Byron A Political Budget The budget director has cost the taxpayers of Oregon as high as $25,000 per biennium. The last legislature appropri ated $16,198 for the office, the reduction being due to emer gency salary reductions. Budget Director Henry M. Han zen's salary is $6,000 per year less the temporary slash. His duties consist of preparing a budget for state expenditures during the coming biennium for submission to the legislature a work of a few weeks or at most a few months out of the 24. The rest of the time is spent playing politics. The legislature deservedly pays scant attention to the budget estimates submitted by the budget director and the report just submitted is a fair sample of its utter unreliabil ity. It is colored as a political document to extol the out going administration and embarrass the incoming one by false claims and vital omissions, conveying the impression that costs of government will be far less than necessity de mands. It's motive is to put the Martin administration "in the hole." Hanzen's report refers to an "inherited deficit of $4, 600,000" when Meier took office in January 1931. As a mat ter of fact, the deficit was $2,397,866, having been reduced nearly $140,000 in the two previous years. The deficit was increased $693,808 in the first year of Julius, .and at the end of 1932 reached $4,500,000 through the elimination of the state levy. The reduction since has keen through economies effected by the" 1933 legislature. In the 1935-7 budget as prepared by Hanzen, estimates of appropriations on their face are $1,265,199 below the total of the closing biennium, and it asserted that if estimates are adhered to, the deficiency will be wiped out and the state levy eliminated. But no attention has been paid to rising costs which necessitate larger institutional expenditures. The problem of salary restoration has been ignored. No capital outlays for necessary construction needs have been consid ered. Higher educational millage has been raided by a recom mendation that $508,000 diverted in 1933 to the general fund be lopped off entirely, and a reduction of $341,656 be made in educational millage funds. And among the appropriations of 1933 he lists the $400,000 loaned by the liquor commission ignoring the fact that only $107,000 has been used and it must be repaid. There are numerous other discrepencies and eliminations of required funds. All of which proves the usclessness of the budget office and the necessity for its abolition as a measure of economy as promised by the governor-elect. The board of control should make its own budget, based on facts not on politics. The English Language The English of Shakespeare and the authors of the King James version of the bible can be traced to the English used in the Book of Common Prayer. The latter exercised a com manding influence on English diction and literature. The first complete authorized English translation appeared around 1550. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and the King James' authorized version of the Tjiblo was published in 1611 five years before the poet's and dramatist's death. Earlier translations of the bible by Wyclif, Tyndale, Cloverdale, and the English exiles at Geneva, had a profound influence on the English language and manners. Printing having been introduced into England by Caxton in 1477, it was possible for the common people to secure printed editions of these early translations great black letter folios, carry ing engravings which conveyed to the poor folks, often far better than the printed word, the deeds and menaces of the God of Israel. It was these books that had transformed the England of Elizabeth's time. Says Taine: To understand this great change, try to picture these yeomen, these shop keepers who, In the evening, plnce the bible on their tnblcs, and bareheaded, with veneration, heard or rend one of its chapters. Think that they had no other books, that theirs was a virgin mind, that every Impression would make a furrow, that the monotony of mechanical exist ence rendered them entirely open to new emotions, that they opened this book not for amusement, but to discover In It their doom of life and denth; In brief, that the sombre and impassioned ImuKlniUlon of the race rawed them to the level of the grandeurs and terrors which were to pass before their eyes .The serious and pulsating tone shakes them at once; they understand It with tho Imagination and the heart; they are not, like Frenchmen, enslaved to logical regularity; and the old text, so free, so lofty and terrible, can retain In their language Its wtldness and Its majesty. Latin was the language of the early churchmen. Wil liam the Conqueror and his followers brought Norman French to the island and, for a time, it remained the lan guage of the court and the aristocracy. However, neither Latin nor French made any great impress upon the Anglo Saxon language. The Normnn found it necessary to learn Saxon in order to converse with his Saxon wife or give di rections to his yeomen and serfs. - Normnn children learned and spoke the tongiic when mingling with Saxon children. Norman language, like Norman blood, was soon to be over whelmed by the Saxon tide as the vanquished always even tually absorb the conquerors. Chaucer gave birth to the new tongue the English lan guage. Surrey, Raleigh and Sidney polished it and the translators of the Book of Common Prayer and King James' version of the bible made it what it was in the days of Shakespeare and Ben Johnson. Masonic Officers Left From List Woodburn The names of Lester B. Gilbert, Earl W. Olbbeni and a pnrt of the nnme of Fred O.

That peak momentum waa reached in April and May. Then It began to slow down. Today It is about 76. The private composite opinion of the best econ omic Judges here is that It will reach 90 this coming a p r ing. That does not PAJL MALLON mean merely a 20 per cent Improvement over the present. It means the improve' ment will be 20 per cent more than seasonal. The business seers do not base ths expectation on anything the new deal will do. They reckon It on the law of economic averages, brought up to date by Investiga tions of the present condition of supply and demand the two fac tors which will seem to be more Important than any others. It makes as good a new year greeting as you can get, and far more substantial than the frail hopes expressed at the end of 1933 Status An accurate idea of the up-and-down road along which President Roosevelt has lea us can be obtained by a squint at the ac companying monthly business chart. It shows that, generally, we are at about the same level as last year, with certain important ex ceptions. The main exception Is that wages and employment have been notably improved. Industrial production is about the same as last December, but wages are about 10 per cent nearer normal and em ployment about 3 per cent better. This may be nothing to get out an extra about, especially in view of the fact that demands for relief are not diminishing, yet It is en couraging. An equally Important Improve ment in 1934 was In department store sales. They were 10 per cent nearer normal this December than Inst. Of course, that Is generally attributed to the pump-priming money which Mr. Roosevelt has been putting out, Causes Continuous improvement in Industrial activity for the past four months is noted. It Is im portent because the wheels usually slow down at this season. (Of course, they did in November and December, but the decrease was less than seasonal.) The better December figure was due lAi'Rely to steel and automo biles. Steel ran at 37 per cent ca pacity. Steel improvement Is ex pected to continue through the spring. The auto makers have been op erating at a rate greater than sea sonal, largely because they have changed their production season. But their plans for next year indi cate a planned output of 3.3 million cars next year (compared with about 9.7 this year). The trend Is toward larger and roomier cars with not so many cost ly gadgets on them. You will see when the models come around shortly that the only big new feat ure Is the steel top, which has been generally adopted. Textile Insiders have noticed that there has been strong buying late ly. Big orders in December ex ceeded expectations, and were con siderably in excess of production. Unquestionably, production in this line also will be stepped up early in the new year to meet demand. Building It might be best not to spoil a very encouraging new year outlook by referring to building, but the situation is somewhat bet ter than the woeful figures Indi cate. The number of permits is sued In November were 19 per cent over a year ago, and the extent of additions, alterations and repairs was 61 per cent over a year ago. That Is due to the fact that hous ing relief agency activity Is at least beginning to show some results, however slight. Prices There was another Im provement, not mentioned above prices. They are now about 10 per cent higher than In December last year. Much of the Increase can be attributed to the drought boost in meat and farm prices, yet there has been a small increase in prices generally. More significant Is the fact that they have been stabilized at the existing level for the past five months. They will go a little higher In the spring. Tip If any of you business men want a more detailed, but less up-to-date, analysis of the situation, get a copy of the address of Bu reau Director Murchlson of the commerce department, delivered at Pittsburgh Saturday. It u the most intellicent New York statement from the new deal standpoint. Of course. Dr. Murchison Rives the ad ministration the benerit of many doubts, but essentially his sound an alysis lacks the usual political frag rance. All in all, conditions Indicate that the happy new year greetings are not idle wishes, although It might be just as well to omit the adjec tive "prosperous from them. Any way It has not been used for a long time. SHERMANS ENTERTAIN Shaw Mr. and Mrs. James Sher man entertained last week. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Rak of Turner, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Starr and Vincent and Inez Starr of Sublimity and Mr. and Mrs, James Sherman and children, Helen, George, Edward, Raymond and Ber uice Sherman. 1 '" ft' m Ski Tourney Will Be Staged Tuesday Portland, Ore., Dec. 31 (LP) Three feet of new show which fell on Mt. Hood Saturday night caused post ponement of the season's opening ski tournament until tomorrow. Six feet of snow covered the ground at Government Camp, half of which fell during hte night About 2,000 persons gathered at the camp Sunday and state police said an equal number were turned back at Rhododendron, because there was not room for more cars on the mountain. EAST FOOTBALL TEAM WEAKENED THRU INJURIES San Francisco, Dec. 31 (JPh-Another injury today weakened the squad of 22 college football players from beyond the Mississippi as they wound up training for the 10th an nual east-west charity contest here tomorrow. Doug Nott, Detroit backfield ace, limped from an ankle sprain grown stiff since the injury occurred in a practice Saturday at the east's Berkeley camp. The Detroit player joined "Pug" Lund, Minnesota halfback, recover ing from a severe cold, on the doubtful list. Duane Purvis, Pur due halfback, has a torn knee ten don which is expected to keep him out of the game. Though Nott and Lund were both expected to see some service In the game, their doubtful status and the injury to Purvis caused sentiment among fans to swing sharply to the 22 western stalwarts. Even money, Instead of the previous 10 to 8 odds for the east, was reported avilable. Andy Kerr and Dick Hanley, east ern coaches, Indicated they may use an air attack against the heavy western line, leaving the ground assault burden of Izzy Welnstock, line smashing Pitt fullback. The western squal completed training with a light workout at the Palo Alto camp under the direction of Coaches Orin Holllngbery and Percy Locey. All players were de clared in good shape. A dry field with partly cloudy skies was indicated for the game by the western bureau forecast. Continuation of Stranded Fliers From page One hillside crash greeted their rescuers. He said one of the Dryers, either Ernest, the pilot, or his brother, Dale, the co-pilot, had a wrenched hip and would be taken out later by sled. The others were expected to reach Morehou Seville at 2 p.m. Dry er's injury was only serious enough to prevent his walking. A CCC ambulance with a physi cian started from Speculator for Morehouseville. Pilot Al Mitchell of the Massa chusetts National Guard, circling the spot at the time most of the group departed, said that Dryer and the remaining rescuer were at tempting to patch up the radio of the wrecked plane, which went dead early in the search for them. The conservation department planned to give the survivors emer gency treatment at Morehouseville, then to take them to hospitals at cither Herkimer, Uttca or Little Falls. One of the four was said to have been frozen badly. Albany, N. Y., Dec 31 (P) Rescue of the four men stranded with their wrecked plane In the Adlrondacks was effected today. Their rescuers, hardy woodsmen from Hoffmeister, N. Y., eight miles north of the forested hillside, start ed for civilization at 11:50 a.m.. about 61 V hours after the giant American Airlines plane crashed In a snow storm Friday night enroute from Syracuse to Albany. Lieut. Al Mitchell of the Massa chusetts national guard radioed from his plane on vigil above the spot that five men of the group of 11, which included seven searchers, left the spot for the highway to Hoffmeister, and that four men fol lowed them shortly afterward. They left two men at the wrecked plane. Their identity could not be estab lished from the air, but it was be lieved that not more than one was a survivor of the plane crash. The courageous effort of the Hoff meister woodsmen, including Lester Pertello and Floyd Krueger, to take the cold and hungry fliers to their home eight miles away, climaxed the three day fight of state police, na tional guard filers and airline com pany officials to rescue the quartet in so-beiow zero weather and waist deep snow. The four, Ernest Dryer, pilot of the airliner: his brother Dale, co pilot; J. H. Brown of Boston, Amer ican Airlines pilot flying as a pas senger, and R. W. Ham brook of Washington, D. C, were located irom the air last night but not con tracted from the ground until nearly midnight. Then Pertello and his bro thers, John and Charles, struggled through with Knieger from Hoff meister.

MAN MISSING AT Woodburn No trace has been found of Llsh Deggeller, 16, brother of Mrs. Fred Thumberg of Wood burn, who disappeared about 8 o'clock on the evening of Dec. 22. Deggeller, whose home is in Stiver- ton, had been employed by his brother-in-law at the Maple Creek garage. Mr. and Mrs. Thumberg were absent the day of his disap pearance and he left the garage in the evening saying he did not feel well and was going home and go to bed. He has not been seen since al though state police have been noti fied and diligent search has been made. He is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs about 135 or 140, has blue eyes and brown wavy hair. When last seen he was wearing khaki trousers, a light gray coat, light shirt, black oxfords and no hat. The middle finger on his right hand had been injured and was deformed. He was thought to have entered the house as his key was found on a chair and the door was locked but whether the key had been left there earlier in the day or in the evening Is not known as Mr. and Mrs. Thumberg were absent all day. Any Information as to his where abouts should be sent to Mr. and Mrs. Thumberg. Continuation of Bonus Letter From page One understood even among the veterans themselves." The president enclosed in his let ter a special memorandum prepared for him describing the issuance of the bonus certificates and Its In surance features. "The amount which Is printed on the face of every adjusted service certificate," Mr. Roosevelt said, "is not the amount of the basic or original bonus ($1,400,000,000) voted by congress but is an amount plus 25 per cent added for deferred pay ment which with interest at 4 per cent compounded annually over a 20 year period will produce the face or maturity value. . This would seem to dispose of the question as to whether the ob ligation is immediately due." The president said another fea ture was that out of 3,500.000 certi ficates outstanding, 3,038.500 veter ans have borrowed $1,690,000,000 or "more than the present worth of their bonus certificates." "I feel sure that many of the veterans have not given the ques tion sufficient study to realize the vast sums required to meet the de mands suggested," the president continued. "Your statement advising me that those who favor the immediate pay ment of the bonus feel that a good reason for doing so is because the government has spent millions of dollars on the recovery program and that much of these funds will not be repaid, while by the payment of the bonus the government will be discharging an obligation and by so discharging this obligation the money spent by the veterans will do much In a practical way of stimu lating recovery, to interesting..' San Francisco, Dec. 31 (fP) Frank N. Belgrano, national commander of the American Legion, refused comment today on President Roose velt s opposition to the present pay ment of the soldiers' bonus. The legion has been campaign ing for discharge of the adjusted service certificates by the coming congress as a relief and recovery measure. T have nothing to say," Belgrano stated when he heard the president's message. Asked If Mr. Roosevelt's stand would alter Legion policy, he re plied simply: "You heard my first answer, didn't you?" GUESTS AT DONALD Donald Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and children of Portland are spending a few days here with Mr. and Mrs, F. J. Dolsen.

DOUBLE FILM BILL OFFERED Nothing was left undone to make the big race sequences accurate in Joe E. Brown's latest comedy for First National's "6 Day Bike Rider," which comes to the Capitol theater Tuesday and Wednesday in a double feature bill. Frank Hagney, former Australian bike champ, was selected to handle the technical phases of the film. A group of the country's most prom inent bike racers also rode in the race sequences. Among them are Lou Rush, winner of the recent Los Angeles race; Cecil Yates, Tony Schaller and Steve Wagner all names familiar to followers of the sport. Chester Morris says "I've Been Around," and means it in the Uni versal picture of that name at the Capitol theater. Here Is a picture packed with tense, human drama. A picture in which you see Morris In one of the most unusual roles he has ever portrayed; that of a man who learns two hours after he marries the girl of his dreams that she didn't marry him for love, but to spite another man. What happens after his discovery makes this a picture that holds you in the grip of tense suspense. The honeymoon that follows this amaz ing situation is one of the most novel pieces of screen drama that has- ever come out of Hollywood. Morris is supported by a stellar cast comprised of Rochelle Hudson, direct from her success in "Imita tion of Life," Isabel Jewed, Gene Lockhart, Phyllis Brooks, Gordon P. Hutley, Jr., and Ralph Morgan. JACK OPPOSES HAMAS MATCH New York. Dec. 31 (LP) Charlie Harvey, manager of Steve Hamas, is ready to let his heavyweight con. ; tender take on Max Baer In a four rounder, but Jack Dempsey, who has an Interest in the champion. doesn't think much of the idea. Earvey is certain that Baer can't do to Hamas what he did to King Levinsky Friday night kayo him in two rounds. But Dempsey argues that if Baer should belt Hamas out or beat him badly a possible hea vyweight title bout would be ruined. Dempsey says he is certain that Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager. will steer clear of four-rounders. "If Hamas beats Max Schmeling in Europe in their fight in March," Dempsey explained to the United Press, "Hamas and Baer would be a good title fight next June. No," Dempsey said with equal certainty, "Baer won't meet Joe Lou is. He promised his mother when he first started boxing that he would never meet a negro. Louis Is the Detroit negro who has been bowling over all comers. COUGAR GAME HELD UNLIKELY BY COACH It is extremely unlikely that Wil lamette university's football team will meet Washington State at Pull man next fall, Coach R. S. Keene declared today in taking recognition of a statement appearing in a Port land paper which credited Earl V. Foster, graduate manager of the Cougars, with saying such a con test had been arranged. "We will have a tough schedule without adding Washington State to it," Coach Keene declared. In confirmation of this statement the Bearcat mentor said that negotia tions for games with OrcRon State, Fresno State, San Jose State, Gon zaga, C.P.S., Whitman, Pacific, Col lege of Idaho and Columbia are un der way. Nothing definite concerning the proposed game with Hawaii has been received. President Bruce Baxter of Willamette recently received a com munication from the University of Hawaii head which said the latter would cable upon his arrival in Honolulu.
