POLICIES SET FORTH Urges Changes . in State , Government to Make Penitentiary Self . Supporting. I. L. Patterson, for many years one of the most prominent figures in Oregon politics, today an nounced himself aa a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket at the forthcoming primary election. Mr. Patterson baa been quite active In the state'a political affairs 'or a numlier of years. He has served as state senator from Polk coun ty and has bad other legislative positions which give him out atanding. qualifications for the office which he is seeking. Mr. Patterson in announcing his can didacy makes the following open statement to the voters of the state: In announcing my candidacy for the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket at the pri mary election in May 1926, I de sire to call attention to my busi ness experience. Including my ac tivity as a practical farmer for many years. In early life, I was engaged in mercantile business, but am now, and for many years have been, conducting one of the most di versified farms In the Willamette , Valley. I understand and appre ciate the maay farm problems confronting the farmera of this state. I have had legislative experi ence as a member of the State Senate through four regular and, two special sessions of the legis lature, and believe I have a knowledge, and grasp of State affairs that would enable me to be of service to the people of Oregon. I am going to make a vigorous, clean and constructive campaign for the Republican nomination on issues, saying nothing and doing nothing against any other candi date that could be used against him in event of his nomination; a campaign that will tend, as far ns possible, to unite the Repub lican party, ao that the nominee niay have the entire party sup port, thus insuring his election. Tax Reduction. If elected to the office of Gov ernor. It Is my intention to bring about a reduction In taxes. I desire that this statement be understood to mean precisely what it says. I make no gesture to give it enlarged or ancertaln Influence. I do not refer to one kind of taxes to the exclusion of other kinds of taxes. I shall never point to mere redistribution of the present tax burdens as ful fillment of this pledge, althoush I believe that the tax burden should he readjusted, nor shall I ever offer as the fulfillment an expensive temporary expedient, such as postponement of Imme diate obligations or creation of. a deficit to make superficial show of tax reduction. By reduction of taxes, I mean (Continued on page J.) Women on Burning Vessel Pray to Jazz Accompaniment.' While Males Idle Time in Roles of Gallants (San-tat) Fna, Unt4 win.) NEW TORK. Oct. 22.

TEACHERS OF COUNTY MEET IN INSTITUTE State Superintendent Makes Fine Talk on Higher Qualifications. TAX LAWS EXPLAINED Lessening of School Tax Burden on Property Ad vocated by Expert in ; School Finance. ' ' The Douglas County Teachers In stitute opened this morning at the high "school with ai) attendance of nearly three hundred teachers and other persons interested. Follow ing tbe opening song, "America", the invocation by Rev. H. E. Mow and a vocal solo by Miss Gertrude Wickhara, J. A. Churchill, state su perintendent of public Instruction. spoke briefly. Owing to the fact that the session started late, Mr. Churchill had only a few minutes for his address. He spoke on the ideals which teachers should hold before them, and urged full four year normal courses as a means of raising the qualifications. He also advocated free text books and a teachers' retirement law. Departmental work followed Willi .the Primary-Phonics depart ment under the direction of Mrs. Blanche Applegate; grades and rural under Mrs. Ines Miller and high school under C. C. Hill, F. M. Maxwell and Gene W. Hall. A very Interesting address was made by H .P. Ralney of the Uni versity of Oregon. Mr. Rainey has specialised In the study of school finances and spoke on this sub ject. He outlined to the teachers the methods now used In raising finances for tbe schools, showing that real estate Is besring NO per cent of tbe cost, while 20 per cent comes from the millage tax and In terest o i the ineduclble school fund. This system, he pointed out, hat many faults, particularly in the fact that It Is unequal. Some dis tricts have 100 times as much money for school purposes as do others, the amount of money de pending upon the wealth of the dis trict, the tax paid and the pupils attending.

LIELLOli GIVES NEW PROPOSAL FOR TAX SLASH Intended as Alternative of First Plan, With No Recommendation. SOLONS OWN JUDGE Latest Schedule Presented Suggests Reduction in ' Taxation Rate for . $4,000 Income. (AanrUUd Pna Ussnl Win.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. A new achedule of normal Income rates was presented to the house ways and means committee today by Se cretary Mellon, The proposal suggested a rate of one per cent on the first 13,000 of taxable Income, two per cent on the next 11,000, three per cent on the next S4.000, and five per cent thereafter. This arrangement, the secretary said In a letter to Chairman Green, probably would be "more satisfac tory" than the recently submitted treasury schedule suggesting one per cent on the first $3,000 of tax- npvt 14 000 mnA K w Lnl th.M. after. Present normal rates are two per cent on the first $4,000 of In come, four per cent on the next $4,000 and six per cent on the re mainder. Mr. Mellon submitted the new figures not as a "definite" pro posal, but as an alternative plan to that laid before the committee In writing Monday. It really la the third .tentative outline of ratea the treasury has submitted. Mr. Mellon I having suggested orally when he appeared berore the committee Monday that tbe rate might be made one and one-half per cent on tbe first $4,000: three per cent be tween $4,000 and $8,000. and five per cent for all over $8,000. 25 Per Cent Maximum Enough. Mr. Mellon's letter reached the committee Just as It was. beginning Its fourth dav of hearings on tax revision, with a long list of wit nesses on hand to submit their views on the Income and various other levies. The letter follows: "In my statement before your committee on October 19, I said: Tne tressurv fines not nmimu any definite rate, but It presents to you the certainty that tax reform can go to a 25 per cent maximnm 'normal and surtax, without the Islightest effect on our future rev enues.' " I "In order to assure the accuracy or aucn a statement. It was neces- sary for the government .actuary to , worg out aenmte, schedules of normal and surtax ratea . wllhln this limit of 25 per cent, and upon these schedules to. estimate the 'probable, loss of revenue. Tour 'committee requested that we file the set of rates upon which the es timates hsd been based. I "The actuary had used the ten tative rate schedules which yielded substantially the same revenue, he one originally filed wllh yon called for the normal taxes of one per cent on the first $3,000 of Isx able Income; three per cent on the next $4,000 and five per cent on the remainder. The alternative schedules of the actuary Is probab ly more satisfactory and should ave been used. This schedule of norms! tax Is one per rent on the first $2,000; two per rent on the jnext $1,000; three per cent on the ,next $4,000. and five per cent on (the remsinder. I Proposal Only Advisory. I "I desire therefore to substitute thls alternative schedule for the jflrst one already filled. Your com mittee will work out Its own specific rates within such limits ss jlhe committee may determine, and the actuary's rates are used solely to Illustrate a possible schedule within the limits mentioned by me. The press has assumed that the 'actuary's schedules of rates repre sent definite treasury proposals, 'and I am writing yon now 10 as sure you that the treasury has made no chsnge In the position taken In the statement nnoted above, and does not wish to be un derstood to be proposing definite rstes of tsx." t Committee members noted that the letter left the previously sub mitted schedule of surtsx rates un disturbed and that whereas the treasury had declared the schedule submitted on Mondsy to be pre dicated upon repeal of the present 2.'! per cent deduction for earned Inrom today'a letter made no ref erence to such a repeal. s I Warm Momenta At Hearing.
