CENSUS FIGI RES DISAPPOINTING The current census figures on -western Oregon cities anddjjwns recenUy released has been disappointing to many; a ¡miction made in these columns a week or so ago. Even though Lane county has reached a population of 124,000. no city or town within the county came up to the estimated population aside from Springfield Cottage Grove did not reach the estimated 4,500 people we thought we had, but even so the city showed a gain over 30 per cent or there- * abonts, which is better than the average commuhity in west- “ ern Oregon. The city limit still covers a comparatively small ’ area and no attempt has been made to annex additional terri- * tory such as is the case in many of the more rapidly growing 5 centers. W6 will stick our neck out and venture another guess * that could an accurate count be made of the people living just * outside the city limit within a radius of two miles of the city ~ center, we would have nearly twice the 3,521, the unofficial • cotint released recently. WAGE EARNERS NOT DISTURBED it a What does the average American wage earner think ; about the rash of anti-trust actions being tossed at leading •• U. S. corporations? The Wage Earner Forum recently under- ? took a nation-wide poll on the subject. The results, released < last week, demonstrated that the nation's workers are not i nearly as disturbed about “big business and monopoly” as ■ the Justice Department is. For example, the Forum revealed • that the informed members of the poll sided with A & P • Food Stores by a 21>C-to-l vote in opposing the anti-trust ' lawyers’ current suit to break up the food chain. This \>te was similar to the findings in 10 other national and sectional - polls on the same subject. All of them reported that informed * public opinion favored A&P over the anti-trust legal eagles by margins which ranged from nearly 2 to 1 in the Gallup *• poll last November to more than 4 to 1 in the Roper poll in • March. The Forum sums up its survey with: “Few wage earners are disturbed by big business as such.” BIGGER BUTTER PATS Bigger butter pats served by the restaurants and cafes might be an aid to the dairymen when the federal tax on t oleomargarine is taken off July 1. At least this has been the suggestion advanced by several. The government has over 130,000,000 pounds of butter in storage and what happens after the price of oleo is reduced is anybody’s guess. By giv- ‘ ing butter to schools for school lunches and selling a little butter here and there the government has been able to dis- pose of only six or seven million pounds of butter within the last year. SIAMESE TWINS end of June this year. Accordingly, I supported a com- promise proposal put through the Senate by Senator Cordon- to ex tend the time for i-ompleting the work just 90 days to Octolier 1. Following a Public Lands Commit tee hearing at which I spoke at some length in support of tlie Cor don bill, it was favorably reported. The bill carries an amendment providing that assessment work for the present and coming year may be done at the same time I assume the House will pass it but that remains to be s«?en.

Mr. and Mrs. James Sheble and children, James, Annalee and Sherry, all of Valier, Montana, were here Monday, looking over Cottage Grove and renewing ac quaintances of 25 years ago. The Sentinel of February 16, 1925 tells of Mr. Sheble being buried alive by a dynamite blast which oc curred Friday, February 13, 1925, at the Bandon hill near London while at work with Harry Elfving on the county road. The blast which covered Sheble with a foot of dirt and rock oc curred as he and his companion were tamping dirt in a 12 foot hole around the dynamite. Dyna mite placed in several other holes failed to explode, otherwise other workers might have been covered. Incidentally the acci<ient oc curred on Friday the 13th, but Mr. Sheble declared he did not know whether this was lucky or unlucky.

DONALD NELSON RECEIVES DEGREE Apparently the Administration has abandoned the idea of at tempting to pass the whole pack age of socialized medicine legis lation this year. It is still en deavoring, however, to get some portions of it passed piecemeal. In this connection it might be interesting to note that the Brit ish Minister of Health recently re ported that in its first full year of operation, the cost to the British treasury (U. S. money?) of Brit ain's medical plan was $17.65 for each man, woman and child—over and above the regular payroll con tributions. Just multiply that by 150 millions and you can figure for yourself what it would cost here if we were on the lower British income basis.
