MAUREPA3, La., Jan. 24 (AP) A tornado swept through this section late today Injuring a score of persons, several serious ly, destroying about 30 homes, and snapping hundreds of trees off several feet from the ground. The blow apparently spent its force within a 12-mile stretch 200 feet wide.' The most seriously injured were Professor R. J. Williams, 35, his wife, 32, and Irene Vicknair, 13.

Instead Grif fith woud give him authority to file contempt proceedings with a circuit judge who would giro the matter impartial review. Griffith's criticism of the sys tem of financing the activities of the commissioner's office was not based on opposition to charging the costs up to the utilities bttl the danger of charges of collusion and fraud where the commission er has such authority over the utility. He recommended that all charges be distributed against utilities as a group In proportion to gross earnings, and that appro-J priauons do auaitea ana auinor tied by responsible state author ity as at present. The Thomas bill would Im pound earnings In excess of a fair return to be used for the ben efit of the consumers. Griffith said that under strict regulation there should bo no excess earn ings and that depriving utilities of surpluses in the chance years they might make each a surplus would not be fair unless there was provision to make good to them losses In lean years. The only other person to speak at length was John Laing repre senting the P. P. & l., the North western Electric and the Port land Gas Coke Co. He strongly opposed giving the single com missioner , power to cite for con tempt, and said that some of the provisions of the bill would bo strangulation Instead of regula tion.

Director B. F. Pound, who U legislative chairman for the Ore gon council of Parents and Teach ers, outlined school bills Intro. duced at the present legislative session. He predicted that the tui tion law, as well as the transpor tation act. would be attnerM. either to be eliminated entirely or reduced to some arbitrarily chosen uniform rate per pupil. (Continued from par 1) if It would be possible to consol idate the state normal schools without Inciting a riot Sammons replied that these in stitutions were created by legis lative action and the legislature was the only body having auth ority to abolish ' or consolidate them. Hearing on Beer Bill Set Monday A hearing on the Beekman beer bill which would provide for legal sale of 3.3 beer in Oregon, was set yesterday for next Monday night by the house and senate committees on alcoholic control.

Marks la not a spellbinder type of politician, by no means of the lunatic fringe, but la young er, experienced Oregonian of the late Governor Patterson type. He Is thoroughly honest and capable. Marks would not declare yesterday while at the atatehonse whether or not ho will ran, although his personal inclinations are to stay out of fight which would take mon ey and time, both of which are always needed by the head ot the house in one of Albany's leading legal families. "I've talked to 100 farmers In Yamhill county who are for the sales tax. I think we are going to hare to come to sack a tax; it is fair that all people who enjoy our government pay something for Its benefits. Moreover the real property tax is breaking down as a revenue source doe to low in come from land products." This was the opinion expressed yester day by W. S. Allan, Yamhill coun ty commissioner, here for a meet ing of the state commissioners' organization. Allan is a canny Scotchman, reelected term after term. He lives at Dundee and is one ot the fortunate men who own walnut orchards. Allan is a granger but declares Ray GUI has put the cart before the horse; be ing personally against the sales tax, he is now trying to stir up grange support against it in the state, rather than make an impar tial canvass of what the real sen timent ot farmers is on the mat ter of a sales tax. For manyorears J. W. Boyer lived secluded on the old Slab Creek road between Grand Ronde and Devil's lake. So per sistent was his demand and that of his handful of neigh bors that a shortcut road should go to the coast through his territory, that at last the Salmon River cutoff road to the coast became an actuality. A super-highway district was formed, $180,000 in bonds was authorized, additional moneys from taxes were provided and now the road Is used by as many as 400 motorists an hour during the busiest Sundays in the summer. Boyer and Irs "Wlthraw, another member of the board of the highway dis trict, were in Salem Tuesday working for a bin which would have the state take over the road and the bonds. "We have got to have relief,' Boyer said. "We've kept up the Interest and paid some of the principal so far but I doubt If we can continue. Perhaps we should make a toll road out of the property and make some mon ey. It is the most used cutoff road to the coast."
