A letter from Massachusetts says,

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

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

If pne has over

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.

Armistice day is a real day of re

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

It is possible that the time will come
when Armistice day will be as sacred
to the allied nation* participating in

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

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
