Adventists Oppose Beer
Bill Pending in Congress
In an enthusiastic mass meeting
held at the Seventh-day Adventist
church in Boardman January 7th
an audience of ardent prohibition
and temperance advocates unani
mously adopted a petition opposing
Beer Bill H. R. 13742, which has al
ready been passed in the house of
representatives, and which is now
pending before the United States
senate. The petition, which is to
be sent lmmedlatetly to Senator
Steiwer was presented by J. M,
Nearness, pastor of the church,
The petition, and the reasons for
their opposition to the beer bill
and like attempts to modify the
Volstead act and repeal the 18th
amendment were as follows:
"Alcohol Is a narcotic It pois
ons the system, disqualifying the
user for business; it paralyzes in
austries Dy unnumg the users
thereof for the regular perform
ance or work.
"It Impoverishes the families of
the ordinary workmen, leaving in
us wane sorrow, poverty, shame
and often complete ruin.
It endangers life. Twenty-six
million automobiles and automobile
trucks, carrying millions off our
people at high rates of speed, make
It Imperative that only peonl
should drive who do not use alcohol
In any degree. What affects one
driver seriously might not affect
the other, but the one affected is
menace to life and property.
"Why should a great country like
America stoop to raising revenue
for the maintenance of its govern
ment from the sale of alcoholic bev
erages which have in their use all
the elements of waste, crime, and
death?" was a pertinent question
In the petition, which closed with u
very Impressive appeal as follows;
"In the name of humanity, social
justice, and the general welfare we
beseech your honorable body not
to give your support to this meas
ure that would legalize the sale of
Intoxicating beverages."
Several copies of petitions' for
signatures were circulated among
those In attendance, the receivers
stating that they would visit resi
dents of the community to secure
signatures that the representatives
in Congress may know that the
people back home are against the
return of beer or any other intox
icating beverages,

STATE'S SCHOOLS
TAKE LARGE CUT
Board's Biennial Report Shows Re
duction Now Made or Ordered
Totals One Third of Funds.
That higher education in Oregon
ha3 already gone far with economy
in state affairs by reduction in ex
penditures of about 22 per cent in
the past two years, and will cut still
further to more than 31 per cent
on the basis of prospective income
from present authorized sources, is
shown In the biennial report of the
state board of higher education re
cently issued for distribution to
members of the legislature, state
officials and libraries.
The published report provided for
by law contains 151 pages and in'
eludes the report of the board for
the system as a whole, the report
for the Universty of Oregon sub
mitted by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall,
president there during the 1931-32
biennlum, the report of Oregon
State college by Dr. W. J. Kerr,
formerly president there though
now chancellor of the system, and
the report of the normal schools
submitted by J. A. Churchill, direct
or of elementary teacher training.
Average reduction for the past
two years amounts to $1,161,291 as
compared with the average expen
ditures for each year of the 1929-30
blennium, the report shows. Cur
tailments effected by the board in
cluded salaiy reduction through
out the system already in effect
ranging from 5 to 15 per cent,
which involved savings at the rate
of J182.000 per year.
In order to meet further shrink
age in Income from present author
ized sources, additional curtail
ments for the system aggregating
$830,000 are outlined by the board
In its report, part of which will be
made up by further reducing salar
ies so that the total cut under the
1931-32 base will range from 9 to
27 per cent Additional drastic sav
ings in the salary account are being
made by heavy reduction In number
of staff members, made possible
through consolidation of certain de
partments, decreased enrollment,
and complete elimination of some
former activities.
Continuing appropriations re
stricted to branch experiment sta
tions, extension work and similar
projects in agriculture and home
economics the only state income
outside of the millage now coming
to higher education will be auto
matically reduced through shrink
age in county appropriations which
are matched by the state, the re
port points out.
"Such changes in organization
will be effected as will insure the
greatest possible efficiency at the
lowest possible cost," the board's
report concludes. "Effort is being
made in all cases to retain as many
as possible of the most essential
types of work In the various insti
tutions. "While reductions have already
been such that efficient service is
threatened in many phases of work,
the board is deeply conscious of the
economic emergency through which
the state is passing and Is resolved
to make the best of the situation."

Washington, D. C, (Autocaster)
January 25. No President within
the memory of anyone now living
was so universally popular with all
ranks and kinds of people as was
Calvin Coolidge. It is probably true
that among people of all parties,
beliefs and callings, he had fewer
enemies and more genuine admir
ers than any President since Wash
ington.
Here in Washington there is lit
tle reverence for Presidents as such.
They come and go, while the per
manent inhabitants of the District
of Columbia stay on their jobs. But
for once official Washington was
genuinely and deeply grieved when
the news oame that Mr. Coolidge
was no more. And wherever his
name was spoken there was some
reference to Mrs. Coolidge who en
deared herself to all classes of peo
ple in Washington as few Presi
dents' wives have ever been able
to do.
People liked Mr. Coolidge because
he didn't pretend to be anything
but what he was, just one of the
ordinary common people. They
liked him, too, for his dry Yankee
humor, and it will be years before
Washington gets through repeating
humorous anecdotes about him.
One of the stories most frequent
ly told is that at a dinner which he
attended when Vice-President, a
lady sitting on his left said to him,
"I have made a bet that I can get
you to say three words.
"You lose," replied Mr. Coolidge.
Those Few Words
A few years ago two. or three
books were published which attack
ed the character of George Wash
ington. A newspaper man asked
Mr. Coolidge what he thought of
him. He looked out of the south
window of his office toward the
Washington Monument
"I notice his monument still
stands," he said.
Frank W. Stearns of Boston, Mr.
Coohdges closest friend, tells
story illustrating the late Presi
dent's capacity for silence when he
had nothing to say. The day Mr.
Coolidge was nominated for Vice-
President he asked Mr. Stearns to
take a ride with him. The Govern
or of Massachusetts said, "How do
you do?" when they met They
drove fifty miles, till Mr. Coolidge
said, "guess it's time to turn back."
And that Mr. Stearns declares, was
the entire conversation of the 90
mile drive.
Mr. Coolidge was very fond of
walking around the streets of
Washington and looking into the
shop Windows. He was seldom rec
ognized, merely because people
don't expect to rub elbows with the
President of the United States on
"F" Street There was always a
secret service man close by. One
day Mr. Coolidge was hailed by a
passing motorist from a distant
state who wanted to know how to
find the nearest road to Baltimore.
With great pains Mr. Coolidge drew
a map on the back of an envelope
and gave it to the tourist who
thanked him and drove on, totally
unconscious of the fact that he had
been guided by the President of
the United States.
A lady who was introduced to
President Coolidge at a White
House reception spoke of a speech
which he had recently made. "I en
joyed it so much I stood up all
through it," she said.
"So did I," said Mr. Coolidge.

In Rocking Chairs
When the Cootkiges first went to
the White House he surprised the
staff by having rocking-chairs
placed on the west portico, which
fronts on Pennsylvania Avenue,
Washington's main thoroughfare.
This is really the back of the WhlU
House, the south front looking out
over a hundred acres or so of en
closed lawn and being screened
from sightseers by thick groves of
trees. But Mr. Coolidge said that
he liked to see the automobiles go
by. Within a day or two, however,
the automobiles got the habit of
stopping in front of the White
House, so that their occupants
could stare at the President sitting
on his veranda, and more because
rt was obstructing traffic than from
annoyance at being stared at, Mr.
Coolidge consented to having the
rocking chairs moved to the south
poryco.
Few men could say more In fewer
words. After all, how can the old
American position on the matter of
war debts be better summed up
than in the simple brief sentence
with which Mr. Coolidge answered
the question as to whether he
thought Europe should be required
to pay.
"They hired the money, didn't
they?"
Contrary to the general belief Mr.
Coolidge did not pick Mr. Hoover
as his successor. He liked Mr. Hoo
ver and Mr. Hoover liked him. The
two men met at Mr. Coolidge's Wis
consin fishing camp during the sum
mer of 1928, after Mr. Hoover's
nomination. They posed together
for the newspaper photographers
sitting on the bank of a stream,
"If you gentlement would talk to
each other it would make a better
picture," one of the photographers
suggested. Mr. Coolidge turned to
Mr. Hoover and said something to
him in a low tone. Mr. Hoover
made no reply.
"It's no use boys, I can't get Mr.
Hoover to talk," said Mr. Coolidge
without the slightest change of ex
pression. Since January 5th there has been
no living ex-President of the Uni
ted States. That has been the case
only five times before in our his
tory, and then only for a few
months at a time. Two former
Presidents, Taft and Coolidge, have
died since Mr. Hoover became Pres
