ON STATE RETIREMENT FUNDS
Persons interested in the use of the state game fund for
the promotion and the development of fish and game in Ore
gon are protesting the proposal made in senate bill 204 for
the payment of a pension trom the fund to the widow of the
late Matt Ryckman. It is set out in the bill that Mr. Ryekman
was an employe of the game commission for 23 years, that he
' received "only modest compensation lor nis services ana uy
the long and faithful service of the said Matt Kyckman and
the small compensation he received therefor, a duty arises
to reasonably provide for said widow."
It will be interesting to observe the action taken by the
legislature with respect to this pension bill. We are told that
il -..J -I,,.,,.-;!,,,,! i if no "nnlir mniliul" onrl "umilll"
U1U VVmi'CiiBULiyU UCBU IUCU ill u ra vinjr uwui...u
was, in the later years of employment, $4,200 a year and if
those adjectives fit that pay and a duly has been created to
provide a pension then the legislature, in lairness to tne sur
viving dependents of scores of other state employes, has an
obligation to care tor tnem, also.
We leave it to those who feel that game fund money
should not be used for pension
regarding this bill. For oursell we suggest tnat the situation
given puolicity by its allegations cans for remedy by the
creation of a sound state employe pension or retirement iuna.
Social security, within the meaning of the federal law, is not
available for employes of the state and of lower levels of gov
ernment. It should be made available.
We did not know Matt Ryckman. We do not know why it
was that, as this bill asserts,
than his home. Whatever the
that while he was earning he
federal and so many otner employes, to participate in the
creation of a fund the existence of which would have removed
the justification, if any docs exist, for the introduction of this
senate bill 2047
We think that we owe the
an apology and one is freely offered. Commenting on the re
port on tne conditions under which milk is produced here we
said that "While a few producers gained a high rating, the
report presents a rather sorry picture lor the majority. Well,
the reason for that "sorry picture" was because conditions
checked were measured against the U. S. public health service
standards. Those, of course, are ideal standards and represent
perfection. At the same time it is to be noted that one pro
ducer might gain a higher rating based on conditions of pro
' duction than did anotner whose milk was actually safer to
use. In fact, one such case, we are told, was found here where
a man whose milk showed a low bacillus count came out with
a lower rating than another whose count was high and the
reason was found in conditions rather than the milk itself.
Answering the question asked in this column some time
ago "How far is just far enough iashopliftingV the super
intendent of one of Portland's large department stores writes
as follows : "In my opinion a shoplifter has 'gone too far' when
she gets caught, and doesn't that apply to everyone's mis
deeds of every character." Well, we have heard the idea sug
gested before that the crime was not so much in the deed
itself as it was in getting caught but we did not suppose a de
partment store man would hold to that opinion especially as
to shoplifting. And, by the way, we notice with interest that he
has all shoplifters classified as of the female sex.
According to Dr. Harold M. Erickson, assistant slate
health ollicer, the statistics thus far released by the selective
service system show Oregon to be in first place in the per
centage of those accepted for military service. A table re
ferred to by Dr. Erickson gives the figures negatively that
is, the rejection rates but the result is the same. North
Carolina had the highest rejection rate 56.8 and Oregon
the lowest, 24.4. The national average was 39.2. Another good
record for Oregon.

that Frederic call on Louis Pleyel,
the Ereat impresario. Pleyel, how
ever, does not remember Eisner
and the name Frederic Chopin
means nothing to him.

TUE INTERVIEW
"Alter all, from Warsaw to
Paris Is not a hop and a skip.
Now we are here. Maybe you had
given us up. Well, I could under
stand that
Louis Pleyel scratched his head.
"But when Jozef Eisner
writes he is coming then that is
the end of it then you can count
on It"
"You wrote?"
"Of course."
"Eisner?"
" Frederic, you hear? Eisner!
My name! Did you think he had
iorgotten? Eh?" Then to Louis
Pleyel: "You have my letter?"
Louis pleyel shook his head.
" You don't have it?"
Louis Pleyel's head-shaking
continued.
1 Humph. Well, no matter. I
have yours, and that's enough,
my dear Louis "
Louis Pleyel took the letter
which almost fell apart Irom age
in nis nanus.
Frederic said: "It was sent.
Monsieur, some time ago.
" Did 1 say it was yesterday?
But after all, how long was it?"
Louis Pleyel said in a chilly
voice: "Some dozen years ago.
"Teh, tch, is it that long?" Jozef
Eisner applied his kerchief to his
unaercnin. wen, no matter, we ll
not waste any more time." He
stuffed the kerchief into his
pocket.
ino," Louis Pleyel said. "We
have wasted all the time we are
going to waste."
"Exactly," Jozef Eisner said.
"Now, Louis, you will .want to
hear Just as a matter of for
mality, of course "
Louis Pleyel sprang from his
chair. "Eisner! Professor Eisner!"
Jozef Eisner drew in his chin.
"Let me inform you." Dined
Louis Pleyel, stretching hallway
across his desk, "let me inform
you there can be no concert for
this young man under my aus
pices!"
Louis Pleyel loosened his collar,
am sorry. Very sorry. But I
am also emphatic. The Salle
Pleyel, Monsieur, Is taken solid
ly for Indefinitely in the future!"
"Louis, please: that Is noth
ing. That Is only to be expected.
Do you think, Louis, Jozef Eisner
Is such a stupid fool? No. Louis.
rie is not tnat stupid."
Louis Pleyel drew a long breath. !
He sat down.
Louis, this Is my pupil. Fred
eric Chopin. He Is no ordinary
pianist. He is an exceptional art
ist, well, do you say no to an
exceptional artist? Tch, tch of
course not. You move everybody
down one and make a place."
"Oh," said Louis Pleyel. "You
do?"
"Yes, Louis. Could anything be
more simple? But Frederic is not
only a pianist. No. Ho is also a
composer "
Louis Pleyel, who was silting
In his chair, now sank into It.
" Frederic! The music where
is it! You have It. No!"
Frederic did not have It. Jozef
Eisner himself had left It In the
other room on one of the pianos. 1
Yes, yes: of course. But no
matter. The fact is, Louis, as I
was about to say his composi
tionsthey are no ordinary com
positions. Believe me, Louis, they
are genius!"
"Genius?"
"Genius!" echoed Jozef Eis
ner triumphantly.
Louis Pleyel said: "Too bad. I
am sorry to hear It. That is the
worst possible thing "
"-My dear Louis"
"Yes. Very sorry to hear il.
Why? Because, Monsieur, there is
too much of it already entirely
loo much, it sells three-for-a franc
on every street corner In Paris"
Jozef Eisner's mouth fell open.
"But your letter, Louis"
"Written a dozen years back!"
snapped Louis Pleyel. "Well, who
knows, your pupil may have been
a prodigy. I don't say yes. I don't
know, still, I would have gam
bled." He was moving his shoul
ders in a peculiarly eloquent man
ner. "But today, where is your
