Prospect of amending tbe Ore

revenue bonds msy be issued ra
ther than general obligation bonds
was seen as a result of Tuesday's
election by Herman Lafky of Sa
lem, who Is interested in the pub
lic' ownership movement in this
state as well as in Washington
where he Is secretary and attorney
for. the Southwest Washington
Utility District associations
.... Approval Possible :
lafky said Saturday he believed
a, -majority, of the newly elected
legislature would approve such an
amendment, especially in view ot
the success, to date, ot the pro
gram in Washington.
A number of new Washington
districts were created, especially
in' territory adjacent to existing
districts in southwest Washington,
he pointed out. These were most
ly areas where similar prospects
were rejected ivo years ago", but
neighboring districts' success has
changed sentiment, Lafky con
tends. ' Officials Meet
Lafky attended a meeting in
Portland Friday and Saturday at
which officials of districts in Pa
cific, Wahkiakum and Cowlitz
counties, Washington, and Cas
cade Locks, Oregon, conferred
with officials of the West Coast
Power company. Agreements "in
Principle" on the proposed trans
fers cf power company facilities to
the districts were reached but de
tails remain to be worked out.

Democrat 'Purge'
Is Held Planned
Report Croup Will Seek
Dismissal of Ticket's
Non-Supporters
PORTLAND, Nov. 12.-iPr-The
Oregonian said tonight that a
group of democrats, among them
Rep. Nan 'Wood Honeyman, who
was defeated Tuesday for reelec
tion, had .met here in the past few
days and discussed a possible
purge of state and federal job
holders who did not support the
ticket at the general election.
Besides Mrs. Honeyman, The
Oregonian said the sessions wera
attended by Leland Hess, Dr. R.
M. Erwin. Dewey Rand, Floyd
Dover, Nicklas Zylstra. Lyman
Ross, Elton Watkins, Dan Holo
well and Dwight Bunnell.
The story asserted the rroun
had a plan for a direct approach
to the national administration to
detail the alleged desertion ot the
party. JLt was asserted that certain
high-salaried democrats had op
posed "Willis Mahoney. defeated
democratic nominee for U. S.
senator, because they feared loss
of their jobs If he were elected.
The newspaper said the desert
ers took the view before the elec
tion that if : a republican were
elected he would , have no patron
age and democrats in office there
fore would have a better chance
of retaining their jobs. Considers
tion was given to sending some
one to Washington to protest the
derters, although whether any
one was named remained un
known. -

New Measures
Daladier Government Is
Making - - Attempt to
Bebuild France
PARIS, Nov. 12-VThe Da
ndier government, backed by the
demand of 7,000,000 world war
veterans for a strong government,
tonight Issued 32 decree laws to
rebuild France within her demo
cratic framework. . -
Premier Daladier declared they
were the strongest measures that
could be drawn without violating
"traditional" principles of the
French government. Some mem
bers of the chamber of deputies
called them-the last chance to
avert collapse of the democracy.
Gold Revalued .
, Among the laws decreed two
days before expiration of semi-
dictatorial decree powers granted
by parliament was a measure re
valuing the gold reserve of the
Bank of France at the rate of 170
francs to the pound sterling, or
37.69 to the doUar.
The revaluation gave the gov
ernment a paper profit of about
22,550,000,000 francs. Before the
decree there were 55,806,000,000
francs worth ot gold In the bank's
vaults calculated on .the basis of
43 mlligrams ot gold to the franc.
Before the gold was revalued the
franc was figured at 22.96 to the
dollar.
Work Week Modified
Decree drawn by the labor min
istry did not officially change
"the principle" ot the 40-hour
week but said there would be
"certain modifications" of the 40
hour week law tor a period of
three years.
The principle of the five-day
week, however, was junked in fa
vor of either six days or five and
one-half days with 40 hours stag
gered on the extended basis.
Employers were given "cred
its" ot supplementary work hours
over the 40-hour week limit and
empowered to ask workmen to re
maia on their Jobs tor the extra
hours simply by advising the min
istry of labor.
FDR Thanksgiving
To Be in Georgia
WASHINGTON, Nov. ll-(JP)-
President Roosevelt will eat his
Thanksgiving turkey in Warm
Springs, Ga., for the first time in
three years.
The president will carve turkey
in the presence of patients at the
Warm Springs foundation.
Last year the president ate his
turkey at the White House, de
spite a bad tooth which had trou
bled him for several days. Con
gress was just beginning its spe
cial session and the president can
celled earlier arrangements to go
to Warm Springs. .In 1936, he
had Thanksgiving dinner aboard
ship while en route to the all
American peace conference at
Buenos Aires.
Under a tentative schedule an
nounced today, Mr. Roosevelt will
leave Washington Sunday, Novem
ber 20. After a drive to Chicka
mauga dam and Lookout .moun
tain he will entrain for Warm
Springs, arriving there the night
of November 21.
After two weeks in Warm
Springs, Mr. Roosevelt will return
to Washington. He will stop en
route at Columbia, SC, and Chapel
Hill, NC, probably making an ad
dress at the latter place before
a non-partisan forum.
County Court to
Try for Building
(Continued from page 1)
While some talk is heard of at
tempting to build a courthouse out
of general fund surplus and un
collected taxes, such a program is
unlikely to be tried. The people
authorized use of funds only
to the amount of 8270,000, 8120,
000 less than the county's share
of the cost of the building new
planned, under PWA matching
terms; and spending this money
without providing for its replace
ment would seriously endanger
the county's financial condition.
The county court had intended
only that the surplus and uncol
lected taxes be used only as credit
against which to borrow to secure
Immediate working funds, which
ultimately would be repaid from
the special tax which the voters
have since rejected.

League of Cities
Asks Tax Monies
Gas and Motor Tax Funds
Sought to Maintain
Gty Streets
PORTLAND,. Nov. 12-P)-The
League of Oregon Cities asked a
state legislative interim commit
tee today to approve an annual
8860,000 allotment from gasoline
and motor vehicle tax returns to
maintain municipal streets.
"The allocation to-cities will in
no way interfere with the ability
of the state highway cmomisslon
to match federal aid funds or to
carry out the highway program,"
said President Charles H. Hug
gins, Marshfleld mayor. "The de
cline in debt service requirements
and the normal increase in gaso
line tax revenues will be suffi
cient to provide the amount re
quested by the cities."
Street Travel Heavy 1
Huggins stated about a third
of Oregon's motor travel was on
city streets. Nearly all towns, he
added, were' confronted by de
creasing assessed valuations and
heavy tax delinquencies and were
unable to repair and maintain ex
isting streets. '
State Highway Engineer R. H.
Baldock, who opposed further al
location of revenue, said it would
cost about 11,914,263 to put
streets in satisfactory riding con
dition. Judge F. L. Phipps of Wasco
county, representing the Associa
tion of Oregon Counties, opposed
any move which would reduce the
15.7 per cent assigned to the
counties.

Court Naming
May Be Test
Politicians Look to High
Bench Appointment as
I Indicative
WASHINGTON, Nov.
President Roosevelt's forthcoming
appointment ot a new supreme
ccurt Justice may provide the first
test of administration strength in
the new congress.
Some politicians look to the
appointment also for an inkling as
to whether last Tuesday's election
returns may influence Roosevelt
policy. "
They predict that. If he intends
to pursue a conciliatory policy aa
the result of increased republican
success. at the polls, he will ap
point a Justice of "moderately lib
eral" leanings -and thus lessen
the likelihood of a bitter senate
controversy over confirmation.
On the other hand there has
been some speculation that, if Mr.
Roosevelt is determined to con
tinue an aggressive fight for his
entire program, he will appoint
a "militant Hberr"' and force a
showdown at once with ronserva
t", democrat"? senators.
The vote on such an appoint
ment might indicate the lineups
of both parties on policy ques
tions to come, and even throw
light on prospects of a democratic
split in the 1940 presidential race.
Coalition
The president has predicted his
program will not encounter op
position from a republican-democratic
coalition in " e next session
of congress, and has declared the
election results did not threaten
"liberal government."
Any appointment the president
makes to fill the court vacancr
caused by the death of Justice
Benjamin N. Cardoso last July
must be approved by a majority
of senators before it can become
effective.
Mr. Roosevelt said yesterday he
would announce a number of ap
pointments soon, but added that
he did not know whether a su
preme court appointment would be
among them.'
One of the names mentioned in
speculation over the court ap
pointment is that of Governor
Frank Murphy of Michigan, who
was defeated in his reelection race.
Prof. Felix Frankfurter of tho
Harvard university law school,
who has advised the administra
tion on several of its legislative
programs, is another frequert'f
mentioned.
