Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
A REDUCTION of more than one
third In automobile license fees,
Chairman Scott aaya. would upset
Oregon's whole state highway system.
A flat 5 fee, which many people
are advocating, would end all new
construction, would lose to Oregon
her share of the federal aid funda and
would carry the threat of throwing
back onto property a part of the bur
den of paying off the state highway
bonds.
Fine highway systems, you see, Just
CAN'T be built and maintained wlth
, out a certain amount of money.
BEFORE license 'tees are slashed
sharply, thus endangering the
whole highway structure, thla writer
would like to see Oregon try the ex-
pedlent of Installment paymenta for
' licenses.
There la much protest over high
license fees, and Indeed they are bur
densome, for they have to be paid
ALL IN ONE LUMP, and that does
come hard In times when money Is
none too plentiful.
A reasonably almple system of quar
terly paymenta would make licenses
a lot easier to buy.
INCIDENTALLY, the present state
highway commission, composed of
Leslie Scott, Carl Washburne and Ed
Aldrlch, Is entitled to more credit
than It la getting for the good work
It has done.
These men have taken a state high
way system that was geared for boom
production, more or less regardless
of cost, and have trimmed It down
and adapted It to the pressing prob
lems of the lean years of depression
If you have ever tackled a Job of that
L eort, you know It Isn't easy.
They have done a fine Job and are
getting an amazing mileage of high
ways for the money they are spending
ANOTHER burning Issue, in Oregon
and elsewhere, Is Indicated by the
following paragraph In the political
newe of the day:
"Unfortunately, there are not
enougb federal positions to sstlsfy the
demands of Oregon Democrats, and It
should be remembered that Oregon
la only one of 48 states."
THE rational administration, you
1 see, hss changed, the Republicans,
who have been In power for a long,
long time, having been thrown out
on their ears, and the Democrats
having been given the reins of vx-
thorlty and while to you and me
and the rest of the common herd
this may mean only the hope that a
change will be a good thing for the
country, to the POLITICIANS, big and
Mlttle. It means something else en
tirely.
To them It meana JOBS, and Joba,
for himself and for his followers, are
what the politician lives for.
I TP AT THE TQP there are the big
J jobs, such aa cabinet positions
and ambassadorships.
Along In the middle are the middle
sized Jobs, like postmastershlps and
collectors of Internal revenue. And
away down at the bottom are the
little Jobs, for the hewera of wood
and the carriers of water.
And on all of these Jobs, big and
little, hundreds of thousands of eager
and hungry eyea are fixed. A lot of
. hearts are going plt-a-pat at the pros
pects. AND don't think that the giving
out of these Joba Is going to be
all happiness and satisfaction. There
will be msny heart-burnings by the
time the distribution Is all made
many faithful henchmen who will be
SURE they have been done dirt.
There's plenty of grief, even In the
giving out of political Jobs.
TURNING from' politics and Joba.
which are among the big things
In political years, to the lesser things
of life, we learn from the papera that
a Los Angelea man la suing his wife
for a divorce because she WOULDN'T
serve him spinach every day of the
week.
Will somebody plesae page the Joke
smiths end when they appear In re
sponse to the paging, hand them
Isrge rszzberry? For somebody has
put castor oil In their coffee.
According to the Jokesmlths EVERY
MAN Is supposed to LOATHE spinach.
Yet here la one who la kicking up
a frightful disturbance because he

BEFORE KIWANIS
'Operation of the county commis
sary, established for the relief of
the unemployed, waa explained today
noon by Victor Tengwald, secretary
to the county court, at the noon
luncheon of the Klwanls club to clear
up the mlsunderstsndlng reported
about the country regarding the
commissary and methods of food dis
tribution observed there.
"In the first place," ho pointed
out In answer to claims of prices
charged and collected on the prod
ucts, "the commissary la operated as
a medium of exchange for labor and
no money la paid for product ob
tained there."
If some of the prices, as has been
claimed, are higher than those
charged In stores of the city, Mr.
Tengwald pointed out, It la because
an unfair comparison haa been made.
Local merchanta, he explained, from
day to day present leadera on spe
cials, upon which a lower price la
charged. The next day thla aame
product may be back at ita original
selling price. In the oommlasary a
price haa been established In keep
ing with the average price oharged
by stores throughout the county for
their products.
In order to arrive at a fair medium
for the exchange of products in re
turn for labor, It la necessary that
the commissary maintain a cerain
price which la not changed from day
to day In accordance with store cus
toms. Mr. Tengwald also explained to the
Klwaniana that persona with money
to pay for their groceries do not ob
tain producta at the county commis
sary, and that those who have ob
tained relief work are only supplied
by the commissary until they can
get their 'warranta cashed, ct which
time they are free to buy wherever
they choose.
Those w&o receive warrants In con
alderatlon of their services are fre
quently given requisitions on the
commissary before the work la as
signed and before they receive their
money. When thla Is the esse the
amount la deducted from their first
warrants, Mr. Tengwald explained,
and placed back In the commissary
fund In order to create a revolving
fund for replenishing the commis
sary on a basis of exchange for labor.
Most of the men going out on re
lief Jobs are absolutely without funds
snd must be provlled with food un
til their first warranta com In. It
is therefore necessary to grant them
requisitions, Mr. Tengwald stated.
