By SHELDON F. SACKETT
Political affairs la Oregon or
dinarily go vacationing In the
good old summer time and a
summer dullness hangs over the
capital and . its environs. Not so
Jn 1932. Salem has been pro
viding its own political circus in
the last fortnight and if it lacks
in size the appeal of Chicago or
Washington, D. C. the show is no
less Intense and has better acts
ahead.
Dominating the political tent
of late has been Ringmaster
Meier's attempt to make Secre
tary Hoss ran around the quar
terly-license circle, the governor
meanwhile perched atop Hoss
back. For two weeks the contro
versy has raged on with the gov
ernor apparently determined to
place all the blame on the se
cretary of state for spoiling the
former's new play to the gallery
Onlookers Believe
Meier is in Wrong
While no doubt the governor
has been sincere in his effort to
afford some relief to auto 11
cense players, non-partisan on
lookers feel he has applied his
whip too vigorously to. Hoss.
The latter has stood consistent
ly for enforcement of existing
laws on auto licensing, showing
meanwhile all the leniency the
attorney-general would permit
"Tiim.
Meier has shown contempt for
Hoss and his policies since the
ecretarv of state refused him
low numbers for his own car,
Falling to bent the secretary in
his latest emlbroglio. the gover
nor has tried to pass the blame
for failure of quarterly licenses
on to Hoss. where It does not
nronerlv belonir. Hoss on the
other hand has found it im
possible, either because of per
sonal antipathy to the governor
or inability to meet Meier at his
own game, to restore any of .the
harmony which marked the pre-
Meter boards of control.
Undoubtedly the license matter
will drag along through another
moratorium with 90 per cent of
the license fees paid by the end
of August and the- other autoists
putting their cars away until li
cense funds can be had.
Hons Not Opposed
To Providing Relief
Hoss In all his statements has
tried to make it plain that he is
not adverse' to relieving autoists
from tax payments. The politics
in this is apparent when Hoss
faces a race with Democrat Ray
Wlsecarver of McMinnville who.
by unofficial reports, has found
some favor with the Meier forces.
ThelHeir-Hoss tangle, however,
is by no means the main event of
the summer political show. The
big fight, in which Oregon pro
. poses to stage an educational civ
il wa, is the proposed merger
and moving of the University of
Oregon and the normal schools
at LaGrande and Ashland. There
is a scrap indeed!
With all the ballyhoo of a su
per snake charmer, the Marion
county-Portland backers of the
merger petitions, announced a
racketeering robbery of petitions
late July 4 in Portland. Where
on pleas were issued to citizens
throughout the state to redeem
the loss by a last-minute canvass
for needed merger petition sign
erg. In came the names until
29.000 had been obtained by the
closing date. ,
No "robbers" were ever lo
cated and a checkup by a press
association revealed ' that the
number of names allegedly stolen
was more than the total check In
all counties by the county clerks.
Nevertheless . the robbery story
did its work, and followed as it
was by professional news stories
on "armored cars" and machine-
gunned escorts, the publicity did
much to arouse the proponents of
a merger plan.
All Former Fights
To Take Back Seat
All the. figures of former years
over power, free speech, et al.
will seem dull compared to the
forthcoming one on education.
None of these former battles pro
poses to scrap toe principal in
dustrles , of three substantial
Oregon communities. None tread
ed on sentiment built up by half
a century of educational endea
vor at Eugene. Not since the
days of 192 2 when the Olcott-Hall-Pierce-Klan
and school bill
figbt rocked, the state has so
sharp an issue been raised.
Budget Director Hansen came
out with a statement during the
wee mat he was "going to keep
on siasnmg with his pruning
knife until Old Man Deficit would
be absolutely eliminated from the
1932-1912 budget for state In
come and ' expenses. ' Whereupon
he announced that several of the
state departments la the future
must stand without state appro
priations, that the state fair and
the International show at Port
land must go without state help;

WASHINGTON. July 9 (AP)
Official intimations that the
United States was willing to con

view of the new agreement sharp

payments met with stern pro
tests today on Capitol hill.
The expressions of resentment
continued despite a state depart

statement of June 20, 1921 which
opposed debt cancellation but
said capacity to pay should be

the debts.
Taking exception to published
reports that the state depart

ness to consider additional debt
curtailments, Senator McXellar
(D., Tenn.), Introduced a reso
lution asking the president If
this were true and if so by
what authority any government
representative was active In the
matter.
The resolution, which went
