OREGON. THURSDAY. JANUARY 15. 1931. VOL. XXIXNO. 310 OF THE EVENING NEWS if Editorials on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS PRESIDENT HOOVER calls on the nation to contribute, through the Red Cross, ten mil lion dollars for relief of sufferers from last summer's drouth. Remember this: Last summer's drouth DIDN'T happen In Oregon. A disastrous drouth such as that of last summer in the Middle West and the South NEVER WILL hap pen in Oregon. OR EC, ON Is a mighty good state. It has wonderful possibilities. It will be a better state yet if all its people will have implicit confidence in it and will never lose an opportunity to TELL OTHERS of their confidence. IF your son is a Boy Scout, do you want him to be a special deputy game warden? If you are a normal parent, your answer will he "no." GAME wardens perform a use ful service. Their business is enforcement of the law. Obedience lo the law is one of the principles by which Boy Scouts are guided. Hut. in this writer's opinion. EN FORCEMENT of the law Is a task lor mature men. AC. MARSTERS, of this city. Is re-elected president of the slate fair hoard. It Is a good choice. Mr. Marsters is one of the ablest public officials in Oregon. He has a clear mind, and an unusual fa culty for making sound decisions. No one in Oregon is better quali fied to make a success of the slate fair. FIFTY-TWO varieties of outdoor blooming plants and shrubs are displayed at a meeting of the Rose burg Garden club all picked from otitdoor gardens In this commun ity. And here it is mid-winter. Oregon's climate, taking it the year through, is as fine as any in I he Tnited States, even includ ing the much-vaunted climate of California. And the 1'mpqun valley's climate Is the best in Oregon. IT rains in Oreron in the rainy season. NEVER apologize for that fact. ROAST about It. In nil the wide, tawny desert between the Plnlte river and the Pacific ocean, west trn Oregon and western Washing ton provide the only little oasis of year-round green. That Is something worth boast ing about. ONE great trouble with Ore gnnians is that they don't boast enough. They are too much inclin ed to take their blessings for grant ed. We will get farther into the future If we will TELL OTHERS at every opportunity what a fine slate we have. The more often we tell it, the more readily they will believe It.

(Auocfatod from lard Wire) SALEM, Jan. 15 Several sen ate and house members and grange representatives labored until near ly midnight last night on the hydro-electric hill which (s to provide machinery for the utility district constitutional amendment that was adopted in November. A tentative bill has been drawn by Albert Slaughter, granger who was main ly responsible tor the amendment, and it is being smoothed down Tor introduction at an early date. A separate bill will be necessary, it was said, to provide the hydro electric commission recommended in Governor Meier's message and which is held a necessary part of the utility district mechanism. The commission, however, It is now believed, will serve only in an advisory way, and will have no absolute powers over proposed dis tricts. Pian Is Outlined When formation of a water and power utility district is contemplat ed it is tentatively proposed that a petition of not less than 5 per cent of the registered voters of the district shall request the com mission for an Investigation and hearing. After its investigation the commission may then recommend as to the feasibility of forming the district, and. If the proposed dis trict is outside an incorporated town, may also recommend rela tive to district boundaries. It is not planned that the commission shall have power to deny the for mation of the district.

(Associated Press leased Wire) LOS ANGKLKS. Jan. 15. The Richfield Oil company of California was placed In the bands of a re ceiver today by Federal Judge Wil liam P. James, acting on a petition of the Republic Supply company of California, which listed assets' of Richfield at $l20,0mi,0i0 and lia bilities at S35.0U0.00ti. Judge James appointed William C. McDuffie, president of Richfield, as receiver in equity and his bond was fixed at S3.5O0.0OO, the largest bond ever set for a receiver in fed eral court here. The company is one of the ma jor producing and distributing oil corporations on the Pacific count. McDuffie recently took over di rection of Richfield at the re quest of bankers affilinted In the financing of the company. Stock Stumps The petition for receivership was preceded hy heavy trnding in Rchfleld common stock on Los AngeleB and San Francisco ex changes yesterday and at 'I he opening of the markets today. The price slumped to 2 7-8. Several months ago t,he stock was selling around 14. At the time McDuffie became president, financial agencies report ed that Richfield owed about $2u. 000,000 to banks. In filing the petition the supply company listed claims of $275, noo. which it alleged were long over due. Ily the action, Richfield may continue as a going concern in stead of being forced Into liquid a tion. which would have been ne cessary if a receivership in bank ruptcy had been sought granted.
