'With or without of tense to friend or foet I tkelch your world exactly as it goei." Byron Moving Bill Tactics Were the menace contained in the possible results of the movement not so serious the tactics and subterfuges em ployed by the Marion County Tax Equalization League in its efforts to initiate a measure to compel the moving of the University of Oregon from Eugene to Corvallis, the normal schools from Monmouth, LaGrande and Ashland to Eugene to be combined into a glorified "teacher's college," the uni versity law school from Eugene to Salem, scrap the normal school plant at Monmouth and convert those at LaGrande and Ashland into junior colleges would have their amusing features. The tax league, organized and existing for the proclaim ed purpose of sponsoring and supporting legislation to re duce and enualize taxes in Oregon, announces through i member of its executive committee that it will "knife" Governor Meier's three-fold tax reduction and equalization plan unless the Oregon Taxpayers Equalization and Con servation League (sponsors of three initiative bills to carry out the executive s plan) ceases its opposition to the school moving" bill. The Marion county league, we have been repeatedly told, is composed of a small group of farmers who have been forced to the verge of bankruptcy by oppressive taxes. Yet, to put over a measure that instead of reducing taxes would impose upon the people of Oregon the expense of providing additional buildings at Corvallis and would create new institutions of, higher learning to be supported at public expense, we find this league of bankrupt farmers spending thousands of dollars on an elaborate campaign of promotion and propaganda in support of a scheme that would benefit only the city of Corvallis and satisfy the jealous-born greed of friends of the state college. . Today the newspapers of the state are in receipt of professionally prepared "news story" embodying an appeal from Henry Zorn, president of the Marion county league, for public subscriptions of money to finance the fight to boost Corvallis at the expense of her neighboring city, and to pay the salaries of the political promoter who directs the cam paign, the lawyers employed to legalize the scheme, the pres3 agents who are flooding the newspapers of the state with propaganda and preparing the copy for such costly printed circulars a3 the one which accompanied Mr. Zorn's appeal for money, the staff of clerical workers who are employed at the league's Portland headquarters, and the small army of professional petition pushers who are paid five to ten cents a name for every name they secure on the initiative petitions. So far the sponsors for the bill have refused to divulge the names of those who have put up the several thousand dollars already spent by the league. On that question the only illuminating information yet offered is contained in a statement by a member of the league's executive committee who said: "Later in the campaign we expect the Corvallis chamber of commerce to raise some money to support the consolida tion move." It would be interesting to know upon what authority the lax league bases its expectations of financial support from Corvallis. Both Dry and Wet The weasel worded republican plank, designed to win the vet votes and at the same time hold the dry element, like all political straddles, promises to do neither. No one seems to know what it means for it can be read both ways. Already the sincere wets like Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, and the sincere drys like Senator Borah are announcing their oppo sition. One thing it has done is to put the emphasis on pro hibition to the exclusion of all other issues. The drys figure they have been betrayed by President Hoover whom they elected four years ago. As they have been. The wets blame White House pressure for defeat of the repeal plank, which ii also correct. Dr. Butler says the modification plank "was sired by muddle-head out of cowardice.' Senator Borah said that it was adopted for "political expediency" as the convention ,v.as over-whelmingly for repeal. Other remarks by the two are contrasted: JORDAN VALLEY TRACT REFUGE FOR PHEASANTS Portland, June 31 (U1 Like many other business earnings, receipts of the game commission from tile sale of hunting and Ilshlng licenses are steadily dwindling and have fallen far below expectations this year, the game commission found yesterday at its regular monthly meeting. Last month receipt were only $52,000 as compared to $63,000 for May the previous year. Harvey Moreiand, chief clerk of the com mission attributes the decline to: General depression, adverse weather conditions this spring, and excep tionally large Increase In the num ber of free licenses. Besides sadly surveying the de creased revenues, the game commis sion looked over and decided on oth er matters of Interest to sportsmen of Oregon. On request of the Santlam Pish and Game association the commis sion voted to set aside a tract of 1800 acres in the Jordon valley as a refuse for China pheasants. Gene Simpson, superintendent of the state game farms, reported that 50,000 China pheasant aggs have been gathered this year an excess of the entire number gathered all last year, he reported. Something the sportsmen of Port. I nd and adjacent territory have peti tioned for years rehabilitation of the Sandy river as a trout stream was granted by the commission. The rehabilitation entails con struction of a dam near the mouth that will make possible diversion of the river's main channel In such a manner as to wash away the pres ent sand-obstructed mouth. Expen diture of $7doo for purchase of nec essary land and construction of the dam was authorized. NURSE STATES AIMEE'S SPOUSE Doris Blake Says:- . Critical Mother Blights Manr a Young Romanes By DORIS BLAKB "I have been keeping company with a young man for several years. He U honest and ambitious and I like him tremendously Unfortun ately he hasn't a 'white collar Job, although ha hat excellent oppor tunities in his present occupation. He Is awfully good to me, and takes my mother and sisters out often. But my mother nags about him all tha time. She thinks and says that he Is not good enough for me His manners, I'll admit, sliow short comings due to his lack of educa tion. But he has a heart of sold which my mother doesn't seem to think as important as a white collar, expensive tie, ana a business con nection she could brag about to the neighbors. AMY. The problem Is whether to dis regard your monthe's objections or to do your own deciding about what is worth while in your young life. The romances that have been lost to good marriage history because mothers didn't think the boy good enough for her girl, piled high, would reach to the inoon. Some times the mothers mean all right, too. Life has dealth them a nar row margin for pleasure and they want to feel that their girls will escape the struggle. where they err generally Is In a limited point of view on tomor rows success. So eager do they be boce for immediate success for their giris, they often mistake white col lar glamour for the real article. Too, they often over-value the charms and gifts ot their own flesh and blood. . They sometimes bring girl up t believe that the best In the land Is none too good for them, but they havent endowed or trained the girls to be worthy of the best men. DR. BUTLER Tills Is the worst proposal yet tnade by anybody. It starts out with perfectly banal pledge for law enforcement. That means, if It means anything, an Indorsement of "lawless law enforcement. Then wa re told that. Inasmuch as the re peal question divides people, It aliould not be a partisan question. SENATOR BORAH Not only the prohibition plank, but the entire platform is wholly in adequate and wholly unresponsive to the necessities and demands of the people. Long before the strenuous Oc tober days arrive, tha realities ot the campaign, the persistent ques tioning of Uie voters, the Increasing Kov aboii ulaverv? How about the demands of the situation, will cause tariff, woman suffrage, the gold this platlorm to be shoved aside as standard, and all the other contro- wholly Inadequate and wholly un- verslal Issues which historically wa responsive to the necessities and demands of the people. Therefore, I choose to leave aside a document which, with the excep tion of one plank, fell dead at the feet of the American people, elicit ing scarcely a favorable comment from the party press, and arousing not the slightest concern or atten tion from the public generally. If the convention expressed the view of the republican party, the fiave fought over? In section 8, which la the nub, the plank denies the people the one thing they wanted most, a chance to vote on repeal. It goes a step further and passes over the concurrent Jurisdic tion clause which the supreme court lias largely nuUifled. It would send tint fr-fleral government Into states.

Yet it is a safe bet that neither Dr. Butler nor Senator Corah will bolt the republican ticket and thnt both will vote for Hoover. It is a cinch that Mr. Borah will run true to form and be campaigning for Hoover before November as he did four years ago. There is more than a suspicion that their apparent repudiation is part of party strategy to line up the ahecp and the goats.' , Los Angeles, June 21 (Pi He was a great lover and a tippler of good Bourbon whisky.

This is a fair question, and here is our reply: A marvelous new testing machine, recently devel oped, scientifically proves that these blades have never before been approached in keenness. We cannot discuss the nature or details of this machine because it is being patented. But we can tell you that it meas ures microscopic dimen sions with unfailing accuracy revealing with mathematic exact ness, actual degrees of razor -blade sharpness. So when we state that today's Gillette blades are the sharpest we have ever made we are bas ing our assertion upon fact. We know we are right and can prove it Further than this everyone knows that a razor blade must be able to bend without cracking when tightened in the holder. This requires steel of a certain temper not suitable for a keen cutting edge. The problem is to permit flexing and yet have a hard edge that can be ground and stropped for proper shaving performance. Gillette has achieved the solution of this prob lem in the manufacture of its slotted blades. These blades are made by a special tem pering process that makes the edges exception ally hard, while the center, of a different temper, flexes easily. We urge you to try today's Gillette blades the regular blade in. the familiar green package or the BLUE SUPER BLADE in its blua package, Cellophane wrapped. Do so without risking a cent If you don't agree they are the sharpest, smoothest shaving blades you have ever used, return the package and your dealer will refund your The Gillette Blue Super-Blade The $2 Kroman De Luxe blade has been withdrawn from production. We offer the Blue Super-Blade aa its successor. This sen sational blade is far superior to the Kroman and costs considerably less. You pay only a few cents more than for the regular blade and get unmatched shaving comfort Its extraordinary shaving performance will convince you that the Blua Blade is tha sharpest ever produced. A blue color lias been applied to the blade for easy 'identification. It is contained in a blue package. Cellophane wrapped. money.
