Old Shoe Takes
Prominent Part
In Divorce Case

An old shoe, proverbiany con-
nected with weddings, formed the
main exhibit of the plaintiff in
the divorce suit " Mrs. Goldle
May Sharpe against her husband
Claude Clayton Sharpe which was
,rled before Judge George G..
Bingham in Department No. of
the circuit court.
The old shoe was exhibited in
the case for the court to draw its
conclusions as to whether or not
the defendant had properly pro-
vided for his family, and not
withstanding the testimony Of the
plaintiff witnesses Judge Bing-
ham said:
"The evidence in this case
shows that this young man was
working hard to establish a home
for his family and that he has a
paternal love for his children and
also that his frugality was prompt
ed by a desire to save for the fu-
ture. This couple was too young
to be married and now that there
comes a catastrophe and no pro
visions made for the disposition
of the children they realize tbs
seriousness of the situation
will take the case under advise
ment."

Supreme Court Up
holds Bushey's Sen
tence of $500 and Six
Months In Jail

A fine OF $500 with an addi-
tional sentence of six months in
the county jail is not an excessive
penalty for the possession of two
quarts of moonshine whiskey in
the opinion of the Oregon supreme
court.
The opinion of the court writ
ten by Justice Brown sustains the
action of Judge Bushey Of the
Marion county court in affixing
Just such a penalty upon Peter
Sustar, Marion county farmer,
when the latter pleaded guilty to
the liquor charge at night ses-
sion of the court, and affirms the
decree OF Circuit Judge Bingham
in denying Sustar's petition for
the issuance of writ Of review.
Claimed Penalty Illegal
In his appeal from the action
of the circuit and county courts
Sustar had alleged that the sent
ence imposed was illegal and un-
lawful and in conflict with the
section Of the state constitution
which forbids the imposition OF
excessive fines or cruel and unus-
ual punishment.
He further alleges that the pen

BONUS LAW
PROBLEMS
DECIDED
Attorney General Van
Wrinkle Passes On
Questions Rising Out
of Loan Act

Receipt of retirement pay by an
ex-service man constitutes bar to
participation in the provisions Of
the Oregon bonus law, according
to opinion prepared by Attorney
General avn Winkle for the guild
ance of the state bonus commits
sion.
s'The legislature cannot be un-
derstood as considering those re-
ceiving such retirement pay as in
need of industrial rehabilitation
which is the purpose of the statute
as is provided in the title" Van
Wrinkle points out in his opinion.
Liberalitv Necessary.
The same opinion holds that a
loan under the provisions of the
bonus act may be secured by prop
erty owned by one of "his or her
husband, father, mother, child,
children, brother or sister" point
ing out that the ract that the first
named may not be willing to give
his property as security for such
a loan would not bar the appli-
cant from securing the loan on
property held by any of the other
relatives, regardless of the order
in which they are named in the
bonus bill.
1.-The statute being remedial
must be literally construed to ae'
complish the purpose intended By
the legislature and people in pass
ing the bonus amendment and
statute and the fact that one oi
the first named relatives may b'
unable or unwilling to mortgage
his or her property will not pre-
vent another who is mentioned
later in the list lrom Going SO Il
order to assist veteran relativ'
insecnring the loan," the opinion
points out.
Orher Rulings Made.
Numerous other questions
which have arisen through queries
directed to the commission by ex
service men are answered in thu
opinion as follows:
"Can person borrow al
amount less than $4,000 giving th'
proper security therefor and sub
seouent to the accomplishment o
said loan, again make application
for and receive another loan, of
fering the same and additional o
other security therefore and con
, tinue this procedure until the en-
tire amount of $4,000 has been re
ceived oy him7"
It is held in answer to this ques
tion that the word loan" vhei
applied to the amount to be loane'
to any one application, has refer
ence TO the entire amount 50 loan
ed and not any specific amour
which, mfsht Constitute a par
thereof and hence that a qualities
applicant does not exhaust his o
her right to borrow the ful
amount provided IN the statute b.
borrowing a less amount, but tha
1t may be increased to the amour
limited by law.
"Can this section be construel
as permitting a loan on propertl
title to which is vested in the wifi
of the Applicant Can this sectioi
be construed as permitting a ioal
on property. title to which is vest
ed in husband and wife jointiyl
The answer Is IN the affirma
tive. Title vested In ths husban
and wife Is held in the entirely
but in any event where the mort
gage is signed By both the appli
cant and his CT her husband q
wife, the requirements Of the sts
tuts are complied With, the epiz
ion holds.
