Convention Authorized The Executive
Committee To Recommend
Improved Primary Law
By an overwhelming majority of 30
to 6 votes the Republican Stat Cen
tral Committee, at its biennial meet
ing, elected Walter L. Tooze, Jr., of
McMinnville its chairman, for the reg
ular term. The meeting was held at
the Imperial Hotel, Portland on Sat
urday last.
A. H. Lea, secretary of the Oregon
State fair, was the. opposing candidate
amcr is said to have represented a
group of politicians including Senator
Stanfield, O. H. Fithian and oth
ers. From this ngle the result is
considered a victory for the Williams
Tongue element of the party.
The keynote of the convention was
harmony and the members of the par
ty were urged to work fox the united
support of the Republican nominees in
'every precinct of the stte. Open con
sideration was not accorded the pos
sible entrance of candidates other
than the regular nominees into the
gubernatorial race.
While it is known that a number of
the delegates are not content with the
present primary Jaw no action was
taken with regard to it other than to
pass the following resolution: "Where
as several Republican county central
committees of this state have resolved
against the abuses of the primary law
in order that party organizations and
principles be preserved and the pri
mary law be improved to conform
more nearly to American ideals of rep
resentative government, and
Whereas, any improvements or
amendments should require and re
ceive careful study, exhaustive re
search, investigation and deliberation
and no hasty legislation should be
considered or recommended, therefore
be it resolved that the Executive com
mittee be and hereby is instructed to
investigate he abuses of said primary
law, elecion and registration law of
the state and make a detailed report
to Ithis committee with recommenda

The chairman was authorized to ap
point a committee of 20 members to
have full charge and control of the
campaign.

LOCAL LEGION SENDS
DELEGATES TO DALLES
Chautauqua Sets Aside Program of
July Fourth in Honor of
Legion
William R. Logus, S. A. Mead and
I. M. Mullien were chosen at the reg
ular meeting of the American Legion
Monday night to represent the local
post at the state convention to be
held at The Dalles beginning July 27.
Phil Hammond, S. McDonald and
Lloyd Harding were chosen alternates.
July 4th will be Legion Day at the

men in uniform will be admitted
free. Lt.-Col. W. S. Guilbert, state
chaplain of the American Legion, will
deliver the address of the day at 11:00
o'clock.
A basket picnic luncheon will be
served by the Auxiliary.
The committee in charge of the
dnce given at the opening of Hawley
Park reported a clear profit of fllO,
which gives the local post a neat bal
ance on the right side of the ledger.
The Oregon City post has grown
both in paid-up membership and in
finances during the past six months
and much credit for this showing is
due the officers.
There will be no other meeting of
the Local Legion until its scheduled
meeting night in September, unless it
is found necessary to call a special
meeting, it was decided.

Nation-wide Strike
Of Railway Men Looms
With a cut of seven cents an hour
for railway shop mechanics and nine
cents for freight carmen, amounting
to $60,000,000 annually, ondered by
the United States Railway Board, a
nation-wide strike by railroad employ
ees is looming. The date set for the
strike is Saturday this week . 1,200,000
men will be affected if the strike
takes place. .
$50,000,000 was recently cut bv the
government board from the wages of
maintenance of way laborers.
On Wednesday of this week the
State Highway Commission, sitting in
Portland, held a rehearing of the rout
ing of the Pacific Highway through
Oregon City with the result that the
former routing of . the Commission is
confirmed. The routing as adopted
by the Commission is east from the
bridge along Seventh Street to Rail
road Avenue, thence along Railroad
Avenue to Fifth Street, thence under
the Southern Pacific tracks and on the
East of the S. P. right of way to the
present grade of the South-End Road
and along the edge or the bluff
through Hawley Park and down into
the present routing through Canemah.
It was brought out by the commis
sion at the meeting that Main Street
is not sufficient to care for our local
needs and that this street could under
no circumstances toe made to safely
carry the additional traffic of the
Highway, amounting to thousands of
cars per day. It was pointed out that
the east approach of the new bridge
will discharge traffic from a 5 per
cent grade into the already congested
intersection of 7th and Main Streets
and, considering that this approach is
considerably narrower than 7th St
the right angle tarn into and from
Main Street at this point "would be a
dangerous undertakng. The Commis-
son appeared to feel that routing any
of the traffic from the bridge into
Main Street would 'cause accidents of
frequent oecurance at the Seventh St.
intersection. (It was further contend
ed that one other bad right angle turn
on Main Street is entirely avoided by
the 7th Street routine.
The matter of passenger and
freight car traffic along the tracks Dn
our Main Street wa3 discussed, the
commission claiming that it would
not be ratioal to add additional bur
dens to this street.
(Thoughtful Oregon City residents,
have for some time realized our need
for another down town street and it
appears- that the time for action has
arrived.) The new routing carries the
sanction and recommendation of the
Highway Commission. The commis
sion engineers, The Public Service
Commission.
On the other hand petitions liberally
signed were presented for the routing
through Main Street to Fifth Street
and thence over the hill. Among the
objections urged to the decision con
firmed is the cost of opening railway
avenue; the danger .to pedestrians at
the turn at Seventh and railroad
streets and the consequent loss of bus
iness to Main street merchants.
The use of two streets however
would be less dangerous than either
Main or Seventh alone.
It is reported that further remon
strance to the Seventh street routing
will be made.
In case the commission holds to the
present decision and the city must
open the way along Railroad avenue
it may be a long time before the route
will be complete.

City Council Grants
Railway Franchise
Lack of Penalty Provisions Arouses
Protest Bids For Construction
City Hall Rejected
The city council at last Fridays
meeting passed the ordinance granting
the Portland Railway, Light and Pow
er company an extension of its freight
franchise until 1943, and granting the
company permission to operate two
freight trains of fifteen cars each dur
ing the day, if necessary, to supply
the Hawley Pulp Paper company with
logs for operation.
E. G. Caufield appeared before the
council and protested against the pro
vision permitting freight trains during
the day, and the omission from the
franchise of a penalty for failure to
comply with its provisions.
A citizens' committee composed of
Messrs. Andresen, Jones, Humphreys
and M. D. Latourette advised with the
council before first reading of the
ordinance and the council did not" act
upon Mr. Caufield's protest which was
offered at the second reading. A
strong point for the privilege of day
freight was that it Is necessary to the
continuous operation of the Hawley
Mill while in the protest it was point
ed out that the practice was dangerous
to Main Street property interests.
The railroad company promised to
minimize the day freight business to
the limit.
Bids for the construction of the new
city hall, five in number, ranged from
$47,169 to $53,323. These bids did not
include plumbing wheh called for an
additional outlay of from $4700 to
$6000. The architect's estimate of the
cost of the building was $33,000. The
city has a fund of $35,000 to care for
the building. New bids will be asked
on the unit plan.

PRIVATE SCHOOL
SPONSORS LINE UP
AGAINST MEASURE
The proposed compulsory education
law under 'which all hoys and girls
must attend public schools between
eight and 16 years of age or until the
eighth grade shall have been com
pleted, with limited exceptions, has
registered against it the Evangelical
Lutheran Synod of the Oregon Wash-
mgton district m convention at Salem
last week.
It was claimed by those who object
ed that the proposed measure will de
prive them of their constitutional right
to exercise and teach religion without
government interference. In this they
refer to their denominaiotnal day
schools in which they in some places
teach religion as well as other subjects
in their schools.
For the same reasons objection is
raised by the adventists who conduct
private schools in which religion as
well as other subjects are taught
The strongest opposition to the mea
sure which will go on the ballot this
fall is expected from the Catholic
Church which supports its own private
schools generally.
Over fifty thousand signatures to
the petition for placing the measure
on the November, ballot were obtained
by the circulators in one day. All of
these conditions point to this measure
as one of the most bitterly contested
at the coming election.

unity of outlook there was
none until Jefferson speaking
for America and the Contin
ental Congress, declared' that
men have a right to freedom
because they are men and that
governments derive their ; just
powers from the consent of
the governed.
The Continental Congress, July 4,
1776, gave liberty her passports and start
ed her around the world. The Declar
ation of Independence is indeed, not ex

greatest contribution to the age of Repub

Oregon, financial interests claim the
information that the constitutional

lowering of interest rates in this state

would make a fine parody on Shake

Everybody else seemed dubious about
the latter's acceptance but the unex
pected happened and he did. And the
choice was a wise one.
Additioal polling places were sug
