SEEK TO OUST
HENRY HANZEN
Organized revolt of a legislative
bloc against leadership of Governor
Julius L. Meier appeared imminent
today.
Introduction of an "economy" bill
by Senator W. K. Burke of Yam
hill county was tne iirst inaicauon
that relations between the execu
tive and legislative departments of
Oregon's government might not be
as harmonious as administration
spokesmen claimed.
The bin woiud aooush tne omce
of state budget director, held by
Henry Hanzen, Meier's closest poli
tical adviser. It would reduce the
salary of the state purchasing
agent, William Elnzlg, another
Meier protege, to $3,600 per year.
Duties of the budget director would
be transferred to the state board
of control.
Elimination of the budget depart
ment would save (6,000, the direc
tor's salary, as well as pay of as
sistants and clerks. Einzig received
$7,000 a year before being hit by
the 1933 salary reduction bill.

SHY OF FUNDS
New Orleans, Nov, 21 (IP) Chair
man Tom Connally of the United

tigating the Huey P. Long political
regime in Louisiana, announced at
resumption of hearings today that
the committee's funds were so low
it could not complete the scheduled
work.
There was an original appropria
tion of $25,000, but not enough re
mains to finish the two weeks hear
ings mapped out, the Texas senator
said. He added he hoped that con
gress would appropriate enough
money to take care of the deficit.
Reflecting the situation, the com
mittee was concerned today over
failure of witnesses to respond to
summons. It was Indicated that
deputy U. S. marshals might be sent
to arrest them.
Today's first witness was Arthur
Cambas, defeated candidate for the
board of education on the ticket of
Edwin S. Broussard, senatorial can
didate who in turn was defeated by
Jonn H. Overton, Long-backed can
didate for the senate. Anti-Long

Washington, Nov. 21 UP) The Na'

cent increase in lumber production
in the United States for 1933 over

ASKS $31 MILLIONS
FOR POWER LINES
Bonneville power became a legis
lative issue today when Representa
tive John Lewis of Multnomah' coun
ty introduced a bill proposing a
$31,000,000 bond issue to finance
state-owned lines to the dam.
The measure proposes creation of
a state power commission, appointed
by the governor, to supervise distri
bution of Bonneville electricity. The
commission would have authority to
fix rates based on cost of service.
Bonds should be used as security
for a federal loan of $31,000,000, to
be obtained on basis of 30 percent
grant and 70 percent loan.
- The proposal would kill the refer
ended grange power bill. It the state
failed to obtain the federal loan, the
commission could Issus $50,000 bonds
to cover preliminary costs and pre
pare a statewide development plan
lor submission to the voters.

CLEANING 00T
OF OLD DUMP
AS RELIEF JOB
Cleaning out the old city dump
adjacent to and now part of the
state fairgrounds property and
opening a proper road into the
grounds from the south on 18th or
19th streets, is a project advanced
before the county relief committee
for civic works financing. This is
one of a number of improvements
sought by Max Gehlhar. director of
agriculture and head of tne fair.
The city dump was deeded to the
state fair several years ago with a
plan in view of cleaning it up and
making It a vast parking place,
with an entrance through on nth
street and proper landscaping for
the grounds. It has remained one
of the worst eyesores of the city.
"It is within the corporate limits
of the city of Salem and is without
doubt the most unsightly piece of
property within the city limits and
located where it may be viewed by
over 100,000 visitors to the state
fair," writes Gehlhar to the relief
committee in his plea for the im
provements at the fair.
In addition he asks for other Im
provements as follows: Opening and
cleaning approximately 1M miles of
drainage ditches; spading and put
ting into shape over two acres of
additional lawn; grubbing out part
of oak trees in park; repairing and
levelling dirt floors in barns; im
proving and repairing sewage and
drainage system In fair grounds;
repairing exposed wiring in agri
cultural building; new wiring In
automobile building; shingling sev
eral buildings; painting exterior of
some buildings, and interior re
arrangement of exhibit buildings.
The state fair, he states, wlU
lurnisn all building materials re
quired and every dollar of civic
works money will be expended for
labor on any or all of these Jobs.
MOSES TO DISCUSS
COUNTY FINANCES
Judge Moses, head of the legis
lative committee of the state Coun
ty Judges and Commissioners as
sociation, was expected in Salem
this afternoon to confer with coun
ty Commissioner Smith, also a
member of the committee, on pro
posed legislation In which the coun
ties are Interested.
In particular Judge Moses has
caused to be prepared a complete
chart showing the financial situa
tion of the counties and the state as
to the old age pension law and Its
iinancing.
It Is expected the legislature will
be asked to perfect some method of
financing the old age pension law
u it is to remain on the statute
books. The principal reason the
counties have refused to budget the
item for old age pension. It is
pointed out, Is because the legis
lature failed to provide any machin
ery or method for paying the pen
sions. M'KAY HELPS OLSON

KiWANIS HEARS
GOSS DISCUSS
LIQUOR PROBLEM
The first thing the Oregon anil
other legislatures should do In con
sideration of liquor control Is the)
eradication of the bootlegger and
racketeer during the next few year
in order to clear the deck tor mora
constructive legislation along this
line, Senator John Goss, of Coot
county, told the Kiwanls club Tues
day noon. Law itself cannot sup
press bootlegging as long as this
provides inornate profits, he said.
Drinking habits cannot be chang
ed by law as suggested by the Knox:
report which seeks to make this a
country of wine and beer drinking.
These habits, he said, are national
and developed from youth. Tha
greatest curse of prohibition was
held to be the breeding of disre
spect for all law and order in gen
eral.
The liquor question is a poison
ous one, whether contact is by
taste, socially or legislatively with
two groups seeking to influence the
Oregon legislation. One of these.
Senator Goss said, Is composed of
those personally interested in the
retail sale of liquor and the other,
described as more sinister, those
seeking to control liquor through
purchase at its source. While both
sides profess to be on the side of
law and order they have selfish.
motives with the utter working
through paid agents.
Contact with legislatures in manv
states since he was in college haa
convinced mm that the conduct of
legislators, both inside and outside
the legislative halls, is of a hlghec
standard than thRt of years ago.
ASKS FOR FUNDS
Portland, Nov. 21 W Tentative
plans calling for a $1,500,000 expen
diture of public works money for
Portland's school system, putting
several thousand men to work, have
been agreed upon by directors of tha
school district here.
Of the money to be sought, 30 per
cent would be an outright grant
and the rest would be borrowed.
. The money would be used to build
seven or eight grammar schools, and
for painting and repairing the othee
76 school buildings in District No. L
Before the plan can be undertak
en, however, the legislature must
approve a law allowing school dis
tricts to call special elections Instead
of limiting them to one general
election each year. This matter, It
was said, probably will come before
the current special session.
Voters of the district would then
be asked to approve a $1,000,000
bond issue "to help Portland do Us
part for recovery."
For repair of the buildings now
in use, about $2800 will be spent
for carpenter work, and about $35,
000 for painting, it was said,
