WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 1 . Demo
cratic moguls are not as upset about
the Gallup poll as you may believe.
Those who are not trying to amtle It
away entirely have a valid excuse for
believing It does not necessarily
mean bad news
for President
Roosevelt.
The only votea
that count are
electoral, not
popular. Dr. Gal
lup 'a latest elec
toral figured
ahowed 276 for
Landon (less
than half of
them listed as
"safe"), and 255
for Mr. Roosevelt
(all but 33 label
ed "safe"). This
division la based
on an expected popular vote of 63
per cent for Roosevelt and 4a per
cent for Landon, exclusive of the In
dependent candidates.
Anyone trying to call the result of
an election on the basis of a mar
gin so narrow la obviously Involved In
a. hazardous undertaking. But the
hazards Increase sharply under the
sample ballot system used by Dr. Oal
lup, who polled only 166.000 voters,
whereas upwards of 40.000,000 per
sons are expected to vote.
The only aafo deduction which wise
politicians are making Is that the re
sult would be close If tho vote were
taken today.
Note Even tho more extensive Lit
erary Digest poll has never been faced
with the necessity of calling a close
election. None has been close since
1916.

STATE'S ATTITUDE
TO
LI
State Utilities Commissioner
Requests Hearing When
AH Phases of Public Need
May Be Brought Out
SALEM, Aug. U. (A) Proposed
railroad activity In Oregon, Involving
four auggested projects, two of which
have been placed formally before the
federal government, caused Prank C.
McColloch, state utilities commission
er, to make a request of the inter-
fitntt; commerce commission today to
hold a hearing In which all phases
coiild be presented.
Calling the hearing, McColloch said
was prompted by the federal agency
referring the application of Grants
Pass, Ore., and Crescent City, Cal.,
for construction of 8l'a miles rail
road between Waters Creek, Ore., and
Crescent City, at an approximate cost
of $7,380,711.
Other projects recently proposed
Include the 90 miles of construction
between Leland, Junction of the
Southern Pacific line, to Port Orford.
This application has already been pre
sented the Interstate commerce com
mission; the cross-state railroad from
Burns In eastern Oregon to the const
by way of Klamath Falls; and the
extension of the railroad from Hum
boldt Bay, Cal., north to Coos Bay
on the coast.
Port Orford a Factor.
The hearing would determine, Mc
Colloch said, what effect the Port
Crford project, known as the Oold
Coast railroad, would have upon the
Crescent City proposal; whether It
was in the public in teres to construct
the Crescent City line; what effect
It would have upon the present
Southern Pacific system; and whether
It would synchronise with the future
needs of the atato of Oregon. ...
The commissioner said Oregon of
ficially did "not desire at this time
to make any representations cither
adverse or favorable to the Crescent
City-Grants Pasa proposal, until after
the formal hearing."

SINCE JULY, 1930
Ity WALTER WARREN.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 11. (AP)
Transactions totaling $2,822,927,000
took placo in 30 Pacific coast cities
during July, a new high for that
month since 1930.
Embracing all kinds of financial,
commercial and industrial payments,
this figure was 14 per cent higher
than the $2,467,151,000 of July last
year.
It gained about 1 per cent over
June, which was about seasonal.
Transactions have run around 20
per cent ahead of last year on the
average during the 7 months of 1936.
The total up to the end of July was
16.6A2.181.000, compared with 15,
803.543.000 In the 1935 .months.
Los Angeles accounted for a greater
volume of check payments than any
other city of the 7 far-western states,
taking the lead from San Francisco
for the second month" this year.
The southern metropolis haa been
forging ahead with steady gains,
while San Francisco has been lagging
behind last year's financial activity In
recent weeks.
All other coast cities were com
fortably ahead of the 1935 month's
financial activity, and all 30 were
able to show greater debits for the
seven months this year than last.
The following table gives debits In
millions of dollars for the first seven

2 CONTRACTS LET
By CITY COUNCIL
FOR ROAD PAVING
Award Goes to C. A. Hartley
After Hearing On Surfac
ing of East Jackson and
Apple Sts Views Voiced
Two paving contracts were awarded
to C. A. Hartley by the council last
night at the conclusion of a public
hearing in city hall. Mr. Hartley waa
previously declared the low bidder.
Tho contracts arc for tho paving
of Apple street from Third to Fifth
street for 94,780.80 and of East Jack
son street from Crater Lake avenue
to Marie street for $4,318.40. It was
calculated by City Superintendent
Fred W. Scheffel that the Apple street
project would run about $200 per 50
foot lot and that the East Jackson
street project would run about HS.SO
per 50-foot lot. The paving In each
case la to be 30 feet wide.
Tho meeting last night was held
to give affected taxpayers an oppor
tunity to express their views in case
costs of the improvement exceeded
their expectations. The property own
era themselves had petitioned the
council to sanction the paving, speci
fying in their petitions a 30-foot sur
face. The cost Is to be assessed against
adjacent property in proportion to
the benefits received.
Opposition Voiced
Several Apple street property own
er -participated in the hearing and
expressed satisfaction after a number
of questions had been answered re
garding costs and manner of assess
ments. Opposition. however, developed
against the paving of East Jackson
street, several property owners con
tending that while they signed the
petition for a 30-foot surface they
were of tho belief that the paving
should bo 36 feet wide because Jack
son street Is destined to be a cross
town artery.
Attorney Otto Frohnmayer appeared
for Lewis Elliott and Ida Elliott Al
len, owners of property at the north
cast corner of East Jackson street and
Crater Lake avenue. Although hesi
tant to protest against any public im
provement, Mr. Frohnmayer said he
objected to the paving on three
grounds: it waa too narrow, the cost
was too high and the property he rep
resented could not absorb any more
assessments.
Wants Wider Surface
D, h. Myers declared opposition to
the width of the pavement, saying
he did not want curbs stuck out In
the roadway only to be pulled up
later when It was found deslrabio to
widen the street to a 38-foot surface.
"I feel it is out of reason," Mr. My
ers sflM. "I don't want it paved unless
It Is 36 feet wide."
When reminded that he had algned
the petition for a 30-foot pavement,
Mr. Myers said he was not aware that
the width had been specified,
Helay Is Seen
Carl A. Gottsche and others agreed
with Mr. Myers regarding the width.
It waa pointed out by C. C. Furnas,
presiding tn tho absence of Mayor
George W. Porter, and City Attorney
Frank P. Farrell that If the pave
ment were to be 36 feet wldo a new
petition would be necessay to com
ply with .egal requirements.
It would require about six weeks
to go through with the legal aspects
and Mr. Hartley stated that It would
then be too late to start any paving
this year.
Mr. Hartley said a 38-foot surface
would only place greater cost upon
the property owners when a 30-ffot
pavement is all that Is needed. He
emphas'.Trd that crater Lake avenue,
which carries a heavy volume of traf
fic, is only 30 feet wide.
Withdraw Objections
Mr. Oottschc and others then with
drew their objection and declared
their approval of a 30-foot pavement.
Mr. Frohnmayer, however, remained
siient while Mr. Myers continued ada
mant, insisting the pavement should
be 36 feet wide
The councilmen then talked of sug
gesting that a new petition be sub
mitted b-jt attain the delay waa con
sidered unfair to those who wanted
the paving done this year. It was
pointed out that Mr. Hartley's bide
were contingent upon h!s receiving
both contracts and that any de.ay
on East Jackpon wouJd also hold up
the Apple street paving.
Councilman W. P. Awn-art thin t
clared that vhtJe he preferred to sat
isfy everyone he saw no reason why
two paving projects requested by the
prope-ty owners and approved by a
majority of them should be helj up
by one man. He said he favored 4r".ng
