PAROLE SLATED
Gordon L. Bchermerhom, former
sheriff of Jackaon county, serving
t three-year term In state prison
on conviction of ballot theft, is
scheduled to receive a parole within
the next month, according to au
thoritative word received In this
elty. Bchermerhom entered the pen
itentiary August IB, 1934, and will
be eligible under the parole laws
when that date next rolls around.
It Is understood that the state
board will act favorably upon Scher
merhorn 's application and that the
sttorney-general will not protest Its
granting.
Schermerhorn when committed to
the state prlnon, was given assur
ances by the coxirt and the assist
nt attorney-general that he would
be granted freedom after hs had
served six months. That dats would
have expired last January. The par
ole board then held, Schermerhorn
would have to serve one-third of
his sentence, ere a parole could be
granted.
Schermerhorn since his Incarcera-
41on has been a model prisoner, em
ployed In the prison butchershop.
The expected reiense of Schermer
horn would leave but two of the
ballot-theft defendants In the pen
itentiary Walter J. Jones of Rogue
River, and Earl H. Pehl, each serv-:
lng four year terms. Two applies-1
Hons for parole by Jonea have been
denied. He was an "allbi-wttnesa"
for Banks in the latter's trial fori
murder at Eugene. Fehl has had his
request for liberty denied the same
number of times. Protests have neen
filed from this county against
parole for Fehl except upon the
condition that he not return to this
county during Its duratton.
If Jones and Fehl serve their full
time, they will be released next
April.
No protests have been filed against
, parole for Schermerhorn at any
time from this county.

may travel afar.

Vote Comes Quickly
Ths vote came quickly today after
the subject had been debated for two
hours Saturday.
LaPtollette'a proposal was opposed
vigorously by Chslrman Smith, (D.,
8. C), of the senate agricultural com
mittee, which had atrlcken out the
house language entirely. Smith de
clared It was an expansion of the
"protective" system which he had al
ways opposed.
Senators McNary and Steiwer voted
for the LaFolletts amendment.
Ths vols came after parliamentary
maneuvers In which several adminis
tration leaders joined In sn effort to
get ths smendment to conference
with ths house In some form as s
means of avoiding further delay.
Seventeen democrats voted against
ths Import quotas while 38 democrats.
20 republicans, one progressive snd
one farmer-laibor supported them.
Long Has Say
Ths proposal to let It go to confer
ence with the house without further
debate waa apreed upon after the
senate accepted a ruling by the vice
president that the conferees would
be required to bring back "some kind
of an amendment" along the lines
sought by both branches.
Senator Long, D., La.), put In that
"I am not in favor of legislating any
further power to the president," add
ing that before he would surrender
the senate authority to legislate he
would "resign snd be put on the re
lief rolls, where I would belong."
Under the LaFollette amendment,
the president would be empowered,
after an Investigation by the tariff
commission, to Impose quotas on
farm products from any nation. Any
country which voluntarily restricted
its shipment to this country to AO
per cent of the 1028-U33 average
would not be subject to the quota
restriction, however.
The vote came after Senator Van
denberg (R., Mich.), had submitted
figures to Indicate that imports had
increased in the case of corn by 6.100
per cent from 1 30 bushels I n the
first quarter of 1932 to 4.000.000 or
more bushels in the first quarter of
1935 butter from 127.000 pounds in
the first quarter of 1934 to 8.538.000
pounds In the first quarter of 1935.

"B. 0." CONFESSION
"T EARN my living: soiling: books," this woman writes,
JL "a very fine set for children. Successful at first,
I found my sales dropping off. I was discouraged, ready
to quit. I talked with my district manager. She gave
me some sales literature which, she said, would help me.
"When I sat down at home to study it, I found
among the printed sheets a page torn from a maga

delicate hint ? Had I become careless ? Anyway, I de
cided to use Lifebuoy and play safe.
"I can see results-already. My sales are picking up.

the good work of telling people it is never wise to
take a chance with 'B. O.' and that Lifebuoy can make
their lives happier and more successful."
