Linoleum Being Laid Heavy
Inlaid linoleum is being laid in
the halls of the courthouse this
week- The pattern, a mosaic ot
varied colors, is being more fa
vorably commented on by the vis
itors to the courthouse than was

linoleum recently laid In the var
ious courthouse offices. The se
lection and purchase ot the lino
leum was made by the county
court after the county grand jury

used In the offices at the court
house and the lack of linoleum in
the halls.

E ASKED
The Highway Protective associ
ation, through Oswald West, ex-
.governor, Friday filed in the state
department preliminary petition
for an initiative measure which
would place contract carrier truck
operations under regulation of
the public utilities commissioner
and impose on them a fee ot one
and one-fourth mills per ton mile
and increase to one and one-half
mills the ton mile fee for com
mercial freight common carriers
The purpose of the measure,
West said, U to promote better
regulation of the operation of
commercial trucks and busses on
the highways and eventually ob
tain lower license fees for au
tomobiles. The proposed measure provides
that the highway commission
shall conduct a study of the en
tire motor vehicle situation, clas
sify all motor trucks using the
highways, learn the nature and
extent of the operations of each,
and the effect ot such on the
highways.
The highway commission would
report its findings to the gover
nor, who, in turn, shall pass them
on to the legislature.
The completed petitions must

sure on the ballot at the Novem
ber election.

WILLI HONORED
Statue Presented by Burt
Brown Barker to be
Unveiled Today
Coming at a most appropriate
time l the dedication of a statue
to "pioneer mothers" which will
be unveiled on the campus of the
University ot Oregon, thia after
noon. The statue Is being presented
by Burt Brown Barker, vice pres
ident of the university, and It is
In memory of his own mother, a
pioneer of Salem and a mother
whom he feels represents all those
qualities which are so happily ob
served on May 8, "Mother's" day.
A. . Phlmlster Proctor, noted
sculptor. Is the producer of the
work, a new study of the theme,
indicating the "pioneer mother"
at rest following her years ot toil
and sacrifice and Joy of giving to
the development of her sons and
daughters and to her state.
Mr. Barker tells In interesting
fashion of how he "grew up on a
farm across river from Salem, at
tended Salem schools, and grad
uated therefrom in 1889. The
next four years I spent attending
Willamette academy and Willam
ette university
He tells how he grew up with
out ever having seen an oil paint
ing or a piece of sculpture. And
then after law was concluded,
law being his chosen profession,
he married and for the first time
was brought into contact with an
Interest in art, that of his wife.
Hopes to Pass Along
Appreciation of Art
Through her he discovered an
other interest in life equal to the
greatest he had ever found, that
of art and sculpturing.
Mr. Barker continued In his re
marks: "Then I began to reflect. I
tried to recall my boyhood days
in faraway Oregon. I tried to
paint in Imagination what must
have bev pictured all about me.
I could recall flowers and trees
and mountains and valleys and
streams and waterfalls, sunsets,
and autumn leaves I remembered
distinctly, but not a single picture
could I recall. The sad truth was
that I had lived amid the most
beautiful of pictures and had not
seen one. Of course, I could not
recall any.
Thus it is easy to see how I
chose a work of art. If the sons
and daughters of Oregon are to
learn its lesson, then it must be
where the sons and daughters
gather to learn those lessons.
It is my opinion most appro
priate that this work should be
encouraged by adding objects of
art to the campus as a part of the
tools in the laboratory of art ap
preciation. My mother endowed me with
powers which teachers trained In
to a love for beauty. My mother
pointed out the scnoolhouse with
a whip, and a flagging interest
therein was promptly flogged.
Therefore, I wish to do honor to
my mother, for without her seal
I would have fallen by the way
early in life. Accordingly, I wish
to dedicate the statue of the Pio
neer Woman of the State of Ore
gon in memory of my mother, El
vira Brown Barker

The regular road day session of
the Marion county court on Thurs
day was well attended by delega
tions from the road districts inter
ested, with the Hubbard-Wood-bum
and the Hubbard Broad
acres - St. Paul market road dis
cussions drawing the limelight
The court stood with the reports
of the viewers against claims of
property owners on the Hubbard
Woodburn road. They recom
mended damages to the amount of
$400 for George and Louisa
Grimps and $353 for Albert John
son. Each had asked for $500.
The court upheld a former de
cision for locating the Broadacres
road on what Is known as the
Jackson route, and ordered It
viewed and surveyed. One taction
was for locating the road on the
Shute's corners route instead of
the Jackson.
The court approved the viewer's
report on road No. 45, or one of
the North Falls routes. Two miles
of this road will be improved this
year. The South Falls route, which
has been much in controversy, was
continued until road day, June 3.
A road up for re-location In the
town of Brooks was entered, as
also orders for viewing and sur
veying the Riches road.
A petition of Otto Bartels and
others for a road In district No. 14
near Silverton was dismissed, as
the court held that the location
is too expensive for the road.

IS BASIS OF SUIT
Damages of $5000 are asked
from Charles Andresen ot this
city in a suit filed Friday in cir
cuit court by Ada M. Newton, ad
ministratrix of the estate ot the
late James M. Newton. Newton
was struck January 14, 1932, as
he crossed the pavement at Court
and Commercial streets here. He
died March 3, 1932, the com
plaint alleging that the accident
occasioned his death.
The plaintiff alleges Andresen
was driving more than 20 miles
an hour and was hindered in vis
ion by mud and rain on the wind
shield. The right of a pedestrian
to a traffic lane on a crossing Is
also at issue since the plaintiff
contends Andresen did not give
Newton opportunity to cross the
street after he had begun his
walk across It.
