OREGON SAFE
FOR ROOSEVELT
New York, March 21 t7P Cart C.
Donaugh. chairman of the Oregon
democratic state committee, In a
letter received at Roosevelt head
quarters today, characterized Ore
gon "absolutely safe" for Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt in his pre
conventlon campaign for the demo
cratic presidential nomination.
In a letter for James A. Farley,
chairman of the New York state
democratic committee and Govern
or Roosevelt's unofficial campaign
manager, Donaugh denied a rumor
which he said had been circulated
that he had "come out" for Speaker
John Garner, also a potential can
didate. "Outside of general admiration for
Mr. Garner by democrats because
of his prominence in the party,
there Is no evidence of support or
demand in Oregon for his nomina
tion, nor has there been any move
ment whatever in his behalf," Do
naugh wrote.
"There has been some talk in be
half of Governor Murray of Okla
homa and Governor. Ritchie of
Maryland, but so far that has not
materialized. Governor Roosevelt
is the orly one whose name has
been qualified to date to enter the
primaries.

DISCUSS PLANS
TO CUT COSTS
OF CITY SCHOOLS
Two alternate ways of effecting'
economies In the operation of the
Salem public schools will be pre
sented by Superintendent George
Hug Tuesday night when members
of the board meet for a preliminary
discussion of the budget for the
coming year. One of Superintendent
Hug's suggestions Is that all prin
cipals be asked to teach regular
classes, thus eliminating one teach
er In each school. The other is that
a general reauctlon In salaries
among the Instructors who are re
ceiving more than $1500 a year be
put Into effect. There Is a possi
bility that board members may see
fit to put both proposals into oper
ation or they may reject either
or both.
In addition to these proposals out
lined It Is expected the superintend
ent will recommend a reduction in
the supervisorial staff, eliminate a
paid band Instructor and abolish
the position of head of the voca
tional education department. A
few heads of departments, including
the machine shoos, who have been
drawing salaries on a lz-montn
basis will be placed on a par with
other Instructors Insofar as pay Is
concerned.
No married women will be con
sidered when it comes to hiring In
structors. Superintendent Hug states.
This rule was established a few
years ago but the bars have been
let down In one or two cases.
Hug, In explaining his budget
recommendations, points out that
Salem teachers have always been
under paid in comparison with other
schools of the state. He stated em
phatically that he does not favor
a general reduction In wages for Sa
lem teachers but that for the sake
of economy It may become i.eces-
sary to shave a little here una a
little there from tnose who are re
ceiving the larger amount.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
school has been reduced to a level
below that of 1923-24, the books
show. There are now outstanding
$158,000 In bonds and 1156,000 In
warrants.
CHERRY GROWERS

Delegates from Royal Anne cherry
districts of California, Oregon,

ed plans for a Pacific coast cherry
council here February 22. will meet
In Portland next Monday when K

Wallace S. Nelson, executive man
ager of the chamber of commerce
here, who was loaned by the cham
ber directorate to the tentative or
ganization for 30 days, will present
plans of operation and a proposed
budget.
At the recent The Dalles meeting
It was ascertained that the Pacific
coast annual average yield of white
cherries now reaches 20,000 tons.
Canners consume about .8.000 tons
per year. Growers and their sales
organizations, as a result of the tar
iff on Imported brined and bar
reled cherries, have been able to
rid themselves of a surplus.
It will be the purpose of the new
organization to stabilize markets,
obtained aid of federal agencies In
financing the harvest, processing
and sales campaigns, to standard
ize grades of brined and barreled
fruit and to launch a new campaign
to expand markets.

COUNCIL ACTS
TONIGHT ON VETO
OF MILK FUND
Aldermen who are favorable to
the passage of the amendatory bill
to prohibit tne eiswiouiion oi grauc
a Dasteurtzed milk In the city of
Salem were guessing today that
the measure would be passed at the
council meeting tonight over the
veto of Mavor Oregory.
The bill has the support of the
Dairymen's cooperative association
and the onoosiuon oi tne mux Dis
tributors. It passed the council by
a bare majority of eight votes, and
Mayor Gregory vetoed It, one oi
the grounds for the vote being that
It discriminated against the distri
butors and In favor of canned milk
companies.
While It first looked like an lm
nosslhUltv for the necessary two-
thirds to be mustered to pass It
over the veto It looked today as If
this might be done, some menioers
hinting that they might change
their votes. Alderman Vandevort,
one of the members voting against
the bill two weeks ago, said ne
would attempt to get it reconsider
ed. This was mode unnecessary by
the mayor's veto.
A bill to put the civil service
questions for the fire department
on the May ballot will come up for
third reading tonignt. ana aouw-
less.wiU pass, since no organized
opposition has developed against It.
Another bill for a ballot measure,
providing for municipal lighting
Improvement districts also will be
up for third reading.
The bill calling for an annual
occupational license tax against
concerns selling gasoline for fuel
probably will not be reported out
for third reading. A fight Is being
made against the bill which was
the subject of a public hearing last
week.
A bill which has as Its purpose
putting a stop on livestock and
poultry auctions In certain districts
of the city will be reported cut
favorably.

ELEVEN SAVED
FROM BANDITS
Mexico City. March 31 m Elev
en Americans had arrived at their
destinations In Mexico safe, but
late, today after escaping from
bandits who wrecked an Interna
tional passenger train yesterday
near Mariscala, Queretaro state.
The train carried three pullman
cars from fit. Louis and San An
tonio. The fireman and an express
messenger were killed, but soldiers,
acting as a train escort, rauted the
bandits before they could rob the
passengers. I
Officials of the Mexican National
railways today considered augment
ing train escorts. Soldiers scoured
the hills above Mariscala seeking
the bandits.
The wreck was caused by a rail
which the bandits had loosened
and which the train hit at normal
speed.
Hardly had the dust settled when
the bandits, about thirty In num
ber, closed in. The detachment of
soldiers was Immediately organized
and drove back the attackers, kill
ing one of them.
MURRAY NOT FOR
1 6 TO I RATIO
Oklahoma City, March 21 (IP
Oov. W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray of
Oklahoma favors Increased coinage
of silver, but Is not seeking the dem
ocratic presidential nomination on
Bryan's 16-to-l" platform.
The Oklahoma executive clarified
his position on currency reform In
an interview with tne united Press
before he left for a speaking tour of
the old south. He denied the charg
es of eastern writers that he was a
"reincarnation of William Jennings
Bryan" and was sending delegates
to the national convention instruct'
ed "16-to-l."
There can be no dispute about
both gold and sliver representing
value. Bank rotes should represent
a limited portion of the value of
some product, plus an actual reserve
of money.
"Since there Is not a sufficient
amount of gold In the world to do
this, without a diminution of the
amount of money In circulation, tt
would seem essential that silver be
added, as was Intended by the con
stitution of the United States.
"The government should coin a
sufficient amount of money. Qold
and 2 iver, to take care of the nor
mal business of the country and suf -flclent
to become the basis lor 'tok
en' money, through bank currency or
notes. The world will suffer until
this Is done."
Murray warned, however, that In
his mind, additional coinage of mon
ey is not as Important as "breaking
the chains that bind credit."
A TTENTION!
What Your Credit
Means To You
Did you ever stop to think what it really means to you
to be able to walk Into a store, buy some article of mer
chandise, sav to the clerk, "Just put this on my ac
count." and he smilingly agrees to do so? Wasn t It
a pleasant sensation to walk out knowing that your
credit was GOOD even if you didn't have a cent in
your pocket?
STOP as you read (his article, and consider how Important tt is
U have the confidence of that merchant Io yow realke that more
people have had to depend upon credit during the last year than
In any other year In the history of the United States? CREDIT IS
THE AVKRACiE MAN'S CAPITAL. The man with good credit has
a definite asaet. He la recognized as a man who has taken on ob-lisallon-and
met them hit word Is geod, and be ran be relied
nam. ' His trade Is welcome everywhere.
CHECK I P ON YOl'RSELF see If YOU are treating your merch
ant friend fairly or yowr Decler, Hospital, or anyone else who
helped yon when yon needed credit. Most of as do not realise
what the merchant is np against at the present time. Von must
remember that lie has Ills own personal obligations to meet as
well as his bmlne-w expenses and the cost of the merchandise he
sells you. His bills must be paid promptly so when a merchant
carries your account over 20 days he starts paying interest en the
account he was once trying te make a fair profit en.
WHEN MONEY I SCARCE and yoo need help the most It is
more Important than ever that yon maintain your credit standing.
If you cannot pay your aerount In full make a partial payment
and make It NOW. A little from each of his debtors helps the
merchant or doctor meet HIS obligations. Bet suppose yon have
been oat of work or yon have sickness In your home and yew
can't at present pay even a PART of It. Don't quit your merchant
and stay out of his store because yen owe him. Talk It ever with
him. He will be fair to yoo te the extent ef his ability. If yoa
MUST ge on a cash basis whe Is more entitled to year cash bwd
nrv than the man who helped yon when yow needed help? DO NT
Qt IT stay with him keep bis confidence, Ms goodwill, and saam
tain your credit.
REMEMBER Your credit Is roar grealest asset. Lose II and yea
luee something yew may never regain. Keep your credit good by
paying promptly or making a satisfactory arrangement
POOR PAY Costs the man who dees net pay the aaost
EVEN (or purely selfish reasons pay wa and keep yonr credit good.

WATCH FOR THE YELLOW
SALE
HOOP RECEIPTS
$300 LESS BUT
CROWD LARGER
Although the attendance at the
13th annual state basketball tourna
ment was greater than during the
one held last year, the gross receipts
will run about $300 less, Graduate
Manager Leatle Sparks of Willam
ette university, who was In charge
of the financial end of the show,
stated Monday. Receipts last year
were $5700 as against 15400 for this
year.
A reduction in the prl:e of season
tickets and a cut in the single ad
mission tickets with the exception of
the final night, were responsible for
the decline In receipts.
The largest crowd during the 13th
tournament was Friday night, the
evening that Astoria defeated Ben
son of Portland. If a Portland team
1 ad remained In the running, the at
tendance Saturday night would have
been even greater, if that bad been
possible.
Members of the board of control
expressed themselves well pleased
with the manner In which Willam
ette university handled the tourna
ment. Everything ran off smoothly,
there being but one delay In the
starting of the games and that came
the first night when the contest was
held up four minutes when it was
found the balls had been misplaced.
This year there were 16 teams as
against 12 In former years. A slight
reduction In expenses was made pos
sible through paying of a cent a mile
travelling expenses for each player.
Heretofore actual railroad mileage
had been allowed.
