J "Whenever the expenses! of any fiscal year shall exceed the - Income, the legislative assembly -shall provide for levying a tax for the ensuing fiscal year.! snfficient with other sources of In come to pay the deficiency as well as the estimated expense of the ensuing fiscal year." ! l Governor Norblad in his message and Governor Meier In his inaugural called this to the attention of the t legis lature. There is a serious; question whether this section of the original constitution is nullified through the adoption of the six per cent limitation amendment, and only the courts could decide that. " But the legislature must study the fiscal needs of the state treasuryr The purported deficit on Dec. 31 last in the state general fund was $3091,175.10. If the budget is voted as recommended by! the governor and nothing more is add ed, then the deficit two years hence will be $4,032,046.27. Thus we seem to be going backwards in our state finances. There are two solutions, one to curtail experulitures7 the other to levy some special tax under the section quoted a general property; tfix it would need to be, to put the state on its feet again, i i ; i This continuing deficit works to impair the credit of the state. The modern test of sound practice in public fi nancing is to have the budget balance, with ample income to meet all expense. Oregon cannot afford to spend without stint and without regard to a day of reckoning. The duty of the legislature is plain: either cut ex penses to come within estimated receipts; or provide some method of raising the sums required. j ' Old Names ruHE steadv march of! railway consolidation has done A away with many of the old played a prominent part in our national development. Re cently the Chicago & Alton Toad, known familiarly as the "Alton," was knocked down at sheriff s sale to 'trie. .Balti more & Ohio. Defore long it will probably be made a divi sion! of the B. & 0., and the historic "Alton" road will lose its individuality. l The name j" Alton" had meaning in those days when roads were being built out from Chicago. Alton was a thriv inr: city on the Mississippi above St. Louis, and the natural goal for a road thrust southwest from Chicago. It passed through Springfield. Lincoln was its counsel, road over it to Washington, and came back, a corpse, in the famous funer al train. Though the city of Alton lost its relative import ance in the more rapid rise of other mid-western cities, the name stuck to.the railroad. i Other common names of railroads date from the per iod of railroad 'expansion in the middle of the last century. Thus; "Rock Island," "Burlington," "St. Paul." "Santa Fe" we names now better known as applied to railroads than to the cJties, save' St .Paul j The first three were like Alton, river; cities of some importance and the rails reached out , toward them from Chicago in the 50's. j Who now would name a 12,000 mile system the "Atchi on, Topeka & Santa Fe!? Yet Atchison was once a very important point on , the Missouri opposite St. Joseph and Santa Fe was the name of the old southwest trail and city. The names persist thughi Atchison and Santa Fe are now of comparatively j little importance to the system which stretches from; Chicago to San Francisco. ... , ,j, . , !j Minnesota's Gag Law THE state which needs "freedom of speech" education is Minnesota. A recent legislature gave to judges arbitrary powers of preventing publications of newspapers if they contained or might contain what the judge was free to brand as libelous or defamatory matter. The statute has provoked an uprising among newspaper people because of the opportunities for its; abuse. The new farmer-labor governor, Floyd B. Olson (who , wouldn't win in Minnesota with a name like that?) urge3 I repeal of the law and said in his inaugural : "The freedom of speech' and the press should remain Invio late, and any law which, constitutes an entering wedge Into that inviolability Is unsafe." In Oregon! no one urges any new laws on the subject or repeal of offensive ones. The constitution provides for free speech as a right of man, but that the individual is "responsible for the abuse of that right." Freedom of speech and abuse of the right of freedom of speech are dis tinct things, though judges, officials and the public some times confuse the two1J What gets our goat Is to read some b!g banker back east say - In commenting upon a number of bank failures that "now the sit. atlon la Improved."

Erery parent knows that tho growing child neefls milk. But many mothers are nearly in de spair because their children re fuse to " drink it. ; What can be done to entice the youngsters to drink: their quart; of milk? . Well, dear mothers, you hare many fVc i y yon can always 1 Vr nd me tac- I 4CV tics that will V 0v work.! Perhaps Akl.m. lint 11 " ali i 1 : too arrea with DQGDPELAN& me it la wise to meet the .i child's whims or peculiarities in taste, if it is possible. The desired end will be brought about in a more com fortable way than : by nagging him. or trying- to force him into doing something he does not want to. ! The Ideal way to get sufficient of this most nearly perfect food Is Jy taking it in! its natural state, as a beverage. But if a child or an adult, takes a dis like for milk as a drink, there are many ways in which the re quired amount can be given. It may be used in preparing dishes which make up a varied and de lightful diet. There is nothing more appeal ing! in cold weather than deli cious hot soups made with milk. Almost all vegetables can be us ed,;! first cooking them and sar inp the water in which: they are boiled. Then they are diced and chopped finely, with milk as the real foundation. Make up soups from your child's favorite vege tables and see what effect they will have. OVster soup, made with milk; clam or fish chowder made with it, are moat nutritious and. ap pealing to the palate. Corn chow der is delicious when made withJ milk,. a bit of onion, butter and salt. If you make these soups with whole milk, you are giving your family a short cut to health. You are giving your boy and girl the valuable proteins, vita mins and minerals found in the milk, vegetables and sea food. Right here let me say that the best milk is not toogood for every member of your family. N matter what Its price, good milk is never an extravagance. Butylmr one quart of Grade A milk for each child and one pint for each adult in your family every day. sounds like an ex pensive program perhaps. Hut milk maintains health. By giv ing It you are helping to save doctors' bills. It is a program tlult will help you to corns out ahead on the expense side. There aro many delicious milk drinks, too cocoa, malted milk and milk shaken, flavored to the child's taste. By adding cboco lat'o they are nvado more nutri tious. Most children adore Ice cream. Why not have your own lea cream freezer and make your own delicious Ice cream desserts for the family? You are sure of the best ingredients and made with custard of whole milk noth ing is more nutritious for a des sert. It is necessary that we have a varied diet. It must be one in which are Included all the prop er; food elements necessary for growth and development. There Is no better way to secure It than to make milk the foundation of your meals. Grown-ups, as well asj the children, need it, and it should never be absent from the table, even for a day'. Answers to Health Queries E.A.N. Q. How can I reduce? A.

She'll take back that first statement now. No use having a scandal: for nothing." "Darn her and her scandal. What's 'jttiat to you? I want to get you; to a doctor!"

He had collapsed aaln. ,, So sjjlm and Pete went on with the, woman and MacKlmmons sat down to wait in the dark with his friend. Slim; Palmer telephoned his re port. ! He did it seriously and carefully. A visitor to Yosemlte National park had met his death on a trail above the valley. An other had been seriously injured. And a ranger, coming to their roscue, had been hurt, perhaps fatally.! He took care to- eay that warnings had been posted, and the trail marked impassable. He dldnt want anyone to get inJteii you " wrong, wronr. i When that was done, and a doctor ; summoned, he began to feel pleasurably excited. After all, there wasn't much excite ment up there in the mountains.' He foresaw that this would give him something- to talk about for months. A aleepy telegraph operator thumped out the news . . .

As she turned In at the gate she thought complacently, "I'm glad I made Nancy break off with him. It ! was perfectly Innocent, of course, but I'd hate to have him die with a note from her In his pocket, or anything- like that . . a young- girl can't be too care ful!"! Mama took oft her hat. and fluffed her hair mechanically. There was a glint of excitement In her faded eyes. "Well, Ellie Is about the same as usual," she began,, when she had unfolded her napkin and taken h j place at the table. She was going to lead up to the nsws gradually. ,i And then she saw their faces, all, bright 1 and self-conscious. They had news ... something had i happened . . , they had'nt told f her.

Burkhart of the Tarkhurst bank. "Being Incapacitated myself, and more or less confined to the house, I was forced to leave the details to Burkhart. Burkhart himself had stock in Clant Cali fornia and Southwestern. He us ed the channels at hls-disposal to run this thing down, and we discovered that they had indeed found the oil on mother's land." "It'e wonderful, Peter, but how did you find out?" "Oh, business men are pre pared for trickery of that eort. If I had known earlier It would have been even simpler. But as It was, Burkhart and I did all that was necessary." He beamed at his mother. At all his women. A large; j expansive smile. "And Mrs. -Hollenbeck owns an oil well," Kitty quivered. "No, no how could mother finance such a thing? But as I say, Burkhart and I, with our influence in banking and finan cial circlos, discovered the truth and you might say called the bluff. For a consideration, my good friend Oliver Lachman, cleared the Indebtedness and saw. to it that the property was le gally in mother's name. We then closed with a reputable concern. a very reputable concern whose name you all know, and will recognize, as soon as I am at ljberty to disclose It." "Peter toll me!" Papa shook his head.
