MARKS SPEAKER
ON LEGISLATURE
The majortfy of the members of
the Oregon legislature are men of
good standing in their communities
and come here with the highest
ideals, while many lobbyists attend
the sessions with a spirit of help
fulness, declared Senator Willard
Marks of Albany, president of the
senate in telling the Rotary club
Wednesday, noon some of his reac
tions as a legislator.
There are exceptions to these
statements the speaker declared,
but expressed the opinion that the
members as a rule were working
toward the best Interests of the
state, although the inate selfish
ness of human beings was brought
out when legislators would work
for their own communities rather
than the state as a whole.
Being a legislator taught one to
face responsibilities and not "pass
the buck", the speaker stated, while
at the same time being helpful to
solve problems In theb uslncss
world.
Senator Marks closed his remarks
with an appeal to Oregonlans to
appreciate their own state more
and forget the Inferiority complex
with which residents are more or
less an lie ted.

"We, tlw grand Jury heretofore
duly empaneled, do hereby make
the following presentment to said
court and to your honor and request!
that you Instruct us as to whether!
or not John Doe. hereafter named,
has violated any law of the State
of Oregon, and If so, what law,
"The facts upon which this pre
sentment is based are as follows:
"Heretofore, and during all the
time In this presentment mentioned,
one John Doe was the duly appoint
ed and acting sis engineer of the
State of Oregon. Between the first

propriate public waters; to have per
mits to appropriate waters record
ed In the county wherein the per
mit is effective; fees of the state
engineer to be remitted to the state
treasurer, and certain mlscellanous
funds handled by said state engineer
as accomodations to certain Irri
gation district sand other groups.
"On January 1, 1029, said state
engineer was responsible for a total
of $38,780.09 of which amount $29,
159 93 consisted of fees received
from applicants to appropriate pub-
he waters; fees received from ap
plicants to have permits to appro
priate waters recorded in the county
wherein the perm't was effective,
and fees of the state engineer to be
remitted to the state treasurer, and
$9,620.76 of such miscellaneous funds
handled by said sUte engineer as

the same classes of funds, was $08,
747.24. of Which amount $35,597.27
belonged to the first three classes
above set forth and $2,149.97 be
longed to the said miscellaneous
accounts.
"The first three classes of ac
counts above mentioned ore known
as 'pending fee accounts' and they
represent statutory fees received for
which the state engineer Is unable,
pending investigation, to complete
the states part of the transaction.
When finally disposed of, the fee
will either be remitted to the state
treasurer as a fee of the state en
glneer, or if the permit cannot be
issued, the fee will be refunded to
the applicant. The recording fees
for permits were remitted to the
respective counties upon the Issu
ance of the permit, or if no permit
Is Issued, the amount of the fees
is refunded to the applicant. These
items range in amounts from one
dollar to several hundred dollars.
There are approximately five thous
and one-dollar permit and certifi
cate recording Items being held at
the present time.
"Prom January the first, 1927,
said moneys were kept on deposit
In the bank by said state engineer
in the name of the state engineer.
upon which interest was paid by
said bank to said Jolm Doe, state
engineer aforesaid. In the amount
of $4,229.70. This sum was retained
by said John Doe. state engineer
aforesaid, from the time of Its re
ceipt by him from the bank until
demanded of him on August 2b,
1930, at which time there was paid
to the state treasurer of the state
of Oregon by said John Doe, state
engineer aforesaid, the sum of $1,
800.20, and the balance was nld by
sum ajonn lux, stair cnniiiecr, aiure-
said. upon demand to said state
treasurer on the tenth day of Oc
tober, 1930.
"These interest items were not

the said state engineer.
"In addition to the foregoing, said
John Doe, state engineer aforesaid,
collected interest in certain central

paid at par, plus interest, amount
ing to $327.80. Upon demand, said
John Doe, state engineer aforesaid,
paid to the state of Oregon $42.80,
which was the difference between
the value of said warrant as car
ried on his books and the par value,
which was paid, plus the interest
accrued thereon, and paid.
"Said John Doe, state engineer
aforesaid, also collected interest on
North Unit Warrant No. 1122 in the
amount of $70.83, which he retained

SCHOOL BOARD

night by Director Prank Neer who
had received complaints from par
ents. The home room or activity

school day, and the home room per
iod takes 40 minutes, from 12:30 to

periods.

sion devoted to minor business, de
clared Itself in favor of free text

trict's financial condition does not
warrant the expense the bill would
entail. The opinion was requested
by Representative Romeo oouiey.

of the Judge. "But I am not go
ing to engage an any controversy
here about it and X want it stopped,"
"I am not going to stop It," hurled
back the district attorney.
"Sit down." thundered back the
judge. "Sit down, I've had enough
of It."
"I'll not sit down." declared the
district attorney. "I haven't been
guilty of any breach of etiquette in
this court and as long as I am an
officer of this court and a citizen
I'll stand In this court as long as
i please."
The scene ended with tlw dis
trict attorney still standing and the
grand Jury retiring to its room.
It opened with Foreman Petty
john of the grand jury, after It had
submitted a partial report of its
proceedings, asking the court
whether it was legal for the deputy
district attorney to receive the
salary of $100 a month from the
general fund and $75 a month ad
ditional from the prohibition fund.
The court. In answering stated
that under the prohibition law 75
per cent of half the money is used
by the district attorney for expenses
of enforcement, and 25 per cent to
the sheriff lor the same purpose.
The residue of the county's share
goes to the general fund. He stat
ed the question was whether the
prosecuting attorney could pay his
deputy in addition to tne salary
paid by the county Itself. He stated
the prohibition law was not clear
in Itself. In effect, he stated, the
district attorney and his deputy
were entitled only to such salaries
as expressly provided by law.
"No man can take a cent out of
public funds unless he can place his
finger on a law which specifically
authorizes htm to take such public
funds," said the court.
He said the county court at any
time would have the right to in
crease the deputy's salary but the
payment of such additional salary
out of the prohibition fund was
void. Referring to an attorney
general's opinion on the subject, he
stated an ootnlon of the attorney
eeneral is merely advisory, and Is
binding on no one.
District Attorney Carson asked
the court to take Judicial notice
that the co inty court had directed
payment ol this additional salary
to the deputy oisinci anorney.
"The county court has no Juris
diction over tills fund, said the
court, "it is placed in your charge
and In charge of the sheriff."
But." answered the district at
torney, "the residue goes into the
general fund and as residuary lega
tee of this amount the court has
authority to direct its payment as
it has done. An order or ine court
to this effect was put on file five
years ago."
And it maa here the argument
started between the court and dis
trict attorney.

ADVANTAGES OF
BUREAU URGED
BY M'PHERSON
Advantages of the proposal o(
Dr. Hector MacPheraon of Um Ore
gon legislature lor the creation W
a department of agriculture wm
outlined by the sponsor of the Mil
before persons attending the Wed
neseday afternoon session of the an
nual meeting of the Oregon Coop
erative council being held in the
rooms of the chamber of commerce.
The measure has for Its chief ob
jectives the consolidation of scat
tered boards and commission for
greater efficiency, MacPheraon told
his audience. At the same time it
would probably eliminate some over
lappings activities and cut down ex
penses. However, he expressed him
self as being personally In favor
of spending more money on agri
cultural problems rather than leas.
The cnier weakness oc ine pro
posal, Dr. MacPheraon stated, it
the fact that the head of the pro
posed department Is named by the
governor and is subject to the whim
of the chief executive's appointive
power.
Members of the council pointed
out that the measure would create
an army of job hunters unless safe
guarded by state civil service.
The proposed law provides ior a
director at a salary of $5000. The
question of whether a suitable man
could be secured for this sum waa
brought up. It was Intimated that
If a suitable man would not serve
for this amount. Governor Meier
would see that the additional funds
were secured from private sources.
Whether the council would en
dorse the proposed measure was to
be decided during tne auernoon
discussion.
W. O. Ide, manager of the state
chamber of commerce, and J. U.
Truil, extension economist. Oregon
State college, were among the speak
ers Wednesday forenoon.
The Tuesday afternoon conference
member of the federal farm board
was addressed by C. B. Denman,
who declared he had faith In the
federal marketing act in its ability
to eventually work to the advantage
of agriculture.
SALVATION ARMY
HALL CONDEMNED
Proceedings condemning the Sal
vation Army hall on State street
may be taken unless the building la
torn down witnin a lew montns.
Tills was a comment by Ensign Wil
liams after he had received a let
ter Wednesday morning from Clare
Lee, state fire warden, in which the
condition of the building waa re
viewed Walls of the building are Irregular
and on the east side are warped
so as to lean against a telephone
pole which is oJose by. In case
fire would break out there would
however, be a means of escape for
anyone in the building, according
to the letter.
The floor of the second story
began to sag. Williams tells, and
help refused to work in the kitchen
when a dozen sacks of potatoes were
stacked In an upstairs store room
because of lack of space on the
first floor. This was when Christ
mas baskets were being prepared.
A new building has been planned
for several years. Architect's draw
ings and bids have long been made
for a new building which would take
the place of the old structure now
on the Salvation Army lot. Ensign
Williams expects plans to mature
so that actual work of building a
new hall may begin wlthm two
months.
