The estimate of Ben Wing, named
recently by Governor Meier and
State Treasurer Rufus Holman to
handle , the Job of collecting (20 a
month from the various counties for
Inmates committed to state institu
tions such as 'the asylum, that the
new statute would return to the
state some (300,000 during the blen
nlum seems to have been prema
ture and somewhat exaggerated.
In fact. It appears extremely
doubtful if the state receives any
thing. ''
Wing, Governor Meier. Holman ond
advocates of the plan whereby the
Meier administration would be en
abled to claim credit for another
"tax reduction" economy by the
simple expedient of transferring the
burden of caring for the mentally
deficient and other dependent wards
from the shoulders of the state to
those of the counties calculated
without taking Into consideration
tho fact' that the counties might
have different ideas.
Multnomah county's court, for In

and has flatly ond bluntly stated
that It does not intena k ao sny

Wing for the care of Multnomah
county patients In state Institutions
for the months of June and July.
They soy; an,4 with plenty of Justi

Marlon county feels something the
same way about it and Is asking
tho attorney general's opinion as to
tho constitutionality of the law. In
formation from other parts of the
state Is to the effect that several
counties will assume the same atti
tude. If the state Is going to col
lect that (20 a month per head It
Is going to have to do more than
ask for It. What that something
may be is uncertain, for It does not
.nnaaK that tIA TUirt COllld bV BhV
stretch of the constitution and the
statutes, consistently order tne coun
ties to pay again for what they have
already paid. t ,
If there Is any public question more
batXllug than tho plight of agricul
ture, wo don t know what It Is. Take
for example tho present state of the
grain market.
The spring wheat forecast Indicates
a yield for lowor than any for the
past fifteen years. But the wlntor
wheat orop looks to bo tho biggest
in history, except for the year 1019.
The total crop, therefore, la some IB
million bushels above last year. But
the Canadian yield Is somo 200 mU
lion bushels' less. Putting two" and
two together but wait a minute, the
farm board has 300 million In storage,
which tndcr Its present policy mtglit
be thrown on tho market at the rote
of 5 million bushels a month.
President Hoover contributes to the
confusion by a 'public attack on spec
ulators who sell wheat short. Others
protest that short selling Is a useful
function and might even be "a bless
ing to farmers." And so on and so 3n.
It Is quite hopeless for the layman
to try to understand It. Imtced It Is
a sew re- question- whether any one
person can understand it. Taken as a
whole the agricultural problem Is one
of thso that are too large to be pass
ed through any one brain In a single
lifetime. And In thla case two heads
do not seem to be better than one
because no two heads have been able
to agree on what should be done.
It Is Just about a hundred years
now slnco a pleasant agrarlau culture
began to feel the pressure of Indus
trial forces. Machines, a drift to the
cities, a new class dominating finance
and politics, tariffs, world relations
the whole complex structure grew up
around the farmer and walled him
away from the prevailing prosperity.
Now, however the structure begins to
sway and topple, the heaviest bricks
fall on the farmer.
We have no pet theory to offer. We
are very skeptical about the pet theo
ries of others. At the some time we
believe that now. as at no time lb the
past century, It Is Important to listen
patiently to every proposal for relief
and to test out those which has rea
sonable scrutiny. And, above all, we
must cry down those queerly blind
people who insist that the farmer Is
getting along all right and that he
I Just a lasy loafer and a chronic
whlner. This nation will not be Mght
until It clears Its record not only of
Its city slums but also of its poverty-

Press Comment
' . ANOTHER SALARY RISE
Formers who ore struggling to moke
ends meet and laborers who are work
ing for half what they used to get
will hardly be expected to sympathize
with the state program of boosting
salaries.
A heck of a howl goes up when the
legislature votes salary rises, but now
we have an economy administration
that is doing what the legislature In
days 'of prosperity might not dare to
do.
Tho Sentinel has already colled at
tention to Beveral salary rises. Now
comes a boost for the budget director
from (4,800 to (6,000.
(Farmers who ore selling oggs and
potatoes ot less than the cost of pro
duction are likely to' feel that, for
the present at least, the budget di
rector could hove struggled along on
$400 a month, which probably - was
high a wage as he ever got when he
was a newspaper reporter, and ' who
probably works half as many hours
as he worked when ho was a news
paper reporter.
6am Kozer, who was budget direct
or before he was replaced by Henry
Hazcn, voluntarily asked that his sal
ary be cut from (6,000 to (4.800,
largely on the grounds that the Job
requires only about half time except
preceding and during legislative ses
sions. It would seem that no one Is
better qualified for tho Job than Sam
ICozer, who was In the secretary of
state s oince for ' many years. ' Cer-
tolnly the present director can not
be expected to do a bettor Job than
Sam would hove done, for ho had no
previous experience whatever to
qualify him for the Job.
This writer likes Henrv Hanzon,
Henry Is a first class newspaper man,
but we con't see how the governor
is going to Justify paying on Inex
perienced man (o,000 a year when an
experienced man was willing to work
for (4,800.
Not only that, but It Is this writer's
recollection that tho legislature al
lowed only (4,800 for 3alary of the
budget director,. It would be Inter
esting to know how the chief execu
tive Is going tp set aside the intent
of the legislature.
Thi9 writer falls to see- -how the
boosting of thla particular salary fits
in In any 'way with the efficiency
and ecenomy program on which the
govornor was elected. The new di
rector con hardly be as efficient as
theone who was displaced, and . the
one displaced was willing to work for
the salary provided by the legislature.
Of course Director Honzen is also
one of the chief advisers tu the gov
ernor, and In that capacity he may
be worth the extra (1.200. probably
Is worth thot much or more, but ex
penditures for gubernatorial, advisers
should come out of direct appropria
tions for' conduct of the governor's
cfflce. Cottage Grove Sentinel.

17.10 young woman In the picture,
Ruth Callahan,' was employed by a
prohibition agent, Ralph E. Dell In
Buffalo, to get "evidence." Sho got
It. In ono night Bhc collected as
cvldenco four quarts of ale, throe gin
rlckeys, eight Tom Collinses, one
highball ond a few beers for a chaser.
Sho also spent the next few days
in a hospital. That is perhaps not
surprising.
T.'ie drinks listed above are a good
dcnl of a load for a 19 year old girl
to carry, even If tho government did
pay for them. L '
But lot Ruth tell live story:
- "I .wos offered (10 for every piece
of evidence that turned Into an ar
rest. I hod been paid (70 In all for
two previous trips with Dell. I sup
pose that mount that my activities
had led to the raid ot at least seven
ot the places I had visited."
On her third trip. Ruth soys:
"I met Dell about 9 o'clock In the
evening and at t,'ie first place we
stopped we had two quarts of ale
apiece and one Tom Collins. I was
told that It would be necessary In
most roses to have ot least three
drinks in order to moko tho evidence
conclusive. 1
"At our next atop wc hod thrtti
more Tom Collinses and then stopped
at a restaurant for three small bcersJ
at onoiner resiaurant lor inrce more
Tom Collinses, and then at another
where I hod two drinks and DeU had
three.
"I dont remember muc'i except
that we stopped at two more saloons
and I had a highball and a Tom
Collins at the tint on and three gin
rlckeys at the other. We wound up
at a beer flat where private rooms
were available. We had two quarts
of ale there. . .
Returning from this expedition the
cor In which Ruth was riding crashed
and f,1e was arrested. That is how
the story came out.
Since then the chief prohibition
agent In Buffalo has ordered that no
more women or girls are to be em
ployed as decoys. That Is gratifying.
even it it amounts to locking the
stable door after the horn was stolen.
Women and girls still are used as
deeoys la olhef districts, though, and ,
