Comment the on Day's News By FRANK JENKINS rorj must now put a three-cent atamp on your letter. Instead of a two-cent stamp. Why? The answer la simple: Because the government must have the money with which to pay Its bills. rrs government of the United States, you see. Is Just like the rest of us. If It spends a lot of money, It must TAKE IN a lot of money, or go broke. The only way the government has of taking In money Is by taxing people. HERE Is the point: It the govern ment spends a lot of money, in response to public demand, or for any other reason, It must levy a lot of taxea In order to GET the money. WE have to pay the taxes. THE postofflce department expects the Increase In postage from two cents In the past to three cents In the future to bring In additional revenue to the extent of about 130. 000,000. It may Interest you to know that the DEFICIT In the postofflce depart ment last year was a trifle over two hundred million dollars. That Is to say, toe 130,OO0,0OO In additional revenue to be produced by the Increase of one cent on the post age you must pay on each letter you send out will lack 70,000,000 of mak ing up the deficit In the postofflce department. It costs money to run the malls In this country," doesn't It? WE can't have quarterly paymenta for automobile licenses in Ore gon, we read, because there Is no law sanctioning such an arrangement. So we ahall have to wait until the legislature meets. That, of course, la sound reasoning. If the law doesn't permit it, we mustn't do It. ' STILL, the law doesn't permit soliciting rldea by the hitch-hikers who crowd the roads. It la a crime to point your thumb down the highway, thereby indicating to the passing motorist that you want a lift. Yet every hitch-hiker on the road does It, and nothing la done about it. rIS all wrong to thumb a ride from the passing motorist, because the law saya that such thing mustn't be done. But It la BEING DONE all the time, and nobody la offering any objection. This writer has a foolish notion that It we should simply go ahead and provide for Installment paymenta on automobile licenses, It would be no worse than thumbing rldea on the highways when the law saya wa MUSTN'T do such things. In other words, It It Is all right to do the thlnga the law aaya we mustn't do, as we are constantly do ing In this country, It wouldn't be so terribly bsd to occaalonally do some thing that the law doesn't aay speci fically that we must do. It'a a poor rule that doesnt work both waya. QUARTERLY payments for automo bile licenses would work certain hardships. The highway commission, for example, wouldn't get lta money quite as soon as It needs It. Many counties wouldn't get their share of the automobile license money as soon aa they need It. But If quarterly paymenta of auto mobile licenses resulted In bringing In more money to the state of Oregon than would otherwise be the ease, aa in this particular year would prob ably be true, they would be a good thing In the long run for the state of Oregon. PLEA OF JOBLESS OLYMPIA. Wash, July 7. -(AP) A committee representing two unem ployed groups, who trekked to the stat capital to seek leglstatire relief, finally succeeded In presenting their demands to the governor, but today were still In doubt as to the re suite of their demonstrations and demands. Governor Roland H. Hartley, after a three-hour conference with the jobless representatives yesterday, aald tha question of an extra aeaslon of the legislature to act upon unem ployment problems could not be answered until later. "The ques tion la too vital, too Important to the state to be aolved by hasty ac tion." he said. Newsmen were barred &O0 tt tBSffW. FATE OF FLIERS Mattern and Griffin Unre ported Since Leaving Berlin On Record Seeking Globe Girdling Flight MOSCOW, July 7. (AP) James Mattern find Bennett Griffin, missing between Berlin and Moscow on their round the world flight, were still unreported at noon E. S. T. today. If they were still In the air at that time, they would be forced down for that was the, limit beyond which the fuel they took aboard at Berlin would be exhausted. They had full tank when they took off from Berlin at 3 p.m., E. 8. T. yesterday. That was approxi mately 600 gallons, enough to keep them in the air 31 hours. Officials at the flying field here sent inquiries to all points along the route from Berlin, but there was no word of the Americans. May Have Passed Moscow. There was a possibility they had passed Moscow in the night without being seen and kept on toward Omsk, 1600 miles to the east. Omsk, however, la without good communication facilities and If the fliers had landed there word of their arrival might be delayed in reaching Moscow, It was possible also they might have been forced down between Ber lin and there. The terrain Is such as to make an emergeecy landing possible, but there, too, communi cations are not of the best. SET SEPTEMBER 1 F T Thursday, September 1, was yes terday agreed upon by the county court and the American Legion poet committee as date for dedication of the new county courthouse. - Tha edifice, according to J.

NORTHWEST APPLE FREIGHT RATE CUT WENATCHEE, Wash., July 7. 7P) Presidents of three railroad systems today denied the northwest apple in dustry a reduction in freight rates. It was the last attempt of the apple growers and shippers to obtain relief from wht they termed "unfair, ex- horbltant and ruinous wartime freight rates." Signed by Charles Donnelly, presi dent of the Northern Pacific, Carl Gray of the Union Pacific and W. P. Kenney of the Great Northern, the following telegram was received from Chicago by ths Wenatche Valley Trafflo association: "The matter of an emergency rate on apples was given furthei and comprehensive consideration at meeting here today at which were represented all lines west of Chi cago. The conclusion Is Inevitable that' the apple rate cannot be con sidered alone and that a reduction, it made,, cannot In fairness be de nied shippers of fruits ot all de scriptions, not only from the Pa cific coast states, but from Inter mountaln territory as well and It would be difficult, If not Impossible, to prevent Its spreading to vege tables from the same territory and even to agricultural products of all kinds."

Garner ticket. And 1st last night came word from Cleveland that New ton D. Baker, "dark horse" candidate at the convention, was backing the governor. The Roosevelt forces had said little about the rumors that former Gov ernor Smith might not support the nominee whose selection he fought so bitterly, but It was no secret that until he spoke all waa not sunVilne In ths governor's camp. Every Roose velt leader, and ths governor him self, had pleaded for harmony and a united party.

(AP) A palmist and a plainly upset young woman who cried with tears In her eyes of her honor paraded across the stage of the St. Plerre-Hutton breach of promise suit today to the aston ished gasps of a crowded courtroom and the banging of a Judge's gavel.

As her pleas seemed to approach the stage of hysteria, the Judge, with stern emphasis, laid down a final warning against her repeated outbursts of emotions. Miss St. Pierre, recalled to the witness stand In rebuttal of testi mony offered by the defense about her past life and other alleged lovers, became so excited at one point that Judge Roth was forced to dismiss the Jury while he reprimanded her. Hutton watched the proceedings with Interest, The outbreak was engendered whan the attractive brunette was asked If she had ever seen Mrs. Catherine Elsoff before. The witness face flushed and she cried: Judge Halts Trial. "I've never seen that vicious wo man before In my life." At this remark, prompted by Mrs. Elsoff's testimony that Ml&s St. Pierre had entered a hospital in 1026 for a delicate operation, Judge ROth halted the trial and excused the Jurors.
