OLD OfflCERS WERE ELECTED Mrs. Lola Baldwin Asked for Rigger Appropriation for (lie Girls' In dustrial School Road Building Cosily. In the closing of its throe-day ses sion in Portland yesterday the Asso elation of County Judges and Com missioners adopted the report of the resolutions committee, recommend ing to the next legislative assembly the repeal of the widows' pension act ana the substitution of the old method of administering relief through the county boards. The resolution was incorporated in a lengthy list of resolutions con sidered by the association, and was aiscussea at length before final ac tion was taken. It was the sense of the association that there were too many inconsis tencies in the present law and that it should either be repealed or effec tively amended. The vote to repeal the law was unanimous. Following is me text ot tne resolution: 'Whereas, The experience of the members of the association with the administration of the widows' pen sion law nas demonstrated that it has failed to alleviate the conditions it was proposed to remedy, but has been expensive and burdensome, and its ends could be more effectively ac complished under the former Bvstein of county relief, which Is maintained In various counties of the state, therefore be It 'Resolved. That Chanter 42. Laws or 1813, as amended by chapter 90, Laws of 1915, commonly known as the widows peension act, be re pealed." Mrs. Lola O. Baldwin spoke for the girls' industrial school, making a pica for greater appropriations, so that the girls could be properly cared for. Judge H. S. Anderson, of Clacka mas County, gave figures to show what the pavement laid by that county with Its own equipment had cost. At the morning seseslon the mem bers of the association defeated a resolution to set aside for the use of the slate in road construction the county's part of the tax money de rived from taxation of automobiles. The proposition met with stern dis approval by the members of the as sociation. They agreed that some provision should lie made for Inten sive road building, but they voiced a sharp protest against waiving their right to the tax money. It voted to propose legislation In corporating all county farms under one state farm, thereby eliminating unnecessary expense and duplication of administration. At the conclusion of the consider ation of all resolutions before tbe association the election of officers WIDOWS' PENSION LAW ENDANGERED I ILIIUIUI ui LUULII MRS.- JENNIE BROWN IS RE TAIXEK AS GUARDIAN OF HER MOTHER, SIRS. MARY A. F1XD- I.KWTHfi CASE WAS HEARD HERE TODAY. I HELD MONEY WAS SQUANDERED Judge Hamilton Held That the Pro. ceediiigs of Lower Court Were Regular nnd Complied , Willi the Luw. in the Circuit Court here this morning, Judge J. W. Hamilton ren dered a decree In which he sustained the verdict of Judge R. W. Mnrsters, In the county court, in the action brought by Mrs. Mary A. Finclloy to have her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Brown, removed as guardian of her estate. The case at issue originated sev eral months ago when Mrs.' Ilrown appeared In tho county court nnd ask that she be, appointed guardian of her mother. She alleged at the time of making the application that Mrs. Fiiulloy was incompetent nnd Incapable ot managing her personal affairs. Tho records of the court show that an order was issued on the same day declaring Airs. Ilrown guardian of her mother, and placing about $1 900 of the latter's money In ner control. . A few weeks Inter. Mrs. Flndlnv became 'dissatisfied with the ar rangement nnd riled a petition in the county court asking that hor daughter be removed as guardian of her estate. She claimed that Mrs. Brown possessed an Irritable temper. and that Iho funds left by her late husband were being buunndered without due regard for the wishes of the petitioner. It was also al leged by Mrs. Flndlcy that her daughter was appointed guardian without due process of law, and that she was not given an oppor tunity to he heard by the court. At the time the hearing was held be- loro Judge Marstors ho held that the previous proceedings were regu lar, nnd denied the petition filed by Mrs. Flndley. Mrs. Flndley then appealed the case to the Circuit Court, with the result that tho arguments wore taken up before Judge Hamilton this morn ing. Attorney Albert Abraham, who appeared on behalf of the petitioner. claimed that Mrs. Brown's appoint ment as guardian by Judge Marstors was illegal for the reason that the statute plainly provided that all per sons charged with being Incompe tent had a right to be heard. In the case at Issue. Attorney Abraham al- logect this right had been denied bv the courts. Attorney Abraham fur ther contended that the funds of Mrs. Flndley wore being squandered by her daughter and Hint she could account for only a few hundred dol lars at the present time. Out of the total funds left Mrs. Flndley by her late husband, Attorney Abraham said .Mrs. Ilrown had loaned $225 to Mr. Brown, while more than $400 had been expended In repairing nnd Im proving the guardian's home. It was also charged that. Mrs. Ilrown had refused to allow Mrs. Flndley to receive if, a month, which had been sent her regularly by a niece csmmg in the east. During tho course of the argu ments this morning, Attorney Abra ham also charged that Mrs. Brown disregarded her legal rights when she called Judge Hamilton by tele phone and talked to him regarding the cane. Attorney Abraham said this procedure on the part of Mrs. Brown should bo taken Into con sideration by tho court. After considering tho evidence. which was taken some time ago, and hearing the argument!-, of the attor neys this mornin.,. Judge Hamilton sustained the verdict of Judge Ala ra ters in the county court and retained Mrs. Brown as guardian of her mother. Attorney O. P. Coihow ap peared for Mrs. Brown.

I'EOPLE HERE MUST AWAKEN OR EUGENE WILL ACQUIRE THE GATEWAY TO MARSH FIELD AND OTHER COOS COUNTY POINTS, TOURIST TRAVEL IS IMPORTANT Itosehing Commercial Club Is Asked to Participate In Ilig jm Roads Meeting to Bo Held In Eugene Soon. That Douglas County must wake up or It will lose tho proposed state highway front Rosel urg to 'Myrtle Point, Is claimed by R. K. Smith, who has been attending soveral high way meetings in Portland recentl). According to Mr. Smith, It is proposed to build a high front Eu gene lo Atnrnh field by wav of Flor ence. The slate and Federal offi cials have agreed upon, this road ns It Is to be built by stale and Fed eral funds. In the proposed list of state highways nono Is designated belweon Uoschurg ana Coos Hay. Unless these plans are changed It moans that tho new const highway will , turn off at Eugene and Unit tourist travel between Portland nnd San Francisco will be routed bv Eit gono, Florence Marsh fluid and un down the const to Sun Francisco. Such a proposed road vitally af fects Itosebui-g and Douglas County In two ways. First, It means that Douglas County will not participate In tho tourist travel and tourist trndo between Portland and Han Francisco. Second, It moans that Douglas County must maintain tho road betwoen Roseburg und Myrtle Point to tho county line. It also means that Eugene will bo the mil let for Coos Hay automobile travel. H Is understood that tho highway routes which have been designated by state and Federal officials are not iinni, nut aro subject to revision. II will, however, tako concerted action by nil the people of Douglas County to nave mis proposed h uhwnv changed to tho route between Roso- bttrg nnd Alyrtlo Point. If It Is nos- slblo to make this change, then the cost of building and maintaining tho road between Uoschurg and .Myrtle Point running by way of Camas Val ley will bo built and maintained by tho stale and Federal Government, and all that burden of cxponso will bo. lilted from tho shoulders of the taxpaylng public or Douglas County.
