DRIVE FOR SCOUT FUNDS 0PEI1ED; At nine o'clock Monday morning the klikoff in the campaign, to be Conducted this week to raise the hudg et for boy scout activities In Balem, was made. And from tho start a siiuad ron of canvassers men who leave re cogiiissed the Importance of the move mentbegan systematically to comb the I'UMlneHS district of the city for funds with a determination sure to bring results. The fate of the boy avniit move nient In Salem hinges on the outcome of this drive for $5U(H, according to members of the scout council. The Importune of the drive Is sounded In o. statement by Henut Coltmlssloner Walter I'cnton, made during the drive opened. ' liiiMrtunce of Move l'plnlncil "It must be impressed upon the people of Salem," he duclured, "that they are not doing a charitable net When they aid the boy scout move nictU, but that they are buying pa triotism, fo few persons realhse that the future of the United fctlutes do. pemla on the Utile fellows we have with u now. It rests with us to make men strong and capable to carry on V hat w e have started, or to pegleel their youthful training that surely Will result In disaster to the country we all ove. "What we do no wtoward the pro motion of scouting we shall find lat er will be n direct blow to boUhevtsm "It isn't so much that in aiding rooming we build the character of the boy; but we Insuro the future welfare of the nation by educating our aons to the best principles of patriotism mil loyalty." i. scout week opened in. nil fart, of the United Suites rUimlay with the creed of the movement be ing sounded from pulpits everywhere. fitlcm ministers dwelled upon the lm portnnce of the movement nnd ex-' pressed the hope that the benefits would be recognised by the older . people and that they would not hesi tate to lend their support to the uouts. I'n less the 13000 Is raked by the solicitors now at Work members of the various scout troops In the city will be directed to a house to house Campaign, it was satd. Tho scouts liuve expressed their willingness to old In an anyway the campaign for funds, and have abandoned all plans tor celebrations that will be observed flscw here. IF THE people vote favorably at the May election upon all the referendum measures submitted bv the legis lature, state taxes, already high, will! 'be doubled next year. The state tax levy made last December totalled H391.203. With the approval of the bills pending, the next. levy will be for $10,000,000. - A large percentage of the incrased taxation will be permanent, as the millage bills submitted provide for annual levies. In addition, the proposed increase in the bonding limit from two percent to four percent for build' ing highways, opens the door for another 20 millions of road expenditures by bonds. The millage bill provides for. an annual increase of $G79,15o for th Oregon Agricultural College, ,$509,:J66 lor the University of Oregon and $o9,426 for the Mon mouth Normal. As' the levy already has been made for this year, it is provided that these amounts, totalling $1,247,947 shall be -appropriated directly from the funds this year, and as no funds are available, the levy must be doubled next year to provide the money. There is also a millage bill calling for a levy of two mills for the support of the common schools of the state, which will produce nearly two million dollars. Another measure calls for a levy of two tenths of a mill for edu cational aid to returned service men, producing nearly $200,000. These measures, like the higher educational bill, are also retroactive, and mean double taxation next year. Another measure calls for a millage tax for an in stitution for the blind, which would, however, not be ef fective until next year, when it must be added to the regular expenses of the state, which this year totalled $4,:!91,208. Last December s levy was 3.2:5 mills. Last June 1.2 mills was voted by the people for war purposes, and the special session proposals add 3.57 mills more, making the state tax ot o mills. In making he millage bills retroactive, and thereby throwing the burden of two years taxation into next year, the sponsors for the measures over-reached them selves and have gone a long way to insure their defeat, despite their individual merits. Faced by double taxa tion, mere win be a popular tendency to vote "no upon the entire program. I " r wfrxr rv7 mfbw By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY Hi JOIXT IS LEFT BEHIND All of Jolly Robin's friends and rela tions were greatly surprised w hen they 'Then I shall have to tiy, alter all,' said Jolly Robin saw him bidding hi wife and children good-by, on the day the Robin family started from Pleasant Valley for their wiuter home in the South. "What's this?" they cried "Aren't you .coming with us?" And Jolly Robin laughed and said to them gaily: "Not today! But you'll find me wait, ign for you when you reach your jour ney's end." His wife, however, shook her head. "It's one of his queer notions his and Jasper Jay's," she explained. "Tut, tut!" her husband said. And he chucked her under the chin and winked at his friends. There was no time to say anything more, for everyone was eager to start. So the travelers called gopd-by to Jolly, while he waved a farewell to them. It was not many minutes before he was the only member of the Robin family left in Pleasant Valley. lie felt very lonely, all at once. 'And he wanted to hurry after the others. .But ho knew what Jasper Jay would say, if he did. Jasper would be sure to tell people that Jolly Robin was afraid to travel a new way. ; . . Of course Jolly didn't want that to be said about him. So he looked as cheerful as he HOOVER ON PARTIES. mi matter hmv nun you :'ii- nu look stylish unless it' In Jon. you noticed mat auoui a.i n polite pcvple j'vu meet aay more are foreigner ? can't Hav THAVE not sought, and am not seeking the presidency - I am not a candidate. I have no organization. No one is authorized to speak for me politically," states Herbert Hoover. That is. one of the reasons that Mr Hoover is desir able as a candidate. He is not chasing the iob. Mr. Hoover declines to commit himself to either par ty until he knows what the party stands for. He refuses to commit himself blindtoldedas politicians do who place party above principle. . On one subject, however. Mr. Hoover is definite, and that is, the League of Nations. "If the treaty goes over to the presidential election (with any reservations neces sary to clarity the world mind that there can be no in f ringement on the safeguards provided bv our constitu tion and our nation-old traditions) then I must vote for the party that stands for the League," he states. Mr. Hoover also makes it clear that he is opposed to the reactionary program and proposed legislation against sedition which nullifies bill of rights.He declares that he could not vote for a party if it was dominated by groups seeking to set aside cconstitutional guarantees C X J i j 1 -I . . lor-iree sueecn or iree representation, wno nope to re establish control of the government for profit and priv ilege" and that he is equally opposed to any form of so cialism, "whether.it be nationalization of industry or other destruction of individual initiative." Mr. Hoover, who left the Republican party to fol low Roosevelt into the Progressive, is evidently convinc ed, as Roosevelt afterward became convinced, that there should not be more than two great political parties. Otherwise, he fears, that "combination of groups, could, as in Europe, create a danger of minority rule." Nor should any one man or group of men dictate the policies of great parties. , Mr. .Hoover hopes for a realignment of the old par ties under new issues each taking a positive stand on the many problems confronting the nation, and selecting men whose "character and association will guarantee their pledges." In other words, Mr. Hoover stands for the best Am erican traditions for the democracy that has made America a great nation and the extension of those ideals to the world.

Tuesday John Leurns About Women Arrangements For Shrine Club Ball Are Perfected All arrangements have been per fected for the big formal ball to be given by the Arabian Knights Shrine club, Thursday evening, February 12.

And I can not sell my caresses even for the big price of your complaisance." John threw up his hands. "Great Lord, I thought I was mar rying a woman, and 1 find 1 am tied to a highbrow." Just a Human Being "No, dear, I am not at all what you might term a 'high-brow.' I am Just a human being likke yourself, and I nkow this when my blood boils at your mention of Elizabeth More land's name, and I know that she is working upon you with the very weapons that you have described to me as feminine. Also my hurt feeling- tells me that I km very human when I find that I am absolutely de pendent upon you because I happen to be a woman."' '--"Dependent? Dependent? Of course you are dependent tDo you imagine I would have a wife rwh3 was independ ent? There wasn't any talk of inde pendence that glorious night when we sped through the moonlight to. our secret wedding at the church!" "No, dear, I.was at that time bathed in the light that is not on land nor sea." . "Why don't you stay in that bath tub? he asked with awkward humor. "Unfortunately I am not amphibi ous!" I tried to meet) his humor halt way, but with the result that he ex claimed angrily;... "Oh, come on baclto.. earth!" . - "All Tight; I wlllMnd the words seemed to freeae upon 4my lips as a thought flashed through my angry mind. "Do you realize that I have no money?" I challenged John.

Nobody except ms wife, maybe would ' have guessed that he wasn't perfectly happy. ") Jolly spent a very lonely night. When he went to the roost where the whole Robin family had been sleeping for several weeks, he found it distress- Snglv silent, after the gay chatter that he had grown accustomed- to hearing 'there. And try as he-wouldhe couid not keep just a hint of sadness out of his good-night song. , But Jn the morning" he felt -better. And he welcomed the awn with a carol that was Joyous enough for any body. For this was the -day when Jasper Jay was going to show him the new way to travel. Yes! he, too, would soon be hurrying southwards, where the sun was warm. It was no wonder that he sang-, "Cheerily-cheerup, cheerily cheerup," right merrily. As soon as he had eaten his break, fast, Jolly went to the place where the beeches grew, to find Jasper. Jay. And JasKr was there, just finishing his own breakfast. But he was too busy, he said, to bother with Jolly Robin Just then. "You meet me in the orchard this afternoon." he said, "when the sun's oer the mountain, and I'll start you on your journey." So Jolly Robin had to wait all the long day. while Jasper Jay did a hun dred silly things, 'such (as mocking Farmer Green's cat, and teasing a sleepy young owl, and making the woods echo with his hoarse screams. Jasper was late, too. in keeping his ap pointment in the orchard. Jolly Robin waited for him until almost sunset be fore Jasper Jay appeared. But Jolly was so glad to see Jasper that he never once thought of being angry with him. "Come along!" said the blue-coated rascal. "Follow me nnd you'll soon learn the new way to the South. And 'if It isn't a good one I hope I'll never eat another beechnut." Jolly Robin Uughed. He was sure then, that he had nothing to worry about.

We can tell you of thousands who have been permanently cured of chronic constipation, indigestion, biliousness, sick headache and disorders of the stomach and liver, but this will have little weight with you compared ix a personal, trial. That always convinces. Doesn't it make you feel good cause you to straight en up 'and feel "chesty" when someone guessesyour age at ten years or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac tion and say to yourself: "Well, he didn't make such a bad guess, at that." The point is: You're no older than your vitality. If a man is strong, vigor ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50. he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and run-down has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.
