Senator B. L. Eddy paid an
eloquent tribute to George Washington-
In an address before the
Salem rotarlans yesterday noon.
He was "a pillar of law and or
der" in the senator's estimation,
and 'stood like a rock for sound
principles of government." r'A -:-:
The 'speaker reriewed briefly
the early life of Washington not
lnf that hla heredltjj' and environ
ment while not ' extraordinary,
were of. good quality and determ
ined; the fiber ot the man. Wash
ington was a man of detail, handl
ing affairs of state and ot his
farms with care. While Jefferson
trifled with revolutionism through .
his residence In France and sym- '
pathy with the French movement,
Washington while a ."constructive
apostle of Liberty" opposed the ;
excesses of the French revolution.
Dr. vMark Flndley gave his
"thumb-nail" autobiography, tell
ing of early struggles from his sod
house -home in western Kansas, 1
his earning his way through col-!
lege and his practice In Grants
Pass and Salem.
POWER PUT FOR
STATE
Purchase of a plant with which
state institutions . and buildings
can be furnished electrical cur
rent for heat, light and power
was approved yesterday in a bill
passed by the senate. Senator
Burke, author of the bill, defend
ed it on the grounds that it was
a move in the interest ot economy
and would make the new plant 1
possible witnout cost to tne tax
payers. Burke declared the measure
authorised the board of control
to divert sufficient funds from
the biennial outlay, for power to
permit the down payment on a
Diesel engine power plant or a
steam generating plant. Subse
quent payments would be made
over a six-year period, the sen
ator said.
He declared that the proposal
had the approval of the state
board ot control and that engi
neers estimates showed a saving
of $20,000 annually In the cost
of buying the current. . ,
