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 how well that newspaper is iea Postal deposits have doubled in the last year.

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. z At N ew L ow Prices IOR NEW TONE CUNNINGHAM TUBES C om plete S ervice When you go to a service station there is satisfac- lion in knowing that your car can be taken care of by experts in every department.
