Chinese troops for the conquest of Jehol province soon, the war office indicated in a state ment today. Although there were no definite Indications of when the campaign would get under way, the native language press believed it would be only a few days. The statement implied that Jap anese action against the Chinese in Jehol could not be considered a war- like move, as Japan will be helping Manchukuo "restore order" in Je hol, which Japan considers part of Manchuria and not of China. The Japanese activities will be treated as "policing" the province and pro tecting residents against alleged Chinese depredations. It was Indicated that the "police work or cleaning up would be sim ilar to the tactics used In the three northern provinces, now formed into the "independent state of Man chukuo. Green -clad infantrymen, bombing airplanes, armoured trains and other modern war machines were used to drive out regular and irregular Chinese troops. GLASS UNDECIDED ON CABINET JOB Washington, Feb. 9 (IP) Senator Glass today termed "mere conjec ture" published reports that he had definitely decided to turn down the treasury post in the Roosevelt cab let.

Officials of the Briggs company where the strike is entering its third week said a steady production of bodies is being maintained by work ers who took the places of strikers. Good Evening! Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN This was a grand day for the house to take up consideration of the beer bill. Personally we'd figure this would be a better day' for the house to consider a Tom and Jerry bill, Old Crow bill or a bourbon and rye bill. It'd be a tough proposition to raise n very enthusiastic sweat today over a beer bill. RIGHT THE FIRST TIME New Yorkers get a big kick out of the latest Hucy Long yarn. The story runs that the senator went to Postmaster General Brown r".th a complaint about receiving mail ad dressed: "Honorable Huey Long, S. O. B." Brown is supposed to have replied: "why, Senator, thats per fectly mailable. It must be your conscience. S. O. B. means Senate Office Building." FREE HOP. TAXES Sidney Miller of Wood'burn came into the county clerk's office and bought a doe tax this morning, pay ing a dollar therefor. "Didn't I pay two dollars tax on the same dog last year?" Sidney asked. "Yes, .sir," said License Clerk Judd. "And don't I save a dollar by paying my lax before March 1?" asked Sidney. "Yes sir," was the reply. "Then I save two dollars." said Sidney. "Yea," said the clerk. "And my tax only costs me a dollar?" "Yes sir." Then I make a dollar clear, don't I?" Which the deputy admitted. So it looks as though the county would be $4000 in the hole when all the dog tax licenses are paid. It takes these here Woodburn farmers to figure out how to make money. The more we watch 'em at work the more we're convinced that a real he reformer wants to reform everybody but himself. And gener ally -he's the -one thaU&eeds most of the reforming. v When W. J. Moore shot and killed Harold O'Connor on the Columbia River highway, he sure made things tough for hitch hikers in these parts for awhile, anyway. The Technocrat Forum for Salem and suburbs was organized at the library here this week. We suppose the technocrats named their organ ization the forum, working under the theory that anybody that's not forum is agin' 'em. John M. Clifford was elected pres ident of the technocrats. And there you are, another victory for our column. We announced our approv al of John's candiacy for the presi dency not long ago and are glad to see. the technocrats making it un animous. The only trouble with this late or- ganizatlon of the technocratic for um seems to be that by now darned near everybody has forgotten that there is such a thing as technocracy. Most of those who remember the word think it's an organization of state officials banded together to keep from having their salaries cut, NEwWcira COMPLETING TEST Washington, Feb. 8 (U.R) The navy will take possession of its newest heavy cruiser, the U.

CRAIN While the principal business of the legislature awaits upon their report of appropriation measures in order to de termine with some degree of accuracy the amount of revenue to be required during the biennium the members of the ways and means committee continue to play horse with the "sal ary scale" problem. Until the sal- ary scale policy has been adopted appropriation bills for the various ! departments and Institutions can not be written. No less than eight salary reduc tion programs have btSn written! and laid aside because' of one ob-! jection or another. In severity they ranged from a maximum of 25 per cent to a maximum of 60 percent in the higher brackets. Then through compromises and conference It was decided and agreed to by most of the members of the committee that it would be most just and equitable to apply a flat reduction to all salary budgets and leave application of the cuts to the discretion of department heads.
