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.

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.
