DU HELD GOOD
Optimism for Future Seen
By Speaker at C. of C.
Luncheon Monday
Although statistics show that
production of walnuts will not
overrun consumption for another
25 years, considerable optimism
for the future of the nut Industry
In Oregon oyer the future in Cali
fornia, the greatest competitor,
was predicted by AV. G. Brown,
president of the wgetern nut grow
ers' association, in an address at
the chamber of commerce lunch
eon yesterday noon.
Oregon's worst competitor to
day is its own independent grow
ers and small co-ops. while Cali
fornia's two greatest advantages
are in its unified co-op marketing
association and in early harvest
ing which permits California nuts
to reach the eastern markets at
least two week3 ahead of Oregon.
Ofsetting this, Oregon growers
have a ray of hope in prediction
that they can permanently keep
production costs below those in
California, where the high price
of land, high cost of Irrigation
snd diminishing water supply,
unburn and codling moth all con
tribute to heavy production cost.

"J"T promises to be a busy day at
the capitol today, with the
possible decision on an extra
session of the legislature, follow
ing the governor's tax conferen
ces. Also there will be a board of
control meeting as well as several
other events to attract the Inter
est of the public. Yesterday it
was indeed quiet.
Governor Meier spent a busy
day in his Portland offices
during the day still battling
with the serious financial con
dition of the state. Whether or
not he will call a special ses
sion may be decided before
long. In the meantime the reg
ular session is scheduled to
start just five weeks from yesterday.
The superintendent of build
ings has his crew busy getting
the house and senate rooms, cloak
rooms-, committee rooms and a
thousand and one details taken
care of for the session of the
1933 legislature. In fact the crew
is so busy it apparently has for
gotten all about a Christmas tree
for t,he capital building. The lob
by still is bare.
It won't be long now before
the press gang will be moved
out of the press room into the
lobby to make room for the Ju
dicial committee. But the lobby
is apparently the press room
during the legislature, at least
it always has been, and there
will be plenty of typewriters
sounding off.
The broadcast of the ope; ' ig
session of the national cc-.
yesterday reminded one Ot the
world series or something if one
happened to be downtown.
Crowds around radio stations
were intent while the vote on the
repeal resolution was in prog
ress, and exclamations of both
disgust and pleasure were heard
when the defeat was announced.
DRUM CORPS STILL
HOPEFUL FOR TRIP
So it looks like nationally
there will be no beer by Christ
inas, which according to some
would rob some cheer from the
occasion. However, judging
from all Appearances, tho ac
tion of congress woud hare
made little difference as far as
having beer or any other li
quid refreshments was con
cerned much to the los of
law adherence.

LAST TIMES TODAY
And now they are mentioning
President Hoover for a Job as
president of Harvard university.
After being president of every
thing in the United States, It
must be a comedown to be pres
ident of a university. But if he
really needs the job, which is
doubted, he probably would do as
much good as head of the school
as any other they might select.
Tragedy struck at a Salem
home Sunday night with the
news that Miss Letha Drlscoll,.
32, was found dead at San.
Francisco. She was step
daughter of Sheriff Oscar Bow
er. Many Salem people remem
bered her as a beautiful girl.
Mrs. Florence Bell, one of the
capitol press gang, said they
attended school together and
that she was very pretty.
Miss Harriet C. Long, state 11
brarlan, will be hostess at i
luncheon today at which heads of
colleges and representatives of
state-wide organizations will be
present to discuss reading mat
ter. The purpose of the meeting is
to focus the reading of those now
unable 'to attend college along
some definite lines of develop
ment.
Henry Kern and John Mul
len, North Bend residents, were
visitors at the capitol yester
day on business. Henry Kern is
a pioneer of the Coos Bay coun
try, while Attorney John Mul
len was beaten out of a seat In
the house of representatives
this next year by the democra
tic wave in that county.
Listen in at radio station KOAC
at 7:30 tonight. You will hear
another reporter-speaker at that
time. A. L. Lindbeck will give a
talk on the county unit system of
education. It ought to be good,
because Al infers it himself when
he asked the newshounds to be
sure not to listen in at that time.
Representatives of approxi
mately 60 colleges and organi
zations will meet here today for
the purpose of disousslng a free
study and reading course In con
nection with the stat library.
The meeting was called oy
Miss Harriet Long, state librari
an. Miss Long said the demands
upon the state library had In
creased materially during the
past two years, and that hun
dreds of requests for books were
being received daily. Books deal
ing with practical subjects ap
pear to be the most attractive,
she declared.
Miss Long is especially inter
ested in providing a free read
ing course for young men and
women who, because of existing
financial conditions, have been
compelled to leave school.
She indicated that the course
could be provided without addi
tional expense to the state li
brary.

sumers' tax was said to have
been met by an equally organ
ized sentiment against return of
the property tax, some contend
ing that such a step would drain
counties of operating funds.
Conferees were said to have
recognized the real threat of a
referendum against a sales tax
should such a measure be adopt
ed by the legislature.
Frank J. Lonergan, speaker of
the 1931 house of represents
tives, and Charles Galloway of
the state tax commission were
