We propose that this . committed include not only office-holders but citizens, after ."tho order of pur Oregon, budget' committees. National bud gets are made by office-holders, for office-holders. The tax paying citizens have no voice in he' matter at. all. True they may elect other men to office, but promises of economy ire ld)m fulfilled. " j . -v ' , . : . This suggestion corned with! greater force now that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has had a com mittee at work on the subject of federal expenditures. This cornmitteewas made up of eminent men in the field of - business and finance and public service. Its report has been submitted; which states in its conclusions r "We are of the opinion that American, business and the public generally should expect that congress will endeavor whole heartedly to determine the feasibility of a reduction of federal . expenditures brat least S500.000.000." The resident should avail himself of the services of some of the men on this committee, should select also repre sentatives of other large groups like farmers, wage-earn ers, professional people. The selections should . not come from the regular organizations because they have special axes to grind calling for big appropriations. Let a joint com- of the executive department draft a budget which will show cuts of a half-billion dollars. - OREGON PRODUCTS : OREGON PRODUCTS!

Much of this increase is due to the World war, interest on the debt and payments to veterans. But ordinary expenses of government departments have shown enormous increases. Every department is spending more than it did in 1923 except the interior department and the reason for the decrease there is the transfer of bureaus out of that department Here is a brief statement of the. increases in i government costs by dpartments for fiscal years: In Millions of dollars 113 12S 1931 Agriculture 20 12S 296 Commerce 11 21 61 Interior, ; 217 85S 71 Justice .1 10 21 44 Labor : 2 " Navy - 184 223 354 Postofflee : . 3 32 146 State 4 14 16 Treasury 62 277 295 Public debt service . 47 1,458 1,051 War . : 162 371 489 regulate the value thereof.

It is true the grist mm of Wm. McKlnney, not far away, on the Santlam river. They found the flour was black. front smut In the wheat, making if unpalltable, as all the early set tlers there bad discovered. Mr. Turner told Mr. McKlnney that he knew how to clean the wheat and get rid of the smut, thereby dis closing the fact that he millwright. Mr. McKlnney Imme diately told the new neighbor that he had the Job of getting rid of the smut, so as to make good. white flour, which was done. This led to a partnership of the men. which will appear later on. "o The Sharp family went on to Grand Prairie In Lane county. 'Herb" Sharp of Stayton is a grandson of the original John Sharp.

Sharp was a high class Salem dairyman, and his son "Herb" ran a milk route for his father. Growing out of the incident of installlnz the device to clean smutty wheat, H. L. Turner and Wm.

Mr. Turner, busy at his work; saw the messenger approaching and. before the man observed him. rushed forward with the words. Is anything wrong at hornet The members of the Turner fam ily were like that, very solicitous about the welfare of each other. The mill at MarysvUlo (Corvallis) was one of the first. If not the first of its kind erected that far south in Oregon. In the early days ot the state's settlement, grist mills were responsible for the starting of many vtowns. They were second, saw muls being first. in Oregon manufacturing on a considerable scale. By the early eighties, there were over 100 grist mills in Oregon. The town of Salem was started by the building in 1840 of the mission mUIs. a grist mm and saw mill under one roof. W S" The Salem Flouring Mills com pany, of which A. Bush was pre sident, by 1870 manufactured 15,000 to 16.000 barrels of flour monthly, and this flour took the lead in the markets of - Europe. That plant stood where the Salem paper mill stands now. Jo seph Watt, a Salem man, in 1868, sent the first full 'cargo of wheat to Liverpool, and thus in troduced to the foreign trade our Oregon grown staple. Wheat was used as a standard of valoaand medium of exchange, in theearty settlement of this state the first after bearer skins. - S m Nearly all the pioneer millers made good profits, and many of them grew wealthy, and the Tur ners were among the last named.

"Steve needn't ever know. If you're a wise girl, youll begin to plan the trip to Cuba right away." His sympathetic words seemed flavored with wisdom. Who else ia all the world would have made her such a generous offer? Still, it was almost unbelievable that Landers had become so considerate. It was a topsy-turvy world indeed t "Why do you make me this offer?" she asked, with a remnant of suspicion. "Because I doat want to see you unhappy.
