While salary redactions , are going on la all departments of state . government, Oregon's 28 circuit Judges pursue their soli tary way with a great diversity existing in the way the members of the bench are handling ' the delicate matter of lowered com pensation. Prior to the legislative session all the circuit judges at one time or another, had taken redactions In their base pay. Since legisla tive adjournment, eight of the 28 judges hare slipped back to the full seal received before any sal ary adjustments were made at the eapitol. The judges who have taken re ductions have generally followed the lead of the majority of the state supreme court, four mem bers of which voluntarily reduced : their pay 15 per cent a month. Three high court judges cut their salaries 20 per cent a month. Some of the circuit judges have taken 10 per cent cuts; none have reduced their salaries from 23 to 28 per cent as would be required It the 5 to 30 per cent legislative schedule were carried out. HcMahan Among Those not Reducing Judge L. H. McMahan of Mar lon county continues to draw his warrant of $500 each month on a ,16000 a year basis. At no time 'has he reduced the warrant he draws on the state or refunded any money to the state treasurer as a number of judges bare done. For one month he .turned in 125 to the- Marion county treasurer after .: his failure to reduce "his salary was shown locally. Since that time he has refunded noth ing here or at the statehouse. Seven other judges besides Mc Mahan are drawing their full pay. They are Judges H. D. Norton, George Tazwell, Earl C. Latour ette, Fred W. Wilson, W. M. Dun can, Jacob Kanzler, : Orlando Cor king. ' While no legislature can legal ly reduce the salary of a judge during his term of office, the 1933 cession recommended voluntary reductions to the jurists. If the Budges took the salary reductions applied to state workers the leg islature could reach, the scale would have been reduced from 23 to 26 per cent, the latter reduc tions applying .in the $500 a month bracket.

Twenty gathered to greet the distinguish ed visitor and to listen to his dis cussion of matters of moment in theh field of literature. Mrs. F. GL .Franklin, president of the lo cal chapter, served as toast master for the program following the dinner. Brief talks were made by Charles H. Carey, historian, pres ent ; corporation commissioner, and by C. A. Sprague, both of whom pointed out the field in the west for the flowering of the lit erary arts. Mr. Fields spoke at some length In discussing current trends in literature. After first encouragng writers to perisist In their work in spite of hard times whch has affected writers as well as others, Mr. Fields launched in to a description of the revolution in literature as he observes it. Men . are throwing off old shackles of creed and piety in their ambition to attain greater self-realization, Mr. Fields said. He said authors wer. now ex ploring the psychic field and find ing fresh matrials for their craft. He mentioned "Outward Bound" and Death Takes a Holiday" as examples of this trend. Science, which has reduced matter to im pulses of energy which may be only spirit, thus may get to the postulates of religion and will turn more and more to the psychic. Mr. Fields concluded with reading from his own poems and writings. He paid a tribute to his friend, Col. E. Hofer, founder and linena, coi. js. liorer, lounaer a honary president of the league. i Cnrripan Chiei VWiifio" VtlUCl Oi Association VANCOUVER, B. C, May 19 AP) M. F.
