High Relief Costs.
Utility Districts
Highway Funds
By A. L. L.INDBECK
SALEM. Overhead costs absorb
22 cents out of every relief dollar
spent in Oregon according to Wal
lace S. Wharton, executive secre
tary to Governor Martin and head
of the state budget department. In
a report on the administration of
direct relief in this state Wharton
attacked the overhead costs as ex
cessive, pointing out that the State
Industrial Accident commission,
whose activities he declared to be
comparable to those of the State
Relief committee, operated on an
overhead cost of only 3.5 percent.
During the five months ending
May 31 Wharton pointed out, a to
tal of $1,328,926.30 had been spent
on direct relief in Oregon including
S2tf2,277.(l In administrative ex
penses. The cost of administering
relief in the various counties range
from 9.211 percent in Hood River
county to as high as 60.1 percent in
Jefferson county. Overhead costs
of relief in other counties are shown
In Wharton's report as follows: Ba

State Treasurer Holman this week
served notice that he proposes to
renew his fight for the pooling of
state owned automobiles at the next
legislative session. Under this plan
all state owned cars would be kept
in a central garage and sent out on
call from state employees and of
ficials. The plan would reduce the
number of state cars. The proposal
was defeated by a narrow margin
at the last legislative session.
Sponsors of peoples' utility dis
tricts in Oregon have until mid
night of Saturday, September 12, to
file their completed petitions In or
der to get their proposals on the
November ballot, according to C. E.
Stricklin, state engineer. Informa
tion received here is to the effect
that petitions are being circulated
in both Marion and Linn counties.
No indication has been received
that sponsors of the proposed super-district
comprising seven coun
ties of northwestern Oregon, are
pushing their proposal.
Governor Martin did not attend
the meeting of his Relief commit
tee in Portland as he had an
nounced that he would. His ad
visors are understood to have con
vinced the chief executive that in
this partieular instance discretion
would be the better part of valor
and persuaded him to steer clear
of the session to which he sent
Budget Director Wharton.
Records of the state prison show
that of the 62 minor felons now in
carcerated in that institution four
are serving life terms two for
murder and two others for Vobbery
while aimed with a deadly weapon,
Six other youthful convicts are
serving long terms for crimes of
violence. Thirty-one of the young
felons had prison records before
entering the Oregon, penitentiary,
Sixteen of them had served terms
In county Jails some as many as
three. Seventeen had been Inmates
of training schools. Two had done
time In reformatories and ten had
served in other penitentiaries. At
least two of the young criminals
had seen the inside of county jails,
training schools and other peniten
tiaries before entering the "big
house" at the end of State street.
One of the youngsters, under a two
year sentence, is only 15 years of
age. Five of the boys are 17 years
of age, fifteen are 18 years of age,
nineteen are 19 years of age, and
21 have passed their 20th birthday.
Now that the floor plans of the
new capitol have been revised to
the satisfaction of all concerned
drafting of the building plans is ex
pected to go forward rapidly. Un
der the revised plans the new build
ing will have corridors running the
full length of the two wings with
entrances at both ends of the build
ing as well' as at the front. Four
of the proposed nine elevators and
a number of stairways have also
been eliminated -in the interest of
economy in operation as well as in
construction costs.
Only three boys have been trans
ferred from the state prison to the
boys' training school at Woodburn
so far under the order issued by
Governor Martin a week ago. Se
lection of the boys for transfer was
made by Warden Lewis of the pris
on, Superintendent Laughlin of the
boys' school and E, M. Duffy, state
parole officer. All admit that the
plan is in the sature of an experi
ment. Additional transfers will
probably be made soon although it
is not expected that many of the
young criminals now in the peni
tentiary will be sent to the Wood
burn school.
Dr. R. Lee Steiner, superinten
dent of the state hospital, was wear
ing a plaster on his nose this week
as the result of an attack by Dr. R.
Bywater, formerly of Grants Pass,
now confined in the criminal insane
ward of the Salem institution. By
water struck Steiner in the face as
the superintendent was talking to
him while making his rounds of
the hospital. Bywater, who was
committed to the institution three
years ago has been confined in the
criminal ward , for the past two
years and is regarded as one of the
most dangerous wards in the cus
tody of the institution.
Jack Allen of Pendleton is being
mentioned as a possible successor
to Elmer Goudy as state relief ad
ministrator in the event of a shake
up in the relief organization as has
been predicted. Allen was former
ly state senator from Umatilla
county and more recently was state
liquor administrator.
Acquisition of the four residen
tial blocks bordering on Summer
street and directly north of the site
of the new capitol would cost the
state more than $500,000 it is esti
mated here based upon the assessed
valuation of this property. The
capitol architects have recommend
ed acquisition of this property as
necessary to a well rounded con
struction program.
A total of $218,436,067 has been
spent on Oregon highways under
the supervision of the state high
way department since that depart
ment was created in 1917. Of this
total $169,809,956 came out of state
funds, $32,359,830 was provided by
the federal government, $15,590,541
was contributed by the several
counties and $675,740 came from
miscellaneous sources.
The right of counties and cities
to retain traffic fines growing out
of arrests by state police is to be
determined in a friendly suit to be
instituted by State Treasurer Hol
man against Multnomah county.
Smallest County Bills Big Show
Gold Beach. Curry county's 4th
annual lamb and wool show is
scheduled for this city July 25 when
a full program will be carried out
from early morning to past mid
night. Founded to promote the
sheep industry of Curry county by
increasing interest in improved pro
duction and marketing practices,
this show has drawn increased in
terest annually until last year more
than 1000 persons were served at
the big outdoor free lunch. The
fair board expects to have between
200 and 400 lambs on display for

AAA Weed Control Rules
Require Prompt Filing
Utmost speed in filing the location
and description of land, to be in
cluded in weed control projects un
der the new agricultural conserva
tion program will be needed to
qualify for soil building payments
this year, according to announce
ment by the Oregon State college
extension service. Detailed rules
governing weed control operations
as a soil building practice have been
received for Oregon and distribut
ed to county agents.
Theae rules provide that in order
to qualify for the $5 per acre pay
ments for clean cultivation control,
and $10 for chemical control, de
scription of the plots must be filed
with the county committee before
work is begun and within 15 days
from the date the regulations were
issued, which was on June 20.
This will make the deadline for
filing about July 5 or 6, depending
on whether Sundays and holidays
are counted. In any event, prompt
action is urged. Actual work on
cultivation projects must also be
started by that time, though chem
ical projects may be begun between
now and the fall rainy season. In
some cases growers have started
cultivation control of perennial
weeds in advance of the receipt of
the rules. In that case the descrip
tion and location are to be filed any
time within the 15-day limit men
tioned. ,
Minimum area of a weed control
project is a quarter acre, though
this need not be all in a single
patch. Chemicals may be applied
dry or as a spray.
The AAA expects to give full co
operation in enforcement of mar
keting agreements, according to H.
R. Tolley, administrator of the
Triple A, who was in California
recently studying the working out
of the market agreement program
there.
"California deciduous tree fruit
growers under the terms of their
agreements and order are showing
a determined spirit in meeting the
problems of their industry," said
Tolley. "They deserve the full sup
port of the AAA in their efforts to
have recourse to the courts if nec
essary to get enforcement of the
plain and reasonable terms of the
agreement. It is our intention to
give them such support."
OSC Keeps Lodell, Scott
To Pilot Sport Program
Oregon State College, Corvallis.
Plans for the coming year's sports
program for the Orangemen were
thrown into high gear after a per
iod of "idling" with the announce
ment by the new athletic board that
Carl Lodell will continue as manager-director
on indefinite appoint
ment and that George Scott, alum
ni secretary, will give part-time ser
vice as assistant manager.
Approval was also given for the
employment on a full-time basis of
a freshman coach who will handle
all four major freshman sports.
Final appointment of the new coach
was delayed for a time pending
completion of detailed financial
budgets, though negotiations were
carried on to obtain the services of
a man who could strengthen the
Rook sport program, recently de
pendent on constantly changing
personnel.
Meanwhile the new board and the
manager announced the continu
ance of the present major varsity
sports staff. These include Lon
Stiner, head footbal coach; "Slats"
Gill, basketball and baseball coach;
Jim Dixon and Hal Moe, assistant
football coaches.
Addition of Scott to the manager's
office completes a closer relation
ship between the campus athletic
program and alumni interests, and
affords the part-time services of
one well known throughout , state
high school athletic circles. He was
formerly a star half back on the
Beaver team and later coach at Ba
ker high school.
The Staters are facing probably
their most inclusive coast schedule

While there were a number of

was said, would be dangerous re

Reorganization was made neces

V2 Rate on Lank Bank
Loans Extended to 1937
Temporarily reduced interest on
Land bank loans will continue for
one more year at 3V4 per cent to all
members of national farm loan as
sociations, President E. M. Ehr
hardt of the bank at Spokane was
informed today by Land Bank Com
missioner A. S. Goss of Washing
ton, D. C.
Commissioner Goss explained that
President Roosevelt signed a bill
June 25 extending the temporary Shi
per cent rate until June 30, 1937, on
all loans which have been made
through and guaranteed by na
tional farm loan associations. Bor
rowers who have obtained loans di
rect from the bank will pay a re
duced rate of 4 per cent until June
30, 1937.
"Continuation of the 3 per cent
rate for another year to national
farm loan association members
takes the place of the 4 per cent
rate that would have prevailed for
the coming year and the succeeding
year," Commissioner Goss wired
President Ehrhardt "Under the
law as now amended Land bank
borrowers on July 1, 1937, will re
sume interest payments at the rates
at which their loans were original
ly written.
"Farmers who obtain loans now
at the prevailing 4 per cent contract
rate will also get the benefit of the
3 per cent temporary reduction
for all interest installments payable
in the one-year period ending June
30, 1937, but after that date will
pay 4 per cent for the entire dura
tion of their loans."
The temporary interest reduction
applies on approximately $2,000,000,
000 of loans which have been closed
through national farm loan asso
ciations during the nearly 20 years
the Land bank system has been In
operation. It effects a substantial
saving for nearly 40,000 northwest
farmers who have financed their
mortgages cooperatively through
the Land bank of Spokane.
