of $29,677- Used Against
State Amendment.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The campaign waged late in 1926 by
the Oregon public utility committee
against the Housewives Council water
and power" amendment to the State
constitution was outlined today In the
Federal Trade Commissions power in
quiry by H. l.. Walther, manager OF
the Oregon public utility information
bureau, at Portland.
He identified a campaign expense re-
port made to the State, which showed
that $29,67744 had been spent, and
said the means used had included
Statewide speaking. distribution OF
pamphlets by utility employees and
newspaper advertising.
The committee was made up of
utility representatives connected with
his bureau, Walther said, but was not
sponsored directly by the bureau. He
described the amendment as intended
to enable the State to go into the power
business, with an authorization of a
S53,000,000 bond issue to finance the
work Copies of the amendment intro
duced into evidence by Robert E.
Healy, commission counsel, showed that
it was backed by an organization OF
housewives.

Healy brought UP the fight on the
amendment after Walther had denied
that the bureau was political organi-
cation rather than an informative one.
The witness testified that the weekly
news service maintained by the bureau
had sent out articles intended to arouse
public opinion against the amendment
and that similar matter had been cir
cuIated in namnhlet form to employees
of utility companies.
The speakers named by Walther in
cluded A. A.. Smith. a lawyer assisting
him: Chris Scheubel, an Oregon City
LAWYER. and Elmer Johnson, a Portland
lawyer He said these men had spoken
to organizations which consented TO
hear them, such as city clubs and cnam-
bers of commerce. Smith was said TO
be getting a monthly salary of $416
from the bureau and to have received
1925 for his speaking. Two payments
made to Scheubel we're said by Walther
to have totaled $2,210, and johnson was
paid $50.
Campaign expense accounts showed
a payment of 500 to e. e. Smith,
whom Walther described as a Portland
publisher. He said this payment was
for the writing and publishing in his
magazine by Smith of an article oppoS-
ing the amendment. A payment OF
$500 to A. C. Gage was also shown
in the expense account, and Walther
said this was for working on advertis-
ing matter. The total amount spent
for advertising was $18,715, and the
total spent for pamphlets was 1862.
Walther said he had been with the
bureau since May, 1925, and that 1t

The body Of an unidentified colored
man was today found floating in the
Georgetown channel by Frank Keifer,
an engineer on the new Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge. He notified the harbor
precinct police, who removed the body
to the morgue.
First reports indicated that the man
may have been passenger in the
automobile of Roy c. Delaney, colored,
letter carrier, 1905 Fifteenth street,
who was drowned early yesterday
morning when his machine plunged
over the sea wall at the foot of Four

length of time the body had been in
the water, however, tended to dispel
this belief.

Stammering.


Little children begin to talk along
about the end Of the first year. Their
mothers take great pains to teach them
TO speak correctly Nobody allows
baby talk these days. Everything goes
along nicely for a time. The baby
says dada and mama at the right
times and by the end OF the second
year puts words together and holds
communion with his friends.
All OF a sudden he begins to stam-
mer. T-t-t-t-t. says he. and Wh-h-h-h.

then you won't have to do that"
And next time he does 1t again.

child's speech mechanism has to
grow in strength and power, has to be
seasoned to service. Just as any other
function OF life has to get its growth
and its power, by use and habit.
In the beginning the child has the
desire to say but little. If he can say
bow wow" and have you know that
he means II see a dog and like him
a lot. Let me touch him" he is quite
happy. But with time comes experience
He learns that bow wow is inadequate
for all that thought and he tries to say
1t all. That's where his speech power
gives out.

his purpose His wish TO express him
self far exceeds his powers. He foods
his whole body with energy in an
effort TO make himself understood
through channels not yet developed
sufficiently for his purpose. The energy

stammers
The first thing to do is to tell the
child that you will listen 10 him as long
as he wishes. There is no hurry about
the matter All the time there is be-

pOiSe and your patient attitude, Wait
until he gets control OF the speech or

he tells his story without interrupting
him or trying to Ill out the gaps in his
story. Let him struggle along and YOU

tience, no checking up. Just calm listen.

must be treated gently or his speech vii

centrated upon stammering child the

quite disappointed. He had hoped to
learn from Bobby Coon more about
Bobby's cousins in the Sunny South,
but he had learned nothing at all. That
was because Bobby didn't know any

had mentioned them Bobby had never
heard OF them He pretended not to
believe in them. But Just as soon as

started off through the Green Forest.

Bobby resolutely turned about and
started of in another direction. He was

he intended TO sleep the remainder Of

stopped altogether. Perhaps I won't

couldn't go to sleep. He knew that
