Celebrating yesterday his twentieth iiimiveijsary us kins of England and emperor of India, King George went to the races for the first time since Ins' serious illness.

His sub jects rejoiced. lie has been a good king, aware that the business of a British ruler is to listen to his ministers, chosen by the peo ple, and say "ameu" when they have spoken. Looking back over twenty Win, CUnvrfl. must feel Vjjratefnl for the firmness of rfis throne, one of few, in volved in the world war, that survived it. If he looks ahead India prob ably worries him. In the reign of Queen Vic toria, a keen man whose an cestors came from Asia, Dis raeli, made the queen of those foggy western islands empress of India. j It would be interesting if a shrunken, half starved uscetic j Hindu, sitting in a British, prison in India, should take 1 the imperial crown from the head of King George. Gandhi, comfortable in his British jail, sends polite thanks j V the kind treatment. Mean while his followers, freed from his gentle advice and reniark ihlo control, worry the British. The army is iu control of India. European civilians car ry weapons to protect them, selves. Three hundred million Asiatics, even water-drinking, vegetarian, naturally peaceful Asiatics, would not be easily controlled with patriotic ex citement moving them. E. C.

The debate was held in the Presbyterian church. The Corvallis girls used a chart in their arguments, which listed six organic elements of a Btnte administrative reorganization, five of which chey defied the- affirma tive to break down. These points were directly dealt with by young Dougherty. The -clever remarks of Miss Cromish kept the Inrge audience in a jovial mood while arguing for the negative. Her well direct ed argument and unusual compari sons brought applause, from the crowd. Rebuttal speeches were given by Winne and Miss Cromish. at which time comments were made com par ing the teams to patchwork quilts and other objects. Itof ut c Argument. Miss Cromish stated that If Ore gon went Into the cabinet form of government without gradual change she would come out more dead than nllvo.

Baker was chairman of the debate, with Bob Getz of 'or vallla and Kdward Reames of Med ford as timekeepers. The judges were Victor Morris, .1. K.

Xo action was taken on the par tial agreement of the committee which conferred on differences be tween the two congress lona I branches. PORTLAND, Ore., Muy 7. (iP) Congressional delegations of Ore gon, Washington und Montana to day received a message signed by thirty-eight Pacific northwest log ging and lumber firms demanding that they join in accomplishing the defeat of the tariff meusure If items for the protection of the lumber industry uro not restored to the bill. The message, which followed the defeat of duties on lumber and shingles In the house of represen tatives, stated that the lumbermen regarded tho present status of the tariff controversy as conclusive evidence that there was a "total disregard of western interests by representatives in congress from the east." Another section of the lengthy telegram, sent last night after u conference between representatives of the thirty-eight concerns, stated that the lumber tariff "is being used as a political football." In still another section the tele gram stated: "On account of the Russian and Canadian lumbermen using the United States for their dumping ground for surplus pro ducts, there Is now a 2b per cent unemployment in this industry and unless there Is early relief this unemployment may be increased to fit) per cent." The lumbermen, who said the burden of this would be laid di rectly at the door of the represen tatives In congress, contested the idea that the northwest senators and representatives should remain regular in supporting a tariff which is said to have failed to provide for the prosperity of "the basic industry of tho Pacific north west." 4 OAKLAND, fiillf., May ".
