Considerable economic water . has' poured . over the; dam . since 1 9 3 1. In that year a jrreat . sector oi people were-'"owners;' or iair- tests la power companies; rigid regulation and even public owner ship did: not appeal to them. But now a great bulk of these stock- ' holders are forgotten owners and - the desire to smack Is growing. Borne observers say the $5.000,- 900 hydroelectric bonding author ity Is only a prelude to a legis- latlTe demand for the state or at least for Multnomah county to go. m - uio me power ousmess. From Jthe standpoint of regula tion there is also legislation work' to he done: more money1 voted to hold up the hands of Commifl&ion er Thomas in his fight tor reduc tions, for reduction in operating expenses and for the striking out ef lnter-comoanv chances and ex- cesslve salaries. There is demand for superivislon and control of security issuance. The A. E. Peirie company's lobby at the 1931 leg islature has been exposed; when power comes up in 1933 the pass ports of the conservatives are to be carefully scrutinized. . The state corporation depart ment, coming out of a two year . fight to clean up stock selling in . Oregon and to restore faith to the saYlng8"and loan situation in the state, may be expected to hare itonedial legislation to introduce. The state banking department likewise will have a few measures for which it will seek legislative approval. One will probably be a law which will expedite the liq nidatlon of closed banks, allow ing a liberal proportion of the de posits Immediately to be made available through the assumption ef these deposits by a solvent in stitution. Higher Education Once More to Fore Did someone mention higher education? Ah, there is a spot, in deed which may demand legisla tive probing. The board of higher education is none too popular in the state. There have been fre quent reports that it would be abolished or reduced by 1933 leg islative action. There have been iS!? ft? lature would wipe the Salem of fice from the face of the educa tional picture.

I jreUUon and say the hoard is Incidentally some $317,000 of continuing appropriations for higher education in Oregon, ap proved each blennium for more than a decade, may also be under fire. The Norris amendment to the constitution the 19th to that venerable document will be be fore the legislature and is expect ed to receive quick endorsement. This resolution abolishes lame-' duck sessions of congress and provides for presidential inaugur ation the January following his election. Finally there is the question of relief. Who does not want it? The merchant wants relief from les sening gross sales, the farmer from mounting taxes, the laborer from wage cuts and unemploy ment, the banker from bond de faults, the school marm from tax payers' ruthlessness. But how shall relief come? Through a statv dole, disguised as relief "work"? From loans to needy people? From greater ap propriations to "service agen cies?" Through a legalized forc ing down of interest rates? From greater leniency in foreclosures? No one knows. The relief program will depend upon the pressure of organized un- mployed people, upon the . schemes and plans unknown and untried legislators bring to Sa lem. J The legislative show has the promise of a full 4 0-day s of stir. et comedy and of tragedy, for the legislature, new as it may he, mixed in viewpoint as It certainly la, is seeking to Improve eondi tkn for the great lute of Ore gon. In 1931 it will he presented with great need for Improvement and .a, complexlng variety of means to aenieve that goal. Farm Relieito Be Early Topic, -2 D. T , rr 1 sen.

This, too, is thanks to Yeats, who foandod the Abbey Players, now delighting New York aadiancas with their faitbfnl depiction of Irish Ufa, and developed them into what ia regarded as one of the finest aggregation of actors ia tho world. Yeats recently fennded the Irish Academy of Letters as an added incentive to the development of native talent. Among its most distinguished members are George Bernard Shaw and George William Rnsscll, batter known as "A- E." Ressell is well known in the United States, where be is a frequent visitor, bnt Shaw has still to make his first visit. The rales of Yeats' Irish Academy have drawn mncb criticism because ef a clause whereby oaly native-born writers who write of Irish life and characters are eligible for membership. However, there are associate memberships for writers of Irish descent, such as Eugene O'Neill, American dramatist, and Colonel JT. E. Lawrence, who wrote "Revolt in the Desert. Despite bis 67 years, Yeats is ruddy and vigorous, vehement for a poet, which may be ac counted for by the fact that he is also a statesman, having served in the Irish par bam at since its ucenuou.
