happy with the methods sug
gested for raising money. How
ever, as yet no one has come
forth with a better method with
the exception of a sales tax,
which would be a most precari

we still could not have the
money immediately to cover the
present deficit. And sales tax

money wouldn't be available
until after the general election
in '56 unless a special election
was called, and then the Gover
nor would have to call a special
session of the legislature.
However the general feeling is
that the tax committee will rec
ommend a sales tax be put on the
'56 ballot and that the tax pro
gram being presented now is just
a stop-gap for the next two years
and will give all the people of
Oregon a chance to express their
wishes as to whether'or not they
want a sales tax.
This week we have had num
erous visitors from Jackson coun
ty, among them our friends Mrs.
H. P. Bosworth Jr. and Mrs.
Frank Fairweather, representing
the League of Women Voters in
regard to the meat bill. Also here
and sitting with the press . was
Olive Starcher. "Dime" Flynn
and Frank Van Dyke have been
in and out this week too, and
being kept busy in the Oregon
Bar Association office here in
the State House is Attorney Rob
ert Duncan. Wednesday we had
a real V.I.P., Baron Quaranta de
San Severino, the Italian Con
sul for Northwest and Alaska
who is stationed at Seattle, Wash
He was escorted to the front of
the House and introduced, then
was invited to the podium for
the morning session.
Topping the social calendar
this week, Governor and Mrs
Patterson have issued invitations
to a series of three at-home par
ties honoring the Legislators and
their wives! we are bidden for
Friday evening. Monday evening
Representative Elliott whipped
up a large surprise party for his
pretty wife, Ethel. There were
20 of us present. Thursday Mabel
Colgan, who is acting as Repre
sentative Cook's secretary, gave
a luncheon in her lovely country
home for 16 of the secretaries
whose desks are near Represent
tative Cook's. Mrs. Cook drove
down from Portland for the
party.
After spending a night at home
in our beautiful Rogue Valley
and being with our friends, we
are impatient for this legislative
session to end.

Oyerwatering Bad
For African Violets
Columbus, O. (U.P.) Having
trouble getting your African
violets to bloom?
The trouble probably is that
the flowers are watered too
$uch.
Kennard S. Nelson, an Ohio
State university floriculturist,
says that extensive tests show
that overwatering the flower is
probably the greatest cause of
bloom failure.
African violets should be
watered only when the soil feels
dry, he said, and then from
either above or below. But don't
wet the leaves.
