Four to Three
Decision Made
tusk Write Prevailing
Opinion ; Be m, Hand, '
v ; Rossman . Dissent ;
The state supreme court upheld
constitutionality of the Oregon
milk control law, passed by the
1935 legislature, yesterday In a
four to three decision. ; ,. .
W. B. Savage and Brace Fox,
Salem milk producers, tiled the
suit In the Marion county circuit
court three years ago, contending
the law was unconstitutional be
cause It delegates legislates pow
er to the board; takes property
without due process of law and
discriminates -against some pro
ducers. Judge L. G. Lewelling dis
. missed the case.
, The predominating opinion was
' written by Justice Lusk. He said
the law was not unconstitutional
In any particular and it had not
been shown that the board had
acted arbitrarily.
Rnd Disseats
Chief Justice Rand wrote the
dissenting opinion with Justices
Bean and Rossman concurring.
"It has always been conceded
by the bench and bar of this state
that private property cannot be
taken for priTate use and that the
legislature has no power to enact
legislation authorizing that to be
done." Justice Rand wrote. "Yet
that Is the very thing against
which the plaintiffs complain."
At the last legislature a futile
attempt was made to repeal the
milk control law. Senator Thomas
Maboney, Multnomah county, la
ter filed an Initiative petition
through which he hopes to re
peal the law ai the 1940 general
election.
Fifteen thousand signatures
must be obtained to place the ini
tiative measure on the ballot.
Bank Night Booted
The court, in another opinion,
affirmed a decision of Circuit
Judge Robert Tucker of Multno
mah county in a suit brought by
"Carl R. McFadden, holding that
the operation of "bank night" is
a lottery under the Oregon sta
tutes. District Attorney Bain and
Sheriff Pratt, both of Multnomah
county, were . named defendants.
-McFadden, 'a Portland theatre
operator, asked for a Judgment
that be was. not operating a lot
tery. The opinion was written by
Justice Rand. He wrote:
"It la unreasonable to say that,
where a pereon pays admission
Into a theatre, knowing that he is
to receive not only a ticket ad
mitting him into the theatre but j
also a chance tor a prize, the con
sideration is paid for the ticket
only and not In part for the
chance."

because we could see the day

Here the rugged sailor's volcj
broke and for a while he was
unable to continue his story.
After a few moments he con
trolled his emotions and, ith
out mentioning three men who
drowned trying to follow the
first two men up, he continued:

for shock and exhaustion.
In another radiogram to F. J.
O'Hara and Sons, operators of the
Villanova, Captain BJartmars said
Eshelman refused to divulge his
true destination "Repeats bound
for Mars." He reported Eshelman
"flew blind all night in fog" and
that vibration caused a break in
gas line which prevented the
flier from pumping reserve gaso
line to the main tank.
Supporting the expressed belief
of friends that Eshelman was at
tempting a trans-Atlantic flight, it
was learned that after taking off
from Camden, NJ, last night, os
tensibly for an hour's practice, he
alighted at a farm 18 miles north
of Philadelphia and picked up
about ten five-gallon cans of gas
oline. Nils Hedin, owner of the
farm, reported Eshelman told a
man who assisted him that he in
tended to fly "out west."
Toung Eshelman told Captain
BJartmars he was an inventor and
that he had been employed by the
Glenn L. Martin aviation plant at
Baltimore. He took his first and
only other solo flight recently, and
when he rented the plane from Ed
ward Walz, manager of a flying
school. Wall thought he showed
more than a student's usual curi
osity in instrumental navigation.
Eshelman had about 10 hours of
flying instruction and waa licens
ed to fly near the airport In

J. A. Jelderks, Salem Insurance
man and local agent for the First

pany, was called to the stand next
and questioned regarding commu
nications between him and his
company about the riot policy,
which was canceled. In January,
1938, as of the day of the box
factory fire.
Major questions being raised in
the suit are whether or not manl
testations of union "troubles" be
fore the fire and the circumstan
ces surrounding the setting of the
fire constitute a riot, entitling .the
Salem Manufacturing company to I
recovery on the 320.000 riot I
oolicT. and whether or not the
company's delay in fillna its nroof
of loss until. after Rosser waa con- I
victed last July should prevent I
its recovering.
The West Salem firm a short
time after the fire filed a claim
under three fire insurance policies
and received $23,000.

Baldock Propose Stale
Redace Sumdardg en
Some Roads
PORTLAND, June" tWffV-Tn'e
state highway commission consid
ered today a new policy covering
construction . of pleasure roads
that get little traveL
The policy, recommended by
Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock
would "reduce standards on roads
where the benefits are small" and
improve the roads as money be
came available, "t"" t t
Baldock proposed the 20-mile
Cascades lakes , road , from .Bend
to the mountain lakes, IT miles
of which s is in national forest,
wheih would cost more than
31,000,000 and require many
years to build as a standard high
way, be constructed completely for
about .320,000 on reduced stan
dards. Baldock said he hoped by the
Cascade lakes demonstration to
convince the federal bureau of
public roads and the forest serv
ice of advantages of getting us
able routes out of the mud and
dust quickly and cheaply.
The commission will hear resi
dents of Bend June 22 before tak
ing final action on the work
which would Inaugurate the new
policy.
