Judge Declares
Condemnation
Suit Mistrial
A circuit court trial which be
gan last Wednesday afternoon end
ed suddenly Monday when Judge
Carl E. Wimberly declared a mis
trial and dismissed the jury.
The case is one involving com
pensation for property condemned
for public purposes. Plaintiff is the
Slate Highway Dept., and the de
fendants are Mr. and Mrs, J. M.
Housley. - , , - :
The judge, noting In his order
that he is "unable to continue,"
set the case over to the February
term. .
Despite the i'h days In which the
trial was under way, jorora had
heard only a part of the testimony.
Much of the time the jury was
ushered out of the courtroom while
attorneys argued points of law.
Various rulings, motions and ob
jections cropped up, ar.d there
were snarp exchanges neiween uie
judge and the defense attorneys.
The judge's action ended on an
other bitter note when defense at
torneys Dwight L, Schawb and
Jonathan U, Newman of Portland
filed written objections to the mis
trial order. They claim, the judge
reiusea 10 auuw urni uujecuuog
in the courtroom.
The property invol"Cd in the
case lies near the Roseburf air
port. About 13 acres of the Hous
ley property was used for a sec-
lion -of reiocatea mgnway w. wo
agreement has been reached on
what would be just compensation
for the property, Tne netenaanis
allege, among other things, that
the property has been badly dam
aged because the -nature of the
highway constuction limits access
to the remaining property. The
Housleys own about 322 acres in
the same general area. '
Schmeer Advises
Cautious Route
For Businessmen
A local bank manager, forecast
ing the business year 1855 for bene
fit of the Roseburg Chamber of
Commerce Monday noon, chose a
cautious route-in explaining his
advices in the Civic Room of the
Umipqua Hotel. '
ti. ri. senmeer, manager ot tne
Roseburg branch of the ,U. S. Na
tional Bank, told members at a
forum luncheon that it takea the
attitude of "reserved optimism"
in predicting a good year.-
"Prices will remain stable," he
said, adding that a person must
watch his business closely because
a badly managed business may
not be saved by runaway prices."
He said it's hard to compare
what may come this year with
what has nappenect in the years
past. "It would be comparing it
with Rom of the (Jnest, years we've
ever seen. There's been nothing
like It (the recent years) for in
come, yet we Insist that next year
be better in order for it to be
good." ' .
The recovery of business in the
last six months of 1954 will carry
over into this year. Schmeer cau

City To Repeal
RR Ordinances
Machinery to rescind two or
dinances on the city books which
regulate switching by Southern Pa
cific Co. at street crossings was
started Monday night by the Rose
burg City Council.
Each of the ordinances post a
limit on the time that the railroad
may block traffic at any crossing.
One, passed Dec. 27, restricts the
railroad to five minutes; the oth
er, enacted years ago, puts the lim
it at 10 minutes.
Acting City Atty. James Rich
mond was Instructed to draw un
an ordinance repealing the two
laws.
The action followed Espee's
promise of inactivity at oak ana
Washington streets at three peak
rush traffic hours during the day:
7:30 to 8:30 a.m.; noon to 1 p.m.;
and 4:45 to 5:45 p.m.
City Manager George Farrell
said Ihe times may have to b
changed later when the State High
way Commission delivers its long
awaited study on Roseburg traf
fic. Farrell explained that traffic
counts' taken during the survey
may show peak rushes at slightly
different hours than those offered
by the railroad.
A new ordinance to restrict
switching during the peak hours
may be enacted when the traffic
report is received.

Conductor Johnny Meissner
Retires From SP Se rvice
By LAURA OLSON
Staff Writer, . News-Ravltw '
Conductor R! W. (Johnny) Meis
sner retired Monday. He had been
a Southern Pacific employe-for JT
years. , : '
The SP family in the Roseburg
area gathered in the local .depot at
1 p.m. to honor Johnny. They got
him and his wife to come to the
depot on the pretext that some
one in .San Francisco was calling.
The ruse worked.
Meissner is a quiet, soft-spoken
man of 65 years. The accolades of
his bosses and fellow workers were
accepted by him in a quiet man
ner. He didn't have much to say
when calls came for "speech."
Johnny hired out as a student
brakeman for the SP Dec. 4, 1917,
in Roseburg. 'He worked his way
up through the trainmen ranks. At
time of retirement, Meissner was
conductor for Run 329. (329 is the
passenger train which .runs be
tween Roseburg and Ashland). Be
cause the train leaves Roseburg
at 3 a.m. and returns the following
midnight, most of Johnny's work
was at night. ' '
One thing he and his wife do
look forward to is more time to
travel during the day. Both said
Monday they planned to do some
of the travel "by car."
The former conductor witnessed
the switchover when the Natron
Cutoff over the Cascades curtailed
oassenser service through Doug
las County. He recalled Monday,
the time in 1918 when, as a young
brakeman for Conductor Sam- Mc
Connel, he helped maintain order
as a orivate railroad car burned
near Turner while the train sped
along. No one was hurt. He was
conductor in December, 1949, when
17 cars were derailed into a ditch
near Wilbur "at 2 a.m. in the
morning."
As a conductor it was Meissner's
job to see to the safety of train

machines are illegal." But he
maintained that the lodge should
be allowed to have them on the
premises until "they are found il
legal." "No machine should be licensed
if not legal," he declared, "but the
council shouldn't close the ma
chines while investigating them."
The other opinion came from the
Rev. Ellsworth Tilton, pastor of
the First Methodist Church, who
advised the council that "its prov
ince is to act as it sees fit."
The council saw fit to keep the
pinballs under wraps for the time
being. A motion by Councilman
Sidney C. Moon Jr. to re-open dis
cussion died for lack of a second
ing motion. - -
City Manager George Farrell di
vulged during the discussion that
application for renewal of the li
censes by the distributors have
been made at the city recorder's
office. But no action was taken an
the applications.

That Johnny Meissner success
fully carried out his duties was
evidenced in the remarks of Train
master Ted Bernard .Monday.
'Men like you have made my
work easy," Bernard said. "You've
done us a swell job, Johnny,
Thanks for your fine work as con
ductor." The Meissners now plan to spend
some time doing "as I d please,"
according to Johnny, at their home

3 Per Cent Sales Tax
Measure Is Introduced
(Continued from Page One)
Legislature, when the opposition
was so heavy that the bill was de
feated. The committee will hold another
hearing Wednesday.
L The bill, by Sen. Rudie Wilhelm,
rortiana nepuDiican, would cnange
Portland State Extension Center
into a downtown college, with au
thority to grant degrees. It would
be effective next September.
Members of the State Board ot
Higher Education told, the comit
tee they would like some small
changes In the bill, and Wilhelm
agreed.
The only objection came from
F. Ellis Johnson, Salem, who said
the state should expand existing
Institutions instead of creating new
ones.
Portland State now has 2.340 stu
dents. A single state liquor adminis
trator, to replace the ihree-man
liquor commission, will be asked
in a bill prepared by Sen. Robert
D. Holmes, Gearhart Democrat.
The administrator would get $12,-
000 a year.
The battle over power started
In, the House Committee on State
and Federal Affairs, which met to
consider a memorial to ask the
federal government to build John
Day Dam, either itself or through
a partnership plan.
Democrats objected to this pro
posal, endorsed by Gov. Paul L
Patterson. They want the partner
ship part left out.
The committee will hold another
hearing on the subject Wednesday,
On Friday, it will consider me
morials asking construction of Cou
gar and Green Peter dams in the
Willamette Valley.

Wheels Of Legislature
Start Rolling In Salem
(Continued On Page 2 Col. 1) "
it will be used as political dyna
mite against the controlling party.
On the other hand if more money
is raised it is pretty likely that
there will be wide-spread griping
among the citizenry because no
one likes to pay more taxes. And
that griping is going to be skilfully
directed against the party in pow
er, if possible. So it looks as though
there will be rough sledding in the
near future for the unfortunate
people who are responsible for try
ing to steer our state along a more
troubled course.
The sentiment generally express
ed around here is not against a
sales tax. But it is against a legis
latively sponsored sales tax. Main
ly because the people have reject
ed one five times. It is pretty
much the opinion of legislators that
the people who stand to gain by a
sound state budget are the N ones
who should sponsor a state sales
tax and that therein lies the only
chance for successfully promoting
one in this state. Somehow it is
always rather difficult to interest
any one in the idea of paying
more' taxes sufficiently to rouse
him into collecting names on a pe
tition on street corners ,
Time will tell and I suppose
someone may come along and pull
a rabbit out of the hat and salvage
Oregon and incidentally simplify
the political future of a good
many concerned people.
