o State Sewage
o Recall Chuckles
o Returning Guard
By A. L. LINDBECK
Salem. Plans for a sewage dis
posal plant to meet the needs of
the several state institutions in and
around Salem are being considered
by the Board of Control.
For years the sewage from these
institutions has been dumped into
the Willamette river and other
streams, polluting the waters and
creating a serious menace to fish
life as well as rendering the streams
unfit for recreational purposes, es
pecially in the late summer months
when the water is low.
With a population of more than
6000 inmates and employees in the
state institutions in the Salem dis
trict the problem of sewage disposal
has reached proportions akin to that
confronting several of the state's
smaller cities such as Albany, The
Dalles and Bend.
Two courses are open to the state.
One involves the construction of
separate disposal plants by the state.
The other includes cooperation with
the city of Salem in the construction
of a plant large enough to meet the
needs of both the city and the state.
Preliminary estimates by competent
engineers indicate that the latter
plan will not only be much cheaper
for the state both in first cost and
maintenance, but will also provide
a more efficient operation of the
plant.
The Board has designated a com
mittee to negotiate with the city
officials who are submitting a bond
issue for financing a disposal plant
to the voters this fall. Any plan
adopted by the Board, of course,
will be subject to approval by the
legislature when it convenes next
January.
The threat of officials of Common
Sense, Inc., to recall Governor Spra
gue for his refusal to dismiss J. J.
Hague, state liquor administrator
whose outspoken opposition to pro
posed repeal of the Knox act offend
ed the Commonsensers met with only
a hearty chuckle in state house cir
cles. Now that the liquor control
board has not only refused to fire
Hague but has actually given him
a pat on the back for his zeal in
defending the present system of li
quor control the next move appears
to be up to the repealers.
Oregon will eat its Thanksgiving
turkey this year on the day which
President Roosevelt chooses to des
ignate. Governor Sprague this week
said that he would follow the lead
set by the president in his procla
mation. It is understood that the
date will be November 21, or one
week earlier than the last Thursday
according to precedent established
last year.
The pioneer atop Oregon's capitol
was given his annual foot bath this
week when workmen applied a coat
of fresh paint to the pedestal on
which the figure is mounted. The
paint is said to have obliterated
much lipstick art work applied to
the pedestal by visitors who have
made the long climb to the top of
the building. It did not, however,
remove the numerous initials carved
into the stone by the more serious
artists.
Oregon judges are beginning to
crack down a little more severely
on traffic law violators if reports
compiled by Secretary of State Snell
are any criterion. During the first
seven months of 1940 a total of 943
Oregon motorists were deprived of
thedr licenses through suspensions
and revocations compared to 692 for
the same period in 1939, an increase
of 40 percent.
Oregon's 4000 national guardsmen
who returned to their homes over
the week end following three weeks
of intensive training at Camp Mur
ray, Wash., will go back into ser
vice again, this time as members of
the U. S. army on September 15, ac
cording to announcement from
Heppner
Washington, D. C.
In addition to the troops of the
186th and 162nd infantry and 218th
field artillery regiments it is also
expected that the mobilization call
soon to be issued by President
Roosevelt will also include the newly
created anti-aircraft and searchlight
units of the 249th. artillery corps.
Site for the mobilization of the
guard, which will include the entire
41st division Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Wyoming and Montana troops
will be at Camp Murray from
where the troops have just returned
and where temporary wooden bar
racks will be built at once for the
accommodation of the soldiers.
Because of the fact that no enlist
ments will be accepted for the na
tional guard following mobilization
members with only a few months of
their enlistments yet to run are be
ing advised to ask for immediate
discharges for the purpose of re
enlisting. This suggestion is of par
ticular interest to men of draft age
who desire to remain with their
present outfits. Draftees, it is point
ed out, will have no choice of units
with which to serve.
All state institutions with the pos
sible exception of the state prison,
will close the current biennium with
unexpended balances to turn back
into the general fund, according to
Budget Master David Eccles. The
penitentiary is expected so close the
biennium without the necessity of
appealing to the emergency board
for more funds but will have no
surplus. 'Eccles says that budgets so
far submitted by state institutions
call for only nominal increases to
meet increased populations, except
the capital outlays which are being
submitted to the board of control
for security and approval or disap
proval. Many of the institutions are
badly in need of new buildings and
other improvements, most of which
could be financed during the cur
rent biennium now that the capitol
and library buildings are built and
paid for except for the increasing
needs for social security, especially
old age pensions and direct relief.
State Treasurer Pearson had to
borrow another $100,000 this week
to keep the relief budget on a cash
basis. Liquor profits continue to
lag behind relief outgo. It is expect
ed outstanding liquor certificates
issued to underwrite these loans will
approximate $1,000,000 by the first
of the year.
Oregon has its machinery all ready
to set in motion if and when selec
tive service is adopted as a national
policy. A group of, national guard
officers under the supervision of
Lieutenant Colonel E. V. Wooten of
the adjutant general's office has
been busy for the past three weeks
completing preparations for the reg
istration and classification of all men
in the state within the draft age
limits.
Said to be the shortest municipally
owned and operated railroad in the
world, the City of Prineville railway
is to have a new oil-burning loco
motive and make a lot of improve
ments on its system. The expendi
ture has received the approval of
Public Utilities Commissioner O. R.
Bean. The ailroad extends 22 miles
from the city of Prineville to . a
junction with the Oregon Trunk
railway near Redmond.
(
Veterans Loyal, But
Too Old to Enlist
Regular army recruiting officers
have received innumerable applica
tions for enlistment during recent
weeks from veterans of the last war
who again want to volunteer to serve
their country, according to Lieuten
ant Colonel H. D. Bagnall, Oregon
recruiting officer. The applications
usually have to be rejected.
"We certainly hate to dissapoint
anyone wanting to enlist for the
service," Colonel Bagnall said, "but
in the case of these veterans there
isn't much else we can do, because
they don't qualify under present age
limitations."
Applicants for enlistment must
be single citizens between 18 and
35, physically and mentally fit and
of good character.
