Copper production was high at the beginning of 1930 and during the year demand dropped alarmingly. Thte result was that copper producers found theftnselvea with tremendous sur plus stocks which they were forced to Bell when it was possible to sell at all at profitless prices. The western states will be especially interested in the establishment of raining o a sound basis. In several of those states mining is the principal industry, 'employing more workers and paying more in taxes than any other. ; A.metal depression always Jias a direct bearing upon all other business within the state. When mining does come back to nor mal the states should have learned at least one lesson from the experience of the papt year. That is, to do everything that is possible to treat this jreat and necessary industry fairly. It that is done, it will go a long way toward helping mining weather un favorable periods in future years. Money diverted from ury must be replaced. a state treas It is for this reason that a proposed Oregon Legislative bill, similar to one which the California voters smothered last year ,to make available half of all state insurance premium taxes for fire and police pensions is extremely dangerous. The premium tax is an ultimate cost to the thrifty who carry insurance and pay the premiums. Under this bill these policyholders would provide a pension fund that would equally beney holders. fit The bill is discriminatory in that it provides that the pension funds would d be on the basis of the amount of insurance written in any city. A large part of all Oregon in surance is written in Portland, and much of it covers property or risks in other sections of the state. As a consequence, the bill would force many businesses or individuals to contribute to the cost of pensions in that city a service for which they would receive nothing. This is a good example of a type of. unsound legislative proposal, that may appear in. other states ,that would make one, part of the population help pay the bills for another part.

After the banquet the fun continued, in fact it became a scream when an order carried that the Lionesses should answer the roll call of their husbands by a roar. About all that can be said, there was quite a notic-abl- e difference between the king of beasts and his gentler companion. The Uleladies and Marion Summers entertained the crowd with songs, responding to numerous encores. Roy Bishop was saved from the Ukeladies fierceness by his fellow Lions after he had attempted to beat time to their song at a moment' which was most tense. . The result was a laughing, singing group. For Roy's monkey had to sing himself business he to the accompaniment of the ukes. Roy made a mess of it and was ordered to take his seat amid roars of laughter. Up to this time it was a merry crowd brim full of fun and good cheer but now another treat of a little different nature was in store. Robert Calderwood, chairman of the program committee, introduced Lion W. W. Richards of Garland, as the speaker of the evening. Mr. Richards took for his subject, "Community Development" and used a quartett of angles or principles upon which, as he termed it, this development should consist, hon-- esty, vision, work and group coopera ustThinkin by Charles S.Kinnison At the Lincoln Memorial At Lincoln's memorial, silent, I stood In tribute to him who has done so much good.

"" ; Recently, in San Francisco, Paul Shoup, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad system, told a gathering of contractors that the railroads in evltably would be compelled, in view of present conditions, to include in their work transportation of passeng ers and freight by air, by highway with motors, and by water. To. the credit of the railroad men it must be said that they have done more to en courage air traffic, .establishing their numerous air lines, than any other agency except the United States Post- office.

Upon these subjects the speaker had gathered a wealth of information, us ing illustrative examples to clinch his truths. Some startling bits of infor mation was given out by the speaker. He said a certain group of men had attached a slip of paper to a dollar bill and asked each one that received it to' write his name on it and pass it . At the end of a week more than 200 names were signed to the bill, showing that this dollar bill had paid two hundred dollars of debts. Then he brought home still more startling facts by stating that a cer tain community in the month of July sent away $500 to mail order houses, in the December just past, $900 and in January of this year $700. If this money had been kept at home, and the speaker proved conclusively that it could buy as much at home, if not more, than it could away. Think of its circulation value, which would run into the hundreds of thousands of dol lars, and especially at , this time-- if spent, in the payment of obligations at home and merchandise see what benefit could be derived by the home leopje by it Mir.

He pointed out that if we "follow the easy road of centralisation of authority," we may "discover too lafe that our liberties have disappeared." Centralisation of authority which results inevitably in the spread of bureaucrady and the rise of govern ment by commission has already cap tured many of our liberties. The old idea of government, by which each state was a separate entity ,has been warped ouj of shape. Washington has shown an increasing tendency to dic- ' tate to all parts of the nation. We pay' for this in two ways in less freedom and in higher taxes. Thirty years ago one family out of 22 lived at the expense of the government Today the ratio is one out of 11. ! The present congress is being be sieged to more than an ordinary degree with proposals that would create new departments, new expenses, new bureaucrats. Governor Roosevelt is timely when he says we may "discover too late that our liberties-hav- e disap- peared." . I 0:0-- -- REVISING CRIMINAL CODES V monton.
