It is 30 inches long and 10 inches wide. He will find heading the ballot the presidential offices; repub--Ucan, democratic, two independ ent, Thomaj and Lemke, and one socialist labor tickets. In the state section he will pick and choose among candidates for U. S. senator, representative in con gress, state treasurer and attorn ey, general; also state represen tatives and district attorney. County offices to be filled are commissioner, sheriff, .clerk, treasurer, assessor,- surveyor, re corder, coroner. Precinct offices, for special precincts, are justice of the peace and constable. , Next in order are eight meas ures submitted to voters of the state at large, and one measure, local option, to voters in this county. Voters Will Seed Varied Information The city of Salem ballot is in cluded with a city treasurer to be elected; and in some wards, a councilman. Alter the city bal lot, on the same sheet, is the ju diciary ballot with three judges of the supreme court to be elected and one judge of the circuit court. Trailing on the ballot is thecoun ty school superintendent ballot, now non-partisan, with one can didate named. A separate small ballot will ha handed nut for voting on the question of forming a people's utility district for the county. With such a lengthy ballot vot ers need to obtain sample ballots to become familiar with the print ed blanket they will confront on November 3. These will soon be available to the county clerk's of fice. : Forgotten men in -the race is nearly every candidate other than Roosevelt and Landon. A mini mum of interest isji being taken in the other races, perhaps -because they appear quite one-sided.. Senator McNary is conceded re election by all competent observ ers. His leading opponent, Wil lis Mahoney, has created far less stir than he did two years ago when he ran for the nomination for governor. Likewise James W. Mott is expected to defeat his democratic opponent, E. W. Klrk patrick, by a liberal margin. Ru fus C. Holman is not being pushed by ardent democrat V. S. Burt, who Is nonetheless appealing for solid support of his party. Al fred P. Dobson is making jabs at Attorney General I. H.'Van Win kle; but without much visible ef fect. State Legtslal lire ' . j . Races Uncertain For representative, . four to choose, there is considerable un certainty. Three republican in cumbents are on the list: Ronald E. Jones, Mrs. Hannah Martin, Walter Fahrer; and George R. Duncan of Stayton is the fourth. Jones will go back without fall. Mrs. Martin, after a rather desul tory primary campaign, narrow ly won a nomination. Since then she has been organizing her forc es more diligently and plans a very careful campaign for the fin als. Fuhrer has been handicap ped by a long illness which kept hinuout of the primary vote drive entirely. He is back in the har ness now. Duncan was second man In the primaries, which gives him a good prospect for the elec tion. This year the democrats have a full ticket, with T. A. Livesley, S. B. Mills, II. M. Potter and J. F. Ulrich as candidates. Mills has been a perennial candidate with ideas for fixing the world. Pot ter has good support among farm groups. Livesley,. former mayor of Salem, was pushed , into the race. He will not rustle for votes personally, but has friends who will. Ulrich, Salem real estate dealer. Is an active candidate. Complicating the situation this year are two Townsend plan en trants, R. A. Harris and O. A. Olson. Harris is a Salem printer and political theorist. He spon sored the scrip plan for Salem and was an early advocate of Dr. Townsend" plan. Olson", a den tist, is a former councilman and newly elected member of the city water board. The spirited race made by Lyle Page for ; district attorney in the primaries plus his record as dep uty give him an edge for district attorney over Avery Thompson, energetic young democrat ; and former university debater.

Oregon Situation Threatens Labor Issue; Vote Continues PORTLAND. Oct. 17-iP)-The situation aboard the steamship Oregon, tied up by a labor dispute since Friday, threatened to be. come a coastwide issue tonight as representatives of the United States maritime commission open ed an investigation. Capt. George L. Ong charged that four; members of the crew turned water from a fire hose into bunks and companion ways. The boat was unable to sail Fri day when six men quit, saying un sanitary conditions existed in the forecastle and demanding trans portation back to Portland if the ship was forced Into idleness after reaching the east coast. . Frank X. Edthofer, United States inspector of hulls, John No lan, Inspector of boilers and S. Smestad, deputy commissioner looked over the vessel and wired J." B.

Belated Splurge Salem Boy Scores on Run of 19 Yards, Finally Makes Pass Good By JOSEPH PIGNEY PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 17 (P) The Oregon Webfoots, frightened into action by the menace of a scoreless tie, presented a handful of spectators with a fourth-quarter rally and shouldered their way to a 13 to 0 victory over the Uni versity of Idaho at Multnomah stadium today. ; j: Out of the danger of an Idaho score, stopped by fumbles almost on top of the goal line, the Web foots jammed on the pressure. Two fumbles in the fourth per iod feet Idaho back from the Orfe. gon seven-yard line to the 18, where Oregon took possession on downs. A sharp Webfoot running attack pushed the ball to the 40. Then out of a pile of waving arms and,kick!ng legs. Bob Brad-dock,- Oregon's left halfback, jammed through the Idaho left tackle, cut over to the right and sprinted 60 yards to a touchdown. Nicholson's attempted conversion was wide. ; . - ! The Vandals, 5 thoroughly un nerved, took to fumbling again. Shortly after, the Oregon kickoff.

Yards f On the first play halfback Jim my Nicholson swung wide around the Vandal right end to step across the goal untouched. Nicholson kicked the; extra point from placement. Nicholson's pass to Braddock in the second period for a five yard gain represented the Webfoots' only completed throw this season. Clarence Devlin, who took Earl RItzheinier's place In tlie Idaho bacgfield. turned in one of the most brilliant individual plays of the game. A few moments before the end of the first half he snagged an Oregon pass on his own five and sprinted to the Ore gon 25 before he was downed by Nicholson. Idaho failed to capitalize on the threat and a weak attempt . at a (Turn to page 12, col. 8) ; Budget Coming Up On Final Passage Two of the year's most import ant pieces of business will face the city council Monday night. In addition to awarding a contract for construction of the Salem Stayton gravity pipeline the alder, men will take final action on the city budget for 1937. ; j Granting salary increases to nearly all city employes, the ten tatitve budget would require a tax of $357,619.93. Miscellaneous receipts outside of taxes are es timated at $21,500 additional. Two variations in the ; present proposed salary schedule are like ly to be urged. Opponents to pay boosts may continue their fight; some proponents are expected to ask for proportionate Increases for the two police radio operators and assistants in the offices of the cfty engineer and the building in spector, who were left out when other raises in pay were voted. marked the only activity in the waterfront labor controversy to night. Both unions and shipown ers awaited the arrival of Rear Ad miral Harry G. Hamlet, Investlga. tor for the federal maritime com mission. Admiral Hamlet Is due to ar rive tomorrow to Investigate the entire maritime labor controversy and make recommendations to the government agency, which offici ally comes Into existence October 26. The commission, will adminis ter the Copeland shipping act. Union spokesmen remained si lent as to bow they would proceed in the investigation. The only clue to their attitude was their declaration last night that the federated anions would continue to present a solid front and that they would call a coast wide walkout October 28 unless shipowners met their basic de mands in the meantime. - Indications that Admiral Ham let would delve extensively into the controversy were foreseen in the commission's announcement that he carried authority to sub. poena witnesses and take testimony. Yachats Wind Changes, Aids Fighters In Coast Area Gold Beach in No Danger is Word, Contrary to Earlier Rumors Weather is Unfavorable and Menace Continues in Three States COQUELLE, Ore., Oct. 17 (JF)-A crew of 135 CCO youths was moved to Coqnllle tonight to maintain fire lines as flames, sweeping southward, came within one mile of the city lim its. Two crews were separated when flames leaped between them on a hillside. They scat tered out and partly regained lost ground after a small house was destroyed. Two pumps were in action. A fire on Rink creek was re ported dangerously close to th CequlUe waterworks by Jack Campbell, forestry service war den. GOLD BEACH, Ore., Oct. 17. -JP) Although serious fires were burning in the Gold Beach vicin ity tonight, the city was not in any immediate danger, reported A. L. Jess, forester here. Unfavorable weather conditions and a stiff wind sent flames out of control temporarily this after noon. Tonight the situation was considerably Improved. MEDFORD, Ore., Oct 17.-(ifP-Karl L. Janouch, supervisor of the Rogae River national -forest, said tonight that he had dis pltched B0 men from this city to the Coquille forest fire. A serious fire was reported rag ing in the Gold Beach section to 4 night, and it was claimed that all available men had been sent from Grants Pass, and nearby sec tions to aid in combatting the flames. .PORTLAND, Oct. I7.v()-An east wind, dreaded by fire fight ers, fanned nearly a score of for est and brush fires into menacing proportions today as summer weather again replaced the nor mal rainy climate of fall in south ern Washington and western Ore gon. One of the most dangerous blazes was an old fire whipped Into a roaring inferno between Yachats and Waldport, along the central Oregon coast. Some sec tions of the coast highway four niles south of Waldport were hlockaged by the flames and resU dents, of the section evacuated their homes. The fire was the same one which threatened the coastal cities on September 26. when another- forest fire destroyed Ban don and Prosper, on the southern Oregon coast. Late In the day the fire was reported nnder control, a change (Turn to page 12, coL 7) Skagway River Is Threatening Town SKAGAWAY, Alaska, Oct. 17. -(A-A hurried call went out for more workers tonight as most of the male population of the city worked feverishly constructing sandbag bulkheads on the banks of the swollen Skagway Tiver which ' threatened to flood the Jtown after whipping out parts of two highways and Inundating railroad tracks. All rail traffic was at a stand still. Sections of the White Pass-Yukon railway were washed out near the city. The famous Old Brackett road, first used by pros pectors In 1898, was entirely, washed out Sections of the high way bordering the west side of the river were under several feet of water. The steamer Yukon, which ar rived last night, waited 10 hours for interior passengers who were finally brought to the city by boats' and other means.

Ponder that for a moment. That means that more than half of Oregon's population would be eligible to vote at the polls November 3. Really, does that sound logical? J Republicans Make Active Campaign Several Events Scheduled ' This Week; Pro-America Luncheon on Tuesday Republican organizations plan a busy week for the next to last week before election. Issues of the campaign from a republican standpoint will be discussed Tues day noon at the Kiwanis club luncheon by Judge John P.

Claims Employes Exempt From Tax The state industrial accident commission is a necessary govern mental agency of the state of Ore gon and as such Its employes are not subject to payment of the fed eral income tax. Attorney General VanWinkle held In an opinion Saturday., The opinion was requested af ter employes of the accident com mission had received notice from the Internal revenue collector to file their federal income tax re turns for the years 1932 to 1935 Inclusive, f The deputy commissioner of internal revenue ruled that the accident commission was not a governmental agency of the state engaged in an essential govern mental enterprise. "In view of the work of the state industrial accident commis sion I fail to see how it can possi bly be said that it is not engaged in a governmental enterprise," the opinion read. Dry Lake Slaying Inquiries Revived MEDFORD. Ore., Oct. 17.-UP)- State police here said their rec ords showed that John M. Hunt, held in Eureka, Calif., on a va grancy charge, is wanted by Klamath county authorities for Questioning relative to the mys terious death of Harry Peoples, a trapper of the Dry Lake area of Klamath county, near Bly. The state police reports show that Peoples', charred body was found on - April 4, 1932, in the ruins of his fire destroyed cabin. The state police record also said there were evidences of foul play, and a gunshot wound. Hunt, the state police say, was a transient laborer, employed at the time of Peoples' death, on a telephone line repair crew. Drunk Driving Charged Walter Powell of Junction City was arrested In the Broaaacres vicinity Saturday night by Dep uty Sheriff B. G. Honeycutt on a charge of drunken driving. O " Several years ago tne secretary of state started providing return stamps for the Oregon .Voters' pamphlets. At the last primary election more , than 3 0,000 were returned! Past experience proves that the state department may anticipate a return of at least 10' per cent of the pamphlets. Since, at the last election 30,000 pamphlets were returns, and ten per cent of the present registration is expect ed back, the plaint that "only a small portion of the voters go to the polls," appears rather over worked. Just what Is the regis tered vote? The reported registered vote, In round figures, is 550,000. Ten per cent of that would be 55,000 pamphlets returned to the secre tary of states as uncalled for. With those returned at the prim ary election, that means more than 80,000 returned. State officials do not credit the surplus to any Intentional "padding". Some counties are very careful, where others are not, of the number classed as "dead heads". They either did not vote at the last general election, . or there is some other reason why they are not on the eligible list. Death and removal often are not recorded Keeping this In mind, since the (Turn to page 12, col. 1) Decisive Battles Under Way, Spain Fleeing Refugees Rarred From Entering Madrid ; Censorship Heavy MADRID, Oct. 17.-flVPound-ed by three major insurgent of fensives, government militia fought desperately tonight to halt; the ring of steel slowly closing in around the capital.

For : the present, nowever, France was assured Belgium would respect existing pacts. The other Locarno sigamories- are ranee, ureac ttnuun, uer many and Italy.

Wood Will-Battle Concrete and steel will be re commended to the city council Monday night as materials from Which the Salem-Stayton water pipeline should be constructed, it appeared yesterday. This recom mendation. It was understood, would be based on a contention that the proposal of the Ameri can Concrete and Steel Pipe com pany of Tacoma, Wash., to build such a line for $647,985. would be the most economical when the life expectancy of the pipe v(as con sidered, 'jj Studies of the bids received last Tuesday night had simmered late 1 yesterday to the two lowest pro posals, tnat of tne Tacoma nrm and that of James Crick, Spo kane, Wash. Crick bid $616,303 for a line consisting of 34,250 feet of creosoted wood pipe and 52,' 150 feet of steel pipe. The con crete section of the Tacoma firm's proposal would be of the same length as that of Crick's wood pipe proposition. Earlier Completion Is Another Factor The time element in the two bids had not entered into the dis cussions among city officials as greatly as that of life and first cost or tne pipe but It was re ceiving consideration. If the Ta coma company were to finish the contract in 200 working days, as bid, the pipeline would be ready for use about next September 1 with the result power charges for pumping with the present system would be eliminated during one of the heaviest months of the year for water consumption. Crick offered to complete the line in 225 working days. Pumping costs in peak seasons average $200 per day, according to water depart ment statements. Designation of the winning bid, however, is not expected to pass without forensic fireworks. Pro ponents of wood pipe and of lower initial expenditures were girding yesterday to defend Crick's pro posal with one of their main as sertions of advantage reported to be that purchase of a wooden line would provide more employment than in the case of other types. Eventual Saving is Claimed for Steel That an ultimate saving of $29,511.52 through acceptance of the concrete and steel bid would be effected by the city was being claimed by officials close to the (Turn to page 12, col. 7) Tenth Victim of Bahdon Fire Dies COQUILLE, Ore.j Oct. ll.-UP) Death of Elmer Ellsworth Ken yon, 73, tonight brought the Ban don fire toll to ten.

Equal izinff or Tax Burden Is Shtelton's Aim Total Valuation Reduced Over Two Millions 'in Revision of Rolls - Major Part of Cut is in Farms, Orchard Land, Assessor Explains A reduction of $2,476,000 In the assessed valuation of real and personal property .is reported ia the summary of the assessment rolls for Marion county for the year 1936, Just completed by R, Shelton, county asses&cr. If this cut,' $1,884,350 is In farm lands and $429,950 is in town and city- lots and their Improvements. The remainder is in valuations of psr sonalt property and in improve ments on lands. The sharp reduction represents the effort of the county assessor tQ readjust and equalize property' valuations in recognition o f changed conditions. "Many of these changes should have been made earlier," said Shelton, "but we have completed them now and I believe valua tions are now at the bottom,, and on a much fairer basis than be fore. "There havejieen shifts in val ues in real estate in Salem for example. On Commercial street assessments in some cases were nearly as high as .what the prop erties were Belling for; and out of line with values on other streets like Liberty street. Reduces Valuations On Prune Orchards "I have made reductions ia values on prune orchards. In some cases old orchards were con tinued at a figure of $75 an aero while general farm land adjoin ing, which really was producing i better income, was assessed at only $40 an acre. ,.- . "The reduction will not lower the total amount of taxes, but It will equalize the tax burden within the county." The total valuation for t h county Is fixed at $33,845,540. Ta this for taxation purposes will lat er be added the valuation determ ined by the state tax commission, on utilities operating within the county. This amounted to $6, 285.383 last year. For the year- 1930 the valua tion as fixed by the county asses sor was $41,642,940. The de crease represents a drop of nearly 20 per cent in six years. That the bottom has b e e a reached is indicated in the im proving prices for .farm land and in the extensive building opera tions now going on, especially in Salem where over 10 0 houses have been built this year, whicht will come on the tax rolls next year, besides added Investments in commercial buildings.
