It says: "'Successive improvements such as four-wheel brakes, all-steel bodies, non-shatterable glass, simplified transmissions, etc., are being general ly included on cars. ' Among more recent innovations conies the ball bearing spring shackle. It is claim ed that this development tends to eliminate the unpleansant as well as dangerous side sway that often causes the uncontrollable skid. The average road speed today was found, a decade or so ago, only on the race track. Skidding in race driving is generally intentional and is known as "drift' ing." While this has no place in high way driving there are times when bet ter control of an emergency skid would be an advantage. Apparently auto manufacturers are constantly working toward perfecting every structural detail that may assist in lessening the driving hazard." THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Representative Howard, democrat, Nebraska, is responsible for the fol lowing definitions: "Tame jackass: A middle western citizen who believe that the New England element in our country has in some mysterious man ner been given the divine right to levy tribute upon the people of all the agricultural states and particular ly in the middle west. "A wild jackass: Mentally speaking of course, is a male western citizen who is now entertaining some doubt as to whether an almighty God ever granted that permission to our New England friends and is now ticking up his mental heels very vigorously in opposition to that damnable doctrine." The Manufacturer admits that keep ing tax rates at a proper and justi fiable level is an exceedingly ticklish matter. If the rate is too high, pros pective industries and home owners are driven away. On the other hand, if public improvements are not up to par, the community is considered backward and old-fashioned and the average family or industry does not care to locate in such a place. It is only by cooperation of all citizens and business-like - administration of public affairs, that tax rates may be kept within legitimate bounds with out hindering progress. o . When, in some future century,, says an exchange, the history of our time is written, the good roads move ment must be given much of the credit for the amazing progress civil ization has made in the past 25 years. Provincial America is no more. In a day's drive, 200 or more miles of territory can be covered. It was onco a common occurrence for a person to be born, live and die without leaving a state, or even a county. Now every section of the nation is within easy rench of our exploring populace. Borger, the wild town of Texas, has been tamed by Texas Rangers. The Minneapolis Tribune, in commenting on the Borger situation, resurrects a legend of the rangers. "It has to do with one Espinosa, shooting pride of bandit bands," the Tribune says. "Espinosa flipped a quarter of a dol lar in the air with his right hand and with the same drew his revolver and blew it to bits before it touched the ground. He met a Texas ranger who shot him three times while ho reach ed for his gun." o Seeing a picture of Senator Moses in the Literary Digest, causes us to frankly confess that we are not in the least surprised that it would be an easy matter for him to classify as "sons of wild jackasses" contempor ary members of the Senate, or any one else who did not agree exactly with his views. His visage denotes a personage embalmed in a barrel of egotism spiced with a supreme ar rogance that reflects a markedly in tolerant attitude toward the rights of others. ber 2, less than half way through. If the Senate is slower than the house in its process of tariff reconstruction, it may be for the reason there are no "sons of wild jackasses" among rep resentatives. -..-. o Governor Hartley is hinting at a third term, and his political enemies are in a huddle. How did the "huddle" originate? Easy. Eleven Scotchmen lighting their pipes from one match. o Next to witnessing a corking good game of barnyard golf, we'd prefer to sorter meander through New Hamp shire; just to figger out if there h more than one Moses back there. Forest fires should be entirely out of fashion at this season of the year, but they are not. A dozen fires are menacing the ' forests of Northern California at this time. The "young- guard" lost its first battle the Senate goes home to eat turkey. , Truth of the matter, is,. Watson, all of the Mussolinis do not live in Italy. The terrible "third degree" employ ed by police departments to wring confessions from criminals is being pushed into the discard by use of the lie detector machine. Admittedly, we don't know what it is all about, but if the machines will do the work claimed for them, we would like to run one of them up against a certain bunch of Athena fishermen.

Coad, Supt ) The Oregon Budget Law as it ap plies to school districts leaves several things to be desired. According to the law, the school district is sup posed to budget its expense for the fiscal school year which is from July 1 to June 30. But not one cent of money will be received by the school district until after the school for the year is over. May taxes are usually paid the latter part of June; and No vember taxes the last of December. You can readily see that a school district is compelled to operate on a warrant basis for the entire period un less it can build up a reserve to carry it over until the money on the budget comes in. In fact the last half of the budget for the current year will not be paid in to the school district until after, one-half of next year's ex pense has been incurred. In a. community that is rapidly growing, any estimate that may be made as to the expense that will probably be incurred is a mere guess. But no matter what it may be the money will not be received from the tax payments until after the school year is finished. Thus any school district, unless it has a surplus fund on hand, is com pelled to issue warrants to enable it to function. Wins Honor 1 , x& m V 1 7 . n University of Oregon, Eugene.
