"I was just wondering if I could get some more to eat frbm the federal surplus commodi ties," he said. "Yes, I'll give you an order. Then you can go down and get some," the girl answered. "Where is the building?" he asked. When she told him, the Jovial man broke down In tenrs. "I'm sorry," he sobbed. "But I built that building." State officials are wondering about the potential effectiveness of the newly organized Oregon Taxpayers' federation, headed by Claude Buchanan, former Ben ton county luijlslator. There havu been many such organizations before, but they haven't succeeded in reducing taxes. Many state leaders hon estly hope the new one will ac complish its aim, In spite of the fact that there is considerable agitation for more taxes so the state could give substantial aid to tile schools. Buchanan sold the federation wants better government for less money. And, speaking of taxes, the state tax commission passed out reminders today that Oregonlans will have to pay about 25 per cent more Income taxes this year, the first payment due April 1. .

MAY CAUSE RACE IN NAVY BUILDING Naval Program Now Before Congress Causing Great Concern Says Jap Official By Relman Morln Tokyo, Jan. 12. IP) Expan sion of the United States navy would precipitate building race with Japan, newspapers predicted and a Japanese navy spokesman hinted today. One newspaper called expansion "the American menace." "Naturally the Japanese navy feels great concern," the navy spokesman said of the 81,300, 000,000 American naval pro gram now before congress. "Apparently It is designed to maintain the United States' sup erior ratio even after lapse of the Washington treaty." This treaty, which expired Jan. 1, 1837, fixed the United States' naval ratio to Japan at S to 8. Asked If he meant that the Japanese navy would be in creased, he said, "You can im agine what action would take place." Implications Seen The spokesman said eon construction of 52,000-ton United States, warships, men tioned as a possible early de velopment by Admiral Harold lR. Stark, chief of U. S. naval I operations, would "concern all naval powers," He commented also that as signment of Admiral Claude Charles Bloch to the Hawaiian district "may be a measure to strengthen the United States' navy against Japan." Admiral Bloch has just concluded two years as commander-in-chief of the United States fleet. Reappearance of the Ameri can proposal for naval Im provements at the Island of Guam was characterized by the spokesman as "not graceful attitude," In view of the con gress' previous rejection of it At Thompson Creek Southern Oregon College of Education, Ashland, January 12.
