The otherwise Inevitable budget deficits Imply either im poverishing taxation or more de valuation or inflation. "A conver tible gold currency now would help avoid all these by aiding to restore employment and decrease the need for relief. Devaluation liaising -Cost of Living "3.. The devaluation which has already taken place has -. shown and will show In still higher costs of living. It affects every 'wage and salary earner. Surely, a 60 per cent cost of living Increase, already now in prospect, should be enough without further in crease beyond that . level. "4. One of the declared pur poses of devaluation was . to, in effect, write down debts by In creasing prices.; Surely the debt ors, who include holders of com mon stock and equities In real property have secured enough if they get a 41 per cent reduction The creditors who in the modem world include every holder of a life insurance policy, of a sav ings bank, deposit, a veteran's cer ttficate and everv holder of a bond or a mortgage deserve some consideration. It would be a boon to these if they were assured through immediate 'convertibility that they would not suffer any further. It would be a boon to our great endowed universities and hospitals if they knew that this is the end of their deprival Inflation 'Poison" Is Decried "5. We can get in appearance a false prosperity out of infla tion. There is much inflation poi son in the national blood .Through the combined effect of the devaluation, expanded bank deposits through government bor rowing, and the federal reserve credit policies, this fever may grow at any -time. There is no real recovery on inflation medi cine. If the currency were made convertible it would tend to check Inflation, replace relief with real employment and contribute ma terially to a general recovery."

More than 100 flax growers met at the chamber of commerce yesterday to hear discussions of flax growing In the Willamette valley led by H. R. Hyslop and 6. B. Robinson of the state col lege experiment station. William Einzig, representing the Cham pagne Paper corporation which has closed contracts for nearly 1 SO 0 acres of flax in this sec tion this year, also spoke, outlin ing the Champagne project. Einzig repotted all contracts sent east have: been accepted and are now enronte back to the growers signed: up, and that grow ers will get their requisitions for seed within the next five or six days. I.; Shallow Planting Advised Contracts call for planting any time prior to April 15, and much of the discussion led by the col lege experts was devoted to plant ing considerations. Both counsel ed that of great importance is shallow " planting, at uniform depth and uniform distribution. Flax does best when planted early and on. fairly firm soil,' Hy slop and Robinson said. A series of plantings made a week apart, starting March: 18 last year and March 21 in 1933, showed greater tonnage on the early plantings, Robinson reported In connection with experiments conducted at the state college. Cutting lis Permitted Whether the crop should be cut or pulled also developed : much talk, though Einzig reported the Champagne ' company is offering $23 . per , ton 1 for 31-inch flax either puUed or cut with a binder. He reported he has been advised by an implement company that a demonstration ; machi.n.e, especial ly designed for; flax, will be Rent to the valley shortly.- This ma chine will cut the flax two inches above the ground and cuts and HOURLY SERVICE TO PORTLAND 6 BUSES DAILY to SAN FRANCISCO Cl LOS ANGELES ,': '. -v.; ' New Service over Scenic Oregon Coast Highway EXAMPLE U LOW FARES la All POINTS OiaWrr ' to4Tri PORTLAND . . 9 1.05 ? f 1.00 BAN FRAXCISCO 9.73 V 17.85 IX9 ANGELES . 13.85 ' S&39 BAN DIEGO ... 18.10 82.60 .

Einzig told the growers the Champagne company is handling the 1500-acre flax experiment this year at a cost of about $160,000 to the company, and that if suc cessful the company will likely be interested in constructing its own plant in this section for manufac turing the finished product, cig arette paper, none of which is manufactured In this country on a commercial scale. He says this coast region has 20,000 acres of land which could be planted to flax. mm PANAMA CANAL Watt n MMinuJ opportunity lor WMtra trdm trip to Europe, rhrou;h tht fww CwmI, mIs (ran Sm Frmcuc a Friday.
