RESTORATION OF BUSINESS FAITH, SPRAGUE'S PLEA .'(Continued rn.m nnee 11 set our pace on the IiiihIs of a cost wo can afford.

In view of the sluallness of the sum now available for construct Ion, tbo public Interest will be better serv ed by continuing the present pro- grnm, wun tne higiiwiiy cammls both within and without cities.' Sales Taxes Opposed. The only proposed tax chunge lie submitted was that the intangibles lux be consolidated with the income tjix. Ho opposed gross income and sales tuxes. Speaking of publle assistance, which will cost S22.oon.OUO In tho next blenniuin compared with SI 000,000 In the present biennlum. Sprague said "increases in old age assistance should not come by un fair shrinking of contributions lo those on relief who ure below age 05. The stnto and counties are sup plying about all the revenues they can for these purposes at the pres ent time. I know of no source which would supply revenues In volume which would be approved by the people on referendum." Encourages Business. Turning to economic problems, he said business has been "In such prolonged distress through retarda tion of trade, lubor disputes and new burdens of regulation and liga tion that they have become dis couraged, "Tho last election should en courage fresh undertakings In com merce and manufacture.

"A major trouble with Oregon Is that Its economy is out of balance," j be added 111 stressing the need for Industrial development so that the stale would not need to continue Importing seven times m much as it exports. Reforestation Favored, lo urged creation of a strong for estry department for reforestation of elitover lands and conservation of timber resources, and said the stale should acquire culover lands. Sprague called ror development of agriculture and mineral re sources and conservation of wild life, as well as promotion of re crentlonal resources. Ho proposed uniform county taxes for elementary and high schools und reduction In the number of school districts, tho program to ef fect economies and make larger amounts available for teaching pur poses.

The retiring governor praised tho county courts for cooperating In the roller crisis, but be look n parting shot at Multnomah county, "whoro political expediency occupies Ihe saddle."

The national advisory commit tee for aeronautics warned con gress today "feverish" expansion of military and commercial air fleets by foreign nations was chal lenging America's aviation leadership. The committee, which does fun- laniffritfil research in the science of flying, recommended setting up a mooraiory to experiment with uirplane structures. "It Is not only a good policy from a financial standpoint," lis annual report said, '"but also vital from tho standpoint of national defense, that American nlreraft have a performance equal or su perior to that of a potential en- t omv. I "Mere numbers of aircraft, how ever, are not in themselves suffi cient for an adequate modern air force. It is of even greater Im portance that the aircraft, be of the most effeetlvo design."

Etchings Draw Interest. Much Interest was manifested concerning tho bountiful large col ored etchings which the executive enmniltlee of the stale grange bad de hied upon as premiums to any patron who brings in three appli cations for reinstatement or of can didates for membership. The ap plications must he presented dur ing this year and applicants must receive the first and second de grees during 1939. The pictures are nineteen by twenty-two inches in size and will be mailed in card board boxes and not rolled. There is a movement upon the part of W. J. Wilcox of tho Grange Whole sale to provide frames for the pic- j tin es based upon uiiautity nur-, chase. ! One of the best features of this 1 picture contest, it was stated, Is the -provision that any grange : whose members are awarded five of these pictures will receive one ' free. Too many grange halls, the ' deputies said, present bare walls. 1 and several of these etchings would nun greiuiy to uie nuerior. Wltu In a short time all slate deputies will be provided with a sot of these etchings and able to display them when attending grange meetings. ' Lane LeJs In Gains. County Deputy F. B. Harlow said that last year Lane county made the largest net gain in mem-! hershlp of any county In Oreeon and there were no fatalities among Ihe 81 granges in hs jurisdiction. ; Lonsioeruoie discussion took place over the advisability of es- laoiisning a Pomona grange among the units along tho western part of Lane and Douglas coun ties. Those seven or olght granges practically Isolated from the meetings or the Pomona in theHO two counties, due to distance, and the consensus of opinion was that If these granges hud their own Po mona as a rallying point the mem bers would not feel as though they were in a detached nosltion so far ns broad grange activities re concerned. It was also sug gested that such an organization as n Pomona in this section might lead to tne organization of a grange cooperative to augment tho one -at Florence. t Co-op Value Stressed. i Much time was given to a dls- ' cusslon of the grange cooperative movement, which Is growing rap idly, and tho nosslbilities of great 1 savings to he made by purchasing t3- through local grange co-ops or the Oregon Orange wholesale. It was estimated that the savings that could be made by the purchase of $50 of supplies through the grange co-op would umount to $10, or enough to pay for a membership. "When the, grange membership be comes co-operatively minded." stated the state master, "many times the cost of grange dues will be saved by a single purchase from our co-op." Prominent items of the grange legislative program were discuss ed und it was suggested that mem-j hers of legislative committees dis cuss the program at the next meeting of their respective granges. During the meeting it was ex plained that the directors of the Grunge Mutual had made n large reduction In premiums on grange halls, nnd it was predicted that within the near future every grange ball in Oregon will be pro tected from fire hazards in the Grunge Mutual.
