AFFIDAVITS VERIFIED BY
FORMKR STATEMENTS OF
POSTMASTER.
Postmaster Myers' attitude to
ward postal employes returning
from military service was ex
pressed to John V. Kelly, a re
porter of The Oregonian, on or
about May 19, 1919, in language
substantially as follows: "They
are not entitled to special consid
eration. They were well cared
for. They made no sacrifice. They
didn't volunteer and they didn't
go until they were taken out by
the draft. They ought to be glad
they're alive."
Efforts of Postmaster Myers to evade
charges made by postal employes who
have returned from military service of
discrimination practiced against ex
soldiers, by issuance of a - statement
branding Mayor Baker "a four-flusher,"
was followed yesterday by a red-hot
statement issued by Mayor Baker which
demands a show-down.
The seething controversy which has
arisen between Postmaster Myers and
Mayor Baker is the result of the filing
of affidavits with the mayor on Friday
by ex-service men employed as clerks
in the Portland postofTice charging that
Postmaster Myers had failed to return
them to day jobs, which either they
held prior to entering military service
or would have been entitled to under
the rule of seniority which they con
tend was in vogue in the postoffice at
the time of their enlistment.
Affidavit Is (Uven.
Attached to the statement issued by
Postmaster Myers was an affidavit,
signed by Carl Proppe, one of the postal
clerks who on Friday signed an affi
davit before Mayor Baker making
charges against the mayor. Among
these charges included an alleged state
ment made by Postmaster -Myers to
Proppe to the effect that Proppe should
be glad that he was aMve and that hia
ability as a postal Clerk has been
spoiled by eating too many chocolates
in France. The second affidavit signed
by I'roppe was said by Postmaster
Myers to have been given voluntarily
before three witnesses.
This affidavit is as follows:
State of Oregon. County of Multnomah, ss.
T, Curl Proppe, a clerk in the Portland
postoffice. binK first duly sworn, depose

army I hud night work in the Portland post

service 1 was reinstated at a salary of $1400
per annum and was promoted again to 91500

same nicht shift that I had before I entered
military service: and I feel that I should be

My commission expires May 5, 1113.
Mayor Believes .Myers ' Guilty.
"The very statement Mr. Myers has
issued to the, press." Mayor Baker com
mented on this affidavit, "indicates his
attitude toward soldiers and gives me
firmer reason than ever before to be
lieve the charsos as contained in the
affidavits. I refer to the affidavit he
has made young Proppe sign. A read
ing of that affidavit shows that Mr.
.Myers simply backed this young man
up against a wall and forced him to
sign an affidavit which is absolutely
ridiculous.
"The duress under which this was
signed is apparent. An official who
would do a thing like that would do
most anything. It is nothing short of
criminal, particularly when you see the
wonderful war record of that particu
lar clear-eyed young men. What fine
hypocrites it makes of us who stayed
at home and enjoyed peace while these
men went through war with our prom
ise of, fair treatment ringing in their
ears. Vhe affidavits made in my office
were troluntary, while that at the post
office was made under coercion. It's
time the public demanded a shown
down on such performances.1'
Myers Attempts Defense.
The following is the statement issued
by Postmaster Myers:
"W ith. reference to the charge made
to Mayor Baker by four postoffice
clerks who have returned from military
loav and who allege that discrimina
tion has been used in not giving them
day wark instead of night work, will
late mat there is not one word, either
in the postal laws and regulations, or
in the postal code, or in the letter files
from the department, in which it is
stated that seniority in service should
govern as to night or day shifts. The
postal laws and regulations explicitly
state that all employes are under the
postmaster's supervision, that he and
he only is held responsible for the ef
ficiency of his office, and that he
should assign the employes in his office
where, in his judgment, they can do
the most efficient and satisfactory
work.
"The facts are that I was the first
postmaster in the United States, in a
large office, to recognize seniority in
service as a working rule which would
be adhered to as closely as possible
without impairing the efficiency of the
institution, transacting a very large
business, and the postmaster is charged
with s heavy responsibility in giving
service to the public, and it is obviously
impossible to 6ive all employes day
work.
M!it Work for Women Opposed.
"When the United States entered the
war the Portland postoffice had only
11 female clerks, while it now has over
100, all of whom are unmarried women
and most of whom are young ladies.
It is believed contrary to the public
welfare for these young; women, to
work until 1 o'clock in the morning
and then have to wait alone on street
corners for street cars, and possibly
walk several blocks after they leave
the car to their homes.
"Bven during the most critical period
of the war England and France both
found that the Light work for women
s against the public welfare and
were taking steps to have as few wom
en work nights as possible.
"The only relief that could be given
the complainants at this time would be
to put young women on the night work.
This in most cases would be taking: em
ployes from work with which they are
familiar and giving them night distri
bution of mail, which requires consid
erable time to learn. The complainants,
if given day work at this time, would
be assigned to work
also are unfamiliar.
"Chocolate" Statement Denied.
Three of the complainants, George
Schiewe, Richard Manning- and Martin
J. Rooney. stated in the presence of
three witnesses that they did not tell
Mayor Baker that I had ever said any
thing which in any way would reflect
on the returned soldiers. Carl Proppe
is the clerk who seems to have the
worst grievance, and is the one who
chartres rae with having- stated that he
had been fed too many milk chocolates
while in France. This statement, of
course, is ridiculous and was never
thought of or started by me in any
shape or form. Carl Proppe's position
is set forth in the attached affidavit,
to which he held up his right hand
ana swore Deiore a notary public and
in the presence of three other wit
nesses. JVO dOUOt OUT Buhlirifv seelrlno-
four-flushing mayor heartily concurs
in Mr. Proppe's position, but I am loath
to Deneve that the majority of the
people or this city will sustain it.
War Record Cited.
"While Mayor Baker was out making
hot-air speeches, to the disgust of many
people, the Portland postoffice was vig
orously prosecuting the war in every
possible way its Influence could be ex
erted. Although permitted to do so
under the law. not a single exemption
was filed for any employe of this office,
but our boys were urged to join the
colors, and the service flag of the Port
land postoffice contains 83 stars, which
represents more than-one out of five of
all regular employes at the time Amer
ica entered the war. Twenty-five of
these boys have not yet returned from
military service, but their positions,
wtih increase in salary, awaits them.
"While in one sense the war is over,
the nation is passing through a serious
time of reconstruction, and it is abso
lutely improper and unpatriotic for
anyone to stir up industrial or social
unrest. Our weak-minded and talka
tive mayor should not 'rock the boat' i
by rushing into print on a matter of
mis Kind without first ascertaining
from the one charged with the respon
sibility of the office the true facts,
which have been outlined above.
"F. S. MYERS."
Mayor Says Myers Kvaslve.
Mayor Baker's reply reads as fol
lows: "Postmaster Myers does not answer
the charg.es gainst himself or better
his position by slinging mud at me.
Any shortcomings he may think I have
are not the issue. The issue is that of
unfair, discourteous and uncalled-for
actions and attitude on his part toward
men who went through the fire of
France. .
"I have presented certain informa
tion to the officials at Washington re
garding Mr. Myers- actions and atti
tude. The information is contained in
affidavits sworn to by ex-service men
now in the local postal service, which
affidavits are in my possession as
mayor and as chairman of the state
committee for soldier welfare.
Affidavits Voluntarily Made.
"I will say that m v investigation of
the charges started when a delegation
of returned service men now in the
postoffice came to my office and com
plained of unfair treatment accorded
them-by Postmaster Myers. I warned
tnese boys that they had a peculiar
man to deal with and that if thev
started a fight it might cost them their
positions. But they wanted to
through and, accordingly, they volun
tarily made up their affidavits. As
far as these boys are concerned thev
are all typical, clear-eved Amrin.
of the a No. 1 sort, and I would take
their word without oath in preference
to the dying sworn statement of Post
master Myers.
"To get at the issue, let Postmaster
Myers deny that a seniority rule ex

left for service in France. Let him
deny that Portland stood with hr i

SMALL ROAD BIDS OPPOSED
Pierce County Considers One Con-
tract for $2,500,000 Job.
TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 2. (Special.)
The work of constructing all the high
ways to be built under the plans of the
$2, 500. 000 bond issue recently approved
by Pierce county voters may be award
ed to one contractor. The county com
missioners are considering thin nl
after having been advised in an opin
ion rrom tne prosecuting attorney that
such a step would be legal.
The difficulty of obtaining bids on
small contracts has caused some worry,
as all of the bids were high. The con
tractors advised the commissioners that
heavy overhead expense in moving pav
ing plants from one place to another
necessitates high bids on small jobs.

THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 3. 1919. 31
T OF ROAD
WORK ALSO PROBLEM
Figures on Construction Show
Pronounced Increase.
ALL ESTIMATES ADVANCED
GoTenynent, State and Counties Are
Affected by General Lift Fur
ther Boost Possible.
High cost of living is reflected in the
cost of read construction. In 1917 the
estimated cost of the Flora-Enterprise
project in Wallowa county was 39,6S.
The estimate for the same work this
year is 173,500. The cost of the Ochoco
canyon project in Crook county was
estimated at $52,500, and the current
estimate is $91,145. The figures are
those of the forestry department sent
to the state highway commission.
When the highway commission meets
in Portland next Tuesday it will open
bids on 98.S miles of grading and mac-
adam and 40.8 miles of paving, a total
of 139.3 miles of road work. The com
mission is pursuing- a plan of getting
under contract a large number of road
jobs, so that contractors will know
Just what they will have to meet, and
act accordingly. Costs may go still
higher next year, and this possibly is
considered in placing contracts now.
Government Alse Affecrted.
The government is confronted by ad
vanced costs in projects it has under
way. The Flora-Enterprise road is a
co-operative project. The estimate
made two years ago. was Wallowa
county. $5000; state, $12,324: govern
ment, $12,324: total, $29,648. The pres
ent estimate is: Wallowa county, $12,
400; state, $30,550; government, $30,
550; total, $73,500. This increase ne
cessitates the following additional
funds: Wallowa county. $7400; state,
$18,225; government, $18,225.
This project was) approved by the
commission in September. 1917. Con
struction by day labor was begun by
the bureau of public roads last season,
but only a small amount of work was
done. The agreement was based on'
pre-war estimates, when earth exca
vation cost 37 cents, rock $1 and clear
ing and grubbing $70 an acre. Present
excavation prices on the work are
easily double the old figures and clear
ing and grubbing prices are four or
five times greater, the government of
ficials report to the commission.
All Unit Costs Higher.
In order to cut down expense the
project was inspected by several com
petent men and new locations selected
wherever economy could be effected
without detriment to final results.
This month the bureau of public roads
'reported the unit costs as common ex
cavation, 83 cents per cubic yard; solid
rock, $1.80; clearing and grubbing $165
an acre.
On the Ochoco canyon section the
government has encountered decided
increases in costs. Due to the increased
cost of labor and materials, the outlay
for this project ow is estimated at
$91,145 for grading, as against the first
estimate of $52,500. The work is being
done by day labor under the direction
of the bureau of public roads. The ex
cavation costs approximately 77 cents
a cubic yard at present, for common
work and $1.67 for rock. In order to
complete the work it will be necessary
to provide the difference between the
agreed and the present estimate, or
about $38,645.
Crook's Contribution Cut.
It has been thought best to limit
Crook county's additional contribution
to 25 per cent over the estimated cost,
as the county is short of funds and has
contributed to the project a larger sum
than is ordinarily the case where coun
ties co-operate. The county's first share
waa $17,500, and 25 per cent increase
makes its total contribution $21,875.
The increase over the original contri
bution of the state and government is
$17,135.
All supplies for the Mitchell region
will go over this Ochoco canyon road,
and with a mail contract granted over
it, the road is of much greater impor
tance now than when the agreement
for co-operation was signed.
During the progress of the work
more adobe eoil has been encountered
than was anticipated. Certain portions
along the new location will be im
passable during the winter unless some
graveling is done in the worst places.
The bureau of public roads has esti
mated that between $9000 and $10,000
is needed to provide a single track
graveling over the worst spots. It is
desired that this cost be divided be
tween the state and government.
Bids to Be Reeefved.
At Tuesday's meeting of the commis
sion the longest road job on which bids
will be received is from Bend north to
the Jefferson county line, a distance of
23.9 miles, which is to be graded. Thirty-four
miles of grading and macadam
will be considered for the Pacific high
way in Douglas county, these being the
Yoncalla section, 8.5 miles; Roseburg
Wilbur section, 6.3 miles; Canyonville
Myrtle creek section, 9.8 miles, and
Canyon ville-Galesville section. 11.1.
Of particular interest to Clatsop
county people will be the bidding on
14.8 miles of paving between Astoria
and Seaside. The bulkheads for the
approach at Youngs bay have been
made and the port of Astoria dredge
will make the fill at cost. A section
of the Columbia highway in the tpwn

THE MODERN PROPHET
And Ancient Prophecy
By Dr. JAMES K. TALMAGE
Of the Council of the Twelve. Chnrrh of Jeans Christ of Latter-day Sainlsi
Salt Lakft City, I tan.
Note For free copies of other articles of hls series, send request to the author.
We live in a time of prophecy and
promise. The prophet of God, be it re
membered, is a fulfiller of predictions
an wen as a preaicter. inspired proph
ecies throughout the ages past, so far
as they relate to pre-millennial devel
opments of Divine purpose, point to this
current time as the period of consum
mation. In the literal sense we live in the
last days not merely the latest that
have been, but the last that are to be
prior to the second coming of our Lord
the Christ who Is soon to return to
earth, on which He lived, labored, suf
fered, died and was resurrected.
As in olden days, so now, God has
prophets among men, who are author
ized and directed to declare His will
and to summon mankind to hear and
heed.
Joseph Smith was the first prophet
of this dispensation. He spoke and
wrought in a Name and by a Power
greater than his own. That he was
condemned and flouted through Igno
rance and prejudice, that his message
to the world has been openly denounced
and derided, that he suffered persecu
tion eliminating in martyrdom, con
stitute, by analogy, evidence of his gen
uineness, for such were the experiences
of the prophets of old, and even of the
Savior Himself, who, of all prophets,
seers and revelators. was the greatest.
As a fulfiller of ancient nraphecy, as
a chosen and authorized agent through
whom Divine predictions have become
realities. Joseph Smith Is the most
prominent figure In history since the
close of our Lord's earthly ministry. I
pray you consider dispassionately the
few facts cited below, which are illus
trative of many.
1. The restoration of the Gospel by
angelic embassage is specified as a fea
ture of the last days. Read Rev. 14:6-7.
In the year 1827, a heavenly personage
disclosed to Joseph Smith the deposi
tory of a record containing, as the
visitant averred and as subsequent
translation proved. tke fatness of the
everlasting Gospel ... as delivered
by the Savior to the ancient Inhabi
tants of whom the record speaks.
Furthermore, in 1829, John the Baptist
conferred upon the latter-day prophet,
by the laying on of hands, the author
ity of the Aaronlc Priesthood; and later
the Holy Apostleship was bestowed un
der the hands of Peter, James and John,
the presiding Apostles In the Primitive
Church. Under the Divine commission
thus Imposed, the restored Gospel has
been preached throughout the greater
part of the world.
2. Through the prophet Malachl the
Lord promised to send Elijah with spe
cial appointment. Read Malachl 4. par

appeared to Joseph Smith, and commit- '
ted unto him the keys of authority for
administering the ordinances of salva
tion in behalf of the dead, whereby the
living may officiate in the stead of
their departed progenitors.
3. The'reassembling of the tribes of
Israel after their dispersion of centu
ries has been predicted by many proph
ets. Joseph Smith solemnly avers that '
he was visited by Moses, the deliverer
of Israel, who commissioned him for the
work "of the aathrrlna of Israel from
the four parts of the earth," etc As ti
the earnestness with which this labor
has been begun, and the progress al
ready made therein, consider the hun
dreds of thousands belonging to the '
families of Israel already gathered in
the valleys of the Rocky Mountains,
about the House of the Lord, there es
tablished. Read Micah 4:1-2.
4. Isaiah foretold the bringing forth
of a record, which should be as the
voice of the dead, the history of a na
tion broug-ht low into the dust. Read
Isa. 29:4. The miraculous revealment of
the Book of Mormon, and its publica
tion in modern tongues through Joseph
Smith's agency, furnish a literal and
circumstantial fulfilment. Thus also
has been realized the prophecy given
through Ezekiel. that the stick or rec
ord of Judah, which is the Holy Bible,
should become one with that of Joseph. '
which is the Book of Mormon. Read
Ezekiel 37:16-19.
6. The last dispensation was long ago
proclaimed as a period of restoration
and restitution. Read Acts 3:19-21 and
Eph. 1:9-10. Joseph Smith testified that
through the ministrations of heavenly
beings he was directed to open up this,
the dispensation of fulness, restoration
and restitution: and that to the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
"is the power of this Priesthood gives,
for the last days nnd for the last time.
In the which Is the dispensation of the
fulness of times. (Doctrine & Cove
nants 112:30).
Thus was Joseph Smith empowered
for the work pertaining to the final
restoration of the Gospel a prophet
fulfilling prophecy.
There Is but one answer adequate,
consistent and logical, as to the status ,
of this man, and as to the eternal eig
nlficance of the work he wrought;
