THURSDAY. N- VEMBER 1». 1931
A DAY'S BAY FROM THE PUBLIC PURSE
Judge C. P. Barnard’s plan of having employees on the
public payroll donate one day's pay a month for relief funds
is a good suggestion. However, it will require voluntary
support on the part of the employee, especially those whose
salary is Tixed by law or teachers on contract.
Employees working steadily without cut in wages, as
has been the case of the public payroll in lane county, are
now the best off of any class of ¡»eople. Their dollars will
purchase 20 to 40 per cent more than any time since the
wir. They should be generous to the unemployed.
Heretofore relief funds have mostly been raised by
solicitations from the business men of the cities. This year
the business man is not able to give heavily and the de
mands are greater.
The giving of a day's j»a.v each month will not material
ly affect the well being of the public employee and would
result in the raising of thousands of dollars for relief. We
shall now see whether those to whom the public has been
generous with will come forward and volunteer this aid.
If they expect to maintain present wage schedules in future
this is their opportunity to enlist strong public support.
PROOF OF RIVER TRANSPORTATION
Two boats have been running all summer between
Portland and Salem. Each carries a cargo of about 80 tons
up stream and 175 tons down stream. Two or three trips
a week were made. Freight rates by boat are much lower
than by any other method. That should be sufficient proof
that if the Willamette river were canalized this community
would benefit in the same way Salem is benefitted.
Salem has a large paper mill, a dozen fruit canneries,
two flax plants and numerous other industries. Marion
county has neither the area nor the natural resources as
has Lane and besides Salem is subjected to greater com
petition from Portland. Cheaper transportation is one of
the basic reasons for Salem going ahead industrially. We
should learn from our down stream neighbors.
The 100 billion dollar payroll in this country in 1929
has been decreased about 10 per cent at present. During
this same period savings bank deposits have increased by
30 millions and commercial accounts 150 millions of dollars.
On the face of these figures it would seem that we have
become more thrifty. However, our kind of thrift puts
people out of work, and causes w hat is known as depres
sions. When we cease to consume it becomes tough on
those whose livlihoOd is to make and sell.
Death and a few elections in the east has caused the
Democratic party to gain a majority in the federal house of
representatives, The organization may be democratic
when congress convenes next month. Our own Congress
man Hawley may lose his position as chairman of the
powerful ways and means committee. We imagine the
democratic leadership is none too enthusiastic over the
job with the prohibition issue looming up as the biggest
question on the horizon.
The Japs and the Chinamen and perhaps a few thous
ands of Russians are fighting in Manchuria over a railroad
that was built with European capital. It won't be much
of a war, however, because none of the parties have suffi
cient money to finance a war, without they can float a few
loans and their security is bad—Sad news for munition
makers.
Sometimes it takes an error Li a n .spapei to tell

OLD MAIDS
It had been a very pleasant crossing of the ocean and
all of us who had been passengers had become well ac
quainted.
As the big ship moved slowly to her pier we stood on
the promenade deck looking into mass of up-turned faces,
each hoping to discover a relative or friend.
Suddenly a woman beside me began to wave her hand
kerchief, and, from the pier, an old lady waved back.
“That’s my aunt,’’ the woman confided in me. “Dear
old Aunt Julia. My husband sent me a wireless that he is
sick in bed with grippe. My mother is in the South. I was
afraid there would be no one to meet me.
“But I might have known. Aunt Julia never fails. Bless
ed old maid, she mothers us all. How could we ever live
without her!”
On the pier 1 was introduced to Aunt Julia. A trim
little figure of a woman budding over with unselfishness,
ladened with an extra coat and a pair of overshoes— Just
in case her loving niece might happen to be cold.
Having just come from France, and feeling very con
tinental, I bent over and kissed her hand. She blushed like
a girl.
“You mustn’t try to flatter an old lady,” she said. But
it was no attempt at flattery; it was an act of reverence.
She is a member of the noblest clan in the world.
1 had been reading, on the boat, a book about the
Bronte family. Mr. Bronte was a self-centered country par
son, who wore out his wife by making her the mother of
six children in six years. Left with the motherless brood on
his hands, he cast around for help, and thought of his wife’s
maiden sister. She, poor thing, was living peacefully in a
lovely little town, with an income sufficient to provide com
fortably for her simple wants. There was every selfish rea
son why she should stay just where she was.
Yet, at his summons, she did not hesitate. She cast
aside every personal consideration, came down to the bleak
parsonage in its ugly part of England and proceeded, for
the rest of her life, to devote herself to those children.
How many millions of similar instances have there
been in history! What a priceless wealth of affection is
poured out on the other people’s children by aunts and
nurses and cooks and teachers to whom Fate gives no chil
dren of their own! How could humanity conduct Its exist
ence without them?
1 though of these things as I watched Aunt Julia wrap
up her niece and hurry away. I lifted my hat reverently and
Waved them good-bye.
