Party Advantage Secondary To National Welfare, Says McDuffie ; WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. (AP) The assertion that regard less of the causes and responsibil ity for existing distressing condi tions in the country,1 the leader ship of the democratic party "is more Interested In the national welfare . than In seeking : party advantage, was made today by Rep. McDuffie of Alabama. : "In this crisis," the assistant majority leader In the house said, "a broad national vision rather than a local or selfish one Is needed and democrats will, as they have in the past, put pa triotism above partisanship." McDuffie said he could not construe the statement of a group of democratic leaders and more recently by Jouett Shouse, chairman of 'the democratic na tional i executive committee, as being "in any wise Indicative or suggestive of an Inclination to shirk duty or to avoid a single responsibility". "Neither do I think the state ments were Intended to be apolo getic, for democrats never apol ogise for victory.' he said. "The leadership of our party is proud of, and will gladly seize the op portunity to serve the country. This they have done well fa the past. "In this time of nationwide distress, and trying conditions, of course, the leadership of the democratic party is more inter ested in the national welfare than in seeking party advantage. "Regardless of the responsi bility and the causes for these conditions, democrats are now, as they always have been, ready to urge and support every sound and constructive measure for the quickest possible relief." McDuffie said there are those who would have the American people believe the democratic party one of opposition, but an analysis of the record "clearly refutes such an unwarranted charge". "The last eighteen months," he explained, "hare at least dis sipated the myth the republican party is the guarantor of pros perity tor the American people," he added, saying conditions might be worse were It not for the federal reserre banking sys tem, set up by a democratic ad ministration.

Volynski said the Soviet gov ernment hoped to aid In raising the standard of living et the Russian peasant and laborer by providing more meats of better quality at cheaper prices.

' Incorporated towns and cities in Oregon on July 1, 1920, had bonds outstanding In the amount of ' $85,242,232.07 as compsred with S79.344.0S2.14 on July 1. 19 IS. according to a financial statement Issued here recently by T. B. Key, state treasurer. , ; This represents an Increase of approximately f 6.000,000. , The warrants outstanding on July 1, 1930, were only S2.425.0C9.86. as against $4,148,018.90 two years ago. The total debt, con sisting of bonds and warrants on July 1. 1930. was $87,757,902.92. as compared with $83,492,- 071.04 on the same date in 19ZS. During the two year period sink ins; funds had Increased . from $807.880.90 to $11,086,055.40. . Deduction of the aggregate sinking funds from the total In debtedness leaves a net debt on July 1, 1930, of 170.681,847.53 against an aggregate assessed valuation Of $532,842,079 as compared with a net debt of $74,684,218.14 and an assessed valuation- of $529,642,953 in 1928. The average ratio of indebted ness to assessed valuation on July 1. 1930, was 14.40 per cent compared with 14.10 per cent in 1928. Most of the increase in indebtedness was attributable to bond Issues of the larger cities such as Salem, Klamath Falls Eugene, Corvallls. and others In the same population classes. Portland Ratio Remains Static The bonded Indebtedness of the city of Portland on July 1 1930. was $49,389,125.13 ai compared with $45,201,706.01 on July 1. 1928. but during the two year period warrant Indebt edness was reduced from $2 222,464.12 to $486,122.36. This resulted in a total debt of $49,- 875,257.49 on July 1. 1930. compared with '$47,512,170.14 two years ago. An Increase In the sinking fund from $5,448,- 055.66 to $7,074,585.64 left the Indebtedness of the city at $42, 8u0.671.85 on July i, 1930. as compared with $42,065,114.48 on July 1 two years ago. The increase of the assessed valuation of the city from $342, 908.795 to f247.227.420 equal ized the Increase la lnebtedaess so that the debt ratio was virtu ally the same as It was two years ago. Cities that have made note worthy progress in the reduction of indebtedness during the past two years are Astoria. Baker, Bend, Dallas, Forest Grove, La Grande, Marshfleld, Newberg. Ontario, Pendleton, Seaside, 811 verton, 'The Dalles, Tillamook, Vernonla and some other smaller towns. The outstanding examples In debt reduction of the larger cities are Astoria and Bend. The city of Astoria reduced Its Indebtedness $198,814.35 and its warrant indebtedness $121. 260.40 during the two year per iod. The reduction Is not prop erly reflected In the debt ratio forjthe reason that the assessed valuation of the city declined ap proximately $500,000 during the same period. Bend and Astoria Make Redactions The city of Bend reduced Its bonded Indebtedness approxi mately $100,000 and Its warrant Indebtedness $11,000 during the two years. Its tax levy was re duced from 102.S mills to 88.6 mills. At the same time the city Increased its sinking fund from approximately $50,000 to $162,000. together with an In crease of $87,000 ' in assessed valuation.'
