PAGE TWO The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Saturday BUrning,, August 31, 1935 ASKS sumo That Lowest Price W.U. Can , Accept, Estimate From !. 'Architect's Report .- (Contlnaed from Page 1) going over their statements care fully the committee Accepted the architects flgares, w n 1 c u were found to be .based on costs of con struction at other similar educa tional Institutions In the north west;1 These tlraxes were submit ted to the fovemor'B committee. Tn toUl figure was not eD,((, u va widely reported. but was 850,OO0 for the construe i tlon of a new college plant on an adequate site on the upland of Bush's pasture to be furnished to the ttahrerslty. Having arrived at that t lsur4a the basis indicated, te committee does not feel that it 'can eater Into a bargaining pro position. To accept less would be t Jeopardise the service which the achoolia bow renderinr. Wldnt Be Able T Ancmeait Fends ."TJe university is not support ed by publle taxation and is not tdeto levy taxes to build a plant aajd acquire' a site or to meet its operating costs. The trustees have operated the university for more than 30 years without debts and deficits. They feel -that It would hte iinwls.fi tn nltpr that.nnliev and assume a load of debt for con struction purposes. Further, the present is an Inopportune time to put on a campaign to raise money far college buildings. J' We feel for these reasons that we would not be Justified in re commending to the trustees of the university the acceptance of any siim or the campus which would not give Willamette facilities equivalent to its present plant." The report on the conversations was to be filed with Governor Martin at Salem by the capitol site committee consisting of Oscar Harter. K. B. MacXaughton and Roy F. Shields. Members of the Willamette committee attending were Mr. Smith, C. A. Sprague and Robert C. Notson. Dr. Bruce R. Baxter, president, and Paul Wal lace, a member of the board of Willamette, also toek part in the conference. IUI0TT TEliS VIEWS kit session (Continued from Page 1) Mott dubbed as bad the Guffey coal bill, which, he said, attempt ed to set up a "private NRA" in the .soft coal industry after .that method of industrial regulation had been, found unconstitutional by the supreme court. Oregon Wen Treated, Says Congressman Oregon, the first-district repre sentative feels, has been well serv ed by the congress Just adjourned. Flood control surveys of rivers tn the first district will be shortly nndertaken as a result of nine bills passed and in addition, a re clamation survey of the Columbia river, originally planned for only the Washington shore, will be ex tended to Oregon. A sum of 159.000 la now being spent and fie a &. i . . win oe spent, on me wuiamette: three-fifths of this amount was appropriated by the last congress. On the coast, Mott reviewed authorized appropriations for har bor changes, which will include Goes Bay, TJmpo.ua Bay, and Ya ulna Bay. Necessary dredging f the Columbia was also provided tor. The continued operation of Che nawa Jndian school was assured by the 74th congress, Mott stated. "Salem and Oregon can feel rea sonably assured," he added, "that Chemawa will keep open in future years, despite official sentiment favoring the closure of the school." Oregon Roads Will Receive Their Share Oregon roads will receive their share of the four billion works relief appropriation made by con gress, Mott feels sure. Of this sum, 13.90,000,000 has been set aside for highways, and this state's "cut" will be set by federal high way regulations. Rural post roads are to be improved out of this . sum, as are more Important arteries. Reviewing the deficiencies of congressional labors as a whole. Mott declared that the biggest mistakes lay In not providing an efficient farm relief program, the overlooking of permanent unem ployment relief, and in passing ad mittedly unconstitutional laws. In the fields of national poli tics. Oregon's representatives from the-first district forecast in the next election a decrease by half f the democratic majority in the bouse. Such a distribution of powers-he affirmed, unequal though it would . be, would compel con sideration of every bill, something c Call Board r - . , . .JELSC?

Mott was mum as far as 1936 predictions were concerned. That Huey Long lost a lot of support when he filibustered the third deficiency bill, was Mott's opinion. Steps are being taken in Washington to make up for losses brought about by this blockade af ter the grand manner, he asserted. "Oregon can have money from the federal government for a new state capitol, but she'd better hur ry up," he emphasized. "But what 1 want ngnt now. is to get up to the mountains, the congressman concluded. "It was a tough session, and we're all tired." And so Breitenbush for two weeks is Mott's plan. He intends to go with his family, who, in cidentally. he hadu t seen since last April when Mrs. Mott return ed from Washington with their four - months - old baby. His two daughters have been attending St. Helen's hall in Portland. On his return from the moun tains, he will open his office In Salem, probably in the postoffice building. A tour of the district will take up about two months of hia time before returning to Washington in January. In the meantime, the Mott family will re side in Salem, where the two elder children will attend school. PENSION SIlTIi BE UNAFFECTED Budgeting of Marion county old age pensions this November will not be affected by the holding up of government funds for old age gratuities, said members of the county court yesterday. It was de clared that with the same amount budgeted as last year, the county will be in a position to handle the "matching" proposition of con gress when it is put into effect. The government will pay one half, the state one-quarter, and the coanty one-quarter, under so cial security legislation recently signed by the president. Maximum pension paid by the county now is $7.50 per month. under federal legislation, the pro posed $30 per month pension may not be met from county funds as budgeted last year, since the coun ty appropriation at that time was $60,000, and a similar amount will meet requirements of federal legislation. Among important matters com ing up at the budget meeting in November will be the question of remodeling of the courthouse.
