A MOST UNJUST TAX

The special five per cent excise
tax on candy above all other taxation
is one OF the sore spots stlll remain
ing as a result of hasty and ill-consid-
cred war time legislation.
The war proved candy manufac-
ture to be an essential industry and
taxing II as a non essential is most
unjust. This tax acts indirectly on
the beet sugar industry and the farm
ers raising beets as II tends to re-
duce the sugar consumption at a
time when II Is highly essential we
build up the industry IL Is a direct
tax on every child in the land who
buys a penny's worth of candy.

LUMBER INDUSTRY AS

was 42,9O7,574 feet more than in
1917. At an average wholesale val
ne OF $40 thousand. the Portland
1918 lumber It amounted to s12.-
100000 OF which nearly $4,000, 900
went TO !abor in logging camps and
sawmi,lJ or in transportation and
other industries incident to lumber
manufacture.

state but II illustrates what industry
means to community.
The mines, the oil industry, the su-
gar industry and similar basic in

which they operate.
A blind man should be able to see
that we all depend on prosperous
industries for our individual pros

Is this more forcefully illustrated
than in the Pacific coast states
where thel umber and logging indus
tries employ tens OF thousands Of
men and are the largest employers
OF labor.

as this should realize to what an ex-
tent their bread and butter depends

vocate and demand policies favorable
