HE FLOOD BILL
Problem Looms Up On Floor
: of House for First Time
Yesterday
WASHINGTON. April 17.
(AP) The Mississippi flood con
trol problem reached the house
floor for the first time today and
with the opening of debate on the
$325,000,000 senate flood meas
ure was orershadowed by the last
minute mov.e by house republican
leaders to revise its provisions to
conform more closely to the views
of President Coolidge.
While this was taking place at
the capitol. it was disclosed that
Mr. Coolidge regarded the billas
the mos textortlonate measure
ever passed by either branch, of
congress during his administra
tion and that he felt it would cost
the government nearer $1,400,
000.000 than the amount it pro
posed to authorize for the control
work.
The president objects specifi
cally to the provision that the fed
eral government pay for the lands
that; would be needed for levee
and spillway construction work
and it was toward this provision
that honse leaders bent their ef
forts late today in
reaching an agreement.
After the bill had been debated
for four hours adjournment was
taken and another conference, the
second for the day. was held in
Speaker Longworth's office.

SOCIALISTS SELECT
NOT CANDIDATES
II
Men Nominated for Presi
dent and Vice President
of United States
NEW YORK, April 17. (AP)
Norman Thomas of New York
and James Hudson Maurer of
Reading. Pa., were nominated Mon
day by the socialist party as its
candidates for president and vice
president, respectively, in the No
vember election.
Prolonged cheering by delegates
was heard after both men were
nominated by acclamation at the
party's five day convention at
Finnish hall in Harlem. Thomas'
name was proposed by Louis Wald-
man of New York while William
J. Van Effen of Pittsburgh placed
Maurer in nomination.
Both men have been long iden
tified with the osclallst movements
Thomas as the party's candidate
for state and city offices In New
York and Maurer as a veteran
member of its national committee.
Thomas already has been a so
cialist candidate three times for
public office and has worked for
socialism throughout his career as
a protestant clergyman, editor and
lecturer.
He was defeated as the socialist
candidate for governor of New
York in 1924 and as socialist can
didate for mayor of New York In
1925 and lost for alderman here
last year.
. Maurer, a shoemaker's son who
started work at the age of 9 after
)less than two years attendance at
school, has written- two bookc
dealing with International ques
tions and has contributed to va-
4rious magazines.
s
Another step was taken yester
day In the progress of reducing
the number of poles and other
structures on the streets of Salem
wherever possible, by the removal
of three poles at the intersection
of Liberty and Chemeketa streets
by the Portland Electric Power
company.
This reduction in the number of
poles at this Intersection was
made possible by the removal of
the Street Railway company's trol
ley wire and a rearrangement of
the street lighting circuit, which,
under permission granted by the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company, was attached to their
long distance telephone pole lo
cated on the same intersection.
The old type street lighting fix
ture .was also replaced with a new
type, ornamental wrought iron
and pipe bracket. These changes
will much improve the appear
ances of this street intersection.
The power company officials
advise that they and the telephone
company are endeavoring at all
times to reduce the number of
poles on the streets wherever pos
sible, and almost every week sees
some progress made along this
line.
They point out that, unfortun
ately, additions are being made
from time to time In which there
are no alleys, thus making It nec
essary In such additions to place
the poles in the streets.
