would rule on the matter of dissolv

next Wednesday.
With the statement, "I believe you
gentlemen speaking to the opposing
counsel misunderstood each other,"
Judge LewelUng announced he
would study the additional citations
added to the briefs during oral ar
gument today and prepare his de
cision. The Marlon County Taxpayers'
league, represented by President
Henry Zorn, Ed Jory, Willard Stev
ens and Martin Rostvold, during the
week had obtained a temporary re
straining order against destruction
of the walls of the burned building.
contending it was the duty of the
state legislature and not the board
of control to proceed with the raz
ing.
Plaintiffs in the suit, repeating
much of the argument used in ob
taining a temporary Injunction,
held the taxpayers would suffer Ir
reparable loss through Increased
taxation and depreciated value of
property and that the old law of
1903 outlining the duties of the ex
ecutive officers of the state did not
give them power to destroy property
which may be oi value.
members of the board of building
commissioners, did noi obtain an ap
nralsal of the loss by fire as requlr-
ed-r that destruction of the walls
would add an Increased expenditure
which the act restricted and that
the board would have no power to
build a new structure but must re
build.
Adding additional arguments to
the briefs submitted, tfc plaintiffs
held the 1903 act was unconstitu
tional In that it was an invasion of
the powers of the legislature by pro
viding the board power to appropri
ate money; that the laws of 1925
and 1929 setting up a restoration
fund repealed the former statute by
Implication, and that the procedure
of the board was Illegal under both
the old and new statutes.
Objecting to evidence submitted
by the defendants showing the walls
unfit for use In construction of a
new building, the plaintiffs con
tended "the walls have nothing to
do with this case." It was argued a
scientific test of the walls could not
be made within 30 days. Protests
against the evidence was based upon
their submission by architects at
the request of the governor and not
by the board of control, and that
architects were not qualified to de
termine the chemical status of the
walls.
"Tearing down the walls consti
tutes a step toward construction of
a new capitol, and only the legisla
ture would have the right to appro
priate money for new construction,"
complaining counsel continued.
"And the phase of protecting life
by tearing down the walls Is not
within the power of the board. The
safety of walls is vested In another
officer of the state (fire marshal)
and no report had been submitted
by him. That the wai's may be un
safe Is no concern of this court."
Deputy Attorney General Willis
Moore declared the arguments of
the plaintiffs had wandered from
the point of irreparable damage as
alleged in the complaint and naa
considered only governmental policy
He held no proof of damage had
been presented nor was the extent
of alleged additional tax shown. He
added further there was no act on
record showing the defendants had
intended constructing a new capitol
building.
Moore also questioned the right of
the plaintiffs to institute the action
against the state, contending the
ex rel state proceedings should
have been followed. He further held
the 1903 law was valid and had not
been repealed by Implication. The
power under the act to rebuild
would carry with It the power to
remove.
The Marlon County Taxpayers'
League was represented by Attor
neys George Rhoten, Roy Hewitt
and B. S. Martin.
In the meantime SERA workers
will continue the first of next week
with clearing out debris in the
building, but the walls will remain
untouched.

25,000TI1 CASE
FILED IN COURT
The 25.000th complaint to be
filed in the courts of Marlon county
came into the county clerk's office
this afternoon when Dwight Lear
as attorney for the plaintiffs filed
a damage action for nearly $17,000
for Pauline Davis against Pacific
Fruit and Produce company.
The action was for injuries al
leged sustained February 18 this
year In a collision at Union and
Winter streets when the plaintiff
avers she lost an unborn child and
also suffered various injuries about
the neck and head.
She asks for $16,000 in general
damages, $425 for medical services
and similar expense and $102.50 for
damage to her car. She named O. F.
Shepardson as driver of the truck
for the defendant produce com
pany.
It required 87 years to reach the
25,000 th complaint In the courts
here the first one having been
filed in 1848 as previously recounted.
This would make an average of 9
little less than a complaint a day
for every working day over the
period of 87 years. The actual aver
age now is from 700 to 00 com
plaints a year but In the early
times there were very few compara
tively filed over the period of a year.

The Shelton drainage ditch ex

lamette river is making a straight
cut through the municipal auto
park Instead of following the cir
cuitous channel of South Mill creek.
An SERA crew and a power shov
el have been at work In the park
for several days and a eut has al
ready been made nearly the length
of the grounds from the Winter
street bridge to the Church street
bridge. The canal, however, Is to
be 50 feet wide at the top and
great deal of excavation Is yet to
to be made. Dirt being removed for
the new channel is being used to
fill up the old one.
H. S. Polsal. superintendent oi tne
municipal park, believes that the al
teration will not mar the appear
ance of the park If It Is properly
finished. On the other hand, he
says, the filling of the old channel
will give a fine opportunity for
small city park along Bellevue street
and entered by Cottage street. On
the filled In ground stand many
large maple, cottonwood and aider
trees and the spot will be unexcelled
for a picnic ground, something that
is now lacking In Salem, inasmuch
as lunching is not permitted in

a session which extended until near

Supervisor Prank B. Wire advocat
ed insuring the property. "We have
had three fires at hatcheries in the
past year," he said. "In a single fire
at a big hatchery we might lose
$12,000 to $15,000, and it wouldn't
cost that much for premiums on all
our hatcheries."
The commission formally endors
ed creation of the 65 ,000 -acre Mai
heur-Blitzen bird refuge by the fed
eral government.
A cooperative study proposed by
the U. S. biological survey and Ore
gon State college was brought be
fore the commission. The project
would carry on research work and

YOUTHS RETURN
FROM FAR EAST
A journey of more than 14,000
miles begun last February was com
pleted late Friday by Jimmy Nichol
son and Doug. Drager, Salem high
school students, when the two boys
returned to their homes after visit
ing many of the larger parts of the
Orient. Prominent in high school
athletics and much sought after by
universities of the coast, the boys
said upon their return home that
they had not made up their minds
as to which school they would cast
their lot.
The journey to and from the Ori
ent was made aboard the S3. New
York, a freighter. Stops were made
at several Chinese and Japanese
ports as well as In the Philippines.
A wide variety of temperature was
encountered from the freezing wea
ther and snow storms of the North
Pacific to the other extreme in the
region of the equator. The New York
at the southernmost dip of Us trip
approached to within 150 miles of
the equator.
The ship entered the Columbia
river Friday morning and the boys
were released late In the afternoon.
Mothers' cooking after three
months of ship's fare, held a lure
which overshadowed all other ex
periences encountered during their
trip across the Pacific, Jim and
Doug declare.
not produced sufficient to furnish
the average American family with

aforesaid department. Our rate of
production at present without any

The program of crop reduction

ple thinking) the bricks naturally
would have to come down and new
mortar used hence new walls new
brick or old brick whichever would
be used.
It is plain to see that some of the
losers in the fall election are desir
ous of gaining public notice with
their yowling and Injunctions, save
the taxpayers money? Ficlli With
their radical ideas and "myopia,"
had they been elected, we would be
wallowing helplessly in a Sargasso
sea of impracticability.
You see, we women do some

To the Editor; The walls of the
state capitol at Salem, recently gut
ted by fire, are as firm and sound
today as when they were built, thus-
demonstrating that they are ab
solutely fireproof. Their architec
tural design compares very favor
ably with that of other state Capitols.
If In the construction of a new
building these walls could be util
ized as they stand, by modernizing
the Interior and the roof many
thousands of dollars and much time
could be saved.
Unnecessary haste in demolishing
this beautiful old structure may
prove costly.

Salem, May 7.
To the Editor: Some weeks ago
a news item appeared in the Salem
papers stating that I had been ap
pointed one of a committee on the
tomato and melon code authority
for the West Stayton district.
It is true that I did receive the
anointment, but I have not served
and do not intend to serve on that
committee. I am utterly opposed to
the program of reduction and de
struction of food supplies fostered
by the national agricultural adjust
ment act. also its counterpart In the
agricultural adjustment act In this
state.
Statistics published by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture show
that even In the so-called good
times of 1E29 we were under-producing
to a very large extent, food
commodities except a few Items with
a heavy content of starch. Other
food such as leafy green vegetables,
fruit, milk and milk products were
To the Editor: The governor said
that we who filed a suit to prevent
tearing down the walls of the capi
tol building are "kickers." We are
kickers who have Just started. In
one of our heels Is the law; In the
other, the recall, and there are
plenty of officials In this neck of
the woods that will be kept busy
dodging one or the other of our
heels.
When Senator Dickson suggested
using some of the highway funds in
building to save interest, the gover
nor said it was a' "crack-pot" sug
gestlon. When Senator Spauldlng
inquired it the walls could not be
saved and the cost lessened, the
governor stated that "any man with
an ounce of sense would know Dei-
ter than that." At Medford the
governor told the people to "quit
whining and go to work."
Has it. then, come to this, that we,
who pay taxes can have no say in
the amount of taxes or in the way
our money is spent? Is it that non-
est opinions In regard to public
matters and questions concerning
the public well being will be met
not by explanation or argument,
but bv Insult? One may pertinent
ly Inquire, "upon what meat doth
this our Caesar feed that ne
grown so great?"
It Is not surprising that the gov
ernor supported by we cussed fools
who oav taxes to give him a pen
slon of $6,000 a year and a salary
of $7,500 a year should inquire why
the people don't quit whining and
go to work. The fact Is, we have
quit whining. The governor will
hear no more of that, but he Is apt
to hear a lot of cussing from now
on.
Wi don't object to being robbed
by taxes because we have been rob
bed that way so long wo nave De
come used to It, but by the flea In-the-halr-on-the-tall-of-the-dog-of
-the-wlld-man-of-Bornco
we will be
totally damned If any man Is going
to persistently Insult us and get
away with it.

only what they would do for anybody.
We wondered too, Mr, Editor, you
having Just moved into s very dif
ferent new house and being proud
of It, it you couldn't see the reason
for changes In a new state house
from the old one, that we all loved
because it was always ours and our
fathers built it, to one that need
not be like that and every com
mon type capitol building In the
country, but rather one foreseeing
the needs of the next 60 years Just
like the old one was planned about
that long ago.
All us neighbors had seen in Joy
Bluburg's geographic picture of the
University of Pittsburg and we
thought what a fine thing it would
be to have the business of the state
ad Its future growth housed In a
single impressive tower-like office
building In the center of a beauti
ful park such as out present state
capitol grounds. With a proper
plan it could grow with the state's
demands. It would concentrate all
departments and speed the busi
ness of the state that with the sav
ing In rental from scattered depart
ments would go a long way toward
paying for Imposing architecture
and the cost of going up In the
air to make it so. Beside as com
pared to our old dome type of
building the impresslveness would
not be more ornament but useful
simplicity of building the differ
erence between a pousse oafe and
some hard corn liquor, If you gather
the Idea.
We Hultt folks don't favor a
mere oflfce building but an out
standing building of a new type
that may from necessity be built
piecemeal but when completed will
be a monument to the foresight of
the present generation just as the
old capitol and the Marlon county
courthouse have worked a far see
ing vision at the date of their
building a vision, by tne way a
tradition is correct, that had no
thanks until after years.

Leper colonies can never nave
enough bandages. Tear old sheets,
towels, and napkins Into strips 3 or
5 Inches wide, roll, and pin wltn
a safety pin; or send any white ma
terial except gauze, and the pa
