Judges' Refunds j The statehouse records reveal that 2fi out of 28 circuit judges in Oregon in 1133 and 1934 took vol-: untary salary reductions.! Only two Jurists in the state received every cent of their pre-depression rate of pay. One was Judge E. C. Lat ourette of Oregon City. The other was Judge McMahan of Salem. From , the state's record it is found that the state treasury saved 332,764 i by the voluntary ' turn backs of the judges' salaries. The majority of circuit judges, who re ceived $560 a month, surrendered 15 per cent. ITS, to the general fund. The Average turnback for the 2S judges, including those who returned nothing or who paid back only a j pittance, totalled $1170 each during the period of the em ergency 4 This was done by the Jur ists without the compulsion of law for the supreme court ruled, in a teat case, that a circuit judge was under no compulsion whatever to take a salary reduction, the con stitution forbidding reduction of a jurist's salary while he was hold tag office.

He talked repeat edly about keeping money away from the "statehouse ring" and giving his money to. charity. - No "ring" at the capital received any 'cut"; the $32,764 received by the state in refund, by the Judges went to balance the state's budget and to reduce the state's deficit. ploes; there is no evidence that Judge McMahan parted: with any of fata 'salary checks for charity purposes. io reduction in state or The Gall Board .

Officials Resent ' - Stand of McMahan t The officials of this county and of Linn county are resentful 'about the McMahan salary situation. The circuit judgeship is the gem of courthouse, positions; it carries the big salary; the prestige and emoluments of the judgeship are Intangible factors which add to the compensation. At the courthouse were men who worked on salaries set by law but waived legal techni-i calitles and took a voluntary re duction. To havejthe circuit judge refuse to do what his fellows on the bench had done and what the entire courthouse family had ac cepted as a necessary act of the de pression, was disconcerting. No wonder courthouse employes have been telling their friends j in de pression days: "There's no jus tice," Control Capital (Continued from page 1 ) behind to pillage the city rath er thin to leave anything for the Italians. i There were unofficial estimates that 500 persons were killed in the disorders since the emperor tied, i .. ; ' - 11- The victorious Italian troops continued mopping up the; Ethio pian' bandits harassing the sub jugated capital today, and clear ed bodies and debris j from the streets. ! r " i Details of soldiers opened the way for columns of heavy (trucks.

S. Crowder, general manager of the National Credit association in an address to the Salem Rotary club and Sa lem retail credit association Wed nesday at the Marion. He quoted other predictions as follows: farm income up a billion dollars, wages up ten per cent, business earnings up seven to nine per cent The vol ume of retail trade in 1935 he said totaled $32,500,000,000 which was two thirds of the 1929 vol ume."" " Crowder said that his prediction was that veterans would expend 75 per cent of their coming bonus payments. He cited also the re sults of a survey made by the United States News, which queried a large number of legion posts: to go for debts 23 per cent; for current expenditures 11 per cent: for paying for homes and on mortgages 2 6. per cent; for new automobiles 5 per cent; for invest ment 34 per cent. Credit Well Sustained Retail credit, said Crowder, has been , well sustained through the depression. The retail credit loss es amounted to only one per cent in 1930 and to two per cent dur ing the poorest year of the depres sion.' He pointed out the impor tance of credit. in increasing sales volume, but urged that competi tion should be in merchandise and service and not on the terms of credits allowed. 1 To assist in forming sound cre dit policies the National Credit association was formed 24 years ago, in Spokane and has now spread all over the country. He emphasized the need for credit education of the public, tor the value of paying bills promptly; and urged retailers to consult cre dit bureaus to avoid losses on bad risks. He reported growing ten dency of retail firms to add carry ing charges on( accounts which were not raid when due. Howard Grimm, president of the credit group, introduced Mr. Crowder.
