Proposal; , Voluntary;;

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

League of Western Writers
Local Chapter Visited
By Noted Author
Ben Fields, noted author and
editor of Los Angeles, president
of the League of Western Writers,
was honor guest at dinner at the
Spa last night, which was under
the auspices of the Hazel Hall
chapter of the league. 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.

which will be used in mainten

Should Oregon receive about
$5,700,000 as contemplated under

would not be as much as was ob
tained last year. He said existing
highways need even more money
than will be available. Scott dis

commission would not undertake
any new major construction pro-
