" With or without of fens to friends or foci I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Mulcting the Utilities The special session of the Oregon legislature started out true to form by an attack on the utilities by Governor Meier and a recommendation that a gross earnings tax be imposed the proceeds to be applied to public school funds. ' The utili ties are the only property owners in Oregon which pay taxes nowadays, and it is their taxes that keep the wheels of gov ernment turning, therefore they must be punished for their good citizenship. . The governor was not however, satisfied with proposals to mulct the utilities but must go out of his way to appeal to prejudice and hysteria and unjustly attack them. The ex ecutive declared: In this connection, I want to call your attention to the fact that the public utility corporations in Oregon have for many years past enjoyed not only a continuous, fair return on their Investment, as provided by law, but under the guise of dividends on watered stock and excess holding company fees have also collected and appropriated to themselves enor mous sums over and above such fair return. We hold no brief for the utilities and their many sins of omission and commission, but they are entitled to fairness and the governor's assertions do not square with the facts. For instance the Portland Electric Power company and its subsidiaries, have never paid dividends on watered, stock nor for that matter on common stock in the past 20 years. It is not paying dividends on preferred stock either, but it is pay ing 19 percent of its gross earnings in taxes. Nor does the watered stock figure in the rate basis it is excluded. The operating companies have been shamelessly exploited by holding ocmpanies, but these inflations are eliminated from rate making. These be parlous days for utilities and their stockhold ers, especially in Oregon. We have a governor elected on a "free power for nothing " platform who perpetually harpoons tnem ; a utilities commissioner running for governor by baiting them and and whose every grandstand play of slashing courts as confiscatory ; a legislature that delights in perse cuting them ; and the federal government spending $100 mil lions to develop cheap power in non-taxpaying plants to in sure utility bankruptcy. A utility's lot is not a happy one in this day and age, which is visiting the sins of the and by taxation, on the consumer. Two Heiresses This week Miss Doris Duke, heiress of James Buchanan Duke, the tobacco and power magnate, comes of age and into full control of a share of an estate, containing besides many homes, two trust funds aggregating in 1927 53,000,000. It has shrunk some in the depression. Last week Barbara Hutton, now the "Princess" Alexis Mdivani, came of age and into at $30,000,000, inherited from late Frank: w. Woolworth, chain store magnate. Each of these young women is the mistress of great wealth, though neither has done anything to create it or to merit it. They have neither terfly life of a society debutante can be called labor for both are of the society girl type rather than of the studious or practical type of new woman whose concern is with the serious problems of life and society. ' We have had a fair education recently in the acquisi tions of these fabulous fortunes by the captains of industry of today. A previous generation was not so inquisitive and even glazed over with a species of respectability the dubious practices by which the millions materialized. Exploitation of the government, of the producer, of the consumer and of the employe, along with the investor were utilized, as was the magic of Wall Street in turning water into gold. And the fortunes thus created were left in trust to demoralize and debauch, to atrophy and to debilitate future generations by denying the incentive necessary for progress. We hear much of the so-called radicalism of Roosevelt and the NBA but the fact that these two girls can come into command of great wealth without arousing comment on the inequalities and injustice of our social system, on the evil of great fortunes for idle children, shows their essential con servatism. If the depression continues indefinitely what will be the answer? Inferiority Complex Various and many nre the alibis put forth for the defeat of the undefeated University of Oregon football team by the University of Southern California by the score of 26 to 0, when but a week before the Oregon team had bested the Oregon State by 13 to 3 and the Oregon State had previously tied with Southern California. On the record of the two teams, Oregon should have won, but the dope is usually wrong. There is no mystery about the defeat of the Webfooters. It was merely the working of the team's inferiority complex and history was merely repeating itself. For years Oregon has been beaten before the Los Angeles game began, for the Trojans have Oregon's goat and intend to keep it. No matter how promising the chances, and how good the previous rec ord, Oregon wilts when the Trojans start their steam roller. They fight gallantly, but hopelessly and their stars fail to twinkle. This fact is well known in California, hence Oregon is never taken seriously as a contender. How could they be when the players are in blue funk? The brilliance and ag gressiveness melt away at the mere sight of the Trojans. Meanwhile Oregon State was upholding the fame of the state on the gridiron by defeating Fordham in a hard fought battle. The Beavers have more resiliency than the Web footers and are not cast down by defeat but inspired to fresh effort. The name and fame of opponents are merely inspira tion to the Orangemen.

The first picture to be filmed in this new movement to shoot pictures "on location" Is Paramount's "Gold en Harvest," at the Oapltol theater through Thursday. It was produced by cnaries K. Kopera, Paramount producer, pioneer in this first sus tained movement to film talking pictures in their natural settings. Rogers has further announced that at least half of his schedule of ten pictures for Paramount during the 1933-34 season will be produced on location. "Golden Harvest," with a cast fea turing Richard Arlen, Chester Mor ris, Genevieve Tobin, Roscoe Ates and Julie Haydon, was filmed al most entirely on location in Pendle ton, Ore- the heart of the wheat country of the great northwest. An other location trip was'made to Chi cago to film the famous Wheat Pit of the Chicago board of trade dur ing an actual trading session. This was the first time that permission was granted to take pictures of the Pit for a feature motion picture. (Copyright. 1933. by Paul MaUoal Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 21 Mr. Morgenthau is the number one man now. He has been concoctlng-new deal schemes for many months, but only wnen lie was put on tne job acting treasury secretary did he really assume the responsibility of direct managership. There Is no question but that he Is the genius behind the new deal at present. He O. K.'s everything Mr. Roosvelt does. He is known to have run out from a breakfast con ference to warn his treasury asso ciates that they should make their vlwes conform. Mr. Roosevelt' takes more relaxa tion than any of his predecessors did. When times get troublesome, he tries to walk out on them as he did late last week when he decided to seek the comforts of Warm Springs. The figures do not show it but business is better around the coun try. NoborJ9can contact Mr. Roose velt In Warm Springs except those who know his private telephone number. He has one. For publicity purposes he left Louis Howe, his good friend, and at times, secretary, at home. The major domos of the news paper profession are more or less aroused by what they interpret to bo censorship of the press. They have noted very shrewdly that Colonel Bert Mccormick, pub lisher of the Chicago Tribune, and several other influential personages in the newspaper game are interest ed in that point. McCormlck has gone so far as to accuse the admin istration of trying to perfect a cen sorship scheme. Just as a matter of personal odUv Ion, none of the so-called author!. ties on the Washington situation have been Influenced by that point. mey Deueve tne president has no Intention of censoring the press, and they feel sure that Mccormick's bugaboo is Just that. Major trouble Is brewing in the New York banking situation. The most select Institutions have applied to the RFC for loans rather than preferred slock. They want to Is sue notes, but Chairman Jones has turned them down. They are most Interested now In efforts to turn the new deal toward a more conservative end. Jones will not stand for that. Within three months he will have every legitimate and illegitimate political enterprise working his way. The banks do not know it yet but they will accept his preferred stock. Behind the Russian negotiations stands the indistinguishable figure of Dr. Harold Kellock. He would not dare peep about any of the ne gotiations conducted bv M. Lltvin- off and President Roosevelt, but he nas stirred the imaginations of the inner circle with stories about the possibility of a Russo-Japanese war. He undertook the confidential ne gotiations which Mr. Roosevelt con ducted prior to the Lltvlnoff visit, and by nis shrewd tactics he has endeared himself to the power that be In tlie state department. Therein lies the whole background of the promised Russo-Japanese war. Authorities insist those two are liable to break out at any min ute, our coniidcntiai agents do not subscribe to the general hys teria. They feel that tho general run of confusion In the Japanese mind can be dissipated by calm reasoning. They think the Rtisso- CHILDREN'S COLDS VuMor la Iks fa and ff.ettv Nmidr for ebildrv&'s ! colds.

That Is what Is supposed to be the low-down on Mr. Roosevelt's current negotiations with Lltvlnoff. The word has been passed around inside that you can expect orders (through the RFC) for cotton, Mr. Woodln's locomotive machinery and copper any tune soon. WORK STARTED UPON NEW GYM Hubbard The hauling of lumber and other building material for the new gymnasium at the school was begun Monday morning. The struc ture will be built north of the school on the recently acquired land pur chased from Miss Lena Kester. The same heating plant will be used wmcn is now in the school. Waldo r. Brown, chairman of the board. stated that this building has been needed for many years and that work will be expidited so that the students may hare access to it soon as possible. To some extent the building of the gymnasium at this particular ume is a iorm or relief for the un employment existing here and lo cal men will be given the oppor tunity to work out taxes as well as to make a bit toward refurnishing the family larder. Considerable has Deen donated toward this work: suu m casn, ssuu in work and ap proximately $200 in hauling. The amount voted in negotiable interest bearing bonds was 54200 but the miming win cost about $5200.
