Abolition
Of Highway

State Grange Favors
Single Paid Execu-
tive to Supervise
I Road Work

Eugene, Ore, June 3.-Senti
ment of the farmers of Oregon al
represented by the state grang'
began to crystalize late Thursday
the third day of the session, in thu
consideration OF the few resolu'
tions which SO far have seepet
down through the respective com
mittees. Other than complete vic
tory for a program of rigid econ
omy in state and national affairs
little indication has been given in
the voting, and the discussion
which preceded 1t, as to any one
definite policy being the outcome
of the assembly.
Abolition of the state highway
commission and the election in its
place of one man, who would be
paid a salary and who would be
directly responsible to the elector-
ate, is to be asked by the grange
with the Endorsement of a resolu-
tion introduced by George Harrow
of Washington county.
State Income Tax Favored
A state income tax, the abolition
of "all waste and extravaganza, I"
and the enactment Of law by the
state Legislature requiring all
manufacturer of wooden fabrics to
tag their products with the per-
centage of virgin wool and other
materials represented in their
manufacture, were recommended
in the report Of the committee on
legislation, which recommended,
among other things, the abolition
of all millage taxes after 1924, the
division of the session of the state
legislature into two 20-day ses-
sions, doing away with two-thirds
of the state committees, and the
reduction OF all salaries, with the
exception of sheriffs, 33 1-3 per
cent. The last two were sent back
to the committee and the others
lost. A recommendation calling
for restriction of the number OF
bills to be introduced by each
member of the legislature was
tabled.
Enthusiastic and almost unani-
nous selection of McMinnville as

made at the afternoon session, and
indication given that Seaside

rency of the European nations, who are anxious
for deflation, to begin to reduce the large issues
of paper money. This will prove a. godsend to
Europe. Less paper money and greater pur-
chasing power for the existing currencies will
go long way toward solving present economic
difficulties and restoring general confidence"
Asked about the sentiment in Australia con-
corning the coming conference on the reduction
of ornaments Mr. Sheldon said:
Naturally, Australia is vitality interested.
Australia is relatively more concerned in the Pa
cific than any other people; her predominant
ing point of national policy, with the exception
of domestic issues, is the Pacific. Both in the
deliberations and the outcome of the November
convention, therefore, our people are intensely
concerned. They are hopeful that it may be the
means of introducing a settled, definite policy
and general understanding among the nations of
the Pacific

Cost of Fire in the United States

The fire loss in the United States would pay
the cost of the Panama canal in two years. says
bulletin of the Michigan department of public
instruction, which also submits the following
data:
The fire loss in the United States for one
year placed in pennies would reach II times
around the earth and then across the United
States.
The fire loss in the United States would pay
the national debt, prior to the World war; in four
years.
The French people have said of us Americans,
''They are mighty builders and mighty burners
and so we are, not Intentionally or criminally,
but negligently and carelessly.
Fires in the United States cost approximately
$500 a minute.
The average fire loss in the United States
during the last 10 years increased $50 per cent.
The increase in population was POST per cent.
Draw your conclusions.
Carelessness costs this nation a $3.50 900. 600

Europe Emerging from Depression

Great Britain and Europe are just beginning
to emerge from the business and commercial de-
preston of the last year or So according to Marx
Sheldon, commissioner for Australia in the
United States, who returned after three months
in Europe.
GAS far as I could observe" says Mr.. Shell
don there is a realization by both labor and
capital in Great Britain of the necessity of reviv
ing trade upon less inflated lines. The fall in
price of coal is gradually reviving many indus
tries, especially the iron and steel trades Con-
ditions in the wool market also are better.
Shipping, however, is still in a bad way. It
isn't so much question Of freight rates as an
actual want of business. Shipbuilding in Great
Britain is like everywhere else in the world at
a standstill.
Public opinion in Great Britain is active for
retrenchment and curtailment in government ex-
penditures. This along, with the question of un-
employment, will in all likelihood be the great
domestic issue during the next Is months.
Of general European trade Mr.. Sheldon says
Although the American dollar is at pre-
MUM in relation to other European currencies,
the latter are so deprecated in relation to the
pound sterling that it severely handicaps the
export of British manufactured goods. In the
last few weeks, however, there has been a better
undertone in the export field because it is felt in
British circles that foreign competition in most
lines has gone the limit in the way of low prices
There is one point in the readjustment OF
values throughout Europe which will have good
influence. 1t will enable the controllers of cur

Ripping Rhymes
CHEAP SKATES
BY Walt Mason

Cheap skates are men whose idle
lives no sane results are giving, who
loaf and argue while their wives at
tempt to earn the living. While men
of vim and merit chase around in high
endeavor, cheap skates sit in the
marketplace and thrash stale themes
forever. They play cheap games for
cheaper stakes in joints where skates
assemble, and talk of toll with hoes
and rakes will make them finch and
tremble. Cheap skates are men who
never pay unless through writ of
judgment; their promises of yesterday
but show what bunk and fudge meant
They spoil their stand-off at the start
they mangle and behead it, and now
there-is no store or mart where they
can buy on credit Their children
have to blush for shame, their wives,

And set my heart afire;

With lofty strains, that soar eternally,
