The body of Baroness , von Wleee is found in the garden of Eagle's Nest, Emily Hardy's pala tial country home,: wrapped la Mary Frost's shawl. Preceding her murder, the Baroness had gtv en a note to the butler. This he denies. She had also quarreled with- her maid. Mary Frost, re turning for her shawl, at mid night, taw it on Laura Allan. Laura; however, claims -Mary en tered the garden wearing the shawl. "Bim" Martin, young newspaper reporter, fiancee ot As sistant Police Chief Walter Vance, learns Laura was responsible tor the .broken engagement tf her owb sister aad Ted Frost, Mary's husband. Ted had also" flirted with the Baroness. Bim" ob serrlna'the butler dancing, won ders about him. She learqs from Carl Carey, New Tork, reporter. that the Baroness was Margot Belle, famous dancer. The sup posed atolea Jewels of the Baron ess are found In the. Baron's care. Vance thinks Ted Preet may have commuted the erlsae - mistaking the Baroness for his-wife of whom he Is Jealous. Although Ted and Mary Frost left Eagle's Nest sep arately before midnight, they ar rive home together at 4 a.m. Vane finds s pair of dusty slip pers on the roof.

She, just 18, a-girl who ought to be finishing high j school, is in jail, Pearl took a course in; real life; it was short, two husbands and a crook; and she is still only 18. One wonders what the succeeding .chapters will be, - for , Pearl will soon be out of jail or prison if she does go there. The fellow Wheeler, her companion, i was only 22, a grandson of pioneers, it was .said. About all the girl knew f about him was that he had served a penitentiary sentence. He was from Lebanon and she from Waterloo, an ex-town up the Santiam. They didn't get far away to get in trouble, only the suburbs of Portland.. j You wonder sometimes where they come from, :these boys and girls who set out in'crime. Usually we think they come from a big. city. This pair came from rural communi ties. The cases would afford interesting studies in heredity and environment. We may surmise what ; the investigation " would show, -lack of parental control, steppingjout to taste life, perhaps skirting the edge of crime before plunging J A- XL.

The man she was with is dead, killed by the man he and she had circulation to perform the duties eijiecieu ut n. x nsi is eviaeni by the fact that this country was never richer , than now, neither was It ever burdened with as much unemployment and. dis tress." We witness a spectacle-of farma over-supplied, with food for which there- is no market, and on the other hand tea million people clamoring tor this same food. The only reason that t know of. why these two . elements of our society cannot' get -together la the. lack of the medium ot ex change which Is money. Thai to tal wealth of the state of Oregon is about three billion dollars, while the money in circulation Is not in excess of fifty million, or less than two per cent of our total wealth. Ton can see, there fore, that It would be possible, if this fifty million dollars which is all the money we have In circula tion, was to be taken out of the state- that V would bo bankrupt and would starve.; In spite ot the fact that 98 per cent, of our wealth would stni remain In our hands. ' . - " Insofar as the security back of thia money would be concerned, there could be none better, for when we reach the place. If we ever do, when a c t , per cent mortgage on ; improved real' estate- is not security, then there will bo-no security, no credit and no wealth in the state. This currency thus guaranteed and discount prohibited by law as provided In my bill, would la the course of ten years save, to the borrower In interest alone. . an amount equal, to the mortgage. The ordinary loan carries an ln terest rate of approximately eight per cent. Over a period of ten years this would i equal 89 Pr cent of the loan ; and , rt it were , compounded It would" be n?2T ,aft- er enl of. the loan. ; The total cost to the borrower under my bUl would be only four percent for the entire period- f ten years which would leate a net of tf per cent to credit oft the mortgaged For ex ampler we will sav a Ia.. m.r ai 000 Is nrado for aperloa et frvrt J ' vr my BUI tins vonU Th e Safety j - aive - - Letters from Statesman geadera 7 V To The Editor: - 1 was very much pleased with the editorial written by you in which you discussed Senate Bill Na. 2 ft.

Now, Mr. .Editor, I am very thankful for. the publicity you gave this bllL Your' reaction to It was natural and to be expect ed, as - on first glance It dees seem ridiculous, yet,' upon reflec tion It becomes mora or less real and feasible.: To begin with let ma say that . th world is a changed place " ,' - i- ' - ..-- r- from what It was whenever the monetary system was established. Our demands were- modest. We are now living in a highly moder nised ago- wherein business and government hare become mora or less complicated. Our trans portation system has become rev olutionised; our mode of. doing business has also been revolu tionised. The only , thing that has not progressed has been our money system. In the beginning money was Invented to be used merely aa a medium of exchange and waa mora or less in proper tion to our wealth and our de mands. . in i the early periods money had te perform the errand only et unnla- to the grocery atort for. food and the clothing atere for clothing. ; It is .much different now. - This money must not only perform, the errand of food and clothing but It must purchase: automobiles, radios, high priced furniture and a hun dred and oa 0 other luxuries un dreamed of la- years gone by; A likely .comparison would 00 a Prson-trying to operate a high powered " modern eight-cylinder uivmooue- on a quart of. oil woicb yresiLX for the entire period, whereas the ordinary loan at S per cent would cost 1400, leaving a net gain to the, borrower of $380, and If this were compounded it would exceed $380. The enactment of this law wouia tnererore eliminate any mortgage that it would come In contact with within the period of ten years. :. Something of this kind wUl have to be done sooner or later whether by the federal govern ment or by the states. An edi torial . in the Journal known as ."The Business Week"of Febru ary It, 1931, published by the MeGraw-Hill Publishing company Contains the following: ' . ... But here again, as la the case of public support ot the unemployed, the sound objec tions to the gorernment's going into the 'banking business are likely to "be greatly weakened in public opinion if private financial institutions are not able or will ing to proride needed monetary facilities to all solvent borrowers at a price they are able to pay. "It seems to be Inescapable that whero private business does not do something that is neces sary, government will sooner or later be forced to do it whether we like it or not. We don't like it. and we wish business didn't like a a little harder, too." V Ton wiU see by this that some thing of this kind is being given serious coaslderatloa by the lead ing thinkers of the country and this Mil, although I am willing to grant you, sounds moreof less foolish and ridiculous,1 yet it is no more so than would hare been the statement some few . years ago . that we some day would be able to -hear a " human voice around the world or that an aero plane would make a non-stop f Ught . from New York to Paris.- Thanking yon for the publicity you have given this bill and for the privilege you have extended me in answering- the same, I am : Very, respeetfally yours.

As the title' of 'Indian slaves was rather a ' haty one, and as the bonds were ' anything but severe, and the Chil dren of the forest were proverb ially laky and shiftless, they were scarcely worth their keep. The reader will recall that William Cox went to the Cali fornia mines with, the initial crowds of the grand rush of 1248 and that he secured gold dust to the value of several, thousands of dollars, part of which he brought home and the rest of Which he expended In buying a large stock of goods-In San Francisco for the Salem store, and that after' his return home Thomas Cox retired from the active management of the business; turned it over to his son William and4 Mr. Turner Crump.
