FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR No. 158 SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY S, 1925 mTT7 TTJT?1?1?

Action of the state board of control recently in Increasing the salaries of Dr. R. E. L. Steiner, superintendent of the state hos pital for the Insane at Salem, and Dr. H. D. McNary, superintendent of the state hospital at Pendleton, hae been followed by a demand from the superintendents of other state Institutions that they also be granted increases. There Is some speculation here whether the de mand that is being made will re sult In the ouster of some super intendents who are not In favor with a majority of the board. The salaries of Dr. Steiner and Dr. McNary were increased from $3,000 to $4,000 each. This was done because of an act of the 1925 legislature prohibiting state officials or employes from using state-owned automobiles for any purpose but state business. Dr. McNary Informed the board that since bis residence is located sev eral miles from Pendleton it Is necessary that he use the hospital car for personal business trips, and that he would resign it denied that privilege with his salnry remaining at the old figure. The board saw justice in his ;)Ct!t!oti, and a condition of the increase In the salaries of both McNay and Steiner In th.it they provide tht'r o.' PutomnbP'is for personal business and pleasure trips. At an early meeting the board will have to consider the-demands of other superintendents for salary increases under similar terms, and Just what will be done about It Is at present a delicate question with the board. Just who of the other superin tendents have put in their de mnndq could not be ascertained here today, but there are nine other superintendents, and It is understood several of them want higher salaries If denied the per sonal use of the Institution motor Tehleles.

The president was speaking at a celebration marking the 150th anniversary of the day George Washington took command of the Continental Army, and nearly the whole address had been devoted to a review of the public services ot the Father ot His Country. His reference to the present day prob lems of Europe came just at the end, and was compressed Into a few studious-chosen words which made no specific reference to de tails of the security pact proposals recently under consideration abroad. A recapitulation of the virtues of Washington provided the cue for the pronouncement which was the first formal statement on the subject to he voiced on behalf of the administration. After re. counting Washington's faith In the principles of democracy and honesty, Mr. Coolidge continued: "The vigor with which he In sisted on the prosecution of war was no less than the vigor with which he insisted on the observ ance of peace. He cherished no resentments, he harbored no ha treds, he forgave hfs enemies. He felt the same obligation to execute the terms of a treaty made for the benefit of a former foe that be felt to require the observance of those made for the benefit of his own country. He realized that peace could be the result only of mutual forebearance and mutual good faith.
