.'PIGEC N-HOLED" BILL
TO BE VOTED ON
Bill Putting Revenue Agent ON
Salary, Held Out by Governor
to be Voted on.

to be Voted on.
A petition is being circulated in
several of the counties of the state,
calling for vote in November up
ON the question OF putting the
state revenue agent on salary.
This petition seeks to put into
effect the law passed by the recent
legislature. fixing the salary of
the state revenue agent at $4,000,
and which bill after passing both
houses was 'pigeon-holed" by Gov
ernor Lee Russell, who in this way
prevented it from becoming law.
1t will be recalled that Governor
Russell, State Revenue Agent
Stokes Robertson and his employees
worked hard to prevent the legis-
latn~a from passing the bill putt
ing him on a salary, but failed in
their efforts.
When the bill was sent to the
governor for his signature that it
might become a law, he simply
stuck it In pigeo~ hole and the
close of the session was so near
that there was not time to pass
1t over his veto.
This bill puts the state revenue
agent on a salary of $4,000 per
year. and furnishes a commission
from which he is provided funds
with which to carry on all legiti-
mate law suits in connection with
his Office This gives him a larger
salary than any other state officer
except the governor, and in. view
of the fact he was originally
elected upon the platform of "a
straight salary" it would hardly
be consistent for him to fight this
initiative" even if he were dis
posed to do so.
The petition is being circulated
in Kinds as we'll as other counties.
and is being signed by practically
everybody to WI cm presented.
The petition merely gives the
voters of the state az opportunity
at the regular November election
to vote upon the question Of
whether or not the law passed
bv both houses of the legislature,
and which, was prevented by Gov.
Russell from becoming law shall
be put into effect by the people.

The above from the Clarion
Ledger shows that the people are
not willing to pay the state reve-
'nue agent $4,000 per year. SIS 1000

which will do good. At each meet

of opinion was that he was right,

POLK ROAD BOND
CASE IS ARGUED
BEFORE COURT

Dallas, Or, Nov. 21.--The case
wherein independence business
men ask an Injunction against the
issuance OF bonds voted for high
way construction was heard be-
fore Judge George H. Bagley OF
Hillsboro, In Dallas last Friday.
The county court advertised
$4,000 for the bonds for sale,
specifying that the amount was to
be paid upon construction OF the
West Side Pacific highway
through Polk county. ut was then
that the Independence men
brought the court case. Saturday
the evidence was heard and the
case submitted. It is not expect
ed that q decision will be filedpfor
some weeks.
The contentious of the plain
tiffs, who seek to prevent the sale
OF the bonds, is that the original
notice Of the bond election by the
county court was not sufficiently
specific in declaring just the road
upon which the money was to be
spent. The defendant, which in
this case is the county, seeks to
prove that by newspaper adyertis-
Ing and other wise, the people
were given thorough under-I
standing Of just what they were
voting for, besides which the court
order calling the election did spe-
city the exact points the ROAD
leaves Yamhill county and enters
Benton county.
In effect this action attacks the
validity OF the entire lot OF $685.
GOO voted in June, 1919, but does
not specifically attack even the
$4,000 in bonds 1t is proposed t.
sell from the same issue to apply
on the cost Of the Salem Dallas
highway. This feature Of the case
attracted noteworthy attention
and 1t is believed by many will
be taken into consideration by the
court.
Judge Martin Pipes Of Portland
and y. n. Fletcher of Independ
ence appeared for the plaintiffs
and J. M. Devers OF Salem and j
N. Helgerson appeared for the
county. Mr.. Devers is attorney
Tor the state highway commission
and in his argument attacked the
good faith of the plaintiffs in
bringing the action. Attorney
Pipes answered this attack BY a
pointing to the court decision not \
allowing the county to spend Y
market road money on the high :
way. a

LOCAL BUSINESS
BADLY CRIPPLED
BY CAR SHORTAGE

Car shortage is not only inter
fering with the fruit industry OF
the state, but Is also causing
great loss to the lumber industry,
according to the experiences OF
the Spaulding Logging company.
With capacity of shipping 15
cars week, the Spaulding Log
ging company has received only
IL open cars this month, accord
ing to oliver J. Myers, local man
ager. This has reduced the ship
ping business of the company
more than rs per cent this month.
The company is also suffering
from shortage on closed cars, not
one car having been received this
month.
The car shortage in Salem is
also interfering with shipments
of mill feed stuffs and alfalfa hay
from eastern Oregon points to
the valley, according to D. A.
White & Sons.
The oats and hay crop in this
part Of the valley was not quite
up to standard this year on ac-
count OF the dry weather exper-
fenced during the summer. Hence
while there is demand for the
mill feed stuffs and alfalfa hay
from eastern Oregon, the car
shortage has interfered greatly
With this business. The eastern
oregon men are willing to sell,
'ut the uncertainty of delivery
las put a crimp into the business.
