In this declaration Is the gist of the message civen Willamette valley farmers and bankers at a banquet rt the Ma rion hotel last night by Dan H. Otis of Wisconsin, director of the agricultural, commission of the American Bankers' association. One hundred twenty-five bank era and farmer guests attended the affair, sponsored by the Ma rion county Bankers' association. "Inefficient farms are causirr our surplus," Otis averred. "It's necessary for us to change our agriculture to meet changing con ditions." This change he held was along the line of efficiency. Diversified Farming Pays Best, -Asserts Referring to charted records of farms studied by Wisconsin and California state agricultural au thorities, Otis showed that the farmer whose income is from a diversity of sources generally can show a higher net Income than the one-crop farmer. Other fac tors In boosting farm profits, he said, were securing proper pro portions of crop acreage and im proving production per unit. . Otis nrfed the farmers to take actual Inventory of their assets and liabilities, keep adequate rec ords of costs and production and "then apply to our farm develop ment the best information we can get from our agricultui il col leges." He declared s be'lef that the credit rating of the average farmer who had kept no I.ren tory was belowt vwhlcJJUj:Is perations actually deserved.

DEI LEADERS CONGRESS CRIP S THREATENED Administration Faces for First Time Fact That Control Slipping Revolt on Work Relief Bill Gives Pause; Reaction at Capitol Varies . WASHINGTON. Feb. 2Z.-4&)- Administration leaders stood face to face tonight with the realiza tion that for the first time since President Roosevelt took office their control of congress Is ser iously threatened. Jolted by the sudden senate re volt on the 34,880,000,000 work relief bill, the democratic chief tains stopped to survey the situa tion. They found congress near ing the end of the second month of the session with hardly a sin gle piece of major legislation out of the way. This situation was nothing less than startling by comparison with the first sessions under President Roosevelt. Pennsylvania avenue was crowded then with messen gers bearing grants of power to the White House. An explanation of the change was quickly advanced by the chamber of commerce of the United States, which in its fort nightly review, said one of the chief causes was "growing resist ance to the sweeping character of proposals advanced by the admin istration as well, as to the deter mination of an important bloc to follow a more deliberate and in dependent course." On Capitol Hill the conclusions varied. Democrats said there was little significance; that congress got started late due to the lame duck amendment; and that the first issues presented were more than normally controversial. Re publicans agreed in part with the chamber of commerce, but con tended also it was a sign of grow ing opposition to the administra tion. Selection of Frank C. McCol loch of Baker yesterday as suc cessor to Charles M. Thomas, utilities commissioner, was an nounced by Governor Charles H. Martla.

McColloch, prominent Baker attorney, has been a resident of eastern Oregon for many years. During the World war he served as a major in the United States army. He has served as a mem ber of the state mining board. His selection Is known to have been endorsed by veterans of the World war while Senator Strayer from Baker commended McCol loch's record highly. - Judge Thomas, formerly : cir cuit Judge at Medford, hasynot determined upon his plans' fol lowing, the conclusion of his work here. .

Men Excel at Arithmetic, Women in Spelling, Grades Reveal Twelve of the 1? men and two of the four women who recently took city civil service examina tions for placement on the eligi bility list for policemen and po lice matron received grades, ex clusive of physical examinations, that meet the requirements, - ac coring to figures released late yesterday by Recorder A. Warren Jones, chief civil service examin er. Their final grades upon which will be based their listing and seniority will depend upon the outcome to the psysical examina tions, to be administered by Dr. Vernon A. Douglas, city health of ficer. The 17 men averaged a grade of 75.3 while the tour women scored 77:5. The minimum is 75, with the provision that no grade in an individual subject shall be below 50. The highest . grade among the men was 92.3 and the lowest 47.8; among the women, 89.8 and 63.4, respectively. As it happens under civil ser vice rules here, the man who scored the highest grade will not be at the top of the eligibility list because two men with lower grades will receive a 10-point ex tra rating due to army service. A study of grades in the six subjects taken in the exams by both men and women arithme tic, spelling, two practical tests, reading, and law of arrest shows the women to be the best spellers, the men the best at arithmetic The men also excelled In the problems on reading and law of arrest while they divided honors with the women in the two prac tical tests. Comparative average scores were: Men Arithmetic 83.2 Spelling , , .80.0 Women: 77.5 92.0 35.0 65.7 46.2 57.5 68.7 Practical .70.5 Practical; 2nd 72.1 Law, arrest ..78.0 Reading 75.1 Juvenile work 'Taken by women only. Damages Denied In Graham Suit A "verdict for the Southern Pa clflc'company, defendant in a suit brought by W. H. Graham, was returned at 6:30 p. m. yesterday, in circuit court here. Graham sought $7500 general damages and $920 special damages for al leged losses sustained when a car he was driving crashed Into an S. P. train in this city May 24 of last year. Graham also asked $125 for damages to his car. The Jury was out one hour and a half. Tes timony of the case was taken Sat urday morning before Jndge L. H. McMahan.

Under the league covenant, Par aguay's resignation cannot become immediately efteclve.

Be Momentous i By SHELDON F. SACKETT The 90 members of the legis lature cast one unanimous ballot yesterday. They were in total agreement that adjournment for -at least another week was im possible. President Harry Corbett and Speaker John E. Cooter each say the windup might come by Saturday night but both leaders agree that a better guess Is to place the closing time somewhere between March 6 and 9. The 38th legislative assembly, with an unprecedented quota of neophytes, started with blithe hopes that 40 days would see the end. It comes to a close in a fashion parallel to that of its predecessors: the bulk of major measures yet awaits final disposal. The senate and the house re spectively have nearly run through their own amendatory bills and passed them across the hall for consideration but each assembly has a chore ahead in completing acts sent in from the other house. The coming week will bring finality to the legislature's fin ancial program. The two houses will have little to do in the de cision which the Joint ways and means committee is to make by mid-week and which will un doubtedly be taken, for better or -worse, by the membership In a series of bills which ' will . run through without debate. Big Salary Question Coining Up Monday Tomorrow night the commit tee is Ho decide on the debated,, question of state salaries. Despite Governor Martin's opposition to any increases, a number of com mittee members want to restore at least half of the pay cuts given s t a t e workers In 1933 1934. A lump sum appropriation increase for each department is under consideration without a separate salary bill. The trouble with such an arrangement, some of the ways and means commit teemen feel, is that Governor Martin may utilize his newly . granted power over the budget and hold up any salary advances which is provided for by the committee. The committee is not decided on a fair estimate of state in come for the biennium. D. O. Hood's estimate as budget direc- . tor is 313.300,000; this amount Is $1,000,000 less than the amount plaeed in the Meier bodge t. Hood's figures hold Income faem miscellaneous revenue and from income. Intangibles and excise , taxes to a very conservative point; they do not include the receipts of the general fund from the moneys paid to support the state police by self - sustaining boards and commissions. The chairmen of the committee are ' brooding-over this clash of figures-this weekend; If they are: convinced Hood has scaled his estimate of returns too low, they are going to be more generous in determining the salary matter. The legislature is expected to' do about as the governor asks In the matter o relief. The pro jected outlay is to be $6,000,000 to $7,000,000. with liquor funds furnishing $4,000,000 ill the rest taken from the general funds of the state. . Through rigorous holding down of general state ex penses, the ways and means com mittee hopes to meet relief needs, without any startling increase in' the state's deficit which was at its lowest level in a decade De cember 31, 1934.
