I Purchase Suggested Subject
To Mortgage in Lieu
Of Present Plan
Believed Water Firm Will
Deal; Condemnation is
Threat Held Out
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
The City of Salem's situation on
Its proposed municipal water sys
tem reminds one of the quandary
of a man who wished to bake a
rabbit pie: All be lacked was the
rabbit.
Through the maze of misunder
standing enveloping the three
years of fruitless endeavor for a
city - owned plant here, the fact
becomes . Increasingly apparent:
The city needs the rabbit. In this
case the rabbit may be defined as
the Oregon - Washington Water
Service company's Salem' plant.
' Without that, plant, it is very
doubtful if PWA authorities will
grant $1,500,000 to Salem, 30
per cent as a gift, 70. per cent as a
loan, with which moneys a moun
tain water pipeline and intake
can be constructed. More certain
Is the city's Inability to borrow
. money from PWA to build a com
pleting plant; in analagous cases
elsewhere In the nation, such re
quests hare been flatly denied.
PWA is not in business to spend
money to permit municipalities
to ruin existing businessness.
1 The Immediate, all important
question for the city's aldermen.
Its mayor and Its newly appointed
v board of three to consider the
water question is this: How can
; lite rabbit, that is the local, exist
ing plant of the water concern, be
acquired?
To this- writer's mind the two
most direct and simple methods
have not been canvassed. They
are:
1. Arrange with the water com
pany to buy the plant subject to
the existing mortgage.
2. As an alternative arrange
ment, purchase plant with City
of Salem bonds, and rather than
sell these at the present depress
ed market, have the trustee for
the water company substitute
these bonds under the mortgage
Indenture, for the property of the
plant here.
The first arrangement is the
most direct and least complicated
and it is herewith elaborated.
To date most of the discussion
about acquiring the local ' plant
has followed this reasonings
Agree on a cash price with the
water company, that figure now
being discussed as 9950,000.' Then
find a market for Salem bonds,
currently quoted at 17 cents on
the dollar. Sell, enough of the
I bonds at 87 per cent of par (all
i legal -requirements hiving been
' met) to make a cash deal. This
would mean the city would need
to Issue 1.091,200 In bonds to
pay 950,000 In cash'. The water
company could hold that it had
oil its plant, for $950,000; the
buyer's price however, would be
11,092.000 for that would be. the
obligation incurred to make the
deal. '
' This writer does not believe
that cash Is the essence of the ac
quisition of the plant here nor
does he believe the citizens of Sa
lem . would acquiesce in the la-
' Suance of $1,092,000 of securities
to get a $950,000 cash price plant
, Better Terms are
Possible, Mortgage Idea
: Hence - the bond assumption
purchase which is after all, the
easiest and fairest plan:
The outstanding long term debt
of the Oregon-Washington Water
i Service company against the Sa
lient property la said to be $903,
000. This figure is approximate;
it eaa be accurately furnished by
the water company. This debt Is
in the form of 6 per cent bonds,
- interest payable semi-annually,

PORTLAND, Ore., Not. 4. UP)
While Portland streetcar employes
awaited the decision of Detroit
headquarters of the International
Streetcar Men's union on their
overwhelming vote in favor of a
strike, the belief grew here today
that the national labor board of
the NRA will voluntarily take a
hand in the matter in an effort to
avoid a strike. -
Members of the Portland local

Franklin T. Griffith, president
of the company, declined lb com

cents an hour on one-man cars
compared with the minimum of 40
cents an hour provided in the na

4. UP) Seven persons received
minor injuries tonight when part
of northbound Missouri Pacific
passenger train No. 8, en route
from San Antonio to Austin, left
the track six miles south of New
Braunfels. Cause of the derailment
was not determined immediately
but railroad employes considered
it likely that a split rail was re
sponsible. Salem merchants who had stocks
purchased before higher prices
were announced by wholesalers,
would push these stocks out to
the public at old prices to Illus

to afford people who purchase
during November, the advantage
of low prices which will not be
recurrent. '
Meanwhile scores of firms con

The crippled, creaking Bearcat
back field held together - long
enough to produce one touchdown
drive and the crunching Bearcat
line combined with air-tight aeriaj
defense effectively bottled up any
Badger threats, and bo Willam
ette university's gridmen stopped
Pacific's two-year winning streak
by turning in a 6 to 0 victory on
Sweetland field Saturday night.
Taking advantage of a Pacific
fumble on the Badger's 37-yard
line early in the first quarter,
the Bearcats got going immediate
ly, Johnny Oravee despite some
new ailments added to his bad
ankle ripping off a 13-yard run
to Pacific's 24, followed by two
more first downs to the Badger
two-yard mark. The Badgers held
there for two downs and then Gor
don Williams plunged over for the
touchdown. His kick for the extra
point was wide and the scoring
was ended for the evening.
A second drive was halted by a
penalty and a pass Interception,
and when a third one bogged
down on Pacific's two-yard line
Coach "Spec" Keene of Willam
ette took his cripples, Oravee and
Mills, out of the .lineup and let
the defense take care of the rest
of the game.
- That left the contest in a stale
mate condition with Pacific con
stantly in its own territory ex
cept momentarily after a couple
of pass interceptions. The Badgers
hurled passes repeatedly but never
once connected, and although the
aerial threat helped their running
attack, they accomplished only
two first downs, one on a penalty
and the other when Killits for
once broke away.
Manfred Olson and George Can
nady, two more of the Bearcat ball
carrying cripples, took the field
in the second halt but. Inactive
for most of a month, they did not
fare any too well although Olson
smacked into the line with all his
wonted power and caused a couple
of .Badgers to be carried off the
field.

Resignation Demanded
As Result of Slurs
In College Talk
Unfair Attacks Made
On Faculty, Claim
At Homecoming
EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 4 UP)
A ringing challenge to speeches
made at Eugene and Corral lis
Thursday by Roscoe C. Nelson of
Portland, -new president of the
state board of higher education,
a challenge which reached its cli
max with, the suggestion that
Nelson should resign at once. wa3
voiced here today by Wayne L.
Morse, dean of the University of
Oregon law school in an address
at the university's annual home
coming luncheon.
Referring to the addresses of
Nelson, in wbkfcL Nelson asked
for harmony among all persons
Interested in higher education
and Intimated that a small faction
of faculty members was thwart
ing that harmony, Dean Morse
declared:
"I trust that the alumni of
the University of Oregon are
fully aware of the fact that their
alma mater faces today the moet
serious crisis in its history. We
plunged into that crisis last
Thursday when the Honorable
Roscoe Nelson, in an address de
livered here on this campus, chal
lenged the certain fundamental
principles of academic freedom.
That challenge must not go un
answered, and if I understand
the temper of your faculty, it
will not go unanswered.
"Lack of" time forces me to
pass over certain astounding feat
ures of Mr, Nelson's tirade. . . .
Vicious Attack on Faculty
-But I shall dwell on Mr. Nel
son's Insulting, insinuating, un
fair and vicious attack on the
faculty of the University of Ore
gon. May I assure fou that my
emphasis does not mean that I
am angry. As a member of tne
faculty my feelings are too great
ly hurt. My sense of right and
fair play too completely crushed
to allow me to be angry. I
should like to disbelieve what I
know to be true, that Roscoe
Nelson, brilliant- lawyer, lovable
personality, a man for whom I.'
can sincerely say I have a deep
affection, stands today before the
people of Oregon as a man who
has been duped.
"In his address on this campus,
which was surpasses in awful
ness only by his address on the
Corvallis campus, he charged
that there exists on your faculty
a little coterie of faculty men
whose opposition to the adminis
tration roots in disappointed am
bitions and frustrated desires.
Time and time again he referred
to these men of mystery as cat
lllnes. . . .
Prove Case or Resign
Throughout his verbal as
saults on th faculty rang a plea
tor magnanimity of spirit. Where
was there any magnanimity o
spirit displayed certain members
of the faealty were cullty of
carping, 'critical censoriousness.
Who are these catillnes I chal
lenge Mr.- Nelson to return to
this campus and in meeting with
the university faculty name his
victims and prove a case against
them. If he cannot do so, then
let him. like the gentleman I
know him ta beat at heart, apolo
gise to the 'faculty of the Uni
versity of Oregon and resign
from the board.
"He was placed on that board to
bring about. harmony. His official
acts of Thursday disqualify him
completely as a harmonizer, there
fore he should resign at once in
the hope that there can be added
to the board a man of judicious
ness, a man who will keep himself
free from' partisanship, a man who
will not Attempt to intimidate the ;
faculties, a man 1 who recognizes
that higher education in Oregon
can be saved only , by a . friendly
exchange of points of view among
the board, the administration and
the faculties. Mr. Nelson's attack
on the university, has made It im
possible for self respecting faculty
men and women to work in har
mony with him.
: "After he left this campus, Mr.
Nelson went to Cor vails and there
he directed criticism after criti
cism at the faculty of the univer
sity. "Amidst much applause he flay
ed, the university. Unless you '
heard and saw his exhibition, you '
can not believe the facts. How-
ever, the Emerald report of that '
speech 'is accurate, and I shaJ
