Oregon is littered with the wrecks of port and dock dis
tricts. In many respects they have served chiefly as. new
vehicles for burdening communities with debt to dredge suty
harbors in hopes of making them new San Pedros.
A port district creates a new municipal corporation
with taxing powers. Its. board of directors can levy up to
10 nulls on the property in the district. It can issue $25,000 she, as the case may be:

r The Oregonian rasps at Secretary Jckes because he had nerve
eaovgn to tell Oregon s congressman to get his feet out of the
trough. The secretary is right in saying Oregon had already got
ten a big chunk out of the public treasury. From the standpoint of
population, wealth and tax payments, Oregon can't talk at Wash
ington, only whisper. McNary does serve as an amplifier however.

. England has some great economists; but they are too dumb for
those now shuffling cards in the new deck. Sir A. M. Samuel, some
time rated as a British currency expert, has gotten tired tellinr neo-
pie he doesn't. know what the Roosevelt gold buying plan is. Now
he hands Tisited a card with, this printing en it: "I do not under
stand thet Roosevelt plan. Nor does Mr. Roosevelt. Please do hot ask
me to explain it. Ask the brainstorm trust." Sir Samuel is no dif
ferent from most Americans.
Rep. Oleen of Columbia county proposes a two per cent sur
tax in aid of public schools. Coming from Oleen the probable pur
pose 1s not to help the schools but to get the last dimes from those
who have as income left. Let the citizens of Oregon wait till they
get their income tax blanks with rates upped by the last legislature.
They. will think they have been slugged over the head la the dark.

- CHAPTER FIFTY-NOUS! :
Then all ot a sodden a big noise
itartad outside and .Mom knew tho
kids had found out hbeat' It .and
started te serenades and half the
town heard the noiM and started
to gather around; so Tommy
slipped oat and got into-Pete's car
aad started down the street and
the kids ran after him but they
couldn't keep np and Mom didnt
know what he was up to until Dor
othy earns in and whispered to her
and Jaom supped oat to the back;
and there Tom had the car in the
alley and Pete and Steve just had
tune to tass Horn goodbye In
hurry and get started before the
kids came around with their dish
pans beating and Tom gave the
Jenkins boy five dollars to split np
among the gang and they went off,
all ox them holding on to him and
yelling; and before Mom knew it
the little green car was gone with
Steve waving goodbye and in one
. way Mom was glad it had happened
: so quickly.
And as they were coming back
into the - house Mom saw Florrie
Johnson standing kind of lonesome
on the back porch all by herself
' because she knew the way Mom felt
about her; so Mom invited her over
and the quick way she came and
the happy smile she had made Mom
glad she had done it. The poor thing
had her faults but maybe she'd
never get that close to a wedding
again although yon never could
tell, sometimes they settled down
and made real good wives.
And who was coming in the front
door, dragging his little trunk he
had had since Mora was a little
girl, and looking like the whole
world was against him, but Uncle
Louie; he didn't even look at her
- -nor anybody lse but went right up
. the' Wps, pulling the little' te-rik
after "hitrJf and she heard the door
slam and she knew the next time
Uncle Louie left that house for
good they would carry him out
which Mom hoped would be a long
time as the poor old fellow had had
a hard time what with nobody to
understand him or sympathize with
him; and Mom thought it was too
bad a lot of other men who were
too selfish to get married when
they were young couldn't see him
now and then maybe they'd
that women weren't so bad after
alL
Mom turned and there was Pop,
looking up the stairs, too. She was
afraid he was going to say some
thing in front of everybody but all
at did was shake his head and smile
s little bit and say: "I see the star
boarder is back.' Then be yelled
up the steps: "Hey Bryan, come
on downwe're going to have
sonvention." And Mom thought he
was kind of glad, in one way, Louie
was back because they were a kind
)f company for each other. Then
Pop started for the door and Mom
asked where he was going but he
fust winked and held his finger up
for her to wait and she knew he
was up to something. Well, nobody
uld ever say Pop was henpecked.
In the front room, where the
women were. Mom saw a funny
thing going on. Cousin Emmy had
he floor and Mrs. Johnson and Mrs.
Flannigan were just holding their
"ireath waiting for a chance to get
i word in edgtways and Dorothy

-I suppose it'll be you two next?- remarked Mrs. JFlanaigaa
te Ton and Dorothy.
was sitting, trying to be nice, but
Mom noticed she wasnt looking at
Florrie 'Johnson but that Florrie
was watching Dorothy all the time
and never taking her eyes off her,
like she was some strange kind of
a person , Florrie had never seen
before. Tommy was sort of nervous
and Mom could see that the two of
them wanted o get away so she
aid , . . . . ir di ,
t "Why don't you ap4 Dorothy go
for a ride, Tom?"
And Tom said: "We were think
ing, . Mom, of following Pete and
Steve and giving them a sendoff."
That's just fine, Mom said.
Then Cousin Emmy jumped up and
said, "Let s all go," but Mom told
her there was something the
wanted to talk to her about; Cousin
Emmy bad no sense at all and the
first thing she would want them to
do would be to go to the hotel
where Pete and Steve were going
and play some crazy trick on them.
"Well," Mrs. Flannigan said to
Tom and Dorothy as they were get
ting ready to leave, 1 suppose itll
be you two next 7"
Dorothy colored up aad laughed
a little and Tommy grinned when
Mom knew he would like- to choke
her; but they got out before any
body else could chime in and Mom
noticed that Florrie never took her
eyes off Dorothy to the very last
aad that Dorothy just barely said
goodbye to Flome and that was ail
Mom covered it over. "Thanks,
Dorothy, it was awful nice of yon
and I kivow Steve will never for
get it
"Oh, I loved ft all, Mom, Dor
othy said; and Mom didn't know
whether Dorothy knew what she
had said or not; so she just tapped
her on the am and said: "Don't
you drive too fast, now, trying to
catch them.
Tell that to your son," Dorothy
laughed as they got in the car.
"Okay, Mom. Tommy laughed.
"Better keep your eye on Pop."
Mom stood and watched the sec
ond pair of them go away in a car.
She was glad Tommy was driving.
That showed who would wear; the
pants in the family. Then she heard
a noise and Pop was coming back
with Pat Flannigan, Hen Johnson
aad even the little banty rooster
from across the way and Mrs.
Farrell, too. "I was just going over
after. you". Mom sail to her. Mrs.
Farrel smiled' like .she had her
doubts but the funny part of it
Mom was going over at ' a time
like this everybody Should be
friends.
Pop thought the same thing. He
had; the men in the ldtcheq and his
voice got louder and all of them
got louder; and Mom had her sus
picions so she made an excuse to
go but to the kitchen and there he
was with a big bottle and they all
had glasses even Uncle Louie; and
his face was red and he was smil
ing, and Moa thought it was a
shame Uncle Louie didnt smile
oftener because he had a real nice
smile; and she was glad he was
having a good time. She thought
of reminding him about his stom.
ach but they said schnapps was
good for a bad stomach although
Mom had her doubts about that.
"So yoa admit," Pop was laying,
with that eye down and his finger
out Gke he was a prosecuting attor
ney, "he's a great boy and the team
cant get along without him?"
"Sure, said Uncle Louie, "didnt
I name him?"
Pop shook his head and laughed
out loud; then he put his arm
around Uncle Louie's shoulder and
said, confidential-like, to the others:
"By darrg and he did, too. He said,
we've got to go clear hack to the
founder of Democracy, Thomas Jef

A flash in a traveldg of the house
in which Robert Louis Stevenson
lived, during his stay In Samoa,
and jsiiwther of his grave on the

to permit the reading ot the in
scription on the grave stone the
famous lines written by himself,
beginning "Here he lies where he
wished to be."

These planes do not fly. Tne

idea suggested by tne anape ana
color of the toys is sufficient to
satisfy the childish heart. Two
more generations and the world

One day this week, out at the

man who told me frankly, among
other startling things, that he re
sembles Mussolini. Perhaps he
does resemble Mussolini; I sup
pose he should know whom he re
sembles. But the resemblance
must be, I think, on the Inside.
