John Hunt and Ted Chambers, who were members of the committee repre senting taxpayers, were by no means rampageous or abusive. They disclaimed any personal feeling in the matter and dis played none; but they did manifest a sense of responsibility in seeking to hold down school costs i-Director Olinger appeared to resent scrutiny of the budget with a view to reductions as a reflection on the past management of the school board. This was entirely the wrong slant. If was not the past which was on trial; it was a study of what the district could afford for its educational budget for next year. The Salem school board ' has rendered good stewardship in holding down per pupil costs, but with a stead ily mounting warrant indebtedness and prospect of further tax delinquency assuredly it was the duty of the budget com mittee to weigh carefully every item submitted as a prospect ive cost for the ensuing year. Director Neer said that since the board had worked in preparing the budget he f elf called upon to defend it. If the board is.tcj prepare the preliminary budget, fight off any criticism' at the time the budget committee meets, and then " pass upon the work of its hands and declare it good at the final meeting, of what avail other than mere publicity is the holding of the-hearings and the calling in of non-board mem ber taxpayers?. t There were issues involved which properly called for an -expression of opinion from the general public The matter of scale of wages, of continuance of special departments, etc. are questions on which the board should welcome the views of other members of the budget committee and citizens gen erally without being caustic or abusive of those who decently express their opinions. ' M The significant facts about the school budget as adopted are that while the total shows a reduction of 4.7, the amount to be raiser! by taxation is practically 6 more. Moreover while allowances are made in the estimates for in direct receipts for tax delinquencies no allowance is made for any delinquency in the direct tax which would be similarly r affected, v. - f ' . 1 , The board in the past has succeeded in holding its oper ating costs at .a low level. It has reduced outstanding bonds from a peak of $430,900 in June, 1927 to $205,000 in June, 1931 and to $158,000 at the present time. At the same time the floating note or warrant debt has increased from $46, 500 in June 1927 to $128,000 in June, 1931 and to $182,420, at the present time. - . It is this current deb which if it continues increasing may cause embarrassment When banks get all the school warrants they want and stop to be hawked about and sold at a discount. Many districts are having just this trouble at the present time. Salem would be in this position too were it not for the strong condition of local financial institutions. ; t . If one could tell the trend of business in the next year or two he could tell quickly whether the city couki continue to pay out oyer $400,000 a year on its school system. We do Sot like to say "cut teachers' salaries" when they have been w in comparison with other cities and states. It ts perfectly dear however that there can be no marked reduction unless wages are reduced, when over 65 of the total budget goes for personal services. But "we think board members take a wrong attitude when they get their dander up when budget members of their own choosing courteously raise that ques tion at a meeting presumably called for that purpose. . "Here s Your Bag" CiQ Coach "Doc" Spears is goinir to Wisconsin after alL O Twice he renounced the accepted. Perhaps it was a matter, of etiquette, like the cus tom of the Chinese In rejecting the tender of the crown. May be it was mere jockeying for a better deal from Wisconsin. Maybe it was just final yielding.to importunities or to "op portunities". Whatever the cause for the vacillation, it Is all settled now and -Coach Spears is going. - We could never understand why he haggled so and de layed accepting the tender. Spears was just out of place in Oregon, and threatened with submergence as a big-time lum inary in-the field of sport. He suffered the handicap of be ing overrated and overtouted. And his enormous salary left a sour taste in the mouths of dollar-wise Oregdnians. ; ? His treatment of university sport fan has been rather shabby, after all they have done to make his residence here agreeablerand after he had twice given assurances that Wis consin could not lure him from his new Oregon love.' The dig , Spears gives At the board of higher education is a poor "out" because his contract has three years to run, and no changes were in sight to affect "his status under that contract v Spears will be more at home in the- middle west where he is well known, where he knows his way about, where he has a large school and probably a larger athletic fund to work with. He will be where his competition is more nearly in his class. That Oregon's hiring of Spears was a bit lop-sided is revealed by the report that the university will not seek to engage another big-time coach but probably will promote either Bill Reinhart or Prink Callison. So considering the matter, large and by, Oregon may say to the famed Speaiv-Here's your bag; what's your hurry?" LAGuardia resented aa a slur eral Martin, .Portland's fighting representative in congress, that he was socialistic He certainly is; and if he were being a socialist Is not personally discreditable.

As leader ot the largest fol lowing of the immigration of 1844. Gilliam was bv nature and prejudice most Intensely opposed to British rule in Oregon. ... To settle Oregon as ' cltlsens of the United States was a prevailing sentiment among those who came before the year of the Whitman massacre. . . . To say that to save Oregon as rightful territory of the United States Is too high a mo tive to be ascribed to the early pioneer home builders who cross ed the plains and mountains to Oregon, between 1141 and 1847.1s unjust.

"Mary I" The face turned on the pillow toward her. He might have been dreaming from his tone. "What are yon doing here I" She dosed the door' behind her then took a chair beside the bed, but she made no move to, touch him.
