Natural Gas Corporation Will Hold Open House Oeirbration Saturday to Show Ap- pUancve and fa r e of New Fuel. High School Notes ■ T A T E C A P IT O L , Salem. Ore., Feb. 24. (Special.)—As this Is w rit ten the prospects are that we shall be here until Saturday, and the old timers are predicting It w ill be the middle of next week before there can be a sine die adjournm ent One thing Is certain, the boys are going to stay and finish the Job. even though they are contributing their tim e this week and there are a number, badly h it by the depres sion, who can not afford to make the contribution, could not even a f ford the 40 days at $3 per. W ith the members working a week or ten days on their own time. It Is u n fa ir to continue to criticise them for dallying around. The facts are that they are doing better than would those so loud in th eir con demnation. I f It required 40 days to transact the business of the state at the time th at the 40-day session was set, double or treble that time should be required now. for the business to be transacted has grown that much. W hen this w riter arrived in Ore gon 20 years ago all the departments of the state were housed in the old capitol building. Soon the supreme court building was added, then the sm all state building, where the p rin tin g office still is, then the m agnificent four-story office build ing now in use, and all of this space Is being used, w ith a large part of the Oregon building in Portland be ing used also for state business. This increase in office spate needed should Indicate the need for longer and better legislative sessions. Legislation is required at every session for practically every activi ty of the state, not to mention much purely local stuff, such as closing part of the McKenzie to boat fish ing, closing certain lakes to boat fishing, adjusting county salaries, passing enabling acts for cities and counties, regulating cities, schools, counties, etc. The state has outgrown the horse and buggy days, which fact the peo ple should realize, and should act accordingly. • • • I t is commendable of the people to be interested in w hat the legisla ture is doing, but often a large gal lery is expensive for the state. This seems Inexplicable, for the gallery makes no demands and seems con tent to merely listen to the oratory, and there is always plenty of this when there is a good gallery. That is w hy a gallery is expensive. One member has made an estimate that the tim e the legislature is actually in session costs $700 an hour. This means th at if a potential candidate fo r congress makes a two - hour speech, or speaks an hour on each of two bills, he has put the state to an expense of $1400. The potential candidates fo r con gress, for senator, for governor, never fa il to note when the gallery is present. Fortunately for this session, there are few avowed can didates fo r any of these positions. O nly one candidate fo r congress has been mentioned, and there are no candidates for the other offices. A n odd thing is that no candidates have yet developed for the presiding positions of the two bodies two years hence. • • • Speaking of the influence of the galleries, the other day Represen tative Ben Nichols of Douglas was stirred to an oratorical flight, and he even turned his back on the house, m erely looking around a t the speaker every few minutes to see th a t the presiding officer under stood. • > • I f a ship could roll heavily on a calm sea, th a t is the condition of the ship of state.

Construction work on the gas distribution system has been com pleted and the plant is now under way. This w ork has done much to relieve the local unemployment sit uation during the winter, with every effort being made to use lo cal labor and supplies. Arrangements are being made for an appropriate ceremony to be held at the time the plant building is completed and gas is first turned into the mains, in which both city and company officials w ill partici pate, w ith all citizens invited to a t tend and inspect the gas plant, if tkey so desire.
