Annual Home Interests
Conference Scheduled
More than 600 homemakers from
alt parts of Oregon are expected to
gather on the Oregon State college
campus February 11 to 14, inclu
sive,, for the sixth annual Home
Interests conference under the aus
pices of the school of home econ
omics and the home economics ex
tension staff. The fourth annual
meeting of the State Home Econ
omics Extension council will be held
on the campus the day prior to the
opening of the conference.
Interest in this annual homemak
ers' conference has grown rapidly.
While attendance will be made up
largely of representatives of home
extension units, parent-teacher as
sociations, granges, clubs and oth
er organizations, the sessions are
open to the public and anyone in
terested in the most up-to-date
information in the varied fields of
homemaking is invited to attend,
according to Miss Thelma Gaylord,
state leader of home economics extension.
The convention will open this
year with a luncheon Tuesday noon,
February 11, at which the delegates
will be greeted by President George
W. Peavy, Miss Ava B. Milam, dean
of the school of home economics,
and W. A. Schoenfeld, dean and
direotor of agriculture. Following
me luncheon Dr. F. M. Hunter,
chancellor of the state system of
higher education, will speak on
'The Family and Education," and
later in the afternoon Mrs. Sheldon
Sackett will bring greetings from
the board of higher education.
Among other outstanding speak
ers during the session will be J,
Hudson Ballard, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Portland,
and Edward O. Sisson, professor
or philosophy at Reed college.
One feature that has been treat
ly enjoyed in the past and will be
repeated this year is an informal
afternoon with a group of noted
Oregon authors, including Frances
Uill, .Phil Parnsh and several oth.
ers.
Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings will be devoted to the presen
tation, of the annual "festival of
plays,' at which time one-act plavs
chosen as winners in their county
contests will be presented for criti
cism and suggestions. Counties to
be represented this year are Co
lumbia, Clackamas, Multnomah,
jacxson, Jjane and Deschutes.
STATE CAPITAL NEWS
(Continued on Ptg fear)
to be solved by the state or county
governments. In a statement issued
here this week in opposition to the
state sales tax for financing old age
pensions Holman declared that "the
need for old age pensions and pub
lic relief now is so general through
out the nation that it is a national
problem and must be met squarely
as a national issue."
The state board of control In up
holding Dr. G. C. Bellinger, super
intendent or the state tuberculosis
hospital, in his dismissal of Dr.
Phillip Newmyer, hospital physi
cian, declared the incident to be
closed so far as the board is con
cerned. Friction between the su
perintendent and his assistant is
understood to have been the cause
of Newmyers' dismissal rather than
any dissatisfaction with his pro
fessional services.
In spite of efforts of the board of
control to curb the use of state
owned automobiles the number of
motor vehicles owned by state de
partments and institutions was in
creased by 28 automobiles and 23
trucks during 1935, according to a
report by Dan Fry, state purchas
ing agent. The state now owns
574 automobiles and 754 trucks,
Fry's report shows.
Oregon estates contributed a to
tal of $681,300 in inheritance taxes
to the state's general fund during
1935, it was reported this week by
State Treasurer Holman. . This is
an increase over the ten-year av
erage. Two estates paid 57 H per
cent of the total tax for the year.

If the state senate figured to
discourage Governor Martin in his
determination to develop Oregon's
mineral resources they reckoned
without their host.
During the recent special session
the governor asked for an appro
priation of $15,000 for the use of
the state mining board in making
a survey of the state's mineral re
sources. The House cut the amount
to $5000 and passed the bill but the
senate, under the leadership of the
veteran, Senator Strayer of Baker
county, killed the measure under
an avalanche of "no" votes.
For a time the governor was
stumped but at last he appears to
have round a way out of his dilem
ma. The state planning board this
week announced plans for an im
mediate survey of the mineral re
sources of the state. This is iden
tically the sort of program the sen
ate rejected, but the planning board
appears to be clothed with plenty
of authority a3 well sa funds for
proceeding with the project
The act creating the board auth
orizes it to "from time to time rec
ommend to the governor compre
hensive plans for the utilization
conservation and development of
the natural resources of the state."
The board is also required "at the
request of the governor or the leg
islature of this state, to conduct in-
vestigations, surveys and research
upon any subject and to submit re
ports and recommendations on such
subjects to the governor or to the
legislature."
As to funds, the board still has
to its credit a balance of more than
$33,000 out of an original appro
priation of $46,275 set aside for its
use by the legislature which created
this new state activity.
Grants Pass continues the prin
cipal gateway through which tour
ists enter Oregon. Out of a total
of 100,303 foreign cars visiting the
s"tate during 1935, 21,465 registered
at the Josephine county seat Ash
land ranks second In point of reg
istration with 14,304.
Oregon motorists paid a total of
$9,150,229.65 In state taxes on gaso
line purchased during 1935, accord
ing to a report compiled by Secre
tary of State Snell. This is an in
crease of $851,306.54 over 1934 gas
oline taxes. Purchases of gasoline
from Oregon distributors during
1935 totalled 185,004,590 gallons, an
increase of 17,026,130 gallons over
sales during 1934.
Four persons were killed and 24
Injured in grade crossing accidents
in Oregon during 1935 according to
reports compiled by Frank C. Mc
Colloch, state utilities commission
er. This compares most favorably
with the record of 19 fatalities and
41 injuries in 96 crossing accidents
In 1934. In 47 of the accidents the
victims beat the train to the cross
lng. In 33 of the accidents trains
were already occupying the cross
ing when some motorist attempted
to cross. In one case a motorist hit
the seventh car on a long freight
train. Crossing accidents were
most frequent In winter months

Now that Andrew Jackson is be

be reminded of what he thought
about the Bible. He is quoted as
saying, "I believe the Word of
God," and "The Bible is the rock
on which the republic rests."
Some feel that the republic is not
very stable at the present time. If
so, may not the explanation be that
some educators and even preachers
have undermined the authority of
the Bible to the point that the
morals of this nation have very
little to rest upon?
The Church of Christ is thor
oughly Biblical in its teachings, up
holding it as the very Word of
God and His only written revela
tion to mankind.
We especially urge those who are
not now attending church to visit

Salaries .
. ability
A great deal of publicity is being
given these days to the salaries re
ceived by the heads of big business
enterprises. To superficial thinkers
it seems unfair that one man should
receive for his services so much
more than most men do.
It depends, of course, on the value
of the service rendered. If one man
has the ability to manage the affairs
of a great corporation so well that
it is able to keep thousands of work
ers employed, and at the same time
earn profits for the capital invested
in the business, It wouldn't seem un
fair to me If he were paid, say at the
rate of $1 a year for each employee.
I know dozens of cases, though,
where the executive heads of a big
organization gets nothing like that.
One of my friends draws a salary
of $100,000 a year but his company
employs 300,000 persons all the year
'round.
The scarcest commodity in the
could flourish, and the man who has
Without it no great enterprise

ually the one who grumbles about
his wages. But the National Indus
trial Conference Board reported the
other day on 2,400 business estab
lishments, employing 4H million
workers, all of which offer their
employees opportunities to earn
higher wages. More tlfan half of
them pay on the basis of work done
so much for each item turned out
That makes it worth while for the
worker to be industrious. A third
of these companies have premiums
and bonus payment systems; many
are on a profit-sharing basis.
The bigger the concern, the more
it is interested in putting as much
into every worker's pay-envelope as
possible.
Profits small
I have been studying some sta
tistics as accurate as any statistics
can be on the division of the in
comes of industrial concerns be
tween Labor, Management and Cap
ital. Roughly, it seems that out of
every dollar taken in for the fin
ished product, 65 cents goes into
the pockets of Labor, about 20 cents
Is paid out in taxes Federal, State
and local and out of the remaining
15 cents raw materials have to be
paid for, interest on borrowed cap
ital bonds has to be paid, man
agement compensated, and the
stockholders get the rest, if any.
The average profit to stockhold
ers runs around 2 percent on the
volume of business done-in some
businesses, less..
Doubtless many inequities exist in
our industrial system, but the notion
that Capital gets the lions share is,
as I see it, a foolish belief based on
ignorance of the facts.
to finance big enterprises? Mainly
from you and me. Our money, paid
in the savings banks and the life
insurance companies, makes a big
pool of money which goes into the
bonds and shares of all sorts of
money-making enterprises.
I shudder to think what would
happen to all of us if the capitalist
system were suddenly abolished.

Show Interest In Forage Crops

forage crops Is being shown by far
mers of Gilliam and Wheeler coun
ties, according to J. M. Stein, as
sistant district agent who says he
has answered numerous questions
recently in regard to crested wheat
grass, varieties of alfalfa, and oth
er forage crops. Several farmers
are planning to try small patches
of Ladak alfalfa in the spring if
moisture conditions are favorable,
he reports.
Oregon Dairymen Prepare
For Better Times Ahead
Preparation for Oregon dairy
men to take full advantage of the
better times generally predicted
for the industry proved to be the
keynote of the forty-third annual
convention of the Oregon Dairy
mens' association which met in
Tillamook early in January. The
convention was attended by capac
ity crowds both days and old-timers
in the organization said that in in
terest and accomplishment it was
the best convention in many years.
While the association was in ses
sion word came that the Supreme
Court had declared much of the
AAA unconstitutional. The Ore
gon dairymen, while not operating
directly under an AAA control
plan, passed a resolution in which
they urged "immediate remedial
legislation by our national Con
gress which will embody constitu
tionally and effectively the princi
ples and objectives of the Agricul
tural Adjustment act."
The resolution declared that the
AAA "did much to rehabilitate and
stabilize agriculture, bring about
greater equality between industry
and agriculture and to promote the
public economic well-being gener
ally.'" Another series of resolutions had
to do with a continuation of the
Bangs disease control work. The
federal government was urged to
appropriate the full amount of
money previously made available
under the Bangs disease control
law. With these additional funds it
was felt that Oregon, which is
ahead of all other states in percent
age of cows under test, could go
far towards cleaning up the disease,
with minimum loss to the individ
ual dairymen during the coming
year1. At the end of this year the
state compulsory Bangs disease
control law is scheduled to take ef
fect, which provides for segregat
ing diseased animals and gradually
eliminating them from herds un
der an approved control nrntrmm
Many leading dairymen of Tilla-
mooK county urged immediate close
cooperation in the Bangs disease
clean-up work, as a means of main
taising the high standards of Tilla
mook products in the markets of
the country and the world. It was
pointed out that Tillamook countv
had been a pioneer In the TB dis
ease clean-up, and that it would be
fatal to the industry to be laggard
in the Bangs disease campaign.
George H. Fullenwider of Carl
ton was again re-elected president
of the association for his fifth term.
Other officers elected were Mark
Johnson, Astoria, and Oscar Hagg,
Reedville, vice-presidents; Roger
Morse, Corvallls, secretary-treasurer;
R. J. Buernlng, Mount Angel;
Marion Taylor, Redmand, and L. H.

Few wage-earners work as hard
as their bosses do. That is my con
sidered belief, based on many years
of experience and observation. I
have seen so many wage-earners
rise through the ranks to high ex
ecutive posts that I began, years
ago, to ask how they gained ad
vancement. In every case the answer was to
the general effect that they always
did a little more than they were paid
for, liked their jobs and regarded
the -company's interests as their
own. While most of them did not
say so, It was always clear that
these men who started life as man
ual workers had higher intelligence
and better control of their appe
tites than their fellow-workers.
And they had ambition.
There isn't any other route by
which men rise to the high places
in our industrial system, but the
route of hard work plus intelli
gence, plus ambition. And they
don't stay long in the high places
unless they also have the priceless
element of character.

Capital
the system
When I hear people talk about
the "Capitalistic System" as if it
were something to be abolished as
speedily as possible, I wonder what
they would do under any other sys
tem. For nowhere in the civilized
world, outside of Russia, is there
anything but the capitalistic sys
tem. For instance, every farmer is a
capitalist. So is every storekeeper,
every man who owns his own barber-shop,
garage or any other kind
of "service" business. You are a
capitalist if you have a savings
bank deposit or a lfe insurance
policy. Those two latter classes
take in nearly half of all the people
