TUs- satlsfaction over the pay offered by the Linn county ccurt to mem bers of the crew who are clearing th right-of-way of the Santlam highway at Upper Soda is being expressed by some of the work men. Likewise other persons are commenting on the matter, with the result that it has become an absorbing tojic with many per sons. Some of the workers who have gone into the camp and have come out assert that after deduc tions are made for board and for Insurance, less than $1 a day is len ror their ramiiies. This com putation is based on the assump tion that the county Is chareine $1 for board. The members of the pnnrt nnlnt out that they are not chareinr SI for board, but are famishing the ooara at cost, ir the cost price ex ceeds il a day the county will absorb the excess. Tn 11 flrnra was given out as a maximum. If the food costs less the workman will be given the benefit of the difference. County Judge Woodworth esti mates that the actual cost may be about 80 cents a day. The county is keeping accurate figures on the cost item and will be able to tell after some experience, what the actual cost Is. Members of the court point out too that the Upper Soda camp is the only one that gives the work ers continuous employment. They say that the highway commission pays S3 a day to itn men, but that it elves each Individual nnlv one week's work each month. Linn county, they conclude. Is doing mucn netter by its unemployed than the state. On account of the issue the county is not finding it as easy to maintain a maximum force as it expected,. Recently the court sent out a call for 15 workers to re port at the courthouse, and only three responded. wo Here's a Suggestion!.' send The STATESMAN - lK A GIFT EVERy DAY OF THE YEAR!

Kellogg: "Western civilization cannot sur vive another such war but will go down Into universal chaos." The people, the common people, he declared pay the costs of wars. He pictured the "frightful cer tainty of what the next war will be murder." He described new gases, new weapons which were being evolved for coming con flict and threw out the question: "Is it civilization or jungle life and the Jungle code?"

"Why, I remember as a boy, way back, how the old folks in the fall used to pick and cure tobacco from a little patch they'd raised, and save out the best for their own smok ing. And my father fought all through the war, and lived to be ninety. "He'd certainly appre ciate what we get today, though.
