Kincaid; song, "So Say We All of Us," by the au dience. The main feature of the program was a talk by Senator Sam H. Brown, candidate for governor. Mr. YOU'RE WITH CAR RENE En w w , i - -"j Brown's talk touched on the Fra zier bill, truck and bus bill, ice cream bill, public utilities, state banking bill, and told in a general way of legislative doing at the state house. Mr. Brown is a farmer of Marion county and has been a mem ber of the state legislature for the past twenty years. He believes that the hydro-electric energy of the state of Oregon should be retained and preserved as the common heri tage of the people. Its ownership development and distribution should remain in their hands and they should directly benefit therefrom by receiving it at cost. He also be lieves that the "Blue Sky Law" should be made more stringent and be amended so as to make it impos sible for the sale of spurious bonds to the unsuspecting public with re sultant hardships and poverty to the victims. He believes in the re habilitation of state and county owned lands. All public owned land whether it be agricultural, grazing, or timber, or suitable for reforesta tion purposes, should be classified. The land should be reasonably priced and sold on very easy terms to actual settlers, with low interest, thereby placing it upon the tax rolls at the earliest possible moment Mr. Brown also believes in the main tenance of strictest conomy, plac ing state employees under civil ser vice, and the abolishment of the of fice of budget director. "The Gleaner" was read by Hila Timm; a skit, "Hi-lights in Farm ing" was put on by the wives of the agricultural committeemen; "Oh, Smile," was sung by the audience as a closing song. Election of subordinate officers was held at the business meeting, and reports mailed to the state grange. A. L. Lundell was elected by Willows grange as a member on the county cooperative shippers or ganization being formed. The coun- It's a pleasant feeling to know what's inside your refrigerator.
