to One Y Six M Three No for in • .«*•••••••’ ed for A HOLIDAY MOOT APPROPRIATE It is extremely proper that Satur day of next week should be doctored a holiday. Not that the working man may have a day of rest, but an a day of rejoicing over the culmination of a dream. Many yean ago, about 17 to be ox- aot, the idea of a coaat highway was first suggested, and through all those ye*« »he idea baa never died. The people of southwest, western, and northwest Oregon have talked and worked for a highway along tho coast, in season and out, and those who are ■tore recent residents of the coast sec tion cannot realise how much in time and effort it cost to secure the spend ing of $18,000,000 by federal govern ment, state and counties, in making this early day dream of a highway skirting the Pacific a reality. And now that wa have it, practi cally completed, we must sell it to the rest of the United States. And tiie only way to induce tourist travel is to give it publicity. The newspaper* of Oregon may write column after column about the beauties of the Car ry shore line, the grandeur of the Ouos seascapes, and on up to Astoria, but an outstanding event, like the dedication of the Rogue river bridge, with which ia also signalised the com pletion of tho 400 mite highway, fo cuses attention on the Coast high way more strongly than could any other names of publicity. In a private letter this week, ex Gov. A. W. Norblad gives th« opinion that $5,000,000 will h* spent by trav ellers on the Coart Highway this year and that such amount will be increased yesrly; outside paoney that would never be scattered along this coart section if we did not have the roads for the recreation-seeking public to come in over. Still more, southwest Oregon is as yet undeveloped. The man with means who travels up the coast may increases hsve been in departments, the first figure being for 1927 and the second for 1932: Agriculture, $156,800,000; JOO. Poetoffice defiicit, $27,300,000; $195,000,000. Treasury, $151,600,900; $$12,900,- 000. War, $360300,000; $438,700,000. Navy, $318,900,000; $878,900,000. Veteran«’ Bureau. $391,600,000; $784,400,000. The Interior department alone shows a decrease, from $302,700,000 to $78400,000. The increase is terrific. No one , can object to the attempts being made , are flocking inato candidates i district and party of- tion the many county for Which nomina- made at this time, on reports received are that a record primary vote will bo asst Interest in the pri mary, however, is based on local con torts for county offices and legisla tive positions, rather than on any unusual enthusiasm over the candi dates for state and congressional of fice« although political tors predict some dose the candidate« of both Congressional honors. Frederick Steiwer, incumbent, is generally believed to have the edge in the race for the republican nomination for United States senator, although many insist that R. N. Stanfield is still decidedly in the running with a strong possibility of loading the field at the tape. In the democratic camp the sena torial race is admittedly between Marshall N. Dane and Elton Watkins with the former believed to have a.1 slight advantage. In the first Congressional district' it is generally conceded that W. C: Hawley, incumbent, will lead the field in the race for the republican nomina tion with James Mott running a fair second aijd )CL C. Hulet and Emmett to balance the budget, but if hundreds of millions were rat off in abolishing unnecessary expenditures, the county would soon return to normalcy.” The Howard straggling in for third and I om of bureau after bureau would fourth positions respectively.

R. R. Butler, of The Dalle«, i« ex pected to be returned an easy victor in the race for the republican nomin ation for Congress in the second dis trict but the contest between Francis V. Galloway, of The Dalle«, and Wal ter M. Pierce, of La Grande, for the democratic nomination is expected to prove a real race. While Charles Martin, democratic incumbent, ia unopposed for the Con gressional nomination in the third district, the republicans have a four way fight on their hands with honors apparently fairly evenly divided be-' tween Homer D. Angell and Cyril G. Brownell. Hal E. H om is not expected to have any difficulty in defeating Geo. A. Palmiter for the republican nomina tion for socrotay of state and Rufus Holman ia expected to defeat Milt Scherping for the republican nomina tion for state treasurer, although the latter is said to be very popular in Portland where the big block of votes are to be found. The contort for the republican nomination for attorney general, it is predicted, will bo a very one-sided affair with I. H. VanWinkle winning easily over Earl C. Bron augh, Jr., of Portland. Under the new non-partisan judi ciary system mort anything might happen to upset the beet of political dope but indications are that Henry J. Bean, incumbent, «nd James T. Brand, of Marshfield, will be the two high candidates in the race for the number two position on the supreme bench with J. O. Bailey, of Portland, and George M. Brown, incumbent fighting it out in the November finals for the number three position. Little interest ha« been shown ia the contests for presidential elector* or for delegate« to the two national conventions and most of the Voten are expected to «but both eyes and make a blind stab at this portion of the primary ballot It cost from $138 to »2.89 per 100 pounds or from 12 cents to 25 cents a gallon to produce milk at the state’s five institutions which maintain their own dairy herds, according to a sur vey just completed by P. M. Brandt and H. E. Selby, of the Oregon State college. Approximately 220 cows are contained in the six herds at the state hospital for insane, tuberculosis hos pital, feeble-minded institutions, girls’ school and boys’ school. Oregon is one of 29 states which re quire operators of motor vehicles to secure a license. Fourteen states, in cluding Oregon, fix the age limit for operators at 1$ yeans. South Caro lina licenses operators at 12 years of age. In Naw York the limit is 18 years. Seven states issue perpetual licensee, unless revoked for violation of some traffic law. Under Oregon’s now law, licensee are to be renewed every three yean. lo The highest rate of illiteracy is f<W"d..i” wit’1 Ux •ch<*>1 according to C. A. Howard, state su perintendent of public instruction. Orogen’s strong compulsory school at- tedanee law promotes school wttend- ance and literacy, Howard points out > to comply with them. Manu- and water power COVER THE EARTH to the he un- will ‘ia now out a 0 on this project with nothing to the investment but an en- on the amount of elec tricity used by the various state buildings and institutions and the peak load requirements of the state. Even this report made by an expert engineer employed by the board of control at a coat of $650 was ignored in drawing up the specifications for the proposed plant. There haa been a lot of talk about trimming expenses in state depart ments during the past several month« but it has remained for David O’Hara, head of the election division in the office of the secretary of state to make a literal application of this figure of speech. By trimming one-eighth of an inch off the margin of 100,000 can didates’ pamphlets mailed to voters in Multnomah county last week O’Hara reduced the weight of the shipment by more than three tons and resulted in a saving of approximately $500 in the postage bill. Governor Meier’s threat to boycott Salem so far as future statewide meetings under his direction are con cerned, unless apologies were forth coming for newspaper criticism of board of control members has not re sulted in any apologies to date. Edi torial comment in both Salem dailies recorded the fact that Governor Meier had spent only eight days in his office during April while State Treasurer Holman had epent only ten days in his office and Sercetary of State Hoes had devoted 15 day« to the duties of his office. Governor Meier declared that the criticism was unfair inas much as members of the board of con trol gave much attention to state busi ness outside of their office and de clared that he would call no more state-wide meetings for Salem until an apology was made. Most Federal Salaries Not High St Louis Post-Dispatch ■ Perbskps the best answer to current agitation for reduction of salaries of federal employees is the salarie« themselves. Of 732,460 employees, 124,67» earn lees than $1000 a year; 433,356 between $1000 and $2200; 125,tfl between $2200 and $2700; 43,750 between $2700 and $5000; 4736 more then $5000. Thus only one-half of 1 per cent are in the high- salaried class, as against some 17 per cent in the class below $1000 a year. To pay government employees a fair stipend, horeover, is a guarantee against cor ruption. Graft thrives when salaries are too low to afford a fair living. There are very few big salaries paid to American officials, whether in the federal government or in the states and municipalities. Instead of talk ing reduction, perhaps the taxpayers would eave mony by larger stipends to public officials, thus attracting men and women of higher caliber and dis couraging petty bribery and pilfering. Announcing Drastic Reductions S her win ■ W il lia ms VARNISHES PAINTS The United State« civil service com mission has announced that until June 7 it will accept applications for the position of farm agent to fill vacancies as they occur in the Indian service, flu last register of eligiblee for this position was established March 9, 1991.
