Also there is a guild of “au thorities” back east who are making of it a gigantic racket by constantly changing rules, and issuing new books that a lot of siHy people have been paying high prices for. Well, they are getting tired of making million aire« out of bums and. threaten to go back to good old auction—a game in which you have to use your own noodle instead of memorised rules, de vised (subject to change without no tice) by the racketeers. By these rules you can give your partner defin ite signals. In auction bridge giving signals was considered cheating. Four player», of equal skill and know ledge of rules are, in the playing of contract, simply four automatons. Numismatists are said to be eagerly awaiting the first issue of the com modity dollars. Thus the first coinage will go out of circulation very rapidly, but will sppear later in catalogs ut t inflated values. Oklahoma, arm: have already started, without realis ing it, a boom such as America has never known.” Wage« paid in the United States in 1929 totaled almost 58 billion dollars. In 1988 they had dropped to 81 bil lion. Other incomes during the same period declined more than 50 per *ent. Interest payments, however, remained practically stationery at 5 Mi billion dollars annually for the four years. Receivers of this kind of income, apparently, did not suffer. The foregoing information is taken from published statistics. It is this kind of dope that makes me lose faith h statistics. We all know that many titles, school dictricta, counties, in- lividuals and corporations have da .’aultod in internet payments on bond« and mortgages and that these defaults run far into the billions.

B-atatab somewhat premature and contrary to an agreement entered into with his fellow “antis” and it is entirely pos sible that either Burke or Spaulding, or both, may throw caution to the wind and get into the fight too, re gardless of the consequences. There there io Kufue Holman who is still to be reckoned with in any politi cal picture at this stage of the cam paign. If Meier decides to run it is entirely possible that Holman would consent to bo drafted into the race as the one “anti" equal to the task of relegating the governor to the politi cal discard. Unquestionably there is no task which Holman would under take with greater relish, the only question in the mind of the state treasurer being as to whether he would be more effective as a candidate in his own right ar as a rooter on the aide lines supporting some other can didate and incidentally throwing the harpoon into Julius at every oppor tunity. The democrats are still beating the □rush for a standard bearer equal to the task of leading their ticket to a victory in Oregon. While democrats generally insist that this Is a demo cratic year and tRat the next governor of Oregon should be a democrat, the politically wise ones realise that the election next tall is not going to be a puoh over in a state so overwhelming ly republican as Oregon and that it will take a good man to entice enough oters out of the republican camp to rtaet a democrat With this thought n mind strong pressure has been brought to bear on several prominent >arty leaders including Congress- nan Martin and H. B. Van Duser, 'ormer chairmen of the state highway mmmiseion but without any success to date. Jefferson Myers, former «tale treasurer and now a member of -he United States shipping board, is now said to be under consideration as .* WUlia Mahoney, fire eating mayor jf Klamath FaHa, and foe of the power interests who would fit nicely nto a campaign in which eheap power will be a popular battle cry.

Ten tinea as nany persona pay prop erty taxes in Oregon as pay income ¿axes, according to the tax coinmis sion's figures which show a total of ¿»1,897 real property taxpayers and 78,610 personal property taxpayers.

For the time being at least ths new state self-help commiesion will bo lim ited to the development of garden tracts, according to C. H. Gram, state labor commission.

Dod could hove onother packogo of cigarettes, or by saving for three or four months, the average family of three or four could go to the movies one extra time. (Of course mother might be too tired to go but she could use her shore of the money to buy two or three spools of thread to mend the family hose while she rested.) And then there is the family car . . . 12 to 20 cents a month would buy nearly an extra gallon of gas. MOUNTAW STATES Prospects for any of the new atate buildings authorised by the special session are rather «lim. The legwla- tivo act authorise« the board of con trol to enter into a contract with the Sivil Works Administration covering an advance of approximately 81,500,- 000 to finance the proposed buildings. C. C. Heck ley, state Civil Works Ad ministrator, has advised the board that ho regards the act as unconsti tutional in that it violatee a provision prohibiting the creation of a debt in excess of 850,000 without specific au thorisation from the voters.
