Which way will Mahoney jump?
That seems to be the burning
question in certain political circles
just now. The tiery, lighting mayor
of Klamath Falls, who cut such, a
big swath in the recent democratic
primaries has let it be known that
he expects to get into the guberna
torial campaign in a big way some
time next month. But he hasn't
said who he will support. Hence
the worry lines in the brows of
campaign managers. If they knew
what to expect, it is argued, they
could plan their own moves to
checkmate him.
All of which seems to be a lot of
needless worry to one on the politi
cal sidelines. Straws and currents by
which future events are generally
judged seem to point in only one
direction. Certainly Mahoney can
not be expected to support General
ilartin whom he fought with every
weapon at his command in the pri
mary campaign. .Neither is it log
ical to suppose that he would sup
port Dunne, the regular republican
nominee, llahoneys leanings and
sympathies are entirely on the side
of Peter Zimmerman, independent
progressive. Both are radicals of
the left wing. Both are bitter op
ponents of the power trust and the
financial interests. They have many
views in common. Therefore if our
hunch is worth anything at all, and
it may not be, the worried cam
paign managers can take a tip from
us that when Mahoney does break
his silence it will be to support Zim
merman in his campaign for the
governorship.
But the candidates are not de
voting their time to worrying about
what Mahoney intends to do. All
three of them are constantly on the
wing. Dunne, acompanied by Ar
thur Priaulx, republican committee
chairman, has invaded eastern Ore
gon for an intensive hand shaking
and luncheon speaking campaign.
General Martin spent last week in
the Willamette valley and this week
is in eastern Oregon while his cam
paign managers have been opening
up new headquarters in Portland
from which to direct the fight from
now on. Zimmerman seems to be
the only one of the trio who is re
sorting to the old fashioned speak
ing campaign. The progressive can
didate has a speaking engagement
practically every night and is said
to be attracting good sized audi
ences at every stand which is rath
er remarkable in this radio age
when folks would rather sit at home
than go to the bother of motoring
down to the armory or to some
grange hall to hear some promising
candidate tell how he expects to
save the country if given the opportunity.

Storey, Thorndike, Palmer and
Podge. Attorneys for a Portland
bank, however, have questioned the
validity of the act, contending that
it violates the constitutional inhibi
tion against public indebtedness
without consent of the voters.
Hence the mandamus suit in which
the court is asked to act as referee
and settle the argument
An aggressive campaign of tax
foreclosures, involving properties
on which taxes are delinquent prior
to 1930 is to be undertaken at once
in practically eveiy county of the
state. This was agreed upon at a
conference here last week attended
by district attorneys and tax collec
tors. Discussions at the conference
revealed the fact that in some coun
ties tax delinquencies run as far
back as twelve to fourteen years.
Some of the tax collectors favored
a liberalization of tax laws in order
that homes and farms might be
saved from foreclosure while others
inclined to the view that tax laws
in Oregon were already too liberal
and encouraged tax delinquencies.
Much sentiment was found favor
able to a proposal that tax payments
be arranged upon an easier payment
basis such a3 the ten-installment
plan recently advanced in Multno
mah county.
Tourist business in Oregon con
tinues on the upgrade. Automobile
registration figures at the end of
August were 9.8 percent greater
than those for the same period in
1933 according to reports to the
state department. Registration of
foreign cars in Oregon for the eight
months of this year totalled 68,752.
Last year only 62,919 tourist cars
had entered the state up to Sep
tember 1. Registration during Aug
ust alone totalled 17,754 cars.

ANDERSON TRIAL
GETS UNDER WAY
(Continued from First Page)
Max Gehlhar has let it be known
that he expects to retire from pub
lic life at the end of the year when
his present term as director of agri
culture expires. The announcement
has given rise to speculation as to
the posibility of retaining Gehlhar
as manager of the state fair even if
he does step out as director of the
department of agriculture. Of
course that would necessitate an
amendment to the present act which
ties the two offices in together, but
that could no, doubt be arranged.
Gehlhar has made an outstanding
success as manager of the fair.
Taking the institution when it was
bankrupt and when many of its
friends wanted to suspend it tem
porarily he has paid off all of the
indebtedness which he inherited
from his predecessors and put the
fair on a self-supporting basis. This
year's show, in many respects was
the best in the history of the state.
The grounds and buildings were in
better condition, exhibits and dis
plays fully up to standard and the
entertainment features far above
the average as witness the capacity
crowds of the week. Gehlhar says
that his present job interferes with
his private business and means a
personal sacrifice on his part but
as manager of the fair he could de
vote at least a part of his time to
private affairs and Oregon will have
to go a long way to find a man who
can do as good a job with its annual
agricultural and industrial exposi
tion.
Uncle Sam has relented from his
threat to cut off Oregon's share of
unemployment relief funds enough
to come through with the regular
allotment for September. Harry
L. Hopkins federal relief adminis
trator, in a telegram to Governor
Meier, says that the attempt to fi
nance unemployment relief through
the sale of certificates of indebted
ness, has convinced him of the
state's good faith, hence the Sep
tember allotment. Whether the al
lotments will continue to come is
not indicated. The supreme court
will probably pass on the validity of
the proposed certificates before an
other month rolls around.
The fire marshal's office has de
clared two frame buildings at the
school for blind to be fire traps and
recommends their replacement with
more substantial structures. An
appropriation for this purpose was
defeated by the 1933 legislature be
cause of the economy program, but
the attempt to secure funds will
probably be renewed at the forth
coming session.
Every city in Oregon, large or
small, will be interested in the out
come of the mandamus suit filed In
the supreme court this week by
taxpayer of the city of Reedsport.
The suit involves the validity of an
act passed by the regular legislative
session of 1933 authorizing city
councils to Issue refunding bonds
without bothering about an election
to consult the views of the voters.
The act was intended to help pear
bankrupt municipalities, of which
there are said to be a number in
Oregon, solve their financial prob
lems by making it as easy as possl
ble to refinance unretired matured
bonds on a more avantageous ba
sis. Attorney General Van Winkle

Though the trial has proceeded
slowly, there has been much to keep

with interest. Lawyers and judge
nave shown themselves to have a

Spring Blowing Results Vary
Canyon City Experimental work
in blowing out mud springs on cat
tle ranches of Grant county during
the past month gave varying re
sults, reports R. G. Johnson, county
agent One was blown on the Lew
Morris ranch, two on the Oliver
brothers place and five on the C. W.
Craddock ranch. The one on the
Morris ranch failed to give much
increase in flow. One on the Oli
ver ranch gave only a slight in
crease, while the other gave enough
water for a band of sheep. None
of the springs shot on the Craddock
ranch was entirely a failure, while
one of them immediately gave a
flow that filled a 1 inch pipe and
later increased to a 2 inch intake.
Grtjuille Trial plantings of lima
beans to determine whether this
prop will do well in Coos county
were established this summer on
the farm of Henry George of Co-
quille, In cooperation with County
Agent George Jenkins. Successive
plantings were made weekly from
June 15 to about the middle of
July, to find the proper time of
planting to have the matured beans
ready for market about the middle
of October.
More Freshmen Expected

Freshman week, which opens at
Oregon State college Monday, Sep
tember 24, is considered by officials
there the most important week for
the beginning student, and far from
merely a "rush" week that some
have considered it in the past. Ev
ery new student is expected to at
tend the freshman week classes the
same a3 those which follow, says E.
B. Lemon, registrar.
Events of this year's freshman
week include many forms of per
sonal guidance found by 10 years
of experience with this introduc
tory period to be most helpful to
the incoming student. Such close
personal relationships are establish
ed with faculty members during
the week that a student coming
without definite decision as to his
course may be assured of adequate
guidance. Social events are not
omitted either.
Indications point to a substantial
increase both in freshman and oth
er student registration this year at
