The nation Is enjoying * period

for the future. Secretory of the
Treasury Mellon declared in hia
annual report to Congress today.
“This advance has been aided
by the prospect of tax reduction
and reform ,” he said. “ The pro­
gram of public economy and pub­
lic debt payments which has been
rigidly adhered to (luring the past
five years has been a direct con­
tributing factor to the improve-

Referring to his department’s
administration
of

Mellon claimed that the Coast
Guard has forced “ marked re­
duction” In smuggling and that
under Assistant Secretory An-
drews’ new organisation “ vigor­
ous action Is being taken to make
the law enforcement agencies as
effective as possible.”
»
The department's policy was
described as a concentration of
pffort “ against the sources of sup­
ply of illegitim ate alcoholic bever­
age«“ and encouragement of “ lo-
cal law enforcement by states and
communities.”
In outlining present prosperity,

Hines, director of the Veterans
Bureau reported to Congress to-
ablsd and the orphans has not
boon met by the Legion without
assistance from o th e r. A m eri­
cans.
It could not have been
met without help, and it should
not. The duty is one shared by
every cltixen, and claimed as the
direct privilege of the Legion
because the comrades of those
who gave most to their country
are peculiarly equipped to per­
form this service.
The Legion has used freely if?
own financial resources, and has
had, from time to time the gifts
of groups and individuals.
At
times it has Sorrowed money.
A t times it has seemed impos­
sible to see the way clear (or
a week or a month ahead. The
work has gone forward, bnt Its
financing can fairly be described
only as “hind to month.” Very
clearly such a policy la neither
adequate, just, nor economical.

A t a special meeting of the

The bonds voted for the con­

not yet been sold.
There is
enough money on -hand to care
for the payments on the con­
tracts, and the hoard decided
not to offer the bonds for sale
until a fter January 1.
Members of the hoard visited

Two teams of debaters, who
will take part in forensic work
during the winter, were selected
yesterday, a t 'th e tryouts held

question upon, which the candi­

debated
was: Resolved: That the Sev­

feature of the system of taxa­
tion In Oregon.
Those selected for the first
team were W arren Doremus, E l­

ed was composed of Nedra B art­

No debates have been sched­
