Court of Domestic Relations
For Marion County Is Argued
Arguments in favor of establishment of a court of domestic
relations in Marion county were made before two members of
a sub-committee of the ways and means committee Tuesday.
Speaker of the House John F. Steelhammer, who is author of
a bill providing for an additional judge, told the committee that
Inasmuch as cases involving
Old Marriage
Ban on Skids
The senate voted 21 to 7
Tuesday to Tepeal Oregon's 85-year-old
law which bans inter
racial marriages. The bill goes
to the house.
The law prohibits white per
sons from marrying Negroes, In
dians, Chinese or Hawaiians.
The repealer was asked by
Governor Douglas McKay's
council on Indian affairs, since
Indian leaders said the law dis
criminates against their race.
The law was passed in 1866.
It provides jail sentences of
three months to a year for per
sons entering such marriages.
Any person who issues a license
to such a couple or performs
such a marriage can get the same
penalty, plus a fine of $100 to
$1,000.
Opponents of the bill argued
isn't fair to the children of
mixed marriages to allow such
marriages to be performed.
But the sponsors contended
that marriage is a personal right,
subject to the laws of God, and
the state has no right to ban any
kind of marriage.
Sen. Philip Hitchock, Kla
math Falls, one of the sponsors,
said the present law "is a dis
grace to the state of Oregon. It
is an insult to the other races."
state departments must be heard
in Marion county, the two cir
cuit judges do not have suffi
cient time to devote to juvenile
matters.
W. W. McKinney, who for
our years served as municipal
judge, said that because of pres
ent conditions juveniles are held
in jail for as high as three weeks
at a time awaiting a hearing. He
contended that a committee that
had studied the problem for sev
eral months had recommended,
first, that an additional judge to
preside in a domestic relations
court should be authorized and
i juvenile home established in
the county.
Sen. Dean Walker, a member
of the committee, said he recog
nized the problem that Marion
county faced but said that Lane
county is faced with a similar
one.
"If a bill were brought in here
providing, first for a presiding
judge in Multnomah county to
serve in that position permanent
ly and also a presiding judge for
the state of Oregon, having jur
isdiction over all circuit courts
in the state, I would be in a bet
ter position to pass on this bill,"
Walker said.
District Judge Joe Felton call
ed attention to the fact that be
cause most of the institutions
are locaed in Marion county,
many families of persons sen
tenced or committed to the insti
tutions settle in Salem and juv
enile problems arise.
Judge Felton said that estab
lishment of a domestic court in
Marion county would be a pro
gressive step.
Rep. Francis Ziegler, chair
man of the sub-committee, told
the delegation that the commit
tee would consider the question
at the next meeting when it was
expected that Sen. William
Walsh, who was at another com
mittee Tuesday, would be in at
tendance.

have married girls overseas who
belong to races other than white,
had asked her to support the bill
so they could bring their wives

Gibson, Junction City; Frank
H. Hilton and Thomas R. Ma

Geographer Says Americans
Are World's Worst Pioneers
Chicago, March 21 U.R) Americans who are fed up with the
workaday world and hanker to get away to some palm-fringed
tropic isle got a word of advice today from a world traveler,
"Stay home," was Dr. Earl P. Hanson's emphatic counsel.
Hanson, a professor of geography at the University of Dela
ware, is an expert on such far-f;
flung places as Iceland, the Am
azon basin, Liberia, and the
tropics.
"It all seems so glamorous
when you're here at home,"
Hanson said, "but it isn't at all."
"And Americans are the lous
iest pioneers in the world.
"They're used to too many
conveniences. Unless they can
go to the movies every night or
watch television whenever they
want to, or unless there are a
lot of other foolish Americans
around to talk to, before you
know it they want to eo home."
Hanson was attending the an
nual meeting of the Association
of American Geographers, spon-
sorea by Northwestern univer
sity. He spoke on a phase of
"The Problems of the White
Man in the Tropics."
He conceded that today's spir
aling prices, high taxes and
threats of war might make a lot
of people think they would like
to "go native" and get back to
the "simple life."
"But it takes a lot more than
just wanting to get away from it
all," he said. "At least it does if
you're you're going to make a
success of it.
It takes adaptibility. You
have to be ready to put up with
all kinds of inconveniences
and like them.
Why, take an American, put
him under a palm tree and he
thinks he's happy. But the first
cockroach that drops into his
soup and he's all set to pack up
and grab the next boat for
home."
