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.”

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.

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.

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
