Mr. Mc Allister, during the last year, with its many emergency problems that required speedy and straight thinking to solve, its redoubling of duties and its trying tests in many lines has amply demonstrated his fitness for the position. Each new problem, in spite of the many others with which he is faced, finds him rolling his sleeves a notch higher and tear ing into it with enthusiasm. From a financial standpoint, his stewardship also has been decidedly successful. Departments are running smoothly, yet on less money, and the city's improved financial condi tion reflects the effectiveness of 'his work. In the re-election of Victor R.

' Bank Clearing: The bank clear ings statement. Issued by the federal' reserve branch batik at Portland. Ahowa an increase of 30 per cent dur ing the last six months of 1933 In comparison with the first six months. Total bank clearings from January to June, inclusive, were W72.0O0.000 In round figures, while the July-December statement shows clearinga of M79.000.000. The statement for the first three months of the year, as compared to the last three months. Indicates the substantial gains made by trade In the Oregon country. Bank clearing dropped to O69.0O0.000 tn January, 62,000,000 In February and M7.O0O. 000 In March. Checks totalling 77.. 000.000 were cleared In September. OBO.000.000 In October, and W3.000, 000 In November, the last month for which complete figures were avail able. With figures but partially com plete, December bank clearings were over a68.000.000, and as the averngn day's clearance is over 2,50O.0O0, fed eral reserve bank officials estimated that December figures would equal or exceed the November totals. Portland's incrwu-c In bank clear ings Is in line with similar Incrwes over the country. Omaha lately re ported a 30 per cent Jump In bank clearings, and other commercial cen ters show similar increases. Retail Trade: Alter a disappoint ing fall buying season, blamed par tially on reorganization at-endlng adoption of the retail code, and par tially on unvsuwnably warm wcAther which slowed up clothing trade, re tall trade In the Oregon country made substantial gains in the pre-Chrlst-maa shopping season. Tiie retail trade bureau of Uie Portland cham ber of commerce estimated that pre Chrtstmas shopping Increased 30 per cent in 1933 over the comparable per iod In 1933. It was notable that the Increases in retail trade were all recorded In mer chandise sold In the lower price brackets. 'This augmented trade In lower priced merchandise Indicates that the recovery program Is succeeding In Its first objective, which Is distributing purchasing power among average fam ilies and the unemployed." said Prank Messenger, who has been in charge ol the Oregon-Idaho NRA program since Its Inception, "It Is the small fam ily man who has been most benefit ted by the reemployment made avail able under NRA codes and CWA work projects, and tho retail trade figures show that this added money in circulation Is quickly returning to trade channels, PublUher and General Managei Business Manager 4J0 - 60 Mall -.3.60 5.00 down ; neither shall thy moon shall be thine everlasting light, shall be ended.

A recapitulation of all re-employment figures ln Oregon, estimated and actual. Indicates that not leas than 60,000 persons have found work sine federal recovery agencies began their work 3uly 1. "If the federal recovery program had accomplished nothing else, it would still be a success." said Mes senger. "Ask any one of the' 60,000 who were unemployed, and who now are self-supporting, whether the re covery program ls a success or not." Ex-ports: Oregon exports during tho latter half of 1033 logged "badly be hind a comparable period of 1033 xm til Novomber, when the spur of the new government monetary policy gave new Mfo to the Oregon export trade.

Final action Ins been taken by the state board of review on reports of county w.ient control associations in Oregon, so that new growers who signed contracts are in line for bene fit payments as scon as the contracts pass -tlirough the necessary routine channels in Washington, D.

Essential details of the corn-hog plan. Including copies of the coutrdtt forms, have been received by exten sion officials find are being studied carefully in the light of Oregon con ditions.

An exect statement on the minimum limit with pigs has. not been received, but the corn limit appears definite. A grower qualifying for hogs can receive benefit payments on them even though he has not been raising the minimum amount of corn, by merely agreeing not to increase what corn he has raised. The same ls true for one who can qualify only (or the corn features. The government Is aiming at help ing farmers reduce hog production by 25 per cent and corn 20 per cent, and these are the reductions that a grower agrees to make In signing a contract. Titus If a farmer has aver aged 50 acres of corn a year ho will agree to plant not more than 40. If he has produced four litters or pigs a year, he will cut It down to only three. In return the government agrees to pay him for Joining ln such reduction from the proceeds of -the processing taxes on corn and hog products. Such t payments, plus tho expected rise ln j I prices resulting from reduced volume ! ln production, are expected to bring the growers' returns from these crops close to parity that is, a fair ex- chance value ao of 1909-1014.
