Free Bridges
County Salaries
Tax Waivure
By A. L. UNDBECK
SALEM. Added impetus was
given the drive for free bridges on
the Coast highway this week when
the federal Public Works adminis
tration gave its approval to the
plan. Copies of a bill drawn by
the legal department of the PWA
and covering the change from toll
spans to free bridges were received
this week by the highway depart
ment and have been submitted to
the legislature for consideration.
The bill would vest in the highway
commission authority to operate
the bridges without tolls and to re
tire the bridge bonds out of cur
rent revenues from automobile li
censes and gasoline taxes.
Governor Martin has added his
voice to that of other free bridge
advocates.
"We must have free bridges along
this great highway to increase our
tourist travel," the governor said.
"The bridges will be paid for out of
gasoline taxes and by the people
who use the spans. Tolls would
retard the development of this
great section of the state."
On the other hand communities
in southern, central and eastern
Oregon which are still waiting for
completion of the original highway
system are opposing the free bridge
nroeram on the eround that it
would take money out of the high
way fund which should be spent on
projects already long delayed. The
controversy promises to become one
of the warmest of the present ses
sion, not excepting that which will
wage around the proposed amend
ment of the Knox liquor control
act and the biennial fish fight.
The Pendleton Round-Up, Lake-
view Round-Up, the eastern Ore-
gon livestock show at Union and the
Oakland turkey show are all out
after a share of the state's racing
revenues. Pendleton wants $5000,
Union is asking for $7500, Lakeview
could use $2500 and Oakland mod
estly suggests that $1200 would
come in handy in meeting expenses
of the turkey show. At the same
time Senator Zimmerman has
bill in repealing the act of 1931
which legalized horse and dog rac
ing and the pari-mutuel system of
betting which last year produced
$83,000 for the support of fairs
throughout the state.
Salaries of county officials would
be fixed by the board of county
commissioners rather than by the
legislature under the terms of
bill by Representative Fatland
which has already passed the House
and is now before the Senate for
consideration. County salary prob
lems occupy much of the time of
the legislators at every session and
as some of the members have point
ed out such action as is taken is
without any informaton as to the
sentiment of the county involved
except such as is provided by the
county's delegation in the House
and Senate.
King Brothers, Portland contract
ors, who installed the cell fronts at
the state prison four years ago are
now asking the legislature to make
good a loss of more than $9000
which they incurred on the job, al
though the contract price of $19,
885 has been paid In full.
Dan Kellaher, state parole officer,
says that only five percent of the
men released from the state prison
on parole ever come back to the
institution.
It has been generally understood
for some time that Barnett Gold
stein of Portland was one of the
principal beneficiaries of the lib
eral disbursement of attorneys'
fees which characterized the Meier
administration but the exact extent
of Goldstein's fees were not re
vealed until this week. A report
prepared by the state corporation
department in compliance with a
House resolution shows that Gold
stein and his associates received
more than $54,000 for legal services
during the past four years. Gold
stein himself received $18,700 for
prosecuting officials of savings and
loan associations on fraud charges
and $12,675 for legal services in
connection with savings and loan
association liquidations. An add!
tional $22,825 was paid to B. H.
Goldstein and associates in connec
tion with savings and loan liquida
tions.
tor Bynon, represents the labors of
the interim committee created by
the 1933 session and provides for a
safety-responsibility program. The
measure is facetiously referred to
as the dog-bite bill since it would
permit motorists one accident be
fore compelling him to take out in
surance. That is motorists involved
in an accident would be barred
from the highway thereafter until
he had settled for any damages for
which he might have been respon
sible and established his financial
responsibility for any future acci
dents. The other bill, by Represen
tative Hyde of Lane county, would
compel every motorist to carry
property damage and personal lia
bility as a requisite to obtaining an
automobile license.
Three counties are asking for re
lief from payment of their share of
the state tax. Jefferson county
wants the state to waive its claim
on the last half of the 1934 tax and
all of the 1935 levy. Tillamook coun
ty wants the state to waive the en
tire 1934-35 levy and 50 percent of
the levy for the following five years.
Curry county would be satisfied if

George Neuner was the first to
feel the effects of the drive against
the employment of outside attor
neys by state boards and commis
sions. Neuner who has been em
ployed as legal advisor to the liquo
control commission ever since the
Knox law went into effect at
salary of $200 a month was released
by the new commission at Its meet
ing here last week.
The new game commission is be
ing torn between two desires. In
the first place it does not want to
do anything that might be con
strued as opposition to Governor
Martin's program for supervision
and control over the revenues and
expenditures of all self-supported
boards and commissions. In that
desire the board is no doubt moti
vated in part at least by recollec
tions of the fate which befell the
old board when its members came
out against the governor s program
On the other hand the commission
is anxious that all of its revenues
ahull be available for the propaga
tion and conservation of fish and
game without having to divert any
of it to the general fund for the
support of other activities.

Prairie where a party of volunteers
rescued them next day and took
them to L. P. Brown s hotel in Mt,
Idaho. .During tne massacre, one
giant of a noble red man siezed a
small boy and squeezed his head
to a pulp between his knees right
before the mother's eyes. Those
women were nursed back to life.
and may be still on earth enduring
nightmares re-enacting the awful
agonies they endured.
In White Bird Canyon, Col. Par-
nell and Sergt McCarthy of Fort
Walla Walla did daring deeds in
holding back the hostiles while Col
Perry's outfit escaped from the
trap.
Near the Cottonwood House,
Lieut. Raines, ten troopers and
Scouts Foster and Blewett, out on
a volunteer reconizance, were sum
marily shot down, and Captain
Randall lost his life when he headed
17 Idaho volunteers in a dashing
charge right through the hostile
lines.
l rail to remember how many
white people the Nez Perces killed
around the Camas Prairie country,
but they killed all they could, and
I was reminded of their humanity
cn seeing the dead bodies of Farns
worth and six others at the head of
Horse Prairie and the mouth of
Bloody Dick's Gulch, and many
murdered miners and prospectors
along the trail.
Chief Joseph has been credited
with strategic talent in making his
1500-mile retreat, and in giving the
devil his due, he deserved it. One
reason why he could out-travel the
troops was that his warriors had a
fresh horse to ride every hour,
while the troopers had only the
heavy horses they started out with
The Nez Perce war parties flanked
the main outfit for miles, raided
horse ranches, murdered the men
who might be there, and then ran
the stolen stock at an angle into
their main herd.
Another thing that reminded me
of the humanity of the noble Nez
Perces was when they abandoned
their aged fathers and mothers
along the trail.
At about 8 o clock in the morn
ing our scouting outfit, a few miles
ahead of the army, would come in
sight of the smoke from the camp
fires where the hostiles had spent
the night before. Our Bannock
scouts would electrify their horses
and dash down to the camp. Very
soon we would hear a couple of
shots, and on riding into the camp
would see an aged Nez Perce man
or woman gasping a last gasp
Their brother-Bannax had deaded
them. Too old and feeble to rid
horses, they had been abandoned
by their people and left lying on an
old buffalo robe alongside a small
fire, with a bottle of water within
reach, but no food in sight.
After the cruel war was over, the
hostiles were escorted back to th
upper Missouri River and made
camp at the mouth of Rock creek,
It was work and more work to set
up lodges, gather buffalo chips for
cook fires, and carry buckets
water up the steep river banks. But
the women and children did it all
while Chief Joseph and half a dozen
other noble red men spread a sad
die blanket on the grass and played
poker, patiently listening for th
supper call. And having nobly re
sponded to that hardship, and de
stroved their rations, they re
sumed their interrupted poke
game, assuming the attitude of the
martyrs they were, or thought they
were.
Noble red men be-darned!

Summary of Oregon AAA
Funds Made by Counties
Every Oregon county has shared
in the distribution of $4,246,515.29
in rental and benefit payments re
turned to this state under the pro
visions of the agricultural adjust
ment act, according to a report as
of January 1 recently received by
the Oregon Extension service. Mor
row county's total is $415,769.80.
Total expenditures in this state
from processing taxes amounted at
that time to $10,439,466.90, but this
amount included $6,079,407.57 for
"surplus removal,"- most of which
was used in financing the wheat ex
port subsidy at Portland. Only
$113,544.04 is listed as general ad
ministrative expense in this state.
Wheat benefits have accounted
for the bulk of AAA payments in
Oregon, the total at the first of the
year being $3,880,348.65, compared
with $366,166.64 for the corn-hog
program. The latter represents
only the first payment on the 1934
contracts, however.
Umatilla county leads the state
by a wide margin in total rental and
benefit payments received. Next to
its total of $1,270,478.49 Is Sherman !
county with $559,540.91. Morrow,
Gilliam, Wasco and Union counties
follow in that order. Lincoln coun
ty farmers have profited the least
directly from these payments, the
total there being only $930 so far, all
from corn-hog payments.

A. H. Lauterbach, chief of the
dairy section of the AAA, announc
ed to Oregon dairymen in their
state convention in McMinnville
that a federal butter marketing
control program will be offered to
the Pacific coast states in the near
future. It will be designed to ac
complish much the same results
being attained locally by the Ore
gon butter marketing agreement.
Some sort of production control
in the near future Is deemed neces
sary by Lauterbach, as he says the
temporary conditions that have
brought about the present favorable
price situation cannot be expected
to continue. He also believes that
dairymen are entitled to protection
from "invasion" of their field by
farmers using contracted acreage
from other crop control programs
to increase their dairy output.

TRUCKING entered a new era of econ

demands on your truck that will further
reduce your operating and maintenance
cost;
Perhaps your tire wear is okay; Perhaps
your brakes are giving efficient, long serv
