We'd be in favor of rewarding a number of other writers if they could be induced to do the same thing. '. Pendleton people have a site already picked out for the location of the Eastern Oregon Normal School the remain ing portion of the tract provided for the state insane hos pital, they say, and next that institution. They must have been misinformed as to what the people of Oregon want it's to be a Normal school not a sub-normal school. . r" In the Armistice Day game La Grande deserves all the credit received for playing good football after a three weeks lav-off and handicanned bvihniiiiios:. Most of that'irood foot ball, however, was concentrated into three plays, all of whicJJ-;,,--t''" ,1'egulted in' touchdowns. The rest of the time which didn t prove quite time enough Pendleton had the edge. All' of which gees to show that you're never licked until the final gun. . i : CONGRESS THIS WINTER. ; What will Congress do when it convenes in December? Old-timers, as they look over the situation, suggest that Congress will not do much of anything between Dec.- 6 and March 4 except talk. For various reasons, action -will be difficult. The Senate will probably talk at length nlwut the World Court, but do nothing to change the status of this country's qualified application for membership, which the other mem bers are disinclined to accept. There will be a great deal of excited debate in both houses about what to do about in come taxes and the treasury surplus, and possibly some sort of legislation on that point. . The diversion of water from the Great Lakes by Chicago,- for drainage and navigation, will come up for discus sion,, and probably biing on a bitter wrangle between the two groups of law-makers representing the Great Lakes and tho Mississippi Valley. That issue, however, may be set tled by the Supreme Court during the winter, and thus taken' out of the hands of Congress. There will be a fight to re duce the army and navy expenditures and personnel' which may or may not succeed. Farm relief will enlist attention, as usual, and what will be done about it, if anything, is anybody's guess. The status of Muscle Shoals will be con sidered, with a view to final action, and with some insistence on government operation under the War Department, which has made a good record with the Shoals plant this year. For the most part, Congress in this session may be re garded as less a legislative body than a reflection of the national state of mind. If no definite action is taken about important matters, it will be hugely becauMe the public lacks clear ideas and purposes about national issues. $40,000 Spent In righting Income Tax, Report Says BATjEM, Ore, Nov. 18 (AP) Tho Grontrr Oregon nHHQcltitlon, In ftirlitiriK tho slute moomo tux und HUppoiiing- (ho PonnlH resolution lit' the recent' election cumpulyn, expended ovur o, ooo1, according to a fdateinent riled wilh -the aec retary of mute by f, B.
