Shingle Drive
Under Way in
Washington
Washington. March 21 UPtA de
termined drive to revue provisions
of the Canadian trade agreement to
protect the Pacific northweat ahtn
gle Industry and to re-enact other
benefit expiring In June la under
way In Washington.
Latest developments came last
Thursday when Senator Bone of
Washington Introduced in behalf of
himself and Senator McNary of
Oregon bills to restore former im
port quotas on Canadian shingle
Imports and to require the marking
of foreign lumber with the point of
origin.
Bone also took occasion during a
lengthy speech on the floor to call
for the re-enactment of an excise
tax of 12 per thousand board feet
on general lumber Imports, which
will expire June 30.
The shingle measure by Bone and
McNary would limit Canadian shin
gle Imports to 25 per cent of the
annual consumption of the United
8 tales market. This quota existed
prior to negotiation of the Canadian
agreement, which permitted Imports
of 30 per cent, duty free, and fixed
no limit on amounts above that
level provided Canada paid duty at
the rate of 29 cents per square.
Bone told the senate the trade
treaty provisions 'indicated a seem
Ing determination to favor foreign
producers and foreign labor over
our own producer and our own la
bor."
The United States wage, he said,
was 60 per cent greater than the
Canadian average.
"The shingle industry was get
ting along fairly well under the 25
per cent quota," he said, "but the
new treaty provisions deal a severe
blow to the shingle Industry. It is
a serious question whether the
American shingle industry can sur
vive at all under the Impact of the
Canadian competition, and in that
event Canadian mills will serve vtr
tually 100 per cent of our market
within a tew years. So far as shin
gles are concerned, the agreement
of 1038 is not reciprocal at all."
Play Shed Rushed
Brush College The WPA project,
a 53 by 32 feet play shed at the
Brush College school, Is reported

Might Change Name
Of Old High Street
Recommendations came to the city council from the plan
ning and zoning commission relative to street names to re
move the confusion caused to mail carriers. It was recom
mended that A street, sometimes
called a part of North Commercial
be called North Liberty Instead. Also
It was recommended thst one of two
Grant streets in norheast Salem be
called Roosevelt street as originally
Intended.
More important was a recom
mendation that the High street be
eliminated entirely and that the
street be known throughout its
length as Broadway, Instead of only
that portion north of the Liberty
confluence. To this Alderman
O'Hara jbjected, suggesting It would
be better to re-name Liberty street
and call it Broadway, If the city is
determined to have a Broadway.
The entire matter of name changes
Davis Oilers
Plan lor Park
An extensive plan for Improve
ment of the old auto camp ground
was presented to the city council
last night by City Engineer J. H
Davis, and a special committee will
look into its feasibility.
Davis' remarks were supplement
ed by Chester Nelson, national
youth administration officer, now
using the administration bulldlrg
on the grounds, and by G. ft. Boat
writ? ht, resident engineer for the
WPA.
Davis suggested that, with WPA
funds already available, together
with an unused $2,500 In the
bandstand fund, the park be filled
In to normal flood level and be
surrounded with a stone wall whlcn
could be made part of the She! ton
ditch improvement.
Alderman David O'Hara objected
to use of the bandstand fund un
less It would be r.rranged by con
ference with the Cherrian band
officials. Inasmuch as the band
stand, removed by Inroads of the
new atatehouse. had been a dona
tion from the late Joseph H. Al
bert. O'Hara suggested the money
might be taken from the fire De
partment fund, but to this Fire
Chief Harry Hutton objected, ex
plaining that plans have been
drawn for a new fire station In
South Salem.
Mayor Chad wick appointed as a
special committee to look Into the
matter the chairmen of the street,
sewer, park and ways and means
committees and the chairman of
the rlty park board.
was referred to the street committee!
The council adopted the plan for
Turner road Improvement, agree'
on between the city and the county
court, whereby the county Improves
the road between 16th and 25th and
the city takes it over as a city atreet.
Instead of allowing a disputed 1150
to be paid by Lee U. Eyerly, who was
willing to sacrifice that amount to
get the street Improved, the city will
pay the amount.
The city will not attempt to
change the entrance of Riverside
drive into the city from Miller to
Owens street, as petitioned for by a
number of property owners, but In
stead will have tome of the hazard
removed at the Miller street en
trance. . .
This was the decision of the city
council last night when an adverse
report of the street committee was
adopt" at the same time Instruct
ing the city attorney to remove haz
ards at the Miller street turn Into
Salem.
Adoption of another resolution will
permit of the opening of 13th atreet
from Nebraska to D, thereby ex
tending 13th practically through the
north part of the city.
Another opening will be effected
by adoption of a resolution last
night, Introduced by Alderman Da
vid O'Hara and Ross Goodman to
open McCoy avenue between Madi
son and Erickson.
Installation of "slow" signs at the
Summer and Market Intersection
was approved. Applications of the
Indian service for exclusive parking
space on High street at the Oregon
building .and of the Postal Tele
graph Ac Cable company for parking
space on St te front of the Postal
office, were denied.
An extension of franchise was vot
ed to the Southern Pacific company
for use of Front and Division streets,
but for only 10 years Instead of the
20 requested by the company. Any
engineering work done on the streets
is to have the approval of the city
engineer.

Oregon Has
Little Need of
School Aid
Oregon, because Its school system
Is well-fixed financially compared
with other states, will not gain much
under the proposed W75.000.000 fed
eral five-year education program de
signed to help poorer states.
If congress passes the federal-aid
education bill, Oregon would receive
127,054 for the fiscal year beginning
next July 1, $219,458 for the follow
ing year, and 1300,662 for each of the
three following years.
During each of the last three years
of the program, 1120,000 would be
spent for general aid, 1125,637 for
adult education, $50,475 for rural lib
rary service, 130.000 for buildings.
$6750 for the state department of
public Instruction, $6000 for teacher
aid, and $21,800 for cooperative ed
ucational research and planning.
The legislature passed a bill to en
able Oregon to take advantage of the
federal money.
But the federal government says
that only the Dlstrlot of Columbia
and eight other states need federal
the courses, all of which carry col
lege and university credit, at the
first meetings of classes.

the southern states will get the most
help.

nancially are the District of Co
lumbia. Delaware. New York, Neva
da, California. New Jersey. Massa
chusetts. Connecticut, Rhode isiana
and Oregon, with Washington rank
ing 22nd.
Oregon spends about $B4 a year
to educate each school pupil, the
U. S. average being $80. But Oregon
pays Its teachers an average salary
of only $1200 a year while the U. 6.
average Is $1283. Arkansas teachers
get only $504 a year.
Oregon and Washington lead all
states with 30.2 per cent of their
school pupils in high school, the fed
eral average being 22.7 per cent
However, Oregon ic last In the list
of states contributing to support of
schools, since it leu the counties
pay 30.5 per cent and local districts
the rest of the $17,000,000 a year cost.
States on the average pay 29.4 per
cent of the cost, whereas Oregon
pays none.
