SIXTEEN SENATORS FORM SOLID
PHALANx OVER WHICH BILJs
CANNOT CLIMB
SMITH OF JOSEPHINE ONE or IS
Protect State Against Defiance Of
Six Per Cent Limitation of State
Constitution

Salem, Ore, Feb. 25.-The most
gigantic salary grab ever attempted
In, the state was frustrated in the
senate Saturday, and its would-be
perpetrators rebuked by a combina-
tion OF 16 members who stood
against an effort to scrape the last
dollar from treasury already de-
pleted, as far as visible revenues
are concerned, for the next two years.
In making their determined stand
the 16 senator's upheld the hands of
the ways and means committee and
protected the state against defiance
Of the per cent tax limitation of
the constitution.
All the salary increase bills sent
to the ways and means committee
were reported upon unfavorably but
two. that to raise the pay OF the
dairy and food commissioner from
$4,000 to $4,000 year and one to
increase the pay Of the secretary of
the board of control from $4,000 to
5000.
When the adverse report came up
on the bill to increase the salaries OF
supreme court Justices from $4,000
to $3.50 a year, Senator Eberhard
made a frank statement that, as a
member OF the committee. he had
reserved the right to vote in favor
of this increase. HIS stand caused
the bill to be passed.
After the bin of the committee on
assessment and taxation providing
an increase from s2.500 to $4,000
for the state tax commissioner had
been beaten and the controversy
over the supreme court bill had
cleared the atmosphere, the other
salary increase measures, save those
OF the dairy and food commissioner
and the secretary of the board of
control, went down in short order.

NEARLY HUNDRED
PEOPLE At DINNER
Road Matters and Business Talked at
Chamber OF Commerce Luncheon.
Many Ladies Are Present

Nearly hundred people, many
OF them ladies, attended the chamber
OF commerce dinner Monday evening
and listened with interest 70 the
presentation OF local road conditions.
There was a solo by Mrs. Guy Knapp
and a duet by Miss Patrillo and Jim
Llum, both greatly enjoyed, as was
evidenced by the spontaneous en-
cores.
Mr.. Crowley Of Seattle, who with
associates is heavily interested in
mining In this county, was intro
duced by President Branwell and he
spoke for several minutes, express
ing his approval of the present out
look and his appreciation of treat
ment received here.
N. F. McDuff, supervisor OF the
Siskiyou National Forest, gave an
interesting talk on local roads. He
stated that there are within Jose
phine county $50 miles of wagon
roads. 100 bridges of 20 feet and
greater span. 1400 cuIverts and
bridges up to Is feet span and a road
fund of only s41, 900 annually. This,
he stated, IL applied to the roads
alone would give but $50 per mile.
while as a matter of record some of
the roads actually require an ex-
penditure Of $500 a mile annually
for maintenance. He told of the
policy OF the forest department in
regard to road problems, stating that
20 per cent of the receipts of the
national forest are spent ON roads
within the forest from which funds
are received; an additional 10 per
cent is available under the forest
road section, and still more money
is available under the U. s. $4,000
900 revolving fund. And in addition
to this the states big roadbuilding
campaign should mean much road
building in Josephine county. Mr..
McDuff laid the obligation on the
people Of Josephine county to coop
crate with the forest department to
see that the fire laws are enforced
and that the fire losses to the ma
tional forest are reduced in order
that the proceeds from the sale of
timber may be increased and thereby
more funds made available for road
work
He gave the opinion that a united
effort must be made for the i'm
provement Of one road. preferably
the Crescent City road through the
forest. When this work is COM
pleted the amount spent yearly by
the county in repairs would be avail
able for some other section.
Judge Gillette was called upon
and he spoke word for4the Crescent
City road and stated that new
route had been surveyed over Hayes
Hill by federal engineers and advised
all pulling for that road.
Mr.. Weber also spoke for few
minutes on road conditions.
At the close of the meeting Mr..
Bramwell mentioned the possibility
of some railroad news soon, but gave
no intimation of its character
