2 Initiative Measures Seek
to Put Counties and
Cities in Charge
Two initiative petitions which,
if approved by the electorate, Im
pliedly would repeal the Knox li
quor control law enacted at the
last legislative session, were filed
in the state department Friday.
One measure would vest the ex
clusive power to regulate or pro
hibit the sale of liquor In cities
and towns while regulation in the
territory outside of Incorporated
towns and cities would be im
posed in the state or legislature,
The other measure would give
to counties powers similar to
those proposed for towns and cit
ies. Public Drinks Banned
Both measures provide that li
quor containing more than 14
per cent alcoholic content b y
weight shall be sold only by li
censed dealers in original pack
ages and shall not be consumed
on the premises.
Twenty-five per cent of the
gross receipts would go Into an
indigent fund, to be administered
by the county court or county
board of commissioners. The mon
ey would be used for mothers'
pensions, old age pensions and di
rect indigent relief. Penalties for
violation of the act by dispensers
include fines up to $500 or can
cellation of license.
The plan proposed In the
amendments was said to be simil
ar to that advocated during the
last legislature by Senators Up
ton of Bend and Goss of Marsh-
field.
The petitions were filed by A.
C. Buckman, 3043 southeast 17th
avenue, Portland.
In case the completed petitions
are filed in the state department
by July 5 the Initiative measures
will go on the ballot at the No
vember election.

the petitions shall contain in ex
cess of 26,600 signatures.

ADVERTISING TIPS
Declaring himself a "bolshe
vik" in the field of advertising.
President Mac Wilkins of the
firm of Mac Wilkins and Cofe,
Portland, brought a forceful mes
sage to the Salem Advertising
club Friday noon. Wilkins said a
decade of experience had con
vinced him there was no-univer
sal advertising formula for each
business to use and that in all
cases related business problems
were as important to success as
the advertising, problem itself.
Wilkins said a business without
competent executive leadership
would not succeed, with or with
out advertising. He stressed the
need of a good sales campaign
and of proper merchandising as
conditions precedent to advertis
ing. He said a worthy product
was a necessary prerequisite to
advertising which he placed as the
fifth factor in a manufacturer s
and a distributor's success.
"Don't advertise what you see
In your product. Study the con
sumer. Find out what he is inter
ested in. Then advertise from his
standpoint, telling him only the
things he is interested In learn
ing," Wilkins counselled.
The speaker has recently been
named chairman of the hospital
ity committee of the Portland Ad
vertising club which is to be host
late this spring to the Pacific
Coast Association of Advertising
clubs.
BE SHIER, BELIEF
The extended task of receiving
applications for old-age pension in
Marion county Is nearing a close
with deputies of the pension board
working yesterday on applicants
whose names begin witn v" ana

Inability of applicants to qual
ify because they have not been
naturalized or because they have
not lived a sufficiently long time
in the county has greatly reduced
the applicant list.

the circumstances of each appli
cant. Some time next week the

Revoke Penalties
Explained
By MRS. WILLIAM H. QTJINN
Culbertson Associate
The revoke penalty is the same
In rubber bridge as in duplicate
and causes much unhappiness.
There 13 nothing so upsetting as
to have to pay the revoke penal
ty. A revoke Is (1) failure to fol
low suit when able to do so, also
(2) failure to lead as required
by an opponent who Is imposing
a penalty. The reason one feels
so guilty when he has an "estab
lished" revoke penalty is the fact
that one established his own re
voke. The revoke may be cor
rected as long as neither the of
fender nor his partner leads or
plays to the following trick.
Nothing that the opponents do
affects the establishment of the
revoke. A partnership has only
itself to blame if a revoke be
comes established. The penalty
for an established revoke is much
more seve e than the penalty for
a 'corrected revoke, so we make
great effort to turn our re
vokes into corrected revokes.
For an established revoke, the
revoking side surrenders two
tricks to the other side for the
first revoke, and one trick for
each subsequent revoke. A very
heavy fine!
Only tricks won after the re
voke, can be taken. The reascn
for this is evident why should
a revoke be penalized by the
transfer of those tricks which
the revoke did not effect?
Tricks won r lost, before the
revoke, occurred are not affected
by the revoke. To make this clear
suppose you (South) are piay
ing a contract of five diamonds
and your opponents win the first
three tricks you winning tre re
maining ten. At the completion of
the deal It is discovered that
West revoked on the third trick
West won two tricks before the
revoke. These two tricks are Im
mune from nenalty. Only one
trick is surrendered. This would
enable you to fulfill your con
tract.
A revoke cannot be claimed
after all four players have re
turned their cards to the dupli
cate board.

Normal Men
Join Ranks
Of Normals
MONMOUTH. Feb. 9., Men
students of the Normal school
here have formed the Associated
Men StudentB of the Oregon Nor
mal school, with these officers:
Valmore H. Bullis, Independence,
president; Herbert Van Zante, Os
wego, vice-president; Don Dem
Ing, Oregon City, secretary-treasurer.
"No longer." says the new pres
ident, "will the men have to car
ry out every whim and fancy of
the mass of women students who
have had things pretty much their
own way for many years because
they outnumbered the men by
such unreasonable majorities,
from 10 to 1, up to 50 to 1. In
late years the ratio of men in
proportion to the women on the
campus has shifted from such
odds until now the men are only
outnumbered by the comparative
ly small margin of to 3 wo
men for every man on the camp
us.
Onlookers here could go back
a bit further in the school's his
tory and cite an instance when
the ratio of women to men stood
200 to 1 for a time.
New Seed Loans to
Be Made Available
Shortly Court Told
Seed loans for farmers will
probably be made available by the
federal government In a very
short time, J. L. Thayer. Spokane,
and Ira L. Hyde, Oregon supervi
sor, of government seed loans,
yesterday informed the county
court. An appropriation for from
$35,000,000 to f45.000.000 is
now in conference between the
two hoifses of congress.
The regional director of seed
loans, working out of Salt Lake
headquarters, will meet all his
assistants Monday In Spokane and
go over details necessary to re- i
ceiving the 193 4 loans.
The court was told that 1933
loans here had been about 50 per
cent repaid. Some are slow since
alfalfa and clover crops have not
been marketed. The situation here
last, winter when reseeded was
necessary by many farmers, also
hampered repayment.
Don't Wait!
