Rose Bowl is
No Worry of
Trojans Now
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6. (JP)
The sports world scanned the foot
ball horizon- today and bussed
Rose tournament talk but South
ern California, probably the
West's leading candidate, stuck
his fingers in its ears and refused
to listen, let alone participate in
the discussion.
The Trojans are interested
enough in defending the West's
honor for the third consecutive
season but they nave too mucn
to worry about through the re
mainder of the schedule Stan
ford, Oregon, Notre Dame, Geor
gia and Washington without
raising their sights to January 1,
1934.
The situation is so serious Wil
lis D. Hunter, athletic director.
and Coach Howard Jones strike up
a defensive tune if there is even
an indication that the discussion
is apt to turn Rose Bowl way.
"Don't mention Rose tourna
ment around here," protest Hun
ter, Jones and the other officials
in unison. "We're not ready to
think about that New Tear's day
game."
The West seems more interest
ed, however, in the eligible east
ern candidates, with Army, Duke,
Princeton, Michigan, Purdue and
Nebraska most frequently men
tioned. Army probably would be first
choice if the political strings
could be pulled to' bring the cadets
west and provided Harvard, Penn
Military, Navy and Notre Dame
are beaten.

World Series
Andy Peterson, ace pitcher and
basketball star at Willamette uni
versity a few years ago who has
been playing professional baseball
in the east for the past season,
was in Salem yesterday. Peterson,
who returned to bis home in Mc
Minnville less than two weeks ago.
said he thought business condi
tions in the eastern part of the
country were- on the pickup and
were better than those in Oregon.
Although he was in Washing
ton, D. C, at the time of the
world aeries he did not see a
game; "I'd seen enough baseball"
wag his only comment, "and right
now I'd like a job."

Back Taxes Mount
But Marion County
Is Still Debt Free
X balance sheet forecasting the

shows that though the county
faces a tax delinquency roughly
estimated at around 1500,000, it
will, nevertheless go into the new
year free from either bonded or
warrant debt and with no other
indebtedness than current bills for
December. At that time it will
have an estimated 180,000 cash
reserve In its highway fund, along
with 170,000 Bet aside for the

valuable acres of downtown prop
erty without compensation, Henry
aVndevort, alderman, last night
demanded that the city attorney
see to U that the municipality re
ceive some compensation for the
property.
Vandevort made his demand
when the matter of a port dock
was before the council.
"How can the navigation com
pany guarantee rent on such a
property it it can't or doesn't pay
for the land it uses now?" Vande
vort inquired.
The city attorney was deputized
to investigate the status of the
water company's use of the river

Firsts Uatienal Bank Urges
Buying While Prices
Remain at Low Ebb
Cooperating with the merchants
ot Salem, Cue Salem branch of the
First .National Bank of Portland
will apensor v "Return to Better
Times" birying campaign here this
week, accer dTn g to J. . Ro
man, manager, in this campaign,
the bank, will -as large newspaper
apace to urge -oiL the citizens of
Ihis community the advantages
ot baying now while low prices
prevail in almost all lines of mer
chandise. "Many commodities are selling
today ait lower price -than most
of us have known before -In our
lifetimes," said E. B. Mac-
Nanghton, .president ot the First
National Bank' of Portland, recently,-
"and It certainly is down
right .coed common sense for people-to
-buy what they need or wish
while low prices continue. While
wO' regret that there are many of
us who hare "funds only tor the
bare necessities, we believe that
there are .many other Salem resi
dents who have funds and who
would -make purchases more free-;
ly if they had confidence in the
return of better times.
, "It may seem odd that a bank:
should urge people to spend
rather than to save, but we be
lieve that the most constructive
thing a financial institution can
do today is to urge that very
spending, so that its patrons may
obtain the unquestionable advan
tages of present conditions."
Mr. Roman believes that the
business outlook in Salem today is
more favorable than It has been
in years, and for that reason is
urging, buyers to grasp the bar
gains now within reach before pri
ces advance, as they are certain
to do within a short time, and as
trade activity is increased.
In commenting on the "Better
Times" campaign, Mr. Roman
stated that the First National
bank will depend principally on
newspapers to reach and Influence
the public.
County Pays Tax
Without Levying
Drawing on substantial cash
reserves built up in ntgnway
funds in good years, Marion
county yesterday remitted to
State Treasurer Holman $72,
738.40 as its full payment of the
last half of 1933 state taxes. No
millake was levied this year for
this payment, the county using
its surplus to protect taxpayers
from stiffer taxation. In 1934,
due to the shrinkage la the cash
reserves of this county, the state
tax will be reinstated. It is esti
mated this tax will be 1150.000
or about three mils on all real
property in the county. .
