STATE COULD SAVE
Oil SURETY BONDS
Reduction in Size Advocat
ed by Homer Smith
Before Rotary
The state of Oregon could make
a considerable savinc by reducing
the surety bonds of a number of
state officials. Homer H. Smith,
Salem insurance man for 32 years,
declared in a talk on "Suretyship"
at the Rotary club luncheon Wed
nesday. The law requires of many
of these officials a bond of double
the amount of funds entrusted to
them, Mr. Smith said.
One of the largest surety bonds
ever paid in Salem, Mr. Smith
stated, this being in the amount
of $500,000. It was in the case
of a state official who was not at
fault except in that he deposited
a large amount of funds in a
small bank which subsequently
failed. The surety company paid
the bond in full and took over the
state's interest as a creditor of the
bank.
Suretyship Old Practice
Suretyship goes back in history
to tho earliest recorded civiliza
tions, Mr. Smith said, relating its
operation among the Sumerians of
ancient Babylonia.
He quoted King Solomon's ad
vice, "He that is surety for a
stranger shall smart for it."
Surety companies list 1500 dif
ferent classes of surety bonds. Mr.
Smith said. The public, he added,
has no Idea of the number of
rurcLy bonds which are paid with
out anything ever being known

Principals of numerous high
schools are being requested by
the Salem high student body to
give reasons why Salem high has
become so unpopular and to sug
gest remedies. The letters are be
ing sent to approximately a dozen
schools including those represent
ed by the strongest teams in the
recent state basketball tourna
ment. The local students admit that
they understand part of the un
popularity but assert that they see
no reason for the major part of
the enmity felt by other schools
for their athletic teams and stu
dents in general. William Lilje

WASHINGTON, Mar. SOJAP)
Congressional cpmmittees.chag
ed with formulating" an adminis
tration farm relief bill will seek
the cooperation of Secretary Hyde
from wh'om they hope to obaJn an
outline of the views of President
Hoover.
Chairman McNary of the senate
committee already has invited the
new head of the agriculture de
partment to appear at public
hearings which are to be started
next week on a senate draft of
the proposed, measure.
Representative Dickinson of
Iowa, one of the republican farm
leaders in the house, called at the.
White House today with a request
that Mr. Hoover have Secretary'
Hyde detail the views of the ad
ministration to the committee.
Party Plans Cited
Several other congressional
leaders recently have discussed
farm relief with the president and
publications as to what occurred
at these conferences led to the
statement today at the White
House that the principles of the
agricultural relief program an
nounced by the republican party
were well known and no doubt
would be formulated Into legisla
tion by the congressional commit
tees. It was reiterated that the pres
ident must maintain the constitu
tional relationship between the
executive and congress and that
he did not propose to write bills
and Impose them upon congress.
When congress has prepared such
bills he will be glad to discuss
their details with house and sen
ate leaders and whether they
square with party pledges.
Message Is Promised
The' chief executive will set
forth his views in a message. to
the special session of congress
which will convene April 15.
It is expected that he will treat
the agricultural subject In much
the way he did during his cam
paign. At that time he interpreted
the Kansas City platform as one
calling for federal aid in taking
care fo the surplus crops through
a farmer owned corporation.
Inclusion in the proposed farm
bill of changes In the federal
warehouse law to give the federal
government a more rlgig control
over warehouse receipts and of a
clause providing a minimum stan
dard for canned fruits and veget
ables was urged upon the presi
dent today by Representatives
Mapes and Ketchum, both repub
licans of Michigan.
Iegislation Incomplete
These proposals were embodied
in measures passed by the house
at the last session, but which
failed to receive action in the sen-
girls will be on duty in the locker
room each class period in the day.
One girl will keep a record of all
students who enter lockers, the
locker opened and time, while the
other will accompany the girl to
the locker. In this manner an ac
curate check will be kept and it is
anticipated will put an end to
stealing. Miss Mabel Robertson,
dean of girls and advisor to the
league, is largely responsible for
the new system, under which girlB
on duty will volunteer their ser
vices. Each class will have charge of
the guard duty for a week's per
iod. Frances Laws, vice-president
of the senior class, is chairman
of the senior service week; Dor
othy Moore, vice-president of the
juniors, is permanent chairman
for that group. A chairman for
the sophomore . group will be ap
pointed shortly by Miss Cecil Mc
Kcrcher, class advisor.

ate. The warehouse project would
remoe the storage establishments
from the Interference of state laws
they said, and they pointed out
that in some states it was pos
sible 4to remove stored crops, thus
weakening th'eir value as collat
eral for loans to the farmers.
They also told the chief execu
tive that under present regula
tions there is no required standard
for canned goods and that fruit
and vegetables of an inferior qual
ity command the same price as
those of a much better quality.
After discussing the legislative
program of the special session
with the president. Representative
Tilson. the republican leader in
the house, said that it still was
the plan to limit legislation to
farm relief and the tariff. He pre.
dieted that these measures could
be disposed of within two or three
months.
FLOOD WASHED
LEIIEFi BULGE
Mississippi Waters Bring
Serious Threat Along
Illinois Shores
QUINCY. 111.. Mar. 20. (AP)
Flood washed levees along the
Mississippi north of Quincy to
night bulged from the strain of
holding back the relentless rise of
the turbid river and sent scores
of families scurrying from the
lowlands.
The situation was described as
dangerous. A fresh wind came up
during the afternoon and little rip
ples lapping at the summits of the
legees grew into waves which
splashed up and over the retaining
walls, eating them further away.
A force of men was kept busy re
inforcing the weakened sections
with sandbags but if the steady
rise continues there was little
hope that the district will be spar
ed. Within the Lima lake district,
comprising 20,000 acres of some
of the finest farm lands In this
section, farmers today began re
moving their livestock, grain and
household furnishings to points of
safety along the bhiff several
miles back from the river.
The Indian grave district levee
also was straining from the on
slaught of of the rising river with
but little hope of withstanding the
pressure If the rise continued.
The South Quincy gardens,
south of the city, including 3,000
acre tract recently improved with
new residences, also was in a per
ilous situation. Many residents
have removed their belongings.
The city of Quincy Itself was In
little danger from the flood wa
ters. FORGERY CHARGED
