LEISURE and Life just one big subject will be the general theme of the Recreation Congress to be held in October by the Playground and Recreation Association of Amer ica at Atlantic City. RECREATION leaders say that in dications point toward a decision to hold the congress next year some where down South. This will give the big step ahead for organized play in the southern section. THE Use of Leisure a National Problem. Thus is the program for the Atlantic City meat richly headed. In the general sessions of the con gress leisure will be studied in its re lation to education, the church, labor, life, government, the home, crime, and trained leadership. Sectional meetings will take care of additional subjects. Special railway rates have been granted, and all prophecies are for a record attendance. A COMPLETE list of speakers for the congress has not been an nounced, but the speaker's cmomittee is working on the selection of a group of outstanding leaders who will give valuable messages to delegates this year. Recreation workers will And in the congress opportunities to ex change experience and have fellow ship with fellow workers. Social stu dents will find the chance there to visualize the whole social aspect of the recreation movement. People in general who attend its sessions may cee how recreation can help build homes and communities and influence character and human happiness. JAMES EDWARD ROGERS, director of the Training School of Commu nity Service, maintained by the P. R. A. A., says that American cities and towns have thousands and in the case of the larger communities, millions of hours of leisure daily. "The old day of two parts 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night" says Mr. Rogers, "is gone. The 8-hour work ing day has been practically achieved. The electric light has turned night into day." WITH the shorter working day and labor-saving machinery, people are not so fatigued, Mr. Rogers said. In the evening they seek stimulation and amusement. "Counting the lei sure of men and women," he estim ates, "the recreation hours of all from 7 p. m. to 12, Saturday half holidays, Sundays and the many holi days of the year, it is safe to say hat each individual has 8 hours of leisure each day. Therefore a city of 126,000 souls has EACH DAY A MILLION FREE HOURS of its cit izenship to do with as it pleases." No wonder the problem of what to do with leisure is important! THOSE who cannot attend the con gress may profitably study the use cf these millions of hours of leisure in the old home town. Go about it with an open mind. Remember that the lessening of tensions, both psy chic and physical is desirable. Life builds itself in rhythms. YESTERDAY I watched 10,000 peo ple use up 40,000 hours of leisure in a double-header baseball game. Dixie Series and League Champion ship pennants flying in the breeze, vivid interest in two closely fought (,omes, shouting fans, and nervous players created gorgeous excite ments. Thousands had plenty of fun and stimulation and went home tired, happy and hungry, to eat and sleep. All conrespondence addressed to Kitty Barry Crawford, care of this paper will be answered.

Quality Guaranteed THE BUSY BEE APIARY Banks, Oregon Portland a halfback weighing 186 pounds and who has had one year's experience, proved to be a potential triple threat man. This man, Victor Wetzel of Port land, punted 46 yards, plunged throug the line and acted as both a pass send er and receiver and got away with it in the Husky game. During the past few practice sessions he has been going great guns. Wetzel is the first possibility for triple threat honors here since the days of "Bill" Steers who graduated in 1920. He can pass. Wetzel will be watched closely in the Oregon Stanford game to be played here Oc tober 23, Homecoming. Stanford is rated as a strong team although Coach "Pop" Warner is undergoing a housecleaning with his varsity men. Lamb Crop Average for 7 Years 130 Per Cent A lamb crop that has averaged 130 per cent in the last seven years and a fleece average of 8 pounds of wool in the same period is the record of a flock of sheep on the Union, Or., branch experiment station built up from an original bunch of fair range ewes of mixed breeding. Returns from this flock are mentioned by H. A. Lindgren, livestock speciaii.it " of the extension service of O. A C, as an example of extra profit from a farm flock of sheep made possible by following a management plan that will lower death losses and increase the lamb and wool crops. No undue expense was lavished on the original experiment station flock. The results can be traced, says Mr. Lindgren, to four points use of good pure bred Hampshire bucks, selection of only the best ewe lambs for breed ing purposes, elimination of unprof itable ewes, and good care at lambing time. A policy of buying many ewos, re gardless of quality, when the sheep business was good and selling out ev erything when the market struck bot tom was not followed in handling the station flock. Profits dervied from it are not due to the managemen and care exercised in any one year, but to he cumulative results of many years' v ork along a definite line. W. R. C. HAS PLEASANT MEET. A good attendance was present at tne last regular meeting of the Ws man's Relief Corps, in their head quarters, the pleasing hall of the American Legion and auxiliary. The cocial hour was a strong feature on this occasion and after the business session tables were spread and all enjoyed refreshments. Past Depart ment Aide, Maud C Gilman, who is visiting the Gilmans here wao an hon ored guest. Mrs. Gilman, a member cf George Wright corps of Portland, has long been an active worker in W. R. C. activities and her visit here is much enjoyed. Rawlins corps is holding meetings regularly and much interest is manifested. Press Correspondent. r a; Taxation, Capital and the Oregon Farmer By BRUCE DENNIS Author of the Dennis Resolution. During the heat and excitement of political campaigns and the confusing statements that attend them we are apt at times to forget hard economic facts, and the bitter fruits of some pet "ism" that look good in theory but do heavy damage in practice. II For this reason it is time to begin tell- b ln8 8 few plain truths about land taxation, tne incomes or our people, corporations and industries, and apain tn hrino tn mind JS I the fact that capital does not need Oregon i ' And the reason why we should contin ue to remind ourselves and our friends is because another effort is being made to forca a state income tax upon our people despite the fact that practically the same tax cost many millions in copital and im provements to Oregon and the people of Oregon before it was repealed in 1924. We cannot expect a proved breeder of hard times to bring good times, because it can't be done. And here are a few of the reasons why. In all of Oregon's 96,000 square miies there is an estimat ed population of only 825,000 people less than 9 to the square mile. We have 55,157 farms an average of one to every 15 people. We have only 2500 industries that employ five men or more an average of one industry to every 330 people. Out of Oregon's 825,000 people, 782,256 didn't have net .incomes big enough o file income tax returns. Of the 42,545 who did, one-half of them showed earnings under $3000 and 31 1 had earnings in excess of $10,000. Only one-fifth of Ore gon's 5000 corporations made enough to file returns and of the 1073 reporting, 478 made less than $5000, and only 183 made in excess of $20,000. Our farms and our industries are our two main sources of new wealth. They both face hard problems on account of scant and scattered population, long hauls, competition, insuf ficient capital, and heavy and ever-mounting taxes. If our farms are to prosper they have to secure outside money for loans and money to finance crops. If our industries are to de velop they have to finance their purchases and payrolls. Both have to have markets and that means new people and more industries. That is what the Dennis resolution is designed to do. It is an invitation for capital to come in and help us all out. We desperately need new money to open up the state. We have to have money for farm loans and no matter how pretty this talk sounds about a state income tax we cannot escape the econ-. omic and unalterable fact that new capital which we require does not have to and will not come to Oregon unless we make it advantageous for it to do so. We must remember that there are 120,000,000 people in the United States. Of them one hundred and nineteen million plus, live outside of Oregon. They have plenty of need for the same money in case we of Oregon don't show that we really want it. We tried it once and before the people re pealed the state income tax it cost us millions; drove indus tries, payrolls and taxable wealth out of Oregon and taxes still went up ! Every farmer who had to borrow money knows what it did to him, too. No forward thinkfng and constructive citizen wants that disaster to happen again. Instead of making things hard for everybody farmer, merchant, industrial worker and citizens in general we want to have a purely economic problem taken out of politics. The way to do it is to vote no against both the Grange Income Tax Bill and Offset Income Tax Bill and vote yes for the Dennis resolution. By this means we guarantee to every citizen, in dustry, and to capital that there will be no income tax before 1940. It further guarantees to every family that they will not have to pay taxes on their savings when their bread winner dies. It is a prosperity-making measure it is sound business policy and deserves every progressive citizen's support.

Voters are urged to read Section 4 of trie Housewives' Council Con stitutional Amendment authorizing the State of Oregon to go into irriga tion scheme sand into the business of manufacturing and selling light and power: "Bonds of the State of Oregon, not to exceed five per centum of the assessed valuation of the state, may be issued and sold from time to time to carry out the purpose of his Article and the full faith and credit of the State of Oregon is hereby pledged for the payment of the principal of said bonds as the same mature, and the interest accruing thereon as the same falls due." Every voter should know that the assessed valuation of Oregon is $1,058,880,736, and that the Housewives' Council "Water and Pow er" board could issue and sell bonds for $52,944,000. Your property would be a guarantee for the payment of this huge debt. Oregon's total bonded debt, including that of all political subdivis ions, is now more than $166,000,000. Its State bonded indebtedness alone per capita, $47.08, is the highest in the Union. As fast as this political board might retire bonds, it would have the power to issue more; and as the assessed valuations increased the amount of bonds could also increase.
