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

and with further recommendation
that two of the board be dirt

Old-Time Fiddler Tells
Of Early Polk Incidents
At Chamber Gathering!
INDEPENDENCE, June 16
Early days of Independence and
Monmoath were recalled Tuesday
night at the dinner meeting of the
Independence chamber 'of com
merce. W. M. 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).

Building and construction work
ia cities of the eastern United
States has shown a marked In
crease during March and April
over tap same months for a year
ago, states Building Inspector C.
LBushnell.
Ia the mld-Atlantio section
building has Increased 209.6 per
cent over a rear ago for those
two months and In the South-At
lantic section it has Increased 12 S
percent for 1122.
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.
Another indication that build'
lng and construction work will
probably gain is the Increase of
sales of tools and machinery.

FACTS! UTILITY
BUSINESS RECfTED
Public utilities are entitled to
make fair profits oa their working
Investments but are not guaran
teed profits by the government,
as many erroneously believe, stat
ed L. B. In man. statistical engin
eer of the Portland General Elec
tric company, la his talk at the
Lions dab Thursday noon.
In his talk. "Facta vs. Fancies,"
Inmaa quoted government figures
which showed that since 1112. the
cost or uviag naa increased at
much as 2 IS per cent apd govern
ment costs have risen steadily un
til they are now 240 per cent
greater than la 1113. while the
cost of residence electricity has
been lowered steadily since that
time.
By referring to charts which he
presented, Inmaa ahowed that
while municipally owned power in
Tacoma Is the least expensive of
any in the United States, the Ux
rates there aad la Seattle are
much higher than ia iy-tland and
the Portland district which in
cludes Salem. The cost of elec
tricity in this district Is much low.
er than In any of the large Cali
fornia towns, he pointed out.
The Willamette university Phil
harmonic choir, directed by Pro
fessor Cameron Marshall, furnish
ed a brief musical program of

well received and the blending of
tbe chorus parts was particularly
praised.

be a closed session with election
of officers scheduled.
