Even before the votes cast In the primary election have been canvassed and with yet an other hurdle to be jumped in the fall elections boomlets have been started already for candidates for Speaker of the House and Presi dent of the Senate at the forth coming legislative session. As soon as the nomination of Frank J. Lonergan of Multnomah county as one of the 13 republican candidates for the House from that district was assured his friends started a campaign for his eleva tion to the Speakership. Lonergan is one of the most aggressive mem bers the House has had for many years and is a veteran member of that organization with several terms to his credit. He has already been honored by election to the Speak ership, however, which fact is held by many to constitute an effective barrier to his election at the forth coming session, assuming that he is successful in the fall election. Earl Hill of Lane county, who bare ly nosed out a win In the primaries, is held by many to be the logical choice for Speaker at the forthcom ing session and has many friends in the House line-up in both camps who can be expected to stand by him to the last ditch. A third con tender for the honor looms in the person of Ernest R. Fatland of Condon who has distinguished him self for his constructive leadership in the past two sessions. All of this, of course, assumes the return of the Republican party to domination of the Houe. Demo cratic candidates, however, are ad mitting no such eventuality and are quietly proceeding with plans of their own for organizing the next House. In this camp, too, there are plenty of aspirants for the Speakership. O. Henry Oleen of Columbia county has let it be known that he Is in a receptive mood. Oleen is one of the few Democrats whose experience in the House antedates the deluge of 1934 which swept the minority party in to control. Vernon D. Bull of La Grande is understood to be ambi tious to become a full-fledged gavel wielder and a number of the young er democrats are reported to be willing that the mantle of Speaker ship fall on their shoulders, includ ing Moore Hamilton of Medford and Harry Boivin of Klamath Falls. All of which, of course, is entire ly premature inasmuch as the No vember election may change the entire picture, but, too, it might rob some of the aspirants of the chance of running for the Speaker ship, hence the rush to get into the limelight before the curtain falls. Prison authorities of today are not so much concerned with ways and means of keeping men inside the walls as they are with keeping them outside, according to James P. Davis of the new federal board on prison industries. Davis was in Salem this week to confer with Governor Martin and prison offi cials on prison problems. The fed eral government is now sending only one out of every ten first of fenders to prison, Davis said. The other nine are released under pa role or on probation. Many states are also inclining toward this pol icy. Some states are providing large farms on which prisoners are employed under an honor system. Oregon's prison industries problem is not nearly so serious as that in many states, Davis said. A thor ough study of the situation here will be made later this year before any recommendations are made for new industries. Many of the larger Oregon em ployers are paying their contribu tions to the unemployment compen sation fund under protest So far, however, none has refused to pay for to attack the act in the courts.

A ruling by Attorney General Van Winkle to the effect that the board of control can allow no more than a five percent differential in throwing state business to Oregon concerns may interfere with the board's desire to protect local In dustries from outside competition for state requirements. Sherman county was first In with official election returns this year. Canvassing of the primary vote will not be completed before June 15, according to Secretary of State Snell. . Circulation of books by Oregon libraries not Including the state library during 1935 totalled 5,342, 557 volumes, according to a com pilation just completed by Miss Harriet C. Long, state librarian. That means an average of five books for every resident of the state. On the other hand, with only 1,181,735 volumes in the libraries of the state it means that each book was borrowed an average of five times during the year. Nine of the 47 agricultural in structors employed in the high schools of Hawaii came from Ore gon, according to W. W. Beers, su pervisor of agricultural education in the territory, who was a Salem visitor this week. Many Oregon men who have gone to the islands to take teaching positions have graduated Into better paying jobs with large Industrial concerns, Beers said. Life insurance companies wrote 48,134 new policies in Oregon last year, representing $61,041,252 in new insurance, according to the annual report of Hugh H. Earle, insurance commissioner. Insurance in force in this state at the end of FRESH FRUITS and Vegetables give Springtime zest to our menu. Fresh Strawberries with rich cream or in delicious shortcake Fried Chicken Elkhorn Restaurant ED CHINN, Prop. 1935, the report shows, aggregated $615,859,503. TWenty-three traffic fatalities in Oregon during April boosted the year's score to a total of 77, or two more than for the same period in 1935. Nine of the victims were pe destrians. By a strange coincidence the number of injuries during Ap ril, totalling 434, was identically the same as that for April, 1935. Of the 958 men and women in the Oregon penitentiary 131 are life termers, records at the prison show. One of these, Calvin Judy of Doug las county, has been in the prison for searly 42 years, being received in 1893. Most of the "lifers" are doing time for murder. Eleven of them were sentenced as habitual criminals, five of these being sent up from Clackamas county. More than 22,000 requests have been received by the new travel bureau of the state highway de partment for information on scenic trips within the state. Eight thous and of the requests came from mo torists who visited the state last year. The rest come from "foreign ers" in other states who are plan ning their first visit to Oregon, One of the entries la the state capitol contest was Insured for $20,000. The average cost of pre paring the designs for the contest is said to be well above $1000. At that rate the state got the benefit of more than $100,000 of architect ural effort through the contest. SCHOOL HAS SOCIAL. Rocky Bluff school raised $35 for the purchase of a piano at a pie social and program held Wednesday evening, May 20. Henry Baker was auctioneer, and Miss Zelda Wolfe, teacher, directed the pro gram. Pupils of Gooseberry school assisted with the program. Pupils participating were, Gooseberry, Clinton Ztoter, Laurel Warfleld, Norris Thompsen, Norman Roland, Dorothy Bergstrom and Thelma Nelson; Rocky Bluff, Joyce, Clif ford, Bobby and Mildred Carlson, David, Clarence, Betty and Helen Faye Baker, Henry Peterson, Jr., Marjorie Peterson, Eunice and Don ald Peterson. Land Bank Loans Help Pay Delinquent Taxes Oregon farmers paid off $1,613,100 of back taxes out of loan funds borrowed from the Land bank of Spokane and Land bank commis sioner between May, 1933, and Jan uary of this year, according to fig ures issued this week by E. M. Ehr hardt, bank president. "This-cleanup of tax delinquen cies not only contributed to county and state government financial re covery, but also helped to reduce tax sales to half the 1932 level," President Ehrhardt comments, "sav ing hundreds of farmers from los ing their property." More than 5000 farmers In the state refinanced their debts through the Land bank and Land bank com missioner since the bank became a unit of the Farm Credit adminis tration of Spokane. Out of the $22, 351,000 they borrowed, $1,613,100, or 7.2 per cent, was used to retire de linquent taxes averaging $320 per refinanced farmer. In some cases these tax payments helped save counties from threatened insolvency and helped bring them back on a cash basis. Other creditors likewise benefitted from liquidation of over due accounts out of loan proceeds. "At the same time Oregon farm ers so refinanced now face the fu ture with increased hope of working their way out of debt by having their obligations rewritten on a sound business basis under more favorable terms of repayment," Mr. Ehrhardt emphasizes. "Their mort gage loansare now based on the normal valuation, or debt-paying power, of their farms, with pay ments spread over a long term of years at reasonable Interest rates." STATE PRESIDENT HERE. The state president of the Busi ness and Professional Womens club is In the city today, meeting with the local club at a noon luncheon at Hotel Heppner. Ladies Christian Missionary so ciety of the Christian church will hold a cooked food sale of cakes, pies, salads, cottage cheese, etc., at Huston's Grocery beginning at 10 o'clock tomorrow (Friday). Miss Phyllis Pollock expects to leave the first of next week for Chi cago where she will spend the summer. W. H. French was in town Tues day from Blue Mountain farm south of Hardman.
