PAGE TEN Child Ginics Held Success University Expert Tells Rotarians of Aid. to "Odd" Children . -Dr. Henry Dixon, professor of psychiatry in the Unirersity of Oregon medical school, discussed at the-Rotary club Wednesday the work now being done in clinics in the leading cities of the state in reclaiming "atypical" or odd chil - dren. These problem cases arise In environment which affects be barter. Child personality develop pattern habits' and If xthese are ; conditioned in "certain ways the - child seta a feeling of insecurity and so develops abnormally. This type Is not born bad, said Dixon, but is a product of environment -' and the responsibility rests on so- ciety. .... I : , Unless these individuals are set right and readjusted in their ear It years their - attitudes .become fixed and they become the mate rial to feed training schools, pen- v iteatleries and , asylum. Saving them to society will thus reduce : greatly their y later, cost to the state. . " .

She was born in a branch of the Keil colony at Nineveh, Mis souri, and was brought by her people in the fifth and last colony covered wagon train, coming to Aurora in 1867, when a small girl. Her father, Charles Becke, sr., lived into his 97th , year. He was related by marriage to Dr. Wil liam Keil, founder and head of the famous colony. . s 'r At their Nineveh shops, the col ony .made boots and8hoes on a considerable . scale, -- and had a wide trade in pioneer Missouri and beyond her brothers. Charles Becke; sr., was superintendent of thai factory. The colony founded the town of Nineveh, 60 7 miles away from Bethel, the first loca tion, because it was on the Sher idan . river, and so water power was .available for some of their factories. . .-. .- , Relief Rolls to Drop in February Relief rolls in Marion county will ahow .a considerable decrease in dumber next : month, Glenn Niles, relief administrator, pre dicted yesterday. MWe have kepi some persona on relief this month until they could get placed with WPA and with other federal agen cies," Niles said. "These agencies have ; absorbed a considerable number of men and women the last fortnight and as a result the connty rolls-will drop." - Niles said he bad no definite figures on the number of persons now on relief in the county but would make them available in his report next month. -, URGES PRIMARY CHANGE To the Editor: 5 ... In voters pamphlet, Carney, Hamilton and Kirkpatrick in their argument against a change In time of our primaries from May until September say "Thus It will bring back to Oregon the old convention system of nominating such candi dates. "Old ring politicians will again be in power, and the people will have no meana of expressing their choice." Those men and oth er professional politicians would have the younger; voters , of our country believe, that the old co in vention system originated .in the dark ages among the cave dwell ers and was a relic of barbarism that was being perpetrated upon the people. For the benefit of the voters under 50 years of age, who never ' had the . opportunity - of working under the convention plan, will you please allow me space. .in your valuable paper to briefly explain how those conven tions were conducted. About tbe first of March, through the chair men of state and county republi can committeemen, the republi cans, were called to meet in their respective precincts for the pur pose of nominating candidates for precinct offices and to choose del egates to .the county, convention. Those . precinct meetings were generally held in April and the county convention perhaps about twe weeks later. At tbe precinct meetings, fully 5 per cent of the republicans of the precinct would be in attendance. Those meetings were conducted in about the same manner as our school districts' an nual meetings for the election of directors and clerks are managed. In tbe precinct which I am a resi dent, our apportionment of dele gates was usually about six or sev en and when the delegates were elected every one present realized that those delegates were their representatives from this precinct just as the memoers or a school district are recognized as the rep resentatives of the voters of the district in which they reside. When the delegates to the county convention assembled and a tem porary organization was effected and various committees appoint ed' (always a committee on plat form) and then an adjournment until, afternoon at which time came permanent organ! x a 1 1 o n, reading and disposing of reports of the various committees and then the nominating of candidates was in order. When an aspirant for office was placed in nomina tion, if it was not made by a mem ber of his own precinct and back ed by the delegates of the same as a recommendation for his can didacy for the office for which he aspired he failed to get very far. Alter all county candidates had been nominated, delegates to tbe congressional and state conven tions were also elected. About a week? later, the democrats follow ed in this same manner, and' it they found a weak man on the re publican ticket they would some times find a better man and elect him. It was no uncommon thing for a democrat to be elected in this strongly , republican county. independent candidates were few and far between. . ." wen, wnat aoout the cam paign? We did not need anv cam palgnlnjr. the Issues were set forth in the platforms of the two par ties, but that the people might all see the different candidates and get acquainted with them, the cndidates of both parties went to gether and visited each precinct in tne county, made speeches, told stories. (I mean anecdotes anri everybody got acquainted with every ooay tnrougboat the entire COUntV. The exoensa i under thf old convention plan, from begin ning to ending was Tery small. Nominees would chin In a small amount to nav for hall rent. Print ing and other little necessary ex penses. Under tbe convention plan we elected legislators well known to be competentto assist in enact ing good laws. Under our present system we elect men. we perhaps know very little about and th pass a law and then pass the buck up to tbe people to ratify 0 re ject when they know or should know that half the voters of the state will vote rNo on every measure they do not understand, and that means the most of them. Lodges have their constitutions ana oy-iaws by which to be gov erned. The fhlirrh haa.thn hK1a and - the voters of ' Oregon have tne voters' pamphlet. There is a iamiiy in tnis neighborhood in wbich there are seven voters and each one receives a pamphlet. If this plan of informing; the voters as to how they should vntn up much longer, this family will soon nave a very large library. Why not do away with this voters' pamphlet and supply each family with the laws of the state? But while we are under this present plan let the campaigning period be made as short as possible. H. C. PORTER, Aumsville, Oregon. MARTIX AND SALES TAX To the Editor: Tour article on the sales tax was quite fair. I'm not one who believes the sales tax is utterly beyond the possibility of just ap plication. But it should not apply to food until It applies to stock, bonds, mortgages and profession al services. You however omitted one im portant argument against the present measure. Gov. Martin (knowing the feel ling and the electorate on the sub ject) repeatedly declared against a Bales tax in his campaign. Also be promised to use his great in fluence with the administration to have the federal government develop and bring Bonneville pow er to the people of Oregon, thus making it unnecessary for the poor taxpayer to dig up SO mil lion or was it 60 billion. No mat ter, he vetoed the Ickes bill now to be consistent he must support the sales tax. So the people will have to do the job they have al ready paid the government and legislature to do. ., . , M. Van Busklrk OPPOSES MANAGER PLAX Editor Statesman: - ' On the eve of the special elec tion at which the voters of Salem are to decide the. city manager question, the writer who has giv en considerable study to the plan but who has not until now pre sented bis views' to' the people through the newspapers, wishes to oner a brief and respectful com ment. There are but five cities in Ore gon that have discarded the tra ditional American "Mayor -Coun cil"-system of municipal govern ment. Astoria, La Grande, Bend and Oregon City have managers; Portland has the commission form.. From the state treasurer's of ficial report to the legislature in 1935, X have taken the following figures which Illustrate how the financial condition of Salem com pares with these five other cities: Tax Indebted. ' Lery ness Astoria .. .102.9 mills 64.05 Bend . . . . . 82.6 mills Oregon City 69.4 mills La Grande. 67. S mills Portland . . -60. . mills Salem .... 48. mills These figures show that Salem with it ' present . mayor-council form of government has a lower tax levy and indebtedness than any of the four city manager cit ies, .or the commission city. In tbe face of this record, are the taxpayers of Salem justified in adding another . high salaried officer to the city payroll on the sole pretext that be, the manager, will annually save thousands of dollars of public funds?
