Economy THE nation's taxpayers I Donulation will be lucky if the current ana lonn coming economy talk in Washington is anything more than i'HJb hahhlfi and sham. : There is a considerable tqres for non-defense activities. It is absurdity to continue Vihotr nutlava for agencies set ud in depression times, when there is no longer a depression and employment is steadily rising. That absurdity is heightened when there is ter rific pressure for expenditure for defense. But congressmen are congressmen, and the sternest advocate of economy always wants tne otner lenow to ao the economizing. The same goes for people back home, who put the pressure on their congressmen for allocations. Another factor in the national capital which lessens the chances for economy is government bureaus. Rather than quitting when their use fulness is no longer evident, the bureaucrats always try to get more power and more spending "authority. Right now they are all busy trying to show where their activity has something to do with defense, in order to justify their getting slices of the big defense spending pie. President Roosevelt, an extravagant spender of the public money, likes to taunt congress on the economy ques tion. The president sicks his bureaus into the spending field, spreads government largess over large areas, and then asks congress to make suggestions for the cuts. He has recently indicated it was the responsibility of the peo ple in the house and senate to make spending reductions. But the president has never shown any disposition to let the people in the house and senate take the lead- in other fields of government endeavor. A display of leader ship on his part in the matter of reducing non-defense spending would make a most profound Impression and would do the country a lot of good. Whale of a Sensation SCIENCE, proclaims a breathless newspaper article, has at last affirmed that a whale really could have swal lowed Jonah. - i It seems that a Dr. Eugene Maximilian Karl Gelling, professor of pharmacology, having little to do-one dull day, crawled through the gullet of a (dead) whale. He found it slimy, but definitely roomy. If this unpalatable feat had been performed by .Joe Doakesy fisherman, it would have proved just as much about the Jonah-capacity of whales. But it wouldn't have justified that delectable headline, "Science says ; Anyway, it's nice to think that in these days, which are grim and getting grimmer by the clock, somebody has the time and inclination to go crawling into whales' gullets. Oregon Auto Registration Expected to Top Record Thirty Lx years ago, on May 19, 1905, Oregon started regis tering motor vehicles when the secretary of state issued regis tration No. 1 to Helrous Thomp son, of Eugene. At the end of that year, a total of 218 vehicles was registered in this state. On the 36th anniversary of that date, May 19 of this year, there were 381,150 motor , ve hicles registered in Oregon and by the end of this year, regis tration is expected to exceed 425,000, according to Earl Snell, secretary of state. Registration last year v as just 187 vehicles short of 400,000 and to date, the number, of vehicles licensed in Oregon is 8 per cent ahead of the registration for the same date a year ago. The Oregon legislative assem bly of 1905 adopted an act re quiring that owners of motor vehicles in this state must reg ister each vehicle with the sec retary of state, paying a fee of $3. This fee was not an annual license, but was good for am Portland Eyed for Army Supply Bate '". : PORTLAND, May 21 m Portland learned from one' of three visiting generals yester day that It Is being considered for an army supply base. Brig.-Gen. John. C. H. Let, commander for the west coast embarkment points, made the disclosure. He was accompanied by Major General E. B. Gregory, chief officer of the quartermas ter corps. Lieut. Gen. Delos C. Emmons, chief of the general headquar ters air force, inspected Port land's new airbasa and con tinued on to other northwest air ports.

It was not un til 1911 that annual registra tion of motor vehicles was re quired. In 1905, the owner received no license plate, but was re quired to display the number of his certificate on his vehicle. The numerals could be painted on, or the owner could purchase a number plate somewhat simi lar to the dates nnw in uc. Records of the descriptions filed for automobiles registered dur ing 1805 indicate that many of them were tiller-steered and some were even home made. There were 32 cars registered the lirst dav the law was nrwr. ative in Oreeon. -1 2 from Port. land, 10 from Salem, 4 from ugene. 3 from Grants Pass and 1 each from Woodburn, Arlington and Silverton. Oregon at present has 313,859 private vehicles registered, or one such vehicle for every 3.4 nersons llvine in the tat r for motor vehicle registrations for the first four months of this year amounted to $2,608,943. Price Rise Doubted By Chamber Expert PORTLAND, May 21 (AP) The government will not have to take control of food and clothing prices, Arthur B. Gun narson, Washington D. C. said here yesterday Prices will' not skyrocket, the commodity expert of the U. S. chamber of commerce said, citing that living costs rose only 2.6 per cent in the last 1V4 years. He warned, however, that a continued increase in wages and taxes might upset present calculations. A judge gives criminals lots of time but lie always has some left for playing golf ' . ..

Mary Baker Eddy, The praises of others may be of use in teaching us, not what we are, but what we ought to be. Hare. Praise, like gold and dia monds, owes its value only to its scarcity. It becomes cheap as it becomes vulgar, and will no longer raise expectation or animate enterprise. Samuel Johnson. As the Greek said, many men know how to flatter; few know how to praise. Wendell Phillips. It takes a great deal of grace to be able to bear praise. Cen sure seldom does us much hurt. Spurgeon. Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and ac tions, but those who kindly reprove thy faults. Socrates.

Pt UrraljyJ By PaULMaLLON WASHINGTON, May 21 Those congressmen and other officials who have been consulted by Mr. Roosevelt tho past ton days havo apparently all come away with tho impres sion ho has been working flint long on a substitute plnn for convoying to go much further than convoying. A fuirly wen- rounded up consensus of their opinion has suggested ho wanted to sweep the seas clear of sub marines and raiders. The recent new trend of offi cial remarks substantiates these deductions. Mr. Roosevelt had broadly likened the German blockade to plrucy. His stuto secretary, Mr. Hull, followed with a speech emphasizing tho next German threat would be directed toward domination of the seas. Details of how this sea de fense line is to bo built up in the new Roosevelt plan are sup posed to Involve further exten sion of air and surface patrols based on experiments conducted by the head of the Atlantic fleet. These experiments have alreudy carried tho American flag within sight of Dakar. NAZI THREAT State Secretary Hull's general ized picture of trado disruption to be expected from a nuzi vic tory has been focusscd down in grim detail by his assistant Adolf Boric In a local extempor aneous speech which was sparse ly reported. From Mr. Bcrle's speech it is evident ho expects first a nuzi repudiation of our gold and IU value, but he did not think this would bo tho worst. We could discard gold without danger. If you read at the breakfast table that all the gold at Fort Knox had been swallowed up, you would be surprised but would probably continue your break fast. More serious would be Ger many's challenge to our prices. He thought heavy taxes would be necessary to subsidize cotton exports, for example. We would be required to take manufactur ed goods from the German dom inated world as payment .for an of the goods they wanted, and tho resultant unemployment In our factories would also have to be financed by the govern ment, he thought. Hitler promised In Moln Kampf he could throw this coun try into revolution by these manipulating trade processes plus propaganda, according to Bcrle. TAX DICKERING The strango backing and fill ing of the administration on Its own tax bill has now been clarified by the latest testimony before tho house ways and means committee, both on and off tho record . mostly off. It was Mr. Roosevelt himself who led the opposition to his own treasury bill, at the Instance of Messrs. Henderson and Eccles. This opposition led to the new dealers getting together with the treasury on a halfway com promise as represented in the new excess profits proposal by "Wlmt do you menn, it looks like n cheap copy? Tlml'a the lmt you were wearing when you ciimc into the store I' Treasury Assistant John L. Sulll vun. The compromise will hit the largo established corporations hardest. Jim Farley s coca cola. for instance. If It earned 15 per cent the last 4 years, would lie exempt only ou 10 per cent. Everything it made abuvo lu per cent would be taxed SO to TU per cent The scrap between tho now dealers has encouraged tho com mittee to indulgi) ilsvll along the same lines. The bill may not be whipped into final slutpo for 3 or 4 weeks. NAZI FUNDS Commerce Secretary Jesse Junes has picked up evi dence that a nazl agent tried to buy tho British control In the Urown and Williamson Tobacco company when tho British were getting reudy to sell. This evi dence largely Inspired tho gov ernment policy of lending the British money on their Invest ments here Instead of lotting them liquidate. The nazls apparently have large sums of money In this country accumulating from tlitlr Invest ments. As Uiay cannot buy pro ducts from us, the money Is bo lievcti by government officials to be going largely Into propa ganda. As a result pressure for freezing German funds In this country is being exerted upon the state department anew by some other government depart ments.
