SCHEFFEL NAMED
AS COUNTY AIDE
Fred W. Scheffel, city euperlnten
dent, will represent the roads and
highways committee of the Jackson
County Chamber of Commerce at a
meeting of the state highway com
mission, to be held In Portland to
morrow, It was announced yesterday
by A. 8. V. Carpenter, chairman of
the chamber's roads and highways
committee.
Mr. Scheffel will take with him the
resolution adopted last week by
southern Oregon chambers of com
merce regarding the expenditure of
funds for primary highways, wherein
It Is suggested that these funds be
devoted to the Blsklyous.
. Ho will also present Medford'a
claim for funds from secondary high
ways for the Little Butte creek road
which will give a direct connection
between this city and Klamath Palls.
This highway would not only be a
great deal shorter, but would afford
an opportunity for a greater Inter
change of products between Klamath
and Jackson county.
Cetaln monies have been allocated
for municipalities on the main high
ways, and in this connection. Mr.
Scheffel will also urge that Medford
obtain Its share of this allotment.
SALEM. June 30. (AP) Delega
tions representing virtually every
section of the state will appear be
fore the state highway commission
In Portland Monday to plead their
cause for a share of the 3.007.814
appropriated for highway work In
Oregon under the Cartwrlgnt mil
recentlv naesed by congress.
The commission will meet at the
public service building for what was
believed would be a two-day session
to consider the projects upon which
the money would be expended. The
commission's program Includes many
projects, but the purpose of this
session Is to determine which should
be placed at the top of the list.
Bids on one project, the under
crossing on the Pacific highway near
Ashland, will be opened at the be-
ginning of the Monday meeting. The
project was expected to cost about
5",000.

NAMING NEW HEAD
OF LI
PORTLAND, June 30. (AP) Gov
ernor Meier today continued to give
consideration to trie matter of sel
ecting a member of the Oregon liquor
control commission to succeed George
H. McMorran of Eugene who on
Thursday night resigned his post at
the governor's request.
Declaring he had been too busy
to reach a definite decision, the
governor said he would appoint a
successor to McMorran "In a few
days." He still refused to comment
on the letter the Eugene man sent
him with the resignation or to make
a statement as to why the resignation
was demanded. ,
Meanwhile Aaron Holtz, who was
temporary organizer for the commis
sion, entered the controversy with
the declaration that a reference In
McMoran's letter to the governor
was "Just another attempt to make
me 'the goat',"
McMorran was told the governor,
without naming Holtz, that "a man
you insisted be placed at the head
of the commission's buying depart
ment" was responsible "for early pur
chases of stock which could not be
moved." The retiring chairman had
said that this deal was the only "bad
business" venture of which the com
mission could be accused.
Holtz wrote to McMorran that he
was "somewhat shocked to note . . .
your statement that the major part
of the grief experienced by the Ore
gon state liquor control commission
was due to the unsatisfactory pur
chases originally made for the ac
count of the state. The facts of the
situation do not bear out the truth
of this statement, as . . . fully 90
per cent of the best selling brands
on your shelves were arranged for
during my short term of employment
In the state activity."

followed along late, reluctantly, or
not at all. The insiders say John
son is to be the single exception to
the general rule against Indorsing
republicans.
What to do about the prospect
that the prominent socialist, Upton
Sinclair, may win the democratic
gubernatorial nomination Is another
question. The administration does
not want to get a socialist label,
because there has been too much
talk about Roosevelt policies tending
toward socialism.

RELIEF PROBLEMS
PORTLAND, June 30. (AP) The
total- of 30,000 families now being
cared for by the Oregon vltef com
mittee may possibly be Increased to
50.000 thla winter.
This was one of the estimates sub
mitted to the committee at Its Fri
day meeting here, at which a gen
eral relief budget of 91.200.000 was
approved for next month.
The waterfront strike is affecting
every county in Oregon, It was said
by Ivan B. White, field Investigator
for the federal relief administration,
and because of the strike employes
in many unrelated lines of work are
without Jobs since many mills and
factories have shut down because of
Inability to ship the finished product
or to obtain necessary supplies.
About 975,000 of next month's bud
get will be used for drilling wells
In drought stricken areas in east
ern and central Oregon. About $120.
000 will go for the purchase of ma
terials. The number of white-collar and
skilled employment relief cases will
Increase largely if employment con
ditions do not materially improve In
the next six months. White said.
"This is especially true." he observed,
"In the up-state counties as the dif
ferential between the 7.4 per cent
of the up-state population on the
relief roll and the 20 per cent In
Multnomah county la accounted for
in great part by the fact that very
few of the artisans are professionally
employed are now on the roll.'
