CASCADE CHAPTER SENDS FLANERYS’ ENTERTAIN TEN TO GROVE MEETING TEACHERS ON FRIDAY Sixth Installment IMITATION ECONOMY tut* talk about economy and the m andate of the people for curtailed governm ent expense the ways and m eans com m ittee seems to have made no headway in re ducing Ute budget below the governor’s figures, reports H o rn Salem indicate. To date the net result of this com m ittee’s work Is an increase of $171,812 in the general bud get aside from higher education, and it is now attem pted to cut $575,260 out of the higher education funds to make up lor these increases allowed in state governm ent oper ation. Plans are also out to raid the highway commission and other self sustaining revenue bodies in order to effect an imitation of economy. W it h a ll The efforts of this committee, it seems to us, is to take money out of one pocket and put it in another then point to the empty pocket as if a saving had been made. The Oregon Voted sums up the work of the Ways and Means committee* as follows: On budget recommendation» for appropriations aggregating $6.- 313.lt«, it has up; Led reductions amounting to $118.975 and allowed increases amounting to $141.379, or a net Increase of $22,404. In addition, for items no! recommended in Mie budget, it has recom mended appropriations amounting to an increase of $59,518. It has restored a millage not recommended in the budget. amounting to an Increase of $51,890. It has re tored countinuing appropr ations not recommended in the budget, amounting to an Increase of $38,000. Foregoing amount to a Total Increase of $171.812. Its recommendation for decreasing of higher education millage and continuing appropriations amount Io recommended Decreases of $5,5.280, not quite worked out as yet to their mechanisms in applica tion. The net decrease may be somewhat less than this total. It recommendations for diversions from the highway revenues and ether self-sustaining funds are estimated to aggregate a Diversion of $778.942. That the legislature will sustain this division Is doubtful; Its effect would be to force a bond Issue by the highv-ay commission of possibly $500.000. By adding the diversion and the higher education decrease and subtracting the net Increaaes of appropriat ons. continuing appropria tions and millage (minus $171,812 i there will appear to be a net saving of $1,180,390. This Is the supposed sailing of a million that Is being hearlded through the press and over the rad o. As a saving It dis appears under analysis except that part of It which is a heavy cut into higher education so far as applied. We will now proceed to vote by states to am end the United S tates constitution repealing the eighteenth am end ment. It takes 36 states to m ake the whole country wet. We believe that the majority sentim ent in this country is wet but 13 is an unlucky num ber for the wets if th at m any states propose to rem ain dry. The drys will no doubt point out that there were 13 original states in the beginning which started this nation and it only takes 13 to save it from the curse of drink An interesting and heated battle is before us. Middle west farm ers seem to have devised an effective weapon in farm m ortgage foreclosures by gathering and bidding in property for only a few cents. However they v. ould have to stay camped on the courthouse steps continu ally if all m ortgages delinquent were to be foreclosed. Some of the male members of the film colony have started wearing skirts since the kingdom of pants has been invaded by the feminine sex. There is nothing new about that mostly women have been “ wearing the p an ts” for some time. Two Pendleton city counciimen are alleged to have twisted an old m an's nose to get him to sign a hank waiver. We wonder if they devised this method in collecting citv Hens. The “Gin M arriage’’ law is the greatest piece of legisla tion passed in Salem for the benefit of Vancouver, W ash ington. c lfa FAMILY /DOCTOR Y j OHNJOSEPN GAINES MO FUMIGATION \ï -■ -*■ I Too seldom do people fum igate their apartm ents, in these wintry days, when habitations are closed so m any hours of the day and night.
