PETITTONING FOR LIVING COST BOOST

Petitions are being circulated in
Oregon raising the cost Of living.
OF course, they are not offered to
the prospective signer with this
thought expressed. They are camOu-
fiaged as a proposal for a graduated
tax on chain stores.
The measure copies a Louisiana
law which starts with a tax of $40
per store on two to ten stOr s, and
increases to $3.50 a store on chains
operating more than 500 stores
throughout the entire country.
It would be interesting to know
whether the people.of Oregon would
actually like to drive out of the
state such stores as Penney, Wool
worth, Safeway. Newberry, Piggly

WHY NOT LIMIT GANG PLOW Size?

Farmers, through their represen-
tative national, state and local or
ganizations and their press. are Wig
orously opposing the so-called Train
Length Bill pending before Congress,
according to the Association Of Am
erican Railroads. This bill would
restrict the length Of freight trains
to 20 cars.
Resolutions expressing opposition
to passage Of the meaure have been
adopted by is national farm organi-
cations. 46 state and county farm
bureaus, SO state and county oranges
and So miscellaneous groups inter
ested I'm agriculture. The American
Stock Yards Association describes
the bill as being "unfair TO railroads
and all users of rail transportation.
A recent editorial in The Farmer
Milford chronicle., 1938-04-01

says the bill 'is the first proposal in
the history of America to limit the
size OF the machine which produces
for mankind. -
The bill would greatly increase
the cost Of railroad operation, reduce
efficiency and increase railroad haz-
ards. Il Is as sensclcss piece of
legislation as would be law to re-
dUce the size Of the farmers gang

It would force him to hire more men.

CITY CHIsELERs

More than 100000 residents Of
principal cities are on relief and the
shrewd administrators of these cit
les, headed by Mayor LaGuardia OF
New York. are doing their level best
to switch as much Of the load as
possible onto the Federal Govern
ment.
The Federal Government has a
perfect mania for taking over all the
control that II can digest. and there
fore It submits to the abusive bab-
its that are encouraged by the cit
les.
These same cities have the great
est taxable riches that are to be
found anywhere In the Nation. Still
some of them are among the worst

A well rounded educational and
athletic program Is carried ON the
year around. Glasses are held in
wood working, leather craft, automO-
bile mechanics, drafting, surveying,
photography and many other sub
jects. The camp has had an excellent
basketball season, winning "a out OF
26 gaIaes and garnering the Kent
County League championship and the
kent-Sussex Tournament champion
ship. Baseball. softball. boxing, SOC
Ger, and other sports are carried on
in season.
Due to the fact that there is a
possibility of some camps being
abandoned after June 1st. Il may be
the last opportunity TO participate in
the Opcn-house celebration. Il is
hoped that the public will take adj
vantage Of this Invitation to inspect
the camp and work project to see the
facilities provided for caring for u
CCC company and the methods used
in ditching marshes. Guides will be
provided to conduct visitors through
the camp and parties will be ar

Wiggly, Kress, etc., that have given
the public a wide selection of mer-
chandise and groceries at the low
est possible cost; or would they like
to put a "class" tax on such stores
that would force them to increase
prices paid by the consumer? Is it in
the interest of the people Of any
state to arbitrarily and by punitive
legislation and taxation. destroy le-
gitimate competition that furnishes
variety to the consumer in products
and prices?
Why not call such unfair class
taxation as this by its right name
drive to penalize efficiency. raise
the cost of living, and soak the con-
sumer?
