SALEM. What of Peter Zim
merman? The plans of the for
mer state senator from Yamhill
county in the present campaign
have the political prognosticators
guessing to say the least Zimmer
man this week came out with an
announcement that he was sup
porting Sam Brown in his race for
the republican nomination for Uni
ted States senator and Byron G.
Carney of Milwaukie for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Congress in
the first district Which, in the
opinion of many, was only Pete's
way of warning the two major po
litical parties that he, himself, could
be expected to make the race for
one of these offices as an indepen
dent candidate if the men of his
choice were not selected in the May
primaries. Zimmerman, who is be
lieved to prefer a go at the United
States senator-ship, ran as an inde
pendent candidate for governor
two years ago and gave the two
major parties the scare of their
lives, running an uncomfortably
close second to General Martin and
completely outdistancing Joe Dunne,
the republican candidate. Zim
merman some time ago read him
self out of the Republican party
and is now one of the most active
figures in the newly organized Farmer-Labor
movement In this state
and could expect the endorsement
of that party if he should decide
to make the race as an independent
either for the United States sena
torship or for Congress.
A rather unusual situation has
developed in the democratic race
for state treasurer where the Ore
gon Democrat official party organ,
is openly advocating the nomination
of Jack E. Allen of Pendleton as
against U. S. Burt of Corvallis. Ver
non Williams, editor of the Demo
crat it seems ,has no great love for
Burt and has repeatedly tried to
discourage the tetter's candidacy.
Young Democrats meeting in Sa
lem this week in their fifth annual
state-wide convention went on rec
ord with a demand for more of the
spoils of office. A resolution de
nouncing the practice of appoint
ing Republicans to office under a
Democratic administration was
adopted without debate. The young
er members of the party are very
well satisfied with W. L. Gosslin,
secretary to Governor Martin, who
has been taking good care of the
Democratic applicants for minor
clerkships but are anything but
satisfied with the way the governor
himself has been dispensing patron
age with most of the choicest plums
going to the Republicans. This
displeasure among the youthful
members of the party organization
extends also to certain department
heads and commissions, particular
ly the state liquor commission,
where the good jobs are all going
to adherents of the Republican par
ty while the loyal Democrats stand
hungrily by licking their chops.
Election of C. C. Carlson of Port
land as state president of the Young
uemocratic Clubs was conceded to
be a victory for Gosslin who, with
his gift for oratory and organiza
tion together with his control of
patronage in the lower brackets,
had the delegates eating out of his
hand and easily dominated the con
vention from start to finish.
Administrators of Oregon's un
employment compensation act were
considerably heartened this ween
by news from New York that the
court of appeals highest tribunal
In that state had upheld the con
stitutionality of . the act very sim
ilar to the Oregon law. The New
York court in a five-to-two opinion
held that there is nothing unreas
onable or unconstitutional in a leg
islative act which seeks to meet the
evils and dangers of unemployment
In the future by raising a fund
through taxation of employers gen
erally."
The proposal of Donald Young,
Salem capitalist, to build an office
building for state departments did
not look so attractive as a close-up.
No saving would be made in rental
charges over those now being paid
for quarters In down-town office
buildings and Young wants the
state to install its own heating sys
tern and furnish heat as well as
water, light and janitor service, all
of which are Included in some of
the rentals now being paid. The
board took the proposal under ad
visement but without any display
or entnusiasm.
Eleven thousand adults are at
tending the 739 classes which have
been organized as WPA projects
under the supervision of the state
department of education, according
to C. A. Howard, state superinten
dent of public instruction. Tem
porary jobs are being provided
through these projects to 285 un
employed teachers.
Actual construction work on Or
egon's new capitol should get un
der way early In November accord
ing to members of the capitol re
construction commission meeting
here this week to complete plans
for selection of the architect who
will design the new structure.
Selection of the Jury which is to
pass on the entries In the archi
tect's contest and pick the winner
was made by the commission at
this meeting, but the personnel of
the jury will not be made known
until after the close of the contest
The Jury will include two members
of the capitol commission, one lay
man not a member of the commis
sion, and two architects of nation
al repute, one from the east and
one from the west. More than 200
architects from all sections of the
country have announced their in
tention of competing. All entries
must be in the hands of Arthur S.
Benson, clerk of the supreme court
by May 21 and the award will be
announced on May 29. Completed
drawings must be submitted to the
capitol commission by September 15.
The excessive price of lime is
preventing its use on Oregon farms
agricultural experts declared in a
conference here this week. The
conference had been called by State
Treasurer Holman with a view to
encouraging the use of more lime
in order to stimulate the state pris
on lime industry and provide work
for more prisoners. Solon T. White,
state director of agriculture, and
several county agents agreed that
the price of lime would have to be
brought down to a maximum of
$3.50 a ton delivered before farm
ers could afford to use it extensive
ly. The delivered price now ranges
around $6.25 a ton at points within
a radius of 50 miles of the prison.
Holman agreed to attack the prob
lem in an effort to secure a redac
tion in the freight rate from the
quarry to the prison as well as a
reduction in the price of the lime
rock.
Signing of petitions is a serious
matter and not to be taken lightly
in the opinion of Attorney General
Van Winkle who this week ruled
that once a petition is presented to
a county court the signers could not
have their names removed from the
document
The campaign for safe driving is
to be carried into the schools of
Oregon. C. A. Howard, state su
perintendent of public instruction,
has announced plans for a one-week
course in highway safety education
to be presented in every senior and
junior high school as well as the
upper grades of elementary schools
during the current school year.

School Days Are Numbered
Only three weeks more of school
remain and some realize what that
means, but there are others who
do not seem to realize the serious
ness of incompletes on their report
cards. Instead of working harder
they seem to think they can stop
studying now that the year is com
ing to a close; but those who think
that are hopelessly wrong. If they
don't continue working hard they
will find themselves taking the same
subjects next year, or if they are
seniors they will fail to graduate
with their class. No student in
high school is incapable of getting
high grades if he puts enough ef
fort in his work. Some students
don't have to work as hard as oth
ers in their studies, but those who
have to put forth more effort should
try to keep up with them, and feel
that they have really accomplished
something in their years' work. So
everyone should put more effort
into his work and have higher
marks when school closes in place
or the low ones that he will be
ashamed to show his fellow-class
men.

Juniors Enjoy Day at IBngham
Seven o'clock came rather early
for many of the Juniors Wednes
day, a week ago, but by eight o'clock
twenty of the class were ready to
depart for Bingham Springs. Swim
ming and hiking were enjoyed un
til noon, when various pupils were
heard to remark, "Gee, I forgot to
eat any breakfast this morning in
all the excitement," or "my six o'
clock breakfast of toast and coffee
is beginning to wear off," so a pic
nlc lunch consisting of sandwiches,
saiaa, canes, and ice cream was
heartily partaken of. The rest of
the day was spent in more swim
ming, hikes, baseball, and horse
shoe pitching.
Those taking cars were Norton
King, Howard Cleveland, Louise
Anderson end Paul Brown. Coach
Blankenship, Mrs. W. H. Cleve
land, Mrs. Truman Babb, and Mrs.
Homer Hayes acted as chaperons.

The annual Open House day of

Friday, April 24, and proved to be
exceptionally attractive ana inter
