You will have to learn the deaf and dumb language to get anything out of gov ernment statisticians nowadays. They do not care much for English since Frank Walker lasued that rider harmonizing government statistics Walker gave the harmony batons to himself, Labor Secretary Perkins and Belief Director Hopkins. They are supposed to look over statistics be dsore the publlo gets them. The first result has been to cause lot of expert government statistic ians to start looking around quietly Jor Jobs outside the government ser vice. ' Reasons. The Inside story of why Walker act ed shows that he did NOT write the Brder Just to amuse himself. A certain official, higher up than he Is. has been greatly annoyed late ly by varying government statistics. Those given out at the White House always lend a rosy tint to the busi ness situation, as do those Issued by lAbor Secretary Perkins. The fig ures from the federal reserve board and commerce department appear to be less rosy. Now the White House crowd con tends that most of the statistics, except their own, are lop-sided. They say that they want to present a balsnced picture. That la all right in purpose, per taps, but when you give politically tnlnded men the right to read copy on government figures you are very apt to get your politics and your Jlgures mixed. Censorship. Walker well knew there would be a censorship hue and cry railed about his order. That Is why he attached to It a phase requiring that all statistics be tlully and truthful ly told so as to present t,he entire story." . .. i The trouble with that is that Walker, Miss Perkins and Hopkins are the ones who decide what is full, truthful and the entire story. They are sincere In their denial that they Intend to censor any fig ures. T.hey are going to let news men see the statisticians as usual and for all outward appearances the censorship Idea is what General Johnson calls a hob-goblln. But underneath an effect already lias been wrought on the men who TTlte statistics. They have wives and families to support. They have a, feeling that the boss want rosy statistics, and wftether he does or not, those are the kind he will prob ably get from now on. Figures. The man who said figures dont le was NOT acquainted with mod ern statistical methods. An expert can give you any kind of figures you want, suspicion has elways been directed against ths rarlous Wall street agencies which specialized In statistics. They can make you believe the outlook Is good, bad or indifferent, by a slight twist of the wrist. If left alone the government sta tisticians will always be above sus plclon. Thsre are no higher types of men In government service than the technical experts such as the itatlslctans, geologists. engineers, etc. They go on without respect to politics from administration to al mtnlstratlon. During the Hoover era there was e, wild howl when heads of certain bureaus started emphasising bullish Ilgures. The dispute over accuracy of unemployment figures lasted two years and was an Issue In the pres idential campaign. Since the start of the new admin istration the lid has been off. there has been no suspicion that figures were being doctored. Substitution. Ths federal reserve monthly did not contain Its usual analysis of the business situation thla month. In that space was one of Mr. Roosevelt's speeches. Insiders say the monthly went to press before the Walker order and even before General Johnson took the reserve board statisticians to task for saying Industrial production was lower in code Industries. Stop Orders. Steps were secretly taken by the government a few dare ago to stop the flight of capital from this coun try. A regulation was Issued requiring every man seeking balances abroad to affirm that he Is complying with the spirit as well as the letter of Mr. Roowvelt's gold embargo order. This Is supposed to have been one of the subjects discussed by J. P. Morgan at .the White House, al though you will never get It out of Morgan or te White House. No. 1 Man. The title Henry Morgenthau has as assistant treasury secretary does not mean anything. He Is running half a dozen different government shows In and outride the treasury. While Port. Myer was llnstalled In hi shoes at the farm credit adminis tration, Morgsnthau K still the boss there. He Is clearly the No. 1 man In the Inner picture now. Notes.

NOT. 30 (IP) The 37th assembly gt under full sway in extra ordinary session at noon today when Governor Julius L. Meier officially opened the meeting with his message featuring a five-point emergency pro gram. Both house organizations were perfected according to plana and the senate started work on a measure to have the three legislative vacancies filled. An almost unanimous expression o' "fine messsge" was msde by lesdlng senators and representatives following the governor's address. Many of them said they agreed with the program with but few exceptions. "A fine message and one which lays a groundwork for this session and if carried out we should be ftnlshed with emergency work within the 20 days," decelared Fred B. Kiddle, pres ident of tihe senate. Rnell Lauds Message Earl W. Snell, speaker of the house, when asked his opinion of the mes sage, declared it "was an excellent message. It gives us a fine and defi nite program that if adhered to will expedite the business of this session and his urgency that only emergency proposals be considered expresses ex atly the sentiment of the maajorlty of the members of the house. I was pleased he presented such a message." "There was no politics played in the Important phases of the messsge," declared Senator Harry Corbett of Portland. I thought It an excellent piece of work." Senator Jay Upton of Bend, said that while he dlsabreed with some points he believed the mes sage very good. Lonergan Pleased In the house Prank Lonergan of Portland expressed himself relative to the address with the words "a good message," very good." Dean Walker of Polk county also added a similar com ment. The general house and senate reaction was favorable to the gover nor's program. Members of the supreme court and state elective officials sat upon the platform when the governor made his address. Hal B. Hoss. secretary of state, was at the capitol but did not arrive at the house chambers In time to hear the message. Both houses were In Joint session to greet the gov ernor and the galleries were filled to capacity. Prior to the address the senate launohed into business of filling va cancies in the senate and house un der the first bill Introduced, by Sen ator George W. Dunn of Jackson county. His measure called for the appointment of the members by the governor with approval In the houses where the vacancies exist. Senator Jay Upton protested the neasure. but the bill was laid on the table for later action. - TO $33.66 PER OZ. WASHINGTON, NOT. 20.

(UP) Highlights of Governor Meier's mes sage told In brief quotations: The duration of special sessions is limited to twenty days, which in Itself Is a plain mandate that consid eration shall be given therein only to legislation of emergency character. Licensing private individuals to en gage In the wholesale or retail liquor business has conclusively proved Itself a failure, and to return to any such system would invite Inevitable disaster. The approach of winter la rapidly aggravating the serious aspect of the relief situation. A state school fund produced from sources other than a property tax would aid In adjusting the Inequal ities that exist between poor and rich districts and would tend to equalize the educational opportunities for children of the state. I would suggest creation of a sep arate state authority with power to aid refinancing state, municipal, and local bonds and warrants. The principle that busses and trucks should pay a fair return for use of our highways should be main tained. If inequalities exist In the bus and truck laws, they should be adjusted.

GROSS UTILITIES EARNINGS TAX IS GOVERNOR'S IDEA Unemployment Relief Funds From Liquor State Body To Aid Tax Delinquency Solution Among Points. By PLAYTOV V. BERN HARD (Associate Press Staff Writer) SALEM, Nov. 20.

Meier's messsge to the special session of the Oregon leg islature today. Five definite proposals were pre sented by the executive to the 90 members of the house and senate as they assembled In the house cham bers to hear the 3500 word address. And only one new tax the utilities gross earning proposal was specified in the message, while no mention was made of the higher education prob lems, Indicating they were to be kept out of consideration and left entire ly to the board of higher education. S honed Limit Scope Governor Meier emphasized the leg islators should limit consideration of any but emergency measures. Insist ing the calendar be kept clear for the major issues, emphasised both In his call for the session and In address After listing his recommendations he declared "later In the session I shall submit a special message In connec tion with the development of the Bonneville navigation and power pro ject." Tying in the relief for the needy with that of liquor, the executive prefaced his remarks by pointing out that it was 'impossible to estimate how far the federal work would ex tend toward aiding unemployment, but that It was his belief that a sub stantial number of able-bodied men would be removed from relief rolls, Indicating the sum from the state could be therefore reduced. His rec ommendations were: 1. Adoption of the Knox committee plan for liquor control as a basis of the new state liquor act. The report of the committee of 11 was submitted to the governor after three months' study and the report . forwarded to members of the legislature. It recom mends state owned liquor stores. 2. All revenues from the sale of liq uor over operating coats, together with "such other revenues as you may pro vide for unemployment relief, be paid Into the unemployment relief fund until June 30, 1935, or until the re lief emergency has been passed." Big Liquor Revenue Been After the emergency has been past ed, the governor stated the revenue should go to the state and counties on a 35-75 per centage basis. He es timated revenue from liquor sales be tween 11,500,000 to M, 500, 000 a year. S. Gross earnings tax on public utilities. The governor stated that "among other possible available rev enue to aid our distressed schools, I would recommend for your favorable consideration a gross earnings tax on public utilities." He emphasized the need for relief in schools, citing the large delinquency of school warrants. 4. Tax delinquencies and refinanc ing. Declaring that "mounting tax de linquencies have created a financial crisis" the governor urged "creation of a separate state authority, vested with power to aid In the refinancing of state, municipal and local bonds, warrants and other similar evidences of Indebtedness." This authority would be vested with power to bor row from the federal government. Should Eye Truck laws 4. Truck and bus legislation.

Beer said, "to awaken to renewed and greater action against permitting the common public enemy to write laws which will be In their nature and ef fect worse than prohibition itself. Scared legislatures 'At this monfent, the professional drys have scared legislatures, com mittees and newly appointed commis sions out of their wits by repeating arguments definitely destroyed by the will of the people. "Frankly, It would be a criminal mistake to underestimate the force of the power anti Influence over liquor lawmaking that the drys have ar rayed against the wets. "The drys have the staying power and It Is not the time for such great fighters as President Roosevelt, Alfred E. Smith, James A. Farley, Mrs. S&bln and Henry Curran to quit.
