Bill Provides Funds
For Teaching Blind
Nine propositions, five proposed
amendment to the state constitu
tion end four proposed, statutes, hsve
been submitted by - the special .- ses
sion of the legislature for approval
or rejection by the voter of Oregon
at the special election to be held
May 21. For the Information of the
voters The: Journal will present a
brief . and concise statement ef the
purpose and Intent of these various
proposals, one at a time, until the
entire list has been covered, taking
them in the order In which they will
appear upon the official ballot.
The ninth and last proposition on
the ballot of the special election la
the "Blind School Tax Measure." It
is a straight rnlllage tax measure
carrying a tax of ; one sixth, of a
mill on the . assessed valuation of
the state for the purpose of "erect
ing and equipping an institution for
the purpose of teaching such arts
and trades to blind persons as shall
be deemed "advisable to be taught
by the state! board of control."
-in addition to the mill age appropria
tion named above, the measure also pro
vides that a tax of one twenty-fifth of
a mill shall be levied for the purpose of
maintaining the Institution. The measure
provides that the institution shall be lo
cated within the corporate limit of Port
land and shall be open to blind persons
who, have resided within the state for
three years next preceding their ap
plication for ; admission.
INMATES GET FIXED PAT
It is provided that the proceeds from
the sale of all finished . products manu
factured by the blind shall be turned into
the general fund of the state, through
the state board of control. ! The inmates
are to be paid a certain fixed rate of
made the same promise and the same
threat to them. He also put the same
proposition up to the senator when he
went back to Washington to seek re
instatement and the Senator,1 outraged
at the demand that : be prostitute the
Influence of his position to such an
end, ordered Myers out of his office.
POSTOFFICE UKSATISFACTOBT
The inspectors who investigated the
affairs of the Portland office, reported
Very unsatisfactory conditions existing
as to its administration and conduct.
They reported.- among many other
things, that employes were permitted to
visit and waste time; that some super
visory officials, were given preference as
to office hours against the best inter
ests of the service; that Myers had rec
ommended the creation of supervisory
positions not necessary or justified and
that such positions were given to per.
sonal and political friends regardless of
efficiency ; that he kept a record of the
political registration of employes and
suggested to some of them that they
change their ; affiliations ; that employes
were afraid i to present grievances be
cause of Myers overbearing and dom
ineering attitude ; that a number of : ef
ficient employes quit because of Myers'
treatment of them; that because of the
treatment and favoritism shown to per
sonal and political friends the morale of
the office was at a low ebb 5 that Myers
had humiliated and embarrassed super
visory officials apparently for personal
or political reasons f that he directed
them to give positions to favorite, but
incompetent, employes; that be raised or
lowered efficiency ratings without full
knowledge 'of the facta.
"SERVICE ME!f SLIGHTED" j
The report also stated that with few
exceptions clerks who returned from
military service were given undesirable
night asslgnmnets and were given to
understand that they could resign If
they did not like what they had to do;
that one of these Clerks who appealed
to Myers on' the ground of seniority of
service was I refused relief and advised
that he should be thankful that he was
alive; that employes were required to
work overtime, but refused extra pay ;
that some who complained of this treat
ment were asked by Myers if they want
ed to resign; that he had personally in
structed one clerk to ring the time clock
at the end of her eight hour day and
then complete her work witheut extra
pay; that he had announced that the
rule of seniority would not be recog
nised or complied with.
SO CHAMBERLAIN IS FOUGHT
Prominent men of Portland also were
Interviewed by the inspectors and their
statements were summarised.? This sum
mary said, among other things, that
Myers treated employes unfairly and
unjustly ; that he was prostituting the
postal service to further his personal
and political ambitions ; , that he was
vindictively relentless towards those who
would not do his bidding
There were other charges, more seri
ous thah these mentioned.
It is because Senator Chamberlain,
ia the face of these eendltlojis surround
ing the Portland office, refused to ask
the postmaster general 'and the president
to save Myers position, or secure his re
instatement,; that he is now being op
posed by Myers, Hamaker, Starkweather

to them out of the sale price of the
products manufactured by them.
Under the terms of the act both the
One sixth and the one twenty-fifth mill
levies are to be made for the year 1921,
while the one twenty-fifth mill levy for
maintenance will be made each j year
thereafter. Reducing these millage fig
ures to dollars, on the basis of the
present assessed valuation of the state
S990.43S.472 shows that the fund pro
vided for construction and equipment of
the Institution totals $165,072, while the
maintenance fund is $39,617. In other
words the bill carries an appropriation
of $204,689 for the year 1921. while the
following - year It would carry , $39,617.
The 1921 total would, of course, rise or
fall proportionately with the increase
ojr decrease of the total assessed valua
tion next to be fixed.-while the annual
continuing appropriations would do the
same. ' .-.'?, .j
WOBK IS LIMITED
The act provides that the" unexpended
balance of the annual appropriation ex
isting at the close of the last quarter
of each year shall be turned Into the
general fund of the state treasurer each
year with - the final report of the board
of control. - - ' ; i '
' The proposed : measure covers a new
field not heretofore undertaken in this
state in a public way. It does not touch
in any manner or degree the work now
being done by the state blind school at
Bel em. which institution is specifically
limited In its activities by the law of
1913, which says that It "shall be consid
ered as an educational Institution only."
Pursuant to the terms of this limitation
the work done at the institution is what
might be termed "school work" only,
such as is usually taught in the com
mon schools of the state. It does not
teach, or attempt to teach, manual train
ing of any kind or the mastery of; those
arts and crafts which the .blind might
master and by which they would , be
made self supporting units of society. '

discuss the proposed measures to be

STRIKE CALLED BY
STUDENTS BECAUSE
OF SHANTUNG ENDS
By Charles Edward Hogue
Shanghai. China, May 12. (De
layed.) TJ. P.) Three million
Chinese students -who rose In rebel
lion April - 14,' against the Peking
military government's -; direct nego
tiation with Japan in connection with
the Shantung settlement, went back
to their class rooms today. The
strike waa broken.
The strike failed when the crafts
unions, the merchants associations and
other organized factors in China, failed
to support It. ' . -
The youthful strikers, filled with pa
triotism, and the conviction that their
cause was Just had counted on a great
wave of patriotism to sweep the coun
try, but this failed to materialise. The
students' union is disillusioned and there
is little likelihood It will be led into an
other hasty action by the argument of
"soap box" orators.
Older heads In Chnwdecided the strike
was "not the proper course at this time."
HOWELL JURY FREES
BOY INMURDER CASE
(Conttaed From Pas Ooa)
suggested that he return to his cell for
the remainder of the night.
"No, 111 not go back replied Howell
and he led the way to the courtroom
door. s' , ;' -
The verdict of acquittal ends a case
which has attracted wide attention and
which is the first murder case tried
three times in the history of this county
Howell had been in Jail since last
August.' ' '
Those in the courtroom besides Judge
Coke were John Kendall of Marshfield
and John Collier of Portland, of attor
neys for the defense ; the court bailiff
and the father and mother of the boy.
Howell retained his unusual composure,
although the moment was tense for
everyone.
WILL If OT RETURN HOME
Howell stopped on the courthouse
steps for . a moment and took a deep
breath of the fresh air, then quietly
walked ahead of the others as the little
procession went through the sleeping
city to the Baxter hotel.
The boy was given the room his
mother and father had occupied at the
hotel. The attorneys and the jurors sat
in the hotel Office for the rest of the
night as there were no accommodations
for them. " .
Howell, accompanied by his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Howell, left this
morning for Monmouth, Or., where the
family formerly resided. They will visjt
friends there for several weeks before
returning to Bandon, their home. How
ell was pleased to take the trip. He
says he expected to get free.
"It had to come out that way," he
said this morning.
- Howell has received letters from all
over the country and his correspondence
is an interesting collection of expres
sions from people. In all quarters. Sev
eral persons of means have expressed
their willingness to see that the boy
gets a fair show in spite of the handicap
of having been through facing a murder
charge. ' .
KEPT UP COURAGE
Howell was greatly pleased to be out
of JaiL He had said all along that they
"have nothing on me," and he wished
they would get ever with It and let
him get out of JaiL He said he was
confident that he would be acquitted,
but did not care to make any further
statemtnt, but perhaps would make, a
formal statement later through his at
torneys. When he dressed to leave his cell he
seemed to think -that he was not coming
back to the jail. Within a few minutes
from the time he was awakened from
a sound sleep in his cell bed which he
has occupied for eight months, he was
walking in freedom through the dark
streets, evidently appreciating fully what
freedom meant. - "
JUBORS AT FIRST SPLIT
On the first two ballots taken by the
jurors they stood seven for conviction
and five for acquittal. This was early
In the day Saturday and until night
they stood the same. Later one of two
were willing to make some concession
and at' last all agreed upon a -verdict
of acqulttaL '
Some of the jurors said that they felt
convinced that the bullet taken from the
murdered, girl's head was shot from
Howell's gun, but the evidence did not
show that the gun had been fired by
Howell, leaving a doubt In the first
trial of the case Howell was defended
by C F. McKnight of Marshfield. In
the second trial John C, Kendall was
associated with McKnight In the defense,
and in the third trial these two lawyers
were assisted by John G. Ooss of Marsh
field and John Collier of Portland. The
latr was sent to help the ..boy by the
Prisoners .Aid society. -. j.

months "after the accident, and as a
special appreciation for the care she re
