PRIMARY ELECTION DATE . j
A bill has recently been introduced in the Oregon state
senate by Senator J. E. Bennett, which has for its object
elections from the month of May to some time in September.
; In a recent article appearing in the Portland Journal,
Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York and a candi
date for the presidency in the recent election, said : j
, "There is no reason in the world why a man ,
; , should be nominated, for the presidency in the
'month of May . . . The proper thing to do is to nom-;
'inate a candidate in the middle part of September.
With our modem means of transportation and
communication all the campaigning that is neces
. sary can be done in six weeks."
There are many who will agree with this reasoning, and
if it is true of a presidential campaign there is all the moret
reason why the same arrangement will be even more desir
able in the case of state primaries.
In favor of his bill Senator Bennett gives four outstand-."
ing reasons why the change will prove of benefit, and
summed up' they ar.e as follows :
'1. A shorter campaign, saving the energies of the people
and the candidate. .'
2. Less expensive for the candidate.
3. Less time would be given by state appointees in cam
paigning for those whq would be their officers; thus permit
ting them to give their full time to the duties of their post-,
tions. '!
4. An issue of the voters' pamphlet (now costing the tax
payers about $14,000) could be dispensed with. One issue
of the pamphlet before the primary election would be suffi
cient. At the present time twenty-eight states hold their primary
elections in either August or September, and there seems
to be no valid reason why the state of Oregon should not
make the suggested change. ,

A CANADIAN REPORT J
The Canadian Bank of Commerce, in its recent monthly
bulletin, reports that for the second successive month the
business condition of Canada is better.than that of the world t
in general. The report points out the fact that while busi-1
ness activity is still a little slow, the economic conditions have
become stabilized, and that no serious disturbances are
visible. '
Consumer demand in Canada has been better than in the
United States. For example, last year consumption of goods '
fell only 10 per cent below 1929 and only 5 per cent below
1928. The number of construction contracts last year were "
20 per cent below the 1929 figures, but the outlay involved
exceeded that of 1928. The report shows. that Canada, so
far as industrial operations are concerned, made a good
record.
The most serious difficulty they are experiencing is that
occasioned by the oversupply of wheat and consequent re
duction in value of farm crops. The government is endeavor
ing to assist in remedying this condition by urging curtail
ment of wheat acreage, and providing a fund to be loaned
to the farmers to assist them in diversifying their crops.
An investigator reports that plants make a noise when
growing. Very few of us, however, have yet heard the
pop of the poppy, the snap of the snapdragon, the moo of
the cowslip, the bark of the dogwood, the roar of the dande
lion, the croak of the crocus, the meow of the catnip, or any
of a dozen similar noises.

In Washington
By Herbert Plnmnier
WASHINGTON Perhaps you
thought your Uncle Sam was a bit
! extravagant for these depressed
times when you read the other day
that he had spent 1.800. 000 for an
American embassy In Berlin.,
That was the price paid for the
Bluecher palace, located at the
head of Unter den Linden In the
center of the city, and over which
Ambassador Sackett is to preside.
Lota of money to pay for an am
bassadors residence, you may have
thought.
As a matter of fact, only a small
part of the Bluecher palace will be!
allotted to the American ambassa
dor for llvlnc quarters. An em
bassy certainly this one In Berlin
Is mote than a place where brll

For two days the opposition's tac
J!cs had blocked budget discussions.
opponents oi tne administration had j
charged Sblrehara with, an "Indls-;
creet" utieroucs during interpeJla- j
tions regarding Japan's security as !
the outcome of the London naval
treaty. i
Shldehara had replied to the In !
terpellatlons by saying the treaty had
been ra tilled by the emperor and that
this was proof It did not endanger
national security. j
Brings Forth Slorm.
The foreign ministers answer
- brought for-h a storm from the op-,
position party, which noisily protest- :
ed against his reference to the em-:
peror and asserted Shidehara was en-!
deavoiing to put the onus on the
titular head of the empire. !
Shidehara explained that mention '
of the emperor had been merely a slip .
of the tongue and that the govern-;
ment had been entirely responsible.
That started the storm to brewing, i
however, and held the budget com-1
mittee In a two-day deadlock. ; j
Earlier today Shidehara had been :
denounced and an attempt by the
opposition to rush him had been
blocked by the police.
Tactics Interpreted as designed to
unseat the Mlnselto (majority party)
ministry or Hamaguchl and Shidehara .
immediately preceded today s dls- r
turbance. j
Feeling against the government be-'
gan to crystallize last June when Ad
miral Kanjl Kato, chief of staff of:
the navy, resigned as a protest against
acceptance of the London treaty. Ad-';
mlral Kato had represented a group j
of nava lists and others who had be-1
lteved the London agreement too '
much of a concession for Japan to !
.undertake.
Earlier today six Jiu jltzu experts
were added to Shidehara's police
bodyguard after he had-been heckled
nd threatened by members of the ,
Selyukal. or opposition party.

"SCARY" GAMES AND STORIES
By Alice Judson PenJe
When the story of Black Sambo
was told to a four-year-old kinder
garten group, one little boy burst
into tears and rushed over to the
teacher, crying, "Please, please stop.
I don't want to hear any more!"
Jt was the too-graphic telling of
poor little Black Sambo's plight,
when he thought that all four tigers
had ccme back to eat him up, that
caused the outburst.
To most children the story of lit
tle Black Sambo Is entirely delight
ful. The roaring tigers, the fear ele
ment and the wholly satisfactory out
ccme offer Just the right combina
tion of excitement and pleasure.
But children are not all alike, and
there are many who react with vio
lent emotion to stories that have
leng been considered nursery classics.
It is well to study your child care- ,
fully cn this point and to select your
stories accordingly.
Frequently stories that are other
wise suitable inspire terror because
tho grown-up. in an effort to give ,
the greatest possible delight to his
small listener, dramatizes too vividly 1
the cruel, gruesome or fearful ele
ments of the story.
The tension caused bv a too-exciting
story-hour often results in rest- i
less sleep, bad dreams and even night :
terrors.
Another source of such difficulties
is found In games which dramatize
hunting, shooting, fights with wild
animals, or battles with dragons and
giants. !
Even the most stable child should
not be allowed to indulge In such
games Just before going to bed.
Children of like age seldom over
stimulate one another even at this 1
sort of play. It is usually when
child plays with older children o
with adults that the make-bellev
becomes so real as to frighten him.
How to Be Immortal
It Is curious how rarely, even
by chance, men do endow their
words, their Inventions or their ac
tions witb their names. It seems
tlu;t such an Immortality is more
easily earned in the world nf no
tion. It Is belter to burke e man.
to lynch him or to guillotine hi in.
to provide him with a hroushnm or
a hansom and a maendnm road to
ride on If you wnuhi have your
name berome a dictionary word.
