Last Monday night he was appointed recorder-treasurer by the town board of trustees. Tuesday he was sworn In and assumed the duties of his office, and Wednesday night submitted hla resignation, which became effective Thursday As a matter of fact, It was not Intended that Mr. Wilson was to be appointed It had all been ar ranged beforehand that Homer Wilson, son of the former mayor, was to be the appointee, but •nmebooy threw a m o n k e y wrench into the works and Wil son pere was nominated Instead of his son. However, everything has been fixed up to the satis faction of all concerned, and Homer Is now the duly appointed and qualified recorder-treasurer and his dad Is again a private citizen. BEAVERTON BOY WINS 1ST PRIZE AT CORN SHOW reiteri m W a s h in g to n S t i r s STATE GAME COMMISSION MULTNOMAH DISTRICT COURT FILMS FARM ACTIVITIES UPHOLDS NRA WAGE CODE 2 0 0 ,0 0 0 Cutthroat Trout To Be Important Decision Is First of Kind Distributed in Washington In United States and Es- Countj Soon tablishes Precedent To Increase Interest In establish ment of holding pens In Washington county, where pheasant hens will be kept until the close of hunting season, members of the state game commission put on a program Monday at ths chamber of commerce luncheon at Hillsboro. About 100 business men and visiting sportsmen attended. Fifty thousand eggs, laid by 000 pheasant hens, were gathered at the state game farms this year, Ernest L. Crockett, assistant state game super visor. told the audience, as he showed for the first time two reels of moving pictures of state game farm activities. More pheasants than ever before have been released within the last two years. However, there was a shortage of birds this year, because of the wet, late spring, and because of predatory animals. Frank B. Wire, state game supervisor, declared. He asked that iudgment of the slaughter of elk dur ing the recent open season be withheld until a thorough Investigation Is com pleted Stories of conditions have been greatly exaggerated, and In many In stances are without foundation or fact, he added. Oregon has 18,000 miles of flshable streams. Matt Corrigan of McMinn ville. chairman of the commission, told the meeting. Through budgeting pro duction of the hatcheries the fish have been more equitably distributed over the state, while expenses of game con trol and propagation have been re duced $18,000 annually, he said. A truck load of 15,000 Lock Levin trout were on display In front of the Chamber of Commerce building after the meeting. The fish, with another truckload which was brought out Tuesday, all from the hatchery at Bonneville, were planted In Patton and Scoggins creeks In years past it has been Impossible for the game com mission to procure a sufficient number of cutthroat trout eggs to adequately stock the streams of the state. This oast year It was possible for the com mission to procure the I«och I^vln eggs from the state of California, and se cured a limited number to try out In the streams of Oregon. The Loch Levin trout la not aa migratory In habit as the cutthroat, yet Is a good game fish In the budget worked out by the game commission Washington county Is to receive 200.000 cutthroat trout, which will be distributed In about 60 days. Supervision of the distribution of these fish will be under the dlrecton of n committee from the Washington County Rod and Oun clun.

Christen sen estimated that more than 1000 people visited the show during the day Forty-eight club members each showed 25 ears of com, an increase of exactly 50 per cent over last year. Com was selected by club members from ears grown on a full acre, which they them selves planted and cared for. Ivan Bierly, route 3, Beaverton, was declared winner by E. N. Bressman. associate agronomist at Oregon State college, who Judged the show. Ivan's two brothers, Amos and Elmer, placed second and third, respectively. By winning first and second In the com show, Ivan and Amos Bierly climaxed a very successful year in com club work, according to Joseph Belanger assistant county agent.

"Ma turity of the com," Mr Bressman said “is of great importance and com should be selected which will be mature by October 1." In drying the com, he said, the Important factor Is speed. Provided the heat used does not bring the tem perature of the com above 120 to 130 degrees, the quicker the com is dried the better the resultant germination Once dried down to about 15 per cent moisture, said Bressman. freezing temperatures will not Injure the seed Washington counly 4-H clubs, large ly through the Influence of the bank com show, has made more improve ment In Minnesota 13 field corn than any other section of the state, Bress man declared.

Nov. » -(Special to the Review >-In the first test of the NRA In a state court, District Judge John A. Hears, in a sweeping decision which sets a precedent for United States Jurists, today upheld the NRA wage scale In Multnomah district court In the suit of Bessie N. Walker against Noble A Sons, confectioners, for $14.80. the difference between the wages paid her and the minimum wage allowable under the Blue Eagle. Judge Mears. presiding in small claims court, based his momentous de cision on the Investigations of officials working under the direction of the Multnomah county NRA compliance board, who reported to the court that ♦he wages paid by Noble A Sons were below the minimum prescribed in the NRA agreement. Miss Walker, a waitress, began work In the confectionery as a substitute for another girl who was III. She remained when the other girl failed to return to work. When Noble A Sons refused to pay her the minimum NRA wage, she brought suit In the court of small claims. "In all disputes of this sort, the reasonable value of the services ren dered are a recognized principle of law," declared Judge Mears in com menting on his decision. "It Is usual to call In expert testimony to fix the reasonable value of services rendered. However, the national recovery admin istration, after much research, has es tablished a fair minimum wage. This la, beyond question, a better determina tion of the reasonable value of the services In question than the testimony of so-called experts. "There was nothing else to do than grant the plaintiff the sum asked in the suit." Judge Mears continued. "She had a Just claim, based on the mini mum reasonable value for her services prescribed by the assembled experts who devised the NRA code.” Judge Mears, In rendering Judgment, delivered a brusque lecture to the de fendants, ordering them to pay the full sum asked by Miss Walters. The decision handed down by Judge Mears Is of far-reaching Import In es tablishing a precedent In United Stales Jurisprudence. It opens the way for employes, whose employers are violat ing the NRA code by paying less than the minimum code wage, to bring suit In state courts and receive Judgment for the difference between the wage paid and the minimum allowable tinder the Blue Eagle agreement. "The importance of Judge Mears' de cision cannot be overestimated," said W C. Ruegnltx, chairman of the Ore gon-Idaho district recovery board. "It is the first test of the validity of wage code provisions in a state court, and the decision establishes the validity of the code. The decision Is a body-blow for thoae employers who seek to 'chisel' on wages and pay less than the minimum wage allowable." NRA executives, on learning of the decision, sought additional legnl ad vice, »nd were assured that Judge Mears' decision Is sound law, In being based on the principle of reasonable value for services. Reasonable value must be established by the reasonable ness of the charge for services In the community where the services are per formed, It was said, and the NRA code, setting a minimum wage determined by NRA experts, constitutes proof of reasonableness. Washington officials of the national recovery administration were Immedi ately advised of Judge Mears sweeping decision favoring the NRA. and na tional press associations carried the news. -------------- o —— — — Join the Red Crons and help Beaver If you like the Review, pass It on to ton’s needy. your friends.

HA $1.50 Per Y ear BOARD OF TOWN TRUSTEES ISSUES CALL FOR CAUCUS Candidates lor City Offices Ts Be Named at Meeting in Audi tor ion Tuesday Nifht At the called meeting of the board of town trustees Monday night a call was Issued for a caucus for the pur pose of naming candidates for mayor, recorder and three town trustees, the caucus to be held in the auditorium of the high school Tuesday evening, No vember 14, at 7:30 o'clock.

Three trustees, Messrs. Livermore, Fordney and Boswell are holdovers and will not be affecti d by the coming election, which will be held Tuesday, December 5. Successors to Mayor Earl E. Fisher, Recorder-Treasurer Homer L. Wilson and Town Trustees Bishop, Koshland and Barnes, however, are to be named at the caucus. It Is believed that all four of these officials will be candi dates to succeed themselves. Whether there will be others in the field Is problmatical, but It is understood that political medicine is being brewed and that an opposition ticket will be se lected. Mayor Fisher appointed the follow ing as election officials; Chairman, P. M. Madden; second judge, Mrs. Leils Richey; third judge, Henry Watts; first clerk, August Kohler; second clerk, W. E McCloskey. S. P. Wright of the Ho ward-Coo per corporation quoted his prices on a Woods circulator and a Burrell gas mask for the fire department. The mask was quoted at $22 and the cir culator at $27.50. The matter was taken under consideration Councilman Fordney, chairman of ♦he committee appointed to inquire about the rental of the Beaverton garage, reported that the town could rent the garage for $9 per month, provided a year's rent was paid in ad- ’ vance. Otherwise the rent would be $10 per month. No action was taken on the report and the committee was discharged. Lester Squires appeared before the council and asked that he be given the appointment as caretaker for the fire apparatus. He stated that he was a certified mechanic, was badly In need of employment and would be willing to take the job for a nominal sum and keep the fire apparatus in proper re pair and ready at all times to answer alarms. Mayor Fisher appointed Coun- cilmen Fordney and Fire Chief Beach to investigate into Mr. Squires' quali fications and report at the next meet ing The matter of the bills owed the city by Messrs. Alexander and Bridwell was discussed. The recorder was instructed to send them a copy of the ordinance under authority of which the indebted ness was incurred. Recorder A. E. Wilson announced that he wished to submit his resigna tion as recorder-treasurer, as it was impossible for him to spare the time necesat^ to fulfill the duties of the office. He wished the resignation to take effect at once, but It was decided to defer action until Thursday evening. At the Thursday session Mr. Wilson's resignation was accepted and Homer L. Wilson, reading clerk, was appointed to fill the vacancy. On motion of Trustee Bishop, seconded by Fordney, it was decided to purchase a 50-gallon drum of turbine oil for the town pump.
