PAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON ASK LOAN FOR FLAX GROWERS Farmers Appear Be- lore the Committee Which Recommends Payment of Claims Grievances of Willamette valley flax growers against the state prison (lax plant and opposition of Portland social workers to the site selected (or the new boys' training school by the board of control, were aired before the leg islative steering committee Tues day night. A large delegation of Marion county farmers appeared before the committee to plead tor relief from their financial stringency arising out of the inability of the state to pay for (lax delivered to the state prison plant last fall, This crop, is was stated, repre sented the bulk ot the incomes of some of these men for the past year and failure of the -state to meet its obligations to them, it was declared, had placed many of them in serious embarrassment, Compton Explains. Warden Louis Compton, man ager of the flax plant, who was called in to explain the state's side of this situation declared that the serious depression of the flax market had made it impossible to dispose of the finished product which the state had on hand and that for this reason no money was available to pay for the new crop, The (steering committee) indl eated its readiness to recommend action by the special session look ing to the payment of these claims aggregating approximately $37, ooo. .... .r Training School Site. Objection to the training school site was voiced by a delegation of social workers headed by Will T. Hale, for six years superintendent of the state school. - These oblec tions were based on the proximity of the site to the state penitent iary, the state tuberculosis bos pital and other institutions as well as upon the rocky character of the soil in the tract which, it was de- j clared, would make it impossible to employ the boys in the institution to advantage in farm work. A bill introduced in the house by Rep resentative Linn would have au thorized the board of control to purchase another site for the school with a part of the $280,000 appropriated by the regular ses sion for the new institution. The pleas of the social workers, how ever, apparently (ailed to impress the committee which voted unani mously to recommend that the Linn bill "do not pass." Other Bills Passed. The Norblad bill, authorizing the transportation of students from outside a school district, was approved by the committee after State Superintendent of Schools Churchill had spoken in its favor declaring that between 1000 and 1200 pupils now so transported would be deprived o schooling privileges unless this plan was validated by legislative action. most of which were killed in Ida ' Pat Gallagher's bounty bill, ho and Nevada and brought over making the payment of coyote into Oregon, he declared. bounties optional with each coun- 21 Inches of Rain Falls ML Wilson Los Angeles, Cat., Dec. 21.
