SSED
Following a lone and spirited debate
as to the quality of courtesy employed
by traffic officers in their dealings with
erring motorists along the lower Colum
bia highway, at roosting called by the
Oregon State Motor association in the
green room of the chamber of commerce
Monday afternoon, resolutions were
passed calling for a cessation of collec
tions of cash bail by traffic officers and
urging the state highway commission to
erect speed signs at frequent intervals
along the highways of the state. The ses
sion opened at 2 p. m. and continued
more than two hours, with H. J. Otten
heimer as chairman.
Several county and municipal officials
from towns on the highway between
bora and Astoria were present and as
sumed that the nature of the meeting
placed them on the defensive.
.BLAMES NEWSPAPERS
. Commissionr Fullerton of Columbia
county blamed the newspapers of Port
land for inciting the automobile tourists
to rebellion against the traffic rulings of
lower Columbia officials, though it was
shown that newspaper criticism followed
a aeries of complaints to the Chamber
of Commerce and the State Motor association.
I fUVv soeaaer ana aavocaiea a u raue

the Linnton road. Captain Lewis of the
Portland traffic squad took exception to
Holman s recommendation, statins that
126 accidents on the Linnton road during
the past year were due to speeding.
Holman urged that warnings be given
automobile drivers and that fewer ar
rests be made and fewer fines imposed.
Captain Lewis replied that during 1920
more than 32,000 warnings had been dis
tributed among the 21.000 motorists of
Portland- Arrests and fines, he stated,
usually followed a number of warnings
to the faulty driver.
OFFICES IS ABUSIVE
W. A. McKinney. ex-president of the
State Motor association, recited the de
tails of an unpleasant experience with a
traffic officer at Rainier. McKinney
said that the officer was profane and
discourteous, and after administering a
great deal of uninstructive abuse, or
dered the driver of the automobile to
report t once to the police station. Not
being able to find the station, McKin
ney and his friends drove on to Astoria,
he said.
Other speakers followed McKinney
with complaints of discourtesy on the
.part of traffic officers at Rainier, Seap-
noose. St Helens and other points on the
highway. Particular objection was raised
to tne payment or casn nan to irarric or
ficers on the highway and this led to the
passage of a resolution, Introduced by
Commissioner Holman, urging that the
. practice be discontinued and that when it
is found necessary to collect ball on the
Highway duplicate receipts be made out
'and the books of the traffic officials
"subjected to frequent audit.
CBITICISH IS RESENTED
i County Judge Martin White of Colum
bia county objected to accusations of dis
courtesy made against Speed Officer Ab-
;batt of thafeounty. He called upon Cap
.zaln Lewis and Lieutenant Irvine of the
Portland force and both of these officers
vouched ror tne nign cnaracter or Abbott

Judge -White said that arrests were

imt of 'raffle over the lower highway
'(n repl to appeals for greater leniency
n the .mposition of fines, white said
that the complainants would feel differ
ently about the quality of justice im
posed by his court if they had helped
;arry away dead bodies of people killed
-ay Portland motorists, as he had done
en several occasions.
About one mile of the Columbia high
way lies within the city limits of Scap-
oose and St Helens. Judge White etat

10 miles an hour. One speed officer is

e said, and all of the officers employed
are paid flat salaries and receive no
aom ml uion on the fines imposed.
WAHMVGS SEHT OUT
A. L Clark, justice of the peace of
Rainier, stated that he handed out more
warnings to tourists than the fines im
posed. He could not discriminate
favor of out-of-state tourists, he said, in
the matter of infractions of the
laws. Clark admitted that the laws ware
faulty and agreed that duplicate re
ceipts should be'Aesued for cash bail.
T. A. Raffity. chief field deputy of
the state traffic commission, stated that
officers employed in his department were
schooled in courtesy and that they wore
instructed that discharge from the serv
ice would follow the first complaint of
profanity or discourtesy. During 1920,
Raffety said, bis department issued 24.
681 warnings to tourists and made 341
arrests.
Raffety concurred in the passage of a
resolution calling on the state highway
commission to erect uniform spead signs
along the highways of the state.
W. D. JAMESON
FOUND IN CITY
Thirteen days after his disappearance
on July 13, W. D. Jameson was found by
Patrolmen Clayes and Paycer this morn
ing at Chapman and Jefferson streets.
Jameson, who has undergone financial
difficulties and bad suffered a nervous
Breakdown, left his home in the Royal
Arms apartments and took up a solitary
life in the woods along the Canyon road
and Washington park.
When arrested he stated he had been
living in the brush and occasionally
coming down into town. At the time
of his arrest he had a bunch of maga
zines under his arm and said he was
going back into the woods to read. De
spite a heavy growth of beard and not
having eaten much, as he told the po
lice, he appeared none the worse for
his . experiences.
Jameson had boon the object of wide
spread search for nearly a fortnight and
an organised searching party scoured
the countryside Saturday, running down
a half dosen fake clues. Jameson was
well known in business circles and
formerly was president of the Webfoot
Lumber company.

claim of the owners that in spite of ma
terials and hours of labor being esti
mated in proper relations to similar ex
penditure In the pre-war test period, the
"inefficiency of labor" still left a wide
difference between actual upkeep and
the expenditure made during the gov

HOPES FOB SETTLEMENT
In order to expedite settlement and
funding, an informal understanding
which is all that is possible or practical
has been reached, under which the. rail
way claims based on the "Inefficiency
of labor" are to be waived to hasten com
plete and final settlements without sur
render of any rights in court in case
there is failure to settle. I Rave no doubt
that early, final and satisfactory aettle
ments will be reached, since the policy of
the railway administration already has
been effective in finally settling the ac-
win have your prompt sanction.
The question of our obligation cannot
be raised, the wisdom of affording early
rener is not to so ooubteo. and too avoio-
of added appropriation or liability
will appeal to consjross and the public
alike.
The after-war distresses of two great
and fundamental activities have boon
riveting the anxlass attention of the coun
try. One is the readjustment and restor
ation of agriculture, the other is the dls-
of our railway transportation sys
tem.
The pending proposals for relief and
their discussion have already brought to
the attention of congress the very prom
ising possibilities of broadening the pow
ers of the war finance corporation for
the further relief of agriculture and live
stock production.
E A EL T-SANCTION AB VISED
This corporation has nroven itself so
Lelpful in the relief thus far undertaken
that I cannot help but believe that its
broadened powers, as have been proposed
to meet agricultural needs, will enable It
wholly to most the nation-wide eroer

larger aspects, ana it will be most grati

are essential to our healthful Industrial,

thing hinges on transportation.

their financial difficulties, the railroads
need only this financial aid which the
fulfillment of our obligations will bestow
to inaugurate their far-reaching revival
Its effect will be felt in varied industries

depression which, though inevitable in
war's aftermath, we are all so anxious
to see ended.
I am appending herewith memoranda

which congress will bo interested to note,
while considering the simple remedy pro
posed for the relief of the situation.
