WINNING TEN NATIONAL LEAGUE PENNANTS EIGHT COUNTIES ‘I Mr. Upson is around again Mr. Upson, you will remember, is the person who has developed a means of saving the world from monumental government expense by i he consolidation of the coun ties of Oregon into eight super-counties. While we cannot express much-joy over the fact that Mr. Upson is up and around ^gain we are not surprised for these reformers are of a never dying breed. The super county into which we of Sherman county would be placecf would be made up of eight units of the thirty six. It would have an area of 14,402 square miles, a larger area than is in the states of NeW Jersey, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island or Vermont. Our super county would^ be twelve times as large as some of these states. » We would do away with the county sheriff’s office and use the state police. The state police are those nattily dressed men in blue who cost the state approximately half a million dollars per year, a greater sum than it takes to hire the sheriffs to do the criminal civil and tax collection work The police merely handle the crim inal end This consolidation plan must be iurthured by persons who have learned nothing from the years since 1929 A majority of the population has come to the conclusion that mere size is not a’, ways a guarantee of economical operation, Mr. Insull, Mr Kreu- ger and Mr Eos hay all had bi x businesses, big consolidations. The big mail order houses have suffered such losses that their stock has been down to five and six while the little business man who has operated his own store has continued to get the s^me pre portion of the trade. If this conso’idation .n government is so good a thing why not combine the statc^of Oregon and Washington this year arid then later we could add Idaho,“Montana, and maybe Utah and Nevada. By increasing th » size of our governmental units it would be made possible for one to travel..a hundred miles to serve on a jury in jur. tice court and t • be :alje I as a jur »r or wiin?ss in circuit court\Vould ' bean experience worthy of relating for the remainder of a life.

WNU Thomas R. McGinnis, former sher iff of Sherman county died at his home in Corvallis Thursday morning. Mr- McGinnis lived in this county from 1895 until about twenty five years ago when he moved to the val- ley town. The deceased was born, December 2, 1855 in Ohio and In 1883 when a resident of Iowa he wa3 married to Maggie Coleman who is a sister of Mrs- R J. Gym and J. F.
