Mar ion county house members, des perate over the stalemate, unwil ling to play political poker with the senate and risk an adjourn men unless the senate receded! and compromised, joined the rush to the old site and put through the Burke-Zimmerman - Fisher proposal in the lower house. j Assuming Governor Martin signs the capitol bill, appointment of the nine-man commission id supervise the capitol construc tion is expected before the week ends. Not an architect of con sequence has recommended con struction of a new capitol on toe old site and it was talked here yesterday that a structure cost ing less than $2,500,000 might be there .erected with enough funds left to provide a state lib rary and perhaps' another office building on adjacent property purchased by another legislature or on. property taken from the City of Salem in Willaon park. Space there can only be obtained by despoiling a portion of the park. Towering Structure Deemed Likely It is probable that the new capitol, cramped, for ground space, will be built high into the air, overtowering all other public structures in the city. In event it is determined to build both a capitol and office building the former structure probably would be limited to housing the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, board of control and legislative branch es. All other offices now without permanent quarters would be as signed to the new office struc ture. The main capitol building, un der this proposal, would not cost to exceed $1,700,000, i; Construction of three . build ings, including the capitol, office structure and state library, would reduce the cost of the main cap itol to not more than $1,300,000. Before any construction opera tions are started it will be neces sary for the capitol construction commission to determine how much space will be required by the various state departments and the general arrangement, of their offices. The present heating plant, located in the basement of the burned capitol building, would be utilized. Present Heating Plant Adequate, New Capitol This plant has a value of more than 150,000 and is of sufficient capacity to heat the proposed new capitol building or group of capi tol buildings and other struc tures on the present capitol grounds. As soon as the personnel of the capitol construction commis sion is announced a conference will be held with the state board of control. The federal government, under the terms of its grant, will con tribute approximately $1,125,000, while the state's share will ag gregate $1,375,000. This is on the basis of 45 per cent by the v ' . . a uuilU .

Upon a completion of the new capitol or capitol group an ef fort probably will be made to transfer a number of state de partments now located in Port land to' Salem. Officials said such a proposal would eliminate rentals and save the taxpayers a substantial am ount of money.

He urged every individual to become familiar with the world wide conditions today. "Speaking as the. voice oftbe unknown soldier, whose memory we honor today, we ought to have in our minds lines of convictions which should clear this tangled skein", Blenkinsop said, suggest ing such If nes as follows: j Suggests Program . i For Peace, Safety i Refusal to take any separate ac tion against Italy or Abyssinia or against any other European dicta tor; entry o'f the United States to . use the weapon of non-resistance; membership .in the League of Na tions on the part of the United States, which nation should up hold alao the League's principal of collective fiction; debar Italy from the Import of minerals and raw materials for the manufacture ot munitions as well as refusing Italy any financial credits; enactment of the universal draft act; use in fluence of the United States to bring about a peaceful settlement of the present Italo - Ethiopian crisis. i . , "America has military forces only for the purposes of defense and this is our sole and only basis for their existence," he said, in urging a non-resistance policy.
