Oregon, a state which itself is not

of teachers.

school board vdted a slight in

The dominant note of his speech
was that Italy .wished friendship
with all -other '-countries, but at
the same time that she must be
ready not to permit anybody to
step on her toes.
The premier was unusually mod-

Proposal to Keep Power

SOME OPPOSING VIEWS
Effort to Block Hydro-Electric De

and Wrong by Minority
Group at Meeting
Members of the Salem Rod and
Gun club present at last night's
meeting voted to support the ini
tiative bill which is to be spon
sored by the Oregon Game Protec
tive association, creating fish res
ervation on four Oregon rivers,
the McKensie. Deschutes, Rogue
and North Umpqua, with the idea
of preventing hydro-electric de
velopment on these streams.
Representatives of the local
club will attend a meeting in
Portland June 11. at which plans
for putting this measure on the
ballot in November will be out
lined. They voted to include all
four rivers in one bill. It has
been suggested as an alternative
plan to make each, fish reserve
proposal a separate bill.
Urge Saving Resource
The desirability of this move
was stressed by two members who
were present at the meeting of
the state organization in Ashland
recently. D. H. Mosher and Chris
Kowitz.
They declared that the streams;
in question are not now needed I
for power, and that if power dams

Now the bowling alley men

BIG PINE, Cal., June 5. (AP)
A twenty-five foot wall of water
which rushed out of Big Pine
creek canyon early . today after
being dammed up behind an earth
landslide, is believed to have
swept two men and a boy to their
deaths in a torrent that flooded
this Owens valley town with , a
foot of water.
The missing - persona, believed
to have been drowned near their
camp on Sage Flats, were Identi
fied late today as Lee. Wiggins,
39, Los Angeles, his 14 year old
son William, and R. H. Rhine of
Long Beach.
Wiggins and his son climbed on
top of their automobile when the
roar of the oncoming flood awak
ened them early in the morning.
X log which struck the car
knocked them into the' torrent.
The bodies of the missing men
have not been recovered.
F. M. Ritchie of Ventura, an
other camper in the canyon, es
caped from the torrent although
he was injured seriously. A
physician who treated him here
said he would recover.
The landslide which caused tnejdis-, Tota, 2'"
creek waters to form a lake was
believed to have slipped into the
canyon some time yesterday. The
backed up waters which flow from
the melting snows of the high
Sierras, pushed out the earth fill
in the early morning, rushing
down in a wall which evidence in
dicated was fully 25 feet high.

RIVER LEVEL NOW ZERO
Willamette Reaches That Figure
For First Time This Tear
The level of the Willamette
river was down to the zero mark
yesterday afternoon for the first
time since last summer.
Readings on the government
gauge, which is fastened to the
concrete support under the east
end of the Marion-Polk county
bridge, have gone up to moderate
flood stage twice this year. The
river went on a rampage early in
January, reaching a point 13.9
above zero on January 4. but rose
still farther in March. On the
twelfth of that month the read
ing was exactly 15 feet above
zero.
Barring unexpected weather de
velopments the river level will
now continue to drop slowly until
next fall, but will not go so low
as last year due o the greater
amount of snow In the mountains.
It Is expected that the river may
drop as much as two feet -below
ero this summer.

KANSAS CITY, June 5 (AP)
-Another run of victories for
Herbert Hoover in contests decid
ed today by the republican nation
al committee Increased his string
of tare delegates in next week's
convention by. 22, twice the total
bagged for" him at yesterday's
hearings.
In two days the republican na
tional committee has disposed of
half of the convention delegate
contests on its calendar. Chairman
Butler announced tonight he
would seek to wind up the hear
ings by Thursday night.
Contests ruled on thus far are:
Florida Four at large and five
district delegates. Total 9.
Kentucky First district, two
delegates.
Georgia Fifth district, one
delegate
Louisiana -eight

Total 12.

Those still on the calendar for
review are:
South Carolina Four at large.
Tennessee Third and tenth
districts. Total 3.
Texas Four at large and 22
district delegates. Total 26.
Porto Rico Two delegates.
The consistent voting of Chair
man William M, Butler, during
hearings of the republican nation
al committee of contested dele
gates against the forces friendly to
Herbert Hoover and the failure
thus far of the explosive farm re
lief issue to take a definite trend
on convention ground stood out
tonight in preliminary conven
tion talk among those who next
week will select a party nominee.
The position of Chairman But
ler, as well as Charles D. Hilles,
national committeeman for New
York, both of whom voted repeat
edly to seat uninstructed delegate
as against those pledged to the
commerce secretary, was the sub
ject of much discussion in which
varying views were expressed as to
the reason for their stand.
One group held that the chair
man's position was based solely
npon the Issues involved in the
contests. Another insisted that
back of his stand lies the thought
that by clipping Mr. Hoover's
wings a move to draft President
Coolidge may eventuate.
Butler is an old friend of Mr!
Coolidge and until some months
ago was always credited with fav
oring another term for the presi
dent. Recently, however, he has

RAINIER, Ore.. June 5. -(AP)
naioier was nosi ioaay 10 me
Oregon state grange, assembled
for its 55th annual session. More
than half the thousand grangers
expected, attended today's meet
ing. The convention will last four
days.
George Palmiter of Hood River,
state grange master, addressed the
assemblv todav. analvzlnr the
problems of farmers, dwellingj
largely on taxation, ana aescriD-
ing the growth of the Oregon
grange. He concluded his speech
with a plea for increased coopera
tion and membership.
Agriculture, Palmiter said, is
"the biggest thing in the world.
It produces one-third of the na
tional income, and receives only
one-tenth as its share. Something
must be wrong when the farmer
is forced to take such a small
share for his production. Indus
tries and labor, producing two
thirds of the national income, re
ceive nine-tenths in return."
Says Protection Needed
"The trouble." Palmiter de
clared, "is that industry "and labor
are protected. Farmers are not,
and they never will be as long as
they remain unorganized."
In urging cooperation, Palmiter
said approximately thirty cents of!
the consumer's dollar is returned
to the farmer. Present freight
rates, he said, are unfair to agri
culture because they are based
largely upon the weight of the
commodity, with the value receiv
ing little consideration.
In touching upon taxation. Pal
miter said: "All taxes should be
levied on ability to pay, for any
other basis means simply confisca
tion. There is plenty of wealth in
Oregon to pay all taxes without
placing a burden upon anyone."
Adjustment Asked
He advocated an income tax, re
assessment of all real and personal
property on an equalable basis, an
excess corporate tax, and a tax on
intangibles. He urged adoption
of a definite program of reforesta
tion and reaffirmed bis belief that
