J THE decision of the supreme court In re."rrnc to the TaJidity of the tux supervisine; commission law i leaves a question as to the validity j of any payment that might be made by the county court to the secretary of the county commission. Courts, no doubt, will be mighty wary of pay ing out money under the provisions of a law that is invalid. Some tax payer miffht be in a notion to enjoin them, or, if too late for that, to swear out a warrant charging misap propriation of public funds. In the accounts sent out from Sa lem regarding the savings effected by the law, the statement is made that the state has been saved a million dollars and the amounts are given by counties. If these amounts are anything like the amounts given for Benton county, the saving is more apparent than real. In this county, for instance, all the "savingV are in school district levies. Most of them were mere clerical errors. All of them were dis covered by County Superintendent Castle and reported to the commission and would have been made whether or not the commission hal ever bcr-r thought of. Corvallis Gaiette-Times. s-s-s AND THERE IS NO PEACE. IN THE United States during the past year, thousands of persons wrote thetr ideas on how world peace could be attained. Some wrote in the hope that they could share in the Boa peace prise. Others wrote for the sheer love of peace. In China, a magazine is conducting a similar contest, designed to obtain ideas which will lead to peace in that ancient and troubled land. In Eu rope and the rest of the world, great thinkers nave given their time and thought to the mighty problem of ending war. And the net result is that the Nobel Committee decided not to award the annual peace prize for 1923. The world cries for peace and dreams of peace. But there is no peace. A glance over the world discloses few wars of any consequence. True in Mexico, Mexicans have been fight ing Mexicans. Afghans have been menacing the passes as usual. The Spanish Ministry has been in some doubt whether ransoms or arms must settle its African problem. In the Ruhr, armed invaders bear rule. And wy " 111 t" , We dnr the starry hfvi with onr msclo woolen wine, and we warMe I t maoliliwrx njr time we wnt to shis: w have done away wilh huaaea, and divorced the imili'j vv. and we cultivate our fod der with an automatic plow.

I ain't surprised at anything In tliia flamboyant life, they tell me they are testln' out an automatic wife ! ! ! in Russia, the military establishment holds the government in power. But of real orderly war. with lines of bat tle, trenches, bombing planes, poison pas and swivel chair heroes, the year 1933 was singularly free. Still, tht Nobel Committee, in all tha world, was unsble to find one man or woman whose efforts on behalf of peaea de served its award. There will be none to criticise the committee's action or rather refusal to act . It was practically a rebuke to the world for its failure to advance the cause of peace. There sr. no wars in the world, but the world la in a decidedly less favorable position in connection with peace than it was a year ago. The peoples of all lands want peace, but the statesmen who hsve risen to power in recent months are not notably pacific characters. M. Poincare's administration has been one of might. Russia maintains its arrogant government. Mussolini, in Italy, is far from being an apostle of peace. General Primo de Riveria, in Spain, stands for the rule of blood and iron. The year just closed was one in which many of the nations were simply great armed camps. Mny, too, complained of their dire financial and industrial straits. It is to be hoped that the Nobel Committee will be able to award a prize at the close of this year. Perhaps someone, who can teach the nations to work rather than to arm and drill, will be entitled to the prise. Dearborn Inde pendent. S-S-S THE WORLD'S MOST PROTECTED PEOPLE. THE American people are the most perfectly protected people in the world. Figures made public in Washington show that in the matter of insurance this country per capita is so far ahead of all other countries that there is scarcely a second in the race, though Great Britain hob bles along next to the United States. The figures in themselves are start ling. More important, however, is the lesson they convey the story they tell. First, they bespeak a strong sense of honor and a wilting acceptance of responsibility on the part of the American husband and father. )CuMeeMoTFai, Jnf mhit I lading If Walter L. Hodees had been content to remain an obscure farm band on an Indiana ranch nineteen years aeo he would not now be the Hon. Walter L. llodnes, Los Anfteles millionaire. In 1903, poverty stricken, uneducated, sickly, he was earning fifty cents a day on a little ranch he didn't own. His mother-in law fell heir to a note for $3 000 given by a teaming comiij.v. She traded the note to Hodaec. Making his way to Los Ancelefl he forced the company to pive him sixteen mules and four wagons. But what was be to do with sixteen hungry mules? Hiding one of them and leading the other fifteen be found a gravel bed on a I.os Anzeles river, where he could get gravel free. On his nerve alone he hired three negro drivers and with them began hanling gravel into I-os Angeles at f2.50 a load. At the end of two years he had not made a cent- To make money he uiurt find a shorter hauL He found a bed of gravel four miles nearer Los Angeles. Demand for gravel at $2.50 a load was great, but at the end of a year he was $18,0u0 in debt- In a department store, where he had gone to buy overalls, he saw an ecalator. Hurrying to a Junk dealer be obtained an assortment of old machinery aud nillrer belting, and in a week had erected a long, heavy movable belt running from bis crushing platform down Into the ravine. One man could thus load more rock onto this belt and have It dumped at the crusher than fourteen could handle before. His lousiness tzan to show a slight profit. At night he studied in the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A., walking twelve miles eah day to do so. But seven months Inter, he found himself J-'ifr.Ow In debt. (me Monday a note for $10.ju fell due. He went to the bank and asked to eee the president. "I'm through." said Hodges. "How much do you need?" asked the banker. He loaned him llo.UX) more. Then the tide set bis way. In 12 months he paid the bank. Then fire wljwd him out, causing a $70,000 loss. But from insurance money be built a better plant. Smx months later a flood swept down and burled his new plant under sand. Hla loss was 10,000. He built a new plsnt and sold tha sand. In May, W22. his profits were so great that he sold his Interest to a Western corporation for $1,100,000 cash. to make sala of the real property mortgaged to ths plaintiff to aacar the payment of said judgment. I will in rompllsnoa with tht com mand of said writ, on Saturday, ths 2nd day of February. 1934, at the hoar of X o'clock in the afternoon of said day, at the front door of tht Court House in Heppner, Morrow County, State of Oregon, offer for salt and sell at public auction to tht hightst bidder for cask in band, all of tht right, title and interest which tht within defendanta, H.

Complaint is often heard that de spite the grest earning power of the average American, it is impossible for him to save sufficient money to ensure tht safety of his family in east of death or permanent disability. Perhaps there may be some basis for this assertion. But there is no basis for tht assertion that tht average man cannot protect his family, that he cannot, by reasonablt saving, pro- vide an tstatt for those he must leave behind without actually setting aside tht lump sum which otherwise would be necessary, and which would greatly lower the standard of his living. Insurance is now well out of the realm of the luxuries. It has passed from the stage of the gamble. It has developed into an integral part of American life, so interwoven with our social fabric that today any man finds it possible to protect his family, and all wise men do so. Protection of the family, the cer tainty that the widow will not want or the child be neglected means more to this country than mere saving to the state. It means added production. The man who looks the world in the face nnafraid is stimulated to greater deeds of daring and accomplishment. Fear of the future has kept countless thousands of men in the ruts of me diocrity. With fear removed, with confidence established, the man can stretch his wings and grasp such op portunity as presents with reasonable safety. America's appreciation of insurance is an evidence of American intelli gence. Today, only the dullard and the utterly thoughtless are unprotect ed.
