Eugene Rejects Scrip SOME agitators for scrip in Eugene worked up a case for the issuance of some form of local currency. The sub ject was debated quite extensively in the press of that city and a committee was appointed to make an investigation. Aft er a thorough study of the matter in the light of the local sit uation the committee rejected the proposal, though holding the idea in reserve in case changed conditions might make such an issuance advisable. The gist of their report is em braced in the following summary : "The so-called 'self-redeeming currency Is only another form of making contributions to public relief by a tax." "Tka claim of 'added business' through th use of such local token money is illusory and. . . no purchasing power can b created within tha community by the sacrifice of purchasing power on the part of some for the sake of putting buying power In the hands of others." "Under economical management and cooperation between city and county governments and the Red Cross, all pressing needs for reUef will be adequately cared for until spring." "If additional funds for unemployment relief work are needed. ... it is probable that an issue of scrip could be develop ed in some practical form." "Until we are convinced that the regularly constituted agencies of relief are falling in their functions, we should avoid .... issues of scrip which are bound to Involve confusion and complexities and losses to the very class that can afford least to bear them." There are cases where local scrip is helpful. Tenino used the method successfully, when its bank closed; but novelty gavt a special demand for their wooden money. There the fccrip had a backing in a reasonable percentage of the as set of the closed bank. So its redemption was quite certain. Other communities in similar situation are finding the lo cal scrip helpful. But where the scrip is issued without any backing there is no assurance that it will be redeemed and becomes no more than an i. o. u.

Nor would Wolfe kar felt eld Scene Shifting in Congress CONGRESS has a month to go, but nothing will get by ex cept appropriation bills. This session has been devoted to scene shifting. The republicans are packing their back drops and make-ups and will retire to change costume and become the villains of the drama after March 4th. The dem ocrats are contentious over the speaking parts, and get small help from Roosevelt who says, "Fine, fine, fine" to all and sundry who come to weep on his shoulder. No beer legislation will be enacted ; no prohibition re peal. The budget will go unbalanced. There will be "no new tax imposed; no currency inflation; no banking bill; no flashing of expenditures ; no farm relief bill. These pending matters make a special session imper ative. The new president will have to outline some specific recommendations and then get up enough steam to put his Ideas over. He will need to shoot his material at the spe cial session ; otherwise his party is apt to be split four ways before he is far along is his term. The ancient tool of patron age will have to be used by the president more than once to keep rebellious party members in line. The election was in November; the country has just been marking time waiting for the change. The Massie Case Again IfoEPORTS as yet unconfirmed indicate that the four Ha- LEV waiians still held under charges of assault on Mrs. Thomas Massie in Honolulu will be released as soon as the battle fleet sails from those waters. The news is of impor tance because if the evidence sustains the innocence of the jBUspects, then the poor native whom Massie slew in revenge !was likewise innocent People of this country worked themselves into a great hysteria over Lieut. Massie. High naval officers went as far as they dared to defend his enforcement of the unwritten law. The indication now is that instead of being a hero, Mas- e-ie is just another murderer, and the victim of his ven geance had done him and his wife's good name no wrong. The affair was sorry and sordid, reflecting no credit ton the white race; and the newest chapter, as yet unverified, ... . 11 T iJJ makes tne case even more depressing man ueiore. it mui The Safety Valve - - Letters from Statesman Readers BITS for BREAKFAST Bj B. J. HRNDRICKS- Independence, Oregoa, January SO, ItSt. To the Editor: Being as different ones hav expressed their opinion about th auto license fee, I would like to express mine too. The pric is far to high for the working class and th farm- era to pay. Wages ara low now and hav been for some time. Why not com down on license fees too? Put a tax on the gas, then let the ones who burn the most gas pay the tax. Seems to me that the one that want th license fee left as it is are probably able to pay it without difficulty. Ther are lots or cars standing on blocks now and th state Is not getting anything out of them. If th fee was lower they would be in use. We hav three cars. Two of them ar on blocks now and will continue so. Th present fe on these licenses are SIS. 00, SI 0.00 and $1S. 90. Th on bearing th ten dollar license is the on w ar using. Hoping you will publish this. and that tha legislature will wak up to th fact that the peopl of tha state voted them in hoping that they would get relief. Sincerely yours, A Reader of The Statesman.

Brown wrote: b 'They lived within their means. If they did well they speat thadr money liberally, and when they mad only a llttl they lived oa that llttl.
