Labor Adopts
Policy Against
Tax Proposal
Osborne Voices Views
Over Station KOI!\
Proposed 'Pax Amendment
Stands as Destructive
\ o Labor Secretary
Ben T. Osborne, executive sec
| retary of the State Federation of
Labor, declared that organized la
| bor was against the proposed 20
i mill tax limitation movement,
i speaking over radio station KOIN
I Saturday night.
; According to Osborne, the pro
jposed amendment is the most vic
j ious and potentially destructive
i piece of legislation ever offered to
I the voters of Oregon.
In his speech Osburne, who not
only spoke for organized labor, but
for 40 or 50 civic, social service
and educational groups, states:
“That the proposed measure is
a more serious threat and a great
er menace than all of the red agi
tation that has been done in Ore
gon in a decade.”
Public education would be the
most crippled of all public servic
es, said Osborne. “Organized la
bor, more than any other one
group was responsible for this sys
tem of education. Labor takes
this position because we believe in
the principles of democracy, and
a democracy can succeed only to
the extent that the people are in
formed.”
Curtailment Shown
Osborne quoted statements is
sued by State Superintendent
Howard, which showed what the
adoption of the amendment would
do in curtailing school facilities,
including the closing of high
schools, or the alternative of pay
ing tuition to attend them.
Selfish Interests Sponsor
“The amendment is sponsored
by a group which is acting in its
own selfish interests, and which
has no regard for the welfare of
the great mass of citizens of Ore
gon. It is designed to relieve the
wealthy, and shift the burden of
taxation more and more on the
shoulders of those least able to
pay,” the speaker declared.
Other statements by Osborne in
dicated (hat labor believed that if
the amendment was adopted it
would have demoralizing effects
on all public schools and the fire
and police departments in every
city in Oregon. Public payrolls
would be reduced, public employees
discharged, and the public would
be the ultimate ones to suffer.
Small Tax Reduction
In refuting arguments made by
lhe exponents of the measure Os
borne told of the comparatively
small reduction in taxes which
would be made to the small prop
erty owner, the loss of valuable
public services including the edu
cational facilities of the state, and
Ihe fact that by the adoption of
an unjust form of taxation the
small landholder or property own
er would have to puy many times
the tax he is now paying.
Osborne told of the inability of
the state, if the proposed measure
diould pass, to meet such necessi
ties as care for the aged and other
uncial insurance.

I Violent Ozark Criminal
Admits His Identiv
As He Dies
EAST LIVERPOOL, O.—The
long arm of the Department of
Justice caught up with Charles
“Pretty Boy” Floyd, violent crim
inal of the Ozarks, near here tu
day, and snuffed out his life in a
hail of rifle, pistol and machine
gun bullets.
Federal agents and police came
upon the No. 1 public enemy at a
lonely farm, seven miles north of
this city, in a section much like
the country where he was bom
and raised.
Fifty or more shots rang out as
the officers halted the criminal's
flight, and he fell mortally j
wounded and unable to use either
of the two automatics he was car
rying.
Identifies Self
Just before he died, Floyd said
to Melvin Purvis, head of the just
ice department's bureau of inves
tigation in Chicago, “I am Floyd.”
It was apparent that Floyd knew
he was dying.
Police Chief Hugh J. McDer
mott, of East Liverpool, who par
ticipated in the final run-down of
the criminal, said Floyd was
wounded at least eight times and
possibly 20 by the officer’s guns.
Floyd died about 15 minutes af
ter he was shot while officers were
carrying him to a nearby road
where they had an automobile
which was waiting to take him to
a hospital.

same violent manner by which he
had lived. At the time he was slain
he was the principal figure in a
nation-wide search, being sought
as the trigger-man in the Kansas
City union station machine gun
massacre in which five men were
shot to death in June 1933.
The officers who finally caught
up with Floyd today were led by
Purvis, the same federal operative
who tracked down the notorious
