THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 1933 BOUNDARIES OF NEW SCHOOL DISTRICTS FIXED The district boundary board to day adopted a map and approved an order fixing the boundaries of the five districts of the county which In turn will comprise the new non-high school district which In Itself will be made up of all of the non-high school districts of the county. This district will have charge of administering the county high school tuition fund law and transportation of high school pupils and wui nave power to levy tne tax for these purposes. The func tions are to be handled by a board 01 live directors, one each from tne five districts outlined by the dis trlct boundary board today. While the new law does not go Into effect until June 9, the first election of the five directors is to be held June 19. By a strange quirk the law provides that notices must be posted 20 days before the election, but Inasmuch as this would be Impossible this year the court Is proceeding to get the stage all set to go ahead as soon as the law Is In effect. Residents of non high school districts may become candidates for directors by filing petitions carrying 30 or more quail fled signers. The board members stated today these petitions could be prepared ready for filing as soon 8 the law goes into effect and by outlining the various districts can didates will know from what dis tricts they will runT But, even though the big district is divided Into five smaller ones ,ail of the voters In the big district will vote on all of the candidates The small er districts were laid off obviously to spread the membership of the board out over the county rather than having it all come from the most populous section. The districts were mapped off so as to nave all as nearly as possible of the same population. It Is shown that the Mt. Angel section has the largest population of any non-high school district of the county. It was necessary also In making me map or tne live districts to follow school district lines In all cases. So to meet the two require ments the county is considerably cut up in creating the five districts but Inasmuch as all the voters vote on all the candidates boundary board members said this would make little difference as long as requirements of the law were followed. JIMMY'S WIFE WEEPS IN COURT Miami, Pin., March 21 OT Weep ing as she told of her efforts at a reconciliation with James J. Walker, Mrs. Janet Allen Walker testified In her divorce suit today that the former New York mayor left her four years ago and had refused to return. Mrs. Walker testified emphatically that she was not seeking alimony. She said her husband has con tinued to contribute to her living "He has never Deen anything but kind In that respect," she said. Mrs. Walker wept frequently as her attorney, A. Frank Katzentlne. questioned her about details of her married lire. She broke down momentarily when she told of her wedding on April 11, 1912, and again when ques tioned about her separation in 1928. "Have you ever made efforts al reconciliation?" she was asked.. "I certainly have," she replied "but even this winter when I beg ged him to come down here, he refused." After she had concluded her brief testimony, two real estate dcnlcrs, Louis P. Snedlgar and J, J. Pretwell, Jr., testified they had known Mrs. Walker through real estate dealings with her, nnd that tney had never seen Mr. Wtirctt her Miami homes. Illation and submission of initiative proposals. On the final day the- substitute bill went back to the house where the change to amend the dales was rejected and a conference com mittee was appointed. At mlamght of the final evening of the ses sion, only about an hour before sine die adjournment the confer ence committee met and went over the bill section bv section. It an proved the change in the title re garding Initiative measures. Perusal of section one of the bill drew to the attention of the con. ferces the fact that It provided for tne submission of constitution amenumens and measures by the legislature and such measures as the referendum was Invoked against, but that the section Itself did not mention Intlatlve proposals. The ommlsslon was talked of and an amendment to correct It agreed upon. The amendment does not, however appear In the engrossed bill and a comparison of the report of the conference committee with the en brossed bill today reveals that the amendment was not written into the report as filed with' the clerks of the house and senate. As it stands the special election act provides in the title for the sub mission of Initiative measures but does not do so in the body of the act, although there is nothing in the wording of the act prohibiting the submission of initiatvc proposals. unomctai opinion expressed about the captol is to the effect that the intent of the legislature to Include initiative is expressed sufficiently in tne title. In the event that the opinion of the attorney general Is adverse and the secretary of state declines to certify the repeal proposal to the county clerks for a place on the July ballot sponsors for the repeal peti tion plan to mandamus the secre tary of state to submit the proposal. Continuation Of Referendum From Page One Cornoyer, In charge of petition cir culation in the Willamette valley. The approximate total of 48.0W signatures to the petitions were ob tained in five days of actual circu lation. Whether the repeal measure will appear on the July ballot or be held over to the general election of November, 1934, hinges at '.his time upon the ruling of the attorney ney general, whose opinion as to the provisions of senate bill S56, en acted by the recent legislature to provide the special election, has been asked by the secretary of state. Yesterday tho secretary of state receipted for the repeal petitions and accepted them upon the con dition that tlie election act made proper provision for initiative mea sures. Technical deficiencies In the elec tion act, due to careless amending during the rush hour of the cir-sing night of the legislative- session, have caused the question to be raised as to whether or not initiative meas ures may be submitted at that time. In the original house bill tail ing for the special election the date was set for June 6. When it got over to the senate the revision of laws committee, in order to give legal the voters to invoke t)ie ref erendum upon measures enacted by the legislature, advanced the date to July 21. At the same time the committee voted to revise the bill, or rather to substitute the redrawn Bynon bill, senate bill 360, to provide that initiative measures also might be submitted. To this end they amended the title of the Bynon bill to specifically provide for the in- INVESTORS IN' SECURITIES TO BE PROTECTED (Copjrifht, 1933. by United Prcu) Washington, March 21 (LP) Ad ministration advisors are rushing work on a securities control bill to protect the Investing public against blue sky ' stocks and bonds. As soon as the details are com pleted, possibly next week. Presl dent Roosevelt will send a message to congress asking immediate pas sage. This federal protective measure will cover both foreign and domes tic securities. It is expected to 1 Require full publication of the names of promoters, the amount of their bonuses and commission, and the full extent of their flnuncial interests. 2 Forbid any concealment by promoters of material facts or cir cumstances surrounding llw secur ltles ortercd. 3 Place responsibility . for full disclosure of the facts upon the promoters. 4 Require refunds with Interest or cancellation of contracts where misrepresentation Is disclosed, with out requiring fraud to be proved. o Make those Issuing false or misleading Information liable to criminal prosecution for obtaining money under false pretense and likewise liable under conspiracy statutes. The draft Is being perfected for the president by Huston Thompson, former chairman of the federal trade commission. In that capacity he gained intimate knowledge of the methdds used by unscrupulous stock ana bond promoters. Daniel Roper, secretary of com merce, and some of his assistants have been associated with Thomp son in working out the proposal. The president's advisors are draw ing inspiration from drastic feat ures of the British companies act of 1929. However, they will go much further, including foreign se curities which are nto covered by tne British act. Under this act a British peer, Lord Kylsant, one of the leading shipping men of the empire, was sent to prison on charg es of misrepresentation to investors in ins company. The purpose of tills measure Is to save American investors from a repetition of the losses, running probably into billions which they suffered through worthless foreign Donas ana pyramided stocks. It would not be retroactive so as to reach those Involved In Insull. Krueger or numerous worthless for eign Issues. But It would reoch a future case like the flotation some years ago of an issue of Peruvian bonds by a banking house whose own experts had warned that default on the issue was almost certain. It would also reach a future case like that of the bank which after discovering that its Cuban sugar loans were bad, floated a stock is sue to the public and from the proceeds balled itself out. LEGION PLANS MOBILIZING IN EMERGENCIES Organization of a strictly emerg ency committee whereby every member of nearly 1000 members of the American Legion can be con tacted and rushed to meet any civic emergency was authorized Monday night at a meeting of Capital Post No. 9. Commander Allan Carson will appoint a committee of five to work out the details. The proposed plan provides for the selection of a chairman in each precinct, who will have the tele phone numbers or street address of every member of the American Legion In his district. In event of any emergency of any nature the precinct chairmen would be notified in a lew minutes and within a com paratively short time, hundreds of ex-service men would be available. Attention to the plan was directed particularly at this time as a result of the community service rendered by the American Legion In the uauiornia earthquake area. The men would be available for nnv similar disaster, such as fire, flood, uprisings, penitentiary breaks, etc. The projejet has the approval of ponce onicers. "The American Legion is facing the greatest crisis In its history and there never has been a time when membership is needed as at present," Carl Moscr, state depart ment adjutant, told the post. "Pour teen years of efforts on the imrt. of the American Legion have been erased by congress which has denied veterans and their dependants the rights they enjoy." Moser told the post that no Information had been received from national head quarters relative to the nurnortcd statement in the press from Na tional uommancler Johnson, in which he requested posts to en dorse, through resolution, the mo- grnm presented by President Roose velt. Installation of Klngwood post at West Salem, March 31, will call a large delegation from Salem, with the drum corps to make a formal appearance. The post also went on record as approving the stand taken in congress by U. 8. Senator Fred crick Stelwer and Congressman James Mott relative to veterans' affairs. Continuation Of Plans for Fair From Page One confine premiums on what Is be ing urged as the best Investment. This would make room for the many new items always comina out, and thus will not let the prem ium list get too long. He added that payment of livestock premiums to out of state exhibitors with ani mals not applicable to Oregon would be eliminated If his plan Is ap proved. Canby Free of Debt Celebration Held Canby, March 21 (A1) Financial independence was declared In Canby yesterday. Flags waved, bunting floated on the breeze and crowds cheered as Mayor H. A. Dedman and City Treasurer John Eld burned the last municipal bond. More than 600 persons from outlying communities participated In the celebration. In a letter to the city Governor Meier eulogized Canby for having paid all bonds before maturity. UTILITY'S ANSWER PLEADS BANKRUPTCY Motion has been filed bv attor. ncys for the Central Public Service corporation in the case brought against it by Sarah M. Hewitt In which It asks a stay of DroceedinM on the ground that the corporation was adjudicated a bankrupt on March 8. 1933. The affidavit filed by Clarence J. Young, attorney for the company, says It will probably un m unys irom tnac date before a trustee in bankruptcy mav be an- polntcd for the corporation and that the attitude of the trustee concern ing continuing the defense of the case cannot be ascertained until he is named. The affidavit also states that the greater part of the evidence for the defense will be in deposi tions which have to be taken in Chicago and there has not been time to secure them. In an answer affidavit Isham ft. Smith, attorney for Mrs. Hewitt, asks that a trial date be set which will give the defendants time to Dre- pare their defense. He says in his affidavit the case is brought for re cession of ontract relative to pur chase of stock and for damages In consequence, that the basis of suit is fraud by the defendant in induc ing the contract.

Don't Let It Run Beyond the First Stage!, A cold ordinarily goes through three stages: the Dry Stage, the first 34 hours; the Watery Secre tion Stage, from 1 to 3 days; and the Mucous Secretion Stage. To let a cold run beyond the first stage Is inviting danger. Orovc's Laxative Bromo Quinine taken at the first sign of a cold will usually stop It in one day.

(IB Too many coy otes and not enough hunters spelled defeat of a movement here among residents to round-up the prairie pests for a general killing.
