District-Attorney Tinning Is
equally unyielding In his conten

Is not that of Schwartz. As a pro

of the body through any possible
coup or legal action, Tinning re

Calvin Coolidge started in today
on his third year as president,
seemingly satisfied whh his admin
istration's record and quietly per
fecting plans for legislation and
executive action during the' re
mainder of his term.
Two yeara ago Just before
dawn on August 3. 1923. in his
father's modest home at Plymouth,
Vermont Mr. Coolidge took the
oath as president a few hours -after
the death of Warren O. Hard
ing. Looking back over his White
House Incumbency, President Cool
idge, his friends say, feels we. I
satisfied with the turn of events,
the election results last November
increasing his confidence that his
policies were meeting with
proval.
Apparently Mr. Coolidge Is not
disturbed over any of the major
issues which remain to be settled.
Hopeful that anthracite operators
and miners eventually will agree
on a new wage scale he has de
termined not to Interfere with ne
gotiations. He also believes that
an agreement among the powers Is
near on tne vexing Chinese prob
lem, that prospects are bright for
favorable senate action on the
World Court proposal and that the
way is being cleared for enact
ment of
tion bill.
Today the president turned his
attention to politics .the visit to
the summer White House of John
T. Adams, of Iowa, former chair
man of the republican national
affording him an op
portunity to obtain information as
to conditions and prospects,

SALEM, Ore., Aug. 3. Find
ing Itself In a state of uncertainty
today aa to its powers to meet
at this time and adopt textbooks,
the state text book commission
put the problem before Attorney
Ueneral Van Winkle and adjourn
ed until afternoon.
The commission voted, on mo
tion of A. C. Hampton, of Astoria,
to throw the matter or adopting
two-thirds of the text books used
In Oregon open to adoption by
open competition on August 20.
Whether thia procedure Is legal
Is the matter that the attorney
general Is to decide before the
end of the day.
State Superintendent J. A.
Churchill and Milton A. Miller,
who had been elected chairman
of the commission, clashed during
the meeting. Miller Intimated
that Churchill had acted illegally
In preparing state course of
study with no contracts existing
with publishers. Churchill replied
that because of the governor's veto
of a bill empowering the board
of education to enter into con
tracts, there waa no authority
vested In anyone to enter into
contracts at this time, therefore
he could not be charged with pro
ceeding Illegally. Miller said then
that he perhaps shouldn't have
used the word 'illegally," but de
clared that Churchill holds that
the commission has no legal au
thority to meet on August ti),
while the commission apparently
is unanimous in the opinion that
the emergency gives the commis
sion that authority. .
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 8. Prior to
a meeting of the state textbook
commission here today, it was ap
parent that about the only thing
the commission could do to solve
the textbook problem In Oregon
I was to allow the "gentlemen's

with 1 8la,B 8uPerlnl,!nant J. A. Church-
take the place of contracta. . i
The reasons for this are Gover
nor Pierce's veto of a bill passed
by the 1925 legislature empower
ing the state board of education to .
enter into contracta at the . best
possible prices, that fact that the
textbook commission has no ' au
thority under the law to make con
tracts and the impossibility at the
present date to adopt new books
and be able to get them for the
coming school year.
