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

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. One of those convicted by
our office, has confessed he alone
has-stolen between 7000 and
- 10,000 chickens. There has been
tor many years past, and are ln-
..creasingly numerous complaints
of law violations -that have ne-
cessitated the sending of an offi

against any action or investiga

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.

county committee here has had an
executive committee meeting with
democratic warhorses like A. M.

The New Ford V-8 occupies both the fine

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.
