Officials said .that ' reports from

Increase the number of men em
ployed under the emergency pro
gram to more than 1800.
Reports from Multnbmah coun
ty show that 3S7 laborers are now
at work there under the emergen
cy program. - Douglas county,
which - has provided the second
largest number of jobs, has 76
men employed. Clackamas connty
has provided work for 50. Grant
43, Klamath 68, Lincoln 50 and
IVasco 41.
Roy Klein, state highway en
gineer, in a report to Governor
Meier, declared that the emergen
cy employment program is now a
month ahead of last year.
"Although many Jobs already
hare been made a t a i 1 a b le,"
Klein's report read, "the number
o men employed will be increas
ed gradually as the winter
months progress."
Betterment Work
Is Done Principally
Klein declared that the oper
ations under the emergency pro
gram hare thus far been devoted
principally to betterment projects.
The regular Lighway crews have
taken care of the patrol mainten
ance. These betterments have in
eluded clearing highways, widen?
ing operations, s t r a 1 g h tening
carves and eliminating difficult
and dangerous grades.
Salaries for men employed in
emergency jobs has averaged
37 cents an hour. In some parts
of the state the rotative policy
has been adopted, with the result
more than 1141 men actually
have been employed. The rotation
plan Is a matter wholly in the
hands of the county courts.
.Klein declared that where mea
have been required for emergen
cy work, the counties have been
allowed to furnish the workers
through their local committees.
This plan has operated very suc
cessfully, officials said.
In addition to emergency work,
the state highways department is
now employing more than 500
men. The records show that 104
crews are employed on regular
highway maintenance work.

Presidency of the Salem Retail
Credit association for 1932 lies be

GRAKD ISLAND, Nov. 25 An
other chapter in the union high
school difficulties in which this
district , has been Involved in re
cent weeks was written Tuesday,
when a demurrer was filed to in
junction which sought to wipe out
the election results of Nov. 2.
The demurrer will be heard
Saturday, Nov. 28.
At this election, Grand Island
was the only one of six districts
voting against Union with the
Amity high school, but with the
total vote standing 210 for and
60 against, it was supposed Grand
Island would go into the Amity
district The Injunction suit, re
straining organization of, the new
Amity union high district on
charges that the election was Ille
gal, was filed Nov. 9, a week after
the election.
Much sentiment developed for
unionization of this district with
the Dayton school, so it is not a
question of union, but of which
union? Wheatland district No. 20
is also' in the same boat as Grand
Island: it has been included in the
union program of ,both Amity and
Stayton.
The complaint in the injunction
suit charges that the district
boundary board wrongfully dis
criminated against Dayton and its
tributary schools in allowing the
Amity election; and also that a
range of hills separates Grand
Island and Wheatland from Am
ity and that only within the last
five years has communication
been easy; and that the boundary
board favored Amity against Dayton.
The whole matter will be given
an airing in circuit court in Mc
Minnville Saturday, November 28
when the demurrer, the motion
for temporary injunction, mo
tion by defendants to dissolve the
temporary restraining order all
come before Judge George R.
Bagley of Washington county.
The hearing will open at 9 o'clock
that morning.
The defendants in the case, de
cides the district boundary board,
includes school district No. 4, M.
T. Henderson, chairman, and

20, Smith Fields, chairman and

tive reapportionment lav enacted
T tne 1H legislature,. will
placed Jn the 29th representative

despite that this apparently was
not the. Intention of the legisla?
tors. Attorney, General. Van Win
kle held In an opinion handed
down Wednesday. -
The opinion held that Governor
Meier was . without authority to
correct an error in the new Ore
gon laws with relation to the re
apportionment bill. It developed
that the reapportionment bill
which finally passed the legisla
ture was not the one submitted to
Governor Meier for his official
signature..
Governor Meier requested the
opinion after be had "received a
letter from Representative Hamil
ton of Deschutes county . that
house -bill 431, included in the
Oregon laws for 1931 as chapter
402, was not the bill passed by
the house with senate amendments.
inrougn an error, the bill, as
passed by the two houses on the
report of the conference commit
tee, was not presented to the
governor for his signature. Ham
ilton proposed in his letter to
Governor Meier that he sign the
corrected bill, and that it take
Its' place In the Oregon laws In
lieu, of the one now there.
Court Action Only
Way" to Correct it
Attorney General Van Winkle
ruled that the governor was pow
erless, to act. and that the only
means or testing tne question as
to which form of the bill actually
was enaciea, would De to tile a
proper action In the courts.
The bin signed by Governor
Meier provided that Deschutes
and Lake counties shall comprise
the 29 th representative district
and shall be entitled to one re
presentative. Deschutes county
alone also was entitled to one
representative as the 28 th dis
trict. The 30th district entitled
Grant and Harney counties to
one representative jointly.
