o Mad Democrats
o War Benefit
o Injunction
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem Oregon democrats are see
ing red these days. All because of
the appointment of Byron G. Carney
of Milwaukie to the lucrative post
of director of the federal census in
this state.
Carney, it should be explained,
has been vice-president of the Ore
gon Commonwealth Federation since
its organization several years ago.
The Federation represents the ex
teme left wing of the Democratic
party and Carney's appointment is
taken as indicative of the fact that
the party, in Oregon at least, is dom
inated by the parlor pinks to the
exclusion of less radical "liberals."
Then, too, there is objection to
the manner of Carney's appointment.
Party leaders in Oregon, it seems,
were not consulted. Both Frank Tier
ney, state chairman, and Howard
Latourette, national committeeman,
deny any part in the deal. In fact so
emphatic is their denial that there
is little room left for doubt as to
their injured feelings over this snub
at the hands of the national admin
istration. But if the Democrats are peeved
their Republican rivals are chortling
with glee over the turn of events
which has served to widen the rift
in Oregon's democracy. Having thus
been ignored in the distribution of
this juicy bit of political patronage
which carries with it the employment
of some 2000 census enumerators,
party leaders in this state can hard
ly be expected to enthuse over the
continued existence of the New Deal
administration. In this respect at
least the conservative wing of the
Democratic party can join with its
G. O. P. rivals in its chortling for
the New Deal slap at its liberal ad
herents in this tate is expected to
redound to the advantage of John
Nance Garner, conservative choice
for the presidential nomination.
Abandonment of the Oregon City
and Gresham lines of the Portland
Electric Power company is opposed
by O. R. Bean, public utilities com
missioner. In a report filed with the
trustees in bankruptcy Bean charges
that the company has made no seri
ous efforts at economical operation
of these lines. Among other things,
Bean points out, the lines are
charged with too much overhead.
Too many high salaried officials are
being carried by the lines which in
Bean's opinion should be more effi
ciently administered by a single of
ficial.
It is the original PUD act of 1931
as amended by the session of 1933
that is under attack by opponents of
a peoples utility district in Hood
River county, attorneys in the state
engineer's office point out. One of
the points under attack is that which
authorizes the Hydro-electric com
mission to arbitrarily create a PUD
out of those portions of a proposed
project in which the vote has been
favorable. It is expected that it will
require a supreme court opinion to
definitely determine this issue.
Business conditions in Oregon to
day are the best in a decade in the
opinion of Governor Sprague who
calls attention to the fact that appli
cations for jobs on file with the
state employment service are only
half as numerous as they were a
year ago.
There is no relationship between
unemployment compensation and
old-age insurance, Silas Gaiser, ad
ministrator of the unemployment
compensation commission points out.
Deductions from employees pay
checks represent contributions to
the old-age pension fund, Gaiser ex
plains. Employees make no contri
butions towards the support of the
unemployment compensation fund.
The ill wind which blew up a big
war in Europe is expected to re
dound to the benefit of Oregon in at
least one respect. Harold B. Say,
head of the state highway depart
ment's travel bureau predicts that
restrictions against travel abroad
Heppner
will be reflected in a substantial in
crease in tourist travel to the Pacific
coast. Eastern travel agencies are
already being deluged by inquiries
for information relative to travel in
the west, Say has been informed.
Tremendous gains in travel from
eastern statea to Oregon were made
this summer as compared with 1938,
figures compiled from records of
non-resident registrations show. Ill
inois sent 1771 cars to Oregon during
July and August, a gain of 52 per
cent over 1938 Indiana, 517 cars, gain
of 55 per cent; Iowa, 986 cars, gain
of 44 per cent; Michigan, 776 cars,
gain of 39 per cent; Minnesota, 900
cars, gain of 31 per cent; New York,
801 cars, gain of 22 per cent; Ohio,
903 cars, gain of 59 per cent; and
Wisconsin, 523 cars, gain of 51 per
cent.
The abrupt halt of Atlantic off
shore travel is expected to divert a
big flow of tourist traffic to Treas
ure Island and the Pacific North
west this fall, Say believes.
William F. Woodward of Portland
has filed suit in the Marion county
circuit court in an effort to invali
date an appropriation of $65,000 set
aside by the last legislature to cover
the cost of compiling and printing a
new state code. Woodward in his
complaint charges among other
things that the house in senate in
repassing the bill covering the code
appropriation failed to take into con
sideration a conference committee
report reducing the appropriation to
$62,000. He also charges that the
lawmakers exceeded their authority
in delegating to the supreme court
"discretionary and determinative au
thority" in contracting for the pub
lication of the new code. The court
has already awarded the contract
for the new codes which are to be
published in ten volumes.
Oregon's national guard rifle team
placed fourth in a field of 47 na
tional guard teams and twelfth in
the entire field of 127 service, na
tional guard, reserve and civilian
teams competing at Camp Perry,
Ohio, according to word received by
Major General George A. White.
The team was composed of guard
members from Portland, La Grande,
Baker, Salem, and St. Helens.
Senator Charles L. McNary favors
a short session of Congress confined
to a consideration of neutrality leg
islation he declared before leaving
Salem for the national capitol Sat
urday night in response to Presi
dent Roosevelt's call for a special
session. As senate minority leader
McNary was invited to sit in on a
pre -session conference of House and
Senate leaders the day before the
session opened.

BERETS, SAILORS BACK TO TOP MILADY'S
GARB; HAVE YOU A CANE, MISTER?
Dear Gazette Times Readers:
Glory be! This year a hat is a hat,
and the craving for lids, thatched
roofs, and smoke stacks has almost
left the feminine heart. Men and
school girls have saved the day.
Berets have breezed in. Sailor hats
decorated with tiny animals and sou
venirs have said "hello," and birds
have gone to the head. A plain black
turban with a bright red bird and
a black one or two, with wings
spread, makes a charming afternoon
or dress-up hat. You can wear it to
town, to a party, to work, to club, or
almost anywhere, and for formality,
add a dainty snood or a veil.
High, wet unobtrusive crowns are
again a favorite, and wide brims
that defy the wind and rain are ever
so practical. Hats are pretty, this
year, and in many colors. There is
no hat of any age or nationality that
is not reflected in some way this
season, so don that hat you've been
wanting and proudly wear it, for
this year, hats are hats!
Sa ay! Men's clothes are making
debuts galore! Black and green,
brown and green, brown and tan,
brown and blue, blue and black, and
dashes of bright red are flutter
ing masculine fancies. One of the
most charming outfits of the sea
son is that of the green suit, brown

OBITUARY
Mrs. Charlotte Anderson passed
away at the family home in Goose
berry, Sept. 17, 1939, after a long
illness. Charlotte Augusta Anderson
was born in Gryhytta, Sweden, Feb.
20, 1862. She came to Morrow coun
ty, Oregon, June 2, 1893, and lived
here until the time of her death, be
ing aged 77 years, 6 months and 25
days. The funeral was held from the
Swedish Lutheran church in Goose
berry, Tuesday, Sept. 19, many
friends of the departed being present
to pay their last respects. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful.
Services were conducted by Rev.
Odell of Portland. She leaves to
mourn her loss the following chil
dren: August, Emma, Ruben of lone;
Edgar Anderson of Arlington; Mrs.
Minnie Reed of Walla Walla, Wash.;
Mrs. Agnes Potter of Prineville; also
six grandchildren. Mrs. Anderson
was a kind and loving mother. She
will be greatly missed by them all.
Her husband, Andrew Anderson,
passed away June 30, 1902. Con

tries are-expected to produce more
than 800,000,000 bushels.
(5) Wheat prices rose during the
first year of the World War, but fell
in the second. The marked increase
in wheat prices occurred during the
inflation that began in the third
year of the war and ended in the
topcoat, green hat, light brown shoes
and gloves, and, perhaps, a brown
cane. With a topcoat, gloves should
never be omitted, and though canes
are not often carried, they lend a
priceless dignity. Red kerchiefs and
ties are great. Double breasted suits
are more formal. With the exception
of sports suits, few have belted
backs, and guess what! Men's
waistlines are getting smaller! Ac
tually, and m-m-m do they look
good, too! That's just fine but will
there be bustles?
In every woman's life there are
two things she wants beyond all
others. One is a velvet dress, and
the other a beautiful negligee. Im
agine a white brocaded negligee with
long, full sleeves, a full skirt, zipper
front, sweetheart neckline, and a
blue velvet sash! I believe no woman
has fully lived until she has fulfilled
these two dreams. They can be in
expensive, too, but none the less
lovely.
Once more, the fashion cry that
has been heard thoughout the land:
Your waistline shall be smaller than
ever before.
I hope you will be looking for
ward to my next letter on sports
wear, street clothes, and evening
gowns.
Yours for more style and beauty,
JOYCE BIDDLE.
Oregon
price collapse and depression of 1921
(6) The average farm price of
wheat in the United States during
August, 1939, was 54.5 cents. Farm
ers cooperating with the AAA wheat
program have been able to realize
80 to 90 cents through the aid of
loans, ACP and parity payments.
The wheat conservation and price
adjustment payments in 1940 will
probably be between 18 and 22 cents.
(7) The national wheat acreage al
lotment for 1940 of 62,000,000 acres
is larger than the acreage harvested
in the United States any year from
1914 to 1918. With average yields,
this acreage will produce a crop
equal to probable domestic and ex
port needs, still leaving on hand the
present large carry-over.
(8) Although wheat prices in Ore
gon rose to an average of $1.02 in
1914, the year the World War began,
1940 of 851,000 acres is about as
much as was grown during early
years of the World War. In 1914, Or
egon farmers harvested 870,000 acres
they dropped to $0.84 in 1915. Not

until 1916 did they rise again above
a dollar. From that time on, they
were on an inflationary basis, and
high wheat prices were paid for by
the difficult readjustment which fol
lowed. (9) Oregon's wheat allotment for
of wheat, in 1915 they harvested
960,000 acres, and in 1916 they har
vested 840,000 acres.
Since the time of the World War
European countries have expanded
their wheat acreage and production.
They are now more self-sufficient
in wheat production than at the
opening of the World War.
