Petitions Circulated Shortly
Calling for Bond Issue
Of $1,200,000
Elimination of all preliminary
steps and an immediate vote on
the final tssae of municipal own
ership of the water utility. Is now
the aim of the Hollywood com
munity club in its initiative pro
gram. It was announced Wednes
day night.
Preparation of a proposed
charter amendment to be submit
ted to the voters of Salem
through the Initiative, authorizing
& bond issue of $1,200,000 for
the acquisition of a municipally
owned water system, was virtual
ly completed, according to re
ports, and petitions will be in cir
culation not later than Friday
morning.
Change In Plans
Caasea Borne Delay
Following the city councils
failure to pass the referendum
measure, calling for an appraisal
of the water system, over the
mayor's veto Monday night, it was
anticipated that the initiative
would be invoked Immediately on
that particular measure which
called for a $7000 bond issue.
Delay .In starting the initiative
movement has been due to the re
vision of plans and the fact that
the new proposal required a con
siderable amount of legal re
search. Drafting of the new char
ter amendment proposal has been
In the hands of a group of attor
ney Interested In the movement.
Council Would Be
Obliged to Proceed
The plan as now outlined calls
for a vote at the May 1 election
on the $1,200,000 bond Issue and
a provision that if the measure
carries, the city council is obli
gated to proceed at once with ne
gotiation! for purchase or con
demnation of the water utility, or
construction of a new system.
After that Is done, the opera
tion of the municipally owned
plant is to be in the hands of a
water board which will be elected
by the people and entirely Inde
pendent of the city council. The
board will consist of five mem
bers, three elected for four year
terms and two for two year terms
In November of this year and sub
sequent elections to be for four
year terms so that two or three
members of the board will be
chosen every second year.
Only One Election
Now Made Necessary
This plan eliminates the neces
sity for two elections to bring
about municipal ownership but it
also entails a vigorous campaign
of education between now and
Mav 18. to show the voters that
although they are asked to ap
prove a large issue of bonds, this
will in no way increase taxes, as
the bonds are to be retired out of
earnings of the water system.
Figures available on the pres
ent earnings of the Oregon-Wash
inrton Water Service company on
the Salem plant indicate that this
would be possible without in
crease In rates and) that within
10 years the city would own the
water system debt free after
which the rates could be materi
ally reduced.
Officers of the Hollywood club
have been advised that the initia
tive petitions will require only
approximately 700 signatures, and
they are confident of obtaining
more than the required number
In the few days remaining before
the petitions must be filed.

To Cope With Situation

j Indians Successfully Defy
Government Monopoly
Despite Arrests
JALALPTJR. India. April t
(AP) A definite act of civil dls-
I obedience the manufacture of
salt by natives of Dandl. Abmad
abad and other communities of
the Indian empire, has given rise
I to an extremely delicate situation
here and has provoked disturb
ances throughout the country.
This disobedience of Indian civil
law was Inspired by Mahatma
Gandhi and a faithful group of
nationalists. Many were arrested.
Salt manufacture in India Is
controlled by the government ex
clusively. The tax on salt Is less
than one farthing a pound, but
the revenue from this source last
year was more than $250,000,-
000.
Government Monopoly
Strenuously Opposed
The nationalist group, headed
by Gandhi, "the holy one," Is
among other things, opposing the
government monopoly of salt.
To make an Issue of the ques
tion, Gandhi and his followers
waded into the tidal marshes of
the Gulf of Cambay near here
and filled pots with the salt sea
water. These were placed in the
sun for evaporation of the water.
The residue of salt was removed

PORTLAND, Ore.. April 9
(AP) The Oregonlan tomorrow
will say it was reliably informed
today that Nelson F. Macduff, su
pervisor of the Cascade national
forest, whose body was found last
Saturday near McKenzie bridge.
55 miles east of Eugene, was shot
from the right Instead of the left
side of the head. The newspaper
will say It was Informed to It as
traces of powder were found in
the brain.
Federal and state authorities
would neither confirm nor deny
the report.
The belief that Macduff was
shot from the left side previously
formed one of the principal argu
ments of investigators who held
to the theory that the supervisor
was murdered. They claimed it
was not logical for a right-handed
man to shoot himself from the
left side. Failure of Investigators
previously to find powder marks
upon the body also was used as
an argument by supporters of the
murder theory.
Macduff disappeared from his
office it McKenzie bridge late
last Friday. When he failed to
appear for dinner, searching par
ties were organized and the body
was found early Saturday in a
thicket at the. side of a mountain
trail . about one half mile from
McKenzie bridge. One cartridge
in the supervisor's pistol had
been; discharged and the weapon
lay under the left armpit of the
recumbent body.
Following discovery of the body.
federal and Lane county author
ities were Joined by Portland po

the death. Authorities immediate

whether the supervisor was mur
dered, committed suicide or was
accidentally killed.
Macduff s body was shipped
here last night from Eugene.

At the present time only about

half of the taxpayers who do not
know their new assessments and a
last minute rash Is predicted as
