Initiative Repeal Measure
Is Granted Place
On Ballot
SALEM, June 13. OP) An initia
tive measure providing for the repeal
of the two dry sections of the stnte
constitution will go on the ballot at
the special election in Oregon Jnly
21, . the state supreme court decided
in an opinion handed down here to
dny. The opinion waa written by Jus
tice Belt.
Completed petitions for this meas
ure were filed several weeks ago but
w,ere held in abeyance by the. secre
tary of state on the ndvice of Attor
ney General I. H. Van Winkle who
held that the 1033 legislative act call
ing for a special election did not in
clude Initiative proposals.
George Bylander of Portlnnd later
filed mandamus proceedings in the su
preme court to compel the secretary
of state to place the measure on the
ballot Von Winkle held that while Ini
tiative mensures were mentioned in
the title of the election act no refer
ence was made to them in the body of
the law.
"Election laws should he liberally
construed to the end that the people
may have the opportunity of ex
pressing opinion concerning matters
of vital interest in their welfnre,"
the supreme court opinion read. "Ex
pression, not auppression, tends to
ward good government. The great con
stitutional privilege of a citizen to ex
ercise his sovereign right to rote
should not be taken away by narrow
or technical construction.
"If the staute is of doubtful con
struction, we think the doubt should
be resolved In favor of free expres
sion of opinion."
The court held that it was the
Intention of the legislature that ini
tiative measures should be included
In the election law.
A dissenting opinion was written by
Justice Campbell.

ire assured r very encouraging
a moro sound year in eompa re
st tidies on prices and crops

rs 1932 and 1933.
.Tie farmers themselves have con
mted the most encouraging fac
tor in this new outlook, however, and
that is, the chnnge in their psychol
ogy their more optimistic attitude,
their belief "that we have a chance."
This change in viewpoint has done
inmensurnblo good in re-estnblishing
agriculture, experts point out.
0. S. Fletcher, county agricul
tural ngent, has made a study of the
local situation and finds the outlook
most encouraging.
Price advances have been stnrt
lingly great on some items) such as
hops and wool, and give the new
year n good send off.
Willamette valley wool a year ago
wns quoted at 6 cents a pound. To
day it is listed from 21 to 24 cents.
Hops a yenr ago were listed geu
ernlly at 32 cents a pound for the
1932 crop. Then came "3.2" and up
soared hops to 70 nnd 75 cents a
pound.-Tho Willamette valley is the
largest hop center in the world. As
one consequent of the rapidly ad
vancing prices, , many more acres in
Lane county have been put into
hops.
Growers have sold at prices rang-

"Can a fish dinner be Included in
this week's menu contest, if my hus
band catches the fish?" inquires an
anxious Eugene woman by telephone.
Why not? If he catches any! The
way the Willamette and the McKen
sle look right now, Friend Husband
will be very lucky to catch any fish
unless he is extremely skillful or
lucky, but fish has its place fn the
well balanced budget whether bought
at the fish store or snared by Ml.
Nimrod.
To be sure if a good cost account
ant made an accurate finding of the
true cost of hubby's fish, it might
wreck the economical budget. Fur
thermore in most homes, if fish is on
the schedule, it is usually safer to
go to market and get 'em than to
depend on what the fisherman may
catch,
.But fish can be the "piece de re
sistance" for one meal in the bal
anced budget at least. Likewise
chowders and shellfish or canned fish
can be used to good advantage along
with the usual array of vegetables
and meats in laying out menus for
a whole" week. VFish is one o'g the
best of foods and one of the cheapest
One very important tip from Miss
Gertrude Skow. who is adviser in
this coutest, is not to overlook eggs
and milk. These two articles are
not only extremely economical but
they are virtually essential to any
well-balanced diet and they are im
perative where children are present.
Mnny clever housewives can do nil
kinds of miracles with eggs and milk
and perhaps a dash of cracker crumbs
or some rolled out bread crusts. Eggs
and milk nlso help with those left
over problems. A good cook can
tnko a few slivers of cold ham and
some eggs and milk nnd a beater and
presto it s a ham omelet, than which
nothing is more choice.
One of the trickiest dishes ever
turned out by a Lane county cook
was an asparagus omelet with a sort
of Spanish sauce In which green on
ions and tomatoes had an important
part.
But this week's contest is a menu
contest That means menus for three
meals a day for every day for one
week. Quantities of meats and vege
tables should be indicated, The aim
is to got variety and balance and at
tractiveness. Meats and vegetables
now in season should Ite preferred.
Lots of ideas can be gained bj seeing
what Is being showing in the groc
eries and markets.
Deer in Road On .
North Fork Cause
Crash of 2 Cars
When three deer suddenly jump
from the brush Into the road in front
of your car things are likely to hap
pen, especially if there is another
car coming in the opposite direction.
Jess Unrling tells of such an exper
ience on the North Fork road a few
mile, out of Florence Monday.
When the deer emerged from the
brush and jumped over the fence into
the road Darling turned his car off
to one side to avoid striking the ani
mals and just then, before he had
time to turn back, a enr In which
two girls from Corvnltis were riding
hove In sight and a collision was in
evitable. The Corvallis far was hadly dam
aged and had to I towed home, but
Darling's car was only slightly dam
aged. One of the girl was thrown
against the windshield of their ear
and sustained cuts and bruises. The
deer disappeared again into the brush.

LONDON, June 13. (VP) Great
Britain has decided to make a ten

D."iO,000 war debt installment due on
Thursday upon President Rwosevelt's
assurance that he will accept for him

This course was to be announced in
the house of commons by Chancellor
of the Exchequer Neville Chamber

authority.
Delay In tho chancellor's announce

IMPASSE LOOMS
LONDON, June 33. P) The de
velopment of a European bloc of
debtor nations to force America to
settle the war debts question im
mediately was predicted today by close
observers at the world economic
conference as leading delegates took
the floor to expound the views of
their governments.
Sensation followed sensation in the
morning session, which met In a state
of excitement as a result of the war
debts crisis with which the British
cabinet was struggling today.
First, Secretary of State Hull who
was to deliver the first speech did
not appear, and Premier Daladicr of
France took bis place.
At American headquarters It was
said that .Secretary of State Hull
would speak tomorrow afternoon.
The American reaction to today's
swift-moving developments ranged
from jocular speculation as to the
tfme when delegates would get I
cablegram to return home to an ex
pression of the belief that it was
better for the difficulties to come at
the start of the conference than later.
The conference reconvened at 3 p.

gate "was present at thnt time.
