GOV. MKIKK'S WITHDRAWAL
The self-efl'acement of governor Julius Meier from the
fliibermitorial contest undoubtedly hii.s started a lot of new
bloods itching to be among those. upon the political track of
the Renublican primaries next May IK. The governor's with
drawal sort of lets the bars
must have their ears cocked for the least intimation or urg
ing, upon the part of friends and, constituents. There are a
lot of boys over the state who have long held ambitions to
ward the governor's chair.
.With Meier definitely out of the way by his own public
declaration that he does not choose to run, the track must
look a bit more fast and easy to a considerable list of pros
pective starters. The present incumbent, among the post
.season speculators did not carry heavy odds and was not
particularly a favorite but he was still rated high and dan
gerous. In his retirement announcement over the air liwt Saturday night the
governor gnvc no Indication In which camp he might place his colors.
It Is thought in Homo circles that Charlt-a M. Thomas, public utilities com
missioner, may be put up on tho Meter forces' entry. Joe Dunne, senator
from Ivfultnomah county, Is not expected now to need much urging and
has a strong group of backers who are already attempting to talk him up
for the preliminary. Sain Brown, Frank Lonergau, W. E. Burke and
.Charles Hall are already In tho Republican list, progressive or straight,
,aro chafing hard at tho bits and anxious to be off. Others of the "pro
gressive" stables are Bald to bo glooming Hufus Ilolman, state treasurer,
whom they figure has an , oven chance to carry tho banner of Oregon
p. O. P. Into tho November finals.
, Congressman Charles Martin and Willis Mnhoney, fiery Mayor of Kla
math FallB, are so far tho only two who are definitely gathering together
their forces for tho gubernatorial contest over on the Democratic track.
Both of these are strong entries In their field nml, though there Is natur
ally also much longing by favorite sons from various bourbon districts over
the state, It Is not expected tho lists will bo near as heavy as that of .tho
' entries seeking to carry the Ropxlbllean toga for the governorship into
tho November finals.
And speaking of Governor Meier, who in the past year
particularly has been the butt of much criticism from not
only his own party but the wholesale denunciation of , the
opposite camp. When one looks at his : regime fairly and
.compassionately there can be found much to his credit. Ke
member that Governor Meier has held the helm of the state
through a period of critical conditions the country over. His
path, through circumstances, has been of necessity, far from
ail his own making, a stormy one. Jle has made mistakes;
yes, but ho has withal steered a good course: by utilizing
.often the good business judgment that is his in his, state's
behalf. Oregon could be in a far worse state today, embarked
upon a course of theoretical and political manipulation, had
a' less steadier hand than that of Julius Meier been at the
tiller.
! Bring taxes down, adapt them to the ability of the business
and individual, to pay and watch recovery go into high.

REUNION IN YUCATAN
IF VOICES may exist without vis
JMe, corporeal authorship, then
these voices were undoubtedly dis
embodied. This ethereal dialogue was in
Spanish. Oho voice was smoothly
cadenced, -toft with the accent of
ono usiiiK his native tongue. The
other ghost voice was harsher un
doubtedly masculine! also it spoke
abruptly, extravagantly, accented
like a foiulgner's, and laden with
bookish polysyllables.
The abrupt volcu said. ".Miracles,

Tho softer voice chuckled. "You

"Hut they are!" exclaimed the
other voice with emphasis. "I have

A gust of wind, a sou ml like a

ated tho voices for a moment. The
blackness was split with a Hare of

Tho figure of a man stirred in a

hoping to aigiiui u tishing cratt that
might take them to civilization,
whero they could secure help nud
return if It were not too late to
lend assistance to Janice and Billy.
The previous evening, on a crude
raft they had constructed of drift
wood, l hey had paddled out to the
well of fresh water that bubbled in
the sea. T h t y had discovered
Grahame floating his balsa-wood
life jacket keeping his head above
the water.
At Hist they had thought htm
drowned but linally they decided he
was unconscious from exhaustion.
When the downpour had become
steady they sought shelter in this
abandoned fishing hut.
Frank told them his story. He ex
plained hr.w vital it waa that they
secure help and return to the valley
in the Jungle.
Dawn found them staring soberly
at tho neaped uslies and coals of
their (ire. T!.ey had exhausted
every possibility that involved the
three of thorn returning to tho
cenotc-va'lo;-. They realized that
they could do nothing by. them
selves; they must get outside help
somehow. Juan told them that dur
ing the rainy season the jungle waa
almost impassable to travel afoot.
AT THAT comment Frank stared
thoughtfully through the door
way that was just beginning to
show a patch of lightened sky. ;
During tho following two days
Cirocne kept up a continual rapid
lire chatter. The little man, Frank
realized, was on the vorgo of a
breakdown. Tho hardships he had
gone through were unaccustomed
ones.
Moreover ho could see that the
plight of his employer and the fate
of the motion picture party was con
stantly on his mind and his1 Inane
chatter was more to keep his mind
from the subject than for personal
a muscment.
On the morning of the third day,
Frank, sitting out at the end of a
sandy promontory that jutted Into
the sea hea.d tlu sound of a motor.
Visibility was bad. Suddenly, In tho
north he saw the outline of a plane
against the mist. His shout brought
his two companions running toward,
him. The three danced and waved
upon the sand.
' "He's got to see us!" screamed
Greene. "It's the mail plane to Coztt
inel! There won't be another for
days!"
Tho plane droned on. Tho three
castaways caught up palm fronds
and waved them. Greene circled his
ragged jacket about his head. The
airship kopt to its course.
Long after tho ship disappeared
into the southern mist they waved
and shouted mechanically. Finally
exhausted, they sat upon the sand
and stared at each other miserably.
They were too discouraged to hunt
for the conch shell-lish that were
exposed at low tide, and which had
provided them with scanty nourish
ment. Once, miles nt sea, a white;
steamer passed north bound. They
stared at It hungrily.
It was late In tho afternoon when
Frank lifted his head. There was
an unbelieving look in his eyes.
Suddenly Juan Imitated him.
Greene scrambled to his feet.
"It's Iho plane! Hear it? It's"
Tho piano it looked like the one
that had parsed In the morning
was returning. It was (lying lower
and close Inshore. Suddenly It
dropped and zoomed. Banking in to
ward them the engine gave a series
ot staccato roars as if It was sig
nalling acknawiedgment to the
three wild men who danced upon
tho beach.
U swerved away back toward the
south; then banking again it head
ed upwind toward them. Waves
spurted beneath its pontoons. With
spinning propellers it drifted to a
stop a tew yards out from the beach.
Frank was already In the water
swimming toward tho craft. He
hauled himself up over tho pon
toons. The helmeted pilot observed
him quizzically.
"You thee guys have been on my
conscience nil afternoon. Hut I waa
carrying mail. What's on your
mind? Say . . . you speak Kug
hah?..." Frank, gasping for breath, strove
to answer. The pilot called out In a
louder tone, "You hablo . English.
Hoinhrc? What's"
Greene splashing toward them
called. "Keep your shirt on, mis
toi. Sure he speaks Fnglish. I in
vented It, and taught him how.
That's Frank Grahamo a little out

In Washington
Itv Herbert I'luntlmer
WASHINGTON It Is the belief
in best Informed circles here that
President Roosevelt's approval of the
Bankhead cotton reduction principle
Is more significant than first appears.
The proposal, authored by the
Bankhead brothers of Alabama, one
of whom is In the senate and the
other In the house, would apply for
the flrat time compulsion in the cot
ton acreage reduction campaign.
Cotton production would be limit
ed to 9, 600.000 ordinary bales under
tho bill, Allocated among the states
and counties. All in excess of this
amount would be taxed 75 per cent of
its value at current market prices.
There are those who believe that
presidential approval of this measure
is the first step taken by the admin
istration toward Its national land
plan now under consideration.
The government proposes to spend
Immediately $25,000,000 in buying up
submarginal land land which Is
so unproductive that the crop Is not
worth tho effort that goes into it.
Official Opinion Divided
A longer-range plan Is being studied
in detail now by a cabinet commit
tee. Built around the Tennessee valley
project as a model, the plan embraces
flood control, prevention of soli ero
sion, decentralization of industry, and
the manufacture of electric power.
Those who profess to see a tie-up
between the national land plan and
the Bankhead cotton control pro
posal take the position that if the
former Is to succeed the government
must demonstrate its ability to con
trol cotton and other major crops.
The Bankhead measure offers the
opportunity for such a test.
There is wide variance of opinion
on tho question of the government
applying compulsion to acreage re
duction. Secretary Wallace lias been
rather cool toward the principle, al
though he officially sanctioned the
Bankhead bill as representing the
majority sentiment among cotton
growers.
His belief that compulsory reducr
tlon would find rough going In, the
courts If brought to a test is respon
sible for his attitude. He appears to
believe the voluntary approach, now
being used is about as far as the
government can go without raising
a question of constitutionality.
President To .Try 'I.uek
President Roosevelt, however, ap
parently is determined to try his well
known "luck" once more. It hasn't
failed him yet.
With his approval of the Bankhead
theory, passage of the cotton bill this
session seems assured. The house
agriculture committee has done al
most an about- face. Before the
president wrote his letter to Chair
man Jones of Texas the attitude of
the committee had been one of in
difference toward tho bill, if not.
actual hostility.
Now It appears to be In a receptive
mood.
India was the original land of
sugar cane which now grows In prac

pose of stimulation of Industrial
activity, particularly within a certain
radius of the Bonneville dam. The
legislature appropriated $2,500 for
this survey and additional funds were
obtained through the C. W.. A. Mr.
Allen explained that the commission
is going into the Investigation with
an open mind, and is primarily after
l the cold, hard facts, and has no in
tention of favoring any one side in
the matter. -
Later the commission, after ascer
taining all facts possible, will ap
proach public utilities to see whether
they would be interested in buying
'electricity If it were cheaper for them
to purchase instead of manufacturing.
Leroy Ore t turn, manager of the
E. O. L. & P. Co., was the second
speaker, and he stated that the pub
lic utilities would be only too glad
to purchase power if it could be done
so at a cheaper cost than by manu
facturing it. and that the companies
also would be glad to pass any sav
ings on to consumers. He said that
from 30 to 35 per cent of the cost
of electricity is in the manufactur
ing, and that from. 60 to 65 per cent
is from distribution and overhead.
He Is not sure, those in attendance
at the meeting said, that power could
be brought into this section from
Bonneville at a cheaper cost than It
is manufactured here, but expressed
the thought that something might
be worked out.
In connection with service to far
mers in this valley, Mr. Orettum said
that it was difficult to serve them
at present because of the distance
between' farms, which resulted ' In
