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.

to do your own deciding about what

The romances that have been lost

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,

want to feel that their girls will
escape the struggle.

limited point of view on tomor

they often over-value the charms

up t believe that the best In the

they havent endowed or trained
the girls to be worthy of the best

In section 8, which la the nub,
the plank denies the people the one

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

-A STATEMENT BY THE GILLETTE SAFETY RAZOR COMPANY
IN its recent confession the Gillette Safely
Razor Company told you that, under the
stress of introducing a new razor and blade,
uniformity had suffered; and told you how our
efforts to correct the trouble had resulted in the
development of a far superior product
Several readers have asked us how we can
make the bold, positive statement that today's
Gillette blades are the sharpest, smoothest
shaving blades we have ever produced. 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

familiar green package
or the BLUE SUPER
BLADE in its blua

don't agree they are the
