IW. Hw Henderson of the Holly
wood club took the floor against
the health program. He said his
organisation had sent Nate Hubbs
to-the courts of Polk and Linn
eettntlee and had found health
work done there for 10 per cent
as much as In Marion county with
equal effectiveness. Instead of
the 140.000 spent here for health,
flO.OOt a year is adequate, Hen
derson asserted. '
iMra. C A. Downs, representing
1 the P. T. A. of South Salem, said
her organization stood for the
prevention of sickness through
proper health education. Most of
the people of Salem want this
health work continued." she said.
Alderman Paul Hendricks . said
he felt certain the necessary
t000 could he obtained by tak
ing the money from the $25,000
budgeted for street lighting in

Alderman Henry Tanderort. "I

continued,

Stanford Sparks then asked Dr.
V.: A. Douglas, head of the health
unit, H larger Income could not
be obtained from private com
panies using the health service,
Douglas .replied in the negative.
Alderman Will D. Erans sug
gested that the $2000 be raised by
raisins the estimated miscellan
eous receipts 'in the 1932 budget
from 120.000 to $22,000, but Al
derman Dancy objected to the
idea. Dancy insisted the council
always estimated the receipts
above the actual income and thus
liad created a considerable deficit
tat recent years.
Alderman Vandevort accused
the health unit of "poor sports-
saanshlp." "Ton fellows haven't
bea able- to take the gaff and cut
salaries like everyone else," chid
ed Vandevort. Dr. Douglas replied
that -no salaries had been raised
during the year as Vandevort had
stated and the latter apologised.
.(Mrs. J, H. Scott, representing
the McKlnley. parent-Teachers as

did not wish any group of city
enfoloye to be "jobbed" for the
health department work but she
Insisted the $8000 appropriation
was necessary and suggested that

playground work be temporarily
abandoned. . .
. Alderman-Erans suggested that
the incinerator appropriation of
4 500 be omitted but this idea

T. M. Hicks made a glowing
speech for the additional appro

was $8000 commission received
by himself for. sale of the stock to

Entirely Gratis
In an oral statement made to
the corporation commissioner's
department here. Stockman said
Frank Keller Jr. had gone farther
in his promises, declaring ho
would see to it that Stockman re
ceived $20,010 in Empire Holding
company stock without any pay
ment whatever. ,
Adams, -physician, la credited on
the company's books with a $2000
cash payment and Keller, likewise
is credited with $2000, it appear
ing that ho made this payment
after the Empire Holding com
pany had sufficiently reimbursed
him for his sales efforts to permit
the payment in cash of the $2,
000. It was on this structure of
$100,000 of officers' and direct
ors' stock, 'fully paid" with no
director In the company owner of
less than 200 shares or $20,000
worth of the Empire H 'ding com
pany stock, that the rapid-fire
growth of the company was to be
based.
First Contract Is
With Chief Justice
The next step in the procedure
was to effect contracts with the
various officers of the company
"in a cautious and prudent man
ner" to quote from Judge Cosh
ow's letter written November 15,
19X0, in which he gave carte
blanche approval to the methods
the Empire Holding comoany was
pursuing. "The salaries offered to
its officers and employees are
MODEST," writes the Judge.
"There is no suggestion of bonus-,
es or other inducements tending
to induce high pressnre sales of
its Btock," he continued. "Every
provision has been made for all of
the undertakings of the company
to be open and above board and
invites investments solely as prof
itable along an honest and open
plan."
One of the first contracts to bo
executed was with Chief Justice
Coshow. The jurist was then on
the . bench here in Salem receiv
ing $7600 annually from the state
of Oregon. His contract was thus
phrased to begin January 1, 1021.
He was to serve as chairman of
the board of directors and to be
president of the Empire Holding
company. His exact duties in the
company are not prescribed and
his contract expressly provides,
that he is free to continue in a
legal practice in addition to his
duties as president providing his
legal work did not interfere with
the affairs of the Empire Holding
company.
Coshow, inexperienced in the
insurance business, was to start at
the "modest" salary of $7600 for
the first year.. His second year
payment was to be the same. The
third year the Empire Holding
company contracted to pay him
$10,000 annually while the fourth
and each successive year on the
10-year, contract provided thai
the service of President Coshow
should be $12,000 per annum,
payable monthly.

L H. Fetty, who bears high tes
timonials from eastern friends as
an experienced lumberman and a
man who had held a directorate
on one insurance company, was
tendered a contract by tho holding
company to act as its general
manager. He agreed to devote his
time exclusively to the business
although his exact work was not
prescribed. The term of Fettys
contract was 10 years. He was to
start work December 10, 1920,
under the terms of the contract
which waa the same date Corpora
tion Commissioner McCallister is
sued the permit to sell $2,(00.000
worth of Empire Holding com
pany stock. The ledger of the
company shows that Fatty's sal
ary actually started on that date.

entitling him to an accrual credit
on the books of the company of
$3943.60 Fetty was stepped up to
$11,000 the second year under the
terms of his contract. For the
third to tenth year of his servi
ces, inclusive, his salary was to be
$12,000 annually, payable
monthly. v
The audit of the Empire Hold
ing company's books made July
21, 1921. reveals that the tally of
salaries does not exactly coincide
with the contracts made in De
cember. For example. Jude Cosh
ow, later to be president of the
company, is credited with salary
at the rate of $7500 annually.

Governor Julius I lfoior after an
absence of 12 weeks. And erents

called It a day after 4 o'clock and
returned to Portland. He had a
busy day hero, his office always
full of poapl waiting to see him.
It seemed natural to see tho
governor back at his of flee, and
to see activity around tho state
house . resumed oav at : larger.,

first act was to order a box of

visitors. News hounds were glad
to see that.
Slater's first official act, how
ever, after- more than am boar

sent his check for his share of
the day's pay each month for
five months going to aid tho
unemployed. His check covering
tho five days would have bee

handed Chairman Thomas H.
RUea was for $150.
Tho governor's contribution

largest on the basis of salary ra
tios. After this act tho executive
went to work on routine matters

each subsequent year until ten
years had passed he was to re
ceive $12,009 annually, to bo paid
in monthly installments.
Stockman Applicant

It was revealed in Salem on
Monday that Stockman in times
past has been an applicant for po
litical appointment, seeking a lo

an annual salary of $3100.

the salary of $200 monthly but
hereafter his account on the
books of tho Empire Holding com
pany is accrued at tho rate of
833.33 a month, indicating nn

Frank J. Keller, Jr., while prof

City Attorney Trlndle reported
a claim presented to tha city by
Mrs. Velma H- Fanner for dam-
mage done to her property .in De
cember, 1021, when North Mill

recommendation, the claim , and
others which may arise, was re

Alderman O'Hara raised the
Question of tho status of proceed
ings on the city's part to acquire
more right-of-way adjacent to the
North Commercial street bridge.
O'Hara said only one-third of the
bridge's surface was being used
because the approaches were bot
tled. Trlndle replied that he wonld
probably bo able to report at tho
next council meeting on the ques
tion of acquiring the needed prop
erty. Ho said it had been difficult
thus far to line up ths various
owners.
Alderman V. E. Kuhn asked the
council to grant the buildings com
mittee authority to hire and tiro
employes at the city comfort sta
tions on High and State streets.
The request was granted.
The council by a vote of six ayes
and fire nays authorized th re
payment to W. R. Kane of a por
tion of the annual license fee he
paid for operation of a billiard
and card business. Kane sold the
business before the year was end
ed. Opponents of the motion said
the action constituted a bad prece
dent.
A letter from J. C. DeHarport,
merchant in South Salem, was
read in which DeHarport said his
store had been robbed three times,
and on each Instance Police Offi
cer Wintersteen had been instru

He expressed appreciation to the
council for Wlntersteen's work.
A petition signed by 180 citi
zens urging the council to make
no reduction in the police force
was presented as waa a petition
signed by 101 citizens asking for

Two matters which were expect

waa tho r per cent gross earnings
