COUNTY HELP GET AID Executive Signs Paper Allowing Levy to Furnish Fund for Paying Salaries. ' SALEM Or., Dec. J7. (Special.) Governor Olcott tonight vetoed senate 1)1)1 No. 1. approved at the special ses sion of the legislature, providing that cash or loans received by ex-service fhen under the so-called bonus act shall be exempt from attachment for debts contracted by the beneficiaries prior to the effective date of the bonus amendment to the constitution: This bill was Introduced by Senator Jay Upton of Crook county. In his veto message Governor Ol cott said: "I herewith return senate bill No. 1, with my disapproval. As near as can be determined from the reading 1 of this very loosely drawn bill It has for Its purpose the exemption of ex service men from payment of debts contracted prior to receipt by them of their loan or cash bonus under the veterans' aid act. Bill Held Reflection. T consider this piece of legislation an unwarranted reflection on our ex service, men. I have only the highest faith in the Integrity and honor of those men who entered their coun try's service. I am certain that they have no wish or desire to be placed In a class where they would be ex empt from the payment of any por tion of their honest debts. I am re luctant to believe that a solitary ex service, man would welcome, or even desire, the passage of such legisla tion." Even If approved by the governor, attorneys who have studied this pro posed law were almost a unit In the opinion that it would be unconstitu tional. They based this assertion, they said, on the grounds that the law would give to one class of citi zens rights and privileges not en Joyed by other classes. Salary Bill Signed. Among the bills signed by Gover nor Olcott today was one introduced by Representative Kubll of Multno mah county, providing that county courts or boards of county commis sioners In cities having a population of 100,000 or more persons may levy a tax not to exceed l-13th of a mill to create a fund for the payment of salaries of help In county offices. This law will affect only the sher iff's office in Multnomah county. At the time this bill came before the special session of the legislature for consideration It was argued that the so-called conservation tax com mission of Multnomah county had slashed the budget for the year 1922 to the extent that a cut in the sala ries of a number of employes of Sher iff Hurlburt was Inevitable. Several of these employes, who had been In the service for a long period of time, threatened to resign unless they con tinued to receive the same salaries as under present conditions. Under the provisions of the law no increase will be made in the present salaries, which are considered low when com pared with those paid for similar work In other sections of the country. Action Is Explained. Xn signing this bill the governor gave out the following statement: "This bill Is for the purpose of cor recting a condition In the law which affects one office alone In Multnomah county. If the bill were not enacted it would result in crippling the sher iffs office of that county, the bill being for the purpose merely of keep ing salaries of deputies In that county at their present standard. "in this connection the office Is In receipt of a letter from F. W. Mulkey, chairman of the tax conservation com mission of Multnomah county, stating that In his Judgment the statute pro vides too small a compensation and the legislature should make a read justment of the matter. "I sign this bill with pleasure. At this time, above all others, when a crime wave is rampant and respect able citizens are depending upon the officers of the law to protect their lives and property. It would be pecu liarly unfortunate to permit the offi cial functions of an Important law enforcement office like that of the sheriff of Multnomah county to have its efficiency Impaired because of a comparatively small amount of money. Phillips Brothers Recalled. "But another feature appeals to me more deeply. Looking back over the record of the deputies in that office, I remember that the Phillips brothers, 'Bob' and 'Buck,' were shot to death, as well as Deputy Sheriff Twombly, who met his death while on duty. Not long ago Deputy Sheriff Kendall was wounded by a holdup thug and for days lay at the point of death. Dep uty Sheriff Taylor was wounded in a pun fight with an Insane man while ivouciudeil ea fxt 2, Column 2.) Section Probably Will Be Inserted Before Court Action Is Begun by Exposition Backers. SALEM, Or.. Dec. 27. (Special.) It was discovered here tonight that In enrolling house bill No. 22, which is a part of the exposition legislation approved at the special session of the legislature, there was omitted a por tion of the senate amendment which authorized a share of the funds raised for exposition purposes to be appor tioned to the various counties of the state for co-exhibit purposes. That part of the senate amendment which was omitted in enrolling the original bill follows: "Said 10 per cent shall be appor tioned among the various counties of this state as follows: To Multnomah county, $30,000; to each other county of the state $5000; the remainder of the said 10 per cent shall be divided among the respective county courts of the state except Multnomah coun ty, proportionately In the ratio that the number of registered motor ve hicles (not including motorcycles) in each of said participating counties on December 31, 1921. bears to the total registered vehicles (not including mo torcycles) of all the participating counties, Multnomah county being ex cluded. For the purposes of this pro viso the board of county commission ers of any county whose fiscal affairs are managed by such board shall be deemed to be included In the term 'county court.' " This bill has been sent to Roy Rlt ner. president of the senate, for his signature. It was said here tonight that the part of the senate amend ment omitted from the enrolled bill probably will be Inserted before any court action Is started to compel President Rltner to sign the measure and return it to Governor Olcott for approval.

Vlce-Admlral Hilary P. Jones, commanding the At lantic fleet, today ordered that be ginning December .28 there should be no further discharges of enlisted men. A reduction of 10 per cent of the enlisted personnel of the fleet had been ordered recently. REDUCTION IS 20 PER CENT Revised Schedule Is Ordered Prepared at Once. CONTRACT SYSTEM KEPT Board Requires Explicif Assurance that Eight-Hour Law Will Not Be Violated. The broadax of wage reduction, swung by a unanimous vote of the directors of school district No. 1, chopped away approximately $40,000 of the janitorial budget at a session of the board last night. Though the action was only tentative, directors made it clear that the intent Is to reduce the annual aggregate of $200, 000, for janitor service, by not less than 20 per cent, and Instructed the superintendent of properties to pre pare at once a revised schedule for their approval at the meeting to be held next Wednesday night. Storm signals that flew at the out set, auguring a typical tempest, were hauled down when George B. Thomas, director, declared that any programme which achieved a wage reduction would be satisfactory to him. Pre viously .there had been introduced by the property committee, of which he Is chairmi-n, a new schedule for jani torial compensation which sought to supplant the present system of con tract work by one wherein payment would be on an hourly basis, with every employe directly under the su pervision of the board. Calm Weather Follow. "You are trying to tear this sched ule to pieces!" he accused Director Shull. when that member had ven tured a mild request for Information. "Well, I'll get the Information, you bet your life," responded Director Shull. "If I can't get it from you I'll get it from somebody else." Thereafter the weather was fair, for Director Thomas asserted that he had no thought of playing politics, by bringing a large number of additional employes under the control of the de partment of properties, and that his sole concern was for economical ad ministration either Under the pro posed schedule or the present system of contract. School janitors are re ceiving, he said, far more than jani tors In other public buildings, includ ing the city hall and courthouse, and not less than 26 such employes of the district draw monthly pay checks which net them more than $200. Since 1915 the increase in janitorial salaries has been 50 per cent. "1 am very strongly of the opinion," (Continued on Page 2. Cojumn 1.) HE'S BEEN" West Side Escapes, But East Side Residential Districts Get Severe Ice Coating. Portland had a fine start on a silver thaw yesterday morning, and the situation may be a good deal worse before It is better. That deli cate balance of weather conditions that results In rain falling from low hanging clouds into a temperature below the freezing point and congeal ing as fast as it falls, existed early yesterday In the eastern sections of the city and each telephone wire and blade of grass took on Its coating of ice. while sidewalks, pavements and exposed steps and porches were varn ished with a slick, transparent layer. Only the rising of the temperature to a point well above 32 degrees Fahren heit prevented serious damage to shrubbery and electric systems. The west side escaped without a sugges tion of an ice storm, while the resi dential sections of Mount Tabor, Mount Scott, Rose City Park, Alameda and St. Johns had an Ice coating ap proaching the point of severity. District Forecaster Wells was un able to say last night that Portland will or will not be visited by another ice storm like that of last month. Conditions favoring a "stiver thaw," he said, come about suddenly and are difficult to forecast, as the existence of such a condition sometimes de pends upon the variance of one or a few degrees of temperature. The official thermometer showed a temperature of 38 degrees at 6 P. -M. yesterday, but was falling rapidly, and a freezing temperature was ex pected during the night. The barom eter, however, was rising, indicating that the precipitation may be checked. A drizzle of cold rain fell intermit tently throughout the day yesterday, clogging gutters with a dismal mix ture of water, snow and ice. Most of the snow has been melted and washed away, however, and future rains, un less another freeie and snow storm takes place, will run off more rapidly. The official forecast for today around Portland Is for rain and' for up-state sections is "rain "or snow." VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 27. tSpecial.) Clarke county was threat ened with a silver thaw early today, but the temperature rose several de grees and for ie present the danger was passed. A report that fhere was ice on the Salmon and Creek hill was investigated by Walter A. Schwars, county engineer. He sent out two men, but found there was no ice at 3:45 o'clock, although a stage had been wrecked by having a wheel break. Rain fell most of today. ASTORIA. Or., Dec. 27. (Special.) Astoria was visited last night and to day by a cold, misty rain, accompa nied by a chilling east wind, while on the hills along both sides of the river there was a light fall of snow. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Dec. 27. (Spe cial.) Except to prevent the over loading and undermining of expensive retaining walls, work in the state highway department in clearing the Columbia River highway between Vlento and Wyeth will be postponed until spring, according to an an nouncement made today by Resident (Concluded on Page 3, Colum-n Z.) HANGING AROUND HERE LONG UNITED STATES TO BE ASKED TO SEND DELEGATES. Object of Conference Is to Set Finances of Europe In Order for Benefit of World. PARIS. Dec. 27. (By the Associated Press.) The United States probably will be invited to send official repre sentatives to the international finan cial and economic conference, which Is to be called by the allied supreme council at Its annual meeting in Canpes early next year. Premiers Brland and Lloyd George, it was said on the best of authority, are agreed on the necessity for or ganizing such a conference on suf ficiently broad lines to grapple not only with the European financial muddle, but with the world's eco nomic problems. The meeting at Cannes will fix the date for the conference, which it Is expected will follow somewhat the system of work adopted at the finan cial conference at Brussels last year, but it will be a more official body. The chances are that Germany, Aus tria and the new states which so greatly need economic advice will be invited. As to Russia there Is still doubt in some minds as to the efficiency of her participation. London Is most frequently men tioned as the place for holding the conference. The plan is to hold a conference about the end of January or early in February. MRS. STUBBSJN HIDING Acquitted Murder Defendant Dis appears AVhen Mate Is Jailed. TACOMA. Wash., Dec. 27.
