Sellers,' However, Meet up
With law in Eugene;
Forced to Quit
-Astoria and Eugene hare both
been Inraded by "bootjaeker"
newspaper salesmen, : spreading
"extras of a meagre-sized Port
land tabloid, "exposing" Presi
dent Hoorer. The Astorlan-Radget
estimates that 000 citizens of
that community bought the papers
at fire cents each.
"Inrestigation revealed that the
'extra' was a postage-stamp tab
loid featuring an extremely brl;f
and poorly-written re-hash of
some of the anti-Hoover bologna
which has appeared in 'Mirrors of
Washington' and the 'Strange Ca
reer of President Hoover Under
Two Flags'," the Astoria paper
comments. C Izens there are ad
vised to look to their own news
paper for "extras" when extra
news arises and to avoid "uneat
able bologna at a nickel a slice."
The "extra" sellers who also ln
vaved Salem on Monday, and who
brought out the suggestion that an
ordinance prohibiting their activi
ties '- passed, fared more roughly
in Eugene. According to the News
there, these sellers did a thriving
business aboit halfway up through
the business district. There they
met members of the police force
who were ot as deaf to the Port
landers' racket aJ are members of
their home town force. At the po
lice station the visitors were in
formed that they were not to sell
their papers In either the business
or residence district which lim
ited their scope of activities in Eu
gene very materially. Further, the
"bootjackers" were told they were
to get out of town speedily and
without more noise."

CUING
imm
After 85 year, daring which its pink scdacUven.eM beckoned to the sookor after "the straight dope"
from every newsstand in the country, the glaoaorous Polk Gazette boa suspended publication. As
Kathleen Mavourneen put it, "It may bo for years and it may bo forever," ' bat the probability is that
the final curtain has been rung down upon tbo only magazine which was considered as essential to the
well-equipped barber shop as the shaving brush or razor. The Gazette was founded back in 1845 by
George Wilkes and Enoch Camp for the purpose of waging war on crime and crooked politics. In turn,
politicians and crooks attacked the crusading paper and several people were killed at eno time or
other during efforts towards its suppression. When it wasn't crusading, in those early days, the Gazette
went in for reporting love affairs, in a manner considered daring at the time, but which is bow regarded
as quaint. Criminals, burlesque queens, courtesans and playboys chased each other through its pages
in a colorful pageant and even up to its last issue it was vaguely reminiscent of the Mauve Decade. Tbo
decline of the Gazette is largely due to the world's changed views regarding bathing beauties, crime
and sex since the heyday of tbo old sheet. Then, too, the tabloids have come to stay,- featuring gossip
columns that were the life-blood of the old Gazette.
Layman said he and Knott
were driving a police "prowl" car
in the Ashland warehouse district
when Reed .nd an unidentified
companion stepped out from a
building corner and hailed them.
The officers stopped. Layman said,
and Reed and bis companion ap
proached the car and then sudden
ly Reed started shooting without
warning. Layman said Reed "did
all the shooting" and that he saw
him distinctly when he stepped In
to the glare of the police car spotlight.

OF
S
VIEWED
Whether it will be possible to
curb the expenditures of various
state boards, which operate by
means of fees collected from
members of the professions they
represent, is the question that
is being Investigated by W. W.
Ridehalgh, director ot state
transportation. Ridehalgh has a
desk in the state treasury de
partment. Ridehalgh's report will be filed
with Governor Meier and probab
ly will be the basis for proposed
legislation at the next session of
the Oregon legislature. These so-
aH4 self sustaining staU boards
art not required U ga bfor
the legislature, tor biennial ap
propriations, and their expendi
tures apparently are restricted
only by the amount of fees they
collect. Several attempts have
been made to place these boards
on a legislative budget system,
bnt without any degree ot suc
cess. Records show that in soma
eases these boards have paid as
much as S5o for the services of
a speaker at a convention, and
In other Instances the vouchers
for traveling expenses were said
to be unreasonable. Other al
leged extravagances In connec
tion with the conduct ot these
boards are under Investigation.
