PAGE TWELVE THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1931 OPINION VOIDS BUILDING LEASE PLANOF STATE The state cannot enter Into a 20 year purchase lease for the Oregon Building In Portland for office use t a net of $40,000 a year, the at torney general held In an opinion handed down to the secretary of the state board of control. 8uch a lease would be In violation of the tale constitution which denies the state the right to Incur an Indebted ness of more than 150,000 except In war and the building of roads. The opinion of I. H. Van Winkle Is based upon recent supreme court decisions In which the Indebtedness of counties and cities to purchase buildings on an annual basis were denied. The plan of the state in re gards the Oregon building was to purchase the building on the basis of 30 annual payments. In another opinion, Van Winkle neid that the county of Klamath and city of Klamath Falls cannot use the 190.000 voted at a special election recently for the construc tion of an armory. The election was held to vote $90,000 to be applied on an armory, with the state ap propriating the other $90,000. The election was held at the time bill was Introduced In the state legislature asking an appropriation for the armory. The bill failed to pass. The attorney-general . then held that that "authority conferred by the special election does not in clude power to construct an armory In any other manner or upon any other conditions than those con templated at the time the elections were held, which do not Include authority on the part of the city and'eounty to construct an armory at less cost and without state aid."

UNEMPLOYED MAY BE GIVEN CHANCE Mayor Gregory believes the un employment situation has reached the point In Salem where the city should lay off some of the men who have been on the public payroll for a long time and supplant them for a time with men having families, who are without funds and unable to find employment. Following a talk to the council by the mayor Monday night on the situation a special employment com mittee was appointed on motion of Alderman Vandevort to see what can be - done to bring about a change. Vandevort, Hughes and Necdham were appointed on the committee. Vandevort strongly seconded the mayor's sentiments. He did not con- flne his remarks to city employment. but declared that the canneries and other employing concerns should take cognizance of condi tions. He rapped school teachers and others having steady employment during the winter who get employ ment during the summer, with the result, he said, that large numbers of other persons, some having fam ilies to support, are without work all the tunc. $3 Bills Appear Bait Lake City, Utah (IP) Three dollar bills are appearing here since publication of the claim of a Chl cagoan that he possessed the only bill of such denomination In circu lation.

L. Merrylees reveals that their Uvea have been much shorter in the last half century than earlier In United States history. Of the presidents who served before 1853, the average life after retirement was 15.09 years, accord ing to Dr. Merrylees. But since 1053 the average life of ex-presidents has been only eight years. TREE MEASURE NOT TAKEN UP Someone evident protested the city para ooaras proposed resolu tion calling for a drastic trimming of trees and shrubbery about the city, for it was not Introduced at Monday nights session of the city council as had been contemplated. The resolution had been drawn and filed with the city recorder, but It was not read. Alderman Vandevort and Hughes got Into a wrangle In the session Monday night over the proposed grading of an alley between North Church and North Cottage streets. Vandevort was demanding that Street Commissioner Walter S. Low be ordered to get the Job done or be called to account at the next meeting of the council. . Hughes de clared that Low wasn't' to blame, and that property owners Involved had failed to put up cash deposits for graveling the thoroughfare as is required for Improvements of that character. Low was also defended by Alderman Patton. Someone with money Is holding up the progress of this council," Vandevort aserted. Hughes lumped to his feet with a threat In his eye. "What'a that you say?" he demanded. The mayor altered the council into other less treatile&ome matters and the two aldermen became friendly again. In a recent month Japan export- ed nearly $450.000 worth of toys. KOWITZ LABOR BILL IN AGAIN AMeraian Chris Kowitr labor or dinance, vhich he has tried on pre vious occasions to get through the city council, was again introduced Monday nii&i. Kowitz vas absent from the meeting. The bill provides that In contract employment In Salem only citizens of the United States shall be em ployed and that ) per cent of them sllfcll be residents of Salem of at least 30 days' standing. These con ditions would be written into all contracts affecting public works, with SS0 penalty assessed against the contractor for each violation. A new amendatory drunken driv er ordinance was passed, making the city ordinance conform to the new state law. It provides that for the first offense the defendant shall be fined not less than $100 or more than $500 and Imprisoned for not less than 60 days or more than six months, and that he shall lose his driver's license for a year. For the second offense the penalty Is fine of not less than $200 or more than $500 and Imprisonment for not less than 90 days or more than six months and a year's cancellation of license. On motion of Alderman Patton the council made delinquent street assessments a special order of busi ness for the next council meeting. AJderman Patton personally read and Introduced his resolution con gratulating Governor Meier for his efforts to reduce taxation. He did not attach a clause, as he had in tended, calling upon the ways and means committee to expedite action on the 1932 budget. On the question of adoption of the resolution two or three members mumbled affirma tives and no one voted against- It, so It was adopted. A petition was received for a street light at Wilber and Yew streets. On motion of Townecnd an In vestigation was ordered into the condition of certain bridges where It Is said debris Is accumulating. SILENT I OH 11 YEARS Salem, Mass.
