Commission Gone
3 Millions for Relief
Road Tour
By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. With 150 patients on
the waiting lists at Oregon's two
hospitals for the treatment of tu
berculosis victims, State Treasurer
Holman has lauched a drive for the
enlargement of the hospital at The
Dalles. The eastern Oregon Insti
tution, Holman points out, Is "un
balanced" at the present time with
a much larger administrative staff
in proportion to the number of pa
tients, than the Salem Institution.
Predicting a raid on Oregon's
gasoline tax funds at the forthcom
ing legislative session Governor
Martin warns that any diversion of
these funds to other than highway
purposes will be fatal to the state's
road program. Present revenues,
the governor points out, are not
suillcient to maintain state roads,
pay bond principal and interest and
match federal allotments for high
way construction.
School districts which suspend
their " own school must provide
transportation for children of the
district to some other school, the
supreme court held this week In a
case appealed from Union county.
The statutes make it mandatory
upon the suspended district to pro
vide transportation, Justice Camp
bell held, and this duty cannot be
avoided by a vote of the district
The Oregon Soldiers' and Sailors'
commission, created In 1919, Is no
more. Governor Martin abolished
the commission by official procla
mation this week holding that bonus
payments and disability compensa
tion by the federal government had
made the state body unnecessary.
Since its creation the commission
has spent a total of $121,205 In state
funds.
Conferences between the archi
tects and department heads have
resulted In a number of changes In
the floor plans for Oregon's new
capitol building. Among other
things It is understood that four of
the originally planned nine elevat
ors will be eliminated. This will
still leave two elevators for use of
the public and three automatic lifts
for use of the governor and mem
bers of the legislature.
A total of nearly $3,000,000 In
liquor profits has been transferred
to relief purposes to date, accord
ing to the liquor control commis
sion. The last legislature appro.
priated $5,000,000 of liquor profit
for relief with a provision that cer
tificates of indebtedness could be
issued against future profits If the
cash was not available. Governor
Martin has ordered the relief com
mittee to stay on a cash basis and
to confine its monthly budget to
liquor profits averaging approxi
mately $150,000 a month.
A 1700-mile "swing" around east
ern and central Oregon last week
gave Governor Martin and mem
bers of the state highway commis
sion a better understanding of the
term "wide open spaces." The of.
flcials report a much better feeling
in central Oregon over progress on
highways in that section which are
now being treated to a dust palla-
tive. The worst road encountered
on the trip was the Idaho-Oregon-Nevada
cut-off. This road which
extends from Caldwell, Idaho, to
Winnemucca, Nevada, is well 1m
proved in the neighboring states
but Oregon has onl ymade a start
on the 120 miles within its borders.
The road is said to be of but little
importance to Oregon, serving a
local population of fewer than 1000
people in southern Malheur county,
but is of vast Importance to south
ern Idaho, with producers of that
section eagerly awaiting its com
pletion as a short cut to the mar
kets of California.
Workmen engaged in digging test
pits for the new capitol uncovered
an old well 300 feet deep which had
been used to supply water for the
old state house before Salem In
stalled its water system. Excavat
ors experienced much difficulty in
their work, encountering a steady
stream of water at the 15-foot level
which seriously hampered their
work.
From eastern Oregon come re
ports that Clint Haight, Canyon
City newspaperman, may enter the
legislative race as an independent
candidate for state senator from
the twenty-second district com
prised of Grant, Harney and Mal
heur counties. If he does he will
be opposed by Robert M. Duncan,
incumbent republican from Burns,
and Robt. E. Lees of Ontario, dem
ocratic candidate. Haight was de
feated by Walter Pierce for the
democratic nomination for Congress
in the second district but is strong
with the Townsendites who recent
ly elected him as a member of the
national advisory board from Ore
gon.
Governor Martin's proposal to
transfer most of the minors now
serving time in the state peniten
tiary to the training school for boys
has aroused a storm of protest from
persons who are fearful of the bad
influence these older boys might
exert over the younger offenders
at the Woodburn institution. There
are now 62 boys under the age of
21 years at the penitentiary. It is
expected that approximately 40 of
these will be eligible for transfer
under the plan proposed by the
governor who has asked James
Lewis, warden at the prison, and
Sam Laughlin, superintendent of
the boy? school, to select the boys
for transfer. The move, It Is ex
plained, would serve the two-fold
purpose of reducing the rapidly in
creasing prison population and of
segregating the more youthful
criminals from the older criminals
confined In the penitentiary.
The state relief pot which has
been simmering merrily ever since
Governor Martin threw the fat In
the Are two weeks ago Is expected
to come to a full boil at a meeting
of the relief committee in Portland
Friday. The governor has an
nounced his Intention of attending
and subjects to be discussed will
probably Include reduction of the
relief rolls and reductions of over
head costs of relief administration.
Already two members of the relief
committee H. R. Bryson of Eu
gene and Miss Oelia Gavin of The
Dalles have resigned as a result
of Governor Martin's criticisms of
their work and further resignations
are expected. In a public state
ment Saturday the governor reit
erated his insistence that all "chis
elers" be removed from the relief
rolls, declaring that relief funds

Oregon consumers have no cause
for complaint over the high price
of milk. A report filed by Paul C.
Adams, administrator of the Milk
Costrol board, shows that in spite
of the increase of one cent a quart
in the price of milk the price in
Oregon is still below the level of
adjoining states. Under the pool
arrangement, Adams' report shows,
producers in the state's f6ur mar
keting areas Portland, Salem, Eu
gent and Corvallis now receive
$2.34 per 100 pounds for four per
cent milk compared to a price of
11.65 per cwt. a year ago.
Because of a lack of interest in
the proposal to display the college
and university colors on automobile
license plates the plan has been
abandoned by Secretary of State
Snell. The 1937 plates, instead, will
be black numerals on a white back
ground. Besides the black and white
combination will result in a ma.
terial saving over the other color
combinations, Snell explained.
Forty-eight Oregon motorists had
their driver's licenses revoked dur
ing May, 45 for drunken driving.
Thirty-six licenses were suspended.
Self-Held Clothes Aid
Children in Dressing
' Very small children will soon
learn to dress themselves if their
clothes are designed to make dress
ing easy. It Is a matter of roomy
cut, well located openings, and eas
ily managed fastenings, says Mrs.
Maud Morse, extension specialist
In child development and parent
education at Oregon State college.
To begin with, the dress or suit
must have fullness where it is need
ed to prevent tearing and for free
activity. The places to check for
sufficient fullness are across the
chest and shoulders, at the bottom
of girls' dresses, seats of trousers
and panties. Raglan sleeves, stop
ping just above the bend of the el
bow, allow unrestricted arm move
ments in climbing and their roomy
cut helps the child to put on the
blouse or dress unassisted.
Long plackets or openings, wheth
er down the front, at the neck, or on
the side of trousers, greatly facili-
tate dressing, Mrs. Morse points out.

One million head of cattle represent thirty-one

Through Portland stock yards 600,000 head of
livestock will be marketed and shipped this year
and nearly a million and a half more will be
marketed in other parts of the state. The packing
and curing of meat products has brought Portland

When the front placket Is too short
the child has difficulty in pulling
on the garment. The neck opening
should be long enough for the child
to pull the garment over his head
while putting his arms into the
sleeves. For beginners the coat
style blouse of dress is much easier
to manage than a garment that
goes on over the head. An opening
at the back of the neck is practic
ally impossible for a child to fasten
without aid.
The kind and location of the fas
tenings is equally important Large,
flat buttons, which the child's un
trained fingers can find and handle,
are good. There should be pliable
buttonholes that fit the buttons, or
firm crocheted loops. Children also
like to work sliding metal faster
ers. When the neckline is low in
front the child can reach the top
button easily. On boys' suits and
other garments requiring buttons
at the waist in back, two buttons,
placed so as to divide the distance
evenly between the side seams, are
easier for the child to reach, and
tear off less often than a button in
the center of the back.
The fewer the trimming features
to obstruct fastenings, the better.
Instead of collars, flat simulated
collars look well and are comfort
able. Belts can be omitted, especial
ly the kind that must be passed
through loops. Pockets are one
form of trimming which serve a
useful purpose, as they add to the
appearance and give the child a
place for a handkerchief or other
belongings. They should be placed
so that the child's hand slips into
them naturally.
Oregon Leads Nation
In Farm Management
More published reports of re
search projects in farm manage
ment have been issued by the Ore
gon State college experiment station
during the past 10 years than by
any other state in the union with
the possible exception of New York,
a study of literature just made
reveals. Stan McClurg of Portland,
who graduated this June in agri
culture and who is widely known
as one of the football "iron men,"
compiled the list of all such studies
from all experiment stations. The
Oregon projects, mostly federally
financed, covered the results of field
surveys on costs of production and
similar studies of a wide range of
Oregon farm products.
