FOUNDED 1051 EIGHTY-SECOND YEAR Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, February 17, 1933 No. 280 r. ciSS Ways and Means Committee Receives Letter From State Treasurer Group Checks up, Finds its Figures $30,000 Above Meier's .Estimate Rufas Holman, state treasur er, In a letter to the ways and means committee of the legisla ture Thursday night charged that William Einiig, secretary of the board of control, had padded his payroll and otherwise misrepre sented bis biennial budget to the committee. The letter also alleged there were sereral persons on the pay roll who were not necessary in carrying on the work of the board of control office. The letter was referred to a sub-committee for investigation. The Joint ways and means com mittee took stock Thursday night and found its legislative appro priations to date had exceeded by 130,000 the appropriations ap proved in the budget by Gover nor Meier. There were Indications that other substantial Increases would be made before the com mittee ends Its work. No action waa taken on a re port filed by a subcommittee re commending adversely on the proposal to take approximately $672,000 from the state highway department and divert it to the general fund. The report was signed by Senators Dunn and Hess and Representative Snider. Representative Snider declared that the funds of the state high way commission had been reduc ed to their lowest level in many years and that with the proposal to reduce motor vehicle license fees It would not be possible to assess the proposed "service charge" against the department. Charles T. Early, chairman of the state industrial accident com mission, appeared ..hefore. the committee and urged the passage of a senate bill appropriating $200,000 to take care of the ad ministrative costs of the depart ment. Early said the funds of the commission had been depleted as a result of the financial depres sion, and that state assistance was necessary. An appropriation of $18,052 was authorised for the state child welfare commission. This is a re duction of $6272 under the amount approved by Governor Meier. A request for an appropriation of $500,000 for the World war veterans state aid commission, in lieu of the waiver of the one-half mill tax for that department for the year 1933, was referred back to a committee of legionnaires with the suggestion that he pro posal be submitted to the com mittee on assessment and taxa tion. The one-half mill tax raised approximately $500,000 annually prior to 1932, when It was elim inated from the levy by the state tax commission. The committee reported favor ably on four house bills providing that the state corporation com mission, state Insurance commis sion and state fire marshal shall be placed on a budget basis. These departments are now self-eup-portingy and their expenditures are limited only by the amount of their revenues. The committee acted favorably wn a resolution presented by Sen ator Staples directing the govern or to appoint a committee of 15 persons to conduct a study of the need of a psychrlatic hospital in Oregon. The appropriation for the state board of health was Increased to approximately $34,000. A proposal that the new salary reduction schedule of the ways and means committee ranging from five to 30 per cent be ap plied to the salary budget of the higher educational Institutions in stead of the Woodward salary re duction ranging from five to 50 per cent, probably will be present ed to the committee tomorrow night. TUCUMCARI, N. M.. Feb. 18- (AP) A wave of Indignation wept the countryside near here tonight over the torture of Lee Marshall. 50-year-old homestead er, burned by two bandits because he baa no money. Life ebbed slowly from the fire- scarred body of the homesteader as crim-faced ranchers and offl eers extended their hunt for the two men who poured gasoline on him, bound him helplessly and set him afire. Physicians said there Is little hope he can recover and If he does he probably will be a cripple for life.

Moore proposed that a hearing be held sometime late next week at the courthouse, with the coun ty court, the district attorney and members &. the grand jury sitting to hear the sentiment. Judge Siegmund told the jury foreman to go ahead and eall the meeting if the grand jury desired, but indicated that he did not see how it could do a great deal of good unless the group which meets can also show where money can be raised for improvement or building purposes. The grand Jury recently recom mended to the county court that a number of improvements be made to the courthouse to elim inate as near as possible fire has ards.

The reopening measure carried 42 to 18. Representative Winslow lead a clever fight before the house to have the emergency clause strick en from the bill. Unable to de feat the majority committee re port which favored the bill's pas sage, Winslow moved the house resolve itself Into a committee of whole to amend the bill and his motion prevailed, S2 to 28. The minority report had previously been defeated, 21 representatives voting aye to 31 voting no. Once in the committee ef the whle, Representative Lonergan, a reponent of the bill, was quick to admit Wlnslow's position on the emergency clause and it was on Lonergan's motion that the eommlttee struck out the emer gency clause and later reported the bill out to the house. The house rules were Immediately sus pended and the bill was passed. Debate on the fish wheel bill consumed the entire afternoon in the house. Representative Judd of Astoria took the lead in oonosinz the measure, declaring it was the most vicious piece of legislation m me House. He declared the People had snoken In 19 St and should be sustained. He held fish wheel flan in sr would create onlv 25 Jobs at The Dalles because that number of men could run so v i .. - . . wueeis wails SUU tO 400 men would be thrown out of work at Astoria.

He con tended the bill worked no undue narashlp on the lower Columbia fishing interests lnasmnch as there were sufficient fish left or artificially propagated for all re- placement needs. Lonergan con- tended it was futile for Oreron to promou nsn wneeis when wash- ington allowed them.

Ruefully admitting that "the retrospect of the average banker la a sad one, the former vice president testified that his In stitution, the Central Republic Bank and Trust Co., of Chicago with capital and surplus of 224. 00,000 had lent $11,000,000 to the tar-flung Insull enterprises. NEW TICK DILL TO REPORTED SOON Prohi Repeal Enabler Now Past Senate Wl RWTVBTOM Vmh. 1 f 1 AV By an astonishing majority the senate today voted to kill the 18th amendment and sent a repeal res olution to the house where lead ers confidently looked forward to approval no later than Monday. Moving with a ipeed and force that was unforeseen even as re cently as yesterday, anti-prohibitionists smashed dry lines apart to push the repealer through the senate by a t3-to-23 vote five more than the two-thirds neces sary. It provides for submission to state conventions for ratification instead of to the legislatures and would protect dry states from liquor Importations. Another ar ticle which would have placed a constitutional ban on the return of the saloon was brushed aside as the senate rushed forward toward its historic vote after IS years of prohibition. In the house Speaker Garner promised action Monday tinder suspension of the rules. Start Tonight; Limit Upon Debate Also Sought to Speed up Process With both houses yesterday bogged down by the extended de bates on major bills, night ses sions were in prospect for this evening and subsequent days of the legislative session in order that both houses may clean up a heavy calendar yet remaining. Representative Nichols said yes terday he would seek to have de bate In the lower house curbed hereatfer to not more than five minutes a speaker. The Introduction of bills in both houses hag practically ceased aside from appropriation bills, which continued to pour into the lower house yesterday. Measures calling for more than 84,000,000 came from the house committee on leg islation and rules where the bills had been placed by the ways and means committee.

Hereafter all mem bers will serve without pay al though clerks and stenographers will draw their per diem pay ments until the session ends. House and senate leaders reaf firmed their prediction yesterday that the session would close by February 25. WASHINGTON. Feb. 16 (AP) Circulation of money in the United States reached the high- est point on record for the week ended February 15. The federal reserve board reported today It amounted to an aggregate of $5.- 854.000.000. The increase during the last week amounted to $149,000,000 and in the last year to $245,000,- 000. The previous high record was established last July when the circulation amounted to $5,- 775,000,000. The Increase was attributed at the treasury to various reasons. In normal times a sensational In- crease of currency is always ex- perlenced in the middle of Febru- arr and In addition to this manv banks are holding a large nart of the over-supply of currency In their vaults to meet emergencies that might arise. The increase, officials said, also might be attributed In some de- gree to the bank holiday In the Detroit district and the drawing of currency out of postal savings accounts and other places where it could be obtained.
