Led by the recalcitrant Norris of Nebraska "the coalition of republican guerillas and democratic gorillas attached the ex port debenture program to the pending tariff bill. This ex port debenture provision had previously been annexed to the farm relief bill by the same combination of insurgents and democrats. The house forced its elimination from the farm relief bill. At that time threat was made that it would be tacked on to the tariff bin, and the. group made good on the threat. . . The debenture provision is the old export bounty plan which has been urged by the national grange. It would em power the farm board to issue debentures to exporters of farm products In an amount up to one-half of the tariff on such products. These debentures would be acceptable in payment of customs duties and under the Norris provision would be redeemed by the U. S. treasurer at 98. - There is no question about what the fate of the debent ure-provision will be. The house rejected it decisively before, and will do so probably more sharply at this time. Should the tariff bill reach the president with the debenture pro vision m it, a veto would be promptly forthcoming. The pur rtnsff of thp move i4ilain.

J The chances of any tariff legislation at all grow exceed ingly dubious. President Hoover is none too friendly to the measure, and unless the senate bill is radically modified it will be vetoed even if it should pass. The prospect of the passage of any bill at all is slim. The gulf between the house and the senate is too deep to be bridged with a few friendly compromises.

Judson: Former Governor Geer in his book, as related in this column last Saturday, said Wm. Waldo told him when he came in 1843 he found Mr. Judson threshing wheat by tramping it with oxen in what is now down town Sa lem; that he had oats growing in what is now Willson avenue, and that Mr. Judson's house stood where Reed's opera house (now the Miller store) was buflt The Bits man disputed the statement concurred in bv the two houses durincr the special session: about the location of the Judson mnA if tariff TrmVino- o-r far intn tVio rpciilar sposinn -the . house.

The lat was rec orded in a new book May 13. 1871, by A. B. Casper, recorder, by O. J. Carr, deputy. The Salem plat was also recorded, at the same time. The Salem plat, dedi cated by W. H. Willson, contained 65 blocks, which were described In this column a number of weeks ago. There was another platting of Salem that was called Salem, and saved the British flag from float ing over part if not all of the old Oregon Country; and In tact prob ably prevented the British govern ment from getting not only all of tne old Oregon Country but also all or the rest of the Pacific coast, ztending to the present Mexican line.) o o J OTHER EDITORS For our part we question if the country will be any bet-1 n grist mUla and the Jason J not addition to saftm.

Ot course Floyd has. a right to all of his views and a lot of peo ple are with him in supporting jack Day. But the strange thing presents itself when the "Mexican Gener als' line up so energetically for Day, who is not a Legion man. We thought the Legion was in clined to support their own mem bers and were preparing to make Oregon officialdom one hundred per cent Legion. A lot of us would Uke to heln them do it. It is hard to join the procession though when able fellows like Floyd Cook, an admitted leader of the Legion, comes out support ing Jack Day, who is not a Legion man.

General reader Interest will not foUow him. The writer must keen his sense of proportions and he must diversify. So when the! editorial writer aits down before his typewriter and stares at a sheet of white paper before him he may be thinking about some thing that would readily produce sound article, but at the same time ho may have no idea that wUl produce an article that wm be much read or cared about by anybody. Every editorial writer has his good days and his poor ones. Sometimes Ideas come readily and at others they halt and balk, but necessity drives always. The col umn must be filled, day by flay and every day. Whether genius burns or flickers: whether insptr atlon is ready or laggard, the writer for tho daily newspaper must write.
