OREGON'S DRAB
LICENSE PLATE
NOT EXPENSIVE
If you think the 1937 Oregon auto
licenses are too plain and ordinary,
don't blame the secretary of state.
States that- issue orange-and-black
and green-and-maroon plates
designed In odd shapes or decorat
ed with the state's principal pro
ducts get a big kickback from mo
torists whose cars' color schemes
clash with the bizarre effect.
It would cost an extra 11200 to
put out a license with a blue back
ground Instead of an aluminum one.
Costs of enamels vary widely.
The Oregon license's weight
crowds within a few grams of the
pound mark. If another coat of
paint were added or any Increase
made In the size it would cost the
state thousands of dollars more to
mall them.
New 1037 licenses received here
from other states show many un
usual effects next year. Unique Is
Arizona, where the license carries
no numbers only letters such as
AS-HD. Wyoming sports a cowboy
on a bucking horse between the two
series of numbers, and Louisiana
has a pelican in the same spot.
Pennsylvania and Tennessee make
their licenses in an outline of their
suites. Alabama and Oklahoma li
censes in addition to the numbers
and other Inscription, tell which
place is "front" and "rear." Con
necticut, Michigan, Indiana, Dela
ware, Maine, North Dakota and
Ohio vary the size of the license
with the size of the number. Maine's
has "vacationland" under the num
ber. Oregon's sister states on the coast
will also reverse their 1836 plates
for 1937. Washington will put white
numbers on a blue background. Cal
ifornia will have orange numbers
on a black background.

RAILROAD BILLS
HELD UNSOUND
BY CHAMBER
Washington, Nov. 21 (U.B The
TTnftoH RtatM rhnmher of com
merce, asserting its "duty of oppos
ing proposals oi an unsounu or un
economic nature," today clashed
openly with labor for the first time
since the election. The split was
over the proposed railroad legisla
tion. The chamber's committee on
transportation and communication
reported to the board of directors
that labor benefit measures, now
vigorously supported by workers'
fapllnnc "wmilH Arid some S900.000.-
000 to the annual cost of railroad
opera Hon."
Specifically, the committee saia,
,v,a nmivwMl iiv hnur duv bill
would cost the carriers $600,000,000
each year; full crew em. iiuu.ouo,
000; train-length limit bill, $200,-
000.000.
"The total would exceed the
greatest pre-depression net income
of the railroads," the report said.
"Several other proposals would fur
ther Increase operating costs.
"Railroad labor claims that the
six hour day is needed primarily to
Increase employment. Railroad
management holds that It would
have little If any effect on employ
ment but would mainly increase
wages of existing employes."
The board of the chamber at the
same time issued a statement of Its
policies, asserting:
"The government of the United
Dfaio, as pnwmnumL is entitled
to the support and cooperation of
its cltlzensnip. mat ruie is uni
vamal Thm mvernment also is en
titled to the expression of honest
criticism, based upon iacis ana -perlence,
regarding any step that
It may propose.
"Business, too, has the right to
expect cooperation from the. gov
ernment. "The chamber also has the duty
of opposing proposals of an un
sound and economic nature from
whatever source they may arise."

RAW PRODUCTS
MANUFACTURE
OREGON'S NEED
Portland, Ore, Nov. 21 (U.B Until
Oregon manufactures more of its
raw products into the things people
use and need, it will continue to be
"short-changed," economically
speaking, whenever there Is a per
iod of price depression.
This Is the outstanding conclu
sion drawn In the latest report of
the Oregon state planning board,
entitled "Price trends of Oregon
products compared with those of
commodities purchased from out
side the state." The report, made
public Saturday by Ormond R.
Bean, board crrairman, is the re
sult of extensive research by J. C.
Rettle, supervisor of research for
the board, and James E. Maxwell,
board economist.
For the purposes of figuring the
writers of the report worked out a
system of "barter terms of trade
index." This clearly shows that in
periods of price depression espe
cially, the products of this state
"purchase" less of the goods which
the state of necessity must buy from
other sections of the country.
An urgent and outstanding need
of the state is the development of
manufacturing plants and indus
tries that will utilize Oregon raw
products, the report shows.
"Agriculture and lumbering con
stitute the backbone of the economy
of the state, and both belong to that
category of business enterprise
which has almost no control over
its output," the report says. "Their
price structures respond to the
forces of supply and demand, to the
influence of expanding or contract
ing credit, to the degree of effec
tive purchasing power possessed by
the masses of consumers in the
great Industrial regions, and to the
fluctuations of exchange rates or
tariff schedules.
"On the other hand, the price
structure of capital goods and oth
er manufactured articles which
Oregon imports to a large extent
does not automatically adjust it
self to the fluctuating price level of
the primary materials. The com
petitive forces of the free market
operates only to a limited extent
in bringing down the price level of
the finished manufacturer-"

TWO COLLEGE
YOUTHS HURT
BY EXPLOSION
Corvallis, Nov. 31 (jP) Two Ore
gon State college students were in
jured and two buildings damaged
last night by explosions at the an
nual homecoming celebration.
Gunpowder aboard the Kappa
Delta Rho float in the noise-parade
was accidentally touched off by a
wayward spark, Faye Stewart, co-ed
from Cottage Grove, and Ernest
Wagner of Doreno, were painfully
but not seriously burned.
The second explosion came when
the giant freshman bonfire, a color
ful event on the eve of Oregon
State's football battle with the Unl
versity of Oregon, was set with a
roar. The blast, caused by gas
forming from oil, poured on the 60
foot pile of wood and rubbish, shat
tered windows at the armory and
Waldo Hall.
Parade prizes went to Kappa Delta
Rho, first for originality, and Beta
Theta Pi, second. Beta Theta Pi was
first for noise and Delta Chi, second.
Elaborate house signs welcomed
graduates returning for the home
coming ceremonies and the "civil
war" grid contest.
In the sign competition Theta
Chi placed first among the frater
nities and Kappa Kappa Gamma
first for the sororities.

the Oerman military publication

The newspaper's article said most
American tank equipment would not
stand the test of war.
"The relative value of American
tanks and those of European make
It a matter of opinion," one high
army orflcer said. "The light, high
speed tank developed by our own
ordnance department and now
standard equipment for the army Is
eminently satisfactory to the gen
eral staff because these machines
will do what they ara Intended to
do."
This spokesman characterized the
Oerman article as full of inaccura

ot any "Cunningham" make of tank,
to which the article referred.
The army's own developed fight

for the American military estab

which can travel across country at
speeds exceeding 40 miles per hour,
is armed with three high calibre

Fourteen men and a foreman have
been working on the Park building.
Like the packing factory which
boasted that it utilized all parts
of the pig except the squeal, Su
pervisor Ross declares about the
only waste material in the huge
frame structure will be the cut nails.
He has even received an order for
a thousand shingles from the roof
If they can be salvaged without too
much damage. On top of that he
has disposed of 10,000 lath which
have been carefully removed from
the walls. Plumbing fixtures have
been carefully removed and will be
used in the playground restrooms.
Plaster from the walls, ideal for
breaking up clay soil, is being cart
ed away and placed on school land.
With the wrecking Job hardly under
way Ross has disposed of $285.85
worth of salvage material. The
huge dimension timbers and the
siding have not been touched.
Ross expects to have the old Park
building demolished late In Janu
ary. And while the wrecking of
Lincoln grade school has not been
authorized, it Is probable it will be
attacked early In February.
Just what disposition will be made
of the plot of ground upon which
the Park building has stood since
1891 has not been determined. The
school board asked for bids for the
land, but none was satisfactory and
all were rejected.
Erection of Park building was au
thorized early in 1891 by the board
of directors which consisted of A. E.
Strang, E. M. Wait and F. R.
Smith. The land was purchased
from Joseph H. Albert while bonds
totaling $22,000 were sold, the mon
ey being used In the construction
of the Park and Lincoln buildings.
All of the rooms In the Park build
ing were not finished at the time
of construction, but were completed
as the growth of the city made their
use necessary.
At the time Park building was
constructed, principals In the dis
trict were being paid $110 a month;
Instructors received from $45 to $60.

was more than $100,000 in excess of
the amount the commission had
available for construction, $2,018,
169.63. By deducting certain alter
nate work from the Hammond bid,
it was brought within the available
funds, a total of $134,511 being slic
ed off the original bid.
The commission asked the archi
tects, however, to study the alter
nate work deducted and determine
what might be restored and still
keep expenditures within available
funds.
Ross B. Hammond, head of the
company, said work probably will
start within two weeks. On Monday,
he will sign a contract with the
commission, post his bond and start
wheels turning toward actual con
struction, excavation work on the
capitol site already having been
completed.
He estimated that Oregon citi
zens would have their first glimpse
of the completed capitol about 18
months hence.
Although the general contract was
awarded to Hammond, a number of
ether firms will engage In the con
struction work as sub-bidders, their
Jobs being let out to them by the
general contractor. The commission
approved the list of sub-bidders sub
milted by Hammond.
In accepting the bid on marble
work, the commission threw out
other bids on sandstone, granite
and limestone exteriors, holding to
its original preference for classic
marble.
Ranking next to Hammond in the
bidding was another Portland firm,
L. H. Hoffman Construction Co.,
which bid $2,161,300 for marble con
struction, the Hammond bid being
$20,652 less. Other firms in Tacoma,
Chicago, Minneapolis and New York
submitted bids.
, In selecting Hammond, the com
mission chose the contractor of such
structures as Multomah stadium.
the Bedell, Pacific and Federal
buildings in Portland, the state of
flee building in Salem and various
units on the campii of the Unl
vertty of Oregon and Oregon State
college.
Specifically, the construction of
the exterior will be "white Vermont
marble," considered among the fin
est stone in the world.
The acceptance of the bid on the
part ot the commission was unani
mous, the motion being made by
Commissioner T. H. Banfield, Port
land. Dr. Ernest C. Dalton second
ed it.
Under its rules, the commission
can, within 60 days, restore any of
the alternate work rejected today.
It was Indicated, however, that It
will permanently eliminate a $43,000
expenditure tor an electric voting
machine for the legislature.
Also eliminated were bronze win
dow frames and casings In favor of
iron but the commission desires
bronze if the funds can be made
available and it was expected this
would be accomplished.
In the discussion of alternate
work, Dr. H. H. Olinger argued for
restoration of some of it.
"It Is like buying your wife a fine
sealskin coat and then getting some
cotton socks and cotton 'shimmy' to
go under the coat," he remarked,
while the large audience attending
the final ceremonies of getting Ore
gon's capitol underway smiled.
"I don't think old man Oregon
is the kind of a fellow who wants
to do that," the doctor continued.
"We are going to have a fine build
ing so we ought to complete it in
fine shape all the way."
The discussion was left at that
point for settlement In the future.
Turning to the question of art
work, the commission decided to
send R W. Sawyer, Bend publisher,
and Mrs. Gordon Voorbies east to
interview artists recommended and
get their opinions about designs
which would be harmonious with
the construction planned.
The Hammond firm's bids, with
18 alternates Included: Marble $2,
140,648; sandstone I2.J36.970; gran
ite $2,079,587; limestone $2,014,986.
Amount available as announced
by C. C. Hockley, state PWA direct
or, was $2,017,970. The WPA has
made a grant of 95 per cent for the
construction.
Although the lowest bid did not
come under the set figure, deduc
tions of approximately $244,000 are
provided for in the alternates.
Other bidders in order of the
amount of their offer for the first
basic preference marble were:

NOT TO EXTEND
WATER MAINS
OUTSIDE TOWN
Acting on an opinion furnished
by City Attorney Paul R. Hendricks,
the city water commission decided
last night against furnishing water
to residents outside the city limits,
which means that no mains will be
extended outside the city, The
only exception will be for any resi
dents who are willing to purchaser
surplus water. '
A number of petitions, including
one fromnhe town of Turner, have
been received by the commission
asking extension of lines outside
the city. But the city attorney's
opinion Is that to extend them the
service on the same basis as given
to persons inside the city would be
unfair to those who pay city taxes.
"It would be unreasonable to
oblige the owners and citizens of
Salem to assume to carry a debt
load to construct water lines for
citizens and properties not bound
by any .city of Salem tax or debt,"
says the opinion.
The opinion continues to the ef
fect that after the city system has
been completed any surplus water
bond funds could be used to extend
outside the city for sale of surplus
water.
The commission unofficially ap
proved Manager Cuyler Van Pat
ten's plan for an open house at the
new reservoir when It Is completed.
This will be by the second week In
December It Is believed.
Van Patten was authorized to sell
to the city sewer department 30.000
square feet of reinforcing wire mMbh
for use on the D street drainage
project. The water department has
no use for the material, and Its
purchase by the city will save the
latter considerable money.
