SALEM, Not. 23. (AP) Transient
relief depots will be established At

ath Palls, Clarence Reynolds, director
of transient relief for Oregon, an
nounced here yesterday.
Some supervisory aid from the fed.

de Mlnto or Salem's flophouse, would
continue to depend mainly on local
support. ,
Young men who apply for food and
lodging will be contacted by an ad
visor. He will arrange for them either
to return to their home cities or go
to a transients' camp to be estab
lished at the Cedars, former detention
home at Portland.
It Is the policy of the transient re
lief director to place depots, one to
a county. Ashland, being the logical
point In Jackson county for such
station, has therefore been chosen In

no depot here. Ashland will serve the
complete territory.

that practically the same transients

BEFORE SOLONS IN
LAW CHANGE PLEA
8ALBM, Not. 22. (p) JSmall truck
ers, many dressed In their work
clothes, tporteated the bus and truck
law before a Joint senate and house
roads and highways committee of the
legislature yesterday afternoon.
The hearing will be continued to
day with some large trucking Inter
ests expected to champion the law,
or at least most of It,
Mors than 300 smill truckers an-
pet red after parldlng through Salem
with thlr truck displaying placards
stating their demands. Logging camp
parlance frequently sifted Into the
hearing as truckers mentioned pee-
vies, "rigging," donkey engines and
similar terms.
"The present law will make liars
and crooks out of 70 per cent of the
truck owners In Oregon," declared
O. H. Hickman of Salem. He said
on bis two-Wheel trailer truck he
would be forced to pay approximately
3,000 total taxes and fees annually
under the present law. This included
strte and national gasoline taxes. He
told the Associated Press his truck
travels approximately 100,000 miles a
year.
Other objections by truckers and
farmers, not all of whom appeared In
working clothes, were that the law
enforced would throw more than 40,
000 persons on charity, take 10,000
trucks off the highways, that it U lnv
posslbie for many to obtain bond,
that filing of contract destroys the
resiliency of trucking.
