State and Character Building
. Emphasized in Address
' By, Candidate
. State and ; character building,
with emphasis upon the Impoi
tance and possibilities of the flax
industry to Marlon county and the
necessity of taking care of the
boys and girls or Oregon, were the
outstanding poinst of an address
by Mayor George L. Baker, of
.Portland, candidate for United
States senator, who spoke at the
Lions club. luncheon Friday J

district are not appreciated by a
majority of people," Mayor Baker

may employ 100 men."
In developing his theme of
state development Mayor Baker
pointed out that the state is so
full of possibilities that the total
number are startling. People are
standing up waiting to be buried
at present, but progress is being
made, be said. One thought, that
of putting Oregon on the map,
must be continuous and spread
throughout the entire states. Los
Angeles had 1,000,158 people last
night and maybe more today,
Mayor Baker continued, saying
that this is more than the total
population of the entire state. He
emphasized the 13,000 member
ship of the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce and the fact that
that one city had more industries
than could be found in the other
two Pacific coast states. . Only
when Oregon is sung in harmony
over the entire state will the state
begin to grow, he said. He
stressed the point that Oregon was
at the very door of the Orient,
"! ?!fty ' ""I"
bors, that there were 52 steamship
lines operating out of Portland
alone and that the greatest need
Is industries. The timber will
eventually disappear though the
state now has one-fifth of the
standing timber in the country.

Character development was em
phasized iu closing. Seventy-five
per cent of the crime in Portland
was found to have been committed
by boys under 24 years of age,
and investigations revealed the
percentage to be about the same
throughout the country.
"The boy of today is permitted
to go where he pleases and when
he pleases," Mayor . Baker said,
calling attention to the fact that
the use of the rod was spared by
present day parents. "The boy or
girl is not delinquent. It is delin
quency upon the part of the par
ents, who should be held respon
sible. The police courts cannot
raise children and it is not their
duty to do so. In Portland crime
has decreased s'.nce we began to
enforce the curfew law. This is
being done not so much to keep
the boys and girls off the streets
as it is to Impress' upon the par
ents the need of their guidance."
Otto Hoppes presided a3 chair
man of the day. Lion Stevenson
sang "Salem," a booster song,
with the club joining in the
chorus. Representatives of the
other luncheon clubs were present
as special guests.

Attempt Made to Buy Court
House Grounds for Bus
iness Buildings
Marion county voters will prob
ably be given an opportunity to
choose a new modern court house
at no cost to tnemse'rves at the
May primaries, according to Carl
Webb, representing a number of
prominent business men who are
desirous of obtaining the present
court house grounds tor the erec
tion of what they feel to be a need
ed business section.
The proposal, as set forth by
Mr. Webb, is to have the present
court house grounds appraised and
then to acquire other property
and erect a new court house and
offer it to the county at an even
trade. The new court house would
be centrally located and in a good
I location. Several sites are avail
able, Mr. Webb said last night,
but he refused to divulge their
location.
Mr. Webb and his associates are
sincere in their efforts to purchase
the court house grounds. They
point out that the present build
ing is old and will have to be re
placed by a new building in the
future. The men would place rig
id building restrictions upon the
property and only a certain type
of high-class building would be
erected.
Mr. Webb recently sounded out
the county court regarding the
plan. Both County Judge W. H.
Downing and the commissioners
agreed that they had no power to
act without first obtaining the
sanction of the people. The coun
ty court agreed that the plan was
a good one but that they were
powerless to act, according to Mr.
Webb.
That the famous Salem civic
center would not be destroyed by
the replacement of the court house
with a business block is the con
tention made by Mr. Webb, who
