'T , f t-rJJ"i rf a--- --- i ' I s -Ok Sheriff Understood Judge McMahan Okeft Accorded Gooa Time for Work - tween the herif r office and Judge McMahan, nd so that there would be a complete un tfersUnding as to what the coart wanted as to the conduct 'and policy of accepting and -delivering prisoners ' for trial, etcV be tween the two departments. Dur ing this conference I freely and frankly stated to Judge McMahan, that I had been newly elected to office,' and' that since he" had been there for sncb a long time, I felt that I would like his ad vice as to what had been the practice, custom and disposition f prisoners in general, in re gard to their confinement. My im pression was, from an outgrowth of that conversation with the Judge, that the prisoner serring time in the count, jail there in ' say custody should be allowed a day's good time fr every day that he bad been working for the county as a trusty; provided of course, flat the man was not a Tlcious prisoner. Of course I adopted this policy, and so in structed the' chief deputy, New- - ell Williams, and stated to him -twpw-t the source of my information. This applied to all prisoners gen- -k- erally. , . "Naturally upon my return to " the city today, I was very much , '-'surprised and sorry to find the 'V . condition that has developed dur- . " Ing my absence. In the light now - of the subsequent events and par- ; ticularly from the position that . Judge McMahan has taken, be yond any question of a doubt I " clearly misunderstood the- pur - port of that particular conversa tion, relative to the -good time allowance to prisoners. Battles Returned To Serve Full Tlmo ... "In the-Battles' case there has been a mistake tn the computing, as it appears now; la the good " time, together with; Battles being given credit from his first entry into the; Jail and confinement, rather than being-computed from the date of his committment. In this there has been a clear mis take and error in our office. Ev erett Battles is now and was upon my arrival into the city in the county! jail, and will remain there until the full expiration of his sentence. "At this i time I desire to say . further that In fair explanation of the mileage for north and south highway patrol situation. 7 that immediately after I had tak en charge of the sheriff's office v numerous complaints from farm- era and persons living in the i county having complained of los f log live stock, and particularly poultry The result was that I placed a deputy out of my office to cooperate with another state police officer in a special effort to apprehend those guilty of these misdeeds, and to put a stop to this practice. Everyone knows that poultry thieves had Taeen op erating after dark In this county, and It has been necessary in their, apprehension to travel all bight long and a great many miles. To date our office has ap prehended 57, 40 of whom have , been duly sentenced and con victed.

POIITIB HOTE EARLY SPRING (Continued tram pat 1 Senator Brown's governshlp can didacy leaves hla senate post va cant; Senator Spaulding also must shortly choose between a race for reelection and a chance for the higher post. So new names are be ing talked tor these posts. Carle Abrams, representative, would not mind elevation to the upper house although he has not decided on the race, feeling he, would prob ably have less trouble running for reelection to his present lob. Mayor Douglas McKay is urged by his friends to run; McKay pro tests that he needs to spend his time in business but McKay has shown aptitude In political life' and has a yen for more of It. The senatorship also would keep Mc Kay, retiring this year as mayor; in the public eye and givehim a springboard for a governorship dire in 1938. Representatives Gouley, Paulua and Martin are not ready to an nounce their intentions for the spring but each can be counted upon to run again in the ordinary run of things. Paulus might take a flier at the senatorship, recall ing the fact that he topped the representative ticket two yean ago. Jack Mlnto, young Salem at torney, is being urged by friends to run and Dr.. B. F. Pound is considered a very probable candi date for a house Job. Pound, now on the Salem school board, likes political life and would enjoy a session in the legislature im mensely. Only two courthouse jobs come up for filling this year: The coun ty Judgeship and the commission er s post now held by James E. Smith. Both smith and County Judge Siegmund can be counted upon as candidates to succeed themselves. Martin Ferrey will seek the judgeship, stressing his qualifications to handle the pro bate and the Juvenile court work. In the county and in the state. the democratic leaders are cer tain to enter a slate this spring. Already Chairman Marshall of the county committee here has had an executive committee meeting with democratic warhorses like A. M. Dalrymple and B S. Martin at unless The finest motor cars made in this country iise Y-type engines. You cannot buy any of these except the Ford V-8 for less than 152000 plus. The New Ford V-8 occupies both the fine car class and the low-price field. It brings to the average driver the advantages formerly found only in the most expensive cars. Quicker starting in cold weather, faster acceleration, greater speed and . power and more miles per gallon at all speeds are features of the Ford V-8for 1934. V The engine is the most important part of any automobile. Other features may con- j tribute to your comfort and convenience, put it is the engine that The Ford V 8 tending to talk over the possible candidates for the offices Short-; ly the ? entire committee will be summoned and thereafter one may expect news on the democratic aspirants for county office, v The board of higher education ran through a program last week outlined by the American Associa tion otTJnl versify Professors. Un der it, the? state college and the' university feach . receive acting presidents who are supposed to be stop-faps between the faculties the chancellor and the board. The precise 'duties of these men has not been agreed upon; that will be the major question before the. board, when it reconvenes January 29. The hoard has been mute on the highly Inflammatory question of the chancellorship: the president-appointment is considered only one phase of the "truee" pre scribed by the A". A. U. P., It is e liably understood the visiting pro fessors will not publish their re port until summer, it at all, hoping the board of higher education fur ther smooths, the troubled educa tional waters in Oregon. Whether that means Dr. W. J. Kerr will end his chancellorship at the end of the year, no one authentically knows. Eugene partisans regard that outcome as a part ot the truce. The sales tax, evidently assured of referendum. Is being dissected throughout the state at numerous public meetings and through the press. Partisans of the tax want Governor Meier to come out more frequently for the tax, going so far as contributing, to a fund for its support. To date the governor has taken the attitude that he has done his bit in supporting the tax through the legislature; it will be up to the P. T. A., to tax leagues and school groups to push the bill over at the May elections or attend at the obsequies.
