He states that City Attorney of Forest Grove spoke on the matter of collection of water rates.

A federal man from TV A told of the immense socialistic experiment being tried in the Tennessee val ley. The speaker said that the qustion of electric power was but a small part of the project, that the experiment included preven tion of erosion, crop control and in fact was practically a government controlled farming enterprise.

Roberta’ court Tuesday morning. That naval maneuvers in the Pacific this summer would weaken friendly relations with Japan wax the opinion of the Ashland Min isterial association, according to a resolution of protest passed at a union service in the Nazarene church here last Sunday evening, The service was addressed by Dr. S. L. Bulick, one-time mis sionary to Japan, who discussed American-Japanese relations. The resolution, which wax forwarded to President Roosevelt, was as fol lows: "Resolved, that this mass meet ing of citizens, members of Prot estant churches of Ashland, Ore gon, held Sunday evening, March 24, believes the proposed maneuv ers in the Pacific next May and June are not in keeping with the "good neighbor” policy of the United States in its relation to Japan, since said maneuvers are planned to include waters 1500 miles west of the Hawaiian is lands and therefore will encroach on waters that Japan may proper ly feel come needlessly near her own domain. We therefore heartily support the protest against said maneuvers which was sent on March 10 by more than 100 out standing church leaders of the United States to President Roose velt. “We respectfully request our president, ax comander-in-chief of the military and naval forces of the United States, to take such steps as may be necessary to alter the plans for the proposed man euvers, to the end that they will not become an occasion for sus picion and ill-will on the part of Japan.” Number 13 In A Daze ¿C SOM£_ P lace vn4eCe T4ÌEV «¿IVÉ. ’VA A m e>.-rï2zv C oat .T oo
