USE STATE AUTOS
ON BUSINESS ONLY
WORKERS WARNED
Heads of State Depart
ments, Institutions Held
Accountable for Conduct
of Employes With Autos
SALEM. Dec. 3. (AP) State em
ployes who continue to use state
owned automobiles for other than of'
flclal business will ba summarily dis
charged under an order lasued by
Oovernor Martin and the state board
of control Monday.
Heads of state departments and In
stitutions will be held accountable
for the conduct of their employes as
far as automobile operations are con
cerned. Oovernor Martin charged that
house bill at the recent legislative
serslon, providing for pooling of
state-owned cars, was defeated by
lobbying state officials.
Can Make Own Rules
"The action of these officials does
not prevent this board from making
Its own rules and regulations cover
ing state-owned cars," Governor Mar
tin declared
The suggestion that pooling of cars
within the departments be made a
part of the order was considered
The "pooling" bill as submitted to
the legislature would have provided
that all state cars be kept In one gar-
nge In each city where state Institu
tions or departments were located,
and that they be requisitioned out.
It was expected this plan would
have kept employes from using the
cars for anything other than strictly
business purposes, and at the same
time would have saved the state con
alderable money each year-
Letters containing the order of the
board will be sent to all state activi
ties later In the week..
Golfer Used Stale Car
State Treasurer Hoi man declared he
found one state-owned car at Long
view, Waali., while Governor Martin
said he discovered a car at the Wav
erly golf course In Portland, Indicat
ing the cars were being used for
pleasure purposes.
Records submitted to the board
showed that the state now 'owned 410
passenger automobiles, exclusive of
those operated by the state police de
partment. The board approved a bid of 60.
100 for the construction of the girls'
dormitory at the state school for the
blind. The state appropriated (50.000
for the purpose, and a grant of $31,
P50 had been authorized by the fed
eral government.
A total of ft()0,000 of state flax
funds was ordered tranaferred to the
iteneral fund to apply on a loan. The
obligation, which was $340,8S6 on
November 1, now staiula at 260,666.
The board also authorized the pur
chase of 10 new automobiles for the
state highway department.

EXPERTS PONDER
COSTS OF PEACE
What Would Country Be
Willing To Pay To Stay
Out Of Future Conflicts,
Is Question Before U. S.
By Nathan Robertson
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. JFh What
price. In dollars and cents, la America
willing '.o pay to stay out of the wars
of the future?
This t one of the many questions
confronting experts aa the day draws
close when congres will turn next
month to debate a permanent neu
trality policy.
On the basis of statisticians' figures,
the cost might range anywhere from
nothing to billions, depending on the
type of policy adopted and the scope
of the war the country tried to shun.
These figures are based on the trade
which would be lost If the United
States curbed or shut off exports to
belligerents.
Would Forget Money
Some advocates of strict neutrality
."ay that monetary costs should not
be considered! that peace at any
price is cheaper than war. Others
would lay down s policy designed to
keep us out of war yet deal aa soft a
blow as possible to the country's
economy.
Three broad proposals for a perma
nent policy have been advanced.
Some peace advocates would cut off
all trade with all belligerents, or all
trade with aggressors.
Members of the senate munitions
committee would embargo all trade
in munitions or essentia) war mater
ials, but permit normal trade In other
commodities.
The administration seems to some
observers to be headed toward a pol
icy of embargoing munitions proper,
hut applying quotas on war mater
ials to limit exports to normal.
Suppose another war war should
break out, Involving the same na
tions that were In the last one? How
would the various plans affect Ameri
can trade?
Would Lose Trade
Under the first, the great bulk of
all American foreign trade would be
sacrificed, in the so-called normal
year of 1926 thla amounted to $4,
808.000.000 or 10 per cont of the
country's total production of mov
able goods. Last year total exports
were about $2,200,000,000.
The second plan, If conflntd to the
commodities on which the adminis
tration Is now centering attention,
would cut normal trode approximate
ly a billion dollars In a year such as
1026. But If It included cotton, the
total would be close to $2,000,000,000.
Under the third policy the cost
would be little. If applied before
trade expanded to the war demand.
It would merely keep exports at their
normal level.
Many champions of the various
plans fear, however, that even If nor
mal trade was not seriously curtailed
the clamor would be terrific when
domestic producers found they could
not sell freely In a world market
where prices wore akyrocketing.

BELOW Red Bluff Ilea the Orland
Irrigation district, where water la
enabling tha land to produce real
crops.
Some day the Kennett dam, near
Redding, will be built, and then there
will be more water to enable the land
In the Sacramento valley to produce
more crops. Water la everything down
here.
The Sacramento valley la about the
only part of California that has never
seen a boom. It will see one some
day. And will have plenty on the
ball to back It up.
Keep your eye on Northern Cali
fornia. IN THE Orland irrigation district
they're already growing fine
oranges, and are planting a lot of
new groves with the expectation of
growing a lot more fine oranges later
on.
The district la still too new to have
much experience as to volume of pro
duction to be expected, but It has a
big advantage over Southern Cali
fornia In the way of original cost of
land.
Prices have been Jacked up pretty
high down there, but the Jacking up
process hasn't got this far up as yet.
THEY have a habit here of plant
ing olive trees as windbreaks
around the orange groves, and on
these olive trees, especially near Corn
ing, they grow some of the finest
ollvea In the world. T
If you ever ate a raw olive, straight
off tha tree, youll probably see the
wisdom of this practice. ONCE la
about as often as a cold north wind
will ever try taking a bite out of a
raw olive.
After that. It will detour around a
couple of counties rather than repeat
the experience.
THESE orange groves look pretty
nice, but It remains to be seen
whether oranges can be grown In
California without an abundant sup
ply of hot air. They have plenty of
that commodltly In Southern Cali
fornia, and alwaya have had, out
these people up here are blood broth
ers to us of Southern Oregon and
are Inclined to turn a cold and skep
tical eye on the hot air artists. Time
will tell what effect thla will have.
BERKELEY and the ferry.
A miracle happens. For the
first time tn a fairly long and check
ered career, this writer hits the ferry
time right on the nose, driving onto
the boat not more than a couple of
minutes after It ties up in the slip.
Beat that one If you think you
can.
OFF to the left, spidery and frail
In the evening light, la the
framework of the great bridge, which
will soon revolutionize traffic around
tha bay.
Already, It almost seems, the hoarse,
booming voices of the ferry boats,
speaking to each other across the
waters, have a plaintive note, as If
they know their days sre numbered.
TO THE rlghtTtooklng more like a
battleship than a battleship looks
like Itself, la Alcatras Island, home
address of Al Capone and touted as
America's hardest prison to get out
of. J
The food la good, they say. although
plain, and the furnishings are simple
but substantial, and all commuters
agree that the life there la quiet and
unexciting and therefore good for the
nerves.
But the Job Is confining, with no
vacations. Probably better stay away.
MARKET street, and the Market
street crowds, which are not
quite like any other crowda in Amer
ica. Big business has moved off to
one side and left Market street, more
or less, to Itself, but the crowds still
gather there at night.
Window shopping Is cheap and a
lot of fun for what It costs, and you
can still do a lot of window shopping
on Market street. Besides, traffic
there is thicker and tougher than
anywhere else in the west, and peo
ple Just naturally LOVE to plunge
in where traffic la thickest and
toughest.
HIS uoee flattened against the
glass, a Market street window
shopper offers one of the shrewdest
observations this writer ha heard
lately.
"If it wtan't for taxes." he says,
"all this stuff could be priced whole
lot lower than It Is. But with all the
taxes that are loaded on It has to
b kept higher than we can afford
to pay."
Xf EVERYBODY could Just reallae

Big Farm 5old.
CANBY, Ore . Dec. 8 (AP) A
real estate firm here aald one or
the largest land deals In recent
months resulted In the purchase of
the Richard A Wright farm near
Maeksburg by Mr. and Mrs A. B
Junor of Tacomi- Wash. The pnee

definite budget hopes of bis own.

anced, tn 1937. This hope probably
will remain private.
The only completely hopeless men
seen around Washington lately were
the delegates who went to the Lon
don naval conference.
whst. la In their minds Is that the
conference will certainly fall to
bridge the gap between wnai mo
Japanese want and what the United
Rr.nrj anri British are willing to
give. There Is every possibility that
the irreconcilable diirerences w
opinion are going to result In con
siderable tll-feellng.
The main sub-rosa nuroose of our
delegation apparently Is to see that
the United States is not neia ro
Rnoosibie for creatine any Ul-feeW
lng. There is a more menacing dan
ger of that than any outsider
knows.
During the preliminary discus
sions, the British would one day
see the Japanese and listen to what
they had to say. Two or three days
later, they wovtld see our people,
agree with us that parity could not
be accorded to the Japanese, and
then go back and let the Japanese
understand It was Impossible to
get the Americans to agree.
Certain United States officials
hinted to the British gently that
the matter was too serious for any
diplomatic Joking like that.
There is little basic difference of
opinion between Washington and
London regarding far eastern policy.
But British interests In the far east
are far more extensive than ours.
The president la known to have
discussed the bonus recently with
several advisers who called at Warm
Springs. There Is no question about
him vetoing any bill which falls to
carry its own method of raising the
money outside the budget.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau Is
understood to be looking Into the
possibilities of payment on a dis
count basis, as through baby bonds
If the interest rate is high enough,
they might be sold at par.
Smartest military men here diag
nose Mussolini's biggest problem in
northern Ethiopia as a search for
someone to fight. II Duce Is calling
for spectacular victories to help him
at home, but his troops have diffi

The only time the Ethiopians crawi
out of their caves Is at night, for
harassing forays, which bring little
glory, but plenty of annoyance.
