in a foreign-made play teach
our luscious American screen
stars anything? Apparently. Read
about Mady Christian in "The

joyed this film during July and

from now on:
THIS women's column is for

it. If you want news of the fem
inine working world, professional
or amateur, say so. Help make
this column push it along.
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.

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.

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.
Vote 306 X YES Dennis Resolution
Vote 335 X NO Grange Income Tax Bill
Vote 329 X NO Offset Income Tax BUI

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.
