Argentine Tax Plan Watched


In spite of the firmer tone in wheat
tor the last two days, traders are not
entirely satisfied that prices are on
a stable basis, as is indicated by the
feverish price movements i'm the Chi
cago pit Should the supertax on Ar
gentine wheat exports which is being
considered by that governments's legis-
lators be abandoned this year. it IS a
foregone conclusion that European buy-
ers would rush to that market for SUD-
plies until the next harvest. Much of
the recent pressure has been attrib-
uted to the rather widespread belief
chat if such tax is applied this year
it will be light enough to permit Euro
pean purchasing on large scale. No
early action is anticipated, and for that
reason the future price course of wheat
is regarded as highly uncertain.

Canada's Rumanian Commitment

The Rumanian government has de-
taulted in the payment of interest upon
a credit granted the Balkan state bv
the Dominion government, according to
foreign correspondence of The Econo-
mist, of London. After the armistice
q guaranteed credit for $4,000 900 was
placed at the disposal of the Canadian
manufacturers to finance the sale Of
goods to Rumania. Default in the paw
ment of interest already has taken
place, and by next April, when the in
serest again falls due, the arrears. will
amount to approximately s1.5OO. 600.

Other Rail Financing Expected

The rapid absorption Of the Pennsyl-
vania issue was viewed in investment
circles as striking reflection of the
eagerness Of the public appetite for
prime securities. 1t is believed that
the success Of this offering. the first
important piece of railroad bond fnanc-
ing, will be followed by other railroad
issues in the near future. Investment
experts point with satisfaction to the
extraordinary absorptive powers of he
market, which has taken several large
issues since the first OF the year with
out showing any signs Of softening.

Chilean Financing

1t is not impro bable that Chilean
government financing may be the next
important foreign financial commit
ment to be undertaken by New York
bankers. Members of the South Amer
lean banking group held conference
at the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co.. at
which the much discussed Chilean loan
came up for consideration. The Chilean
government has already received au-
thorlzation from its Congress to raise
$25,OOO,00O through the sale of bonds
to provide funds for railway corstruc-
ton and other purposes.

Voting Taxes Is Easy

One more demonstration of how
easy it is under the Oregon System
of Government to vote taxes onto the
taxpayer for the taxpayer to pay if
he can and lose his property if he
cant pay!
Analysis of .the returns from the
Portland ote for the fair tax is eA-
ceedingly impressive. Practically
eleY precinct where no taxpayers
reside went unanimously or almost
unanimously for the fair. The North
End down town precincts as well as
the rooming house and boarding
house precincts were the strongest
for the fair. azz was the keynote Of
the big event prior to the fair cleo
ton, the blowing of norns, the toot-
ing of whistles and the opening of
cutouts. And jazz voted along with
the taxpayers.
We sincerely believe that even
though the fair tax could have been
voted upon by taxpayers only it
would have carried though by a close
majority, for any taxpayers
sake of bringing fair to Portland
the exposition tax not only for the
sage of bringing fair to Portland
in the hope of great material benefits
to come from it but also in the con-
viction that taxation was the fairest
way to spread the financial burden of
holding the fair But no such broad
minded views were held by thous-
ands who voted for the fair tax. 1t
was Jazz, the god of noise and show,
the prospect of great time in 1925,
the supposed glory of Portland at
somebody's else expense, that i'm
PEELED their favorable votes.
To some extent, this was a repe-
tition. Practically all the heavy tax
increases under which the taxpayers
of Oregon and Portland are laboring
have been voted by the people. The
administrative authorities and the
legislatures have not been able un-
der the constitution to vote taxes be-
yond 90 annual increase. But
they have been relieved of respon-
sibiliy under the Oregon System OF
Government, by which the people
rule. Pass the decision along to the
people, that's the dope. The officials
in authority can escape all blame,
The people can vote taxes or not, as
they choose. If the people don't vote

the taxes, nobody can be blamed. If
they do vote them, the taxpayer pays.
And measure after measure increaS-
ing taxes, practically all of our heavy
tax increases, have been voted cheer
fully by the people for the taxpayers
to pay.
The costliest thing the farmers and
homeowners Of Oregon ever did was
the adoption of the Oregon System
of Popular Government whereby it
was made easy to pass tax questions
up to a popular vote and thus escape
official or legislative responsibility.
The people rule. in Oregon, yes, but
their rule is leading to their ruin in
so far as high taxes can contribute
to ruin. The farmers wanted the
Oregon System. They have it and
like Frankenstein, their creation has
turned upon them and voted taxes
upon them beyond their ability to pay
and yet retain decent living profit
from their farming.
Voting taxes onto taxpayers is the
most popular outdoor sport of elec-
ton day in Oregon. And the farm
ers and small homeowners of the
state provided the machinery by
which the increasing of taxes are
made so easy.
No legislature or official body
would have dared increase taxes in
Oregon to the extent to which they
have been increased under the Ore
gon System of Popular Government.

Exhibit of Spider Webs.

Notwithstanding the fact that spider web is so tiA3 and delicate that unless covered with dust or sparkling with dew it is almost invisible, the American Museum of Natural History is now displaying series of these webs, 12 in number, so mounted on dark backgrounds as to be plainly vis- Ible. The spiral construction, widen ing gradually from the center outward, is easily traced. The webs are accom- panied by colored plates of the spiders which spun them. Some spiders live in the web they spin; others spend only the nights there, hiding during the day i'll retreats often some distance away, with a single thread leading to the web. One of the larger spiders, Aranea trifoliuIn, for instance, spins thread from the center of its web to a tent made of leaves and silk.

POET MADE WAR HIS THEME
prised That Masefield Couldn't Spout His Own Verse.

The visit of John Masef1eld, poet and soldier, to Washington recently at tracted the attention of scores of peo- pie who have known him through his tales of the sea and other stories In verse form.
 The auditorium was packed by the hundreds who came to see what a real, live poet looked like. The na- tional capital, in 1918, may claim its full share of sophistication in matters political, but the visit of poet is an- other thing.
 Several years ago Alfred Moves, fel- low Englishman of Masetield, spoke there, and people were delighted to find him simple, frank, good-natured fel- low who had all the earmarks of a successful young business man.
 So this time they wondered what Masefeld would be like. Would he spout yards and yards of poetry from memory2 He was scheduled to read his poems.
 Masefield talked about the war.
 He had been through it, and talked from personal experience. He said scarcely word concerning his poems.
 At the conclusion of his talk some one insisted that he give them several of his poems.
 "Tu have to have a copy" he said, simply.
 Finally, after much search through the audience, one lone copy of the book needed was found.
