DEMOCRATS SCORED
FOR EXTRAVAGANCE
Tariff Will Be Aid to National
Industry Without Increasing
Cost of Imported Products.
That the Fordney tariff will not re
sult in increasing the cost of living,
that taxes can best be! equalized
through the creating of larger in
comes for those upon whom the our
den of taxation falls, and that the safe
guarding of the credit of the United
States is dependent upon the reduc
tion of national expenditures, were
the salient points stressed by U. S.
Representative Hawley in an address
here Thursday night.
Hawley addressed a large audience
at the Star theatre. He urged 'down
the line" support of the republican
administration both in state and na
tional politics. Return of the repub
lican congress was vital to the con
tinued support of President Harding
both at present and for the election m
1924, he stated.
Republican Support Urged
"Oregon," stated the congressman, is
vitally interested in the continuance
of republican control. This state i3
primarily a producer of raw mater
ials. Eighty per cent of her produc
tion is lumber, then follows wool.
meats, grain, fruits and risnenes.
. When the east is prosperous, labor is
employed and capital active. Large
sums of money come into Oregon fr
the purchase of her products. The cre
ation of proper business conditions
throughout the east, through the re
publican control, has reflected itself
in the prosperity of this state."
The speaker declared that in the
present agitation over the high taxes,
the real relief was in bringing into
the state more money for farmers
and people who sell their products
and thus increase their yearly income.
It is necessary, he" said to maintain
he recognized standard of the state
administration, but the increasing ot
the incomes would allow the payment
of the same taxes, though they would
not form a great burden as at pres
ent. TariTf Said Law
The Fordney tariff. Hawley stated,
is the lowest protective wall ever
placed around American industries.
In comparison to the tariff of 1897,
which averaged 21 per cent, the 1922
tariff is 16 per cent average. 'The
reason that the tariff will not, as our
democratic friends claim, increase the
cost of living, is because the foreign
er alreay sells his product in Ameri
ca, not at a reasonable margin of
profit, but at all that the traffic will
bear," he said. The addition of tariff
charges can only come out of the pro
fits made by the foreign manufacturer
or the importer, as the American mar
kets cannot bring more return than is
already being received from them."
He pointed out that the Fordney bill
would bring an income of $50,000,000
which under the Underwod tariff was
being lost.
The speaker also cited figures to
aisnr ifut wiHi TTrrtarwnrfI tariff
tariff, the lowest of its kind ever en
acted, prices in 1920 attained a new
high level. The enactment of a pro
tective tariff, he said is always fol
lowed in the near future, by a fall in
prices.
Democrats Said Extravagant
- Touching upon the democratic ad
ministration which he characterized
as both extravagant and inefficient,
the congresman stated that when the
republicans came into power, liberty
bonds were two and a half times be
low their face value while today they
are three billions above their face
value.. The democratic extravagances
.and needless expenditures during the
year amounted to $15,000,00. He
said. The total war debt of 25 bil
lions is represented by ten billions of
loans, payable to the United Sttaes
by foreign nations. Had i tnot been
for the democratic waste, the entire
war debt would have already been
paid by taxes levied and paid by the
-people of the nation during the war
period, he stated.
At the time the republicans gained
control of the house, there were vix
trillion unemployed, Hawley stated
and at the present there is compan
t.ieiv no unemployment of a legiti
mate nature showing that the recon
struction has ben fucoessful. Illus -a-tive
of what he termed democratic
wastefulness, he state that the 1919
coi.ress cut down by $968,000,000 the
appropriation bills passed by the demo
cratic house in 1918 but turned down
by the senate in that year. Reduction
of this expense'in the operation of the
government means the cutting of near
ly nine hundred millions from the 1922
tax loll of the national government to
be paid during 1923, the speaker said.

In Hall-Mills Case
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. 30
The watch that the Rev. Edward
Wheeler Hall wore on Jhe night he
was murdered under the crab apple
tree on the Phillips farm has been
located. The police are now seeking
a negro who offered it for sale to
Otto Bontill. The name of the man
and his description are in their pos
session. - -
A week ago a negro, employed by
Bontill told him that he knew where
he could get him a good watch cheap.
Bontill was interested and his employe
led him to the home of another negro
who showed him a Huntington engin
turned gold watch with open face,
stem wind and stem set. The negro
wanted $110 for it.
Bontill explained that he did nt
have the money with him, and on his
way home to get it he picked up a
paper with a description of the watch
worn by the murdered minister, which
immediately attracted him attention.
In every detail, he thought, it fitted
that of the watch he had just seen.
Acompanied by the detectives, he
returned the negro's home, but
the man as out His wife, however,
said the wo.ild try to get it for them
if the. wouM return later. They did
so, but the woman then said her hus
band had not returned, and a general
order has been sent out for his arrest.
According to information obtained
from a r-i able authority, the negro is
almost a giant in size and strength.

Mother of Rector
Not Satisfied With
Verdict Of Coroner
HAVRE, Mont., Oct. 30 A coroner's
inquest may satisfy the law, but the
heart of a mother is not so easily
contented.
The Rev. Leonard L. Christler, rec
tor of St. Mark's Episcopal church
here and widely known as the "bishop
of all outdoors,' was shot and killed by
Mrs. Margaret Carleton in a fit of
temporary; insanity, and, the 'most
beautiful woman in Montana" then
turned the gun on herself and com
mitted suicide, acording to a coro
ner's jury verdict rendered after se
veral hour's deliberation.
"Margaret didn't do" it," declared
Mrs. Josepr Pyle of Butte, mother of
the deadwoman. T know she didn't
do it, and I shall never be satisfied,
in spite of the coroner's verdict un
til it is proved to me where the gun
came from that did the shooting."
The mystery of the gun remains un
solved today. It admittedly was not

MILLION PEOPLE FOUND
DODGING INCOME- TAX
WASHINGTON, Oct. 36 Govern
ment revenue agents and auditors, just
now catching up with their after-the-war
work, have made the'startling dis
covery that more than 1,000,000 per
sons liable for taxes on incomes above
$5000 have dodged payment either
through not making returns or con
cealing assets.
This was learned at the tresuray
department today simultaneously with
the inauguration of a drive on the part
of - the internal revenue bureau to
catch the evaders.
Revenue experts estimate that the
reasury can be enriched to the extent
of $5,000,000 in collections from indi
viduals who have failed to make any
returns for four years.

ADMINISTRATION
OF JUDGE CROSS
SCORED BY RALL
Member of Recall Committee
In Statement Says Work on
Monitor Barlow Penetration
Roads Is Proven Inefficient.
PERSONAL HANDLNG
OF BUSINESS IS HIT
Prejudice an Favoritism , Are
Alleged; Inconsiderate Use
Of Capacity is Charged.
A statement to the recall commit
tee, and to Jude H. E. Cross, citing
alleged instances of , Ineficiency in
handling of road work was made yes
terday by L. A. Rail, one of the com
mitteemen, he statement which at
tacks both the administration and the
personal conduct of the judge, fol
lows: .
"I take this means of answering the
challenge of Judge Cross, who attack
ed me in print -without any proof what
ever that I was interested in the recall
But attempting to solve his reason, I
contend it was to satisfy his petty
grouch. His guilty conscience being
brought Into action, caused him to at
tack people that he wilfully wrong
ed, as promoters of the recall, there
by admitting his guilt without trial.
"Under the voting privileges, is not
the recall a part of our personal right,
and should we be compelled to take
the matter up with Judge H. E. Cross,
and his able manager, W. W. Wood
beck, and a few sore heads from
Main street, before we advance in our
intrusted right, as legal voters of
Clackamas county."
"Since the recall is under headway,
I will give my reasons for becoming a
believer in the privilege of recall:
That under the corrupt practiec which
exists under our direct primary law
we are eligible to endorse an inferior
candidate and the only way to remove
him or her, is by the recall.
"Now there has Den quite a lot said
about commissioners Brocker and Har
ris as being instigators of the recall,
in the beginning of the move. I will
say that it is a deliberate falsehood.
Neither Harris nor Proctor were inter
viewed, while seeking a quorum, re
quired to orgtnize. But with the in
side information, and with their know
ledge of the judges domineering tem
perament, in order to be loyal to the
voters and taxpayers, they naturally
would be forced into the rank's of the
recallers. :
"In connection with this article.
wiu &sk judge Cross a few questions :
Why did you insist that Road Engi
neer Croomer apply the penetration on
the Monitor-Barlow highway, when he
informed you thta the same would not
holdt Did you not inform him that
the object of laying the same was to
foster the further sale of bonds? Ana
isn't it a fact that the road went to
pieces in less' than ten days after it
was ooened to traffic? In other words,
hasn't it been rebuilt inside of a year?
Isn't it a fact that your court relieved
nre of $6,00.00 of special levy, which
the taxpayers instructed me with? Did
you ever call a voter from. Killen pre
cinct into your private office, pro
vided for you by the taxpayers of
Clackamas county, and coach him to
vote against Harris in the primary
election, and also inform him that I
neve did have any use for 'Louie Rail?
Did you ever ,in a gruff manner, ask
an old man from the Marquam local
ity, who had come a long distance to
interview the court, if you hadn't bet
ter get him a pillow, because the old
gentleman was very tired and leaning
against the railing of the court? How
many times have you gotten up from
"the judge's chair and, in an impolite
manner, left large delegations who
were interviewing you in behalf of
road affairs, and before leaving them,
say that you had nothing to do with
road mattersthat it was up to rroc
tnr and Harris'? - !
"I. myself, was before your court j
with a delegation pleading lor an on
set to match a donation on certain
roads and Cross informed us that the
district had no finance. If such was
the case, how has the supervisor been
able to put thousands of yards of gravel-on
roads preferrable to the super
visoraparently for political purpos
essome of it on party roads and
roads which have neither been grub
bed or ditched, wearing out miles of
road between the rock crushed and
tive by reason, of the construction of
the new suspension bridge connect
ing Oregon City and" West Linn, and
the closing of the old bridge to travel.
t - w. Moffatt presented a proposal to
other interests for the balance of his
remuneration. Mr. Moffatt did not
secure the co-operation of the Crown
Willamette Co., and was unable to se
cure an approach on the west side and
abandoned negotiations. The
county court in view of the urgency
of the matter agreed to contribute
$4,000 of the amount necessary to
build the bridge and after considerable
negotiating, Oergon City contributed
$4500, West Linn, $5,000, to the coun
ty fund of $4,000, and these amounts
coupled with contributions from the
Crown-Willamette company, the Port
land Railway Light and Power com
pany .and the Hawley Pulp and Pa
per company made up the $18,000
paid to A. Guthrie and Company for
the structure which has served as a
connecting artery between the east
and west sides, during the months the
suspension bridge has been closed.
"The negotiations were openly car
ried on by the mayors and council
men of Oregon City and West Linn,
representatives from the manufactur
ing companies, the P. R. L. and P.
Co., competent engineers representing
all parties to the negotiations, Oregon
City having J. Roy Stafford Present
city engineer, and the county having
the advice and assistance of the en-
gineers connected with . the statej j
highway department. If the gentle- j
men sponsoring the recall, by their
innuendoes intend to convey the im
presion that there was graft on the
part of Harvey E. Cross in awarding
this fnrttraet. let them speak out.and
make their charges definite enough I
that the grand jury will be justified m
making an investigation, xne time
for loose and irresponsible talking
has passed. Come into the open,
gentlemen and speak words that can
be understood. The contract for the
tomnnrarr bridere is a matter of pub
lic re jord. The expenditure of public .
money ioi i l; ijuauunuu a
ranted" -
CONFERENCE REQUESTED
BY LEADER OF FASCISTI
ROME. Oct. 30 Benito Mussolini,
the Fascisti leader whom King Victor j
Emmanuel has asked to become pre-;
mier, arrived in Rome today for a'
conference with his majesty. I
He left the train at 10:15. A big
crowd was on hand to greet the chief
tain of the "black shirts" who over
threw the Facta government and vir
tually forced the king to recognize
him as the political leader of the na
tion. Mussolini hurried to the palace
where he was received "by the king
at 11:15. He conferred with regard
to the personnel of the cabinet which
Mussolini is organizing.
"Within a few hours you'll have not
only a ministry but a government,"
Missoulini shouted to the crowds
arund the Quirinal.
He had just emerged frm his cn
ference with King Victr Emmanul.
"Long live the King!"
The crowd ' surging below sent back
a roar of cheers.
The turn of affairs is an out and
out surrender to the Fascisti chieftain
and the 8,000,000 soldiers supporting
him.
The Fascisti leader refused to ac
cept a compromise. His invitation to
form a ministry only came- after he
had refused point blank to participate
in any cabinet headed by former Pre
mier Salandrt.
