Dog Poisoner
Sought in
Residents of a four-block area
in the South Village district are
on the lockout for a crank who
has poisoned three dogs during
the past two weeks.
Most recent victim was a Ger
man shepherd owned by Dr.-Ken-neth
L. Prince, 934 E. Ewald Ave.
The dog died Monday night, ap
parently from the same poison
that had already killed the other
two dogs.
A hunting dog owned by Fern
H. Todd, 870 Spears Ave., died
suddenly Sunday about half an
hour after it had teen let out of
the house. Todd said a veterina
rian had informed him a heavy
dose of srrychine was ; the prob
able cause of the dog's death.
The other poisoned dog, owned
by Murray G. Brenaman, 725
Spears St, died last week.
Salem police have, not been
called in to investigate the series
of poisonings because the district
is outside the city limits. Kesi
dents of the area said Marion
County Sheriff Denver Young had
, advised them to watch for per
sons scattering bits of food in the
area.
Mis-Trial Ends
Damage Suit in
Circuit Court
i The second mis - trial In less
than a week occurred in Marion
County Circuit Court Wednesday,
and in both cases the cause was
the mention of insurance.
f In damage suits involving auto
accidents, the mention of insur
ance carried by the litigants is
taboo. It is grounds for a judg
ment of mis-trial for the defend
ant or defendants.
In Wednesday's case, a jury was
being chosen to hear suit seek
ing $25,913 in damages when a
juror, under interrogation by at
torneys, repeatedly used the word
"insurance." :
A mis-trial was granted after
a motion for such was made by
the defense. The case involves a
minor, Charles E. Schaefer, who
through his guardian, Mark J.
Sohaefery alleges that George I.
uama was negligent in an auio
accident that took place near ML
i; .
Angel on Oct 10, 1953.
The case will now be re-set and
heard before a different jury.

Increasing the maximum week
ly benefits from $25 to $35, with
higher payroll taxes, was recom
mended by the governor's advi
sory committee on unemployment
compensations
At the same time, H. E. Carl
son, manager of the Oregon Inde
pendent Grocers Association, said
that many grocers would oppose
the recommendation that the un
employment coverage be extend
ed to employers of fewer than
four persons.
Taxpayer Aid i
McKean suggested that as long
as Oregon is adopting the policy
of paying for all unemployment.
the taxpayers should pay part ot
the cost
Oiher spokesman for employers
contended that the worker, too,
should contribute part ot the cost
Walter Mead. Portland econo
mics professor and chairman of
the governor's advisory commit
tee, noted that twice as much
money now is being paid out of
the unemolovment fund as is be
ing paid in. He said the employ
ers would have to pay $11,500,000
more a year to finance existing
benefits, and an additional $3,
000,000 on top of that to pay for
the recommended increases.
Labor spokesmen generally
agreed with the recommenda
tions.
The present payroll tax, ran
ing from .3 to 2.7 per cent would
be upped to .8 to 3 per cent. The
first 4,200 of an employes an
nual earnings would be taxed
compared with $3,000 under pres
ent law,
James H. Cellars, Columbia Em
pire Industries, said the advisory
committee is changing the philo
sophy of the system from an in
surance plan to one to help stabi
me the economy.
, "If that idea is used," Cellars
said, "we should overhaul the en
tire structure and employes should
rot be solely responsible. Even'
bory has a responsibility to stabi
lize the economy, so everybody
should help pay.
"We must consider the health
of business. Taxes are going up
If you dont help maintain a heal
thy business condition, the em
ployes would suffer far more.
The average payroll tax now is
1.1 per cent The committee
plan would raise it to 2.3 per cent

Farm Editor, The Statesman
MT. ANGEL In less than
two years since organization, the
Mt Angel Soil Conservation dis
trict has had 27,600 acres under
soil survey, with only 5,000 acres
still to co.
This report was included in the
program of the annual meeting
of the district neld at Bit Angel
Memorial Hall Wednesday night

ance, with Joe Bernt, Mt Angel,
chairman of the district in
charge.
Hollis Attaway, Salem, secre
tary of the district gave the an

now 504 farms within the dis
trict's boundaries, and that popu
lation is 4.800.
Districts Completed
, Soil surveys- within the dis
tricts will be completed and map
ped this year. These surveys.
Ottaway explained, are "not sur
veys of fertility of the soil, but
of types of soil"
All the wars in the world aren't
as important as that between land
and man. Marshall Dana, U. S.
National Bank, Portland, told
the group. as he addressed them
during the program.
The outcome of this war o:
man versus land, will have more
to do with the survival of the
world than any other war," t he
speaker continued. Soil conserva
tion districts, "such as the one
organized here, are the tools with
which peace in this war wil
be made," he concluded, as he
said that economists are looking
ahead to a "5 per cent better
year in 1955 that in 1954, which
will place 1955 in second place
to 1953, our top economics
year."

soil management and John Wav-
ra urged farmers who wished the

School Board
Sets Budget
Estimate Date
The Salem District School
Board has set Feb. 7 as the dead
line for submission of budget
estimates from all the schools in
the district. The various schools'
needs will be considered by the
board and the Citizens Budget
Committee in preparing a budget
for the district for the fiscal year
beginning July 1 and continuing
until June 30, 1956. '
Walter Snyder, superintendent
of Salem - Public Schools, has
made no estimate as to the bud
get's amount
First review of the budget by
the board and citizens committee
will be March 28. The official
budget , committee, composed of
the school board and five mem
bers of the citizens committee,
will meet April 12, and the vote
by the district on the amount
that will exceed the six per cent
limitation will be held May 6.
It is understood that the dis
trict's staff of teachers may ask
for a salary raise in' the near fu
ture. If granted, adjustments in
the budget to meet the raise
would have to be made.
Making up the Citizens Budget
Committee are Harry J. Willett,
Coburn Grabenhorst, Elton H
Thompson, William Entress and
W. L. Phillips. The latter two
men were reappointed to new
three-year terms by the school
board at its meeting Tuesday

the staze-lighting of the auditor
ium in North Salem High School

The improvement was asked
by Salem Community Concert
representatives. Provision for in
stallation of indirect lighting may
be carried in the forthcoming

amount charged for rent of the
auditorium in the future would
be hiked to defray the expense.
The community concert repre
sentatives said that visiting art
ists had objected to the, present

standing start, setting a new Navy
record.
The Navy in announcing the

Crimes Involving Juveniles
Directed to Domestic Court
: By GARTH FANNING
8taff Writer, The Statesman
Any adult committing a crime
which involves a juvenile any
where in Marion County will an
swer from now on directly to
Judge Joseph B. Felton of the
county's circuit court of domestic
relations. '
Until now, adults charged with
committing crimes against juv
eniles were arraigned first in the
county s district court or Justice
courts. There bail was set and
if the crime constituted a felony
tne adult was referred to the
grand jury for indictment
, If the crime was not of a fel-
onous nature, the person could
enter a plea of either innocent
or guilty, have a trial, be fined,
sentenced to jail or be freed.
Such arraignments in these
courts will be no more under a
program inaugurated by Judge
Felton. Even such a charge of
ndn-support if it involves a juv
enile or juveniles, will be aired
in Judge Felton's court
If the grand jury returns in
dictments against adults referred
to it, they will be sentenced by
the county's presiding circuit
judge, George R. Duncan.

the program, which also' involves
any charge laid against a juvenile
himself. . ' ...
If the minor is arrested for
violation of a state traffic law
or for violation of hunting; and
angling laws, he will be cited to
appear before Judge - Felton.
Heretofore, he was arraigned in
district or justice courts on such
charges. -
Charges of a more serious na
ture, such as burglary, larceny
or even murder, are already re
ferred to Judge Felton. who also
is the county's juvenile court
judge.
The judge, in explaining the
change relating to adult cases,,
cites an Oregon Revised Statute
of 1951 which states that "in ev
ery judicial district comprising
but one county and having a
population of more than 100,000
but less than 300,000, all juris
diction pertaining to proceedings
involving . . . any offense against
a minor . . . hereby is trans
ferred to and vested in the cir
cuit court." .
Change Made
The change has already been
put into effect and during the
last few days Judge Felton has
heard a case of attempted rape,
in which the accused man was
bound over to the grand jury,
and has sentenced two men to
jail for giving beer to minor girls.
The judge explained that, the
new courthouse provides the fac
ilities he had previously lacked
for handling this added case bur
den, and that he now has secre
tarial help for the first time.
Family Court
"The basis for this program,"
said the judge, "is to have all
matters pertaining to juveniles
handled in a family ? court, and
that is what the court of domes-j
tic relations is." - .
The judge doesn't expect the
burden to be increased very
much as far as the county juv
enile department headed by Dr.
James H. Ashbaugh, is con
cerned. That department Is ex
pected to receive only a few more
wards than before under the new
program.
Judge Felton said that i bill
has been introduced in the state
legislature that abides by the re
vised statute previously men
tioned and would establish a cir
cuit court of domestic relations
in Lane County.
