The memorial was approved in the - senate with one dissenting vote. Senators Moser and Hunter spoke briefly in favor of the me morial, while Senator Norblad opposed it. In presenting the memorial Sen ator Hunter said the people of Eastern " Oregon were deeply in t pr'ri in, the bridge project, and hoped that no structure would be -orited which would interfere with commerce in the Columbia river. Senator Moser said that reports received from Washington indi cated that the bridge would be authorized by congress, and that the only question at issue at the .present time was that of provid ing safeguards which would insure against interference with naviga tion in the Columbia river. He said the port of Portland had pledged itself to pay the costs of all "of these safeguards in event the plana and specifications for the structure were not satisfac tory to the port district. "The memorial is fair." said Senator Mdser. "and should have the support of every member of thU senate." Senator Norblad said it would be a mistake to adopt the memor ial, lie averred, that the city ot Portland apparently was opposed to. the construction of any.. hridgs across the Columbia river at Long- view, in that it feared that such a span would detract traffic from that,' city. "If la my opinion," said Senator Norblad,. "that the Longview bridge would not harm Portland nor any other section of the state of Oregon. On the contrary it would stimulate traffic and open lip a vast empire at the mouth of the Columbia river." Senator Norblad concluded his remarks by stating that he sus pected there was a 'nigger In the wood pile.' This was denied by Senator Mo ser who declared that the large majority of Portland people favor ed 'construction of the proposed bridge,, but. were insistent that commerce in the Columbia river Should' be safeguarded.

E. Delzell, formerly an ex officio member of the parole board as private secretary to Gov ernor Walter M. Pierce, in an ad dress before' the Salem Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. Oregon's constitution provides that the penal laws be adminis tered for reformatory purposes, not In a vindictive spirit, Dilzell declared. Persons who are sent enced to prison terms are mueh like any other group! of people, and there comes a time in the term of most convicts; when they are truly reformed. ; If paroled then, they may be saved to society, if forced under those, conditions to serve out their terms, they will be discharged usually as hardened criminals, Delzell said. ' The parole is open only to first offenders and persons not convict ed of crimes of violence. Delzell pointed out. That the system is a success, is shown by the fact that 85 per cent of the convicts paroled ''make good," only l per cent violating parole in such a way that they must be returned to the institution. Frank McCravy, singing evange list, was the entertainment feature of the luncheon, which was at tended by a number of Kiwanians from other parts of the, state, here attending the legislature.

"Neither the Crisp nor the As well bill provides means to main tain a domestic price Independent of the world price on any com modity, when it is necessary; the Haugen bill does. "The Haugen bill is the only one that lays the basis for a per manent continuing policy for farm marketing. The Crisp bill is drawn to function only as 'emer-1 gencies develop. The Aswell bill turns the marketing over to gov ernment corporations. Complete political control is established by both the Crisp and Aswell bills: in the Haugen hill, farmer control is provided. "Neither the Crisp nor Aswell bills provide means for placing a restraint . on o v e r production through an equalization fee. The Haugen bill does."

CONGRESS ARGUES OVER COGLIDGE'S ATTITUDE ft. (Coatiaufed Item page I) countries bordering on the Pan ama canal. Representative Huddlestoh. in attacking the president's policy, reiterated that America is "delib erately and consciously drifting into war with Mexico." Ite assert ed that President Coolidge had brought Mexico into his message for no other purpose than to "put her in a bad light." Mr. Coolidge sent the message to congress, the Alabaman said, "to back up the charge that Mexico is a bolshevist government." The landing of American forces in Nicaragua was characterized "as the most deplorable event in the last century," by Representa tive Lozier, who added: "Within the past few weeks good work of past secretaries of state has been destroyed and we are flaunting in the face of the Latin-American republics a big stick. The president has heeded the cry of big business men in Nicaragua and Mexico. He has landed marines and now is await ing some overt act on which to predicate a' declaration of war." Representative Wood decried the talk of war and asserted his belief that "there is no danger if the governments of Mexico and Nicaragua heed the warning." TRY US FIRST SALEM HARDWARE CO. Inc.
