Ralph Moody, the assistant attorney general serving as special prosecutor In Marion county, has instructed the sheriff to close down all pin ball games and similar de vices. The sheriff promptly began notifying operators that they had five days to get the games out of opera tion. Immediately the old row developed on the question as to whether the recently enacted "game of skill" statute validates pin ball games, or whether they are in validated under the constitutional prohibition of lotter ies. Marion county pin ball operators intimated strongly that they would resist the effort to close them up, giving Moody a chance to make arrests, or otherwise starting court procedure that would put the test to the devices. In the meantime, there is talk among city councilmen here of increasing the fees charged for pin and ball de vices. A survey made by the League of Oregon cities shows that charges here are much lower than in most cities, and it indicates, also, that the take is pretty big. If the pin and ball games survive legal attacks, it seems to us they ought to contribute a generous fee to the public coffers. The council is on the right track when it talks of raising the fees. He'll Do a Good Job EUGENE is fortunate in the selection of Dr. James D. Barnett of the University of Oregon department of political science as a member of the city civil sen-ice commission. Dr. Barnett is remembered by every student who studied political science at Oregon as.."Stiffy." We never knew exactly why, but we suspected, for good reason, that it was because of the things he required of his students and the kind of quizzes he gave. Stiff as were his classes, they were always intensely interesting to the serious, for they were taught by a man who knew what he was talking about. A couple of years ago when drastic changes were proposed in the civil service set-up here, this writer dropped a line to Dr. Barnett, explaining the proposed measures and asking his opinion of them. His reply ' was quick, and pointed the way to the good judgment later shown by the voters of the city when the measures came before them at the polls. It stressed the importance of merit in the selection and advancement of personnel in municipal departments. Eugene is just embarking on a civil service program. This city's experience of a few years ago would indicate that difficult problems arise at such a time. The Wil lamette valley city should make a good start, with Dr. Barnett as one of its civil service commissioners.

THE tendency toward lower age limits for positions un der civil service, and in business and industry gen erally, appears to be meeting with increasing disfavor. A recent instance is that in Cleveland, O., where the city's civil service commission has abandoned its general age limit of 45 years in holding examinations. City officials agreed that it's obviously absurd to con sider that a person reaching 45 automatically becomes less competent to fill a post than one a year or so- young er, or to assume that every man or woman at 45 is ready for the shelf. The ability of a person to perform the duties of an office is not a matter of years, but of training, education, and physical condition. Any arbitrary age limit, such as 45, therefore is utterly without justification. CASCADE CASCADE SUMMIT, Ore.

S. neutrality toward Spain was never Intended to become the fundamental statement of Amer ican doctrine it now Is, It wits written by ITndor-Secretnry ot State Phillips a week ago tpt an entirely different purpose, Mr. Phillips learned through the devious channels, wr'ch only he knows, that certain consuls and diplomats in Spain (not ours) were becoming personally Involved in the revolution. If their Indiscreet efforts . to aid the rebels ever gets out. It will cause their governments some embarrassing moments, but there is little prospect of that now. But Mr. Phillips derided to take his pen in hand to warn our boys over there, particularly consuls, who are not expected to know much anyway, that they should not become Involved In the revolution on one side or the other. He sent his warning as a general confidential memo, e e e Ol'l'OimXIHM President Roosevelt returned from Hyde Park a tew days later and began looking over the files showing what Phillips had done during his absence. At that moment the French were threatening to make the situation embarrassing for us. Reports were coming from Paris that they were going to invite us to Join a neutrality pact. Newsmen here started, putting the heat on the state department ror a statement. Until then, the V. S. had man aged to say nothing very well. It had not officially recognised that there was a rebellion, and thus had been avoided calling the rebels "revolutionists." a phrase which might bounce back hard If the rebels win. When the president came upon Phillips' confidential Instructions to the consuls, he noted the gen eral terms, then the date.- It was August 7, before the French pressure started, and therefore could not be considered a rebuff to the French feelers. Always thankful for manna, Mr. Roose velt seized this tidbit from above, had it issued indirectly, as the statement of American position, thereby sliding out from under innumerable diplomatic complica tions. a a a TAX MAGIC The artful Alberta schema of conjuring money has drawn at tention from the political scien tists here who wonder why, with all the rare notions now preva lent among Americans, no Amer ican thought ot that one. The nub ot It Is this: The Srovincial government Issues a ollar bill, and any person who holds It longer than two weeks must put a one-cent tax stamp on it. When the dollar has ac cumulated stamp taxes amount ing to 11.04, the provincial gov ernment will cash it for one good dollar. Offhand It appears to be as good as anything Houdlni ever did, but. as in all Houdlni tricks. the rabbit must come from some where. The dollar must get its value somewhere. The provincial government has no gold, no re serves, nothing except a reputation,- which can easily be lost If its obligations exceed Its ability to collect taxes. The only value the dollar has, therefore, is the expectation that some day It will have collected enough taxes to pay for It, and the tax, of course, is to come from the people. But this par ticular tax is not only futuristic but voluntary. Consequently no one wants the dollar. The tear of being unable to pass It on Is great and no one wants to pay the cumulative one-cent tax which would ultimately give it a real value. Thus, it still appears to be Impossible to make something out ot nothing. a a RKPARTEE Sharpest campaign debate .to date was conducted sotto voce at the recent Lotus club dinner to Charley Michelson In New York. About 250 were present to honor the great, political ghost, many of them republicans. Charles Francis Coe, president of the club, presided. In Intro ducing democratic national chair man, Jim Farley, Mr. Coe re ferred to him as the postmaster general. Mr. Farley, standing nearby, stage-whispered, "Not now, not now," and Coe, side remarked back: "Yes, you still are." Far ley hesitated a moment, then In sisted: "Well, I'm oft the pay "If vou tlon'l slop sitiiuliii(!, Ihis ininule, I'll nsk your father to net n switch, mul then iiutybc you'll smile." roll," whereupon Coe responded in a voice loud enough to be heard many feet away: VWell, then you are the only democrat who is." Mr Vilrlev MiiKlied ileeitleit to let that one slide by, but- the crowd whooped. KOt'ND A government official with ex traordinary sources guessed among friends the other day that the missing heir apparent In 1940 (in case Mr. Roosevelt Is re-elected) will be Harry Hop kins. The speaker was not Mr. Hopkins. News of Oregon Purtluud Chamber of Commerce today. R. II. Klpp, manugtr ot the luttd and development department of the chamber, said "each day many families arrive with only a few dollars and of necessity are forced to npply tor relief within a few days." lie commented that "It has become necessary to attempt to get the tails before the imddlc woatern public." Klpp also said his office has received "heavy Inquiry from prospective settlers with means to buy farm lands and become settled before winter." M EACH AM, Ore., Aug. 13 (JP) This little Blue mountain town In eastern Oregon, usually on will' ter weather tables as one of -the west's cold spots, Ignored such mundane things as thermometer readiugs today. Instead the topic was coyotes and the problems of birth control. Both were atttcked in discus sions held by two-score govern ment trappers of Ortgoa and V ashington who opened a two day session today. Also In at tendance were game, forest, na tional pork and county officials. "Coyotes are getting fat since sheep came into this country, and the well-fed females are be coming more fertile," W. W. Hush of the U. S. biological sur vey said. "Formerly coyotes delivered titters of lour to five pups, but we know of one coyote which re cently gave birth to 17 and two others which brought 14 hungry pups each. "Their increasing fertility, to gether with the withdrawal of considerable financial aid by counties to combat predatory animals, has greatly increased the coyote menace." Forest officials said cougars and other members of the wild cat family reap a huge toll of domestic and wild life but that coyotes offer by far the greatest problem.
