While most voters admit that the law makers in this state are underpaid they do not take kindly to the pro posal to leave the adjustment of the per diem to thoi^ who will benefit thereby. Vocal sentiment throughout the state seems to be pretty well div ided on the student fee bill, with opponents of the measure having the advantage of the “no” votes usually cast by those who are in different as to the fate of a meas ure.

Whitkcy After Holing-Through longest Tunnel Business Survey Being Taken By Hoskinson In a nicely printed booklet the SUte Relief Commit^ has enumerated the projects of the relief organization fo the state of Oregon and given a history of each county iron that standpoint. The paper is excellent, the pictures cleai, the informat < n inaccurate. On the page given to Sherman county the area isgivei as 535,040 acres which is correct. The rainfall is given as 13 inches which is incorrect, the average being 11.19inchei according to the recors of the experiment station The val uation is given as $14^15,373.00 which is just M,456,818.5t more than the valuation giveipn the last official Blue Bool . published by the secretary of state.

The delay ia probabh caused by thought inatead of by inaction and thia ia i hopeful sign that something more permanent than we havi had will be eventually passed. The old story that wher nature wants to make a squash it takes six months and when nature wishes to make an oak it requires a hundred years might well apply to a new plan for agricu ture. It will take some time for the leaders of the several farm groups to agree on a program. Each one has espoused a theory of relief for farmers and thess must be changed and made into one bill so that a united front can be made before congress. This is no time for trouble or disagree ment between farm leaders and there is indication of none. The Grange, the Farm Bureau, the Farmer’s Union anc the many smaller groups have their best opportunity now to prepare a plan for agriculture for leaders of those organ izations have the information and contact with real farmers that is invaluable in making a new bill. So far the criticism of the now famous Al Smith speech has been nothing. Opponents of Mr. Smith have criticised him, but no mention is made of the talk itself. Veterans appear to be in line for the blame for increas ed taxation since the bonus has been passed.
