Ration Coupon Bonking RATION coupon banking, a new type of service for retailors and wholesalers of rationed cum modUlos, designed to make the nation's ration program work more effectively, will be inau gurated here Jan. '27, through thoi Jtoseburg banking establishments. This Is a war service that the government has asked the banks to undertake under which whole salers and the larger retailers will he required by the office of price administration to ncn "ra-1 lion hank accounts" In the hanks I with which they customarily do! business. Into these "ration ac- j counts" the wholesalers and' re tailers will deposit the ration cou pons received from their custom ers against which they will draw special "ration chrcks" when or- dcrlng new supplies. It is expect. ed that onlv Ihe retailers whos. food sales In December, 1012 ex-1 reeded $5,000 will be directed by I Ihe olficc of price adinjuisl ration lo open "ration accounls." No (bulges of any kind will be made by the banks for tills service. Consumers such as housewives, motorists, and other individuals who purchase rationed com modities for consumption will not he affected by the new "ra tion coupon banking" system. They will continue lo obtain their ration coupons from local ration boards anil they will continue to "spend" their coupons at the stores Just as they have been do ing In the past. Only certain deal ers selling rationed commodities will have to open "ration hank ac counts." The banks will have nothing to do with the lixing of ration al lotments or allowances, or with the issuing ol ration coupons. The j local ration hoards will continue! lo perform these lunctions. I The new "ration banking" sys-, tern will not aflcct Ihe regular! money or check accounls of III" I public at all. The public will con- j tinue to use their bank accounts in the customary way. ; The "ration hank accounts" will i be new accounts for the handling j ol ration coupons only and will he' entirely separate Iront all other' accounts in tin- banks. By deposit-1 log coupons in their "ration bank ! accounts" retailers and whole-1 salers will build up credits or hal-! a ncos ol pounds, gallons, or points ; if. the various rationed commode j ties.

S. army is taking over at Guadalcanal, relieving the marines who have been doing such bitter fighting there. In the normal course of military events, the marines' job is to TAKE it and the army's Job is to HOLD it. Our planes are ranging far and wide over the Jap-held approach es to northern Australia, bombing Jap ships and bases. ASSISTANT Secretary of Wat Patterson takes a hand In the war comment game. He thinks the Russian success es may force the Germans to fall clear back to the Dnieper river for a winter stand. Your map will show you that such n retirement I would be something.

As I predicted; 'two years ago, this session ol j ! the legislature would see an- ; 1 other attempt to railroad through I a 1)111 to pension off the circuit 1 , and supreme judges of the stale ' of Oregon, at a nice lilllo pen-1 ' sion of only 200 per month. This ; bill. If like Ihe last one. sets up the judges' retirement fund and1 i forces Ihem to contribute S or 10 per cent of their monthly salary.: ! whii-h will be matched by the 'stale, into a fund from which i : will be paid the pension when and; , if these judges become totally i and permanently disabled. The Portland police retirement tund, I is a shining example of what one1 jean expect irom this system. Of course, the stale ol Oregon will ; j he expected to make up any and, hill deficits.

Concerning the NORTHWEST At Viewed at the National Capital By John W. Kelly WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 25. Right along the uppercase spokesmen for the rationing pro gram have been telling the people thai they can eat to their heart's content of bread and potatoes to make up for deficiencies in other foods. There was, it was asserted, always Ihe good old netted gem potato to fall hack on and the staff of life. Now the housewife can look for a rationing of pota toes and an increase of one cent on a loaf of bread. Insiders at the agricultural department predict these things are inevitable. It is estimated roughly that con sumption of potatoes in Ihe north west this year will be reduced nt least 10 per cent, or :17,S71,000 pounds. (Oregon M.tiOli.OOO pounds, Washington 23.275.000 pounds). Normal consumption per annum in these states lias been ,'17S,G38,000 pounds. Il works out at l.'i-l pounds a year or 11 pounds a month, or a trifle un der three pounds a week. Figures are from the department. Recent ly it was reported in this column that N. E. tadd, western manager ' ol Triple A. said he wants an ad iditional 100,000 acres of potatoes ! planted this year and declared .Washington, Oregon and north I er.i Calitornia iTule lake) on the i east sloe of the Cuscdes were ! , icai ioi the growing ol neilid . .p, j pd predicted that t;va Iv.M.ld some day be tile potato . center of America. A few weeks ago an adjustment in the price of a barrel of flour was made 10 prevent millers from going out of business. The baker had to pay the increased price, which was so small. that il could not be added to the price of a loaf ol bread. To recompense lor the extra cost, however, bakers were to cease slicing bread, wrapping loaves or accept returns of day : old bread hv grocers. Since then the price of a loal of bread has .been permitted to advance one cent In some areas. Pinch Has Started When Mrs. Jones walks into a meat shop looking for something on which to base a meal Lin in ereasingly difficult taski she may end up by buying a sausage, but it will not be I lie 0111 lasiuoneo sausage or boloney, or hot dog. The denartment ot agriculture is experimenting with a new lor inula. There will be a mere trace ol meat in Hie frankfurter and the balance will be soy beans. . li'he beans will have to be im ported for Hie northwest as there are none grown on a commercial basis in that area 1. Well, Food Administrator Wick a rd has warned that while there will he enough to eat, people may not eat jusl what they like. There are many who challenge Wiek ard's statement that there will be enough to eat there is prospect of very severe belt-tightening bo tore Ihe war is over. First warn ine of food shortage came from the grass roots of the Pacific northwest last summer ami Ibis or was followed by "alarmists" in Calitornia. These initial warn ings were ignored in the national capital until it became Impossible to buy meat In Washington, D. C, itself and milk and butter became scarce. 1 Few stores hero' have butter and those having it sell only one quarter of a pound to a customer 1. All-time record for bumper crops was 1942, thanks to good weather. For 1943 the farmer's are asked to beat last year's record with less farm labor, less machinery and no guaranty 011 weather. Under lend-lease farm machinery and parls have been sent overseas while the American farmer is waiting for a priority. Hv sending implements to Eng lend that country has increased its agricultural product ion, making ship space available for other war materials. Eater, department of agricul ture will advise everyone who has a few feet of ground to dig a vegetable garden, have a lew chickens and, in the smaller com munities, "keep a pig." How About Alaska? House naval affairs committee, which has been interested prin cipally in naval legislation, is branching out and is asking ques tions on many things about I America's sea pow er, une item -o I which the committee will make an inquiry is Alaska and It w i I 1 endeavor to obtain from higb i naval authorities whether they 1 regard the Japanese installations I at Kiska and other Aleutian is I lands as a definite threat. Also, ! they will inquire w hat the navy : is doing about ridding the islands I of the enemy. It is possible, how lever that the information, if ! given, maybe such that the com 1 mittee cannot release it to Ihe public for military reasons. : Draft Drain Still Open i prain on Washington and Ore ' -on for men for the armed for I ecs will continue heavily this 1 year In a couple of months the i program calls for the induction ! of 400.000 a month for the re ! mainder ol the year.
