Salem, Feb. 20. "In cases where
the justice of the peace is preju
diced, an infringement of water
rights may be taken to the circuit
court to be tried," said Representa
tive James T. Chinnock, Grants
Pass, explaining HB. 498, which he
Introduced.
"Most laws have this provision al
ready and this is just extending It,"
said Mr. Chinnock. "All the bill
does is give both courts jurisdiction
in trial for misdemeanors under the
relating to infringement of water
rights."
Clarification of fence laws of the
state proposed in H. B. 493, Intro
duced recently by the committee on
revision of laws.
"The present fence laws are In
such conditions that no one can un
derstand what they mean," said
Representative William H. Brlggs,
Ashland, chairman of the commit
tee on revision of laws. "The pro
posed bill substantially re-enacts
the material portions of the pres
ent law and eliminates many use
less and contradictory sections mak
ing a comprehensive fence law."
The bill is a substitute for H. B.
134, which denned a lawful fence as
any thing in the nature of a fence
such as a good-husbandman in the
community maintained.
The new bill combines the present
fence laws, with the addition that a
woven wire fence shall be lawful if
constructed with 20 inch woven wire
and three barbed wires or with 26
Inch woven wire and two barbed
wires, the whole not to be less than
four feet, six inches in height.
With $1,100,000 of new appropria
tion bills being acted upon, together
with Governor Patterson's budget
which balanced exactly with the
1929-1930 revenue, the legislature is
facing a jam. It cannot vote any
new appropriations without reduc
ing the governor's budget in a cor
responding amount unless is runs
the risk of exceeding revenues and
facing the veto. Yet, Ways and
Means committee has reported out
a number of the new appropriations,
recommending their enactment. So
far it has cut the budget only $15,
000, which cut does not begin to
make room for the new appropria
tions already recommended. Sur
viving In the Ways and Means com
mittee Is the vetoed university li
brary appropriation bill of the 1927
session. This also must be reckon
ed with. As this is written, the de
ficiency for 1929-1930, counting the
library bill and the new appropria
tions being considered, amounts to
$1,500,000, to say nothing of the old
deficit.
New revenue measures are of no
avail unless supported by popular
vote at an election, so as to place
the revenue outside of the 6 per
cent limitation.
This session has convened longer
without introduction of the main
appropriation bills than has any
previous session of the Oregon leg
islature. The latest the main bills
have been started heretofore was
the Saturday of the fifth week, and
this year they are coming in only
In the middle of the sixth week.
This lateness of Introduction, to
gether with consideration of so
many bills outside of the budget,
portends a jam which will carry
the legislature far into the seventh
week, perhaps beyond.
"If we are going to vote to cancel
interest on the soldiers bonus, and
other loans, it Is a great inconsist
ency not to do so for the irrigation
and drainage districts," Senator R.
J. Carsner of Spray stated in debate
in the Senate recently on the pas
sage of H. B. 219. The bill provides
that on assessments levied by drain
age or irrigation districts the pen
alties shall be for the benefit of the
district. The measure passed the
Senate and has been referrd to the
House.
A device which will indicate the
speed at which a car is traveling by
the color of a light fixed to the
front Is called for In S. B. 179, in
troduced by Senator R. J. Carsner,
Spray.
"The purpose of this bill is for
the better safeguarding and protec
tion of human life so that a passing
car may know how fast another car
is coming," Senator Carsner ex
plained. "The bill was introduced
at the request of traffic officers and
safety societies."
A white light if you are not trav
eling over 15 miles an hour; an or
ange one if you reach 35; green for
35 to 45 miles an hour and a red
light for those brave souls who
travel faster.
No device suitable has yet been
put on the market, although it is
understood that one has been in
vented.
The light must be discernable 600
feet in advance of the vehicle to
which it is attached and will be
connected with the speedometer.
The state will examine proposed
devices and license those workable,
after a sale agreement fixing the
retail price Is filed with the secre
tary of state. The act is to be sus
pended until a suitable device is
found.
"There Is nothing In this bill to
change the distribution of the state
market road fund, but requires that
in the future the counties are not
required to match the state money,"
explained Representative John H.
Carkln of Medford about H. B. 415.
The measure passed the House and
is now in the Senate. "If they de
sire to match the money, they may
raise the taxes by a levy, but it is
not obligatory. There Is no change
in the apportionment of state mon
ey. Multnomah county will still
continue to contribute about $300,
000 a year to the other counties.
"I believe the bill will accomplish
a saving. The old law was un
American and against home-rule.
It resulted in hardship upon tax
payers in many counties."
"To find the graves of all ex-soldiers
Is the purpose of the appro
priation asked for In H.B. 488," said
ENTIRE WORLD WILL HEAR VOICE
OF HERBERT HOOVER DURING THE
BROADCAST OF INAUGURAL RITES
The voice of Herbert Hoover, de
livering his inaugural address on
March 4, will be heard around the
globe.
A detailed description of the pro
ceedings including an eye-witness
story of the inaugural parade four
miles long will be heard by fifty
million listeners in the United
States, and millions of others in
foreign countries.
"Recently we have had .a striking
demonstration o f international
broadcsatlng," says M. H. Ayles
worth of the National Broadcasting
Company. "A speech by the Presi
dent of the United States, head all
over this country, was followed,
within a few seconds, by a program
coming to us from England.
"American programs are heard
with regularity in Europe, Asia,
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
South America. We have arrived
at the point where radio communi
cation to the masses of other na
tions is an accomplished fact
"Frequently British programs are
heard here with almost the clarity
of a local station. These programs
are received here in the late after
noon, although they are produced
in England five hours later In the
evening London time.
"On March 4, the next President
and Vice President of the United
States will be Inducted into of
fice. A detailed description of the
proceedings will be sent to virtu
ally every nation In the civilized
world, and the voice of our chief
executive will be heard around the
earth, through rebroadcasts by pow
erful foreign stations.
"As a part of the inaugural cere
monies there will be a parade, four
miles long, in which representatives
will participate. Every state in the
union will have a delegation among
the 20,000 persons who will partici
pate. "The radio audience in the United
states and abroad, will hear descrip
tions of the parts that their repre-

sentatives have in the celebration.
They will hear the bands, the bu
gles and the fife-drum corps as they
pass the reviewing stand in which
will be seated the newly inaugur
ated President and his official party.
All the color and enthusiasm of
this quadriennial American cere
mony will be brought to the world;
all the solemnity of the occasion
when a new President stands with
his hand on the Bible and takes
the oath of office.
"The world will hear the voice of
America, and we believe that the
world will be more closely cemented
to us through such broadcasts in
ternational as these."
Representative J. F. Clark, Oregon
City, who introduced the bill. "It is
just a mark of respect and patriot
ism and will also serve to make the
records of the state complete."
The bill provides for an appro
priation of $2,500 from the state to
be used only for the actual working
expenses of locating the graves.
Markers will be provided by the
federal government and the graves
will probably be marked about once
a year. No salaries are to be paid
out of the appropriation, if the
measure is granted.
"Many graves which are not iden
tified are scattered over the state,"
Mr. Clark said, "and there is great
demand for the action required by
this bill by all patriotic organiza
tions of the state."
Among other "weedy" problems
tackled by the legislature is one of
how tall weeds may grow and when
they shall be cut. A bill, which pro
vides that weeds shall not grow to
a height in excess of 12 inches and
shall be destroyed and prevented
from seeding during the remainder
of the calendar year, has been In
troduced by Senator Edward F.
Bailey of Junction City.
The bill, S. B. 170, amends several
sections of the present law, relat
ing to weed control districts and
the extermination of noxious weeds.
It merely stiffens the present law
on weed extermination and puts
some teeth in It," was Senator
Bailey's explanation of the bill.
All the low characters of the vi
cinity appear at these public dance
halls outside of small towns," de
clared Representative S. L. Stewart,
Polk county, at the hearing held by
the house health and public mor
als committee on S. B. 78.
Senate Bill 78 provides for bring
ing "so-called social clubs" under
the law as public dance halls and
also defines and regulates all pub
lic dances In towns of 2,500 popula
tion or less.
"Just the scum of all the towns
In the vicinity frequent these places
and moonshine almost always
abounds," Representative Stewart
said. "The larger places regulate
their dance halls and so these peo
ple come from miles around to these
dance halls and the conditions are
terrible. There Is no more degrad
ing place."
"The mail carriers should not be
obliged to pay the state gasoline
tax because they use only five per
cent of the state highways, for the
upkeep of which this tax is desig
nated," was Senator E. F. Bailey's
version of S. B. 69, which passed the
Senate and is now under considera
tion In the House. The bill pro
poses that the state should refund
the gasoline tax to the rural mail
carriers.
In refutation of Senator Bailey's
statement, Senator Joe E. Dunne of
Clackamas, Columbia and Multno
mah counties stated he had receiv
ed a letter from a truck company
operating a large fleet of trucks in
the city limits of Portland. This
company claimed the same right of
exemption, since the truckB did not
use the state highways.
Senator Jay Upton, Bend, declar-
ed, however, that any taxes Imposed
on truck drivers by the state would
be more than returned from their
charges to the public, Mall carriers:
he said, were In government employ
and did not have a similar oppor
tunity, being men on small salaries.
Senator R. J. Carsner, Spray,
though he favored the Idea, con
sidered that this matter should not
be settled by the legislature, but by
courts.
"The attorney general of the
Btate has ruled that no minor can
work in any restaurant, drug store
or any such place where cigarettes
are Incidentally sold," declared Rep
resentative James T. Hazlett, Hood
River.
House Bill 500, Introduced by Mr.
Hazlett, strikes out a clause in the
section relating to the selling of cig
arettes to minors. This section
states that having cigarettes in a
place of business, where minors may
take them or help themselves, shall
be held to be prima facie evidence
of an intent to sell to minors.
"Many minors are working in
drug stores or restaurants to earn
money to go to school," Mr. Hazlett
said, "and it is perfectly proper for
them to do so. Under the provis
ions of this clause minors can not
even enter a restaurant or place of
business where cigarettes are inci
dentally sold. This is a great hard
ship and while it is not often en
forced, it is possible to do so and
this should be taken out of the law."

Fuel system of the new Ford
has been
designed for reliability
and long service
THE practical value of Ford
simplicity of design is es
pecially apparent in the fuel
system.
The gasoline tank is built
integral with the cowl and is
unusually sturdy becauseit
is made of heavy sheet steel,
terne plated to prevent rust
or corrosion. An additional
factor of strength is the fact
that it is composed of only
two pieces, instead of three
or four, and is electrically
welded not soldered.
Because of the location of
the tank, the entire flow of
gasoline is an even, natural
flow following the natural
law of gravity. This is the
simplest and most direct
way of supplying gasoline to
the carburetor without vari
ations in pressure. The gaso
line feed pipe of the new
Ford is only 18 inches long
and is easily accessible all
the way.
The gasoline passes from
the tank to the carburetor
through a filter or sediment
bulb mounted on the steel
dash which separates the
gasoline tank from the
engine.
The carburetor is specially
designed and has been built
to deliver many
thousands of miles
of good service.
Since all adjustments are
fixed except the needle valve
and idler, there is practi
cally nothing to get out of
order.
The choke rod on the
dash acts as a primer and
also as a regulator of your
gasoline mixture. The new
hot spot manifold insures
complete vaporization of the
gasoline before it enters the
combustion chamber of the
engine.
As a matter of fact, the
fuel system of the new Ford
is so simple in design and
so carefully made that it
requires very little service
attention.
The filter or sediment
bulb should be cleaned at
regular intervals and the
carburetor screen removed
and washed in gasoline. Oc
casionally the drain plug at
the bottom of the carburetor
should be removed and the
carburetor drained for a
few seconds.
Have your Ford dealer
look after these important
little details for you when
you have the car oiled and
greased. A thorough, peri
odic checking-up costs little,
but i! has a great deal to do
with long life and
continuously good
performance.
