GOVERNOR AL TO BEAT
All the Republican candidates for the nomi na
tion realize they have Governor Norblad to beat.
They^have given him thte acid test whenever a
chance presented itself. So far only Harry Cor
bett is thought to have a chance with the govern
or, according to views of shrewd political ob
servers. Whether it is Norblad or Corbett
depends upon the campaign from now on, it is
believed.
Most of the candidates for governor are cap
able ahd would, no doubt, make good executives
if elected. However, many people are saying “we
know what we have with Governor Norblad, so
why change to a new man whom we are not cer
tain of.”
The time has arrived when every citizen should
ask other citizens if he has been counted in the
census. Census enumeration only comes once
In every ten years and the figures gathered now
must stand until 1940. Necessarily we want every
woman and child counted.
Well, if Springfield could have counted Glen
wood, Goshen, Jasper, Thurston, Marcola, Wend
in g and Coburg, which are rightfully in her
’‘metrqpolitan area,” this would be a big town.
Staying inside her own corporate limits at census
time sort of cramps an enterprising city’s style.

Several of the last season fruit

growers than were expected.
HOSPITAL AND PUBLIC
MARKET ARE TAXABLE
FIGHTERS
The officers of a great chain of stores were
sitting at lunch, and making good progress with
their business discussion when somebody men
tioned a forthcoming prize fight.
Instantly all business conversation ceased;
every man leaned forward eagerly to present his
view on the more engrossing subject.
On another occasion I stopped at the offices
of J. P. Morgon and company to see one of the
partners. His secretary apologised. “You will
have to wait a few minutes,” he said. “They will
be down from lunch a little late today. They are
entertaining Gene Tunney.”
One could write several different kinds of com
ments on these incidents.
One might, if piously Inclined, view with alarm
the absorption of the best business minds in a low
and brutal form of sport.
The Producers' Public market
building in Eugene is taxable and
taxes will be assessed against both it
and the Pacific Christian hospital,
according to Ben F. Keeney, Lane
county assessor. Some dissention
arose some time ago when he ruled
that the two properties were taxable,
so he asked members of the state
tax commission for an opinion and
they have ruled that although the
market building is owned by a frater
nal society whose property is not
usually taxed, the status of the build
ing in question is different, because
It is used exclusively for profit mak
ing enterprises.
The case of the Pacific Christian
hospital was also cited. It has not
been taxable while being owned and
operated by a religious organization,
but the establishment of it as a pri
vate business venture has made it
taxable, says Keeney.
