Adequate Program of Work
For Jobless Urged
In Resolution
Arizona Delegation Leading
Demand Movement . at
Portland Meet .
PORTLAND, Ore.. Oct. 28
(AP) Unemployment, a situ a
tioa so acute It, took? precedence
over all other problems, today was
given the best thought of chief
executives and representatives of
seven western states. ; f v , T
And in a resolution presented by
the, delegation from Arizona, the
western governors' conference in
cession here was asked to demand
of congress that "appropriate leg
islation be enacted to provide for
an enlarged and. accelerated pro
gram of pnblie works, to relieve
the predicament of the Jobless. ;
J. Strode, secretary to Gor
ernor Hunt of Arizona, led the de
mand for relief of the situation.
He demanded that c o n g f e ss
. should, relegating all other prob
lems to the background until the
major question is solved, enact
legislation necessary to meet the
crisis.
"The urgency of the matter de
. manded that congress should have
been called in special session long
a so," he declared, and added that
'congress can and should, at Its
re-convening , in December, wave
aside all lesser matters of public
concern until this one great prob
lem of unemployment Is solved.
Enlarged Public
Work Program Asked
The resolution of the Arizona
delegation,' presented by Strode,
- demanded "an : enlarged and- ac
celerated program of pnblie works,
including highways, river and har
bor Improvements, public build
ings and reclamation projects, to
furnish , constructive and - useful
employment to the idle millions of
American citizens now facing a
winter of want and sufferlcg for
themselves and their .families.!
"Whether c?rTjgr?sj,iilwin meet
- the situation courage o u si yan T ef
fectively, Strode concluded, "or
whether our national government,
Nero-like, will continue to fiddle
while Rome burns, only the future
can unfold." - , .

A 'public .hearing will be held
In the city council chambers to
night to consider a proposed two
per cent city tax on the gross
earnings of all utilities operating
In Salem on their revenues taken
from the Salem district. Public
utility representatives are now In
the city ready to make a allow
ing tonight against the bill which
has been .introduced before the
council by Dave O'Hara. alder
man. " : " .:
O'Hara's reason for Introduc
ing the bill was to provide a new
... source of city revenue. He esti
mates that the ordinance would
raise 125,000 .worth of new rev
enue for the , city. 1 While the
gross earnings of Portland Gen
. erst . Electric company in Salem
re I not 'known, the Oregen

-would mean a tax of $3585 and
the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
. graph company grossed 1245.109
-which would mean a tax of
14902.
' -v. A number of other Oregon cities
are known to have similar taxes
on utilities as that proposed lo
cally. Included are the cities of
f edford, Corvallis, Eugene, La

WILUMETTE KB
SURVEY IS ASSURED
Congratulations to the Salem
chamber ; of commerce for ! the
work it did in urging a complete
survey f the Willamette river
conveyed here yesterday by Sena
tor Charles lb McNary. "Happy to
advise that the board of army en
gineers 'Wednesday reversed Its
former-decision denying a survey
to the Willamette river from Port
land to Eugene and ordered that
a complete survey be made in ac
cordance with our presentations,"
read the wire from the senator.
Congratulations and regards."
- Local ; officials - said - yesterday
this city should be much elated
with the news. It, means that the
horse-back survey made last
year will be augmented by a de
tailed study of the costs of deep
ening the river as far as Eugene
and that from Shis study the fed
eral government will later deter
mine the advisability or more ex
penditure. Navigation, power de
velopment and irrigation are "all
to be included as the phases of
development accruing from such a
survey, i , , .
Congressman' W. C. Hawley,
who shared with Senator McNary
the work of gathering material,
said in an address here Tuesday
that the irrigation benefits to the
valley from such a survey im

were the foremost of all - other
good results to be received front
such expenditure.

"Farmers were charged $8.50
a bushel for seed which they could

they will be charged $3, and the

management of the flax industry

a $3 SO royalty. Nothing wjas done

to reorganize the Industry at the

and Italy grow the finest fiber.
"Conditions at the state plant
have not been what they should
be and are not yet. The flax: was
not properly .handled,, not retted

lengths rather, than by quality.
The great need is for quality fiber.

hauled over the O. E.
A ' survey i has been , made of

the logs will-be "dumped In the

of the logs in Albany or Salem.
The work between here and

Since the news of the exten

that the Oregon Electric and its

to control the movement of the
Umber , and, lumber . clear from
the forests to the consuming
areaa in the middle west; but
notnlng definite has ever been
given out as to where the logs
would be converted into lumber.

uapone s income : tax trial - had a
rousing aftermath in federal court
today as the gang chief and his
followers were denounced for "in

bodyguard who brought a loaded
pistol Into court was sentenced to
six months in jail.
Federal Judge James H. Wll

11 years imprisonment adjudged
bodyguard Philip D'Andrea in
eontempt of court and ordered
him locked up for six months.
His presence during the Income

said, but It was not as bad as the
acts of the gang In general, intim

"It clearly appears from the

testified to the defendant Car

that camp were summoned coun

Professors to Contribute
On Basis of Earnings;
: Students in. Need
The faculty of Willamette un
iversity will start a loan fund for
needy students who -might other
wise be forced to drop out of
school. It was decided at faculty
meeting Wednesday afternoon, :
Within a week the fund will
approximate 8C0flLwHh the vari
ous 'members contributing on a
sliding scale in proportion to the
salaries , they receive. Business
secretary of the university, N. 8.
Savage, will take care of the mon
ey and It is hoped that townsfolk
and others Interested will also
make contributions to build up
the fund. - : :
The loan funds which have been
in existence at Willamette In the
past are' insufficient to meet the
present needs of the students who
would be forced to drop out of
school for the lack of from $25
to $50 or more.
Such a situation is facing: a
number of students whose parents
are having a hard time or students
who are unable! to -find sufficient
work to earn their luitlop money.
One student, a senior,, had his
income stopped ! when this Japan
ese invaded Manchuria.-His broth
er was forced to abandon his bus
iness 'and' flee for his life-with
what few possession he could take
with him. This! student and any
number of others are finding it
hard to meet eipenses and will
have to raise ' money from some
source or drop school. v
The Willamette faculty had con
sidered raising, a fund for charity,
but it was brought up at the meet
ing that most of the faculty mem
bers were already, supporting oth
ers than their own families. One
