Numerous judicial reforms cal culated to speed up court procedure will be recommended to the forth coming legislative session by the committee of 21 lawyers and lay men appointed by Governor Meier to make a study of this subject. Among-other things the committee recommends that the right to grant extension of time in which to com plete appeals to the supreme court be taken out of the hands or circuit judges. It is also recommended that circuit judges be permitted to comment upon the evidence in its instructions to the jury and that most of the present exemptions from jury serivce be repealed. Jus tice George Rossman of the state supreme court is chairman of the committee which asks that it be continued for another two years. John A. Cooter, Lincoln county epresentative who is slated to pre side over the House at the forth coming legislative session, fias al ready become a temporary resident of Salem, having leased the home formerly occupied by Governor Pierce but more recently by Carl Gregg Doney, former president of Willamette university.

Roadside beer parlors are doom ed under an order of the Liquor commission denying licenses to places whose principal business is the serving of drinks. In order to aualifv for beer licenses these places must now go into the restau rant business when they may serve customers seated at tables. Gro cery stores and drug stores in cities over 5000 population are to be de nied the right to serve the amber brew by the glass. The commission is also considering a ban on bunday beer sales. John H. Carkin has been reap pointed as a member of the state tax commission. His commission was signed by Governor Meier and Secretary of State Stadelman. The fact that his commission does not bear the signature of State Treas urer Holman has given rise to some speculation to the effect that Car- kin may not long survive the ad vent of the new state administration. The state now has a $5000 interest in a set of plans for a lot of new public buildings. The plans were drawn by a group of architects un der authority of an act of the spec ial session of 1933 when it was be lieved that Uncle Sam would finance a state building program through his Public Works administration. This program fell through, however, when the federal government re fused to advance the cash on the ground that the projects were not self liquidating. The plans may yet come in handy if the forthcoming legislature decides to approve some of the requests for new buildings which have been filed by a number of state institutions. 9:45 . m. 11 m. m. 6:S0 p. m.

Cash Payment of 'Bonus' Would Bring Large Sum Morrow county would benefit to the extent of $107,125.83 if congress adopts the American Legion s pro posal for immediate payment of the Adjusted Service certincates, commonly misnamed the bonus, as an effective medium for distribu ting the federal governments re lief and recovery fund3. This plan not only assures an equitable dis tribution throughout the country, but it will not add a dollar to the) national debt, says the legion na tional headquarters. The total ben efit to Oregon would be $20,679,034. 90, acordjng to the estimate given. The figures were prepared by representative Wright Patman of Texas and have been declared by officials of the Veterans' adminis tration in Washington to be as nearly correct as it is possible to make them.

An effective planning program would mean that land will not be used in such a way as to be against the public interest. Oregon's land planning problems are mostly tied up with manage ment of public lands within the state, A. S. Burrier, state consultant from Oregon, told the conference. Burrier, who has been "borrowed" temporarily from the farm man agement department at Oregon State college, pointed out that 32 million acres, or almost exactly half of Oregon's area, are under public ownership. About a million acres are under state ownership, and about three quarters of a million acres are un der county or municipal ownership, so that about 95 per cent of the land under public ownership is held by one branch or another of the fed eral government. In instituting planned land use it is essential that the public agencies lead off in setting their own houses in order, Burrier believes. The fed eral managed lands, most of which are in forest reserves, are now in pretty good shape, he said. Passage of the Taylor grazing act and the withdrawal of all remaining parts of the public domain from entry for the present, are big forward steps, he said. The state and county lands are not being administered in any or derly manner as a whole, he add ed. Most of these are unclassified, while the county lands especially, most of which have been taken for taxes, must under present laws be constantly offered for sale even though they are not suitable for further private operation. About a third of the farm lands of the state have been covered by detailed surveys, and extension of such surveys is one of the basic needs of further planning work. FERA research programs are being completed in the. state dealing with tax delinquency, land ownership, and part time farming practices and results. Field data are being assembled and analyses of results are being prepared. Parent Taining Need Is Noted by Educator University of Oregon, Eugene, Dec. 26. The next goal of adult ed ucation in the United States should be a two-fold program of training of parents in relation to their own children, it was declared here by Dr. C. V. Boyer, president of the University of Oregon, in an inter view. Dr. Boyer, long a strong ad vocate of adult education, has closely studied this work not only in this country but abroad. The program Dr. Boyer has in mind includes: first, classes for par ents in elementary school subjects and those taught in high schools, so that parents denied educational opportunities in their youth can keep up with their children, and second, classes that will actually In struct the parent in taking care of the child and aiding him in devel opment in learning, training and character. "One of the tragedies of Ameri can life is that children go to gram mar school, then high school and often on to college, and somewhere in the process far outstrip their parents in education," Dr. Boyer points out. "This often sets up a barrier between parent and child that leads to misunderstanding and actual grief. If parents would at tempt to keep up wtih the children, a common bond would be estab lished and a great deal of pleasure and mutual benefit derived from learning together." Courses to aid parents in rearing their children properly would not need to have such high sounding names as "psychology of adoles cence, or those similar, although courses in psychology should be in cluded on the program, but could be simply "reading for the child," "choice of a profession," "home and school discipline," "problems of the home, and child growth, Dr. Boyer stated. 'The mere presenta tion to the parent of the material offered the child, together with the reasons therefor, would in itself be of immeasurable aid," Dr. Boyer points out. Taking as a basis adult education work already available, and adding such courses as are needed, the pro gram proposed by Dr. Boyer could be carried out under direction of some central agency. The neces sary objective is that of definite, correlated parent education, he states. State and local planning agencies, parent-teacher organizations, insti tutions of higher education and oth er civic groups should make this definite program one of their aims, Dr. Boyer believes. Seventeen Grasses Tried Tillamook Primarily in an at tempt to find a suitable grass that will thrive on the prairie soil and hill land of Tillamook county, grass nurseries have been established on the farms of B. W. Neilson, J. H. Steppa and F. H. Neilson, to test 17 varieties of grass. These include English rye, Italian rye, meadow fescue, chewing fescue, highland reed canary grass, Kentucky blue grass, bulbous bluegrass, orchard grass, smooth brome, tall oat grass, timothy, red top, meadow foxtail, Astoria and Seaside bent. River bottom soil such as that on the F. H. Neilson farm, seems particularly adapted to rye grass and clover, according to Kenneth Carl, assist- ant county agent, but it Is believed possible that a better mixture may be obtained by observing the growth of the varieties in the nursery on this farm. Blue Grass Tried on Burns Coquille Seventeen Coos county farmers are cooperating with Coun ty Agent George H. Jenkins this year in demonstration trials to de termine the value of Kentucky Blue grass in checking erosion on burn ed over hill lands in the county. About 5000 pounds of this seed was obtained by Mr. Jenkins from the federal government through the plant industries division at O. S. C, and distributed to farmers of the county. Noted Newspapermen To Speak in Eugene University of Oregon, Eugene, Dec. 26. With leading newspaper men, not only of Oregon but of Washington and California as well, already lined up as speakers, and a number of present day problems of unusual interest for round table discussion, the annual Winter Newspaper Conference, to be held at the University of Oregon School of Journalism promises to be the most protflable and livest session in the organization's history, accord ing to those in charge. Dates of January 24, 25 and 26 have been set for the conference, and every day will be crammed with meetings of interest, it is an nounced.

Ball, publisher of the Hood River News, will be on the program for a talk. He will discuss a problem related to interests be tween town and country. Of special interest will be the ad dress to be delivered by A. L. Clawson, printing cost accountant of Oakland, California. He will lead the discussion Saturday afternoon, which will be devoted to prices un der present conditions and codes.
