To Aid Agriculture
"Eligibility" Tangle Still
Confronts Legislators
, And Also Governor .
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
Highly desirous of more pleas
ant relations witl the agricultural
population of the state. Governor
Martin the past week made ob
vious overtures to demonstrate his
knowledge of and sympathy with
farm life. Going out of his way
to motor to the Eagle Creek
gTange in Clackamas county yes
terday, he pledged farmers there
assembled his support in "every
constructive effort for the ad
vancement of Oregon's agricul
ture." The previous day, the governor
had "conferred" with a Farmers
union group called to his office
here a window-dressing confer
ence to give strength to h:s at
tempt to allign agricultural inter-
nrltTi hSa nrnrrain of valleV
COW " " ..." ""O- -
dpvploDment and rural electrifi
cation.
At the conference here as In
the Clackamas county speech
the governor wasn't the general
he was a one-time Illinois farm
boy who went barefoot as a lad
on his father's rarm, wno Knew
how to pitch hay and to milk
cows. And the governor took
pains 500 words of care to re
count the history of the grange
movement, to laud National Mas
ter Taber, and to pledge anew his
own help in lowering taxes on
farm land in Oregon and in se
curing a lighter load of interest
on farm debts.
The Gill, Tompkins, Zimmer
man groups have been badgering
the new administration from the
time daring the legislature when
Mr. Martin shot a blast at the
grange lobby. The talk of recall
has bubbled up through farm and
labor groups. The overtures of
last week were aimed to be a
backfire to this coterie.
Gratified at Aid
Given by Pierce
Martin was highly gratified
with the support Congressman
Pierce last week gave the federal
power line project the governor
had espoused. Th eastern Ore
gon congressman evidenced great
interest and hearty support for
the governor's plan for federally
built power lines from Bonne
ville as well as Governor Martin's
idea that Oregon should get a
sizeable chunk of the $100,000,
000 Mr. Roosevelt has set aside
for rural electrification.
To heal the breach with Pierce
occasioned by the removal of Mrs.
Pierce from the- board of higher
education is feat enough for one
week, the executive offices con
sider. At the same time to win
a better position with farm groups
In the state through a friendly ad
dress at Eagle Creek and a care
fully planned goodwill conference
at the governor's office, is anoth
er accomplishment.
Persistent reports come from
Portland that a suit will be insti
gated there shortly to test the
constitutional right of Governor
Charles H Martin to hold office.
The agitation was started when
Representative Warren Erwin
wrote the attorney-general's of
- fice asking for an opinion on tbe
matter and the latter refused one
on the ground that a representa-
to opinions only on legislative
matters;
Erwin cited Article V, Section 3
of the Oregon constitution which
declares. . . "No person holding
any office under the United States
. . . shall fill the office of over
nor." The proponents of the test
suit contend Governor Martin, as
a retired major-general of the
United States army, is a federal
officer, subject to call for duty,
and to the rules of war and on a
75 per cent salary base.
Should such a suit be brought
It would be an ex rel proceeding
raised by a district-attorney or the
attorney-general's office. The lat
ter has scrupulously avoided ex
pressing its views on the moot
question In connection with the
matter of legislative eligibility.
No other public officer in the
state is anxious to carry the qnes
tion into the courts, because the
agitators in Portland are men who
rilalikA tha Incumbent and want
to embarass him. .' They will be
hard pressed to get an official to
bring the necessary Quo warranto
proceedings.
. Courts Have Held
Both Ways on Issue
There are court decisions on
both, sides of the question. . In
State of Texas vs. DeGress, the
supreme court of that state held
that "officers of the United States
army on the retired list , .
hold a lucrative office under au
thority of the united States or in
the language of the Texas consti
tution, an office of profit or trust
' . . . . the fact 4s too plain to admit
of being made more so." In the
Texas decision a retired army cap-

Ask to be Closed up When
Public Demands Payoff;
Spokane Chief Won't
SPOKANE. Wash., May 18-
-"I guess Barnum was right"
was the response of Police Chief
Ira Martin tonight as he turned
deaf ears to pleas of chain letter
brokers that they be closed and
to the irate clamor of customers
that the brokerages be forced to
"come through."
"There's a fool born every
minute," Martin commented, re
fusing to order the police to take
action to stop the letter brokers.
Entangled in a web of their
own weaving, the brokers who
roosted in vacant store rooms
and offices, pleaded with county
and city authorities to ,ejjpcat
ihom from a situation which
hnurlv erew more menacing as
their clients demanded the "pay
off."
"Barkers" who had promised
dividends in 24 hours were ab
sent from many of the places
which were jammed with cus
tomers as late as last night. There
was no effort being made to coax
fresh trade into the shops which
had been running several days
they didn't know what to do
with tbe crowd who had got in
on the ground floor and were due
to collect.
County Prosecutor Ralph E.
Foley flatly refused to become
involved in the tangle.
"We are not taking over their
troubles," he said in reference
to appeals by the brokers that he
stop their operations. "They got
themselves into this thing and
they can find their own way out.
If we close the places, we take
the blame for losses."
The planing mill of the Ham
mond Lumber company at Mill
City is operating steadily with no
prospect of an early shut down
according to Frank Taylor. who
was in the city yesterday. Mr.
Taylor has been with the Ham
mond company for the last 16
years. He said about 150 men
were working in the planing mill.
Rough lumber is being trucked
and railroaded to the planing mill
from considerable distances.
Taylor said three new, small
mills were soon to go into op
eration in the Mill City district
The Evans mill which has been
operating near Gates is being
moved Into the Detroit district,
Hayesman and Chestnut are set
ting up a shingle mill at Idlna
while Albany interests are putting
In a small mill near Mill City.
The main Hammond mill oper
ations at Mill City have eeased
and belts have been taken from
the machinery. The complete
Hammond operations formerly
employed 350 men.
Traffic Code to
Come up Monday
The city traffic code Introduc
ed by Alderman Cuyler VanPatten
probably will be reported back to
the city council Monday night
with several amendments. It was
believed last night. Several
changes In bus and truck traffic
regulations contained In the bill
were under fire at the public
bearing conducted by tbe ordin
ance committee last Monday. Al
derman Fred A. Williams, com
mittee chairman, said his commit
tee had not met to decide exactly
what report it would make.

Filter Bed on Island Will
Be Proposed as Soon as
City Owns Works.
Larger Mains to Take Care
Of Fire Fighting Needs '
Also Will be Asked
Prospects of an Improved wa
ter supply for Salem within the
next year exist In the impending
purchase ef the Oregon-Washington
Water Service company's
system, it was made known last
night by a member of the city
council's utilities committee. Also
as qnickly as possible, plans to
lay pipes large enough to pro
vide adequate water flow for
fire protection at danger points
will be put into effect.
As soon as the city takes over
the plant, Alderman Merrill D.
Ohling said, the committee con
templates proposing that a new
filter bed be built on Minto's
island, costing between $3000
and $4000. It would consist of
an arrangement of sand layers
expected to better the quality of
the water markedly. The pres
ent filter bed is largely a nat
ural gravel one. Improved some
what by the company last sum-
ber.
May Be Completed
Before Low Season
Ohling said he felt It might
be possible to put the new sand
filter into operation before the
critical period of the summer
extreme low river level is
reached. Complaints about the
water have peaked during this
period in past years.
The need for larger mains for
fire protection was brought
forcefully to the city's attention
recently by shortage of water
with which to combat the cap-
Jttol conflagration. It was out
lined in aetau oy me lire unaer
wrlters report on Salem a few
years ago.
The committee will ask the
council at Monday night's meet
ing to give it authority to - em
ploy an engineer to estimate the
amount of money' needed for
these immediate improvements.
John W. Cunningham, who has
handled all water engineering
work for the city since 1930,
doubtless will be the man se
lected. An adjourned session of the
aldermen will be called one week
from Monday night to authorize
sale of water bonds to pay tbe
company $1,000,000 for the sys
tem, finance municipal operation
and make improvements, it is
planned.
T
ATTACK ON SALARY
Governor Charles H. Martin ex
pressed amusement yesterday over
threatened suit to determine whe
ther the chief executive could re
ceive more than $1500 a year as
salary under the state constitu
tion. "I see where Ed Jory thinks I
am making too much money," he
commented. "He forgets that I
prevented the legislature from
preventing half of my 30 per cent
reduction In salary.' -.
Martin's basic "salary is $7500;
as set by law, but he is under a
30 per cent reduction from that
amount, passed by the 1933 leg
islature. Twenty-seven per cent
of the cut was retained by the
1935 session.
Farmers Plan
Breaking
PORTLAND, Ore., May 18-tiP)
-Farmers of Washington county
In Northwestern Oregon are or
ganized and ready to break forci
bly the lumber strike in their
area. It was revealed tonight.
The revelation came as an
nouncements and rumors of
strike settlements at various Pa
cific northwest operations- were
heard.
Most hopeful in the strike In
volving more than 30,000 Oregon
and Washington lumber workers
was announcement that 800 men
will return to work Monday un
der a union-employer agreement
at mill and plywood operations
at Hoquiam, Wash. i
Sheriff John W. Connell of
Hillsboro, Ore., tonight said
Washington county farmers fear
loss of a $1,000,000 strawberry
crop through inability to obtain
boxes, barrels and crates because
of the lumber tieup. -
They are prepared to "meet any
emergency," he said significantly,
and it will be "just too had" if
anyone attempts to stop the
planned re-opening.
It was understood the farmers
would see that projection was af
forded' for resumption of opera-tlona.

VETO WILL PREVAIL
CHECKUPIICATES
No Votes Changed in Upper
House; Personal Appeal
Of F. R. May Help
WASHINGTON, May 18.-(P)-While
President Roosevelt com
pleted a 6ternly worded bonus
veto, a check of senate votes to
day disclosed that his rejection
of the inflationary $2,200,000,
000 Patman bonus bill almost
certainly would be upheld.
A virtually complete survey
failed to show a single change In
the 35 votes registered or an
nounced against the inflationary
bill when it passed the senate
early last week, despite the In
tense anti-veto campaign conduct
ed by its friends. Should 33 vote
with the president the veto would
be upheld.
On the other hand, several sen
ators who voted for the bill ori
ginally appeared to be wavering
in view of the president's drama
tic show of determination to kill
the bill. The executive's inten
tion to appear personally to pre
sent his veto, a hitherto unpre
cedented action, was held by ad
ministration leaders to have al
ready made itself felt.
Despite the solid front of votes
against them, Patman bill lead
ers In a conference today decid
ed to face the showdown imme
diately after the chief executive
delivers his message, without pro
longing the issue by debate.
