'Smokey The Bear' Tells Forest Fire Dangers (Continued From Pag One) value of preservation from fir and reforestation. He pointed to the contributions of such groups as the county courts, garden clubs and federated women's clubs. The Keep Oregon Green Assn. was founded in 1942. soon after the disastrous Tillamook Bum. and Weisendanger has been its execu tive secretary since. He observed that "need was felt for a year- around program for the purpose of forest fire - prevention against man-mane fires and since the as sociation's inception, 3s other statea hav adopted similar pro grams. A 30-year veteran of service wilh the U S. Forest Service, the speaker summarily added that "each year we are holding our own In preventing fires and our hope is that the message of the association will help in the prevention." tion to dismiss the complaint la filed and if it is overruled by the judge, it is followed by a demur rer. Either, if sustained by the judge, might end the matter in this court. The plaintiff in th action Richmond would be given op portunity to argue against the dis missal motion and demurrer. In his action against Thompson, at torney Richmond is represented by a law partner. Paul Geddes, who presumably would present t b e arguments. t Thompson's brief to support his motion and demurrer is just about as brief as Richmond's complaint one line more than a legal-size page. Richmond's complaint seeks to remove Thompson from office on the grounds that th D.A. "did and does usurp, intrude into, and un lawfully hold and exercise the public office of district attorney of the state of Oregon for the county of Douglas." The complaint is in the nature of a writ of quo war ranto which freely translated means "by what right do you hold office." To this Thompson points out: "The writ of quo warranto is ancient. From it ha developed a proceeding designated as an infor mation for a quo warranto and subsequently modern statutes have provided for an action in the na ture of a quo warranto. "Th United States Supreme Court early and late has ruled that quo warranto proceedings cannot be maintained except at the instance of the government and with the authority of the gov ernment. It must be dismissed if prosecuted by an individual un less there rs a statute delegating to the individual the right to pro ceed." After citing legal authorities in support of this contention, Thomp son states that Oregon laws "pro vide that the action in the nature of a quo warranto proceedings shall be commenced and prosecu ted by the district attorney of the district where the same is triable." He also cites an Oregon Supreme Court decision in whirh Justice Wolverton "enunciated the rule' that in th absence of statutory I regulations to the contrary, the common-law rule still prevails re quiring the proceedings (quo war-1 ranto action) to be instituted in the name of the state or sover eign power by the attorney gen eral or other prosecuting officer; and a private citizen will not be allowed to file the information in his own name, and of his owo violation " Registration Set For Pre-School Age Children A schedule of the elementary pre school registration dates for the Roseburg schools has been le- leasea.

The labor bill would increase maximum weekly jobless benefits from $35 to 340, and extend cover age to employers of one person. The changes, with other liberal ized provisions, would mean total annual benefit payments of $25. 200.000 a year, or SI .800.000 more than now is being paid out. The employer contribution rate, now running from .3 to 3 per cent of payrolls, wot'ld be jumped to a scale of .9 to 2.7 per cent. Employers, who now contribute more than 17 millions a year, would find their tax bill jumped to $25,200,000. The net effect of the bill would be a $3,908,000 annual excess of income over cost, which would build up the shrinking unemploy ment trust fund. Employers and Labor agreed to the employer contnoution rates in the subcommittee's compromise. The Senate Judiciary Commit tee scheduled its next hearing for 7:30 p m. Wednesday, when it hopes to question members of th Multnomah County Grand Jury. This jury severely criticized Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton' hand ling of the Portland vie probe and recommended that it be turned over to someone else. Sen. Warren GUI (R), Lebanon, chairman of th committee, told the Senate that "it is not our intent" to investigate vice condi tions in Portland. He said the committee is study ing whether there should he any changes in th laws affecting grand juries. The Legislature got tome good news when the stale Tax Com mission reported that the general fund surplus will amount to $36. 800,000 at the end of the hiennium on July 1. This means that th Legislature has $4,100,000 more than it thought it had. Th Sonata passed and sent to the governor a bill to make it illegal for a party line telephone user to fail to give up the Une when somebody else needs it in an emergency. The maximum penalty would be a year in jad and $500 line. Anyone who falsely claimed an emergency to get th bne would be subject to th sam penalty. The Joint Wavs and Meana Sub committee on Buildings plans to announce Tuesday night what it will recommend be spent on higher education and mstitution buildings. Education matters are rapidly coming to a head. The Senate Education Commit tee, having made many amend ments, ptans to approve Tuesday the House-passed bill to fore school district consolidation. On Wednesday, th Senate will decide whether to accept the House compromise of the "key district" bill to provide a new formula for distribution of basic school funds. Administration Favorable To Natural Gas Bill WASHINGTON t The Eisen hower administration T u a d a y came out in favor of th new Har-rii-O'Hara natural gas bill pro vided a couple of changea are made allowing tighter federal su pervision over prices. Charles H. Kendall. Office of Defense Mobilization (ODM gen eral counsel, gave the adminis tration view aa lead-off witness in Hous Commerce Committee hearings on th controversial legislation. Chairman Harris (D Ark) said Kendall spoke for both the ODM and th Budget Bureau, legislative voice of th White House. A bill to free gas producers from direct federal price control got through Congress last year but ran into a veto front Presi dent Eisenhower. Eisenhower said he approved th general aims, of th measure but criticized what he called "arrogant" lobbying tactics in connection with it. Th new measure takes a dif ferent tack, providing for control by the Federal Power Commis sion but making "market value" the standard for prices and bar ring utility-typ price formulas. The legislation was introduced jointly by Harris and Rep. O'Hara (R-Minn). Kendall backed the Harris O'Hara measure generally and said it has provided for "addi tional consumer protection." However, he said two changes should be mad to bring the bill in line with the Eisenhower pro gram. Kendall recommended: 1. That the FPC be given more authority to "review price in creases resulting from definite pricing clauses in existing con tracts when such increases do more than reflect additional or in creased taxes." 2. That the provision in the O'Hara-Harris bill barring the FPC from considering producer costs in determining reasonable market price be stricken from the bill. ' Harris described the measure as aimed at relieving "heavy bur dens" placed on gas producers and the FPC by the Supreme Court'a 1934 decision saying the FPC should regulate prices of gas sold in interstate commerce.
