'U.V PAGE TWO The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, June 17, 1932 .r. GOUT Tax Leaguer? Claim 40,000 Names Were Obtained Before Revision (Continued from pa fee t) consolidation program in 36 coun- r ties la the state. Unlets Burdette U muzzled we will not support the three-told program of the "governor. - Most of Money is Batsed in Portland . The bull ef the-raoney thus far spent by the Marion group on its consolidation program has come from Portland, Ramasce said. - Along with Henry Zorn. president, and Hector Macpheroon, co-worker for the consolidation caue, Ramage refused to disclose the specific sources of the league's revenue. "Everyone will know In time," he declared. "There are lofs of business men in Portland who haye put up money and will con tinue to do so," he said. .. "No money has been raised yet from Corrallls The business men there car not afford to do so now. Later . in the campaign we expect the Corrallls chamber of commerce to raise some money to-support ine consolidation more." Most of the signatures thus far obtained have been through, vol unteer workers and the largest amount paid for each signature has been five cents. Ramage stat ed. He attacked the board of higher education for taking part In the fight, declared it had no authority to spend money on the Issue. Ramage said he had facts to show that th traveling ex pense and time of university pro fessors had already been paid by the state when these men went out to' speak against consolidation. Ramage said he understood that state college professors at Corval lis were taking absolutely no part in the fight. Compromise Offers Tj Have no Effect i All offers of compromise are fu tile as far as the Marlon County Tax leaguers are concerned, he in dicated. A shakeup in the person nel of the board of hjgher educa tion' would do no good now, Ram age indicated. Discontent with the board's policies is very evident throughout the state, but the fun damental way to obviate it is to consolidate the two major schools on the campus at Corrallls. Ramage pointed out that the measure to be voted upon in No vember does not eliminate the board of higher education al though it does do away with the executive secretary's Job and the " Salem office. The present board would need either to rtSign or to be displaced by the legislature, Ramage believes, since the board is obviously opposed to the eon solldation 'proposal. (Continued from page 1) The recommendation was sc cepted that certain policies should be determined by the people through legislative action rather than by faculty and board . of higher education decision as Is now practiced. Policies mentioned Included such as student body fees, professional schools which -.. "should be self supporting beyond jgndergraduate work." Leave-of-absences with pay should be de termined by legislative assembly Instead of by faculty as now done. Teachers' pensions were also in eluded In the matters to be deter mined through legislation. Another recommendation was made that the legislative commit tee of the grange be Instructed a draw a. hill creatine a smaller H GHEH EDUCAT On MU FIXED , board of education, chosing two from each congressional district. and with further recommendation that two of the board be dirt farmers. This was also accepted. First Case on New Polk County Trial Docket is Monday t DALLAS. June" 17 Circuit Judge Walker announced the i?JV. 'lJ.l ' WHi SVWVISST.

O'Kelley. the 81 year old violinist accompanied by the Pip-. neer orchestra, played ord time tunes and was enthusiastically ap plauded by his large audience. Mr. O'Kelley, who has lived here for the past 61 years, who has played the violin since he was a boy of 10 years, has made violins and taught music," said R. K. . Mont gomery, chairman of the program, committee. In his reminisfence of old times, Mr. O'Kelley said that the customs have changed greatly during his time. When he arrived in Inde pendence about 5 o'clock Thurs day, September 20, 1871, he put up at a hotel and was greeted by a gang of -ruffians who thought to torment him with their remarks about his clothing but who treated him to cigars after he had demon strated his pugilistic abilities. He told how folks would go tor miles in wagons, oa horseback, and even walk to dance and eat all night often paying from 32.50 to 3 for a dance number. (Old time residents recall that Mr. O'Kelley was the "fiddler" at many of those dances). O. A. Wolrerton of Monmouth, who has spent his life in Polk I TWO Monmouth 4-H.

No Increase has been noted In the western states, though most of 'those movements which begin In the east are manifest In the west about 60 days later, states BushnelL.
