FULL LEASED YVIKF SERVICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND THE UNITED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively of all news dispatches credited to it or and also local news published herein. "With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron $72,500 for a $30,000 Job ' The corrupt practices act provides in Section 4120, limit ing campaign expenditures: No sums of money shall be paid and no expenses authorized or In curred by or on behalf of any candidate who has received the nomina tion to any public office or position In this state, except such as he may contribute toward payment for his political party's or Independent state ment in the pamphlet herein provided for. to be paid by him in his campaign for election. In excess of 10 percent of one year's salary or compensation of the office for which he is nominated, provided that no candidate shall be restricted to less than $100. No sums of money shall be paid and no expenses authorized or Incurred by or on behalf of any political party or organization to promote the success of the principles or candidates of such party or organization, contrary to the provisions of this act. For the purposes of this act, the contribution, expenditures or liability of a descendant, ascendant, brother, slater, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, wife, partner, employer, employe, or fellow official or fel low employe of a corporation shall be deemed that of the candidate him self. According to list of campaign expenditures filed in be half of Julius L. Meier as candidate for governor, items totalling $72,529.22 were filed, an amount greater than nine years' salary of the governor, instead of ten percent of one year's salary. While perhaps, from the way money was be ing spent, many items may have escaped being listed, never theless it constitutes a record slush fund for any office in Oregon. The expenditures are listed as follows: Mcier-for-governor committee, $64,144.01; Meler-for-governor commit tee. $1314.01; United Veterans Political league, by Olen A. Townsley. secretary and treasurer. In behalf of the Meier candidacy. $1500; by Julius L. Meier personally, $150; by William Davis, $1187.12; by Rufus C. Holman, $1187.12; by Estelle Mayer, $507.18; by Municipal Owner ship league, by Abe O. Gilbert, treasurer, $100; by Dan Kellaher, $100; by Elizabeth M. Yeon, use of seven rooms for nine weeks; Louis Block. $2250; Meier-for-governor club of Clackamas County, $89.18. Although Mr. Meier stated at the outset of the cam paign, "I have made my wad and am ready to spend it," if be made any expenditure outside the listed ?150, they were camouflaged and it would take a legislative investigating committee to ascertain what they were by an examination of bank accounts and witnesses. Here then is a clear violation of the intent of the law, if not of the letter. Yet although the reckless expenditure of money in behalf of Mr. Meier's candidacy was a campaign scandal, yet the large vote given him stamped it with public approval. Such a slush fund gives the rich a great advant age over the poor in seeking office and emphasizes the drift towards plutocracy from democracy. More Side Stepping Signs are not lacking that the timidity which has char acterized the attitude of President Hoover on great issues continues to dominate his altitude on prohibition. Though recently the news was broadcast that his law enforcement commission would bring in a report favoring the modifica tion of the Volstead act so as to permit the manufacture of beer, it is now scmi-authoritatively stated that the commis sion will confine itself to recommendations strengthening enforcement, such as the employment of additional agents and minor changes in the law, such as previously made and largely ignored. ' We shall see, what we shall see, but if this is the pro gram, it merely emphasizes Mr. Hoover's political ineptitude and his failure to sense public opinion. The overwhelming wet vote of the last election has apparently had no more ef fect on him than it has had on Chairman Fess, who continues to declare that prohibition is not an issue and that the Re publican party continues to stand for Volsteadism, despite its rejection by the large industrial states. The lame-duck session will be ruled by the drys or rath er the political drys. And in the new Congress the drys will have a theoretical majority, but a substantially reduced one, and it is questionable how many they can hold in line with public opinion swinging against them and the demand for repeal becoming the paramount issue. It cannot be side stopped, as Mr. Hoover evidently desires and intends. While repeal is the ultimate objective, it is a long way off. What the wets should force as their program is the repeal of the Volstead act, at least as far as wines and beer are concerned, and leave enforcement to the states, whpre it belongs. If this proves impossible the waste of federal funds in the futile effort to enforce the uncnforcible against public opinion should be stopped. Red and White Plots If we have the red or bolshevik complex in the United States the Soviet certainly has the white lor capitalistic complex in Russia, for their discoveries of world wide plots to overthrow the Soviet oligarchy arc even more numerous than our own red conspiracies and far more tragic in their consequences, at least to Russians. In the past few weeks the Moscow super-patriots have unearthed two world wide plots to overthrow the Soviet, in the last expose including Poincare, Rriand, Churchill and other leaders of foreign nations. Foreign gold replaces the Russian gold cited our own conspiracies. In many other ways the conspiracies run on parallel lines. The capitalistic nations arc accused of seeking to rob Russia of her economic resources, just as in America Rus sia is made responsible for the loss of our- wheat, lumber and other foreign markets by dumping. On both sides the plots reveal revolutionary solidalitics. As a matter of fact if we change red for white, we have the same old plots in Russia as in America. All of which shows that, in spite of their whiskers, there is not much difference between the Russians and Americans. Both fall for the same old boloney in the way of propaganda and the same old scarecrows. Both qualify as 300 percenters. EX-SHERIFF WANTS BANK GUARDING JOB Korfolk, Nob., (IP) W I If or d It.

Ws S hM. ft B&m'W WAR VETERAN NOW IS PUPPET ARTIST Springfield, Mo. (LP) A world war veteran who withdrew from the profession of designing stage sets and costumes when the talkies captured Hollywood studios, Is now in a new field of art that is one of the oldest and most forgotten In the world. Three years ago with the advent of talking pictures, Joseph P.
