BINGHAM WHITEWASHED
By a vote of 54 to 22, a resolution
introduced in the United States
Senate by Senator Norris, republican,
of Nebraska, -whitewashed Senator
Bingham of Connecticut of carrying
a lobbyist on the Senate pay roll.
The resolution reads:
"That the action of the senator
from Connecticut, Mr. Bingham, in
placing Mr. Charles L. Eyanson upon
the official rolls of the senate and
his use by Senator Bingham at the
time and in the manner set forth in
the report of the sub-committee of
the committee on the judiciary, while
not a result of corrupt motives on the
part of the senator from Massa
chusetts, is contrary to good morals
and senatorial ethics and tends to
bring the senate into dishonor and
disrepute and such conduct is hereby
condemned."
BENEFIT THE HOUSEWIFE
An exchange finds that in this day
andi age, with automobiles, clothes
and other commodities produced un
der the principle of mass production
and distribution, it may seem that the
housewife, dealing with food, the
most basic of commodities, has been
neglected in the movement to provide
a higher standard of products at a
lower unit cost. Now this neglect Is
being remedied. Recognizing this
situation, a manufacturer of a well
known table specialty has purchased
more than 40 non-competitive food
products and will manufacture and
distribute them nationally in the hope
that the result will be better stan
dardized goods that can be sold for
legs.
Oregon State College extension
service finds the estimated world crop
of wheat is 600,000,000 bushels less
than last year and the total supply
after allowing for more carryover,
about 360,000,000 bushels less. Move
ment into consumption is reported
about the same as last .year at this
time, but stocks on hand in terminal
markets are unusually heavy. The
lurgc visible supply tends to hold
down cash and near futures prices in
relation to the distant futures, whib
weakness in the stock markets re
cently apparently caused a decline in
wheat prices generally. The demand
for wheat for consumption, however,
is expected to be good, particularly
after domestic supplies in the princi
pal importing countries have been
ground. "It still seems likely," says
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom
ics, "that for the season, world mar
ket prices will be 35 or 40 cents per
bushel over the average of the past
season."
Oregon gained 73 families during
October who located in all paits of
the state, according to the monthly
report just issued by W. G. Idc,
manager of the state chamber of com
merce. The report further shows
that the new families bought 4410
acres of land and made investments
in acreage, equipment and other pro
perty of $246,000. In October 1928
only 41 families came to Oregon. For
the ten months of 1929 the report
shows 640 families bought 41,721
acres of land and made a total in
vestment in all forms of property of
$2,516,076.

Gasoline taxes have increased from
an average of only 50 cents per motor
vehicle in 1921, to f 13 per vehicle in

Petroleum Institute. It Is forecast
that the average may be as high as
$17 this year.

SCHOOL TOPICS
(By E. E. Coad, Supt )
There should be the same effort on
the part of the pupil and the teacher
in the development of scholarship that
there is on the part of the athlete and
the coach in the development of ath
letic prowess. If the average pupil
would work with the same sort of
energy and attention to detail in the
mastery of a particular subject as the
average athlete shows in the mastery
of the details of an intricate game,
there would be far different results.
The pupil i3 not entirely to blame
for the difference. Neither is f the
teacher. There is a glamor of hero
ism and a chance to publicly demon
strate one's athletic prowess that is
utterly lacking in the routine work
of the school. If as much publicity
was given to the scholastic work of
the school as is given to athletic
games, if the public evinced the same
intense interest in the regular work
of the school as in the interschool
athletic contests, we would soon have
different results in the classroom. 1
There is an opportunity here for
a specialized demonstration of the
truth of the above statement. If
scholastic ability was publicly approv
ed and adequately rewarded by a
rational public appraisal and a
scholastic letter or emblem, we would
soon see tangible results. Youth
works for an immediate reward.
