Arthur Brock, foreman of the
state printing plant and member of
an Interim committee created by
the 1929 legislature to investigate
the advlfability of state printing ot
text-books, declares that state
printing of texts for the grade
schools would save parents over
$100,000 a year. Brock has return
ed from California where he inves
tigated state text-book printing and
reached his conclusion during his
inquiry there.
"We have figure?," Brock said,
"showing that about $300,000 Is
spent annually in Oregon for text
books used In the grades. I am
convinced that we could produce
these books in the state printing
plant for less than 0200,000."
Brock said he did not think it
would be practical for Oregon to
print high school texts at the out
set. Calilornla is not doing it, but
is expecting to soon, he said.
Brock's figures, he said, apply to
state-printed books, and not free
text-books. Free books, ne believ
es, could be produced at even less
cost. He mentioned that Oregon
Is one of only seven states in the
union that do not provide iree
books. He said that nearly all
publishers are willing to lease their
text Dlates to state plants. r.ew
enuinmcnt In the state plant nec
essary to print tne oooxs uioca
thinks would cost about $100,000.
Three persons from the state o:
Washington were with Brock in
California, investigating the feasi
bility of state-printed texts in that
state. WashUlZton now lurnisnet
free books but purchases them
from private publishers.

GETS OKEH OF
COMMITTEE
The school budget for June, 1929,
to June, 1930, was promptly endors
ed Tuesday night by the citizens'
budget committee meeting with the
school board In one of the most
amicable sessions ever held In the
office of the city superintendent of
schools. The various Items were read
and adopted, the only comments be
ing those of members of the citizens'
committee who did not quite under
stand the various articles. All pres
ent agreed that Superintendent
George W. Hug and the school board
had prepared a budget which was as
satisfactory as could be secured with
the amount of money to be spent
on city schools this year.
The item on health service, which
as expected to be questioned, was
adopted as promptly as the others
in the budget when Chairman H.
H. Olinger stated that he was more
than satisfied with the value to be
received.
Members of the citizens' budget
committee present at the meeting
Tuesday night were W. H. Dancy,

DEATH AN AID
TO PROGRESS
Death, the Rotary club was In
formed Wednesday noon, la the
greatest aid to progress, the quota
tion being used by W. B. J. Grata,
editor of the Epworth League Her
ald ot Chicago. "If all the venerable
of ancient times continued to live,
their whiskers would proviao a ser
ious traffle problem on Main
street," he said.
"Each generation must Be remov
ed from the scene to make way for
a newer and more progressive gen
eratlon and too many ol us are
anxious to keep things the way they
are today, possess no vision or no
goal," Grata continued. "The young
people will never be as gooa as
they used to be, or so each genera
tion firmly believes."
Preceding Grata was Dan Brum
mitt, also ot Chicago, and editor of
the Northwest Christian Advocate,
who described America as the globe
trotters' paradise. In a humorous
manner Brummltt told of travel In
foreign lands with Its accompanying
hlnderanecs to numan association

a hundred and one other details.
"Travel is a characteristic ot tne
American people, with another
characteristic that they must tell
ol their trips upon returning home,"
Brummitt said. "People of loreign
lands gain their Impression of the
American people by the actions ol
a minority."

Report on ciiangcs In the club
constitution, repoit on the bazaar
recently sponsored by the club, and
practice of songs entertained the
borne economics club ot the sen-
banks having paid in full. .
Two members of the county
court are warming up to a proposi
tlon that the state banks which
refuse to pay their taxes be denied
further use of county lunds. As It
stands, around half a million dol
lars of county funds are averaged
In the county bank account the
year around, with tills divided
among the various banks, Salem
banks having the largest share In
their checking accounts and 1 per
cent is paid on dally balances on
these county lunds. It is known
that at least two members of tne
court are giving very serious thought
to insisting that only those banks
which pay their taxes share in the
handling of the county tax money.
The failure of a few state banks
to pay their taxes followed the move
of the national banks in not paying
theirs alter the federal court in
Portland had held that such taxes
against national banks are Illegal
because of provisions in the nation
al banking law. The state banks
have held that it was not fair for
them to pay when the national
banks haven't paid.
Several efforts have been made to
effect a compromise whereby the
banks would pay a part of the taxes
but so far, unless something hap
pened at the star chamber session
Wednesday which has not leaked
out, the court has held aloof from
any such proposition. The members
up to now have taken the attitude
that the banks either owe or dom
owe and if they owe that they
should pay. And some of them go
further by Intimating that tney
should pay anyway as a moral duty
as they have had the use of tax
money paid from other sources by
depositors in their banks, as well
as the general protection of govern
ment.
Tile new excise tax law will take
care of the loophole which has al
lowed some banks to escape part of
their taxes for a period, but does
not clean up the back taxes not
pa.d.
