APPROVE CHANGE
OF MANAGEMENT
SENATE VOTES TO TRANSFER
CONTROL TO BOARD
Staples Opposes Malheur Salary
Bill; School Clerk Sal
ary Favored
A series of five bills recom
mended by Governor Patterson
transferring the management of
the Oregon state penitentiary
from the executive department to
the state board of control, were
approved by the senate yesterday.
One of the bills provides that
the title of the warden shall be
changed to superintendent, and
that he shall be known as the ex
ecutive head of the institution.
Other .bills vest in the state board
of control the same authority in
managing the prison as is now
imposed in the governor. Chief
opposition to the bills was voiced
by Senator Klepper who questioned-
the sincerety of Governor Pat
terson in connection with his pre
election recommendation that the
penitentiary should be placed un
der the state board of control.
"Instead of removing the prison
from politics you will invite more
politics," Senator Klepper said.
"I do not believe that Governor
Patterson desires that the prison
shall be placed under the board of
control, and we would extend to
him a great favor by defeating
these bills."
Senator Klepper predicted that
in event the prison was transfer
red to the board of control there
would be confusion, and less effic
iency in its opperation.
Senator Moser replied that the
voters of fhe state, by a majority
of approximately 30,000 votes,
had approved the doctrines advo
cated by the governor with rela
tion to his prison policies and
other Issues.
Senator Dunne of Clackamas,
declared that while he regarded
the five prison bills as pure
"bunk" he would vote for them
out of respect tor Governor Pat
terson. Twenty-one senators voted for
the first of the five prison bills.
Senators who opposed the bills
were Brown, carsner, 't Hunter,
Klepper and Strayer.
No opposition was voiced in con
nection with Senator Hall's .bill
giving school districts of the third
class authority to fix the amxi
mum annual salary of school
cleTks at $50.
Senator Staples voted against a
bill introduced by Senator Davis
authorizing an increase in the
salary of the treasurer of Mal
heur county from $1200 to $1500
a year.

of common prayer will still be
available."

EXCEEDINGLY CLOSE
'Old Ironsides" Characters Used
By Youthful Players
Last Night
Interest is at high pitch in the
Paramount Junior Star contest
which is being held at the Oregon
theatre. Enthusiasm ran high last
night and the contest was ex
tremely close as many aching
hands will testify. So close was
the contest that after 20 minutes
of almost constant clapping, Di
rector Bunce decided to give three
of the young ladies a chance to
compete in the finals tonight. The
lucky young ladies were Hulda
Hammond. Elizabeth Blackwell
and Versa Purdy.
The scenes enacted last night
were taken from Paramount's pro
duction "Old Ironsides" and each
contestant was placed in roles im
personating such characters "as
Ester Rolston and others. Direct
or Bunce says you can n olonger
say that Salem is without talent.
Each contestant did their best and
the ready wit helped to carry the
scenes into actual realism, which
was greatly appreciated by the
audience.
Tonight tells the tale as to who
will represent Salem and win the
trip to Hollywood, which is of
fered free by the Paramount
Studios, Bell Line Stages. Oregon
theatre and Oregon Statesman.
M. T. Shire, president" of the Bell

the winner of tonight's contest on
her trip.
This afternoon semi-finals will
be held with the following con

take place with the applause of
the audience deciding the winner
of the contest.

NEW ROAD BILLS

"RULES OF THE ROAD" GET
ADDED EMBELLISHMENTS
New Law to Tone Up Old Provis
ions Concerning All Anto
Lights
If house bill 126 is passed the
law known as "Rules of the Road"
is in for a thorough going over.
Changes in the law will be many.
but are not considered drastic, and
are nearly all made to promote
safety on the highways.
Automobiles will be required to
stay at a safe distance, behind the
car preceding it and trucks must
stay at least 100 feet behind, ex
cept in overtaking and passing.
Motorists will be required to drive
to the right of the street or road
and stop if police or fire depart
ment vehicles are approaching. It
will be unlawful to coast down
hills with the gear in neutral. No
one will be allowed to advertise
or cause to be advertised an event
where automobiles are to be driv
en at speed in excess of the' lawful
speed limit. This covers demon
stratioons. Persons will be re
quired to drive at careful speeds
at all times, and certain speeds
are designated for certain condi
tions. The new law will require
the use of mufflers at all times
and prohibit the use of cut outs.
Accidents that occur outside of
corporate limits of cities must be
reported to the secretary of state
if the damage done is in excess of
$50. Garage and repair men will
be required to report damaged
cars that come into their shops.
A great many changes are to be
made that will take care of pro
visions made in other bills that
have already been introduced and
bills that are contemplated for in
troduction. Brighter lights than ever will
be seen on the highways at night
in the provisions of a bill intro
duced in the house yesterday

that the lights shall be dimmed

SALARY BOOSTS AIRED
House Bill Provides For Some In
creases By Commissioners
The question of salary increase
is still simmering in the house.
At the present time the salaries
of county officials are fixed by the
state legislature, which is con
sidered by many to be unsatisfac
tory. Any increases in these sal
aries are a local matter and
could be handled to give greater
satisfaction by a local body.
House bill No. 137, introduced
yesterday morning calls for an act
to fix salaries of county officials
by county courts or boards of com
missioners. The act further provides that
county courts and boards of com
missioners may refer these in
creases to the people, but it is not
compulsory to refer them, except
in the case of the county judge
and commissioners.

State Health Department and
Bureau of Child Hygiene
Slated for Investigation
To Determine Value
The joint ways and means com
mittee last night discontinued the
nursing bureau and the American
ization department of the state
government, whose appropriations
in the past biennium aggregated
more than $22,000.
The committee further author
ized a new committee for investi
gation of the state board of
health's operations, in hopes of
reducing materially the appropri
ation of $75,000 the board has re
quested. The operation of the state bu
reau of child ""hygiene will be in
vestigated by a committee con
sisting of Representatives Pierce
and Bronaugh and Senator Butt,
appointed last night. The ap
pointment was made after a mo
tion to discontinue the bureau bad
been blocked by a decision to in
vestigate. A similar investigation is to be
made of the state child welfare
commission and board of inspec
tors of child labor before appro
priations for these departments are
authorized for the current bien
nium. The child welfare com
mission had asked for an, appro
priation of $20,000 while .the
board of inspectors of child labor
had requested $7500. Several
members of the committee Indi
cated that they would vote to dis
continue the activities of both of
these departments.
An appropriation of $40,000 for
the board of vocational education
was deferred pending an investi
gation of the department by Sen
ator Strayer.
The committee went on record
favoring a discontinuance of the
appropriation of $2400 for the
board of pilot commissioners, with
a view of making the department
self sustaining.
The appropriation of $419,000
recommended by the state budget
commission for the operation Of
the state penitentiary was allowed
in full. Thi3 appropriation in
cludes $50,000 with which to in
stall a fireproof cell block. It was
reported to the committee that the
flax plant at the prison now has
stock on band valued at $250,000,
while state funds tied up in the
institution total $225,000. The
committee deferred action on a re
quest for legislation authorizing
the board of control to borrow
funds on stock on hand in the state
flax plant-
Following a lengthy debate the
committee decided to hold another
conference with the public service
commission in hope that legisla
tion may be enacted whereby the
-department would operate without
cost to the state. It was proposed
that a tax be levied against public
utilities under the jurisdiction of
the commission sufficient to pay
the costs of operation. The com
mission had requested an appro
priation of $118,000, of which
amount more than $70,000 would
be .returned in fees to the state.
The budget of the sealer of
weights and measures was reduced
from $11,820 to. $7020..
An appropriation of $2,000
authorized by the budget commis
sion for the support of the state
board of conciliation was cut to
$1500.
The appropriation of the state
dairy and food commissioner in
the amount of $58,340 was allow
ed in full.
An appropriation of $45,000,
known as the predatory animal
hunters' fund, was eliminated by
