A lew weeks ago she found in her mail box a letter addressed to the "State President of the Am erican Legion Auxiliary, Heppner, Oregon." Feeling that the title was somehow an error and that the let ter was probably meant for the lo cal auxiliary, Mrs. Gemmell and other auxiliary members opened it It contained a request from a Mrs. Rhea Tillard of Douglas, Wyoming, for an Oregon rock which might be used in construction of a club house the Douglas auxiliary was build ing, and in which they planned to place a rock from each state in the union. Mrs. Gemmell forwarded the let ter to the Oregon state president, but curiosity led her to write Mrs. Tillard to Inquire how she happened to send the letter to Heppner. Mrs. Tillard's answer, received by Mrs. Gemmell this week, explained that her husband, Rhea Tillard, had lived In Heppner In his youth and talked about it so much that it was more real to her than any other place In Oregon to which she might write. A number of long-time residents queried about Rhea Tillard recalled Grace Tillard who taught here many years ago, and were Inclined to think Rhea Tillard was a relative of hers. iiiiimmntnnmimniniHininitninii At Heppner CHURCHES CHURCH OF CHRIST.

LINDBECK SALEM. Do you want lower taxes? Are you in favor of great er economy in governmental ex penditures? Are you of the opin ion that a lot of offices, boards and commissions should be abolished? If so, step right up to the pri mary bargain counter and take your pick. These and scores of other tempting inducements are contained in the 400-odd platforms being offered by primary candi dates in Oregon this year. The range of offerings may be no great er than usual but there are more platforms to pick from due to the larger crop of candidates. Some of the planks may be a bit shop worn but they have all been pol ished up as good as new and sound every bit as good as some of the newer inducements that are always being introduced in every campaign. There is an especially heavy run on old age pension planks this year. Apparently the boys and girls who are seeking public office have had their ears to the ground and heard rumblings to indicate that this was going to be a popular issue this spring. Anyway 119 of the 444 candidates for state, federal and district jobs in Oregon are declar ing for old age pensions. Fifty- seven of these come out unquali fiedly for the Townsend plan but the rest of the penson planks only commit their sponsors to "liberal" or "adequate" pensions, leaving the interpretation of these terms to the judgment of the candidate if and when he gets into office. A number of the veterans have passed up the opportunity to her aid their virtues and broadcast their intentions via the platform method and have confined themselves to such terse slogans as "Incumbent" or "For Re-election," but these are in the minority. Most of the candi dates have taken full advantage of the platform privilege, many using the full 100 words allowed by law. While many candidates have re sorted to such old favorites as "low er taxes," "efficiency and economy" and "honest and impartial law en forcement" many new and original promises are to be found in this year's platforms. One candidate appeals to the consumer vote with a promise of "lower food prices." Another declares for a "one cent reduction in gasoline taxes," evi dently in the hope of catching the motorist vote. Still another makes a bid for the support of the jobless by declaring for "free fishing and hunting licenses for the unem ployed." Among other interesting planks are to be found these: "Decent wages and better living conditions for the farmer and laboring man;" "one-house legislature," "redistribu tion of wealth," "increase in inheri tance, gift and income taxes," and "freedom of speech and press." Many of the democratic candi dates include a plea for the reten tion of Roosevelt and Garner, be lieving that the salvation of the country lies in the support of the New Deal. Republican candidates, on the other hand, view present conditions with alarm and insist that normalcy can only be restored with a return of the G. O. P. to power in state and nation. inree more initiative measures made their appearance on the poli tical horizon this week. One, spon sored by the Eagles lodge, would provide pensions ranging from $15 to $45 a month to needy persons 65 years of age or over. Another, sponsored by the Oregon committee ior .reace and Freedom, opposes compulsory military training at state institutions. The third, spon sored by three McMinnvllle men, involves a constitutional amend ment to prohibit sales taxes on food products. All three are in the em bryo stage. Their sponsors have until July 1 to secure enough sig natures to their petitions to place tne measures on the November bal lot. Fifty cheese factories in Oregon manufactured 16,387,568 pounds of cheese during 1935 according to re ports compiled by the state depart ment of agriculture. uregon republicans do not pro pose to let the democrats get away with any political plums without a fight, according to Lowell C. Paget, president of the Oregon republican clubs. In districts in which no re publican candidates filed the voters will be urged to write in names.

Admission 75c per couple One senatorial district Douglas county and six legislative seats failed to attract republican aspir ants. 1 Many school districts throughout the state are planning salary in creases for their teaching staffs for next year, according to information received here. Of 105 districts of the first and second class replying to a questionnaire on the subject 37 have already voted Day Increases and 39 more plan to do so. Overpayments totalling more than $3600 to state aided institutions have been revealed in an audit just completed by the state department, according to Wallace S. Wharton, executive secretary to Governor Martin. Wharton charged that money contributed by relatives tow ard the support of institution wards had not been properly credited against the state's contribution. More thon 50 percent of the alleged overpayment was laid at the feat of the court of domestic relations for Multnomah county. Members of the state board of medical examiners found little sym pathy at the hand of the board of control when they appealed from a ruling of the budget department re ducing their per diem pay from $10 to ?b a day. State Treasurer Hoi man and Secretary of State Snell refused to interfere in the contro versy, pointing out that the board members were appointees of the governor as also is the budget di rector. Governor Martin declared that if the medical examiners did not want to work for $6 a day there were plenty of medical men who would -be glad of appointment to the board. Requirements for admission to the Oregon bar were increased by the supreme court this week. Hereaf ter applicants for a law diploma mu3t have graduated from a three year course in a recognized law school and have taken two years of pre-law or general college work.
