Squirrels . . westward ho
The gray squirrels are migrating
again from New England. Nobody
has yet found out the real reason
why so many thousands, perhaps
millions, of these little animals go
westward in the early Winter. They
have lately been crossing the Hud
son River on the bridges, on the
ferry boats and some of them even
swimming across.
The latest theory is that they are
driven out of their old homes by
the smaller but more pugnacious
red squirrels. Farmers and hunters
have been encouraged to kill hawks.
because hawks kill game birds; but
hawks also are fond of baby red
squirrels, and a possible explana
tion is that the red squirrels have
multiplied, as the hawks have dim
inished In number, and there isn't
room in the woods for both the red
and the gray squirrels.
It is just one of those interesting
phenomena illustrating the constant
effort of nature to maintain the bal
ance between all the various forms
of life.

"WE WELCOME ALL"
Bruce-Barton
Sail
I asked five intelligent people at
a social gathering the other night
if they knew how much they paid
in taxes to the Federal Government
on each package of cigarettes. No
body knew the answer. The rev
enue stamp on the cigarette pack
simply says "20 cigarettes" and does
not disclose the fact that the man
ufacturer pays six cents for each
stamp and adds it to the price of
the ciragettes.
I think it would be a very useful
law, if Congress could be induced
to enact it, to require that every tax
stamp tells the buyer of the taxed
article just how much tax he is pay
ing. We will never get real econ
omy in Government until the "man
in the street" realizes that he, too,
is paying a share of the cost of the
Government.
Quality pays
One of the wealthiest men I know
is Herbert L. Satterlee, brother-in-law
of J. P. Morgan. Mr. Satterlee
is still using an automobile which
was built for him in 1915. The 20-year-old
car has gone over 300,-
000 miles and is capable of 60 miles
an hour in a pinch. Mr. Satterlee
tried one or two high-priced mod
ern cars and discarded them be
cause they were not as comfortable
to ride in as the old machine that
he sticks to.
Wealthy people can afford to be
unfashionable. They can also afford
to buy the highest quality of goods
in the first place. I know one mil
lionaire who has worn the same
overcoat for 20 Winters, but he
paid $300 for it when it was new.
1 have spent more than that for a
succession of overcoats in the same
period. In the long run, it always
pays to buy the highest quality of
any commodity, if you can afford to
tie up enough of your capital in the
initial purchase.
Fingerprints . . accurate
One of the reasons why there is
a popular prejudice against being
fingerprinted was disclosed the oth
er day when the Bureau of Crimm
al Investigation, in Washington re
ported that several hundred former
criminals had been detected by a
comparison of the fingerprints, tak
en when they applied for jobs, with
the fingerprint records of convicted
criminals on file in Washington.
Many business concerns and some
municipalities and states now re
quire a fingerprint record of every
applicant for a job, and send these
records down to the Department of
Justice.
I have long believed that the time
would come when everybody's fin
gerprints would be recorded in in
fancy as a matter of course and
kept available for identification at
any time in later life. There is no
good reason why this should not be
done.
Longevity .... but why?
An eminent scientist, Dr. Wil
liam Marias Malisoff, predicted the
other day that scientific research
would find ways of lengthening hu
man life until men might ordinarily
live for possibly hundreds of years.
In view of what has already been
achieved in this direction, that does
not seem to me at all impossible.
Mere longevity, however, does not
seem to me of any great value,
either to the individual or to so
ciety, unless some way is found at
the same time of utilizing intelli
gently the experience which only
the passage of years enables one to
accumulate. It is interesting to im
agine a world in which the major
ity of inhabitants were centenar
ians. It would, at least, be a world
in which fewer futile social experi
ments were undertaken.
years the state board of agriculture
decided at its meeting here Satur
day. Increase in the admission
price was justified on the ground
that the lower admission did not
provide sufficient revenue to sup
port the kind of a fair the people
expect and are entitled to. Since
the next fair will mark the Diamond
Jubilee of the state's big agricul
tural and industrial exhibition it is
proposed to make it the best in the
history of the institution with a
large number of high class vaude
ville acts afternoon and night free
to those who pay their way through
the turnstiles. The board decided
to open the fair on Labor day,
Monday, September 7, and to close
the show on the following Sunday.
With a steady reduction in state
levies against property Governor
Martin predicts that within a few
years property win pay no tax at
all for state purposes within the
six percent constitutional limit.
This year's property levy for state
purposes other than to meet special
millages, he points out, are less
than $900,000 whereas only a few
years ago they totalled $3,500,000,
Governor Martin is expected to
announce the appointment of a new
game commissioner this week to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of Lew Wallace who wanted
to regain his seat in the House and
lost out by only one vote.
The new bakery control board
which met in Salem to organize this
week will make no attempt to dic
tate minimum prices but will con
fine its efforts to other regulations
such as size of the loaf, sanitation,
etc.
Earl Hill, Lane county legislator,
while in Salem this week an
nounced that he would use his in
fluence to exempt farm trucks of
the pick-up type and light delivery
cars used exclusively on city streets
from the additional $5 license tax
tacked on by the special session.
Hill says this move wa3 a mistake
and owners of the cars who are
paying the extra tax are not in
clined to argue with him over it.
Prospect of a contest over the
right of the state to regulate
trucks and busses engaged in in
terstate service looms with two
big truck lines resisting the state's
authority. Arrests will be made
soon, according to Frank J. Mc-
Culloch, state utilities commission
er, and the matter taken into the
courts for decision.
Success of the referendum
against senate bill 43 the old age
pension bill of the special session
will tie up the $1,000,000 state ap
propriation without providing any
means for taking advantage of fed
eral match money for pensions in
the opinion of attorneys here. Only
10,232 signatures of bona fide voters
are needed to put the bill on the
regular election ballot and sponsors
of the referendum are confident
they can complete their petition
easily before the last day, Febru
ary 7.
' Can't Evade Problems
A man has just been in to worry
me about the children. He points
out that taxes are getting worse and
I am getting older, and that if I set
up annuities and insurance trusts
and do a lot of other things, my
children may perhaps be better off.
As far as insurance is concerned,
I have been a booster for it all my
life. My father, who was a preach
er with a large family, and a small
salary, used to remark that he had
"kept himself poor paying insur
ance premiums." But the insurance
premiums enabled him to sleep
peacefully at night and, having
seen us all through college, he pro
ceeded to cash his insurance, and
he and Mother had a good time on
it during their last years.
How completely they might have
spoiled their days and nights if
they could have looked forward in
to the future. Suppose they had
known, in 1900, that this country
was going to do a nose dive in 1929
which would be followed by the
worst depression in history. Sup
pose they had said to themselves:
"What a terrible ordeal that may
be for our children and grandchil
dren. We ought to do something
about it."
Well, they couldnt have done any
thing about it. And, as things have
turned out, we are still eating reg
ularly; we have a dry place to
sleep, and so far have neither ap
plied for a dole or sought admis
sion to a nudist camp.
The changes that are going to
come in these United States are
beyond the imagination of any one
of us to forecast. Our children
and grandchildren will have to meet
them, as we have had to meet the
problems in our own lives. What
we can do for them beyond health
and education is not much.
Self Reliant Are Educated
President James A. Garfield was
asked: "What is your definition of
a college?" To which he replied:
"Mark Hopkins on one end of a log
and a student on the other."
Not luxurious dormitories or
Gothic recitation halls; not rich en
dowments or mammoth football
bowls, but a great teacher in per
sonal contact with his pupils, stirr
ing their imaginations, stimulating
ther minds.
Mark Hopkins had the teaching
genius in the top degree. What
was the secret of his success? An
swering that question in his auto
biography, Bliss Perry quotes his
pwn father, who had been one of
Hopkins' pupils: "After beginning
by asking the pupil what the text
book said about this and that, the
Doctor would invariably inquire,
'What do you think about it?' It
stole the hearts of young men to
hear such a man as he was plump
ing down upon them from his desk,
as if it were a matter of much im
portance, such a question as that.
It suddenly increased their own
self-respect"
And Bliss Perry adds: "To dis
cover that you had a mind nar
row, commonplace, or ill-trained,
perhaps but a mind of your own,
was a thrilling experience."
Many students graduate from col
lege without ever making that dis
covery. For them education has
been twenty years of mental mas
sage. They come into the world
with no plan except to find a boss
who will keep on telling them what
to think and do.
You can go twenty miles from a
raiiroaa into almost any cross
roads town and find men and wo
men who have self-formed convic
tions and operate their minds un
der their own steam. Such folks,
however ignorant of books, are ed
ucated.

dent of the league, and Charles A.
Nish, Mikkalo, is vice-president
Heppner will be the next meeting
place.
Four issues dominated the con
vention at Pendleton, although
scores of others were considered
during the two days of the meeting
attended by close to 400 persons.
These issues were agricultural ad
justment, transportation problems,
taxation and the general subject of
production methods.
The AAA in principal and as ap
plied specifically to the wheat grow
ers was given enthusiastic and de
termined support which bordered
on belligerency toward those who
would now deprive the grower of
what he feels is the first real, ef
fective solution of his surplus prob
lems. The convention resented at
tempts to make the AAA a parti
san issue.
In the matter of transportation,
the convention approved a series of
resolutions aimed towards better
development of Columbia river nav
igation immediately, opposition to
extension of railway control over
truck lines, and opposing repeal of
the long and short haul clause in
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion regulations.
Every effort was made in passing
on taxation matters to see that no
further burden was laid on proper
ty in the form of direct taxes. Con
sequently the sales tax plan for
raising money for Oregon's share
of the old-age pensions was ap
proved and further bonding for any
purpose where repayment would
come from direct property taxes
was opposed. The general revamp
ing of assessment and collection
laws, which were declared to be in
a bad jumble in Oregon, was rec
ommended. The delegates paid close attention
to new production methods and
ideas and to the report of the weed
control committee which held that
this problem is a critical one in
Oregon and should be linked with
soil erosion as worthy of a long
time federal program.

Part-Time Farms Supply
Homes, But Little Cash
Part-time farming in Oregon has
served to furnish rural residences
to thousands of families, and has
provided them with a part of their
food supply, but in most cases it
has yielded little in the way of cash
crops. This is among 50 pages of
hitherto uncollected information
now published for the first time in
an O. S. C. experiment station bul
letin, entitled, "Part-Time Farming
n Oregon."
In the detailed study if 2110 such
small farms, it was found that the
average family among those sur
veyed received only $117 a year
from the sale of farm products.
