WILL BE MADE PUBLIC Names of Those With a "Yellow Ktrwik" Will He Published aa Soon as Adjutant-General Checks the List. SALEM, Or., Oct. 8. Seven hund red and three names appear on Ore gon's otYicial slacker list, which has been obtained by George A. White, adjutant-general of the state, from the federal government. The list Is being checked with all available state records to remove any possi bility of injustice when the names are released for information of the public. "Oregon's roll of dishonor" was the term Mr. While applied to tho long roster of the state's recorded draft dodgers and their place of resi dence in the stale. "But It Is only half the site of Oregon's roll of honor, those Oregonians who gave their lives In battle, and it is only a small fraction of one per cent of the Oregonians who were eligible for service and who responded enthusi astically," Bald General White. "While I have no Information on the number of recorded slackers in other states. I will make the prediction that Oregon has one of the smallest if not the smallest slacker list in the country." While stating that he could not give out the list until every possible precaution had been taken against error, Mr. White said that three Ore gon counties show a clean slate. They are Benton, Lincoln and Wheeler. Every case in those three counties has been cleaned up. Portland, probably because of Its heavy population, leads the slacker list with a total of 291 men. Out side of Portland the state Is divided Into counties in the slacker distribu tion, with Clatsop county leading. There are 54 slackers in Clatsop county. Most of the names are for eign. Klamath county stands second with a total of 28 draft dodgers. Umatilla with 25 and Baker county with 23 occupy third and fourth places, while Coos is fifth with 20. Josephine county records show only one man. Tillamook. Sherman. Hood River and Grant two each and Jefferson county three.

CONGESTION IS ACUTE Kfflcleiicy of Various lH'uirtmeiit of County Government L lleing liii)Miire by Lack of ttpco to Conduct HuttiiieKM. IlocauRo of the rapidly Increasing amount of county husinosa and the necemsity for additional room, the county court has at Itutt been forced to secure outside offices for the coun ty srhool superintendent and has leased the old office rooms at t he Douglas hotel, to which place the office equipment will be moved In n few days. The vacated rooms will bo used by the district attorney, who Is now occupying the office with the county road mauler. The county court has had thin change In mind for some time be cause of the lack of room In which to conduct grand Jury proceedings. The district attorney in his county work Is required to have room for a sten ographer and for files containing records of legal work. This does not require a great deal of space but it Is more than Is available at the pres ent time. The work of the county road mas ter has been so maertally increased during the past few years that the present space Is entirely Inadequate for the proper functioning of the of fice. This Is a work that cannot be well handled In a small space. I'lenty of room and light Is needed in order that the engineers may have room for their draughting tables, while the great number of maps, blue prints, books, etc., require a great deal of space, In addition to that needed for tho proper storage of in struments for surveying purposes. Three and four surveyors are con stantly at work In one sinnll office. and often times during a rush rea son additional help Is secured. The office then becomes exceedingly crowdrd and It Is absolutely essen tial that additional room be provided If efficient work Is to be continued. The county nchool superintendent is also handicapped by the lack of room. This morning when a Newa- Heview correspondent visited the of fice, two men representing school dis tricts were arguing in a loud voice regarding certain school affairs, tho county superintendent was talking with a man in Grants I'ass ovor long distance telephone, a school super visor was pounding out a letter on a noisy typewriter, another supervisor was receiving a report from an in structor, and In the midst of all this hubbub a prospective teacher was endeavoring to write answers to an examination required of all teachers employed in the county. All of this was being carried on In a room muc'i smaller than the average living room of the ordinary home. Aside from this room In which three officers work, there Is a small closet for the storage of books and mnterials. This Is kept overflowing at all times. In the new quarters the couniy school superintendent will have two large rooms, and will be able to have quiet for those taking examinations, while a good place will be avuilable for Interviews. There will alfto be ample space for the filing cabinets, book shelves, etc. Into this room will be moved the files and office materials of the dlH trict attorney, whose stenographer. Miss Harriet Haldenian, will have charge of the office. The room she now occupies Is used also for the storage of materials belonging to th" roadmaster who will be given the roo nishe vacates. This will tempor ily relieve the concern ion In the up per part of the building. All of the other offices are greatly handicapped for lack of space, but no remedy is in sight at the present time. Pickett to Serve One Year In Pen Changing his plea from not guilty to guilty. W. J. Pltkett was late yes terday afternoon sentenced to serve one year in tbe state penitentiary for failure to support his minor children. Pickett was arrested sev eral months ago at Camp Funston where he had enlisted In the army. He bad abandoned his wife and two children, his wife securing a dlvnrc v The court ordered him te pay a sum of money esch month for the support of his children but Instead of doing this he left the state, and enlisted In the army. He would have been un moleated except for his action in writing frequent letters to his wife telling her that the officers were unshle to effect bis return. After changing bis plea. Judge Hamilton gave him the maximum sentence, and he was taken to Salem this morning by Deputy Sheriff Kenneth Wll KIT PIUM i.AMATlOX. (By Asaoclated Preas.) WICHITA. Kansas, Oct. 9. The Wheat Growers' association 4 of the 1'nllcd States, with a membership of 70,000 in Kan- shb, Oklahoma, Texas, Nvbras- ka and South Dakota, issued a proclamation to Its members urging them to retrain from Belling any wheat after 5 p. ru. October 25, until such time as the price of good wheat was raised tot $3 per bushel at the growers terminal market. Quine. Before leaving his army uni form was taken from him, and a wire seut to the commander of hla com pany notifying him of the court's sentence. It is quite probable that Pickett will be discharged from the army without honor. FI VEltAli THIS AFTElt.VOO The body of Mrs. Mary Davidson arrived In Roseburg this morning from Olymplii.

More Pay For Election Officers Kializing that the wages paid Judges and clerks of election Is entirely too low to secure com petent officers, the county court instructed the county clerk to allow each of these election off I- clals $1 for meals In addition 4 to the $3 ordered by law. The law requires that the election officials remain with the ballot box. This sometimes necessl- tateg considerable expense In procuring meuls and at the present high wage paid for all daunt ot work and the cost of food tho election officials would 4 4 decline to serve unions some 4 better Inducement should be 4 made. IteJiift unable to make 4 4 change in the rate of pay, 4 which Is fixed by law, the court decided to pay for the meals of 4 ih officials, and tho clerk Is 4 Instructed to add $t for each day or fraction of day served on election boards. This will give each person serving at election 4 $4 instead of S3, as formerly, and more efficient Judges and 4 clerks will be obtained. T INTEREST LAW Objections to Proposed 5 Per Cent Interest Limit Bill Stated. WOULD KILL MARKET mmtoni are Careful and Conserva tive Hut are Seeking. Host Hates of Interest In Order to Bring ltotunta on tho Investment. Hy John L. Ktheridgw, (President. Morris Bros. Inc..) As one who has handled millions of investors money. 1 perhaps am in a position to say a word of wamlnr as to the effect of the interest amend ment that is to be voted udoo bv that people of Oregon In November. This measure is to place a coiiBtltutlontl limit upon the rate of interest that may be charged In this state. Tha rate 1b to be limited to 5 nercent for contract money, which includes bonds, mortgages and notes, and to 4 percent for money borrowed with out specifying the rate by contract. a targe part or the funds I hava handled Is that of Oregon investors. These investors are conservative and do not hunt tbe highest rate of In terest return. They look more to se curity, and are satisfied with a reas onable return. A considerable pro portion or tnetr investments have been In Oregon municipal bonds, which my company purchased and sold to them. Yet In order to attract their investment. It was necessary that thoBO Oregon municipal bonds yield an interest return that would compare with the return yielded by municipal bonds Issued In other states, or by government bonds. If Oregon bonds were permitted to yield only 5 percent. these Investors would purchase the bonds of muni cipalities outside of Oregon, or of tho United States Government, which yiold from 5 and 1-2 up to as high as 7 1-2 percent, depending upon conditions of maturity. It Is obvious that If the Interest rate Is limited, hy constitution, to 5 percent, that there would he no market for Oregon bonds. Oregon Investors would pur chase honds'of other states. Large suras are Invested by Ore gon Investors in o'her forms of ob ligations lndur rials, mor'.rugca, business loins and banking. The aim ot these Investors is to obtain a re turn somewhat larger than is ob tainable from municipal or govern ment bonds. Were those Investors) denied the right to receive more than 6 perceno Interest on such loans, or Investments made in Oregon, they would purchase securities from other statos. The effect ot this 5 percent limita tion would be to withdraw all In vestments ifrom Oreajon. Not only would Oregon I Investors Tefuse to loan or Invest In tbe state, but the outside Investors would Bhun Oregon as a plague. The result would be Industry, agriculture and develop ment In the state would languish. With this withdrawal nf capital, pros perity would cease, and be replaced by bard times, poverty and want. The Investors would not suffer, as they could obtain their return from other stutes, but the farmers, busi ness men, manufacturers and home buyers would Buffer rulnoua losses. I.agor would suffer most of all, through the cessation of employ ment and would be Inevitable when cupltnl was withdrawn from industry anil public work. The flow of money for Investment ennnot be controlled by law. All that It can accomplish Is to shut money out of the state which adopts a fool ish limitation. The net result of the SMte of Oregon adopting this amend ment would be to shut money nut of the state, stifle prosperity, throttle Industry, destroy enterprise and im poverish labor. As a measure It Is iiilrldul, and It should be voted down hy a henvy majority. CHARLES CURTIS ' Sanator Charlta Curtia of Kanaas has baen nominated In the Republics,!, primary fer r sltetisn. J
