the farmers have never used, per-
mits the organization of cooperative
credit societies. The school rc-dis-
tricting law was vigorously defended
by the governor.
Ineom. Tax Explained.
In closing. Governor McKelvie
spoke briefly for the campaign
against extravaganza. He believes
the remedy for the present upward
trnd OF prices is work and save. The
campaign against the profiteer hurt
cnly the farmer, was one of the
parting shots of the governor.
George l.. Loomis, internal revenue
collector for Nebraska, told of the
administration of the income tax
law. He denied some of the state
ments that have been circulated
about the treatment of the farmers.
He said the farmers have been ac-
corded exactly the same treatment
as other men. The attempts of farm
ers and all others to change from
cash to an inventory basis of max
ing income tax returns has brought
difficulty, Mr.. LOOMS said
Former Congressman Dan Steph-
ems of Fremont and M. l.. Corey,
counsel for the Federal Land bank
at Omaha, were among the other
speakers.

Governor McKelvie spoke of the

Sixty-six delegates representing (!
organizations of farmers were called

dogs it had been carried out to the
letter. at is the first time the farm

chance to have their program en-

Can Fix Responsibility.
The governor dwelt on the way
the civil administration code enables
the fixing of responsibility. He said
it was possible under it to provide
definite duties for every state official
and employe from the highest to the
lowest and to definitely fix the re-
sponsibility for every act. The gov
ernor emphasized the place agrl-
culture has taken under his admins
tration. There is now an agricul-
tural department with police powers,
which the state never had before, he
asserted.
The farmers were reminded that
the last legislature passed laws ia
vorable to cooperation among farm
crs. Among them is one which gives
cooperative institutions seat on

Low Does Much To
Make Salem Good
To Rest Eyes Upon

Leading the way in the general
scheme of making salem a city beau
tiful, City Street Commissioner Walter
Low, with crews of men at work paint
ing all bridges in the city white, is do
ing perhaps more than any other indi-
yidual in promoting this laudible work.
Monday men were at work painting
the bridge across Mil HreeA, on Asy-
lum avenue. All bridges in Sorth Sa-
lem have already been adorned with
beautiful garbs of white.
Commissioner Low plans to spend
the spring months. when weather Com
ditions will not permit usual street
work, in placing Salem in its most
gala attire whenever possible for him
to do so. The city park board has
much work ahead OF it, Mr.. Low says,
in keeping parkings clear of unsightly
debris, having trees trimmed. and dog
ems Of other small things that go to
make the city a mecca for lovers Of
the beautiful.
His chief aim in painting the
bridges throughout the city was to at
tract motor tourists who will pass
through the city this spring and sum-
mer, Mr.. Low said. He believes that
their first impression can be gained of
a city by the appearance of thorough
fares they havesto pass through to en-
ter the municipality.
The street commissioner expressed
the hope that the citizens of Salem
would awake 70 the Importance of
beautifying the city and lend their in
dividual aid whenever possible to the

with facilities for repair and upkeep
improvements at Guam to permit
of its serving as fueling and repair
station for ships en- route to the Far
East and as a fueling base for Unit
ed States merchant marine vessels.
Enlargement of the naval base at
Bremerton, Wash, to permit caring
for a larger quota of the fleet there.
This yard should become one of,
the main repair and docking yards for
capital ships" said Mr. Daniels.
Development of San Diego, Cal, as
the main base OF the Pacific fleet
while on the Southern Pacific drill
grounds.
Establishment of submarine and de-
stroyer bases at Port Angeles, Wash,
