HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGQN, THURSDAY, OCT. 17, 1935. PAGE FOUR STATE CAPITAL NEWS Session Organization 20-Day Limit Schools, Roads Cost By A. U LINDBECK Salem. The capital city Is mak ing ready for the invasion of the lawmakers who are expected to ar rive Sunday in readiness for the opening of the special session Mon day morning. Carpenters have been busy this week fixine up the temporary legis lative chambers in the Marion hotel and the armory where the sessions will be held. Raised platforms have been built in both rooms for the presiding officers and the desk clerks. A covered runway has been constructed in the alley between the two buildings so that legislators and lobbyists may go back and forth without exposing themselves to the weather which promises to be more or less moist during the next few weeks. Newspapermen covering the session have been assigned working quarters in a room adjoining the temporary senate chamber where teletypes have been installed for speedy transmission of the news of the session. New desks and chairs are being installed in both chambers for the senators and representa tives. Democrats of the House have been called to caucus Sunday after noon in an effort to get together on one of the half dozen or more can didates for the Speakership, left vacant by the resignation of John Cooter. to accept a federal job While friends of both William Gra ham and Howard Latourette claim enough names on the dotted line to elect their candidate this claim is discounted by other candidates who also have a few names on dotted lines of their own. Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock President H. L. Corbett will call the senate to order while Fred Drager, veteran chief clerk of the House will perform that function in the hall of representatives. Organiza' tion of the senate will be a mere formality, with re-election of all the staff that performed during the regular session expected except in the case of the reading clerk where a vacancy exists which will proba' bly be filled by election of Elbert Bede of Cottage Grove who did this chore for the House for many years. While Ashby C. Dixon has announced his intention to make a fight for his senate seat which he has been held to have forfeited when he accepted a federal appoint ment, the republican majority in this body can be expected to follow the advice of Attorney General Van Winkle and seat the choice of the Multnomah county commissioners, Nate Boody. The contest in the House where Lew Wallace will make a fight for his seat, may be a different story. There it would not be at all surprising if the demo cratic majority chose to ignore the opinion of the attorney general holding Wallace to have forfeited his seat when he accepted appoint' ment on the game commission and restore Wallace to membership over Robert FarrelL Jr., the choice of the Multnomah county commission ers. In spite of the membership con tests, however, organization of both branches should be completed by Monday noon. In that event Gov ernor Martin will deliver his mes sage to the joint assembly during the noon hour and the hoppers will be opened for the reception of bills, resolutions, etc., at the afternoon session on the opening day. Holding that the state's irreduci ble school fund has been cheated out of thousands of dollars through the policy of waiving royalty pay ments for sand and gravel used in highway construction the state land board has decreed that hereafter there shall be no such waivers that royalties must be paid on all sand and gravel taken from Oregon streams for whatever purpose. Restoration of the agricultural codes through legislative action will be attempted at the special session, according to Solon T. White, direct or of the state department of ag riculture. Much good was accom plished through operation of the codes, in White's opinion, through regulation of production, stabiliza tion of prices and orderly market ing. There will be no second special session. If the legislators fail to complete their task in the allotted 20 days it will be just too bad the responsibility will be on their shoul ders. That is the position taken by Governor Martin in quieting ru mors that he stood ready to recon vene the session at the end of the first twenty days if necessary. The governor will present his rec ommendations on the capitol con struction and social security pro grams, toss the problems into the legislative lap and leave the solu tion thereof to the tender merciei of the 30 senators and 60 represen tatives. "If they can't get together on new capitol in 20 days we will just have to wait until the regular ses sion m 1937, the governor said. In his message to the legislature the governor recommended pur chase of the 18-acre Willamette unt versity campus as an addition to the present capitol site. As his sec ond choice he will advocate pur chase of Sandalaria Heights, a 3 acre hill top two miles south of tht Salem business district. Willam ette university trustees have agreed to the sale of the campus for price of $750,000 and a new site for the school. A committee of Salem citizens has pledged the city to pro vide the needed university site as well as to make a small contribu tion toward the purchase price. The asking price of Candalaria Heights orlKlnallv reported as $100,000 is now understood to be down to $75, 000 with the probability that it can be had for much less if the state wants It The governor's message will also recommend the creation of a capitol building commission to handle the construction details, such as selec tion of designs, hiring of the archi tects, etc. Governor Martin is also expected to recommend an amendment to the old age pension bill, reducing the minimum age of beneficiaries to bo years to conform to the federal act The message is also expected to deal with other phases of the social security program, including unem ployment insurance, aid for de pendent children, etc. liiiniirllliiiilinilliilllillllliilllllliuill Mora than one-third of the total 1935 tax levy for county purposes in Morrow county goes to the sup port of schools and roads, accord ing to figures compiled by State Treasurer Holman. These two re sponsibilities absorb the big end of the annual budget in most Oregon counties with Linn county topping the list in this respect with more that 69 percent of its totad budget going into these two items. Construction of the new state house on a pay-as-you-go basis is advocated by State Treasurer Hol man. Under a plan worked out by Holman the legislature would make an appropriation of $1,925,000 cov ering the state's share of the cost of the new capitol. Expenditure of the appropriation, however, would be spread over a three-year period with an item of $650,000 to be in cluded in the state tax levy for the next three years. Construction work on the building would have to be attuned to this plan, work on the building progressing only as rapidly as funds were available to pay for the work without increasing the general fund deficit The attorney general has approved the plan as avoiding conflict with the constitu tional debt inhibition and Governor Martin is expected to recommend the plan to the legislature.

Kozer .at his home in Portland Saturday re moved a man who had spent more than 35 years in the service of the state. Kozer first entered public service as chief clerk in the state department under F.

LEXINGTON When Miles Coverdale published the first complete translation of the Bible in English, just 400 years ago October 4, 1535 he did a greater service than he dreamed of. All Doctor Coverdale was think ing of was to make the Word of God available to all who wanted to read it But the first result was to arouse the desire to read, among the common people of England. The beginning of our school sys tem, which denies education to no body, can be traced to that.- And besides bringing the Bible to every body, Dr. Coverdale gave the Eng lish language itself its first fixed form. Before 1535 the upper classes spoke mostly Norman French, and only the lower classes the simple tongue of Anglo-Saxon origin. The Coverdale Bible, and its re vision oo years later into tne J.ing James Version, now the standard translation wherever English is spoken, gave the English people for the first time a common speech, used by all classes. And that, I think, was the beginning of Eng land's greatness. IONE (Continued from First Page) Geo. F. Schulyz, A. Pemplehech, E. H.

Mortgage Money Offers Savings to Farmers (Continued tram First Fact) Farmers interested in saving money by refinancing their hign interest bearing mortgages with low Interest Land bank loans thru the Hardman National Farm Loan association at Heppner are urged by Secretary P. W. Mahoney to get their applications in as soon as possible. "Right now our cooperative as sociation is able to make first mort gage lotns to qualified farmers at the record low rate of 4 per cent interest," Mr. Mahoney says. "How long this low rate will prevail we don't know. It depends upon how long the Land bank can continue to find a market for its bonds at 3 per cent interest 1 per cent margin being allowed for maintaining this cooperative mortgage system. "We do know, however, that at present the mortgage dollar is on the bargain counter, so we are urg ing interested farmers to . act promptly so they can benefit from this favorable opportunity. Of nec essity it takes some little time to close a Land bank loan, but right now is the time to apply so the ap plicant's farm can be appraised be fore winter weather sets in. The Hardman association, owned and directed by Land bank borrow ers in this territory, also acts as agent in the closing of Land bank commissioner's loans which are made out of a special fund. Com missioner's loans have a broader range than regular Land bank loans being offered on either first or sec ond mortgage security to refinance accumulated Indebtedness, finance part-time farmers and help young farmers and tenant farmers pur chase a farm of their own on the most favorable terms in agricul tural history. They bear 5 per cent interest. "We will be glad to give full In formation to any farmer interested In obtaining a non-profit coopera tive Land bank loan or a special commissioner's loan," Secretary Ma honey declares. "In addition to the Interest saving on these loans, pay ments are spread over a long per iod of years enabling the principal to be automatically paid off so the farm can be owned free of Indebt edness by the time the mortgage note comes due." Refuge . Bible passage The Bible is still by far the "best seller" of all books. More than 25 million Bibles, complete or selected parts, were sold last year. Tens of millions all over the world go to the Bible for consolation in time of trouble. I recalled a Bible passage the other day which might well have a wide application in the present dis turbed state of the world. It is in II Chronicles, 15th Chapter: "And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexa tions were upon the inhabitants of the countries . . . And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul. And he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.' That ought to be inscribed in let ters of gold over the portals of the Hall of the League of Nations. rrayer .... is power When an outstanding figure in the field of medical research comes out flatly and declares that prayer has power to heal bodily ills, it is something to pay attention to. Dr. Alexis Carrel, world-famous sur geon of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research and winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine, says in his new book, "Man, the Unknown,1 writing as a medical man: Our present conception of the influence of prayer upon pathologi cal lesions Is based upon the obser vation of patients who have been cured almost instantly of various affeotions. . . . The only condition indispensable to the occurrence of the phenomenon is prayer. But there is no need for the patient him self to pray, or even to have any religious faith. It is sufficient that someone around him be in a state of prayer." I have been greatly impressed by the growing belief in the power of prayer to heal. Dr. Carrel's words will go far to confirm believers in their faith. foreign country except Canada. A1-, together, more than 400,000 Amer icans are recorded by the State De partment as living abroad. Most of them are natives of the countries where they now live, who came to America, became natural ized, accumulated enough to live on 'back home," and went back. -Some of them took American cus toms back with them. Crossing the Atlantic by the southern route, two or three years ago, the ship passed through the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. All along the shore I saw houses that might have been transplanted bodily from Cape Cod. They were built by Portuguese fish ermen who had lived on the Cape. It seems to me that it would be a good idea to find out how many cit izens of other countries are living in America legally or not. Grit .... still pays I heard the other day from a friend in Moultrie, Georgia, of an example of pure grit in the face of adversity. An elderly minister, too old and feeble to fill a pulpit any longer, was facing starvation. The mortgage on his little country home was about to be foreclosed. But neither he nor his aging wife was willing to apply for relif. The wife took charge of the situa tion. She persuaded the local bank er to lend her $150. Forty dollars went for a mule, the rest for seed equipment and fertilizer for a five- acre tobacco patch. Last month she finished selling her tobacco. It brought $1600. The mortgage and the back taxes are paid and some thing over to live on. She found the road to independnce In old age. Too many of us quit too soon. Feature Story (From "Hehisch") When I grow up In a year or two or three, I'll be happy as carr be . . ." Some of the students probably wonder when the person who has been heard singing this song WILL grow up. She is often seen sliding down bannisters, walking very rap idly or very slowly to and from school, and eating peanuts. She is heard singing childish songs simi lar to the one above. To some of her friends she has become quite problem when accompanying them along the street or at school. Oth ers pay no attention to her, for they themselves love to indulge in such antics. But still we have no explanation as to when she will grow up. We wonder when she will. Don't you JAPANESE OIL Madt la u. 3. A.

It is all very interesting when we have time to think about it But, man cannot do things as the cattle, horses and fowl do them. We may eat a few things raw, with benefit. Our pioneers ate raw tur nips freely in the days before the young orchards had arrived at the fruit-bearing stage. We find raw fruits exceedingly palatable and beneficial and even necessary to our COFFEE HAS MANY USES. Coffee is not only the great Amer ican beverage, but has many other uses in the kitchen where it can be used to give an unusual flavor to ice cream, muffins, puddings, breads, and even pies, according to Julia L. Wright, famous cooking authority who writes in the current issue of the Family Circle magazine. Hard sauce flavored with coffee, over a chocolate steam pudding; coff-ae added to hot cocoa; coffee added to custard instead of using all milk; adding egg whites and gelatin to coffee for a Spanish cream; coffee cheese muffins; and coffee quick bread are among the unusual taste treats described by Mrs. Wright in the current Issue of this magazine which is distributed this week by the Safeway stores, OCTO JOSEPH GAINES. M.D. well-being. We may eat dried or wholly-air-cured meats such as "chipped beef" if it be shaved thin and yet masticated well. It is tonic for the digestive tract and a blood builder as well. There are faddists today who think man should abolish cooking! The common sense of it Is that vegetables and meats of all kinds need treatment before being eaten. Tough fibers must be made tender. Hard growths must be softened. Hidden food-principles must be set free that we may appropriate them to our use without over-taxing the digestive machinery within us. The process of cooking becomes one of greatest importance to the human family. Let me mention a possible error which is over-cooking. Too ardent frying, boiling, roasting is also wrong. The artist in cookery knows when to quit! Much of our diet is spoiled by "cooking It to death." Don't do it.

Dry weather and an unusual Invasion of grasshoppers which turkeys feed on eagerly are among the causes of the big turkey crop. The best turkey story I have heard comes from Gypsum, Ransas, where Fred Van Meter has a flock of 700 turkeys. Turkey feed was high, but neighboring farmers were overrun with grasshoppers. So Farmer Van Meter had the bright idea of hiring out his turkey flock. at $2.50 a day, to eat his neighbors' grasshoppers- Result no turkey feed bill and $2.50 a day net profit.
