(Ctatlanrrt from mn 1
tain was ousted. as mayor of the
City of Aastin on the grounds of
constitutional ineligibility.
Ia a California case, however,
the supreme court held that a re
tired army officer was not hold
lag: a federal office of trust, that
he would not hold such a post un
til he was called into serrice and
that as a consequence he could
constitutionally hold state office
In California.
The entire issue hinges on the
Question of whether a retired
army officer "holds a federal of
fice. If he does, he is plainly in
eligible to be governor under the
Oregon constitution. If his status
is that of a pensioner, not holding
a position of trust, he is eligible.
The conviction grows that Ralph
Moody, deputy attorney - general
who wrote the.legislatire "purge"
opinion, knew the law and that
hla'nnlnion will stand a aunreme
court test. Moody's findings, so
much in demand about the state
that mimeographed copies hare
been prepared, enunciate the. doc
trine set forth in Oregon's consti
tution that an administrative and
legislative office cannot be held
by the same person. I'
The soundness of the Moody
opinion accounts for the- with
drawal in Portland of the test .suit
which Representative William
Johnson was to wage to keep his
liquor store Job and his legislative
position. Johnson's advisers told
him he would he licked in court.
They counselled that he would do
better to drop his suit and come
down to Salem for the special ses
sion, taking a chance that the
legislature as Judges of the quali
fications of its members, would
seat him. With an attorney-general's
opinion on the question of
eligibility alone before it, John
son's advisers said the democra
tic house might ignore the alleg
ed inability; had the matter been
tried In the supreme court and ad
judicated against Johnson and his
fellowg, the state would not be so
generous to legislators who re
fused to declare vacant the posts
held by Johnson, Wallace, et al.
Fight In Legislature
Looms Over Eligibility
If Representatives Johnson and
Wallace continue to claim they'
are members of the legislative as
sembly, a fight is certain when the
-.2-1 a 1 . i. - i. j .
mco pii-Keu uy me uusru; Ul coun
ty commissioners try to take their
seats. Public sentiment sustains
the Moody opinion and looks with
disfavor on the attempts of a leg
islator to hold two jobs.
Another . opinion by Mr. Van
Winkle's office impends. It will
answer Secretary of State Snell's
questions regarding the status of
the S5000 emergency fund appro
priation made for the state fair,
two Totes for which were cast by
legislative lame-ducks. Represen
tatives Semon and Cooter. Since
these men have been declared out
cf the legislature through accept
ance of a state job, the attorney
general is forced to rule that
votes they cast on the emergency
board were invalid. Hence the
appropriation will be illegal.
In the opinion will also be a
statement on the position of leg
islators who hold city, county and
district offices. The trend of court
decisions in other states, which
deny legislators the right to other
"state" Jobs, has been that muni
cipal offices are not "state" Jobs.
By such reasoning a port commls
. aionershiD is not a state 1oh and
therefore Senator Harry Corbett
can continue to hold his npper
house position.
The wisest of the "banned" leg
islators hav.e taken the attorney
generalli ruling at face value, re
signed their incompatible "Jobs,
lined np their county courts and
cured "reelection." That was
the course taken by Representa
tive Harry Semon of Klamath
Falls and it worked smoothly. Se
mon will be back for the special
session without any taint of II
loyality attached to the post he
tolda.
JudffS L O. tvalltn'i wt-
sion on the right of the board of
conirol to raze the statehouse
walls was welcome news to Salem.
The court dismissed Its temporary
Injunction, first, on the basis that
Henry Zorn and the three other
plaintiffs were without authority
to bring auit, as Individuals
against the board of controL Any
action they might instigate must
eome into court as a suit on the
relationship of the state to the
board with a district attorney
or the attorney general's office
bringing the action.
Would Have Raied
Against Injunction
Judge Lewelllag went farther,
however. He declared that had the
'suit been properly brought he
would have ruled for the board
and denied the injunction. The
legislature's delegation of the
power to raze the old eapitol was
inherent in the state restoration
set, he , declared. Fun da were
'available from restoration moneys
already appropriated; By thus en
larging his decision Judge Lewel
ling blocked an opportunity for
the Marion County Taxpayers' lea
gue to come into court on an ex
rel proceeding and to seek
through such action another in
junction against the board. . ,
The tax leaguers are consider
ing an appeal to the state-supreme
court. However, the board of con
trol is now free to raze the eap
itol and by the time the supreme
court could, hear the appeal and
deride K, the walls of the old
structure will be down. Salem en
visioning a new, modern eapitol,
not- a structure built from the
ruins of the old statehouse, sees in
the Lewelllng decision an initial
rTictory In the fight It knows will
be waged before as adequata new
capifoVia secured. ' : :

Two Kinds of Bridge Construction
?
J iT'' y
Months ahead of schedule, engineers are bow working double time
to finish the steel work on the towers of the bridge which win
bring San Francisco and Oakland together. Extending for 23,000
feet ever the San Francisco bay waters, the bridge will really be
two enormous structures, each longer than the largest bridge yet
built. The phantom view of the Airflow De Soto in the foreground
shows the bridgelike construction of the famous Airflow frame,
considered by many motor experts as the safest car ever built, W. Jj.
Anderson company is Salem dealer for De Soto.
Washington, the Btate highway
department is uncertain about th
exact amount of funds it will have
for 1935-1936 road work and the
uses to which these moneys can
be put.
In the initial distribution of
the $4,000,000,000 public works
fund last week, highways received
$500,000,000, of which $100,000,
000 comes under the Hayden
Cartwright act of 1934. Oregon's
share under the direct grant for
roads and highways is $3,038,
t00; under the Hayden - Cart
wright distribution the state is to
get $1,548,000 additional. State
Highway Engineer Baldock is not
certain whether the latter amount
is to apply to federal-state pro
jects already under contract here
but not paid for by the govern
ment, or whether it is an addition
al distribution of Hayden-Cart-wright
funds.
Secondary Highways
May Get One-Fourth
Of the $3,038,000 granted out
right. 25 per cent will go for sec
ondary roads if last year's alloca
tion is followed, 25 per cent for
work within cities and the remain
der can be spread over the major
roads of the state.
In addition, the state gets $2,
334,000 this year for grade cross
ing elimination.
By the time the grant money is
thinned throughout the state, it
will not go far towards the com
pletion of such projects as the
Wolf Creek and Wilson river
roads, the relocation and recon
struction of the Pacific highway,
or the improvement of the roads
in eastern Oregon where expendi
tures were so ardently sought by
the eastern Oregon delegation in
the last legislature.
Grade crossing elimination, a
new field for direct federal grants,
will improve existing roads, It is
true, Dut it will not make the
showing that a like amount nf
money spent on major highway re
construction would provide.
or every dollar the federal
government will put on Oregon

SENSED BY EXPERT
But Most of Us Can't Know
In Advance, Goodrich
Technician Says
"To the professional driver 'who
senses every variation In the per
formance of his ear as acutely as
he feels his own body, a blow-out
is neither unexpected nor under
favorable conditions a catastro
phe." K. D. Smith, technical su
perintendent of the B. F. Good
rich company writes in a recent
issue of the American, Legion
Monthly.
"Hour after hour, test drivers j
travel at high speeds on highways
and tracks to learn Just how long
a tire will last. They know blow
outs may eventually come, but
several seconds in advance the
professional feels a blow-out is on
the way. If be has been traveling
at 80, he is braked down to per
haps 40 by the time tin tire lets
go. And because of his skill, about
the worst that can happen Is that
his car leaves the roads and rolls
a few yards with no harm either
to car or driver.
"Unfortunately for most of us.
our blow-outs, if we have any,
come under less favorable auspi
ces tha:. the professional test
driver's. Not one driver ia 100,
000 is attuned so sensitively to
his automobile that he feels a
blow-out in advance.
"The average driver, when a
blow-out comes, does not usually
know ho-.- to keep his car under
control. On one side may be tele
graph poles and a ditch, on the
other oncoming cars also travel
ing at high speed. If he eludes
both sets of hazards and comes
to a stop right side up, he haj had
at least a normal individual's
share of luck, especially since
most tires blow at higher speeds
than at low."

By FRANK DAVEY
May IS, 1935, is an anniver
sary of pleasant memory to me.
Forty -seven yeara ago. May 16,
1888, I began work in The States
man office and I enjoyed its
friendly atmosphere almost con
tinuously until May, 1"7, when
I went to Burns on the advice of
my physician to try a climate
more favorable for lungs for
which he then had fear, which
was fortunately groundless.
I began at the business desk
and bookkeeping, succeeding a
man who since became prominent
In Central America. Isaac A.
Manning, first as U. S. consul in
Nicaragua and later as ' coffee
raiser. I successively filled the
posts of reporter, city editor and
managing editor, while Mr. Hen
dricks was the real head of all
literary and business activities
and for most of those years
George H. Saubert, Ms partner,
had charge of the mechanical
work.
I think Mr. Hendricks was the
most indefatigable worker and
the best tempered man I ever
knew and I guess he hasn't shed
either quality yet. He had only
a few months before I began
working in the office married one
of the finest and prettiest girls
in Marion county and I have no
doubt that is what made him and
what has kept him so good temp
ered. They each would much
rather spread sunshine than
gloom and each has brightened
many a home and fireside during
the intervening years.
The Daily Statesman was a
four-page paper in 1SS8 and it
has been a great pleasure to me
to see its constant growth and
progress until it has reached its
present metropolitan proportions
and with its fine prosrect for a
greater growth and a richer field
of operations.
For some years all the copy
furnished the printers was a hand
product, although Mr. Hendricks
early procured a "portable" type
writer which he carried every
place he went (I guess to his
meals also) and hammered on
it incessantly. Later we had one
of the early large machines which
worked like an old threshing ma
chine but did pretty good work
at that.
Reporting was harder work
than it is at present. The "as
signments" covered wide terri
tory and everything that such ter
ritory was liable to produce in
the news line. Salem had not lost
its neighborly disposition and its
interest in the movements of fel-

low citizens, consequently person
als were an important feature, so
we took In the main passenger
trains, noting the arrivals and de
partures, not confining ourselves
to notables, bat Including Sir. and
Mrs. Ordinary Citizen. We Includ
ed the statehouse and had to dig
up our news there It wasn't pre
pared ia advance and handed out
in prescribed form then. The
keenest nosed reporter got the
breaks and the dodger of work
didn't get much. With courthouse
officials and police was the same
experience. Some of the officials
considered it their duty to think
up news, although they were
courteous and willing to respond.
with more candor and leas of sel
fish propaganda than is met with
today.
We ran to all the fires in those
days and it was often a tough job
to run a mile, absorb the parti
culars of a fire, run back and
write out a comprehensive de
scription for the morning issue,
as most of the important biases
occurred at bedtime or late. But
those were great days and we
were all healthy and happy.
One of my most pleasant mem
ories of my early yea-j with The
Statesman was my association
with that walking encyclopedia of
historical and political knowledge,
D. W. Craig, who was then an
editorial writer on the paper. He
was the most modest and kindly
man I hare ever met and one of
the clearest thinkers. Edgar B.
Piper, later for several years edi
tor of the Oregonian, was city
editor of The Statesman when I
began with It but went to Seattle
that year. Will H. Parry, who la
ter went to Seattle and became
quite prominent there, came to
The Statesman in the fall of '88
from the Capital Journal, which
he helped to organize in March
that year. Mf. Parry was an Eng
lishman by birth and had a won
derful ability as a neSvs getter.
Salem was but a small city
when I began as a part of The
Statesman force. There are very
few here now who were in adult
activity here at that time, but
such as are must feel proud of
the advance it has made in all
that goes to make a desirable
home city, in population, both in
number and quality; in culture
and material progress and in all
the elements of the very best city
life, and they must be all proud;
also of the splendid part in all
this progress by the Morning
Statesman which has never failed
to make Salem and its prosperity
its first and most important con
sideration. Frank Bavey
Man Can Talk
With God, Says
Noted Psychologist
A new and revolutionary reli
gious teaching based entirely on
the misunderstood sayings of tha
Galilean Carpenter, and designed
to show how we may find, under

power which Jesus used in per
forming His so-called Miracles, is
attracting world wide attention
to its founder. Dr. Frank B. Rob
inson, noted psychologist, author
and lecturer.
"Psychlana," this new psychol
ogical religion, believes and teach
es that it Is today possible for
every normal human, being, un
derstanding s p i r i t n a 1 law as
Christ understood it, to duplicate
every work that the Carpenter
of Galilee ever did It believes
and teaches, that when He said,
"the things that I do shall ye do
also," He meant what He said
and meant it literally to all man
kind, through all the ages.
Dr. Robinson has prepared a
6000 word treatise on "Psychi
ana," in which he tells about his
long search for the Truth, how
he finally came to the .full reali
sation of an Unseen Power or
force so dynamic in itself that
all other powers and forces fade
Into insignificance beside . it
how he learned to commune di
