PORTLAND. Ore., Jan. ".-Clyde
O. Huntley, collector of internal
revenue for the Oregon district,
said today that the tax paid the
slate on gasoltue is properly de
ductible from income tax compila
tions. Hlnee In Oregon the state tax on
gasoline during 19L'9 was three
renin, the proper method, he said,
is to deduct from the income tuv
three cents for each gallon used
during the year.
Huntley pointed out that the de
duction, except in cases where hue
r. mounts of gasoline was use!,
would bo very small, but he said
be expected this would not diseour
age nny taxpayer from fijanlng II
in his returns.
This is the first year any men

CNICA(iO, Jan. 7. Charles Ar
thur (the great) Shires does
pot propose to permit meetings of
stale athletic commission to cause
him to disappoint his public.
While he Is more or less soured
on the boxing business, the Great
One still is after money, and de
elded not to attend the meeting of
the Illinois State Athletic commis
sion this afternoon, so that he
might go through a bout at St.
Paul tonight.
0. Arthur said he could not at
tend the mooting which was ar
ranged for him to . explain some
things about his meeting with
mysterious "Dangerous Dan" Daly
of Cleveland, and still have time to
fulfill his engagement In St. I'aul,
with Tony Faeth, a basoball pitch
er. Rather than disappoint the
fans he decided to pais up the
meeting. And, too, he still Is con
siderably short, of the 5250,000 Im
hopes to get out of boxing.
Knossle Dlumenthal, the shy
one's manager, said Mrs. Illumen-
tlnl ioday would notify tho com-1
mission that neither fi.uhter nor
manager could attend the meeting.
Illunienlhat also outlined Shires'
h literary far the next few days.
I he great man will return to Chi
umo nrter the St. Paul fight, but
will paupe only as long as It. takes
to catch a train for Lansing,
Mich., whero the Michigan boxing
commission plans io delve into the
circumstances surrounding- Shires'
proposed bout with Haltlhig Criss
of Rockwood, Mich. Crlss' manag
er has charged that Shires' repre
sentative requested the fighter to
fold up in the fight, and C. Arthur
has been invited lo explain.
If the Michigan commission Is
convinced nothing Is amiss. Shires
will fulfill the date with Criss. lie
then plans to return to Chicago,
where he hopes to talk baseball
contract with tho White Sox man
agement. Shires may encounter difficulty
when he seeks an audience with
the Sox management, for Secre
tary Harry tlrablner has said the
fir.it-baseman mui't clear himself
of all charges before the club will
be ready to consider offering him
a contract.

Delegation.
f Associated Priu Leased Wire)
-WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Presi
dent Hoover today described the
forthcoming naval limitation;
meeting at London as "the most
important of international confer
ences of a great many years, and
probably the most important lor
many years to come."
"The progress of peace for the I
world rests in a great measure up
on the shoulders ot the five dele
gations," tiie president added.
"There is good will toward the con
ference on tiie pait of every na
tion, the importance and the grav
ity of the occasion have been re
cognized in the dispatch to London
of the leading men of every coun
try. They have the will to suc
ceed." "I am sure the whole nation
bids godspeed to the American
delegation that leaves tomorrow
for the London naval arms confer
ence. The people and the govern
ments of the five nations assembl
ing at this meeting are sincerely
desirous that agreements should
be brought about by which com
petition and construction of naval
arms is brought to an end, and by
which actual reduction in naval
burdens of the world shall be ac
complished. The difficulties of
finding a basis that will be accept
able to five different nations are
great but they are not insuper
able.
i"The conclusions of the confer
ence must be such as to give u
sense of security and satisfaction
lo each of the nations. Permanent
peace Is never based on eliuer
taking advantage of or accepting a
position of prejudice.
"The technology and the com
plexities of the problem are.'-Biich
that we need hope for no Imme
diate and quick results. To com
plete the conference in three or
lour months would be In itself a
great accomplishment, and we
bhould not expect any hurried
conclusions. It Is tiie most im
portant of international confer
ences of a great many years, and
probably the most important for
many years to come. The pro
gress of per.ee for the world rests
In a great meanure upon the
shoulders of the five delegations.
There is good will toward tho con-
lerence on the part of every na
tion. Tho Importance and the
gravity of the occasion have been
recognized by the dispatch to Lon
don of tho leading men of every
countiy. They have tho will to
succeed.
"I hope that the people of our
country will cooperate in tho pro
gress or tho conference - by pa
tience, encouragement, and free
dom from criticism. We go to
London in u fine atmosphere of in
let-national good will, and it is the
duty of our country to preserve
that atmosphere so far as lies
within our power."
