dict that there is nothing in it. But know
this, and know it WELL If you could take
the clay from your eyes and read the lit
tie paper as it is written, you Wo uld find
all of Gods beautiful sorrowing, strug
Cling, aspiring world in it, and what you
saw would make you touch the little pa
per with reverent hands.
