Holman, state treasnrer," has issued a "white ' list" of hotels for theyse of state employes traveling; about the state on official business. This white list" as one might mppose is not one which lists' the hotels free from bed-bugs, or wherg the prohibition law; is observed and ice and ginger ale made bard to get. No indeed, the hotel list is composed ,-of the hotels which the snooper says will bed a tired traveler for the state at two dollars a flop, or less, it may be. . .' This does not mean that other hotels will not be equal ly considerate, but the white list is designed to herd the state employes into these particular-hotels. N We wonder why Holman's snooper didn't list the auto camps too. He might be able to squeeze a two-bit reduction in charges out of them, - Come to think of it, Hon. Holman, why riot fall for . sealed bids for furnishing hotel rooms and spare parts for transient state employes? Rooms could be classified by size, "exposure, length of bed, "color of the wall paper, and age of the-window curtains. Two more men could be employed to tabulate the bids and the honors could go to the, lowest and . worst bidder. It might even be thrown open to all compel tition so the widow who lives on south 24th street could rent her spare room to the state for fifty cents a night ' I, The snooper's white list leaves out many of. the fine hotels of the state. Some of them were never even asked to submit prices for rooms, and others weren't asked to offer cut-rates for state business. K . To feuch a pass has Holman's campaign for election to 1 office c$me. He would chisel down on the poor inn-keeper, break established room rent scales which now are as low as decency permits, so he can go out and shout from the house r tops how much money he has saved the taxpayers. ; ; T Taxes and Salaries HAVING succeeded in defeating the sales tax which was the most dependable source of additional revenue for the" federal government Representative LaGuardia of New York now announces that he is forming a coalition to defeat salary cuts. In other words haying gutted the bill to pro vide new revenue this New York socialist masquerading as , a republican proposes to keep government expenses at a high level by refusing to make any salary reductions. Vf That way lies bankruptcy. It is always the resort of pol iticians who try to make the world pleasant for their con stitjuenciesv Men like LaGuardia are deficient in arithmetic and .delight to live in a fool's paradise. They are eager to keep expenses high and eager to keep people from paying any taxes. ' "" - . Advocates of reduction in salaries do not do so to cripple government -service or to injure individual employes. But when wage cuts have oceurred in. almost every line of In- dustry it is silly to say that public service is immune, and should escape all the rigors of the financial winter which en v velorja the. world. - ' ' So far as the standard of no wage cuts have automatically had their living standards raised at the cost of other wage groups, including those out of employment. .

They wero Mary C. and Helen, the- last named be ing the younger. Helen was nev er married, and . she made , her home with her' step-mother, and outlived her, as will appear later. Mary C. Leslie was married to Seo. H. Jones of Salem, being his first wife. The lettering ' on her tombstone In the Odd Fellows' cemetery, Salem, reads: "Mary C wife of Geo. H. Jones, died April 29, 1867. aged 25." She left a daughter, Jenella J.. who grew up here and was one of the popular young ladles ot the cap ital city of olden days. V Jenella J. Jones was married to Gideon Parker, . eon of Hon. Samuel Parker, prominent In pio neer political and business life. Samuel Parker was keeping at the time or had been keeping the famous old Mansion House, - cor ner Liberty and Division streets, Salem.' Gideon Parker was ta the Indian service; had famous clerk ships In agencies In Idaho and elsewhere. - V - .:..- , The Bits man has Word that a daughter was born to the Park ers, in Idaho, that they named her Leslie, and that she died there. Also, that there was anoth er daughter, Beulah, that she was married and bad some children, and that the family Is living In Los Angeles. If this Is true, they are the last ot the David Leslie race, and, of course, do not bear the name of Leslie. Likely them will be some more Information on this point . in this column at a later time. . There was , a second Leslie daughter named Sarah.

The news article Bald her passing made a sad loss to many friends who had looked upon her with pride "for the past 40 years," adding that she was devoted Christian woman and it was her highest ambition to do some Christian act, to aid those in want, or to do some benevolent deed." She had been, the article said, one of the main teachers at the old mission 10 miles below Salem. In 1859, the article said. she and her husband (Rev.
