carried out the will of congress
even though they have tried to do

Officials Study New
'Processing Tax'
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.
At President Roosevelt's direction,
administration fiscal officials are
studying a modification of the
processing tax system to finance
parity payments to farmers.
The payments, which amount
ed to $225,000,000 last year, are
designed to lift farm purchasing
power to pre-world war levels.
The supreme court invalidated a
processing tax in 1934, and since
then parity payments like other
farm benefits have been paid out
of general treasury revenues.
Secretary Morgenthau, budget
director Harold D. Smith, and
Federal Reserve Chairman M. S.
Eccles were among those who met
with Secretary Wallace yesterday
and heard him explain a certificate
plan which he advocates. Those at
tending the closed session with
held comment until a further
meeting.
The certificate plan would op
erate like this:
A farmer selling certain crops,
particularly wheat and cotton
would obtain the full parity price
from the elevator operator or deal
er. The farmer would give for the
difference between parity and
market prices a certificate sup.
plied by the agriculture department.
The elevator man or dealer
would sell the product In the same
way, the certificate accompanying
the crop through each sale until it
reached a processor. The latter
probably would repay himself for
the amount of the certificate by
charging more for the bread, cloth
or other product made from the
crop.

Japan's announced intention to

First of all, officials want to see
whether burdensome restrictions

not sure the opening will have the

Willamette Fish
Charges Discredited
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
realize the beginning of the series
of dams to check soil erosion.
Long before the government gave
the "go ahead" signal for the de
velopment, fish experts, employed
by the U. S. army engineers,
studied the Willamette and its tri
butaries, made detailed studies of
the problem. A special agency has
been set up by the U. S. bureau
of fisheries to advise on plans in
connection with the construction
of all dams on western American
rivers.
Satisfied
Backers of the Willamette pro
ject are not desirous of destroying
fish life, the statement says. The
majority of the state's fishing in
terests, including Lane county
delegation, appear to be satisfied
with the project. They maintain
the small harm being done to the
industry is being more than repaid
in other advantages and action
being taken by the state in fish
propagation.
"If none of the four large dams
are constructed, in fact, if not all
or at least three out of four are
constructed, then the million dol
lars already spent by the federal
government for bank revetment
on the main stream and the $11,
300.000 appropriated for and now
being spent on the construction of
the three small dams in Lane
county will be a total loss," it is
maintained by the project officials.
Revetment will not stand continu
ed ravages on uncontrolled floods
and the three storage reservoirs in
Lane county will not hold more
than a tenth of the flood waters
the seven dams will control.
The project, especially since it
has been approved by the army
engineers and congress and is now
even under construction, should
not be stopped because of the sel
fish interests of a few individuals,
it is declared.
Among those attending the ses
sion were J. W. McArthur, chair
man of the Eugene water board;
Elmer Maxey. Springfield pub
lisher; Warren D. Smith, head of
the University of Oregon geology
department; Dr. A. T. Oberg, for
mer president of the Eugene cham
ber of commerce; Fred G. Stickels
present president of the chamber;
Elmo Chase, vice-chairman of the
basin commission; and N. J. Nel
son, Cottage Grove postmaster.
Americans Unwanted
In Canada's Army
OTTAWA TW ai. (Canadian
Press) Americans may fight for
Canada in the air, it appeared to
day, but at the cost of becoming
mn withntit a rntintrv.
In the army, however, the rules
still provide against tne enlist
ment of non-British citizens.
Canadians had a quick explana
tion for .reports from the United
Kingdom that about 100 Ameri
cans were in the first Canadian
contingent which landed there
Sunday they said the "Ameri
cans" apparently were Canadians
who had resided in the United
States or Americans who had be
come naturalized British.
Restrictions against enlistment
of aliens in the Canadian militia
forces remain In force and offi
cials said none was accepted know
ingly. It is always possible, however,
it was pointed out, for an Ameri
can or other non-Canadian to get
hv rAniitjnff nffii-r when Can
adian next-of-kin addresses are
provided.

Success of Miss Le Gallienne
With Ibsen Is Conclusive
Demand for Better Drama
By WALLACE MUNRO
The success achieved by Eva
LeGallienne and her splendid
company in Ibsen's two most im
pelling plays, "Hedda Gabler" and
"The Master Builder" upon what
might be termed a triumphant
trans-continental tour, indicates
that there is still a demand for
the better things in the drama,
and that the art of histrionic re
flection, when exemplified by
talented and cultured players, is
appreciated and patronized.
Miss LeGallienne will appear
at the McDonald theater, Jan. 3.
No young actress of the time
has so conscientiously and assid
uously applied her artistry to any
higher alms than this self-same
Eva LeGallienne, who following
the dictates of her own convic
tions living loyally to an ob
jective point on her ambitious
road to prominence that of pre
senting the master efforts of
Henrik Ibsen, who is today one
of the most popular authors in
the United States, if not the
world, and today she is the
acknowledged foremost exponent
of Ibsen before the American
public.
Her presentations of "Hedda
Gabler." her Eugene vehicle, and
"The Master Builder" have been
acclaimed the most sane, under
standable - interpretations ever
given in this country and disclose
the consummate artistry of Miss
LeGallienne and her associates.
All sophistic reasonings, all sym
bolism, all bizarre readings have
been eliminated in this truly up-to-the-minute
performance that
fairly bristles with youthful vir
ility, directness of dialogue and
genuinely logical analysis of dra
matic moments.
Tickets for "Hedda" are now
on sale.

Forest Fires Set
Destruction Record
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 21. )
The 17,216 grass and forest fires
in Oregon, Washington, California,
Idaho, Montana and British Col
umbia this year set an all-time
record for the west. '
Thomas H. Burgess of the U. S.
forest service Informed the west
ern forestry and conservation com
mission that California was the
biggest loser with 7,674 fires
burning 649,348 acres. Oregon
was next with 2,527 tires destroy
ing 364,451 acres.
Smokers were second only to
lightning as a cause of fires.
J. W, Ferguson, Oregon state
forester, .and Merntt Pratt, Cali
fornia state forester, said more
funds were needed for fire protection.
The charge the U. S. forest
service is "over organized" while
state and private associations are
"under organized and lack funds"
was made by T. S. Goodyear,
Washington state forester.
A proposed national park, ex
tending along the Cascade moun
tains from Mount Hood, Ore., to
the Canadian border, was opposed
by the commission because it
would "lock up" timber resources.
