Aums- villa and Jefferson was one step nearer the' courts or settlement yesterday when word ; from law yers here confirmed; a rumor ear lier la the week that a conference between representatives of both sidles had been held the fore part Of the. week. ; i - At the present time Stayton's side in the dispute Is being briefed by B. F. Mulkey of Portland and George Duncan of Stayton, while James Heltzel is outlining the ar gument for Turner j Aumsville and Jefferson. When the lawyers have probed the entire ' transportation matter decision will be made eith to take the matter! Into courts, to arbitrate the issue or for one side or the other in the dispute to re linquish its present j contention. The gist of the controversy arises over the fact that 18 pupils now going to Stayton high school come from territory alloted to Turner, Aumsville i and Jefferson high schools at a meeting of the county boundary board last June. These schools contend Stayton is without rights to these pupils and while the boundary board has made no announcement ef its po sition, unofficial statements of Its members Indicate clearly that It Intends to abide by Its June de cision. ...i j i j May be Penalized i By Pay Refusal 1 1 While the boundary board ap parently lacks power to demand that Stayton now I Cease hauling the pupils, the 1931 law giving the board power ito - designate transportation lines j declares that no school violating the provisions of this act shall receive any funds from the tuition fund." Should the board next June, iwhen It pro-" rates tuition and transportation funds apply this prerogative, it might penalize Stayton high school to the extent of $S250, or $150 for the 55 pupils being hauled to the school from Marion county areas. Of the $150 annual charge, $40 Is for '.transportation and ap proximately $110 for tuition. On the other hand. If the boundary board disallowed only transporta tion and tuition claims for pupils in the area alloted j to the other three schools a loss of $150 a pu pil for 18 students ! would be in curred, or a total of $2700. While the boundary board un der the 1931 law has clear power to designate routes I for transpor tation. Attorney General Van Winkle held in an I opinion sent A. Howard, state superintend ent, of public Instruction, Septem ber 18, "The power of regulation is not an arbitrary! power to be exercised at will by the boundary boards, but is a power to be used at will by the boundary boards, but Is a power to be used with dis cretion, tending either to approve or deny a proposed itoute, depend ing upon Its reasonableness or Jus tice in connection With all exist ing facts and ; circumstances." Stayton Claims i Unfair Hearing Given The contention of the Stayton school board, headed by Grant Murphy, chairman, lies In the fact that the boundary board consist ing of the county court and the county school superintendent, did not give the Stayton school board a fair hearing before allocating the 1931-32 transportation routes. The Stayton board ; was given the route it Is now utilizing by the boundary board In 1929. The for mer board claims it bought busses and transported pupils with them for two years and then had its route cut down and pro-rated be tween Jefferson, S Turner and Aumsville when the Stayton group had done the pioneering work and borne the initial expense which was greater than the re turn. Among the 18 pupils Involved by the controversy. loyalty appar ently Is with Stayton, a nnmber bf the pupils hating declared they would continue to go to that school even If the route now be ing used by Stayton was held up by court injunction. In that case the pupils under the law could be transported by Stayton provided they made their own way to the Stayton route which had been al lowed by the boundary board in Jacket or Overall 1 pioneer Jr. for Boys tWc -, .Biggest and Best Overall we have ever offered for 8tc per garment. 20 special features and NOW higher bib, wider legs, wider and deeper pockets Denim stronger than 17.

H AD the delegations to the state highway meeting yes terdav been T provided, with shovels they would have been able to bnild.the shortcut from Port land to the sea. At least this was the opinion of Ray Conway of the Oregon Motor association. " The delegations urging this highway have attended about every se&slon of the commission held the past six months. What a lot of time that could - have been j put on roads. . ' -. ' ! ; " - . j i Well, the . new - cemmlsslon got under way in short order, and the selection 'of ,JT. C. Alas worth as chairman proved a good one. Not only dM he make ; m good chairman hot he bore all the marks of an excellent commlstdoner. He sat through the meeting very . attentatively and consumed very little time with talk. The commission did , accomplish a lot for a first one for a new member. Russian atmosphere ftried to nervade the highway meeting. Along came Senator W. F. Wood ward," that courteous solon from Multnomah county, and present ed a five-year financing plan for highway work. Hardly haa nis soviet-like proposal been present ed when Commissioner Spauldlng countered with a five-project sys tem for the five-year expenditure, plan. . . Ainsworth started off. with a handicap yesterday. This weal- June. 1931. In that case the Stay- ton board could make claim for transportation and the boundary board would be compelled to pay, it, the law providing that a pupil may take whatever route he Chooses providing he makes bis own way to that route. , Representatives of some of the districts, Interviewed in Salem yesterday, indicated they were anxious to avoid a lawsuit if pos sible, because of the coat and the resultant hard feelinlg between the schools. JOB HEADQUARTERS WILL BE EWED Plans are being made for pro viding more room for the employ ment office which Is conducted under the administration of the Y. M. C. A. and operated as a free employment bureau. At present the manager of the office, Sim Phillips, has a email ground floor office on Chemeketa street. It is not anticipated that these quarters will be satisfactory dur ing the coming winter, so second floor quarters will be provided in the same building at the corner of Commercial and Chemeketa streets. The room will be much larger and will permit the men waiting for calls to go" to work to sit in a warm room and not have to stand out In the street. Then next spring the office will be mov ed downstairs again. , The county will consolidate its employment work with the regu lar employment bureau so there will be no duplication of effort or expense. Mr. Phillips will receive sufficient secretarial help to care for the additional work. The employment office oper ates without charging any fees to men and women seeking work nor to those hiring labor. The T. M. C- A. manages the office and provides a part of the ex pense. The major portion Js sup plied by government units which cooperate to maintain the free em ployment bureau for Salem. - At the meeting of the Y. M. C A. board yesterday noon the em ployment committee was instruct ed to make the necessary arrange ments with the county and the owners of the building. PARItf TO SELL SCIO, Oct. 8 r. B.

And on the other hand; this system of attending highway meetings In delegations gives the big meetings a touch of con ventkn atmosphere.

The militia or ganization cannot! be a police or ganisation. Four years at least are required to educate a poll's officer. The state police will not Interfere with the city .police, bnt rather will assist) them. Charles Pray, the superintendent of the state department,) is rated as one of the best Investigating officers In the United States." L- -- Although fingerprinting Is' the most certain means of identifying criminals, its service Is obscured to the public by the fact that 95 per cent of the leases; of . finger print' identification result jn the lawbreakers' pleading; guilty.
