This is funny old world but there is nothing funner in
it than the Oregonans lamentations the decadence OF
the Democratic party Oregon to which it attributes the
economic and political ills afctng the state Its persistent
abuse and condemnation of all things Democratic and its per-
petual exaaton of all things Republican, and its ecorca-
ton of independents responsible to small decree for
the present situation which it admits is bad
When Oregon had Democrat for governor, and vrie

Of the state.
When Oregon had democrat United States senator
who had served his state and his country with distinction
and than national fame, the Oregonan did its
utmost to accomplish his defeat So with every political
office in the state, held by Republican elected solely be-
cause of his LABEL is refreshing to hear the Oregonan
bemoan the political stagnation of Oregon.

Why Not Il Poll Tax

Before appealing to taxpayers to vote upon
themselves to finance their project the promoters of the
Portland 1925 exposition should show their faith in the
enterprise by raising million two privately. With
this secured they could appeal to the taxpayers with
better However they want the taxpayers to take the
entire risk
If the exposition is to benefit everyone in Oregon
claimed, then everyone should help in the financing This
best be done by poltax, which will work hardship
upon any will not cucumber property raise the tax
levy and will insure the money desired.
Probably only about third of the people pay any
Under the proposed tax levy the burden of financing the
position will fall upon this already overburdened third and
the wothirds who pay taxes will not be contributing
anything.
Instead of putting the proposed mileage tax to the
people to be voted upon that the twothrds who pay
vote upon the other third the proposition
of the poll tax should be submitted If claimed everyone
wants the exposition everyone will vote for the poll tax
If the poll tax fails to carry then will be convincing that
the people do not want the exposon-uness the other
fellow pays for it.
The poll tax is the most equitable of tax it places all
upon the plane and must do his share If the
public finance the fair this is the equitable way to do it.

holding for evolution give 1t "only
provisional assent" That is evo-

Darwin said many years ago
that some of the position taken in
origin of species were highly
speculative" and that they would
turn out to be erroneous. In
this he was very correct, yet he
built his vast structure covering
several hundred pages on these

several systems of evolutions, but
Darwin's is as good as any. IIe

II humanity has come up from
ancestry that far back were non

Recent estimates bring 1t down to
1000 to 10000 years. l refer to

discredited in Germany during The
last ten or fifteen years. Read DR..
