According to a White House state ment this timely action by the Presi dent means that “much of the over- supply of important foodstuffs and staples will be placed in the hands of destitute unemployed who are now living on the short shift of piablic un employment relief.” The President believes this will prove to be “one of the moot direct blows at the economic paradox which has choked farms with an abundance of farm products while many of the unemployed have gone hungry.” j The job of spending this huge sum will be up to Maj. M. Littlejohn, fiscal expect of the Army's general staff, who was drafted for the task. This concerted drive to raise farm prices to a parity with prewar levels will extend into every state. One of Maj- Littlejohn’s herculean tasks will bo to guarantee equitable prices for pro ducers while at the same time pro tecting consumers against profiteer ing. The Agricultural Adjustment Ad ministration will coordinate in buying up the farm surpluses, while the Fed eral Emergency Relief Administration will distribute the food and have the cotton made into clothing and distri buted. And all this, the Chief Exercu- tive explained, will be in addition to present relief rations.—Pathfinder. TABLOIDS Once in a while one finds modern definitions in 'Webster’s old editions. Foy example the word “nutty” is de fined “abounding in nuts,” which is Coquille’s application to PWA for a sufficiently modem. measley little loan of 896,000, for the purpose of rehabilitating the water works system, has come back again, for more information. It seems they forget to ask about the kind of weather we have had hero for the last twenty years; also whether we have earthquakes; and what effects on the inhabitants were noted during the last total eclipse of the sun; will the advent of beer reduce the con sumption of water to an extent that might decrease the revenues of the water pdant? Have cinder beetles over attacked cast iron pipes in this region t And—oh, brother, the end is not yeti The only way to bring an end to this monkey-business will be to place the matter in the hands of some state politician and let him go after it By W. 8. Sickels Saddled with an old age pension law which is mandatory in its provi sions so far as payment of the pension to eligible applicants is concerned but with no provision for raising the ad ditional funds which arministration of the law entails, Oregon counties have been handed a nut that ia going to be hard to crack. The act passed by the test legisla ture upon the recommendation of an interim committee authorised by an act of the previous session,' provide« that persons more than 70 years of age who have been residents for Ore gon for at least ten years and who have no other source of income shall be entitled to monthly pensions of not more than 880. ’ Attorney General Van Winkle has held that county officials have no al ternative but to pay the pension to qualified applicants. The interim committee in its report suggested that the pension could be financed out of existing funds set aside for the relief of the indigent and the needy. Whether the legislature accepted this suggestion as sound or whether it overlooked the matter of financing the pension nothing was done toward providing any additional revenue. With the next act to become effec tive January 1 next, county courts are l>ecoming worried over the pros pect. Marion county officials esti mate that the pension will cost that county 8100,000 a year. Judge Victor Moses of Benton- county “estimates that it will cost his county 830,000 a year and places 88,000 as the maxi mum amount available by taxation. From yvery section of the state har ams! county courts are appealing for aid in meeting the situation. Governor Meier has said that he was giving the problem his serious consideration and is expected to rec ommend some amendents to the new tew when he calls the lawmaker* into session to consider unemployment re lief and. other emergency ms It era. The proposal that Governor Meier be authorized to fill the five legislative vacancies in case a special session is called, is not going over so strong with the tewmaken. Members of the > legislature who visit the capita! oc casionally are almost unanimously op posed to the suggestion which, they point out, would give the governor entirely too much power. Just where the idea originated is something of a mystery as the execu tive office denies any hand in the sriieme and Henry Hanzen, the gov ernor’s political adviser, says that the governor does not wwnt the responsi bility of picking the new lawmakers, reports to the contrary notwithstand ing. The only method now provided for filling legislative vacancies is by a special election, a highly expensive procedure at the best. The 1931 kg- islatur. in its closing day. rushed through a measure authorizing coun ty courts to make the appointments but this bill was vetoed by the gov ernor after the session adjourned and the 1998 session wm not sufficiently interested in the matter to pass it over the exmutive veto.
