Assessors Are Guests
of Commercial Club
The Oregon countv assessors, who are
I holding, their annual meeting in the
jcity, were guests last evening of the
Salem commercial club. Judge P. H.
D'Arcy, representing the commercial
club presided. Guests of honor were
I Governor Withyeonibe, .Secretary of
State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay.
The governor spoke in favor of de
veloping the natural resources of Ore-
' gon, but did not see any advantage to
! the state in the federal "government as
suming control of the state's water
powers.
j T. B. Kay was most emphatically of
the opinion that the proposed bonding
l of the state for irrigation bonds was
lall wrong. He cited several instances
where large sums of money had been
invested in irrigation schemes and that
so far, none of them hud shown satis
, factory results. As a member of the
desert land board, hp felt that he had
; information that made bis opinions
worth while.
! The Harnev count v assessor. Mr. Don-
nigan, did not agree with Mr. Kay. Mr.
Donnigan believes that every acre of
land in the central and eastern part of
ithe state would become productive, if
properly irrigated, lie favored bond
ing of the state for irrigation projects.
Captain J. P. Lee, of Klamath coun
ty, a veteran in the assessing busi
ness, rather agreed with Mr. Kay, that
the bonding plan was bad. He also no
ted the fact that the development of
Oreeon was restricted by the large
holdings of the federal government, de
claring that only 17 per cent of the land
in Klamath county was assessed, the re
mainder being in forest reserves or
Indian reservations.
Others who spoke nt the banquet
were Mayor Harley 0. White, Tax Com
missioners Katon and Galloway, assessor
Reed, of Multnomah county and As
sessor Grieve of Jackson county.
The sessions today were devoted to
general discussions relative to the as
sessing of real estate, and the usual
problems that confront an assessor.
Now is the time to come to the aid
of the market that put meat prices
where they belong. The Midget.
Geor and Kreuger, the newly organ
ized company, successor to Calef Bios,
will introduce something new into the
community in the furniture store busi
ness, that of an absolutely cash busi
ness. Mr. Geer, who has been the man
ager of the store since it was establish
ed, lias figured that the cash business
will look better than credit to those
buying in the furniture line, from the
fact that there cart be made a radical
difference in price between cash and
credit.

Civic Club Holds Its i
Ninth Annual Banquet
At the ninth annual banquet of the;
Civics club, held last evening in the
domestic science rooms of the high
school building, the address of the even-'
ing was delivered by Prof. T. H. Gen-;
tie, head of the teachers' training de
partment of the Monmouth Normal
school. He spoke on "The Economic
Value of the Modern Teacher."
In a forceful, capable exposition of
the way a well trained teacher can in
crease the property value of a com
munity, especially in the rural districts,
he cited a ease where i woman teach
er went into a dairy community and so
stimulated the interest of the children
ia dairy products, that within three
years, the value of the out put to the
creamery had fully trebeled. liy mak
ing a daily comparison of the dairy
products from the different farms, she
finally induced the farmers to procure
better stock and to enter into competi
tion with each other in the amount oi
cream delivered.
In another instance, he noted the ease
of a young school teacher, years ago in
the corn belt of Illinois, who by his
scientific training, induced farmers to
follow buftter methods, wherehfy the
value of the land ami its products were
doubled.
Dr. J. X. Smith, president of the club
presided and J. H. Ackeiman, president
of the state norma! school, was toast
master. As president of tho club, Dr. J. X.
Smith was re-elected on nomination of
Dr. W. II. Byrd. Joseph Albert was al
so re-elected vice-president. Following
the usual custom of permitting the sec
retary to name his successor, Kalph D.
Moores was elected, on the nomination
of Rollin K. Page, the retiring secre
tary. The civic club meets once a month for
tho discussion of general topics. The
membership is limited to 25. It was
founded 11 years ago by the principals
of several schools. After a few meet
ings the members decided to take in a
few business and professional men in
order to get a broaded scope on the sub
jects under discussion.
,1. H. Ackeiman, who was state super
intendent at that time, was the founder
of the club. The charter members were
Dr. .1. N. Smith, .1. 11. Ackerman, E. F.
Cnrleton, Dr. V. II. Byrd, J. M. Powers,
former Superintendent of Schools, and
Frank Lovell.
Dr. J. N. Smith has been president of
the club since its organization and now
it becomes just a matter of form to re
elect him each year at the annual ban
quet. The banquet was served by the high
school pupils of the senior high school
under tile direction of Miss liertha Edwards.

work. j
"Why not get a real live up-to-date
writer for our drama J Shakespeare has

class are writing verse both blink and
otherwise, and the play to be presented:
by the seniors this spring will bear the

.The StoreThat Saves You Money,
Pay Cash for Your
Furniture and Save
From 10 to 30
While the policy of this
store in the past has been a
strictly credit house, the new
owners have decided to inau
gurate a policy of cash sales
and the very lowest prices. -We
know we can sell goods
to you cheaper and believe
that we will make more mon
ey than under the old system.
Our advantages will be
your advantages, as we are
going to sell our merchandise
in the future at the lowest
possible cash prices, there
fore enabling us to pay spot
cash for everything we buy
and get the benefit of the low
prices which the manufactur
ers make for cash purchases.
The cash basis eliminates
cost of bookkeeping, collect
ing and loss in bad accounts.
What we save in this reduced
overhead expense and dis
counts for our cash payments
for new goods bought, you
save in lower prices for cash.
