A letter from Massachusetts says,
We ne*er had so many supported by
the town. Extra money was voted
for that and last week another extra
sum was voted and fhad to be carried
to next year’s budget So we may
have all the taxes we want to pay an­
other year. A man and wife who hav*
had thirty dollars a week for years are
behind on rent and applied to the
'own for aid.
It makes some of U*
mad. The town allows five dollars a
week for table supplies and .some of
us poor widows are pinching down to
»2.50, 63.00 or 63.50.
If pne has over

the list.”
Think of that—a man and wife
having 630 a week to live on for yearn
and then when there is a slack time
have to ask the town to help them.

land thrift and self respect?

More than 63,000,000 will be spent
in the completion of the Roosevelt
coast highway during the next two
years, according to Roy A. Klein,
state highway engineer, who expects
the highway to be open to travel
throughout Its entire length in this
state by the summer of 1982.
At a recent meeting m Portland
the highway commission added the
Neah-Kahnie mountain road from
Nehalem to Cannon B?a<fi> in Clatsop
and Tillamook counties to the Roose­
velt highway.
Until this section is
completed, however, , travel will be
routed "over the present improved
road in that section.
Ail contract* for the completion
of the coast highway between Wald­
port and Reedsport in Lincoln, Lane
and Douglas counties will be awarded
before the end of the present year,
according to Klein who expect* thia
section of the highway to 'be graded
and in condition for light traffic some
time in 1931.

R. A. Easton’s Weekly Letter
Armistice day is a real day of re­
membrance for England aa a U. P.
dispatch says:
“A few years sgo Armistice night
waa the occasion for rejoicing in the
shape of dance*, banquets and parties
but ia now observed entirely as a day
of mourning. Celebrations of any
kind are usually observed th* day be­
fore or the day after.”
The same proa* association said of
France, “The Twelfth Anniversary of
the Armistice was observed through­
out France today by ceremonies which
each succeeding year renders pro­
found! iy impressive.”
It is possible that the time will come
when Armistice day will be as sacred
to the allied nation* participating in
the war, If not to Germany, aa the
Passover Feast of th* Jew*.
Why not T For the Armistice is th*
sign and seal of a great deliverance.

Faced with the necessity of pro­
mulgating a tax levy in December the
state tax commiasion admits that it
is strietly “up in the air” with re­
spect to the consideration which
should be given to the intangibles and
'ncome taxes under the present mud­
dled state of those two revenue pro­
ducing measures.
In computing the
'tate levy, it is explained, revenues
from all indirect sources such as
fees, licenses and the intangibles and
income taxes must be deducted from
the total state budget before arriving
at the amount to be paid by real
property. Under the present status
of the income tax. members of the
commission point out, they are at a
loss as to whether to account for two
yesr’n taxes at thia time, inasmuch
as the tax is now due on 1929 incomes,
or to figure that the legislature will
amend the act to exempt 1929

What A Woman
44 YEARS OLD
Should Weigh
The state election of last week, in­
volving as it 4*d the complete over­
throw qf the established order of
things and its prospect of re-organi-
sation in the state's official machin­
ery, has left a pall of gloom over
those state »apartments whose heads
are subject to removal at the pleas­
ure of the governor. While the num­
ber of political plums at the disposal
of the incoming governor are^not
many under the Oregon system, there
are several nice juicy ones which sup­
porters of the successful candidate
have a right to expect under the
’‘spoils’’ system of politienl patronage.
Chief of these is the job of budget
commissioner, created by the legisla­
ture of 1927 and which carries with
it a salary of 66000 a yesr.
Then
there is the’>>811100 of market agent
which pays 64000 a year, three public
service commissioners, each at 64000
a year, and three industrial accident
commissioners, a corporation com­
missioner and an insurance commis­
sioner. each of whom draw annual
salaries of 93600. Most of the other
desirable appointive jobs in Oregon
