THE OREGON ;DAILY JOURNAL, ' PORTLAND, THURSDAY, AUGUST . 198. . '3t HOLDS STATE WATER SUPERINTENDENT IS UNNECESSARY OfflC . E No Appointment to Succeed Jas. T. Chinnock to Be Made; Lewis Offered Place. Salem, Aug. 8. James T. Chinnock, superintendent of water division No, Z. hu submitted his resignation to Governor Wlthycombe as he has already entered the practice of law at Grants Pass. No appointment will .be made to fill the vacancy because pf the short age of funds In the appropriation for the water board, and what work: there Is will be handled by State Engineer Lewis. . It has been conceded for some time that this .particular office has become an unnecessary appendage to the state government as the work can be easily handled- by the state engineer, and Percy A. "Cupper, Republican nominee for water superintendent, has made known his intention of recommending to the legislature the consolidation of this office with the state engineer's ornce. v In connection with Chlnnpk's resig nation, uovernor Wlthycombe an nounced that if State Engineer Lewis does not resign he will appoint him to his present office for another four years' .term. This announcement was unexpected because of the bitter con troversy which raged between the rov- ernor and state engineer when Lewis was. both, state engineer and highway engineer. As a result of that contro versy, the governor had a law put tnrougn the legislature making the of rice or state engineer appointive in stead of elective. Lewis has announced he will resign If the capital Issues com mittee approves the bond Issue of the Wajjn Springs Irrigation district so that the bjg Irrigation project can pro ceed.

His position was - expressed In a telegram to Chairman Kffchln of that house ways and means committee. made public here today.. ; "The adoption pf an. 80 per cent war profits tax would render unnecessary, and, I believe, undesirable,! any Jncrease in uie existing excess pronts tax rate, said MoAdoo's telegram. " '"It Is my strong conviction that the taxation of genuine war profits is the only way to reach real war profiteer ing and that it is at the same tlma a thoroughly justifiable measure upon economic grounds, as well as a cer tain and Indispensable producer of the large part of the revenue.- American producers should be con-i tent with one fifth of their "war profits; McAdoo said, especially since men safe-: guarding their liberty are -"working" for" $396 per year and giving thfir blood in ine oargain. After a survey of Chicago's railway terminals situation McAdoo was on his wayto Washington today, Son Causes Arrest Of "Enemy" Father j - j South Bend. Ind.. Aug: 8. (I. N. S.)
