(AP) Henry Ford favors Hoover
for president because the latter is
opposed to changing the Eigh
teenth Amendment, the manufac
turer said in a statement to news
papermen at his wayside Inn here.
"The worst thing that could
happen to this country would be
a step backward In Our fight
against liquor," he said. "I am
interested in anything to keep the
18th Amendment as It Is. If
Hoover stands on that belief, and
I am sure he does. I am for him."
Mr. Ford said, he had no fear
of prohibition being repealed.
"Such a change would be a ca
lamity," he declared, "but there
is no possibility of it. As for
present enforcement conditions,
we manage to get along well
enough at Detroit, although we
are. next door to Canada. Per
sonally, I would turn out the army
and nary to stop bootlegging.
But If the law were changed,!
we would have to shut ud our
plants. Everything In the United!
States Is keyed up to a new pace!
which started with prohibition.!
The speed at which we operate!
our motor cars, run our Intricate j
machinery, and generally live
would be impossible with liquor.
No, .there is no chance of even
modification."
Mr. Ford predicted that Edison
would soon discover a rubber sub
stitute
which - would make the
United
States untirely Indepen-jit
dent of foreign rubber plantations.
He said Edison, whom- he visited
last week, has found that a sort of
rubber can be obtained from every
weed that grows. It was the in
ventor's idea to find a weed which
can be sown and reaped every
year, possibly like sugar cane. So
far much success has been - 00

Monday Session ;
State Expected to Make Bid
As Result of Opinion as
to Validity
Sale of 8100.000 worth of
bridge bonds is the biggest item
that appears on the program for
Monday night's meeting of the
city eouneil. This will be the sec
ond 8100,000 block sold of the
8350,000 Issue authorized in the
June, 1927 election for construc
tion of 17 bridges.
While ' many Inquiries about
khese bonds have been received by
Recorder Mark Poulsen. It -is ex
pected that the number of bidders
will be only average,' and city of
fidals are wondering whether this
Issue will bring as large a premi
um as has been obtained for other
bonds sold by the city within re-
eent months, s . - . - f-.-r r, vj:
; Bond Market Slack
The bond market Is reported to
be at a low ebb, a reflection of
call money conditions In Wall
street. The city charter requires
that bonds must be sold at par or
better.
It was predicted, recently; that
the stats of Oregon .would enter
a hid on these bonds. State Treas
urer Kay, recently obtained an
opinion from the attorney general
on the legality, of these bonds,
questioning the fact that they
were not voted by a two-thirds ma
jority. The attorney general ruled that
the bonds are entirely legal as
the Issue came before the voters
In the form of a charter amend
ment, which requires only a ma
jority, and that this new part of
the charter is as binding as any
of its earlier provisions.
.The state has bid on Salem I
bonds a number of times, but has
never been the successful bidder.
One Ordinance Up
Aside from routine ordinances
segregating street assessments,
only one ordinance is coming up
at this council meeting for. final
passage, and. that Is the one pro
posing to increase the rity engi
neers salary from 200 to 275
a month.
This ordinance appeared before
the - council uiflpbnsored by any
or its members, and due to the
fact that It was drawn without
the assistance of the city attorney,
t is believed to be faulty in that
t does not provide for repealing
axisting ordinances with which it
conflicts."
' While some of the councilmen
at least are in favor of granting
tne increase on the ground that
the city engineer's work has ex
panded to the point where it Is
justified. It is expected that this
ordinance will be withdrawn and
a new one prepared to take its
place.
The proposal to put the council-
manager plan charter on the bal
lot will not come up for considera
tion at this meeting, as the joint
committee of the service clubs, the
council and the American Legion
has not completed its considera
tion of changes and additions
which may be deemed advisable.
Vacancy to be Fined
Selection of a councilman to
succeed C. O. Engstrom, repre
sentative of the first ward, who
resigned at the last meeting when
became apparent that his com
pany wouia De awarded: the North
