Financial Aspects of Munic
ipal Ownership Proposal
Are Analyzed
.System Should Pay for Itself
In 20 Years at Present
Rate of Income .
If the city of Salem - should
lake over the water utility and
'operate it as economically as the
Oregon-Washington Water Serv
ice company has done In the last
year and one-half, it would be
possible for the city to pay for
th system out of the earnings in
20 years provided also that the
present rates were maintained
and that the taxation laws were
sot changed so that ..municipally
owned utilities became taxable.
This Is the conclusion reached
fn an analysis of financial as
pects of the proposed purchase or
condemnation of the system, pre
pared at The Statesman,' re
quest' by Fred H. Paulua, deputy
state treasurer.
Ownerships Favored
Vlth Reservations
The analysis Is based solely on
figures available in various de
partments at the statehouse, and
Mr. Paulus did not include there
in his personal views, but stated
after completing -it that he fav
ored municipal ownership with
the qualification that the city
council should make a thorough
V ivestlgation into the condition
tf the water system and find that
ile need for replacements is not
too extensive. He also took occa
sion to correct an unintentional
misquotation of his previous re
marks on the subject... His analy
sis follows:
"In case the city should even

Abolishment Found Impossi

LONDON Feb. 11 (AP) Al
though the Anglo-American effort

high seas was thwarted today by
the opposition of France and Ja
pan, the five nations represented
at the London naval conference,
sitting in formal plenary session,
voiced complete agreement to
outlaw barbarous activity.
They launched a definite con
ference program toward this ob
jective which delegates hope will
be the beginning of the end of the
wartime horror and peacetime
death trap of the oceans. Briefly,
the sea powers declared their
stand on submarines as follows:
Italy supported abolition In

tic redaction in other classes of
warships.

Great Britain, through A. V.
Alexander, first lord of the ad

general interests of humanity,
based on the war time terror of
the submarine and Its peace time
calamities.
Stlmson Takes Strong -Stand
Against Sub
Colonel Henry L. Stlmson of
the United States delegation sup
ported Mr. Alexander and later
presented a constructive proposal
for restricting submarine war
fare. The most tensely dramatic
moment of the session came when
Secretary Stlmson declared: "The
use of the submarine in the world
war revolted the conscience of
the world, and the threat of its
unrestricted use against merchant
ships was what finally determined
the entry of my own country into
the conflict.
France maintained that the
lesser naval powers could not do
without submarines; that the
submarine was only a death deal
ing instrument like all other war
ships, and like other warships,
could and should be regulated
and limited.

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 11.
(AP) Representative Oregon
citizens, called by Governor A. W.
Norblad to Portland today for the
first economic conference held in
the west since President Hoover
set the pace several weeks ago,

bilities of growth and develop
ment and laid the foundations for
a permanent economic body which
is expected in the future to ad
vise how best to keep the wheels
of progress and Industry rolling.
At the conference Governor
Norblad told the 60 or more rep
resentatives that "prosperity de
pends upon, the circulation of
money, and I believe as does the
president, who has prescribed
construction in large doses' for
the business structure."
The governor outlined the po
sition and resources of the state,
then threw the meeting open to
discussion.
Nearly Hundred Million
Spent On Construction
George B. Herington, executive
secretary of the Portland chapter,
Associated General - Contractors
of America, declared Oregon will
spend 194,934,200 in construc
tion during 1930, exclusive of
public improvements before the
people for approval at coming
elections. -
A suggestion by C. C. Colt, con
ference chairman, for the ap
pointment by the governor of a
permanent body of 20 or more
men to be called the Oregon eco
nomic advisory board was an
swered by the state's executive in
the affirmative. "I shall appoint
such a committee by the end of
the week," the governor said.
The members of the committee.
according to a resolution adopted
"shall be selected as to "he pro
gressive and intelligent apprecla-
lion of economic standards and
tendencies and - their-1 exeeu tire
ability . . . to lay plans to ad
vance and make certain the pro
per functioning of the various
steps toward executing the com
mitted and probable construction
projects available now and here
after." ...
The board will serve without

Chicago showed today that it
meant buisness against crime.
The Cook county grand jury
swung into action to back up the
sweeping drives conducted by city

heavy hand on nearly a score of

today. Indictments were reported
to have been returned against 19
men alleged to live by pistol and
machine gun and bond on each
was filed at $10,000.
Meanwhile, spurred by public
indignation at the recent outburst
of murder and bombings, police
continued to comb the half-world
and by sunset had ferreted out an
other 800 hoodlums and gang
sters. The total lnmeshed in police
toils and brought to the bureau of
identification since the city-wide
clean-up started Saturday is ex
pected to reach 2,000 -by tomor-

STUDENTS TOLD OF
PRINCIPAL S PLANS
Salem High School Pupils
Warned to Cease Hood
' lum Activities
Salem high school students can
produce a quiet assembly. That
was clearly 'demonstrated yester
day when Principal Fred Wolf
called a special assembly to tell
students of the plan he had de
vised to keep assembly noises at
a minimum.
In a determined manner the
principal told the students that
he would no longer allow the in
sulting conduct which has char
acterized previous assemblies, and
said that regardless of what the
students thought of him, he was
going to see that all talking was
stopped and that In future, there
should be no vacant seats during
assembly.
To make sure of these require
ments, he announced that he
would place a teacher every
fourth row In the assembly, the
Instructor to report any talking
and the students found so doing
to be confined to a smaller study
hall for the -rest of the. year.
Teachers were assigned to their
positions and the 150 or so stu
dents who hare been standing up
asked to find seats, .further,
upon dismissal teachers are to
march out ahead of the students.
That the plan is going to be a
success was predicted following
the orderly assembly yesterday.
Students even gave hearty ap
plause at dismissal as teachers
left the room ahead of them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.

today at unexpected opposition to
his nomination as chief justice of
the United States developed and
forced over until tomorrow a vote

Senator Borah, republican, Ida

EHEED EXPLIS
BECENT PURCHASES
Hugh Rogers Assumes En
tire flesponsibi!ity for
Buying Manholes
Entire responsibilty for the
transaction- whereby three man
holes and one extra cover made
by the W. W. Rosebraugh com
pany were purchased by the city
through a third party, is claimed
by Hugh Rogers, city engineer,
who Tuesday branded attacks
made by the afternoon newspaper
on Alderman Rosebraugh in this
connection as unwarranted.
The three manholes were used
in extending the Market street
sewer to serve the Reid-Murdoch
plant, Mr. Rogers explained; and
he obtained them indirectly from
the Rosebraugh foundry because
the type of manholes used on this
sewer line could not be obtained,
at least on short notice, from the
Salem Iron Works. The manhole
cover was purchase for a similar
reason to replace one near Ferry
and Church streets which had been
broken.
Mr. Rogers said he bought
these supplies through A. H.
Moore, because Superintendent
Colling of the Rosebraugh found
ry refused to sell them direct to
the city, citing the charter pro
vision which prohibits council
members from transacting busi
ness with the city.
As to whether this method of
procedure was ethical or not Mr.
Rogers said he was not worrying,
inasmuch as the parties who are
so indignant over this bill of ap
proximately $45 remained silent
while Mayor Livesley rented space
In his building to the city for ap
proximately a year and a half.
"I don't owe Mr. Rosebraugh
any favors, but I bay supplies
when I need them and where I
can get them," the city engineer
concluded.

Prohibition O. K.
Declares Edison
Ultimate Enforcement to Be Achieved in Opin
ion of Science Wizard; Opinions Written
on Birthday for Newspapermen
FORT MYERS, Fla., Feb. 11. (AP) Emphatic opinions
on prohibition, disarmament negotiations, science and
invention were scribbled with a stubby pencil here today by
Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wizard, celebrating his 83rd
birthday and answering ques-V
tions from newspapermen.
Mr. Edison believes that abso
lute prohibition eventually will
be enforced in the United States
and that manufacture of light
wines and beer in the home
through modification of the Vol
stead act 'would not aid temper
ance. The Inventor said that the
age of fully automatic machinery
would find the laborer with a
home and many new things-providing
alcohol does not intervene.
Faith Expressed In
Disarmament Confab
Belief that the London disarm
ament conference will "arrive at
a sane compact to limit future
troubles," was expressed by Mr.
Edison. He cautioned, however,
that developments in electrical
and poisonous destructive ele
ments have ' not made a future
world war impossible or improb
able. The aged inventor, somewhat
failing in health, but still active
and alert, answered more than 20
questions.
Asked regarding his health,
and how old he actually felt, Mr.
Edison's eyes twinkled as he re
plied that he "generally felt 60
years, but lately some microbes
have spotted me andv done some
experimenting with my internal
machinery, so I feel about 85."
Mr. Edison who is recovering
from a recent attack of pneumon
ia, appeared to be in only fair
health.

NEW YORK. Feb. 11 AP)
Twenty-four hours after raid

prohibition agents tonight des

tel, In f 3rd street, and the near- j.
by Cavanaugh's restaurant, one
of the oldest and best known dic

Four prohibition agents who
had been living in the Cornish
Arms since January 1, swore out
10 warrants before United State
Commissioner Francis O'Neill
and nine agents and three feder
al marshals went to the hotel
with the warrants.
At the same time, nine other
agents, not armed with warrants,
raided Cavanaugh's.
One More Warrant
Remains to be Served
Nine of the ten warrants for
persons in the Cornish Arms were
served toiitght. The tenth war
rant was for John P. Murray, des
cribed by Major Maurice Camp
bell, prohibition administrator
for the New York district, as a
receiver tor the hotel, which is
In bankruptcy.
Murray has been in Florida for
the last five weeks. Major Camp
bell said, adding that he expect
ed him to be served there short
ly by a federal district marshal.
Two of the nine men arrested
at the hotel were described, by
Major Campbell as the hotel bar
ber and the hotel bootlegger. The
others were bellboys and waiters.
Major Campbell said he had a
much stronger case against thi
Cornish Arms than against ISO
manager, raided last night, siaee,
he said, the bellboys had accepted
money for liquor and made deliv
eries. He added that he would
seek to have the hotel entirely
padlocked, not merely the reams
in which the alleged offenses
were committed.
The prohibition administrator
issued a warning to other hotels
to cease liquor sales under pain ,
of badlock proceedings, if they do
not, he also threatened to pad
lock restaurants and night clubs
which serve "accessories" to pa
trons who bring their own liquor.
He announced that irom now
on persons who drink or display
liquor publicly in restaurants and
night clubs, would be arrested by
federal agents. Heretofore, b
pointed out, such arrests have
not been made, but from now on
such persons "must be prepared
to accept the consequences of
their law violations."
