HEALTH GROUP
OF POLK STAGE
QUARTER MEET
Monmouth Heading an Intensive
effort toward activities to promote
health education ana preservation
of health, the Polk County Health
association held the winter meeting
of Its quarterly sessions in Mon
mouth Monday night.
In spite of Inclement weather
neighboring communities were well
represented. Mrs. A. E. Utlcy pre
sided and two vocal solos by Miss
Barbara Nelson, assisted at the pi
ano by Miss Wethenv opened the
meeting. Speakers were Or. F. R.
Bowersox of Monmouth, G. Knott of
Independence, Dr. A. B Starbuck of
Dallas and Miss Margaret Qtllis,
county nurse.
Dr. Starbuck suggested a county
wide campaign Immunization of
school children for Diphtheria and
smallpox. With a possibility of the
school boards flnancuic. the vaccine
and the parents meeting the nomi
nal! fee of the attenaing physician
he thought the plan feasible.
In order to develop a better un
derstanding of the need for more
adequate facilities In the county to
meet outside emergency cases which
come under advisement of the coun
ty's medical corp, Dr Knott told
of his failure last fall to secure aid
In this county for a badly Injured
boy, which Involved broken bones,
The boy, a member of a family
which, minus the relief to Induce
them to secure employment, had
come to the hop yards, from Mult'
comah county.
In lieu of A fund to meet an Issue
of this nature Dr. Knott intimated
It might be well for the association
to consider the establishment of an
emergency fund. The association
having obtained its first objective
the service of a full time county
nurse will next consider the devel
opment of the emergency fund and
the service of a full time health
officer whose duty would Involve
the disposal of similar cases as cited
by Dr. Knott. The service of a coun
ty health officer would also relieve
Dr. Starbuck who has acted in this
capacity for several years without
any remuneration; the twenty-five
dollars per month allowed by the
county court for this service, has
been turned over by the doctor to a
secretary who issues certificates for
death, burial, birth and matters of
a like nature.
Miss Glllis outlined' briefly statis
tics of her work and expressed a de
sire for the establishment of day
nurseries in the various hop yards.
Mrs. W. E. Norrls, chairman of the
Christmas seal sale, was unable to
give a complete account of the sale
as reports from various clubs and
schools were lacking, but she esti
mated the quota striven for. five
cents per capita, woulo be slightly
less.

president, Dr G. Knott,, vice-president
and P. O. Powell, secretary

would be a substantial surplus

President Roosevelt, who vetoed
the patman inflationary bonus bill

attitude on the present drive for
Immediate payment. He declined
again to comment at a press con

tion of the working of the federal
farm loan system by A. A. Rogers,

BALK AT PAYING
HUFFAKERS100
SURVEY COSTS
Just why the Salem school district
should pay Dr. C. L. Huf faker, mem
ber of the staff of the University of
Oregon, $100 for his services in con
nection with the Salem public school
building program was Information
sought by Percy Cuppei, member of
the board during a session of the
directors last night. Cupper took the
position that since Dr. Huffaker was
already on the public payroll, it was
somewhat unethical for him to
charge a fee for work performed on
university time. Cupper was backed
up In his argument by Director
Bradfield who said that Huffaker
was drawing pay from two tax pay
ing bodies at the same time.
Chairman Walter Mlnier and Di
rectors Wright and Neer felt that
Huffaker's claim was a legitimate
one and should be paid. Minler
pointed out that Huffaker, who had
previously made an educational sur
vey In the city, was able to make a
saving of $30,000 hi die cost of the
proposed high school building. While
the bill was not ordered paid, It Is
expected a majority of the directors
will ultimately vote its authorization.
Henry Fem's bid uf $3.38 a cord

to be delivered at the various school
buildings . during the summer, was
accepted by the board Fern will de
liver at least 300 cords with a pos
sibility that the boaid may secure
160 additional units from the same
source. The balance of the total re
quirement of 800 cords will be pro
vided by Roy Stevens at a cost of
$3.43 per unit.
ligations. This figure, other sena
tors said, includes $5,800,000,000 of
refunding which would not be add
ed to the public debt.
The democratic authority who
indicated presidential approval of
the bill contended the $11,300,000,000
figure was far from alarming. He
argued that for the time being the
bonds would cost nowhere near the
$2,000,000,000 mentioned In some
other sources, and that economic
conditions were improving so rap
idly that paying part of the ad-
Justed service certificates now
would have little or no disturbing
Influence on the money markets.
The new bill bears the names of
Senators Harrison (D., Miss.),
Byrnes (D., 8.-0.),. Stelwer (R.
Ore.) and Clark (D., Mo.) and pro.
vldes for full payment of the bonus
certificates beginning next June la
Under present law payment Is not
due until 1945.
Aflur usual low
business meeting at the Salem
Tuesday afternoon, elected di
for Cooperatives and the Production
Credit associations have been add
ed. The purpose of these agencies Is
to provide first mortgage credit at
the lowest possible cost. The money
loaned through the farm credit ad
ministration is in no way taken from
the government treasury but Is bor
rowed by the farmers own agencies
on bonds and short term notes from
private investors. The Individual
farmer could never expect such fa
vorable credit or such low Interest
charges were It not for the pooling
of credit or the cooperative working
of the different branches of the
farm credit system.
Due to a more favorable market
for land bank bonds which provide
funds for closing new loans, three
Interest reductions - were passed
along during the past year in
normal way, bringing the present
rate on new 20 to 34 year loans
down to 4 per cent. This Is the low
est rate at which loans have been
available In the 18 years of the
operation of the land bank system.
The annual report of Wlllard S.
Bartlett, secretary-treasurer of the
Marlon-Polk National Farm Loan
association, shows that this associa
tion, one of four groups havinit
headquarters In Marlon and Polk
counties, has In force 208 loans in a
total sum of $1,073,550.

CITY INCREASE
Announcement was made today
by R. W. Lemen, president of Ore
gon Motor Stages, operating the Sa
lem city busses, that effective Janu
ary 16 the sale of tokens in quanti
ties of 10 for 50 cents will be with
drawn and thereafter tokens will be
sold four for 25 cents. The 5 cent
fare will still be available in single
cash fare to children 5 years and
under 12 years of age. No other
change in fares or transfer privileg
es will be made.
We have reached a point," said
Mr. Lemen, "where our oparatlng
cost has begun to exceed the reve
nue due to the general tendency to
ward higher prices in all commodi
ties. On January, 1936, we granted
our employes an 11 per cent In
crease In wages to better prepare
them to meet their increased cost of
living. Unemployment Insurance and
social security provisions, Imposing
a payroll tax on employers, are rur
ther examples of Increased operat
ing costs.
"We are glad to have been able
to give our patrons the benefit of a
5 cent fare during the difficult lie-
pressed times. We feel sure that our
present action In withdrawing the 6
cent adult fare will be received with
understanding and that we. will con
tlnue to merit the splendid support
of the people of Salem which has
made possible our maintenance of a
complete and efficient transporta.
tion system for the city."

no other choice Is left for us than
to leave the conference."
The statement also declared the
Japanese have not the slightest de
sire to embark on a naval race, and
will "promote the cause of world
peace by assiduously cultivating the
best friendly relations with other
nations."
Nagano's. statement ocntlnued:
"In view of the present state of
remarkable developments In war
ships, aircraft and other weapons of
war, existing naval treaties which
not only admit disparity of naval
strengths among powers but also
permit retention of offensive arips
no longer can afford us security for
national defense."
Washington, Jan. 16 Wi The Uni
ted States refused at London today
to discuss Japanese demands for
equality in naval strength.
The text of the address by Nor
man Davis, American delegate, to
the naval conference was released
at the state department here.
He set forth the United Stales
government's conviction that the
"principle of a common upper limit
would not serve as 4 basis for ne
gotiation and agreement."
This principle has been insisted
upon by the Japanese delegation as
the basis of any discussion for a
new naval treaty.
"The United States Is unable to
accept the principle of the common
upper limit as the basis for an ag
reement," Davis added.
"While we would deeply regret the
Inability to arrive at an agreement
acceptable to all the powers here
represented, our decision and pur
pose would be to prumote the con
tinuance of our friendly relations
with all the naval powers."
Tokyo, Jan. 15 (P) An authorita
tive source said today high officials
of the navy office and foreign of
fice drafted at a conference the text
of a note by which the Japanese
delegation would announce its with
drawal from the London naval con
ference.
The note was telegraphed to Ad
miral Osami Nagano, chief Japanese
delegate, and was expected to be de
ivered to Viscount Nonsell, first lord
of the British admiralty, Friday, al
though a decision as to the time
and manner of the presentation was
left to the discretion of the dele
gates.
After delivery of the note, it was
understood, the text will be pub
lished in Tokyo, together with state
ments by one or more members of
the cabinet, setting forth Japan's
Justification for quitting the con
ference, seeking an agreement to
replace the expiring Washington
and London naval limitations
treaties.
BAR ASKS REHEARING
OF POYNTZ DECISION
The state board of bar examiners
asked the supreme court today to be
allowed until Feb. 10 to file a peti
tion for rehearing In the case in
which the court recently admitted
Dr. L. K. Poyntz, Portland physi
cian and surgeon, to the practice of
law in Oregon,
The bar examiners opposed Dr.
Poyntz' admission to the bar on the

ground that he was not of good
moral character, but the supreme
court overruled the board. The
board said It had employed R. R.
Bullivant, Portland attorney, to write
its petition for rehearing, but that
he would be unable to file It by
Jan. 20, present deadline.
