Short, state Re publican committee chairman, has released a statement of principles of the Republican party in Oregon. According, to Short, the statement was prepared as a means of setting forth the be liefs of the party in this state. The statement was drafted by a group of Republicans from all sections of Oregon and was submitted to each county committee for comment and revisions. Don Stathos, Jack son County Republican Cen tral committee chairman, at tended the meetings. The statement says the Re publican party of Oregon be lieves: , Eleven Points 1. That the foundation of good government is the par ticipation therein by eacty in dividual citizen as well as the honesty, integrity and as sumption of political respon sibility by governmental lead' ers, public servants and po litical parties under our two party system. 2. That the rights, value, importance and political be liefs of an individual citizen are not determined by race, color, creed, religion, position in life, age, wealth or the lack of it, and further that the welfare of the individual is dependent on the welfare of all, and the welfare of all is dependent on the welfare of the individual. 3. That the local govern ment municipal, county and state should be strengthen ed and that the government should not do for people what the people can better do for themselves. 4. That responsible labor unions are a permanent, val ued and desirable p.art of our society. 5. That electrical power must be developed to the full est practical extent to meet the expanding needs of Ore gon, and further believes that such development should be caried out by those best qual ified, having constant and due regard to the fullest bene ficial utilization of other na tural resources. 6. That the citizens and government of Oregon should do all things necessary to provide wider educational op portunities to our citizens and to maintain consistently high academic standards in our educational facilities. 'Climate' Cited 7. That j o b opportunities and progress in Oregon will best be achieved by a politi cal and economic climate which . encourages expansion of payrolls, agriculture, busi ness and industry. . 8. That the function of a political party is to seek the election of qualified, persons to public office and' to sup port policies which will serve the welfare of all citizens of Oregon. 9. It will support the free enterprise system and further believes that government ex penditures should be main tained at a level consistent with security, necessary ser vices and efficient govern ment. 10. That the fullest bene ficial use should be made of our natural resources con sistent with good conserva tion practices. 11. That attempts to classi fy Oregonians as "little peo ple," "little business," "big business," "labor," "manage ment," '"private power," "public power," "conserva tionists, "haves," "have nots," etc. and attempts to create conflicts between groups of citizens, are contrary to tra ditional American principles. Held For Navy Following Trial Held in the county jail for naval authorities is Fred Lee Walters Jr., 20, of 89 Vashti Way, who received a six months suspended sentence in district court Thursday on a charge of making a false statement in writing to pro cure benefit. Walters received a suspend ed sentence in Josephine coun ty on a similar charge earlier last week. Judge James Main suspend ed the second sentence on condition that Walters be re turned to naval authorities. He turned himself in to sher if's deputies May 8 saying he was absent without leave from the navy. Full restitution of the checks has been made, ac cording to the court.

Its value is merely a small fraction of what it would be if it were accompanied by the others of the set. For that reason I saw no point in paying $20 for Vol. II of Poe's "Tales of the Gro tesque and Arabesque," even though it was in good condi tion. The likelihood of ever finding Vol. I was incredibly remote. But a friend of mine looked at it differently.- As soon as he had estab lished it was the first issue of the first edition, published at Philadelphia, 1840 he could tell it was because page 213 was misnumbered as page 231 he bought it wihout hesi tancy. Some five months later he showed me both Vol. II and Vol. I. The latter was just as clean looking as the other. Both books had the original paper labels, and while their cloth board bindings were scuffed and worn with time, they were definitely in what would be termed sound con dition. "It really wasn't difficult to do," he explained. "Sets of the Tales sell failry often for from $35 to $75. Usually the price is brought down by the poor condition of one of the volumes. So I just started looking for a set in which the poor volume was Vol. II. I found one that I got for $40." Since he had no difficulty in selling his unwanted Vol. II for $5, his cannibalized set had cost him only $55. As for the value of such a set, a price of over $100 could be easily realized. The num ber of Poe's admirers is grow ing. And since there were only 750 of those sets printed in 1840, or which only a small but unknown number remain, their value can't go anywhere but up. $3 GOLD COIN MORE VALUABLE AS ORNAMENT Tom and a customer were discussing the sale of five $3 gold pieces when I arrived. "Two of these are dupli cates,' the customer said. "And if I take them all for cash I should get something off on the price." "Okay," Tom said. "I'll knock off ten per cent and you can have the lot for $135 if you'll just tell me what you do with them." "Very well," the customer said. "I make them Into these." He pulled a bracelet out of his pocket and laid it on the counter. It consisted of a rough gold band from which clanked three of the $3 pieces he had bought earlier. I hefted the bracelet. It wasn't any heavier than some others I've seen, but it cer tainly did look a whale of a lot richer. It's a deal." Tom gave him the coins and took the bills. PAID REPLY CARD LEGACY WORTH OVER $1,000 Some of the most valuable items for stamp collectors are to be found in paid reply pos tal cards, the kind that are generally used in mail-order selling. I became aware of this re cently when a friend, whose father had been in the mail order business, came across a file of his father's sales litera ture. - - In addition to copies of all sales letters his firm had used from 1890 to 1912, it also con tained a variety of paid reply postal cards complete with printed sales messages. The old man did quite well, apparently, but his efforts had one beneficial effect for his heirs that he had not antici pated. The value of his unintended collection of paid reply postal cards was well in excess of $1,000. One of the more important items was a card he had used in 1893. The cards, a grayish white in color, were printed with a stamp in blue. The stamps consisted of a liberty head in profile surrounded by an oval band in . the lower part of which appeared the price two cents. The stamps, were identical except for the wording in the upper half of the band. On the one, the wording was "Message Card," on the other, "Reply Card." The message card carried a printed message on one side, The reply card gas printed on both sides. Value of the two together, unused, was $150.
