Reedsport Case Is Heard Today The vftvemker term of the circuit court convened this morning, the court taking up the case of the State of Oregon against Milton S. Anthony charged with stealing and destroying a boat belonging to Joe Lyons 01 Reedsport, The prosecution claims that on the night of July 3. Anthony was In Reedsport attending a dance, and on leaving towed the boat belonging to Mr. Lyons several miles up stream and set It on fire. This act. It Is '.claimed, 'was prompled by an 111 feeling between Lyons and Anthony the latter having become angered when a contract which he claimed to have held with the Reedsport company for the cutting of a large amount of tlmebr was cancelled. The defense will attempt to show that Anthony left the dance shortly after 9 o'clock, and went directly to his home, and that the boat was seen tied to the wharf after he had gone to his home. The Jury was chosen without difficulty and testi mony was introduced before noon. Eat Everything But Chicken Neck Several local people yesterday morning prepared a bountiful lunch consisting of chicken and all the "trlmmins' " and headed their autoB In the direction of the North Ump qua fish hatchery. They planned to spend the day there picking huckle berries and parked their cars near the hatchery and started hiking up the road In search of berries. Their lunch baskets, brimming over with goodies, were left in the autos and the plcnlcers did not thing it neces sary to establish a guard. Several hours later, however, when the berry pickers returned to the cars, tired and hungry, they found that some persons had "beat their time." Not a crumb of the lunch was left. One lonesome little chicken neck was all that could be found. The parties re sponsible for the robbery are local residents and are known to their vic tims. In these days of h. c. 1. this is considered a crime of no small de gree, and the guilty ones should al least "set up" a dinner to prove that they at least have a little sportsman hip loft. - Remonstrance Filed To Creason Petition Late this afternoon a summary hearing of a remonstraneo against Creason's referendum petition aimed at the aviation bonds, waa in pro gress at the city hall. Creason re cently circulated a petition asking that the matter of voting aviation bonds be referred to the people at the 1922 election. The petition was signed by about 78 people and was presented to the city recorder. Notice was posted and a remonstrance waa filed by ubout 25 people who had signed tho petition and who request ed that their names be withdrawn, alleging that It wa srepresented to them that the matter would come up for vote at the past election. It waa also claimed that many names signed had not been written by the person whose name was signed. At the hearing several witnesses were called. Roy Bellows stated that he had been told the petition pro vided for a vote on the matter at the last election and not in 1922. He said he was too busy to read the petition when it waa presented to him and that he accepted Mr. Creason's word. C. P. Williams ac knowledged that he had signed the names of his wife and son, but al leged there is a verbal agreement among the members of the family that any one member can sign the names of the others. This statement was established by the son C. T. Wil liams. George Shanks and Mr. and Mrs. George Noah were also called, while a number of other witnesses were present to testify. Mr. Noah testified that he had not registered or voted in eight years. After hear ing the statements of witnesses. Re corder Whipple will take the re monstrance under adrluement and determine whether or not the peti tion will stand. Hunger Strikers Refusing Food By AmavIhishI rrfM.

THE STORK THAT IS MAKING PRICKS LOWER CONGRESS TO MEET DEO. 6th. (Continued From Page 1.). tax, revised from top to bottom. Needless to say, every cltlien concurs In this desire, for the Income tax, it cannot be denied, presses heavily on rich and poor alike. In the Decem ber session Secretary Houston will ask congress to make the new law simpler than the present cumbersome statue. One of the most Important recommendations of Mr. Houston will be that the commissioner of In ternal revenue be authorized to make final determinations in any tax assessment. Under the present law a tax case can be opened time and time again until the taxpayer never knows when he la through with liti gation with the treasury. But a lowering of the whole Income tax schedule la what is now desired by congressmen and citizens alike. There are also many Imperfections In the present income tax law, as hap pens usually In all complex and new statutes, and these must be Ironed out. In the revision, house and sen ate leaders are said to plan not only a general reduction In all schedules, but changes so that big Incomes will bear a proportionally larger share of the tax. The "little fellow" will not have to pay as much as heretofore. This will Indeed be popular legisla tion with the masses. The housing situation will also be considered by the December session. The shortage of homes In every sec tion of the land, except in the rural districts. Is almost as serious as the tax burden and the high cost of llv- InK.
