mal private capital-goods actirl
ties. 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

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

CDLLEGESDEFEATED
Not in Interest of. Present
Institutions, , Asserts
r Senator Walker
r By a one-vots margin the state
aenate yesterday turned down a
proposal to extend high school
work to Include junior colleges.
The measure was sponsored hy
Senators Best and Allen, and lost
hy one Vote." , '
: Senator Walker charged that
the measure was not in the in
terest of established education and
that its passage would tend to
serve only a small part of the stu
dents. -.7 :;.
"It is my opinion, Walker said,
"that if this bill is approved the
state of Oregon will be called upon
to appropriate large amounts of
money for Junior colleges in the
future.' Walker . then reviewed
the financial plight of the state
and declared that the present rev
enues were inadequate to take
care of legitimate appropriations.
Pendleton Wants College
The measure was explained by
Senator Best who said the Junior
college facilities were wanted by
the city of Pendleton and a num
ber of other eastern Oregon mu
nicipalities. Other senators who
spoke for the measure were Has
lett. Carney, Allen and Staples.
Staples alleged that Walker's
opposition to the bill was influ
enced by his desire to save money
for the state. " '
Senators Hess.. Bynon, JJuncan
and Lee opposed the measure on
the floor. Duncan declared that
the bill was vicious for the reason
that its passage wonld mean the
launching of a building program
costing the taxpayers millions of
dollars.
Bynon charged that the meas
ure was in conflict with education
al institutions already established.

WASHINGTON, Feb. iO.-Vf)-Secretary
Swanson's statement to

struction of a dirigible to replace

servers to mean the end of air
ships for military purposes for
a considerable period at least.
Ban on Cosmetics
Ads Amendment is
Rejected by House
By accepting minority report
of the committee on revision of
laws, with only three dissenting
votes, the house yesterday . af
ternoon snowed under a provi
sion to amend the existing law
regulating cosmeticians by mak
ing it illegal to advertise prices
and by making at least two
years' high school training com
pulsory for beauty operators.
. Only Representative Wallace
signed the minority" report but
so strong was opposition to the
advertising and educational qual
ification provisions that many of
the men who signed the majority
report voted with the minority
report. Representative Barnes led
the fight against the changes.
