He has done Just this thing in a de

disappointment. West Nirginia's

her usual standard. There was not

JUDGE LANDS.

In the old days when a ball
player was fined tor getting obs
treperous in a world series game,
the athletes had a set phrase to
express their disgust ut the action
OF the National Commission.
"a couple more cases Of wine
for the commission" was the
stereotyped expression the UNI
pires would be forced to listen to
throughout the game. II you would
take the word Of the players, the
National Commission did not favor
prohibition
Ir the recent series between the
Giants and Yankees. Catcher Earl
Smith Of the Giants vas fined $500
by Judge Lands for his actions In
the second game Of the series. II
was in the second game that Smith
got into trouble With Umpire Nor
larty and player Bob Meusel OF
the Yankees.
Since the National Commission
no longer exists, and the players
no longer can ease their feelings
announcing how much win their
fine would buy the commission. it
became necessary for Smith to I'M
earth q new way to get rid OF his
pent up wrath.
Now Judge Lands. with his $780,
900 a year salary. will probably
never need financial assistance.
However, there Is feature OF
the judges dress at tho series
that failed to make a hit with
Catcher Smith OF the Giants. The
Judge affects a slouch hat that is
never creased tho same way.
After winning the third game
Of the series. the Giants were
making merry In tho club house.
Smith was being much kidded Tor
drawing a 5000 fine. After taking
most of the joshtng in silence,
Smith drew a big laugh wehn he
remarked from the showers:
'Tf Judge Landis just buys a
new hat with part Of it, won't
feel so bad"

to impose this new tax on those

The office-holders and profes-

much more money to portion out
to the beneficiaries of legislative
machinery, and the amount de-
manded by the state machine in

iasm shown during the day was
brought forth by the appearance
of General Ludendorff, and the
outburst on that occasion was but
slight. The band which played

besides 1t would soak so-cailed bic
business.
But one fact remains: Taxes ars
now so high in Oregon that very
few persons are Investing theii
money In property. business or in
dustries. Those who come from
other states and discover that our
rates of taxation in many cities
and counties pass 5 per cent are
slow to invest.
So IL the state is to develop nor
mally in population and wealth
the slogan must be tax reduction
and not tax expansion. That is
the cry in all western states and
there is no escaping the responsi-
bility in Oregon. We have got to
cut the tax rates or quit paying
boosters.
Here are few simple PROPOSE
tions that must be carried into eff
feet:
First--city. school district,
county and state budgets must be
made up by those who pay the
bills instead of those who run the
bills and get the proceeds of the
budget. In ten counties blanket
salary bills raising county salar-
les by the legislature were voted
down ON referendum. In Portland,
Salem and other places school bud
gets made up by those who get
and spend the money were voted
down.
Second-The legislature must
stop wholesale enactment OF new
laws, most OF which impose new
taxes or additional expense and
permanent fixed charges upon the
property owners and business peo-
pie of the state, and even upon
citizens who own nothing and
have no business. The last legis-
lature enacted over 400 new laws
and resolutions, most of them
carrying new charges against Mr.
Taxpayer Could single canii
date be elected to the legislature
il he made it his platform to en-
act 400 such new laws? Not one.
Yet they do It in spite of promises
to retrench and not enact so many
new laws.
Third-No salaries should be
raised during the term of an in
cumbent,s office. This is COM
mon principle OF the constitution
but is violated by general consent |
and common practice, and should
be stopped.
Fourth---Like county offices, !
state offices and departments
should all be made to earn money :
for the taxpayers instead of de-
constantly larger appro-
priations from the state treasury
Those who transact business with
state departments should be COM
PEELED to pay for the service. 1t is

an advantage to th2 rsfson get
ting the service an,t Why sbeaId
they not pay for ii? Il il prlp-
ciDie Of court practice that liti-
gants must pay the costs oflitiga-
tion. Some of the state fepart-
ments are self-sustainiug and some
earn large sums for the state and
there is no reason why all depart
ments and all state offices should
not be set to work earning money
for the citizens who support gov
ernment and schools instead OF
uniting to raid The taxpayer

through the demands they MAKE

through the demands they MAKE
OF the legislature.
Fifth - County government
should be established on the short
ballot principle-electing only the
three county commissioners and
the clerk and sheriff. 1'he rest OF
the county employees should he en-
ployed by the county commission
ers for their special ability TO per-
form the service. The three coun-
ty commissioners are subject to the
recall and then it would be posi-
BILE to locate responsibility for an
extrayagant county government.
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1921-08-26

These ideas are not new rit
they are practical and good sound
business propositions. Finally the
election laws should be amended
to provide that when at the pri-
mary a candidate has d clear ma
jorfty of all votes ca 1t. he shall be
declared elected and not be subject
to the further expense Of another
election. That is done by the city
OF Salem and works well.
