VOLUME 44
ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FEBRUARY 20, 1931
NUMBER 8
SENATE SCALLOPS
UPTON'S PROPOSAL
Bill to Substitute Volstead
Act in Oregon Turned
Down Flat.
Salem. With only Senators Upton,
Moser and Strayer interposing their
votes in its defense, the Upton bill
which sought to submit to the people
of Oregon the question of substitute
ing the Volstead act for the Oregon
bone dry law was killed by indefinite
postponement Monday afternoon.
; Twenty-six senators voted to kill the
. bill. Senator Spaulding was absent,
Loath to pass up the opportunity pre
sented by galleries packed with pro
ponents and' opponents of the meas
ure, members of the senate talked for
two and one half hours on the bill be
fore submitting it to vote.
Senator Upton, author of the bill,
declared that he had known all along
that the five members of the commit
tee were opposed to his measure and
admitted that he did not expect much
support for the bill at the hands of
his colleagues. He did believe how
ever, that the people of Oregon were
entitled to an expression of senti
ment in the legislature on the ques
tion involved in his measure.
The difference between the Vol
stead act and the Oregon bone dry
law, Upton explained, was to be found
in the fact that under the federal act
physicians were permitted to pre
scribe liquors, which was forbidden
under the Oregon law. The federal
act also permitted the manufacture
of wine and beer in the home up to a
certain alcoholic content.
Under the federal act it was per
missible to have and serve in one's
? own home, "home brew," wines and
other liquors without fear or molesta
tion from the law-enforcing agencies.
The only way to sound out sentU
ment of the people of the state on
the prohibition question, he declared,
was by submitting to them some such
measure as the one he was sponsor
ing. He prophesied that while he
might not return to another session,
the next legislature would find a ma
jority of both house and senate ready
to vote to submit such a measure to
the people. His principal object in in
troducing the bill at this time, he ex
plained, was in order to give "the
great unorganized majority who now
indulge in the use of liquor" an op
' portunity to prepare their forces for
a showdown two years hence.
In one city of Oregon alone there
are at least 60,000 breweries, accord
ing to Upton, who gave it as his
opinion that there were more people
in the state who indulge in the use
of drink than there were of those
who refrained from such indulgence.
The bone dry law could never be
enforced, he declared, because it was
not popular. The great majority of
of people did not want the law, he
said.
His fight, he declared, was not
against the churches, but against the
Anti-Saloon League of America.
The league, he charged, would sup;
port any man for public office so long
as he promised to vote dry, regard
less of how much of a drunken sot he
might be.
The Oregon law, he declared, made
criminals of the best citizens in the
state. At every convention of war
veterans, he pointed out, whether of
the Civil war, Spanish war or World
war, there was much liquor drinking,
in spite of the legal inhibition.
Admitting that the use of liquor to
excess was wrong, Upton deplored a
condition which made a crime of a
practice that was as old as civiliza
tion itself. Senator Eddy defended
the Oregon bone dry law as a real
prohibition law. It had been copied
by a number of states and a portion
of it had been incorporated in the
Volstead act, he said. The law was
enacted in 1917 by a bone dry legis
lature, Eddy explained. The Vol
. stead act, he said, would not fit at all
into Oregon's legal system. Under
Upton's proposal, he pointed out, all
prohibition violations in Oregon
would have to be tried in the circuit
courts. The Volstead act would also
destroy the search and seizure idea
as incorporated in the Oregon law.
It would also revive the drug store
as a peddler of liquor, he pointed out.
Eddy denied that those who sup
ported the Oregon law were narrow
minded, as Upton charged, but that
this appellation more properly be
longed to those who sought to under
mine law and law enforcement.
Mrs. Sharp Improving
Letters to Athena friends announce
that Mrs. S. F. Sharp has been re
moved from a hospital in San Diego,
where some weeks ago she underwent
an operation! for removal of a con

Suspect Killers
of Frank Smiley
Taken by Police
Charged with the hammer murder
of Frank Smiley in a lonely cabin
near Yakima, Wash., last Christmas
eve, Charles O. Baker, 64, and his
wife, Mabel, are held in separate
Southern California jails awaiting
the arrival of officers from Yakima,
according to press dispatches.
Baker was captured as he went to
visit his daughter at a Los Angeles
apartment house. '
The capture, deputies ' said, was
made possible by an alleged confes
sion of Mrs. Baker, who was arrested
at Riverside last week and has since
been incommunicado in the Riverside
county jail. Her arrest was kept sec
ret while Los Angeles deputies
searched for Baker.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Baker are want
ed, for the murder of Smiley, accord
ing to circulars sent to Riverside by
the sheriff of Yakima county. They
are alleged to have beaten Smiley to
death in a rum war battle.
. Smiley had a police record at Wal
la Walla as a bootlegger. His body,
wrapped and tied up in sacking, was
found near a canyon road in the Mab-
ton section a few days after the mur
der. Identification of the body re
vealed the Bakers as suspects, as
Smiley had been living with them.
They had disappeared when warrants
were issued at Yakima, but presum
ably Yakima officers succeeded in
tracing them to Los Angeles county.
Pendleton DeMolays Will
Visit Local Masonic Lodge
The attention of all Masons is call
ed to the next regular communication
of Dolph Lodge, at which time Pen
dleton Chapter, Order of DeMolay
will be present to exemplify ; their
work for the benefit of the local
brethren. Kohler Betts,' Master War
den of Dolph Lodge, -A. F. & A. M.,
gives the following relative to De
Molay for publication:
Jacques DeMolay, for whom this
boys' organization ' is named, was a
famous grand master of the Knights
Templars; born in Burgundy and ad
mitted to the order about 1265, he
signalized himself by his valor in Pal
estine. In October 1307, all Knights
Templars throughout France were ar
rested at the same hour because of a
plan arranged by the King of France
and the head of the state church to
exterminate the order. The Templars
were unjustly tried for heresy, im
piety and various other charges, and
57 of their number were committed
to the flames in 1311. DeMolay was
kept in prison until March 18, 1314, at
which time he suffered the same fate,
declaring the innocence of .his order
to the last.
The Order of DeMolay, while not
a part of Freemasonry, is sponsor
ed by Masonic bodies. The order was
started in Kansas City by the Royal
Arch Masons in June, 1909 and has
erown rapidly- until at present chap
ters are jo be found throughout the
United States ana in, seven ioreign
countries.
In every state there is a grand of
ficer of the Grand Chapter of Kansas
City, this office being filled in Oregon
by Dr. W. J. Kerr, president of Ore
gon State College. There are 24
ChaDters in Oregon, with a combined
membership of about 1200 boys. The
teachings of the order inspire the boy
to clean living, clear thinking, good
citizenship and reverence to parents
and God.

Gasoline Cowboy
Bill Is Amended
by Oregon Senate
Salem. Twenty senators , threw
their support to the amended gasoline
cowboy bill Tuesday afternoon and
saved the measure from death as its
opponents had desired. Only 10 mem
bers voted to kill the bill, which was
placed on final passage after nearly
two hours of debate. The measure
house bill No. 148 amends the act
of 1929 so as to exempt the small
farmer and stock man from the pro'
visions of the bill requiring a dealer's
license for persons offering meat for
sale.
The bil' r- fn to Senator Up
ton, was passed iwo years ago in re
sponse to demands for protection of
the small farmer and stock grower
from the thievery of organized gangs.
During the past two years there have
been 32 prosecutions as a result of
this act and stealing of livestock has
almost ceased. The amendments to
the act provided by the bill now be
fore the senate, he explained, only
sought to relieve the farmer who
wanted to peddle his own products
from the necessity of getting a li
cense.
Senator Strayer told his colleagues
that ever since the 1929 session he
has been bombarded by the farmers
of his county urging the repeal of the
entire act. Strayer presented a peti
tion containing the signatures of 391
farmers of Baker county asking for
the abolishment of the act. Strayer
directed his particular attention to a
section of the old act which increases
the salary of the state veterinarian
by $600 a year, which he declared to
be one of the principal excuses for
the enactment of the measure. Ad
ministration of the act during the
past two years, he pointed out, had
cost $32,000.
Senator Eddy declared that the act
of 1929 had worked exactly the hard
ships on the small farmer that he had
foreseen and warned against. The bill
he charged, had been put through the
legislature by the lobbying activities
of "a certain state official" who stood
to profit of any merit it contained.
Senator Schulmerich declared that
any complaint that had arisen as a
result of the bill had subsided now
since the benefits of the act had been
realized. If it had cost $32,000 to en
force the act he declared, it had sav
ed at least $35,000 in stolen stock to
the small farmers of the state.
Senator Dunne supported the bill
with the declaration that the old law
had now "been reformed, of all its
sins," it was a good law as amended
and should satisfy everybody except
the crooks. -

Valley Association Indorses
Waterways Effort for
Navigation.
Pendleton. Members of the Co
lumbia Valley association, gathering
in annual session here Monday, heard
a review of the work done in the an
nual report of Dr. Clark Black, presi
dent, and special stress laid upon the
matter of getting an appropriation of
$850,000 for development of the navi
gation project through the next ses
sion of congress.
This work was suggested in a re
port to the war department in 1922,
but was not approved then. A request
has been made that the report be re
viewed by Major O. C. Kuentz, dis
trict engineer at Portland.
After a heated debate toward the
close of the morning business session,
the group voted to pass a resolution
indorsing the efforts of the Western
Inland Waterways corporation to
start a boat service on the Columbia
on a public-supported basis.
A report submitted to the associa
tion Monday morning showed that
$10,000 had been received and expend
ed in the work, $7700 of. this being
for salaries.
The association was also made cog
nizant of the unconfirmed rumor that '
reduced freight rates ordered by the
interstate commerce commission may
not go into effect until June 1.
Roy Ritner of Pendleton also called
attention to the fact that the 70-car
freight measure before the Oregon
legislature might prove an argument
for the roads in that it would in
crease operating costs.
Delegates from Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho were present for the
session and a large number of proxies
were in the hands of Dr. Black and
R. H. Kipp, secretary. During the af
ternoon session, which was open to
the public, Major Kuentz spoke on
the development of the Columbia and
its tributaries, and Harry Mitchell,
district manager of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, spoke
on inland waterway development in
Europe and the Southern states.
Members of the board of directors
include the names of John Caster,
Walla Walla and J. E. Ekey, Pendleton.
Major Kuentz, in speaking of the
Columbia and its development, de
clared that a major factor in getting
development of the river project be
fore congress would be to utilize the
existing facilities for navigation.
Mitchell declared that this region
and the Columbia offered much in the
way of water transportation, and
compared it with developments in the
East, such as the Erie Canal and Mo
hawk river.
The association selected Lewiston,
Idaho, as the next meeting place.
