For Patriots Who Think

We doubt if the average citizen
realizes the tremendous growth that
the Boy Scout movement has made
in America Of recent years.
Do you know that there are sep
enteen thousand, seven hundred
troops Of Boy Scouts in this country,
50 that there is not city and hardly
a town or village without one or two
troops?
And do you realize that the num-
Der Of uniformed Boy Scouts in good
standing in those troops is now well
over four hundred thousand?
Wherever you find Boy Scout
YOU also find a manly, reliable, self
reliant boy who is anxious to do good
deeds in this world. Judge Daniel
| B. Trude, of Chicago, says that OF
! the thousands Of boys who have been
brought into his court, not one has
been a Scout. Juvenile judges all
over the country make the same re-
port.
Boy Scouts graduate into Amer
ican citizenship in few short years,
and fine citizens they are, most

A Rotten Practice

The big city dailies, the leading
political organs of the nation, have a
habit Of attempting to discredit and
hamper official appointees and elect
ed officers before they take Office
which means before they have any,
thing to criticize that i'll becomes
them as supposedly honest and hon.
orable workers for the general well
fare.
Let a bunch of appointments be
made by the present administration
and the recipients of the pluns are
heralded to the world by the opposi.
ton organs as blackguards Of the
deepest dye. The reader is apt tc
wonder where such a bunch Of in,
competent, irrelevant and immaterial
atoms could be secured in this land
Of the free and the brave.
A cartoon in a recent issue Of the
Oregon Journal is a fair sample oi
the treatment accorded the men who
are to fill important positions. 1t i;
a disgrace to a great newspaper, bu'
does not put the Journal in class BY
itself by long shot. The press or
both sides pursues very similar tao
tics.
The newspaper with the backbone
to 90 after a bad public officer is ar
asset to the country. The one tina
attempts to handicap the public off
GERS by discrediting them and thu
hindering them in their administra
ton, places party politics ahead Of
square deal and the successful oper
alton Of the functions Of the govern
ment. Such actions are narrow mind
ed, small and unpatriotic. Perpetual
ly carrying on a political campaign
a curse to the country.-CeHtral Ore

The Sales Tax

There are many effective argu-
ments, of course, to be urged against
the proposed sales tax. One Of the
strongest is that the poor widow is
thereby mulcted Of part Of the mite
she is compelled to spend TO feed
and clothe her fatherless family.
Nevertheless, the bald fact re-
mains that the nation needs addition
al revenue, and must secure it some
how, somewhere. Any sort of tax is
Objectionable. and the problem be-
comes one Of choosing the least Of
evils.
To us is occurs that the sales tax
has some features to recommend il
as less inequitable than others. For
one thing ii ought to come nearer
than other systems of taxation to tax
ing the citizen in proportion to his
means. The man who is able to
spend FIVE thousand dollars a year
would pay FIVE times the tax of his
neighbor who spends only thousand
dollars. The very poor who can
expend little would pay little. The
prodigal whose principal object in
life is to get rid Of his dollars would
contribute to the government pre-.
MUM on his extravaganza. The
thrifty man would be afforded an ad,
ded incentive for thrift. The spent
dollars would pay the tax, not the
conserved dollars so vital to the
countY's industrial and commercial
welfare.
Ii seems to us that the farmer
ought 10 favor the sales tax, more
especially if it exempts, as in Can
ada, the products Of the farm. The
farmer bears his full burden of STATE
and county taxation by reason OF th'
fact that his land cannot escape tn
assessor. II is more difficult for hin
than almost any other class to evad'
