STATE AID FOR ARMoRlEs
Polk County VIII Have To Speak Up
For Its Share.

The local militia boys are very
much interested in the fate of the bill
passed by the recent Legislature ap-
propriating a fund for the construc-
ton OF armories in the state, as they
see no reason why they should not be
able to get an armory for Polk Coun-
ty. The bill originally called for
$SO,000, but it ran up against a COM
mittee pruning. knife and the amount
was cut to half of that The dispose
ton now rests with the Governor.
Captain Walter L. Tooze, Jr., who is
the chief agitator for an armory here.
believes that the bill will be allowed
to become law, at the expiration of
the 80 days required by the statute,
which will be May 20.
Eugene is already laying plans for
securing $4,000 of the appropria-
tion. Ashland wants $4,000 of it, and
will get it. Roseburg has asked for
5 5000. In each of those towns an
active campaign is being carried on to
secure an armory. and if Dallas and
Polk County expect to obtain the re-
naming $4,000 of the fund, they will
have to get busy. 1t is proposed to
ask the County Court to appropriate
that amount, on condition that the
city of Dallas will vote the other half
Of the $4,000 needed to build a suit
able armory here.

MANY BILLS GET AXE
GOVERNOR WEST INTIMATES HE
WILL VETO ROAD LAWS.
All Game Measures VIII Be Killed. If
Executive Adheres to His
Present Policy.

Governor West will veto the state
aid road bill, carrying an appropria-
tion of $340, 900, according to a state
ment made by him Wednesday.
The same question that arose in
connection W ith the bill among good
roads men of Portland will direct the
Governor in his course, as the bill fails
to make provision as to who shall
have supervision over expenditure of
the money.
Il cannot allow $4,000 to be
thrown about among the counties as
though it were thrown among so many
birds, with no one having supervision
of the method of spending the mon
ey" said the Governor.
He has not fully decided on his atti-
tude as to-the other good roads bills
and until he has passed on the bill
creating a Highway Commission and
the bill providing for bonding of coun-
ties, it will be impossible to give any
adequate idea as to the status of road
legislation in the state of Oregon
Two See Governor.
Lionel R. Webster, of Portland, was
in conference with the Governor Wed
nesday relative to the road bills, but
the extent of this conference was not
given out John H. Albert, of Salem,
also conferred with the Governor on
good roads legislation.
Governor West felt slightly indis-
posed in the afternoon, and while he
handled large number of bills and
vetoed many, he did not feel inclined
to enter into the heavy task of decid-
ing finally on these measures. He has
until Friday in which to determine
just what his attitude will be.
Inasmuch as many of the legislat-
ors, particularly in the Senate, fire.
quently expressed the opinion that the
bill creating a State Highway Com
mission is an unnecessary measure, if |
The stateSaid bill should be defeated |
there is a possibility that all of the
scrap heap of vetoed bills for the con-
'ideration of the next session.
All Game Bills Dead.
All game bills are being vetoed by
Governor West. One message explains
lis attitude, the accompanying mes
ages on the other bills referring to
lis veto of Senate bill 261, introduced
" Merryman and providing that the
State Game Warden may kill birds
when he believes such action will be.
or the protection of trees, orchards,
r property.
The Governor takes the position
hat the bill creating a State Board of
'ish and Game Commissioners is suf-
cient game legislation for one session
o pass, and consequently it is proba-
lie that all pieces of game legislation
Iill be killed by him. The list of game
ills vetoed today includes one Rogue
liver fishing bill, which refers to the =
sale of game fish on that
iver, but does not include the Peirce
ill, which would repeal the law
assed by the people at the last cleo
on.

FRUIT IS PARAMOUNT
TWO-DAYS' MEETING OPENED IN
DALLAS YESTERDAY.
Noted Authorities Call Attention to
Opportunities at Hand in Polk
County.

The first step toward the organized
upbuilding of one of the principal in
dustries of the future in Polk County
was taken Thursday morning, at the
opening of the two-days' horticultural
meeting at the court house in Dallas.
To say that the attendance was good,
would be over-stating the case, for
owing to the bright weather prevail
ing, spring farm work was being
rushed forward and farmers were
loath to drop the plow handles and
come to town. Those who did attend
however, were very glad that they had
done SO, as they had the pleasure and
satisfaction of listening to instructive
and interesting talks on horticultural
matters by the best informed men in
the Northwest, and the little seed of
enthusiasm there sown will flourish
and bring forth a harvest of energy
and accomplishment that will make
famous the fruit of the Blue Ribbon
County"

RENO WILL RAISE
RESIDENCE PERIOD
Term Required for Divorce To BE
Made Year, Says Nevada Attorney,
Visiting Here.

The only remedy for the divorce
evil Is national legislation. Put III
yorces In the jurisdiction OF the FED
eral courts, as the cases In Dahk'
ruptcy are now, and you will have
solved the problem, and It VIII not
be solved until then"
This Is the opinion OF Pat" McCar-
ran, a Reno. Nevada, attorney VINO 10
here to attend the convention OF the
Knights OF Columbus.
Reno suffers much from Its reputa-
ton as city In which divorces can
be comfortably obtained after SIX
months residence" continued MT.
McCarran, and expect that the next
session OF the legislature, which VIII
be held In two years. will pass laws
raising the time lint from six months
TO one year.
"The only great difference between
our laws and yours here IN Michigan
is that the terms OF residence requir-
ed in Michigan Is a year. and In my
state II is one-half that The senu'
ment OF the better class OF people Is
strong against conditions as they now
exist.
"Of course. IL brings Us some money.
Not US lawyers, but the merchants OF
the town. The lawyers probably get
one-tenth OF the money brought into
the city and spent by those seeking
divorces. But the effect on business
is bad, very bad. in the long run. 1t
keeps many good. solid men with fam
lilies away from the town. as they
don't want TO bring up family In a
place with reputation IKE that OF
Reno.
The prize fight between Johnson
and Jeffries a yeaA ago was another
black eye to the city. II brought a
great deal of money TO the town temp
orary but II did more permanent harm
than IL did good.
Nevada has q great many natural
advantages and as soon as the state
changes It's divorce laws and Reno
lives down It's bad reputation, which
II really doesn't deserve. we will have
one OF the best cities OF the west"
