Mr. and Mrs. Shawver came to Hermiston in August, 1917, and have made their home here, saying many times during their stay how well they liked this locality. They came from Texas where they left most of their immediate family. Mr. Shawver has one niece, Mrs. Florence Shuck of Yakima, Wn., surviving. Four sisters and two brothers survive Mrs. Shawver.

SUBSCRIPTION, $2.00 PER YEAR HIGHER EDUCATION TAKES BIG EXPENSE APPROPRIATION SLASH SALARY REDUCTIONS INCLUDED IN CURTAILMENT. Board's Biennial Report Shows Cuts Now Made or Ordered Total Third of Funds. That higher education In Oregon has already gone far with economy in state affairs by reduction in ex- penditures of about 22 per cent in the past two years, and will cut still further to more than 31 per cent on the basis of prospective in come from present authorized sour ces, is shown In the biennial report of the state board of higher educa tion recently issued for distribution to members of the legislature, state officials and libraries. The published report provided for by law contains 151 pages and in cludes the report of the board for the system as a whole, the report for the University of Oregon submit ted by Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, president there during the 1931-32 biennium, the report of Oregon St ite college by Dr. W. J. Kerr, formerly president there though now chancel lor of the system, and the rep nt of the normal schools submitted by J. A. Churchill, director of elementary teacher training. Average annual reduction for the past two years amounts to $1,161,- 291 as compared with the average expenditures for each year of the 1929-30 biennium, the report shows. Curtailments effected by the board included salary reduction through- out the system already In effect ranging from 5 to 15 per cent, which involved ravings at the rate of $182,000 per year. In order to meet further shrink age in income from present author- | ized sources, additional curtailment for the system aggregating $830,- 000 are outlined by the board in its j report, part of which will be made i up by further reducing salaries so that the total cut under the 1931- 32 base will range from 9 to 27 per cent. Additional drastic savings in the salary account are being made | by heavy reduction in number of ' staff members made possible through | consolidation of certain depart-1 inents, decreased enrollment, and | complete elimination of some former activities. Continuing appropriations restric ted to branch experiment stations, extension work and similar pro jects in agriculture and home eco nomic:-—the only state income out side of the millage now coming to higher education—will be automa- tically reduced through shrinkage In county appropriations which are matched by the state, the report points out.

Barlow re turned Saturday from attending : canning school at Corvallis which i directed each year through the ex tension service at O.S.C. The firs week was devoted to instruction 11 fruit and vegetable canning, Mr Barlow said, and the second week to fish canning. The largest enroll ment was In the former classes. E. Wiegand, head of the Horti culture department at the college, directed Instruction, assisted by Thos. Omsdorff Mr. Parlow said that the many representatives of both small and large canneries exchanged ideas. He said he discovered the reason for the portable cannery in Josephine conn ty being able to process cans for 1 1-2 or 5 cents per can. The small cost is due to the fact that the can nery Is a portable affair constructed on a four-wheel trailer, which elim inates all overhead costs. The cans were obtained for relief work at a very low cost. Mr. and Mrs. Barlow manage the Hermiston Cooperative Cannery & Laundry. Mikesell Makes Honor Roll.

Proclaimed In Force After Secretary of State Files Formal Record; President Takes Office Jan. 20. (From Monday’s Oregonian) After ten years of trying, and 100 of waiting, the United States mod ernized its political machine today by eliminating defeated officials— the "lame ducks” — from govern ment. A 20th amendment was written into the constit ition .declaring that after this year both the president and the newly chosen congress shall take office the January following November’s election, and that the old-time short session, which for so long has clogged the political ma chinery with its in flectiveness, hall be nell no more. The present ne is the last. Thirty-si:: states of the union rati ied the amendment In less than one- enth the time ft took to convince ongress that the country demanded ibolltion of this lumbering antiqui ty. Missouri completed the ratifica- ion. seizing the distinction of bein 36th approving state by a wide- awake maneuver. Its house was to meet at 2 o'clock to act on the amendment already ratified by the Missouri senate. The Massachus etts house was to do exactly the same thing but had the one-hour advantage of being in the eastern time zone. The Missouri sneaker rounded up his members for a 10- o’clock-in-the-morning session and the job was done in next to no time. Though actually part of the con- titution from today on, the amend ment will be proclaimed in force un til the secretary of state receives the 36th formal record of state action. By its own terms it will not take affect until October 15. Had it been in force last October, Franklin D. Roocevelt would be in the White House today. Congress will meet every year on lanuary 3. The president will take ffice every four years on January (Concluded on page four) % • • •• • 099000 • • • • > ALONG THE CONCRETE $ • • 949******%* **** 6 Claud McCall of Stanfield says the depression Is over.
