That is an interesting story, if true,
and wo have no reason to doubt it,
that the name of “The March King,”
who died a couple of weeks ago, was
John Phiiipao. So intensely Ameri­
can was he, however, that he added
the letter* U. S. A. to his name, di­
viding his surname and throughout
his life was known as John Philip
Sousa..
THE BEST ADVERTISING
Advertisers may be inclined to dis­
count publishers’ claims that news­
paper advertising is the best medium
for them to use to get their wares be­
fore the attention of the public. Re­
gardless of how fair a newspaper pub­
lisher may desire to be, the very fact
that he is engaged in publishing a
newspaper indicates to many why he
thinks it is a medium of profltable
service to advertisers.
It may be interesting to quote the
recent statement of Karl F. Egge, di­
rector of publicity of Bloomingdale
Brothen*, Inc., one of the largest de­
partment stores in the East.
Asserting that the ideal advertising
man of 1932 “must be a merchant
and muat hold to the determination
for a profit rogardleaa of the volume
of business done,” Mr. Egg» continues
by saying, “There is no question about
the fact that the newspapers are the
backbone and the bread and butter of
any department store publicity pro­
gram. So, the advertising man wisely
cuts out many of the lovely but costly
direct-mail pieces that are sent to a
list of names of people who are con­
tinually getting married, moving
away or dying.**
The opinion of thia man, whose
business it is to secure results from
the advertising of his store, should
have some weight. His job depends
upon the truth of the theories he ex­
pounds. Naturally, he has no axe to
grind.—Ferndale Enterprise.
AWAIT BUDGET APPROVAL
Th« following which is clipped from
th* Oregon Voter does not apply to
Coquille school district No. * for th«
director* here have taken the position
advocated by Th« Voter—that con­
tracts for the 1982-33 school year will
not be signed until after the annual
budget meeting. iFor yeans the die-
t riots would sign contracts earlier
and «ariter in order to he «ire of get­
ting the beat teachers, but in the ma­
jority of diatricta now the wiae deci­
sion has been to wait until the money
was voted before obligating the dis­
trict with a contract. Evidently some
diatricta, however, are not awaiting
popular approval, as The Voter*« ar­
ticle indicates:
Already the enterprising school
teacher is signing up for th* 1932-33
school year. Some of th e m are suf­
ficiently persuasive that they are able
to sign up at th* old salary. Most of
them are soliciting cuts that are not
too deep, realising that some conces­
sion must be mad*. Th* point of thi*
observation is that our school boards
throughout the state are committing
themselves now to contract expendi­
tures at ratoa which cannot be cut
when budget time comes. It is no uss
to go to a school budget meeting and
clamor for tax reduction if the con­
tracts for the budget year are all
signed and fixed. The time for tax­
payers to appeer at school board
meetings is right now, before th* con­
tracts are signed, a* they may confer
with th* board a* to what tax«« are
necessary to levy and really have
something to say about it. If th*
budget ia made first and th* contract*
are made afterwards, so as to keep
within the budget, there will be fewer
heartburnings next year, with big
deficits piled up and teachers being
paid in warrente that will hav» to be
shaved.
Fifteen persons met death as the
result of truffle accidents on Oregon
highways during February. Of these
■ix were pedestrians. Injuries were

One of the first responsibilities to
confront th« Oregon legislature when
it meets in regular semion next Jan­
uary wiH be that of passing on the
so-called “lame duck” amendment to
the federal constitution. A copy of
the Congressional resolution reached
Secretary of State Hoa* this week
and will be transmitted by Hoa* to
the legislature immediately upon th*
convening 8f th* session.
Involving
a* it doe* an amendment to the con­
stitution the resolution mûri be rati­
fied by 3fi of the 48 states before it
become* effective. Three state* have
already placed their official “okeh” on
the measure, Mississippi having rati-
(led the amendment within the past
week.
The principal purpose of the pro-
posed amendment is the elimination of
the “lame duck” session of Congress
which convenes in December and con­
tinuée until March 4 and includes in
its membership, on election years, a
number of members of both branch­
as who have been defeated and repu­
diated by their connstituenta in the
November election*. Under the pres­
ent provision, also, the new Congress
does not convene until in December
more than a year after the elections.
The proposed amendment would
change the date for the beginning of
the term of Congreaamen to January
3 and would convene Congress in reg­
ular session annually on this same
l«te unless another date should be
fixed by law. The constitutional pro­
vision which makes the term of presi­
dent and vice president effective as of
March 4 following their election would
advance this date to January 20.
The primary purpose of the pro­
posed amendment is to get rid of de­
feated officials as soon as possible and
to get their duly elected successor*
on the job as quickly ** possible.
Report* compiled by Secretary of
State Hose show that Oregon pay* it*
official* and employee« les* than any
of the other states except Missouri,
Michigan and Mississippi. Georgia’
has the same average pay scale as
Oregon but all of the other states are
higher. The Oregon average, with
2673 employees on the payroll, is
*1028 per year. The average for the
nation ia 31518
In California the
average is $1706 and in Washington,
$1274. Only in the educational divi­
sion dose Oregon rank ahead of her
sister states. There the average sal­
ary paid by this state is $2070 s year
while for the nation as a whole the
average is $1760.
The low average in this state ia ac­
counted for, in part at least, by the
inclusion of institutional help whose
wages range from $60 to $76 a month.
For the capital group which does not
include this low-salaried help the av­
erage yearly salary is $1647. A tab­
ulation of salaries paid by the differ­
ent departments in this group show*
that the secretary of state’s office,
with an average of $124 a month is
the lowest with th* industrial accident
commission, where the average ia
$126 month, a close second.
The survey conducted by the secre­
tary of state show* that in spite of
salary reduction* adopted by oosne
•tat* department* in th* meantime,
th* average monthly salary paid to
officials and employees in the eapitol
group increased from $184.57 in Feb­
ruary, 1M0, to $137.29 in February,
1982. Thi* is accounted for by the
fact that under th* retrenchment pro­
gram now in fore* practically all of
the salary reductions, except in the
highway department, have applied to
employees receiving ths smaller sal­
aries and in the reduction of employed
personnel those who have been re­
moved from the state payroll have
been largely those receiving the low­
er pay.
Thi* would leave a smaller
number now on th* stat* payroll than
was the ease two years ago, with a
smaller aggregate payroll but a high­
er average wage for those who re­
main.

MEDFORD’S GROCERY
R. A. Euton's Weekly Letter
Last Saturday I had a glad surprise
when a man met me on the street and
said, “I am George Robison, of Ara­
go.” That chance meeting with Mr. i
Robison gave me good cheer for it:
always doee me good to meet a good
man from Coo* county.
While we
were talking G. W. Ayres, the princi­
pal of ths high school at Arago, came
along and I had th* pleasure of meet­
ing him. I have read in th* Sentinel
of the good work he ia doing in the
Arago school and of the esteem in
which he i* held in that community;
therefore more good cheer was given
to th* day.
It is probable that no one knows
when festivity and eong were first
given to light and epring; but when­
ever it waa, it commenced a season of
rejoicing for lengthening days and
growing things. It waa rejoicing for
renewed life. Easter time is the con­
tinuation of those old song*, spiritu­
alised and rewritten by the history of
the year*. For us Easter time is not
only the joy season of life, but of more
life. The assurance of life, the con­
queror of death, is given for the rea­
son th* fear of death is defeated.,
Death, the “last enemy,” is destroyed
the same as any other enemy is dee-
troyed when you get over being
afraid of him.
There would be no worth while
songs if there were no music dedi­
cated to the resurrection of life. I
am glad and thankful for Easter day
and ail that it represents, for to me
it does not mean the resurrection of
death but the resurrection of life.
St. Ignatius had a vision of the
Lord of Life Which he put into word*
that enlarge the horisons of faith and
life:
“Those who have heard the words
of Jesus, can bear hi* silence. He con­
firms faith without satisfying curi­
osity, but he lifts the shadows and
let* u* see the brightness on the other
tide. For him God ia here, Eternity
is now, and Death is but the shadow
of life. More than this we do not
need to know, it reveals a universe of
lengthening vista* and lifting skies,
where life U ever Lord of death and
love can never lose its own.”
These word«* come out of the cen­
turies past. And Whittier wrote:
“Immortal lave, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never ebbing sea.
No fable old, nor mythic lore,
Nor dreams of bards and seers,
No dead fact stranded on the shore
Of the oblivious years;—
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he;
And faith hae still its Olivet,
And love it* Galilee.”
R. A. Easton.
