1 '., frvERY time the Oregon legis
; iaturc meets, longing eyes of
. ' ' tiysc who want tax money to
l, spend are cast upon the fine fat
"-. income derived from the gasoline
tax. Bills arc, introduced to di
t " vert some pf the gas tax money
J to other uses.
" ' Lately the effort has been
! mainly by the League of Oregon
J " Cities. That organization wants
"" to have a portion of the gas tax
" money set out for use by cities
in bulldlpg, and Improving
' streets. In other words, the farm-
" ... or ,will be expected to pay the
; - nickel a gallon tax on the gaso
' line he buys, and .a part of the
J '" tax will be -used for Improving
city streets that the farmer does
"' not use.
i But , even the .people pf l!ie
J pities are not , unanimous on the
; v, subject. ' A number of city cour.
ciis In Oregon have gone on rec
ord , opposed to the diversion.
u .-. Here In Roseburg we arc neatly
, divided. The city admlmstratlo )
i. -r,meanlr the mayor and the
" ' city council have voted In favor
of the diversion of the gas tax,
whereas the Koseburg Chamber
of Commerce opposes any raid
2 Whatsoever on the gas lax
funds.
"
- As for. tills newspaper, it sides
. positively with the Chamber of
Commerce opposed to diverting
Z any portion of the gasol'r.e tax
now going to roads and high
ways. We think the motorist
' pays the lax and that it should
m be spent accordingly. II I lie
cities want more money for city
streets let them tax accordingly
they arc bodies with power to
levy taxes. If the various city
Tm administrations like the gasoline
tax because It is u sales tax, pain-
less and easy to collect, let them
organize and pass a sales lax to
' be spent on city streets - if they
think they can, alter the people
of Oregon have refused to vote
such a tax time after time.
'
. The problem of taxation Is the
most troublesome of all problems
faced by the American form of
t government. Nobody wauls to
pay taxes and yet nearly every
one has some Idea or other for
an Improvement to be paid for
out o( tax-raised funds.
, for example, most of us kick
, id(out the spending program of
Ihe federal government, but
! there are few if any cases on rcc-
' old of communities refusing to
help spend the money.
,'Jj Citizens who comprise the av
erage city government In Orc
', gon are no dlflerent from any
other kind ijf citizens. They want
'. to participate! in spending for
I' eily improvement -but they are
! only human In hoping thai Ihe
; money can come from some oili
er source than from a tax levy
', which they must have a part in
proposing.
As a matter of fact it is to he
' hoped lhat our own city ad
ministration will keep right on
with this point of view. Wo
want all of the city Improve
ments that we can possibly, get
without Increasing elly luxes.
Our city administration has dune
a rrmarkahle Job of squeezing
, every ounce of value from every

"The real trouble with San

that Its leading industries and

out and getting more.
"That fact has slowed" us

THAT, if true, is interesting,

should be allowed to keep all ho

should be taxed to the point of

Hoover Presents
Plan for Feeding
Hungry of Europe
CHICAGO. Keb.17 (AP)
Nearly )0,0()().00(J Europeans are
on food rations and hunger in
tho present war Is "coming faster
and with more violence than ever
in Ihe last conflict," Herbert Hoo
ver said last night in announcing
a new plan for supervised feeding
of the people of German occupied
countries. (
The former president's six
noinl plan which lie outlined In n
i radio address at a rallv in behalf
milted to the British and German
governments for consider.-ition.lt
was evolved after the belligerents
rejected previous proposals of the
committee.
Mr. Hoover, who heads a
commission surveying European
food shortages, said the plan pro
vides for an initial experiment in
Belgium and if successful would
lie extended to Ihe other democra
cies. -
(The proposal lias failed lo
; persuade II he British government
'to relax Its blockade in Europe, an
I aulhoritallve source in Loudon
!snld today. The British author!
I lies, this informant said, remain
firm In their view that food from
the outside would only poslponc
I British victory. The reports from
j occupied countries, lie added,
I show that Ihe Germans are loot
I ing fields, granaries and shops,
' and leaving the people in many
areas in a wretched although not
j starving condition.
I I louver said, however that a
I commission of three Americans
sent to investigate the Belgium
tood situation reported the entire
'nation would lie nraclieallv Willi-
! out fond in a month unless aid
were forthcoming. A similar silua '
lion will prevail soon, hi added,
in Norway, central Poland, ami j
'unoccupied France and Finland.
J The plan provides: lhat all J
feeding he dune lliruugli Ihe Ger- i
. mans; lh.it at the start one mill-i
ion children he cared lor witli
5H.IKHI tons of food a moiilli; thai
the German government agree
nol to requisition native tood;
thai both Germany anil England
give tree passage to relief ships,
and that some ueulial body
supervise the program.

Disease Taking Toll of
Deer in Coast Range Area
Cooperation of Douglas county
residents in helping to eradicate a
disease which is reported to be
taking a fairly heavy toll of deer
in the coast range area is request
ed by Lee Kuhn of the wildlife re
search unit of the game depart
ment at the Oregon State college.
Mr. Kuhn is located at the pres
ent time at the Sitkum CCC camp
where he was sent to investigate
reports of deer found dead or ill
as the result of a malady affect
ing the digestive tract.
So far, Mr. Kuhn reports, the
epidemic appears to be located
only in one small area in the
coast range district. However, it
may spread to other localities and
he asks that any persons discov
ering dead or ailing deer notify
him immediately. He may be
contacted until March 1 at Camp

SERIAL STORY
DUDE COLLEGE
BY OREN ARNOLD.
YESTERDAY: Thomas U.
Bailey, financier and airplane
manufacturer, Is so delighted
with his New Mexico ranch that
he orders his play-girl daughter,
Ronnie, to Join him. The tele
gram catches up with Ronnie,
dancing with Andre Girardeau,
Gotham's No. 1 war refugee. She
is to attend Pueblo university,
better known as Dude college.
Her father's word is law. After
Andre takes her home, he goes
to his own apartment, writes a
message on a card with disap
pearing ink, and another on the
same card in real ink, mails it to
leaving any fingerprints.
MEET THE PROFESSOR
CHAPTER II
Three days, after Ronica Bailey
received the telegram from her
dad, New York's best read news
paper columnist had this open
ing paragraph:
"Tho town's most oompha
tic somebody has left the
town in the lurch, maybe for
good. She took off yester
day in her new golden mono
plane, and by now she's
probably at the controls of a
saddle horse with a golden
mane. The location, if you
want to follow roaming Ron
lea, is Pueblo university in
New Mexico, famed more for
dudes than for football. We'll
bet a week's salary Ronnie's
the best-looking maverick
that college ever corralled.
And the heart news is that
the too, too devastating
gentleman from Europe was
successful in his rapid woo
ing, hence will become a
cattle baron, too. Exact date
of the wedding is yet a se
cret but stand by for fur
ther announcement."
The columnist, shrewd fellow,
knew whereof he spoke. Pueblo
U. had been more or less taken
over by the dude ranch patrons
in the past few years, wherefore
some dozens of America's wealth
iest and loveliest girls were re
gistered the, but Ronica Bai
ley's' coming was a distinct sen
sation.. "Wheeuw!" was the def
inite if iinscholarly reaction of
the university's young men.
Monday at 9 o'clock saw Ron
nie tap-tap-tapping down the
arched colonade of the adminis
tration building, walking fast as
always, dressed in a simple, but
costly, sweater and shirt outfit.
The skirt was almost knee short,
convenient as well as cute.
.She r smiled at everybody, .in
cluding those she didn't know,
and practically everybody turned
to watch her. She entered the
registrar's office.
There she received instructions
to report at once to her faculty
adviser and 'counsellor, a' Dr.
Woodrow Wesley York, Ph.D.
Ronnie heard his name with def -
inite misgivings. He sounded for
midable. He sounded like like a
frame-up her daddy had arrang
ed. Daddy hadn't liked the repu
tation she acquired at college
last year too much publicity to
hpr 'raveling and flying and gen
leral extra-curricular activity so
he had probably connived in ad- !
jvance with some crusty old gent j
to boss her here. She climbed'
! soberly lo room 309. j
I "I am Ronica Bailey," she told
I the bespectacled young clerk in.
Dr. York s outer oil tee. )
The clerk turned from a honk I
and spoke first without looking ,
up. "Please sit down. . . . Bailey. 1
I. . . Bailey. . . . Oh yes. Miss Bai- !
! ley, here is your record card. I
Now it is a pleasure to welcome
you officially and I trust that ,
. All nl once he slopped. He had ,
j looked up and gotten a full bang- j
ion view of Monica Bailey from
New York.
He is not to ho blamed. Many
another man had experienced
the arresting pleasure of discov- j
cling Ronnie Bailey, of coming j
directly in front of lier violel ;
eyes. Ronnie waited. Her ebony,
curls Unwed down behind to
strike white clad shoulders and
sort of splash back upward, like
a black cascade. The young
man in horn-rimmed glasses
swallowed. 1
"Is is Dr. York in now?" she i
asked, courteously.
"I am Dr. York." croaked the
young man, basso profundo.
For a moment they just slared
in mutual appraisal. Then all
at once Dr. York arose, remem
bering his manners. Thai em-1
barrassed him even more, now- j
lever. Ix-cause she was already:
silling, anil he could only plop
back down. He turned a bit;
crimson.
Me look out n handkerchief
and blew his nose, glanced fear
! wimely at Ronica again and said.
I Inanely, "Uh, yes. yes Indeed!"
I All at once Ronnie laughed out
i loud.
I "I'm so sorrv!" she quickly :
apologized. "I didn't mean lo lie j
I rude." ;
He smiled then. Moreover, his !
i smile was genuine, human. He I
I didn't look like a Dr. Woodrow
I Wesley York. He looked more'
Hike somebody's big brother who
jhas been working too hard In an '
office, Ronnie told herself. Sud-j
Idenly she liked him, and so with ,
I characteristic Impulsiveness she 1
! spoke.
COPYPISHT. td40,
NEA SERVICE. INC.
"Do you know how to dance?"
she asked, brightly..'
"Do I I beg pardon?" His
mouth remained open.
"You surprise me, Dr. York. I
expected a crusty old professor.
You are a professor, aren't you?
Chemistry or something?"
v. "I I archaeology! And as for
surprising one, Miss Bailey, you,
ah, do right well yourself. But
wait ! Do not misunderstand. I
like your frankness, I mean.
Your, ah, natural verve and ebul
lience. It is an added pleasure
to discover one of your striking
personality. You have the capa
city for leadership, I'll wager."
"Tell me some things," she
leaned a shapely elbow on his
desk. "Will it be all right if I
keep my monoplane here? I do
so love to fly.
"Oh by all means, Miss Bailey.
Pueblo university lias no foolish
disciplinary restraints, so long as
its students stay within reason.
Freedom of action is a concomi
tant of freedom in thought, we
hold, and youth must have free
rein."
Ronnie sat back, smiling hap
pily at him. Oddly, she suddenly
took careful note of Wesley York
as a man. He was big. Not as
tall as well as Andre Girardeau,
for instance. Despite his initial
embarrassment here, he had an
open, friendly manner. His talk
was too bookish, but his ' blush
had been that of a hoy. She
couldn't imagine Andre Girar
deau ever blushing!
She had liked Andre, even
though she knew so little about
him: from the day of his arrival
in Manhattan society he had paid
her ardent court. But now, with
2000 miles between them
She brought her thoughts back
to the formal conference here,
and when it was over half an
hour later she drove straight to
her new ranch home. College
classes wouldn't start until to
morrow, so she had a day in
which to explore. She had her
mechanic warm up her golden
monoplane.
"Landing fields are scarce out
here, Miss Ronica," the mechanic
warned.
"Righto, I'll stick in a 'chute,
lust in case. It's gorgeous coun
try." It was truly gorgeous. It was I
even more so from the air. She
leveled off rather low lo study
the thorny cactus growths and
the old rocky contours ot the
map slipping under her. ....
For one thing, there Wasn't a
town nor a house nor any living
object as far as she could see, ex
cept for Ihe tiny college town
and the ranch homes in that par
' ticular canyon. She was whirring
I due south, and she flew steadily
I for at least half an hour, more
jnnd more awed by the vastness
of this uninhabited cactus land.
When she had made a great
curve, leaped over some low
mountains and headed back
north again, she suddenly saw
five dots crawling on the ground.
Binoculars showed them to be
men walking, although there
was no sign of road or trail.
Willi a curiosity typical of her,
Ronnie cut her motor and slid
down the air to get a closer look
at them- and that was a mistake.
When her plane was sing.r.g
along easily not 100 yards from
the men, they produced guns and
began to shoot!
Ronica was speechless. Wind
fingers reached in lo grip her
face, because one bullet had
come so dangerously close as to
break her front view- window
and scatter glass ill her lap.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
"Ho, everyone that thirstelh
come ye to the waters." The
mountain stream is pure and
refreshing. It never grows old,
it never becomes stale anil in
sipid, Its loveliness and spon
taneous outpouring for one and
all hint at the nature of God's
provision for man. "His bread
shall be given him, his water
is sure." God's eternal love
for man never fails. Careful
contemplation of this illustra
tion, illuminates His tender
care for his children, Jesus
later uses this story of the wa
ter of life, Ihe waters of truth
and love. The wonderful care
that guarded the children of
Israel in the wilderness was
attested when water gushed
from the rock. ' Moses' spirit

faith and willingness to see and
obey the divine command,
brought an ever-present supply
into visible manifestation, and
the fact of God's wonderful
care gave them a realization
of His divine presense. What
spiritual deserts where no
springs appear, where strifei
and greed would dominate
men's lives. Jesus came to
bring that "living water," a
well of water springing up into
everlasting life." That is the in
vitation that he extends to all
mankind. Amen.

that "it will take years and years
to rebuild." A rather humorous
note is injected in the letter by !
the following sentence: i
"Poor old Aunt Lizzie, still sit- I
ting tight, says tho bombs go
whizzing by her kitchen window, !
but as long as they don't stop,
she doesn't mind."
