Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
SALEM, where these words are writ
ten, la experiencing ita biennial
thrill.
Every two years the legislature
meets, andhen the legislature meets
interesting and Important and color
ful people descend on Salem lrom all
over the etate and headquarter here
anywhere from a couple of days to a
couple of months. While the legisla
ture la In session. Salem la the center
around which Just about everything
In Oregon revolves.
And how Salem loves It I
AND why not?
For 22 months, Salem, although
the capital city of Oregon. Is Just an
other town. Portland Is the big city
of Oregon, and, capital or no capital,
the Important business of the state,
In ordinary times, la done In Port
land. Most of the state offices, aa a
matter of fact, have branches In
Portland, and nearly all the Impor
tant meetings are held In Portland.
But during the approximate two
montha In which the leglalature la
in session all this la changed, and
Salem comes Into lta own as the real
capital. You cant blame these people
here for liking to see the legislature
assemble.
It's only human to like to be In
the center of things.
MT"e different 'this year, "they're
" all saying. Why? Oh. the depres
sion, of course. Everything, you knew,
u afriu-ted bv the depression.
Fewer people. It is said, are coming
to Salem this year from the far cor
ners. Monev la money, In this partic
ular year, and It costs money to
travel. So a lot of people who have
come to Salem In the past are staying
at home.
Or at least that'a what they are all
.. mi. But the lobbies at the capitol
building seem to have Just? about the
same crowds as in the past.
fflJHLL, maybe eo," Salem people
admit, when thla more or
lew abvlous fact la pointed out to
them, but they add: "Anyway, the
ciowda LOOK different."
The wives and daughters and cous
lna and aunte of the legislators and
the lobbyists and the lookers-on, the
Salem people will tell you, have been
all dressed uo like a horse In the past
but this year they're not putting on
so much dog. They're Just dropping
In In their old clothes "coming ae
they are," In the lauguage of the auto
camps.
It may be true. Still, this writer
haa observed no patchea on the pants
of the men and no frayed edges

looks about like an average crowd.

COLLEGE CLOSING
SEEN IE FURTHER
FUND CUTS MADE
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 30. (fP)
The state board of higher education
today in a. formal statement warned
Oregon that any such "further drastic
reductions" aa proposed by the leg
islature for the schols of higher learn
ing "will mean either closing some o
them, crippling all of them, or both."
The statement Issued today was a
condensed financial statement of the
educational set-up.
The board summarized the situa
tion under ten points. They were:
"1. Higher education in Oregon asks
no special favors of immunity from
retrenchment.
- "3. The six Institutions under the
board are already operating on an in
come 21.5 per cent below the normal
as of the 1929-30 blennlum.
"3. Without further cuts by the
legislature this reduction will be 31 9
per cent for the coming 1933-34 bl
ennlum.
"4. The complete payroll of the in
stitutions has already been reduced
$621,312 in the present blenium.
"5. Further payroll reductions or
dered will bring such cuts to ft 1.525,-
704 for the coming blennlum, or 24 3
per cent reduction under the 1920
30 blennlum.
"6. Salary cuts of 9 to 27 per cent
have been applied to a scale already
lower than the average for the coun
try.
"7. Decrease in expenditures In the
instructional work already parallels
decrease In enrollment.
"8, Continuing appropriations for
agriculture extensions are, automat
ically reduced to match county cua
of 25 to 35 per cent.
"9. Additional slashes now propos
ed 1 nthe legislature would reduce
total income to little more than ha'.f
that of the normal 1929-40 blennlum
"10. The only way to meet such
cuts would be to close some Institu
tions outright or cripple all beyond
the point or recovery for a decade cr
more.'

Moratorium on Farm Mortgages
Topic of
L INQUI
SALEM, Jan. 30. (AP) Governor
Julius L. Meier today took official
cognizance of two problems with
which the legislature . has been
wrestling fir three weeks, a proposal
for moratoriums on farm and home
mortgage foreclosures and the matter
of adopting stricter regulation to
control the charges of smalt loan op
erators.
Concerning a moratorium on mort
gage foreclosures during the period
of the present economic stringency
the governor advised that the law
makers make careful Investigation
Into the legality of declaring such a
moratorium, and if they found that
such 'legislation Is not within their
powers to give careful consideration
to -the suggestion of investing the
courts with authority to require the
taking of full testimony In all fore
closure proceedings.
This, he said, would enable the
courts to accomplish the same end
by establishing a policy of rendering
decision based upon equity in con
sideration of the fact that there are
many who are unable to pay, by rea
son of circumstances beyond their
control, yet are threatened with loss
of their property.
Drastic legislation to curb the ac
tivities of "unscrupulous lenders,"
particularly those operating under
the statute which permits loans of
less than $30 without maximum In
terest or other considerations, is ad
vocated. SALEM, Jan. 30 (AP) Measures
introduced in the house today, num
bered 31 while only three were pre-.
Rented in the senate, ranging from
definitions of legal terms to major
changes in the school laws of the
state and providing tax on malt and
wort. Only three bills were passed
by the house while the senate cleared
Its calendar of one memorial. Gover
nor Julius L. Meier's special message
to the legislature was read in the
house, presented Just before noon ad
journment It will be read In the
senate. His message urged legislation
to afford relief of bona fide residents
of mortgage foreclosures, and urging
limit to interest rates charged by
loan companies for small loans.
Two of the measures passed by the
house would exclude any from voting
on tax measures and bond Issues but
real and property tax payers. Con
siderable debate was held on the
measures' concerning the rating of In
come tax payers in this act, It being
interpreted payers of Income, unless
they pay property tax would also be
excluded from voting on these Issues.
The companion bill, both Introduced
by Representative B. F. Nichols would
apply to municipal Issues as well.
Both carried by safe majorities ,

FOR R.F.C. FUNDS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. (A P)
President Hoover today awaited
a report from his aides on the
900.000,000 crop loan bill before
expressing his formal approval or
disapproval of the measure.
The bill was being studied also
by the budget bureau and by
Secretary Hyde.
Sponsors have predicted the
president would approve the bill.
Under It. the secretary of agri
culture would loan tlie full
900,000,000 to Individual farmers
for use In producing 1033 crops,
taking as security a first lien on
the crop. -
Further hope that the fruit indus
try of the Rogue river valley will
celve funds for the production of the
1033 crop was contained in a telegram
received thla morning by Ben E. Har
der, president of the First National
bank, from Senator Charles E. Mc-
Nary.
Senator McNary's telegram ii as fol
lows: .
"Ben E. Harder, Medford, Ore.
"Letter received and am labor
ing with the chief of the agricul
tural credit corporation to make
loans for production of fruit '
' . crops with crops as security. Have
several--times conferred with Mr.
Hovey, chief of the corporation
which Is -a part of the Recon-.
st ruction Finance Corporation,
and will also cooperate with Mr.
- Towle as I am familiar with the
situation, and In deep sympathy
with your desires."
The aid of Senator Stelwer, ' and
other members or the Oregon cong
ressional delegation have also been
enlisted.
The estimated maximum amount
for the handling of the Rogue valley
fruit crop has bscn fixed at 9750,000.
and would be used for all phases id
the crop production, including pack
ing. Distribution of the money, if ob
tained would be throutfh federal
agencies, cooperating with local la
te rests and fruitmen.
It has been Intimated that the -curing
of the money will not be dif
ficult or delayed, once the agricul
tural credit corporation has been as
sured of the merit of the loan.
If secured It would brighten the
horticultural h or iron, enabling many
orchardists to grow and harvest their
crops, and Improve local labor con
dtons. An effort wll be made to have the
funds, if granted, available for early
spring orchard activities. '
HILLSBORO BLAZE
DESTROYS LARGE
HILLSBORO, Ore., an. 30, (AP)
A fire, said to have been the most
disastrous In the history of this city
razed the-Commercial building hre
Sunday and caused damage estimated
at nearly $100,000.
The structure, located at Second
and Main streets, housed a grocery
store, dry goods store, meat market
and other business firms on the
ground floor and lawyers and doctors
offices above.
Starting In the rear of MacMarr's
store at 1:15 a. m., the flames broke
through the north wall Into Miller's
dry goods store and from there swept
up to the second floor and on to the
roof. Stubbornly resisting the efforts
of the local and Forest Grove depart
ments, the fire burned throughout
the day.
Loss of a large part of the law
library of E. B. Tongue, who was
district attorney of Washington
county for more than a quarter of a
century and of Thomas Tongue, Jr
referee in bankruptcy, could not be
definitely estimated. The library was
started by Thomas Tongue, Sr.,
when he began practice in 1860 and
contained thousands of volumes,
some now out of print and lrreplac
able. The building, a two-story brick
structure, waa owned principally by
Ed Sehulrrteiich, president of the
Commercial National bank. It was
valued at $48,000, but Insurance of
only $19,000 waa carried on It.
