days game really was their first
scrimmage, the showing made by
Boilers team was remarkable. I'm
daunted by the fact that they were
facing what had been heralded as
one of the strong conference ag-
gregations. the Bearcats carried
the fight to their opponents from
the first whistle and held the
Eugene lads to a scoreless tie dur
ing the first half.
As had been predicted, the Bear
cat game was wholly defensive,
due to lack of time in which to de-
velop an offensive, and at no time
did the locals threaten the visitors
seriously with their ground gain
ing tactics.
Willamette's defense. however,
was spectacular considering Ore
CONS advantage-in weight of about
10 pounds per man. Time and
again the Bearcat line broke

of the charging backs in holes that
had supposedly been cleared.
Twice Lawson, right tackle,
broke through and blocked Leslie's
punts, while Ramsey, guard, tore
his way through the Oregon line
almost at will. These two line
men and Zeller and Irvine, backs,
were the shining stars for william
ette. though all of the men per-
formed creditably.
Both scores came In the final
quarter. Oregon's following an ex-
change of punts, forward pass for
ten yards and three line bucks
with Shields carrying the ball
across. Willamette scored on a
pretty drop kick from the 20-yard
line by Irvine after Lawson had
recovered fumbled punt.

When 3, ,O58 Enroll

Three thousand fifty eight stu

schools Of Salem at 2::30 o'clock

that, when the last tail ender has

per cent.
1t is in the junior high schools
that the greatest increase is
shown. In the three institutions

904 pupils, while last year there
were but SIS. A gain of about II
per cent is expected in this de-

hold. One person living alone is
counted as a family, while the oc-
cupants Of a hotel or institution,
regardless of their number, are
considered one family. An entire
apartment house, although the
home of many families, constitutes
one dwelling in the census bu-
reau's classification.
AS shown by the 1920 census
the average size of families was
greatest In southern states and
smallest in western states. The
number of persons to dwelling
was greatest on the North Allan
tic seaboard and smallest in west
ern states. Among individual
states the average to a family In

FEDERAL
BANKING
OPPOSED
Report to American
Bankers Association
Scores Extension of
Postal Savings.

Los Angeles. Cal. Oct. s..
Committee, division and section
meetings every half hour begin
ming early today and lasting until
$3.50 tonight comprised the pro-
gram of the American Bankers
association assembled here in an
nual convention. At these meet
ings work Of the general session,
which will start tomorrow, was to
be mapped out. The administers
tive committee was the first to be
called to order, after which 27
other groups were to gather. the
final meeting tonight being that
of the executive council.
Methods Attacked.
Reports made public today in
cluded that of the committee on
savings to the savings bank di-
vision. This contained criticism
of the United States treasury and
postoffice department for their
proposals for enlarging the func-
tions of the government as saw
ings banker"
The treasury department, the
report read, Continues to- use
many of Its war time arguments
for selling its savings securities.
The result has been both costly to
taxpayers and ridiculous as to ef-
feet when measured either by
amount Of sales or the extent to
which thrift has been promoted"
Lately the postal authorities
have sought to inject the govern
ment into the banking business by
departing still further from the
original postal savings plan. In
addition to withdrawing savings
deposits from the community OF
origin. they seek to add features
which are not only competitive but
subsidized by tax exemption.
Opposition Explained.
Our opposition to both schemes
is based not only upon the extrava-
gance of any bureaucratic activity
and the failure of the government
to set a proper example in the
practice Of thrift. but upon the
even more important ground that
In order to perp-tuate their posi-
tions. the governments employees
will continue to advance projects
which are paternallstic and con-
trary to the best interests Of the
public welfare"
The committee on federal legis-
lation reporting to the same d.
vision, commended the adoption OF
a national budget system and an
nounced 1t had favored an amend
ment to the federal constitution so
that incomes from whatever
source derived" shall be taxable by
both national and state authorities
and reduction of public expendi-
lures, especially through placing
all governmental bodies upon the
same basis of reduced expenditures
as applies to all citizens with ex-
ceptions.
