The Bonfires
There was a great deal of whisper
ing around Puddle Muddle. The lit
tie gnome-like man Willy NUly was
as excited as he could be.
"You mustn't forget," he whisper
ed to Rip, the dog, "that now Is the
time when we have all our birthday
celebrations.
"The ducks have gone down to
their pond and are busy there and
have forgotten about their birth
days."
"Shall I call them?" barked Rip.
"Please do," said Willy NUly.
"Mrs. Quacko, Mr. Quacko, Qua
ckles, Yellow Beak and all the other
ducks," barked Rip, "Willy Nilly Is
expecting you to come to his house
this evening as the sun goes down.1
"Dear me," quacked Mrs. uacko
with her wings all of a flutter, "what
la happening now?"
"Nothing Is happening now," bark-
lngly answered Rip. "But no one ever
knows when something la going to
happen."
"That's so," quacklngly agreed the
ducks.
As a red sun was slowly sinking In
the west back of Puddle Muddle, Mr,
and Mrs. Quacko and the other
ducks waddled up toward Willy
niuy's nouse.
And no sooner had they spoken to

To the Editor: The old world Is
full of misunderstandings, miscon

misrepresentations.
The little birdies have been whis
pering around that henchmen in
the Sprague camp have been soli
citing the support of the churches.
Just on what grounds they think
he is entitled to this support I do
not understand, when Mr. Sprague's
paper, tne Oregon statesman, often
carries beer advertisements. So It
Is possible for the beer men and
the Oregon hop growers to endorse
him also. This, indeed, would
make a complication. To be en
dorsed by the dry church vote and
tne wet beer vote. And why not be
endorsed by the beer vote? He has
carried their ad in his paper. Such
things can happen. But it is a
serious matter. People do not like
"straddle-bugs." They like to see
a candidate take either one side or
the other of the fence, and stay
there.
I can speak from personal ex
perience. Four years ago I ran in
the primary election for the demo
cratic nomination for county com
missioner. ,
I had the endorsement of the
churches. On the morning of the
primary election Mr. Sprague's pa
per, the Oregon Statesman, pub
lished that I had been endorsed by
the Oregon hop growers. That
caused my defeat.
It is Impossible for Mr. Sprague
to carry water on both shoulders.
One pastor the other day in an
nouncing his support for Sprague
referred to him as Governor
Sprague Now if he la not elected
governor It will be a little embarrass
ing. So it would be well for him to

Now these millions in Oregon are going for Old

Proposed law wrecks the State Liquor Commis

Elimination of Oregon Double Liability

STATE OF OREGON
BANKING DEPARTMENT
8ALIM
The conditions which prevailed la
arlier years no doubt were consid
ered a justification for the enactment
of this constitutional provision. How
ever, recent changes in our banking
laws, both Federal and State, have
brought about a condition which con
clusively demonstrates that this pro
vision la now obsolete and its reten
tion can no longer be considered
justifiable.
Based upon my experience as a
banker and liquidator, I have no hes
itation in urging the approval of this
amendment

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION
WASHINGTON
Inasmuch as more than 98 ol the
depositors in insured banks are fully
Insured against loss by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, re
peal of double liability will not affect
their interests adversely. Doublo lia
bility of stockholders In most national
banks has been eliminated. Passage
of the proposed amendment to the
Constitution of Oregon will put stock
holders of state banks in Oregon on
a par with stockholders of national
banks, thus avoiding discrimination.
(Signed) LEO T. CROWLEY,
Chairman.
The Oregon Legislature, in 1937, recogni
sing the injustice now operating against the
28 state-chartered banks affected by this law
ordered that a constitutional amendment
be submitted to the people of Oregon to
correct this condition by eliminating the
Double Liability of Stockholders In Oregon
State Banks.
By voting for this amendment the Double
Liability provision of the Oregon State Law
will be eliminated thus placing all State
Banks in Oregon on an equal basis and. In
so far as liability Is concerned, on the same
basis as all National Banks in the United
States.
In justice to the smaller State Banks in Oregon, support this Amendment

OTOP-AND-GO DRIVING fools your speedometer while
your car is going a mile, your engine may go the equiva

The number of extra revolutions your engine makes depends
on how many times you stop and start how much of your
driving is in low and second gears.
You can't avoid stop-and-go driving, but you can do some
thing about its high cost. Shell engineers found that getting
away from a traffic stop can waste enough "undigested" gaso
line to carry you ls of a mile.
To cut this waste, they rearranged the chemical structure
of gasoline, making every drop of Super-Shell "motor digesti

There is a Shell dealer near you. Use Super-Shell regularly
