Efficiency Expert to aid
In Readjusting State
; Department, Wcrd
-Corernor Meier, at a meeting of
the .state highway commission
here Thursday, denied emphati
cally that a "housecleaning" of
highway department employes was
contemplated. II. r A. Lynch of
Redmond, who Wednesday was
reappointed a member of the
highway commission for a four
year term, attended the -meeting.
The commission voted to adopt
a suggestion by H. B. VanDuzer,
chairman, that a .complete survey
be made of ail activities of the
highway department. It was ar
gued that - such a - survey would
eliminate waste. Increase efficien
cy and reduce materially the oper
ating costs. ' Gorernor Meter- said
It was important that the commis
sion should hare a complete In-
rentory of all equipment and ma
terials on hand.
Efficiency "Expert
To be Enrplored ,
In remodeling and readjusting
the state highway department or
ganization the commission will be
assisted by an efficiency expert
to be provided by Governor Meier.
The work of the expert probably
will he limited to revising the
present system of purchasing sup
plies and equipment. The only
formal ann num rement made at the
close of the -conference was that
th next meeting of the commis
sion will be held in Portland April
St. Whether Mature sessions of
the commissioa will be held In Sa
lem probably wltf be determined
at that meeting. It was reported
that members of various county
courts and contractors have urged
that future meetings be held In
Portland and not in Salem, as sug
gested by Gorernor Meier.
Reports were current following
Thursday's conference that no at
tempt will be made to disturb Roy
E. Klein, state highway engineer.
Klein's servtees were said to be
satisfactory to ; VanDuzer and
Lynch.

MORE ENRAGED
Cherry rro-wers breathed easier
this week when Max Gehlhar re
ceived a wire from Senator Mc-
Nary stating that the matter ot re
vision of the cherry tariff would
not be reopened this year.
Cherry producers have had
much difficulty during the past
six years and Gehlhar has led the
fight to get a high protective
tariff on cherries. Last year he
went to Washington. D. C. in the
interests of the growers and suc
ceeded in getting almost exactly
the rates that Oregon growers de
sired. An appeal was pending
however and much uneasiness has
been felt during recent months,
Following President Hoover's
move denying approval to a re
duction the commission has indi
cated that no change will be made
this year. .

GENERAL POLITICAL
Cause of Depression, Says
Judge McMahan; Talks
At Lions luncheon
Business men apparently know
and can talk but three things
money, golf and bootleggers
Judge L. H. McMahan of the cir
cuit eourt declared before the
Lions club meeting ysterday in an
address on phases ot political econ
omy.
He decried the fact that the
business man does not interest
himself In problems of political
economy and predicted that be
cause of this lack of Interest the
present depression will get much
worse before it gta better.
"Professional and business men
and other little fellows hare ab
surd explanations of these hard
times, but their explanations are
not a trrt advanced over those
century ago," Judge McMahan de
clared.
Little Excuse For
Depression Here
Poverty is not a natural condi
tion, and there is little excuse for
it in this country, where land is
plentiful and between seven and
ten millions ot people want only
the chance to produce for them
selves and those dependent upon
them, the Judge declared.
The trouble today lies In tact
that the people have been hood
winked into letting a few men
control as result of maladjust
ment of political affairs, he said
adding that he believes the time
will come in the not distant future
when a half dozen men In New
York will control In entirety the
rest of the country.
He decried the drop In prices
on farm commodities, with no
compensating drop in publle util
ities, Interest and other things on
which the farmer must meet bills,

ClISTIfJ FAITH
Value of r Religion to all
Human Contacts Shown
By Dr. Kellems
"The greatest bulwark against
the. forces of dissolution and de
cay In our modern world la . the
Christian faith." This statement
was made last night at the First
Christian church by Dr. Jesse
Randolph Kelleme ef New York
in his evening sermon.
The churches ot Marlon coun
ty, now In the midst of their great
county campaign are reaping a
real harvest in the present effort.
A number of people came for
ward at the close of th service
last night to unite with the
church.
"The Society of the Godless in
Russia are . quite right in their
campaign to rid the country of
God if they wish their own
schemes to succeed. The greatest
power to conserve the fine things
of life Is faith.
"There Is not a. business man
in Salem who would for a mo
meat try to continue his business
here were it not tor the fact that
there is a Christian, morality rul
ing main street.
We want the ethics ot Christ to
obtain in business even though
we are remiss in our own doty to
the church.
"A good citizen Is not merely
one who thinks of himself and ot
his own advancement. He thinks
ot the good of the whole com
munlty end ot what he can do to
help tho community to be a bet
ter piece in which men can live.
He is interested in the schools
and clubs of the city. He Is in
tereeted in the churches of '.hie
town that they may grow and
thrive.' It the experiment in Rus
sia falls it will be because the
leaders- have . not succeeded In
overthrowing God. It will be be
cause faith still exists."
Just preceding the service last
night the Intermediate Endeavor
of the First Christian church
gave a beautiful little play "Out
and Out For Christ" written by
Mrs. Norris Reasoner. It was
rreatly enjoyed by the large au
dience. i
Tonight Dr. Kellems will preach
on the theme "A Prison Conver
sion."
