LONG DELAY MAY RESULT

, Jvcw Law in Motion.
1 SALEM, Or.. An;. 2j (Special.)
Approximately 60,000 forms of appli
cation upon which the Oregon bonus
can be paid are being: printed as a
result of a meeting: of the state bonus
commission - held here "today. These
lorms, when printed are to t dis
tribute among- the ex-service men
before the actual cash receipts from
the bond issues are at hand. It was
eaid by Adjutant-Cen-eral White that
this procedure would result In avoid
ing: unnecessary delays. :
The commission had no announce
ment to make of the method of dis
tribution, but s-aid that Its policy of
eliminating every preventable delay
would be followed in the distribution
method, as in all other matters.
That the bonus law failed com
pletely to take Into account the mag
nitude of the task in fixing- the ap
propriation for cost of bonus adminis
tration has given the commission a
perious problem which has been under
discussion and consideration for some
time. The law grives the commission
$30,000 with which to defray the cost
of operation for (wo years in creating
a 130.000,000 'building and loan agen
cy. That sum. is eaid to be barely
enough to Install the necessary equip
ment and to operate for a period of
four or five months. Instead of two
years.
Emenrgrrncy la Seen.
comparison of the Oregon appro
priation with the cost of the bonus
administration in other states, where
no loan feature is involved, has con
vinced the commission that there la
no plan of economy under which the
Oregon bonus law can be adminis
tered effectively or promptly as mat
ters now stand. There was said to be
a possibility that the state emergency
board members might be called into
Joint meeting with the bonus commis
sion for the purpose of studying the
problem and reaching a solution that
would meet the best interests of the
state.
Many Attorney Apply.
While the supply of attorney appli
cants Is ample, enough competent ap
praisers to meet the legal require
ments in every county have not yet
been received, according to the re
port of Secretary Brumbaugh to the
commission this morning. No ap
pointments of any kind were decided
upon today, as the commission has
adopted a policy of studying' closely
the personnel for operating the bonus
among the counties, since the very
foundation of the successful opera
tion of the loan feature depends upon
the character tof organization that Is
built up over the state for making
Appraisals and examining titles.
Those present at the meeting were
Governor Olcott, Adjutant-General
White, Commissioner Rice and Secre
tary Brumbaugh.

BOYS TURN IN ALARM'S
Mischievous Youths Cause Trouble
for .Portland Firemen.
False alarms turned in by boys who
are curious to see how the little red
boxes work, have been causing the
city fire bureau a great deal of
trouble of late. Fire Marshal Gren
fell estimates that each box alarm
turned in costs the city $100, and two
alarms within the last two days have
been found to be the work of mis
chievous youths.
An alarm was turned in yesterday
morning from East Eighth and East
