Grievances of Willamette valley
flax growers against the state

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

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

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
