-: A ' similar opinion was ex
pressed by M. B. Finley, repre-
-. senting Dave's Independent dairy.
Cus Schlkker, Foshays dairy,
also indicated opposition.
Fred Klaus, speaking for the
members of the "Producers Dairy
Cooperative association, spoke in
favor of the measure as intro
duced into- the council..
EL A. Rhoten, another private
dairyman, , sought to clarify the
entire discussion by emphasizing
that producers have no quarrel
with sanitary standards embodied
in the new legislation, most of
which have already been met.

Schedules Public Hearing
After Lengthy Discussion
. The council ended discussion of
the matter by sending the bill
back to the health and sanitation
committee with provision that it
arrange for a public hearing on
the measure before the next meet
ing of the body on March 3.
Discussion of pnrehaae of
new right of way property for
the south river road, improve
ment of which beyond the city
limits has already been given
serious ! consideration by the
Marion county court, was con
cluded with a resolution re
quiring the city attorney to ob
tain the approximate cost of the
property and report to the
council's ways and means and
streets committees before the
next council session.
The matter was presented to
the council by Ernest Gray,
president of the Salem-Indepen-dence-Kings
Valley road improve
ment association, which is active
ly sponsoring the road betterment
r-rogcam.
He indicated that private efforts
' to negotiate the right of way
property had been unavailing, and
that action by the council was
necessary for prompt results.
Desire to Cooperate
With County Expressed
Councilmen expressed firm de
sire to cooperate with the county
in improving the quarter-mile
stretch of road within the city
limits, but were cautious in giving
the city attorney and the ways
and means committee power to
- act on offers made, to sell the
property in question before a re
port on the pftcT could be had.
The right of way will be bought
as soon as price terms can be
made, they indicated in discussion
onthe matter.
The civic body took no action
on a request of Fred Eley, guiding
spirit of i the Salem Ten-Year
v.. . :u :
ummiin improvement pi an or
ganization, that public financial
sponsorship of his organization be
provided. I
He suggested that a WPA proj
ect might be obtained with the
city's sponsorship to collate the
group's reports, or that space for
an office i might be DrovideH th
group in the city hall.
Other matters the council dealt
with as "routine requests.
It heard, the bid of $95 of
Edgar R. Brock for repainting
of the fire department's ladder
truck; approved a contract for
eight concerts with the Salem

He said it was illegal only to

"I do -cot pretend that there are
not risks, no matter what we do
or fail to do it may be a choice of
risks. If we do nothing we run the
risk of being fenced in as a sort
of unilateral concentration camp.
We run the risk of seeing the rest
of the world overrun and then be
ing compelled to fight a hostile
world or be overrun ourselves.'
Austin engaged in a spirited
coloquy with Bone on the advisa
bility of including an amendment
in the bill forbidding the sending
of American persons or ships into
war zones. Bone argued that such
an action would be "better than
war."
) "A world enslaved is worse than
war," Austin shouted, pacing the
wide green-carpeted middle aisle.
'It's worse than death, and a
country whose boys will not go
out and fight to save the ideals of
freedom from destruction by a
fiend you won't find such boys.
These episodes provided cli
maxes for the senate's first day of
debate on the bill, a day which be
gan with Senator Barkley urging
enactment of the bill to "stop the
foul aggressor in his tracks."
He was challenged by Senator
Taft (R-Ohio) with a spirited con
tention that "every argument" he
had made "would be just as force
ful in support of a declaration of
war against Germany."
"I do not regard It as neces
sary, Barkley shouted his re
ply, "to accomplish the purpose
of this bOl that we should de
clare war on Germany or enter
the war."
Even if there were cause for a
declaration of war on the naris,
Barkley continued, it was "doubt
ful that we could help more ef
fectively" to bring about Hitler's
defeat than by passing the bill and
thereby hastening and increasing a
flow of war supplies to Great Brit
ain. England, he added with desk
pounding emphasis, does not need
our men. But Taft persisted.
"If war is an inevitability, if
Hitler wins and that means an at
tack on the United States, we
ought to go to war now," he said,
raising his voice and stressing his
words by clapping his hands to-
gether. "That is the only reason-

auey retorted, in a bored and dis

. The proposed state equalization
school fund law, if approved by
the legislature and voters, would
assist . the . so-called poor school
district without injuring the more
prosperous school district, a group
of speakers told the house' educa
tion committee at a hearing here
Monday night. ' -
The levy, under the bM, would
be on the' basis of $20 per child
of school age.
Charles V. Galloway,' chairman
of the state tax commission, said
the levy, based on the past two
years average would raise approx
imately' $5,331,300 annually with
an offset of $1,799,813 from the
present elementary school tax.
"The- fund raised for the
schools under this proposed levy,
would not be subject te the un
certaintlea of some ether - lev
ies," Galloway declared, "and It
would be constant. The revenue
for the schools would be based
, directly on the school census.
Galloway denied emphatically
that this measure was a scheme to
raise more funds.
. "The purpose of this bill is to
equalize the tax load between
school districts," Galloway contin
ued. A number of inequalities in the
present system of raising school
district funds were cited by Gallo

would leave Multnomah county
