"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it fine." BYRON. Steiwer's Noble Service , Oreeonians can note with pardonable pride that having recovered from the scare created by Jim Reed's little joke of threatening to publish, the list of senators and congress men who were persistent violators of the Volstead law and constant customers of bootleggers frequenting the corridors Sf the national capitol, Senator Steiwer did valiant service as one of the prohibition leaders in putting over the Anti ' Saloon League's new bill providing drastic penalities for liquor law violators. Of course Mr. Steiwer is a compari tively recent convert to the cause of the noble experiment, having joined the ranks of the political drys during his can didacy two years ago, but his zeal as a proselyter is. all the greater. . The penalties provided by the bill engineered through by the Oregon senator and also voted for by Senator McNary include a $10,000 fine or five years imprisonment or both for first offenders along with hardened violators of the Vol stead act. It is therefore, as characterized by Senator Bruce "another step in the march of tyranny by marking out all distinction between first and subsequent offenses." - Now a $10,000 fine and 5 years imprisonment for a first offense, for what is merely a misdemeanor, is going some, but we think the senator erred on the side of leniency. We already have life imprisonment for repeaters without check ing the repeating, so that more drastic penalties are needed. The bill should have provided shooting at sunrise, which would at least decimate the number of the thirsty and ought to gladden the heart of ardent drys like Senator Steiwer. In this connection we again repeat our hope that the $24,000,000 additional sought for enforcement be utilized to dry up the District of Columbia including congress. It would be retributive justice for some of our senators to have to pungle up $10,000 and serve five years in prison for their- first offense that is the first they were caught at. Besides, it is only fair that those who provide penalties for others for doing what they do themselves, those whom Senator Reed characterized as "knavish hypocrites, who mask be hind pretended virtue and seek to hold office by virtue of false pretenses" should be given a dose of their own purify ing medicine and so help them "sink into that obliquy which is the 3ust reward, of cruelty, oppression and wrong." For Consolidation . The heads of the State University and Agricultural Col lege and Normal schools say that if it is necessary to have a board of regents and merge the millage taxes, they want to have something to say about it, and have agreed upon the following program, though objecting to the whole proposal: Appointment ot a board of regent to handle the affairs of the univer sity, college and normals, the board to consist of nine members, the term of one to expire each year. The governor is to make the appointments, but they must be con firmed by the senate, none of the regents is to be appointed from the towns in which the schools are located and not more than one member of the direotors or regents shall be an alumnus of one or the other schools. This means that three of the board of regents will be alumnus, one from the normal, one from the college-and one from the university. The sum derived from the millage will be pooled and the board of regents win mane the necessary division. The Schulmerich-Bell bill which creates a board of higher education with a board of nine directors who would hire a chancellor and have supervision and control of the normal schools ami the university and college, attempts to carry out this plan. However, any consolidation program should be based upon a scientific survey of the institutions by impartial educational experts, but the selection of a common board is the first step towards the desired consoli dation. If the measure is defeated, it will probably be due to political pressure exerted by the higher educational insti tutions through their extensive organization in the legis lature and without. However, if the legislature fails to act, a mucn more drastic program of consolidation will unques tionably be put up to the people by initiative petition. WAYS, MEANS BODY OUT TO LOWER TAXES (Continued from Pat 1) presented by W. Q. Ida of Portland snowing the number of new settlers that had been brought to the state. "You don't believe that, do you?" Strayer replied. "Then you don't believe the state chamber Is on a sound business basis?" Collier asked. "I think the state chamber has on hand a high-pressure program to give somebody a Job. Who It Is I don't know' was 8 tray era answer. Only Kiddle and Collier voted to approve the bill. The measures disapproved were: Dunne resolution for $2500 for John B, Yeon memorial; (U000 for pout- try disease investigations: $13,000 for agricultural experiment station in Deschutes county; $2500 to locate graves of ex-soldlers; $980 claim of E. E. Jamison against state lime board; $7500 for topographic map of state; bill to Increase county fair tax levy from one-twentieth to one tenth of a mill; to. create a revolv ing fund for the state printer; pro viding for a committee to investi gate the matter ot taxes on federal forest lands. A proposed appropriation of $11, 600 to reimburse Washington and Yamhill county farmers for clover plowed up under orders of the Btate board of horticulture in fighting the nematode pest, which had been dis allowed the previous evening, was given another hearing Wednesday night. The majority and minority re ports of a sub-committee on state university and state college affairs, which have been the cause of much dissension, were tabled. In place of the disapproved Yeon memorial resolution Senator Dunne will Introduce another not carrying an appropriation. A sub-committee was appointed to investigate tho soldiers' and sailors' commission which is asking for $1500. Senator Strayer recalled that about 40 years ago the legis lature allowed it $100,000, and said he wanted to know what was done with the money. The committee approved a bill calling for an annual audit of all state departments. . Bills providing for appropriations covering improvement of streets in Eugene, Corvallis and Monmouth on which state property abuts were referred to tho sub-committee on claims. A senate joint resolution for a fact-finding commission to investi gate the state university and the state college was tabled. Claims presented for the relief of former holders of Columbia South ern project contracts were referred to the claims committee. house building beside the power plant on UMrty nreet near Mill. Due to the big fill being made in Liberty street, between Trade and Mill and the construe lion of the culvert over the mill ditch, the present warehouse building is longer suitable, and will be aban doned. The main office of the company will continue to be located in its present quarters at 237 North Lib erty street, until the time arrives to build an office and electric store building on the property which the company purchased a few years ago, just north of the NeUon building on Liberty and Chemeketa streets. The expenditures contemplated In Salem and vicinity during the year 1929 include: . For extension of distribution sysT tern, Including pole lines transform ers, etc., $90,000; installation of one 12,500 kilo-watt, 67,000 volt, three phase transformer at the power house at Milt and Liberty streets, $45,750; one 10,000 kilo-watt rotary condenser at power house, $59,000. warehouse on -North Liberty, $40, 000; small additions to station buildings, $2,400; gas main exten sion, $1,800; outdoor substation In Momlngslde addition, $3500; un derground construction in Willson avenue to permit removal of poles adjacent to Willson avenue on Court and State streets, $3,200. The ex penditures total $245,650. "The above contemplated expend itures are both a measure of the growth of Salem and vicinity, In an electrical way," Mr. Hamilton states, "and also an indication of the faith and confidence that the officials of the Portland Electric Power com pany have In the future growth of Salem and surrounding country. "The amount of money required for the extension of distribution lines in and about Salem, has been increasing annually, due to the rapid growth and development of the community. "The installation of the above mentioned 12,500 kilo-watt trans former will increase the high ten sion transformer capacity of the local power stations 180 per cent.1 A steel switching structure, sim ilar to the one which the company has in West Salem, will be required to provide connections to and from this transformer.
