Sand, Gravel Bill Would Cut Totals Of School-Moneys Statehouse, Salem, Or,, jjah. 11. Sand and gravel companies, before the spe cial session of 1920, generally were en gaged in the pleasant occupation of taking sand and gravel, in most cases without compensation, from the' beds of the streams owned by the state or the counties of the state, and selling the materials -to the - state, 'counties and municipalities at hlgt figures. - spurred on by .the many ; thousands Of dollars in overcharges taxed against the highway construction program alone. uie roaua ana mgnways cununuua. vi the special session of 1920 introduced and ; secured - the action of a bill as serting the ownership of the state and the counties in the underlying beds of rivers and streams, and providing that sand and gravel, companies would 'have to secure the permission of the state land board to take building materials, and also to pay a royalty of 10 cents the cubic yard for the privilege. This royalty was to go into the irreducible school found of the state. As a result of that measure, which has been in effect for the short space between - the special session and now, the school fund is more than 40,000 to the good. Senator Ryan of Clackamas,--seemingly, does not want tna school fund to have this earning revenue, for his bill introduced at the first day of the session would repeal the provisions of the law, in so far as counties and pub lic -works are concerned. ' The state land board has held, in ad ministering the law, that counties or municipalities may avoid the payment of royalties by digging the road ma terials they wish with their own labor. But the board holds, if tbey buy of private companies, they must be charged with the price of those companies which, of course, includes the royalty running to the state. The passage of his bill is undoubtedly in the interest of the county treasury of Clackamas county to a small degree, but against . the interest of the irre ducible school fund to a much greater degree. 98 Per Cent of All Street Accidents Declared Avoidable "At least 98 per cent of accidents oc curring on city streets and state high wavs are avoidable," declared B. F. Boyhton, head of the safety department of the P," R., L. & P. Monday night in the seventh of a series of free lectures on safety being conducted by the Na tional Safety council in Central -library. "The road hog is the one who is at the bottom of the majority of smashups and iniuries. while the man who drives care fully and seldom takes chances rarely gets hart. Automobile drivers should be as carefullly trained as are motormen and railroad engineers." Will J. Lester-1 of Lester-Heym com stnr talked on the care of the radiator. recommending a solution of wpod alco hol, glycerine and water as radiator filler and suggesting various precau tions to prevent freezing. He warned drivers that when protective coverings are used on the radiator, it is the bot torn of that delicate portion of the auto mobile that is most susceptible to changes of heat and cold, and it is here that the greatest danger lies.

Is in session here today. This, as regarded here, practically assures the election lot Dr. Tohn Abele of Portland for that position. Of the new men named by the gov ernor last week, - two Dr. J. H. Rosen berg of Prineville and Dr. George C Houck of Koseburg are ex-service men. Their influence on the board, it is felt, will be thrown to Abele, who is him self an ex-service man, and who Is being urged for the post on the strength of his war record and , the additional fact that he is an Oregon man. , The board at its session today is de voting its energies . toward the consid eration of routine business.
