1930. Fear of banks, which men
aced business In 1933, was all
gone with local deposits probably
the highest on record.
The credit of the city and of
the Salem school district was
never 'better despite the large is
sues which each instrumentality
issued. Rates ranging from 2
per cent to 3 per cent were ob
tained on long-term issues, by
far the fcpst interest charges the
local governmental bodies had
ever obtained for their obliga
tions. Merchants and manufacturers,
city officials and county leaders
were quite uniformly agreed as
the year closed that Salem and
Marion county were to see a bet
ter .1936 than 1935 had been and
that the depressed years of the
first half of this decade, were
definitely behind.

The Chemawa Indian school

pils. A four -year vocational
course with the required aca

about 30 trades. The graduating
class of 1933 numbered 60, rep
resenting 30 tribes.
Indian students are enrolled
from Wyoming, Montana, Idaho,
Washington, northern California
and Oregon.
The superintenfiency of the
school also embraces the Sileti

lation of more than 400, tho
Grand Ronde reservation with a
population of somewhat over 350,
and the Indians on public do
main west of the- Cascade moun
tains, numbering about 300.
The Indians are cittiens and
their children are eligible to at

these reservations.
The principal work In connec

Trial of Relief
Plan Scheduled
(Continued from Page 1) -
employable men who cannot get
work on WPA because they were
not on relief May, 1935, consti
tute a big additional problem for
the county, Roy Melson, county
commissioner said yesterday.
"We have certified these men
over to WPA and they are ready
to go to work but Harry Hopkins,
to date, has not relaxed his rule
that anyone who had a job this
summer cannot now get WPA
aid," Melson said. "I think this is
not a fair rule. .These men are en
titled to WPA jobs. For the time
being, however, they greatly aug
ment the load the county and the
state will have to carry under di
rect relief."
State officials are keeping very
silent on the matter but there is a
possibility that decidedly more
than 31,000,000 will be available
for relief for the counties in 1936.
Official View of
1936 Is Hopeful
WASHINGTON, Dec. Zl.-py-Spokesmen
for government, bus
iness and organized labor speak
ing generally in optimistic terms
welcomed the New Year tonight
with suggestions for carrying for
ward in 1936 the recovery gains
of 1935.
The expressions of optimism,
however, were not unqualified.
One bnsiness leader sawebstacles
should government impose "bur
dens" on employers. A labor chief
tain was concerned with the fate
of new deal legislation in the su
preme court.
Secretary Roper summarized
the government outlook as fol
lows: "On the basis of the broad gains
recorded In the economic and so
cial life of the nation in 1935 and
in view of the cumulative strength
of the recovery forces, business
and industry should now move
forward courageously In the New
Year with long term programs,
looking forward to sound and
stable progress."

had appropriated modest sum
for Imoeratlvely needed state
hnildinrs durlna- the 1935 ses
sion, decided to augment its
plans and to add a PWA grant to
the amount already appropriated
by the session. The state, like the
school district, was immediately
successful in its applications.
While the PWA handout was
on., $100,000,000 was allocated
for abolition of grade crossings
throughout the United States.
The alert Oregon highway com
mission gots its $2,000,000 share
and as a result $380,000 is to
go into north Salem this year to
swing the Pacific highway there
under the tracks of the Southern
Pacific

high school $179,000, grade
school,. $725,600, state hospital
addition $181,000 and blind
schooL $79,362. An additional
$482,355 outlay, $380,000 for the
Pacific highway undercrossing at
the north city limits and $102,355
for adding a third floor, to the
state tuberculosis hospital, is ex
pected to begin early in the new
year outside the city.
