The car dinal secretary : of state warmly welcomed the premier to the' old papal .residence, while Mussolini showed particular attention to th venerable prelate .by bidding him , sit while the text of the accord was read. jj- - - ' - Cardinal Leaves Bed " . - Cardinal Gasparri left his bed where . he : had been confined by grippe since Saturday and braved the chilly and sunless weather in order, that he might attend' the ceremony which was the crowning act or Ms entire diplomatic ca reer. Premier Mussolini did all he could to soften" the rigors of . the physical ordeal. Just as the signatories were wielding the , gold quill pen, the chimes of St.. John lateraa pealed out as If for Christmas midnight and a throng of theological stud ents grouped In the court yard be low broke-into the strains of-a te deum.

State Treasurer Kay said the state purchasing agency would ex ' pen d. within the next two years approximately $7,000,000. He said this was no small undertaking'and required the serrices of an able : director and a well trained organ- Ization. . V " "The budget department should ; not be consolidated with the state i purchasing department' said Mr. Kay. "If this was done you would f have no check and the official In ' charge of the two functions could fix the budget to suit himself. In consolidating these two depart ments you would destroy an or v ganlzation . which It has taken years-to perfect without any sav ' ing to the taxpayers." - Consolidation of the budget de- ' partment and purchasing; agency under , the state board of control, v was .proposed by Representative Kubll. e "It was my first thought." said Kubli. "that the two departments t should be consolidated under the supervision of the governor, but I recently decided that this would - not be practical. It would not be jrood business to have the man who makes, the budget check the budget, so I now propose that the two departments shall be consol idated under the, state board .of - control.

At-last a real mathematician has figured out Just' how much this legislative process of the statu of Oregon costs. The charge to the groaning tax payer is just $12 a minute. It is declared bjr Repre sentatives Wilkes, of 13-month calendar fame. This shot was hurl ed during a debate Monday morn ing, which Mr. Wilkes considered a mere waste of time, and at $12 a minute, a waste of money also. A few more dollars may be-j available for expenditure by those who handle the taxpayers dollars if H. B. 469 and H. B. 421 pass. The first measure, introduced by Representative Brlggs,: would al low counties, school- districts and municipalities to invest their sur plus funds in securities, which would yield a higher rate than the two 'percent now received from banking institutions. C. W. Rob- ison in his measure would in crease the rate of interest paid on deposits of moneys from two to three per cent.
