with a "bookkeeping-' deficit at
the end of the present biennium,
as the funds can be used to wipe
out the deficit estimated to be
between $5,000,000 and $8,000,000.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
The State of Oregon has never
failed to provide well for its
wards. At each session of the
legislature funds for food, cloth
ing and other necessities are ap
propriated for the coming bien
nium. If the price of these com
modities goes up above the esti
mates the emergency board rais
es the money to meet the higher
costs of living of the wards. The
wards must eat.
With the servants of the state
it is different. When their salar
ies cannot meet the rising costs
of living they must go hungry or
get another job where prevailing
wages are paid. This makes tax
es higher. Valuable and experi
enced workers must be replaced
with green help and the cost of
conducting state departments
mount. Better salaries attraact
better employees.
The present members of the
emergency board are taking a
new look.
LOCAL OPINION ON SCHOOL
PATROLS
School safety patrols may be
establsihed by school districts
and boards for the purpose of reg
ulating the conduct of pupils go
ing to and from school, but the
patrols may not regulate traffic
or perform any functions proper
ly belonging to the police power
of the town or city wherein the
district is located, according to
recent opinion of Attorney Gen
eral George Neuner.
A school district is not liable
in damages for injury or death
of patrol members while on duty,
, and superintendents and teachers
I can be made to respond in dam
ages only in the negligent ad
ministration of such a system.
BEEN WATCHING PARKS
CROW?
Oregon has ecently added more
charm to her state park system
justifying fast-growing fame for
having the most alluring natural
parks of any of the states. One
of the most beautful of these
Hilmick park adjoining Camp
Adair south of Monmouth, has
just been enlarged to five times
its original size. The added area
extends along both banks of the
Luckiamute rver, and "contains
some of the most enchanting syl
van glades in the west," declares
S. H. Boardman, state park super
intendent.
During the past few weeks two
new state parks have been ac
quired: The Sunset park area
deeded to the state by Coos coun
ty and 400 acres on upper Rogue
river between Trail and Prospect.
The latter has two miles of front
age on each side of the river and
cost the state only $1600, most
of it for back taxes.
OHEGONIAN SLATED FOR
CABINET
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
P. Anderson announced this week
he will quit his cabinet post be
fore the end of the fiscal year,
confirming the report made ex
clusively in this column more
than six weeks ago. Anderson
will run for the senate in New
Mexico to succeed Senator Hatch
(D) who is not seeking re-election.
Norris E. Dodd, who started his
public career in Oregon as an
AAA committeeman and rose to
head the AAA in Washington, D.
C, is scheduled to succeed An
derson. LIQUOR BY THE DRINK j
A preliminary initiative peti
tion to permit sale of liquor by
the drink was filed with the stale
department this week. The bill
would legalize such sales in ho
tels, restaurants and clubs and
on airplanes, steamships anu
railroads.
All liquor sold by the drink
would have to be bought from
the state liquor commission, it
would be subject to an additional
tax of 25 cents a quart. Dispensers
would pay $500 a year for a li
cense. It could be sold only in
places which serve meals, but the
liquor could be served m any
room in such an establishment.
If sufficient signatures are ob
tained the measure will appear
on the November ballot.
Eastern Oregon College of Edu
cation. Mr. Donald W. Amund
son, instructor in social science,
evaluated the high school group.
Mr. Alvln R. Kaiser of the Eng
lish and dramatics department
was the critic for the elementary
section, and both men served at
the evening performance.
The committee in charge was
Mrs. Marie Clary, chairman; Mrs.
Lucy Rodgers, secretary; Mr. and
Mrs. Feathers of Lexington; Mr.
Forsythe and Mrs. Ely of lone;
Mr. Fahey and Mr. Bergstrom of
Boardman; Mr. Solwold and Mrs.

Yvonne Hastings of the Heppner
high school was property man

and all participants were admit
ted without charge at the eve
ning performance.
The speech festival was held
first in 1945 at the Lexington
school. In 1946 at the Boardman
school and last year at lone. The
event is the culmination of works
done during the year, and it
closely follows the state speech
program, so that the contestants
can go on to the next division,
if they wish. The work is of great
value, and these festivals help to
rate Morrow county among the
top ones in the state in speech
works.
