The county court saved $14,000 last year on roads, making possible a substantial fund this year for emer gency relief employment without added cost to the tax payer. The county court adopted a budget that reduced taxes in the county an average of 30 per cent, 20.7 per cent in county tax alone—third in per cent of reduction in 36 counties of Oregon.

Drorbaugh Dies in Portland Mrs. Veal Chosen Garden Club Head Dates for the Columbia county fair have been set for September 1 to 3, according to Clyde M. Watson, secretary. There being no county appro priation for the fair this year, it will be necessary, Mr. Watson states, to lower the premiums to be paid. These premiums must be met with the state appropriation, inadequate for the usual fair. By confining the cash prizes to coun ty exhibits only it is hoped that enough interest will be created to make a creditable showing. Copies of the revised premium list are in the hands of the prin ter, Mr. Watson says, and as soon as they are off the press will be mailed out. POMONA FAVORS FREEING ISLANDS Resolutions favoring indepen- dence of the Philippine islands in five years, with import duties on their products immediately, and recommending that no more bul letins or other documents be printed at public expense than are asked for by signed letters, were passed by Columbia County Po mona grange at the meeting in St. Helens Saturday. Warren grange was hostess. Vernonia grange reported a gain of 16 in membership. Sev- eral granges had a loss, due to death and to members moving away. The worthy state master, R. C. Glover, was present. The over seer, J. F. Becker, presided in the absence of Warren Young, mas- ter, who was ill. The fifth degree was exempli- fied by a class of 11. Attending from Vernonia were Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Condit, Mr. and Mrs. S. V. Malmsten, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Condit, Mrs. Phil Melis, Mrs. A. J. Kostur, Mrs. L. A. Rogers, Mrs. Michener, Mr. Doughit, E. Treharne and H. E. McGraw. Clean-up Day Is To Be Tomorrow Mott Tells C. of C. about Racketeers Corporation Commissioner Describes Finance Methods People of the state have been robbed of from 20 to 25 million dollars in the past five years by financial racketeers, asserted James W. Mott, state corporation commissioner and candidate for nomination on the republican tick et as congressman, at a special meeting of the chamber of com merce Wednesday. There are two general classes of financial racketeering, Mr. Mott explained, insolvent corpora tions organized for that kind of business, and solvent corpora tions taken over by irresponsible men who scuttle them. Financial racketeering has been cleaned out entirely in the state within the past year, Mr. Mott declared, all the guilty parties either being under indictment, in vestigation, or already convicted. All building and loan associations now operating are doing a le- gitimate business, he said. McGraw Commended The speaker commended H. E. McGraw, candidate for the legis- lature, stating that as a fellow member in the 1931 legislature he found McGraw always in fa vor of sound fundamental legis lation and against unsound. Mr. Mott also praised Mr. McGraw for upholding Gov. Mei er’s plan for tax reduction. Recall Denounced Recall of the county court was denounced by Judd Greenman. “If reducing the county levy over 20 per cent in one year is general inefficiency, let’s have more of that kind of inefficiency,” he de clared. He asserted the county court to be as capable and hon- est a court as there is in the state. High School Girls Sing A quartet of high school girls, Velma Veal, Helen Brimmer, Charleen George and June Mich ener, sang two numbers accomp anied ‘by Miss Amy Hughes. Nelle Green rendered a tap dance, also accompanied by Miss Hughes. E. F. Messing presided in the absence of President J. E. Kerr. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, May 18. H. E. Mc Graw, in charge of the program, is arranging for a number of prominent speakers. Tommorrow has been Bet aside by the city council as clean-up day, and Earl Smith, street sup erintendent, will be in charge of activities. Tenants and owners are urgent ly requested to clean their prem ises thoroughly and place the refuse on their parkings, where it will be picked up by trucks and hauled away free. There will be no pick-ups from alleys or back yards, Mr. Smith says. He requests the cooperation of everybody in accomplishing a Wm. Pringle, Sr., To Run thorough clean-up. The fire mar Wm.
