by County Agent and
College Official
SILVERfON, April 20. Over
' 6 farmers attended the first Mar
lon county federal soil .. conserva
tion program held at the Silrerton
Armory Monday afternoon. Con
siderable interest was displayed in
th new farm program which is
taking the place of the nnconsti-
tational AAA. Almost all of
those in attendance registered,
and many remained at the ad
journment of the meeting to dis
cuss their, individual problems.
An executive committee was el
ected to consist of Oscar Johnson,
chairman; Otto .Dabl, vice chair
man; E. O. Nelson as third mem
ber and Jim Bonner as alternate.
This group will represent the
: North Silverton. Scotts Mills and
Porter Toting precincts. Other lo
cal committee will be elected at
subsequent meetings.
Large Sum Possible
Harry Riches. Marion county
aent. explained that if all those
eligible in Marion county took
advantage of the program, there
would be over $200,000 distrib
uted in' the county. But all won't
come in this year, he said, be
' cause many farmers have already
made their plans for the year.
There will be no contracts to
sign in this, Mr, Riches explained.
If the "farmers comply, they are
paid; Jf not. they do not receive
payment. Also there will be no
processing tax as the government
has already appropriated the
funds needed. A compliance in
spection will be made In the au
tumn. William Teutsch, assistant
county agent leader explained the
plan briefly a?:
Farmers are to be paid for car
rying out long-established good
farming practices. In order to
get the maximum amount of pay
ment No. 1. 15 per cent of soil de
pleting crops must be shifted to
oiUsonservation crops. The fig
u res are based on soil-depleting
crops harvested in 1935. Those
listed as soil depleting crops in
Marlon county are: Corn of all
finds. Irish potatoes, commercial
track crops, canning crops such
as melons and strawberries, small
grains, annual grasses such as
sudan grass, millet, spring plant
ed peas and beans when harvested
for hay or seed, hops, bulbs, or
chards. The conservation crops
Include alfalfa and any clover,
perennial grasses, winter cover
crops when turned under, and
vetch and peas."
Average $10 Acre
Payment, Mr. Teutsch explain
ed, will be based on production.
The average maximum payment
ia the United States will likely
be $10 an acre. Mr. Teutsch was
of the opinion that the payment
V would be slightly higher in Mar
ion county.
An additional small payment,
erhaps a dollar an acre, will be
made if the 15 per cent is seeded
Into soil building crops, which
for Marion county includes fall
planted retch, peas, crimson clov
er, all turned under; spring plant
ed sweet, red, Alsike, white. La
dino clovers, and alfalfa; spring
ilanted peas and beans turned
onder.
In answer to questions of the
listeners, Mr. Teutsch explained
that according to the knowledge
they bad at hand now, a farmer
would Qualify for the No. 2 pay
ment plan, that for the soil build
lag practice, if he had planted
fall .clover in 1935, not knowing
of the plan, and turns it under
when it had reached its maximum
highU
!;If he seeds a conservation or
oil building erop In the fall ot.
1J3S or summer fallow or land
H which no other crop has been
taken that year, he will qualify
far payment plan No. 1.

Demands of Youth
Are Declared Jast
The religious education section
of the conference centered its dis
cussion on two questions: 1. Does
the church want to hold its teen
age youth? and 2. Week day reli
gious education. Conclusions
reached, in part, were that youth's
demands of the church are funda
mentally just, demands for guid
ance In social and recreational
matters and a definite something
to which to dedicate their"loyal
ties; and, on the weekday educa
tion, that it has been found suc
cessful from every standpoint in
several communities. Four prob
lems of weekday religious schools
were cited: A leading spirit; ade
quate teaching; financial support
and community cooperation. The
group commended efforts of the
Oregon Social Hygiene society for
its work of trying to teach youth
and parents.
The committee of nine arrang
ing yesterday's conference includ

and W. A. Elkins of Polk county;

Chapman Hits at
County Chairman
PORTLAND, Ore., April 20.
(JP) C. C. Chapman, republican
candidate for state representa
tive, accused the chairman of the
Multnomah county republican
central committee today with at
tempting a dictatorship by offer
ing a 19-point program for can
didates either to accept or re
ject. The bulletin, over the signa
ture ot Chairman Ed R. Camp
bell, did not give the candidates
the right to say which of the 19
points they favored, Chapman
said.
"It proposes to Inflict the ob
solete ward system on Portland
for election of legislators, a step
back into politics which were no
torious for corruption."
He protested against "Chair
man Campbell's attempt to dic
tate in the name of the republi
can county central committee.

present net revenues
ot
our
plant," O'Hara added.
Small retorted that '"the-whole
idea of this (well proposal) la to
hold up the entire program - in
the hope that certain groups can
get what ihey want," which, he
intimated, might be water from
either the Little North fork or
the Wilamette river.
"What we need here is a dis
tribution system and not a big
reservoir and a source of supply
from the North Santiam river."
Alderman Williams said in de
fense of his committee's report.
"I was elected on a well platform
because we have two good weilB
free from contamination in north
Salem."
The pending proposal to con
struct an infiltration gallery as a
water intake on an island in the
North Santiam river would mean
"draining creeping matter from
the mountainsides. . .and al'o
putrid matter to get in the wa
ert." Williams averred.
Williams' committee summarized
its survey of well systems at Shel
ton. Olympia and Tacoma. Wash.,
as follows:
"1. By Installing a well water
system, a heavy indebtness for
pipe line will be avoided.
"2. Heavy engineering expenses
will be avoided.
"3. Fllteration system will be
avoided.
"4. No necessity for a large
reservoir.
"5. Chlorlnation will not be
necessary.
"6. There will be no reason for
water to become stagnant or un
palatable by reason of impound
ing. "7. There will be no danger ot
supply being cut off by reason of
interruption, owing to a break in
the pipe line, and therefore, no
reason tor an auxiliary pipe line.
"8. Hence good and sufficient
grounds for lowering rates at j
least 25 per cent to the consumer
of the system."
Albany Driller's
Offer is Prvsented
The well committe also was
handed back a proposal from Wil
lard Sloper, Albany driller, to sup
ply Salem with well water under
one of two alternatives plans:
1. To provide a 10 million daily
water supply from wells located
within two miles of the city reser
voir for $55,000, or,
2. To produce the same suply
at cost of $300 per million gal
lons per day output if the city
would agree to accept each well
testing a minimum flow of onr
million gallons per day.
Sloper also offered under either
plan to put up a bond to guaran
tee the wells for one year. H?
paid they would be located about
one-quarter mile from the Wil
lamette river and be about 69 feet
deep. He cited three wells he haJ
drilled for the city of Indepen
dence as examples of what he
could do for Salem.

man borrowed his car, he said,
later returning it. He said he
was wearing a gray coat the
night in question, the coat being
at Corvallia Sttud a y. Officers
went for the coat, as a gray but
ton was found at the scene of
the attack.
Mrs. Getzfhger. when aues-

band returned home last Wed

though he had had one on earlier
in the evening, and that when
he found he was home, he was

sire to wear a clean pair to work
the next morning. Mrs. Getzinger

votes in an effort to prevent Sam
Brown from taking him (McNary)

The district attorney iid last
night that he would present the
entire matter to the grand jury
within a reasonable time. He said
the jury could not be called to
gether at once because one mem
ber was not able to attend.
Nelson said in his letter that if
he were guilty of the charge made,
"I would be punishable under sec
tion 36-2436 which makes it un
lawful for any person to become
a candidate for nomination or
election for the purpose of defeat
ing the nomination or election of
another person."
Urged to Enter
By Townseiul Hoard
"I cannot afford to let such
misinformation get around," Nel
son declared following the release
of his written statement to Trin
dle. "I was urged to enter this race
by the Townsend area board. I
did so reluctantly. I have had ex
perience in public life; my record
is an open book which the' people
mis Biaie can examine. I am
willing to pit my experience
against the opposing candidate
for the liberal votes.
"This campaign doesn't begin
to be as warm as those in which
I have taken part. But it is unfair
to my supporters to let the im
pression get around that there Is
any subterfuge to my candidacy.
When the grand Jury haamade its
report I'll then determine what
other action I Bhall take."
Nelson said support for his cam
paign was developing rapidly. In
a few days he expects to go to
eastern Oregon and to work there
for some time.
Nelson has been attacked by
friends of Sam Brown, Gerrais
farmer, as a self-starter. Subse
quent to the Townend area board's
endorsement of Kelson and other
members of a Townsend slate, the
action was retracted and Town
send club members were warned
that they should not participate in
the primary campaign.

Employers Must
Register, Stated
Tax Collection Will Begin
Next Month; Complete
Records Desired
The state unemployment com
pensation commission yesterday
again urged all Oregon employ
ers of four or more workers to
register at once with the commis
sion in anticipation ot the tax
collection program which is to
begin early in May. The first
collections will be on payrolls for
January to April, inclusive, and
will constitute a charge of nine
tenths of cne per cent on the ag
gregate moneys paid as wages in
salaries In that period. Salaries
of executive officers will be in
cluded in the payments.
The commission has not yet
completed the report form on
which employers will make their
tax remittances. At first It was
planned to make these reports
coincide with forms, furnished by
the social security board at Wash
ington but delay in securing the
reports of the latter has forced
the commission here to go ahead
with the printing of its own tax
report forms. Blanks will be
ready for distribution to employ
ers shortly.
Each employer must report
promptly to the board when an
employe terminate his service,
either through discharge or by
his own volition. On the termin
ation reports will be a statement
of the number of weeks worked,
the wage paid each week and oth
er data dealing with the em
ploye's relation to the business
whose employment he Is quitting.
The termination reports will be
filed at the commission's head
quarters with the file which is
built up on each employe and by
1938 will furnish the basis for the
payment of unemployment insur
ance benefits.
Warrant Debt of
District Now Low
The Salem school district's war
rant indebtedness dropped to the
lowest point since last November
when 318,956.21 worth of war
rants were called in for collection
yesterday by the school clerk W.
Jl. Burghardt. This call left the
district with 115,143.55 outstand
ing in warrants marked "unpaid
for lack of funds."
The warrants called yesterday
were those bearing numbers 14
574 to 14-823. inclusive. They
drew J55.91 interest.
While teachers' salaries were
still being paid on a nine-months
basis, the district late last sum
mer was able to reach a cash
basis but resumption of salary
payments in the fall had by No
vember forced a return to the
warrant system. This year teach
ers are being paid on a 12-months
basis.

Old Filter Plant
Completion Asked
Completion of the water filtra
tion which was abandoned soon
after construction waa started by
the Oregon - Washington .water
Service company in 1930 was pro
posed to the city council last night
by Harold F. Gray, engineer who
designed the filter system for the
company. He suggested that while
the plant had not been located
Ideally the city might effect a sav
ing by completing It. His proposal
was referred to the special water
construction committee.
That the Gray suggestion would
not be taken up appeared likely
because plans have been made to
cover the old concrete work of the
unflniahed filter with soil being
excavated on the new Fairmount
hill reservoir site.
