IT ARGUMENT
Solons Closely Divided Over
Legal Right of Mellon
to Retain Office
(Continued from Pare 1.)
He contended the law should be
enforced unless it Is modified or
repealed. In that connection he re.
ferred to the recent appeal of
President Hoover for law enforce,
meat and suggested that this "sen.
j tlment should be our guiding
f star."
Attorney General'
Opinion Referred To
Other republican members of
the committee countened with ref
erence to the .opinion given by At
torney General Mitchell to Pres
ident Hoover, which held that
there was no doubt of the legal
qualification of Mr. Mellon to
serve as secretary of the treasury
a post he has held for eight
years.
The report was submitted by
Senator Norris in response to the
resolution of Senator McKellar,
democrat, Tennessee, directing
the judiciary committee to inquire
into the right of Mr. Mellon to
serve. Two other points raised by
that resolution were dismissed un
animously by the committee.
. Senator Norris intends to place
Hii3 report before the senate as a
minority report by the committee
if a majority refuses to endorse
( it. This will put the issue up to
the senate.

for the industries, which will ag
gregate a considerable sum.
The 100 blocks of paving and
the additional alleys to be im
proved in the same way, with va
rious repair projects tnrougnoui
the city will take not far from
$200,000 during the current year.
Bridge Program Calls
For Heavy Outlay
The finishing of the new city
bridges, together with several pro
jects of this kind yet to be under
taken, will require the expendi
ture of over $100,000 beyond
what has already been paid out
on this program.
The new grand stand and the
exhibition quarters in connection
therewith, together with minor
improvements, all to be complet
ed before the date of the opening
of the fair this fall, will require
the expenditure of over $150,000.
The work of tearing away the old
wooden grand stand, to make
tnr a nart of the new steel
and concrete structure that will
occupy that and a great deal more
space, is already under way.
Telephone Expectations to
Be Very Heavy
The telephone company will
spend In -construction work in Sa
lem the present year something
like $500,000, including the $300,
000 office building the ground for!
which has already been cleared,
the building of underground con
duits for cable lines, the new of
fice equipment, and various other
Changes that will become neces-j
sary in making Salem one of the
telephone operation centers of the
northwest.
Nearly $100,000 is going into

As a result of the war with

pled with no carry-over from the

believes, to bring a fair demand
for prunes.
Loganberries may appear to be
the hardest fruit to market in
Paulus' opinion, the demand being
light while production, fortunate
ly, is not as heavy as In former
years.
Slight rains which fell here Sat

whatever and with the wind In

fear that the disastrous blooming

Carbon produced by the fuel is al
