Guests were members of the staff of the bureau of reclamation on the Owyhee project and Nyssa business people. It was a return engagement for the banquet given by N y s s a several months ago and seemed even more delightful as two meet ings make good friends of folk. We enjoyed the hospitality of the Ontario people. Such an event reflects the friendship and cooperation of good neighbors. It is such effort that gave us the first federal money for Owyhee and Vale irrigation projects and it is such spirit that will make them an empire when the last great task of colonization is completed. Delightful repast, music, new and familiar faces—it was a gala gathering. It would be pleasant to have more of them.

Leader, published by Clark Wood, principally be cause The Journal finds them the best tabloids written. Imagine our surprise this week when we looked for our tabloids and found them missing. In their place was a col umn which makes us believe, Mr. Wood had an attack of —let’s cull it spring fever. He threatens to renounce for ever the ‘‘insidious habit of wheezing and devote his at tention to the barnyard golf championship.” He says the ring of steel on steel when he “shoots a double” is worth all the wise-cracks ever cracked. The Digest is all that saved the day. Regardless of what he “threatens,” when he finds a few of his tabloids in The Digest, he agains goes back to patient and persistent mull- ing. Next week we’ll look for the famous tabloids. publican national convention \ypnt on record as favoring a If n f f U DrûCC plank of state rights.

Publicity given the stock-selling scheme may serve to deter similar raids upon unwary investors—at least until the pain of suckers' departed money is dull ed and the lesson of a short cut to easy money is forgotten.—Oregon Voter. That Congress Is cooperating in the nation-wide drive to balance the budget and effect decreases in the salaries in the larger brackets is evidenced by passage of President Hoover’s payless furlough plan for federal employes in the house Monday. Etfimated to save Uncle Sam about 100 million dollars in the fiscal year 1933—it applies for only one year—the furlough plan was made a part of the omnibus economy bill slashing expenditures between 150 million and 175 million dollars. As passed by the house on motion of Representative Mc Duffie of Alabama, chairman of the economy committee, the furlough plan provides that employes earning $1000 or REPUBLICANS FAVOR STATE RIGHTS Taking a definite stand on the prohibition issue, the Re- less a year shall be exempted from the enforced furloughs.
