ter, reported to the committee.
"The plan is to create a revolv
ing fund by borrowing money
from the state gasoline tax fund,
for the cashing of these war
rants," Gill said. "This Tirould
give the teachers some iniome for
their immediate needs. The mon
ey can be paid back into the fund
as the district takes up the war
rants." Gill uTged the committee to in
crease the tax on incomes In the
higher brackets as a means of
creating added revenues. He re
ported there is serious talk of a
statewide initiative for a capita)
levy unless some law of this na
ture is enacted. The grange mas
ter urged the legislature to mem
morialize congress to pass a law
authorizing the government to in
crease the income taxes in the
higher brackets and refund 25
per cent of the collection to the
respective states for use of the
schools.
A report given by a sub-committee
on education which made
a survey of the needs of the
schools of the state, estimated
funds aggregating 15,000,000

of the house' committee. Sena
tors yesterday afternoon adjourn
ed - e a r 1 y and ' Were liberally
sprinkled about the lower house
as the extended debate went on.
Representative John Beckman
opened -debate on the Knox plan,
reviewing the bill step by - step
and declaring it offered the best
alternative between prohibition
and saloon days. He declared a
similar system had . worked well
in-other countries. "If the- state
ever wishes to try this plan, now
is the time; once private inter
ests are embarked in liquor's sale
it will be impossible," he con
cluded. Ban on AdTertising
Sought by Nichols
Quick to move to amend HB 1
was Representative. Nichols, de
claring, he rose In the Interests
of the children to protest against
allowing the liquor . commission
discretionary powers in the mat
ter of advertising. Nichols re
quest for unanimous consent
amendment failed. Representative
Johnson urged that the advertise
ing matter be left to the com
mission. Representatives Winslow, Paget j
and Lewis joined with Nichols in
urging amendment of the Knox j
plan bill to ban advertising.
Representative Wyers opposed
the amendment and opposed go
ing into committee of the whole
as Nichols ahd moved after his
amendatory attempt failed. Wy
ers held radio and magazine as
well as direct advertising mall
from out of Oregon could not be
curbed here. Representative Price
joined with Wyers in contending
the commission was satisfactory
as a means of handling advertis
ing. Representative Oleen said he
was ready for the Knox plan If
the advertising clause was
stricken out.
When the vote to go into com
mittee of the whqle came, it re
vealed a strong majority in the
house were unwilling to amend
the committee's bill and hope of
opponents of the measure for long
debate and numerous amendments
waned.
Hilton Declaims
For Private Sale
Nevertheless Representative Hil
ton took the floor to speak for
nearly 30 minutes against the bill,
taking it up section by section and
protesting against its features.
Hilton opposed state operation of
business, held the (400,000 ap
propriation unwarranted, contend
ed the possibility for; graft was
large, and held a private license
system was infinitely better.
Representative Dean Walker
made a careful analysis of the bill
and contended it was a practical,
definite objective way of handling
a problem which was immediately
before the state. He dwelt at
length on the methods considered
by the alcoholic committee for fi
nancing the liquor stores and con
tended the method of borrowing
and of appropriation best.
Walker said the committee had
made its determination on policies
plain: it favored state operation
of liquor stores and opposed res
taurant and hotel sale of hard
liquors.
Representatiive Esles Snedecor
contended the Knox plan was the
best proposed bnt warned that It
should not be expected to pull gov
ernment "out of the mire of debt.'
"1 commend this plan for its so
cial control rather than its reve
nue aspects," the Multnomah' dele
gate stated.
Snedecor said that the federal
government was considering re
mitting a portion of its tax on
liquor, at the source, to the states
In order Ip discourage overtaxa
tion of liquor. Snedecor contended
the Knox -control plan fitted well
into such a project.
Representatives Abrams ' and
Paulus of the Marion county dele
gation each supported the plan.
paulus said he favored the pro
posal because it would assure
good, pure liquor for, Oregoniana.
He added that he supported It be
cause it struck. at the urofit mo
tive. Paulus averred the wine and
beer industry of Oregon should
be developed as a state, industry
of merit. - .
Relief Aspect Is ' -Stressed
by .Abrams
Abrams said he considered the
bill a worthy means of providing
relief for unemployment. He
stated there were many amend
ments he would have made were
he able, be objected to the local
option clause, he opined that per
fect control of liquor was never
possible and averred, thai prohibi
tion might some day. return. Be
cause the. measure is the beat
available and because the. profit
motive for private interests, mak
ing possible control of . govern
ment,' .will be put, Abrams. said.
he would support the measure. , .
Against the bill was Represen
tative Herbert Gordon of Multno
mah, who said he came to the ses
sion ror the Knox. plan. but pad
been convinced that it would not
raise the revenue estimated and
that the state should net appro
priate the needed capital.
Representative Cooter of Lin
coln county stood for . the ' hill,
holding it waa best tor youth. -
Representative Lonergan said
he thought the bill faulty in many
respects and averred it would be
better to send It back to commit
tee for revision. He said, however,
he was wlllinr to lay aside his
prejudices and support the meas
ure as the best immediate means
ot securing employment funds.
Representative John Hall swung
into a last-minute attack on the
measure, declaring the state had
no business selling liquor, that It
lacked the credit to finance itself,
that the druggists were best suit
ed in, experience and; setup to as
sume the task. - :r :-f: ',''',';'

'Eugenp
With plans for construction of 6,000 new airports throughout the nation
included in the Public Works re-employment program, Eugene VidaL
director of aeronautics at the Department of Commerce, recently an
nounced a plan, the goal of which is production of 10,000 low-priced air-
lanes by next Spring to make use of the new airports. To this end he
as sent questionnaires to 34,000 flying enthusiasts in an effort to deter
mine the extent of the market for planes to cost 3700 or less. The result
of this survey will be made available to the aviation industry, and manu
facturers, assured of a market for their product, can turn out the low
priced craft The present so-called "flivver plane" sells for less than
$2,000. but mass production would probably crreatlv lower its cost.
Hilton fought liquor legislation
in the regular session and now
should not presume to write the
regulatory act. He characterized
Hilton as a wrecker, not an archi
tect. He commended, the Knox
plan as suitable because it elim
inated private profit in hard li

According to the Salem city
attorney if the home rule pro
vision remains in force, Salem is
dry, but if not the state is em
powered to come here any time
under the Knox bill, and estab
lish liquor stores.. In 1910 the
home rule charter was written
into the state constitution. In
1914 and 1916 dry amendments
were passed, which in the belief
of some attorneys, eliminated the
home rule clause. Last year, how
ever, the dry amendments were
repealed without any provisions
being made for either the re
enactment or continued abolition
of the home rule bill.

ISSUED BY DOUGLAS
Symptoms of whooping cough
and mild cases of scarlet fever,
especial!y in the McKinley school
district, were uncovered yesterday
by. Dr. Vernon A. Douglas of the
county health bureau.
The number of cases of coughs,
while not exactly typical of
whooping cough, have been dis
covered in the south section of the
city and require th careful
watching of parents, Dr. Douglas
warned yesterday. Ordinary
whooping cough starts with a cold
for about two weeks and then
coughing which moves into the
whooping stage for sometimes
several weeks. The symptoms have
been noticed In pre-school age
children as welt as children or
school age. Dr. Douglas reported.
There is one case of scarlet fev
er in quarantine but several child
ren who have applied for read
mission to school show signs of
having had mild cases- of scarlet
fever, he said. There is an in
crease of scarlet fever in Portland
and Scio and several cases have
been reported in state institutions"
here. The scarlet lever symptoms
start with a sore throat for two
days, then a temperature and rash
breaks out, Dr. Douglas said.
'Joseph Dam9 New
Name Suggested
The new Bonneville project
would be named the "JosepH
dam," under the provisions of a
memorial Introduced by Senator
Brown of Marion county Friday.
Brown explained that George W.
Joseph, former state senator and
republican nominee for governor
at the time of his death, probab
ly has done more to promote pow
er development in -Oregon than
any other person. He said it was
appropriate that the Bonneville
project should be named in honor
of Mr. Joseph.
Library Volume

Approximately. 51,200 volumes
were shipped from the state lib
rary Jnto various parts of the
state in October and November of
this year, according to Miss Har
riet Long, state librarian. A to
tal of 25,000 of these books went
to traveling library stations In ru
ral schools, villages and Isolated
ranches. Twenty-six- thousand
books went out on loans to indi
viduals and to public libraries for
individual borrowers. The 51,200

The ehamber of commerce here
waa likewise relieved. It had not
given hearty support to Lipman's
proposal because it was . thought
existing flax and linen concerns
should be helped first and also be
cause it seemed that Llpman, who
sought locally , funds to go east to
Washington, was under-financed
to give the government any as
surance that the huge grant h
sought could be repaid.
Naturally if PWA was to grant
millions for flax and linen devel-j
opment ostensibly eager to get a
new industry, on its way and with
out too. much thought of security
Salem citizens wanted the con
cern to headquarter-here, in the
heart' of , the flax growing and

Democrats and republicans
alike lifted their eyebrows , when
the ' news came through. None
could; understand how PWA would
grant or loan such a sum (1) .to
a private concern, (2) not yet es
tablished in the flax and linen
business, (3) with no available
sum ot initial capital and (4)
without consultation of local flax
experts.

ed too costly when the operators
are haled into court every time
a machine is placed in operation,
one of the officials reported. Re
gardless of the fact that the ma
chines have to be returned to the
owners, the prosecution is so vig
orous tha. store operators do not
care to take the chance, he said;
Sheriff A. C. Burk of Marion
county, reported recently he
would not move against the slot
machine operators unless express
ly told to do so. The authorities
are being made a laughing stock
by the machine owners who may
claim their equipment after it has
been used for evidence. Sheriff
Burk maintains.
Deputy District Attorney Lyle
Page reported recently the sher
iff's office had ieen informed by
the district attorney that the
operation of the machines were in
violation of the law and should
be halted. District Attorney
Trindle last night reported that
the work of confiscating the ma
chines and then having to give
them up was disheartening but
that the violations of the law must

DEAD LETTERS TIT
IE
Delay in Sending to S. F.
Office- Is Obviated
By New Ruling
.. Have you ever , mailed an im
portant letter minus address of
any sort? , Don't blush; , you're
not the only one. Not -long ago,
for instance, a Salem man, tucked
some Important papers into an
envelope, pasted thereon airmail
and special delivery stamps, car
ried it to the postoffice that It
might catch the first train out
and forgot it, assured that 1 1
would reach its destination on
time.
But the envelope bore neither
the address of sender nor would-
be recipient. It went to the dead-
letter office in San Francisco
where It was opened, its contents
revealing the source and destina
tion, and eventually sent on its
way. A postal ruling forbade lo
cal authorities from opening the
envelope to determine the neces
sary facts and so a number o f
nours were Jost in wnat may nave
been a transaction in which min
utes were important.
This weekend marks the end ot

time. Local officials will here

half an hour a day will be neces
sary to take care of the new task

a member of the registry depart
ment. WAST BUILDING KEPT
