lidity of State school endowment fund
investments will be contested in a
court action brought by Secretary OF
State Franklin Girard against the
State Land Board and Commissioner
Of Finance Ben Diefendorf.
Girard contends that purchases OF
school district tax anticipation notes
from endowment funds are illegal In
that the notes are not legally bonds.
A constitutional amendment, stand
ing for 80 years, permitting invest
ment Of endowment funds in school
bonds, will be contested.
About $7,000,00O Of the $11, 900, 600
State endowment fund has been in
vested in school district bonds under
authorization of the amendment, le-
gality of which is now to be tested.
At the time the amendment was
adopted by the people, they were
asked II the Land Boards powers
should be broadened to permit invest
ment Of endowment funds In school
bonds. They were not asked, Girard
contends, II school district bonds
should be classified with State and
Federal bonds as legal investment
sources. This ambiguity, he declares,
may have made the $1,000, 900 invest
ment illegal.
Idaho's financial position is health

politicians because Monday Republi-
can leaders will meet here to open the

be most felt.
The belief In rising hog prices Is
sustained by the announced program
of buying for relief by the Federal
Government, at the rate of 10000
head of hogs daily throughout Feb
ruary.
Further evidence of good times to
come in Iowa are the number of sign

the $12,500, 900 fund, to be used for re-
habilttation Of the dairy industry, will

CHICAGO. FEBRUARY 10-The smaller
cities of Illinois and adjoining States
have been represented in Chicago
during the past week by more than
10000 buyers for retail stores. Not
since 1929 has there been so vast q
throng to celebrate Interstate Mer-

not since that notable year has there
been so large a volume of purchasing
The spirit moving this army Of
merchandizerS was distinctly one Of
optimism. 1t was difficult to find
among them any who were in the
state of lamentation, which less than
a year ago was the common emotion.
One made complaint that his business
had shown a falling off in the last
two weeks. 1t had been so per cent
better than a year ago, but his latest
check up showed only a 80 per cent
improvement.
Many Orders Reported.
Wholesalers report that in certain

section Interest in the three-night
style show, held in one Of the biggest
hotel ball rooms in the city, provided
an audience on the opening night

Local merchants have been deeply
impressed by this display of faith in
the reviving power of the consumer
public That faith has not been
justified by retail buying in Chicago
stores. 1t is a phenomenon that seems
for the time confined to the smaller
centers of trade, and is to be ex-
planned, probably, by the fact that
Federal money, poured into rural
communities, is finding its way through
channels that lead directly to the tills

Supporters of the Federal admin

merchants regard the unexpected
demonstration of hinterland revival
with envy and hope. The stimulus
may be longer in reaching the big
cities, but there seems to be reasonable
ground for the theory that it Is on

In recent weeks North Dakota has

sidiary Of the American Gas & Elec-
trio Co., Is to construct power plants
costing S2,500, 900 each. Permits for
them were issued a short time ago
by the Federal Power Commission
and construction is expected to be-
gin early this Spring. On the two
projects about 600 men, to be taken
from C. w. A. rolls, will find en-
ployment for q period lasting about
18 months.
In seeking the permits to operate
power plants in connection with the
Government dams, power officials ex-
pressed their faith in the future in
dustrial development Of the Kama
wha Valley which hitherto has relied
chiefly upon its sale Of coal as its
chief business, but more recently has
developed a chemical industry that
has grown to almost equal coal in
point of production.
The chemical plants Of the Kama
wha Valley, particularly those Of the
du Points, the Carbide & Carbon
Chemicals Corporation and the West
waco Chlorine Products Corporation,
have shown great increase in ac-
tivity recently and each Of the plants
is operating to capacity. All Of them
helped to foster the Governments
development of the river with the
view to using it to transport raw ma
terials to them and to haul away
their products.
While there has been decided
pickup in the chemical industry and
glass making plants in this section,
State Labor Commissioner C. E. Jar
rett has reported that manufacturing
plants In all other sections of the
State also, have been making gains,
and he expressed the belief that by
Spring many Of the plants will be
able to absorb o considerable num-
Der from c. W. A. and Government
relief rolls.
This does not mean, however, that
West Virginia will be in a position
to step away from the Governments
benevolence, even half way, by
Spring. As State it stood highest
among those accepting Government
charity for its destitute citizens and
as yet it has provided not cent to
supplement the Federal bounty.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTLAND, Greg, February 10
Maj. Gen. Charles H Martin, retired,
Democratic Representative from the
third district, has completely upset
Oregon's political apple cart by an
nouncing his intention to be a can
didate for Governor instead of stay
ing in the easy and concededly GER
tain path to victory in the congress
sional field.
The third congressional district in
Oregon comprises Portland and Multi
nomah County and contains approx
mately one-third of the voting popu-
lation of the State. BY registration
it is approximately 2 to l Repub-
hcan. In 1880 Gen. Martin was
given the Democratic nomination for
Congress by the spontaneous action of
Multnomah Democrats in writing his
name in on the primary ballot. He
was elected with a wide margin over
his Republican opponent in November.
In the November election in 1882 he
polled 74,201 votes to the 1888 given
Roosevelt in the third district, de-
feating his Republican opponent by
practically to l in a field of six
contenders. His reelection this year
was generally conceded, both by Re
publicans as well as Democrats.
Martins announcement that he
would be candidate for Governor
did not come ss complete surprise,
for he had been bombarded by friends
in both parties for some weeks. Prior
to his statement 1t was generally as
sumed by political observers that Gov.
Julius L. Meier would seek reelection,
though his candidacy was against the
desires of his family, business associ-
ates and the advice of his physicians.
While it was the majority belief of
leading politicians that he could win
the Republican nomination in a
divided field, grave doubt was ex-
pressed as to his ability to win in
November. A half dozen ambitious
Republicans have been waiting for
Meier to speak, ready to run should
he decide to retire voluntarily. Almost
as many Democrats have been con-
sidered as possible candidates, the
most of them waiting to see if Martin
would yield to pressure and decide to
20 for the governship.
