Group Studies Defaulted City Of Enterprise Tax Delinquency Witliin Town Scrutinized Map Shown Report Foreword \\ rilten By Herman Kelirli A detailed study of the financial situation of the city of Enterprise, one of several Oregon cities forced to default on their obligations dur ing the depression, has recently been completed by the league of Oregon cities in collaboration with the bureau of municipal research of the University. The study, 115 pages in length, considers in detail t.he agricultural and industrial history of Enterprise and Wallowa county. Tax delin quency within the city itself is j analyzed, and further clarified by a map of the city on which the tax-paying status of every parcel of property is clearly indicated. The bonded city debt and the school district debt are studied. Basic considerations for planning a| financial adjustment program with the city's creditor's are also de tailed. McKinley Supervises The survey was made by Charles McKinley, professor of political science at Reed college and con sultator on administration for the league. McKinley was assisted in the work by Clifford W. Ham, field consultant for the American municipal association, and Arthur M. Cannon, research assistant for the bureau of municipal research. The purpose of the survey was “to prepare the information needed by the city officials and bond holders of Enterprise before any lasting adjustment of their inter ests could be expected,’’ according to the foreward written by Herman Kehrli, director of the research bureau. It was undertaken as a “demonstration” survey, which it is hoped will serve to guide other cities of the state in assembling in formation helpful to city officials and bondholders in determining (he course which will make it possible for the city to maintain itself as a “going concern” and at the same time provide a method of settle ment which will yield the creditor the greatest possible return. oilier* hi Arrears At the time the survey was undertaken it had been conclusive ly shown that many small cities were in the same financial diffi culties as Enterprise, where in creased tax rates brought only de creasing returns and increasing de linquencies. Neither existing obli gations or the obligations which might be incurred with a refunding plan could be met. That the survey is considered a valuable contribution to (lie field of municipal finance is indicated in a letter from Carl H Chatters, ex ecutive director of the Muncipal Finance Officers’ association of the United States and Canada., to Pro fessor McKinley, in which lie stated, "I want to compliment you upon this work and to toll you frankly that it is by far the best thing T have seen along this line.” Campus Br<*vili«‘s (•nests of (ininma Phi Beta — Margaret De Young and Dorothy Peterson, both of Portland, were weekend guests at the chapter house.

Labor Split Widens WASHINGTON The split be tween the administration and the American federation of labor was widened measureably today when President Roosevelt pointedly told the I organization that some de cisions concering labor were for him alone to make. The president spoke directly of the automobile labor board headed by Leo V/olman, pointing out that it was for his to say whether the . board was fulfilling its duties and should be continued. A letter containing this state ment was his answer to the federa tion's demand that the board be abandoned because, the A. F. of L. said, its employee elections and the method of colelctive bargaining it provided were illegal.

Phone 830 workers will use their rifles on the ruling classes.” McGovern Interprets McGovern, who has been in the house of commons since 1930, in terrupted the speech from the throne in 1933 to ask “What about abolition of the means test and unemployment costs?” A group of about 50 alleged com munists created a disturbance in the central lobby of the commons tonight, shouting “we want bread” and other remarks indicating their opposition to the dole plan. Police quickly silenced and ejected them from the building. Parlimentary rules in the house of commons prohibit the mention of King George in debate but such firebrands as McGovern and his fellow radicals have burst forth against royalty several times in recent years. Particularly conspicious for his outbursts has been the member from Glasgow, who has been ejected from the commons several times. Louis A.

Will Rogers, March Of Time Noiv at Mac By Cynthia Liljeqvist Emerald Theater Editor Time magazine again caught, the public between the eyes in it s unique new reel creation, The March of Time, now showing at the McDonald. In its finished form the product is smooth running and seemingly simple to produce but in reality it required many months and $100, 000 expenditure to perfect. In contrast to the usual news reel, Time takes a new event and reenacts it exactly as it happened using, if possible, the people who were implicated. The result is a well molded dramatic incident with a natural time sequence portrayal. Time itself describes this process as “pictorial reporting.” The in timate glances into the lives and actions of prominent people, the completeness of detail and the novelty of seeing news as it hap pens, all bid fair weather sailing for “The March of Time.” If you number among Will Rog er's fans, you will find ample amusement in “The County Chair man,” a story of an old lawyer, Rogers, who revenges himself against the man who stole his be loved, by managing a political campaign against him years later. Rogers does his usual droll, lovable, human role as a master in prac tical politics. The scene is laid in 1900 or thereabouts in Tomahawk county, when the first autos bounced about the streets. Evelyn Venable played a weak role as the political prize. She is better in the super natural role now playing at the Colonial. The humor of the show lies mainly in Roger’s political quips and the nostalgic effect of the old times. The plot is twisted uningenously to accomodate Rogers but makes a riotous finale in the wedding scene. Ray W. Hardman, ’32, is princi pal of the Pine City high school at Echo, Oregon. Ernest M. Jachetta, ’31, is now a member of the law firm of Lon ergan, Crounse, and Jachetta of Portland. Elizabeth L. Bruhn, ’34, of Port land, has a teaching position in the I high school at Newport.
