the oeoDle of Portland to come

TAX AID HELD IT NEEDED
COLORADO PROJECT'S MERITS
SUFFICIENT, SAYS SENATOR.
Convention of League of South
west Expected to Take Definite
Action on Scheme.
LOS ANGELES, CaU April 2. The
Colorado river project, expected to
take definite form as the result of
the annual convention here of the
league of the southwest, can be ac
complished, United States Senator
Owen of Oklahoma, told the conven
tion today "without the imposition
by congress of a further tax on the
American people."
"The merits of the prolect," he said,
epeak eloquently for themselves."
He declared the federal reserve and
the federal farm loan acts had made
million of dollars for the government
without costing the government any
thing. The same principles of co
operation between the government
and the citizens could be utilized in
the Colorado river project, he said.
Miss Helen Taft, acting president of
Bryn Mawr college, spoke on "educa
tional problems." She said the short
age of 140,000 teachers in the schools
of the United States had brought
about "an immediate crisis." She
blamed "the high cost of living," say
ing salaries of educators had virtu
ally been cut in half, as thev re
mained at the same' figures as before
nigh prices prevailed.
"We must do everything in our
power to make teaching attractive,'
she said. "We must see that educa

declared to have become - involved.
Junge's disappearance was announced
yesterday following the arrest of five
men In Vancouver, Wash., yesterday
morning charged with grand larceny
in connection with the disappearance
of some of the machines.
The machines included no less than
19 valuable motor trucks. They disap

of the newly organized auto theft bu
reau, private detectives and deputy
sheriffs have been scouring the coun

The men arrested in Vancouver are
Frank L. Waller, Ben F. Walling,
D. G. Lebb and J. S. Lebb. Portland
loan brokers, and David A. Pepp, man
ager of the Daniels Sales agency. All
were released on bonds of $1500 each.
According to advlcea received in
Portland following the arrest, the
men arrested told the authorities that
they held equities in the machines and
for that reason tiey took them to
insure their getting their money.
xn alL a total of 13 machines were
located in Vancouver, according to
Harvey Thatcher, head of the aoto
theft bureau, and it was after the lo
cation of these machines that the ar
rests took place.
Charges against the five men were
preferred by Frank E. Myers, man
ager of the H. M. H. Electric company,
who is said to own one of the ma
chines taken from the garage.

vocational education as an alternative
to the cash bonus. These two plana
are a part of the American Legion's
programme. Its other selected plan
of government aid to soldiers and
sailors for building homes or obtain
ing ownership of farms were said by
some committee members to involve
too many difficulties to be worked
out by legislation before the recess.
Spokesmen for the committee said
it was planned to have the final draft
of the legislation ready for submis
sion to the house within a fortnight.
It was said that there had been no
decision as to whether the bonus
would be paid in a lump sum or be

the party rather than because I am
particularly fond of stepping.
The dance I really love is one
founded on the principles of beauty,
purity, sincerity and harmony. You
will agree with me that most of the
ballroom dances are founded on none
of these.
"I am of the opinion that dancing
must undergo an upheaval, a com
plete regeneration. Dancers, to my
way of thinking, must have an in
tensive appreciation for good music,
even a love of music, but by that
do not mean they should be actual
musicians, able to play an instrument,
"A dancer should feel every shade
of tone music and express it muscu
Iarly." Mrs. Kolb, who is May Cloy on the
programme, delivered these opinions
while seated on a trunk in her dress
ing room, which she shares with her
good friend and co-worker, Marie
Rich. Both are blondes.
While she is In Portland May Cloy
is spending every minute she isn't at

MEAT PRICES MAY GO UP
Packers See Danger In Refrigerator
Car Restrictions.
CHICAGO, April 2. Meat prices
will advance if the United States in
terstate commerce commission re
stricts the free use of refrigerator
cars to shipments of strictly packing
house products. Richard O'Hara of
Swift & Co. told that body today.
The National Wholesale Grocers"
association is petitioning for such
restriction of the packers' shipments.
W. P. Jones, car route manager for
Swift & Co., testified that the peddler
car system was established to supply
packing products to small towns and
villages. More than 9000 towns were
supplied at present, he said, but. If
cars were restricted to fresh meats,
the number would be reduced to 1200
W. E. Mallory, traffic manager for
Kingan & Co., meat packers, said
that the exclusion of packing house
products from cars would disrupt the
present system of distribution and
cause an increase in the price of
meats.
No Warrant Out.
As yet no action has been started
in Portland courts as a result of the
disappearance of the trucks and the
alleged involved finances surround
ing the matter. It is considered like
ly, however, that the entire matter
will ultimately be settled by a civil
act'on or civil actions, according to
announcement yesterday of parties
interested.
No warrant for the arrest of Junge
has yet been issued in Portland.
However. In case he Is located it was
declared that he would immediately
be taken into custody by the Burns
operatives. It is believed that some
effort would be made to untangle
the financial deals in which be is
said to have been Involved before any
definite action was taken against him.
Those who are said to have had deal
ings with him are more interested in
the recovery of their money than In
his prosecution, it was said.
Burns operatives declared that their
search for Junge was based on the
discount of an alleged duplicate sale
contract for a truck which the' man
is declared to have passed at a local
bank. The truck had already been
previously sold, they declare.
Junge is said to have not been Been
since last Sunday.
E. V. Littlef ield, attorney for Junge,
eaid last night that. Junge's affairs
were badly involved in a financial
way. He said that up until Saturday
night he had been meeting nightly
with Junge and going over various
propositions of a business character.
Gtraxc Is Stripped.
The sales garage of the concern
which Junge headed is believed to
have been entered and stripped of its
cars, of the estimated value of at
least $36,000, by the use of a key,
which is said to have been given
to one of the Lebb brothers. Ac
cording to Mr. Littlefield. one of the
Lebb brothers was to have acted as
a sales agent and a key to the place
was turned over to him.
The house--'which was occupied by
Junge at 351 East Forty-eighth street
south, was also reported yesterday to
have been stripped of its furniture.
The landlord reported that he dis
covered yesterday that the furniture
was missing.
Whether Junge had any consider
able amount of money on him at the
time of his disappearance waa not
known by officials yesterday. He is
said, however, to have received large
sums the preceding day as the result
of sales. and other transactions.
The agency had just moved into Its
new quarters the first of the year.
Junge was president and general man
ager of the agency and his wife acted
as vice-president.
Management Vnnatiafaetory.
The company is declared to have
been dissatisfied with Junge's man
agement of the agency and a repre
sentative had only arrived in the city
to cancel his agency. A reorganiza
tion of the agency will be carried out,
it was announced.
The disappearance of Junge and
that of the machines in the sales
rooms waa not the first mystery in
the history of the agency. On August
22 John T. Meldrum, partner with
Junge, was found dead in the Canyon
road below the Ford-street bridge.
irom which it was thought he 'had
jumped. A post mortem showed that
death was due to acute dilation of
the heart.
Industrial Engineers Representing
Garment Workers and Employ
ers Devise Method.
CLEVELAND, O., April 2. In an
effort to devise a method of wage
payment which will satisfy workers.
owners, managers and consumers.
firm of New York industrial engi
neers, employed jointly by unionized
employes and associated employers in
the Cleveland women's garment in
dustry, today announced a set of ten
principles of wage payment.
These principles are based upon
the Industrial experts' definition of
wages as a share In the fruits of in
dustry and not a payment made by
the employer.
"The wage is not paid by the em
ployer; he merely markets the prod
uct and acts as an agent to pay the
worker for the part he has done,
the wage and labor experts assert.
The principles of wage payment
comprise part of the Industrial engi
neers' first report to the Cleveland
Garment Manufacturers' association
and the International Women's Gar
ment Workers' union and the union's
Cleveland locals, affecting about 6000
workers.
Upon the methods suggested in the
experts' report and the decision of
the two parties to the plan will be
based the work of the industrial en
gineers in devising standards and
methods of payment.

Home in Southeast Portland Ran'
sacked by Thieves.
In quest of a quantity of wine from
the basement of the home of Fran
D'Angelo. 6015 Fifty-first street,
southeast, early yesterday morning
thieves also took a 20-gallon barre
of vinegar, according to a report
made to Inspector Joe Morak yester
day.
Besides the vinegar, the thieves are
said to have taken 20 gallons of wine.
The barrels, it Is said, were rolled
through a fence to the main road and
taken away in a machine.
publicity purposes by self-advertisers
can sign the petitions at the business
orTice. The petitions are for Multno
mah county. Petitions are now being
sent to various parts of the state, as
1000 names must be secured, from
seven different counties.
The purpose, in placing Senator
Lodge's name on the ballot is to head
off the three unknowns, Washington,
Adams and Webster, who are asking
the republican electorate of Oregon to
instruct the 10' Oregon delegates' to
vote for them for vice-president. If
the voters are to indicate a prefer
ence for vice-president, it is argued
by the republicans back of the Lodge
petitions, that they should at least
have the opportunity to vote for a
national figure, and not Instruct the
delegation to support a Washington,
Webster or Adams, who are unknown
to the people of this state.
Senator Lodge's name was selected
for the reason that it is possibly bet
ter known to a larger number of re
publican voters than that of most
other national leaders 'and that it will
attract thej voter when printed on the
same ballot with Adams, Washington
and Webster.
SALEM. Or., April 2. (Special.)
Circuit Judges Kelly and Bingham, In
an order Issued here tonight, perma
nently restrained W. I. Needham and
other local officials from collecting
any taxes levied in Marlon county
for the year 1920 in excess of the 6
per cent limitation.
As a result of the order levies In
tended to raise $26,000 for common
school purposes, $12,000 with which
to provide a high school tuition fund
and $10,000 toward the construction of
the proposed Sllverton armory will
have to be eliminated from the tax
rolls. The order of the court refers
especially to chapters 156. 171 and 172
of the Oregon laws, enacted at the
919 session of the legislature.
Action to forestall the collection
of all tax levies In Marlon county In
excess of the 6 per cent limitation
was authorized at a recent meeting
of the local taxpayers' league. At a
later date legal proceedings were
instituted in the circuit court here
by Edward Jory, who under the
terms of the complaint would have
been affected to the amount of $156.
District Attorney Gehlhar filed a
demurrer to the complaint last week,
but this was- overruled by Judge
Kelley and the case was considered
on its merits.
Because local attorneys declare the
decision of Judge Kelley and Judge
singnam win arcect the collection of
taxes in practically every county In
Oregon the action probably will be
carried to the supreme court for final
determination.
Mr. Jory is a member of the Marlon
County Taxpayers' league and was
among those present at the recent
meeting of the organization who voted
to oppose any and all of the mlllage
tax levies to be submitted to the
voters of the state at the special elec
tion to be held on May 21.
bherirr Needham announced tonight
that in compliance with the order he
would immediately cease collecting
the taxes levied under chapters 251,
271 and 272. which furnished the basis
for the suit.

With Jugo-Slavia and Ot
. toman Nation.
ROME, April 2. Premier Nittl.
speaking to the senate today, urged a
more humane conception of interna
tional relations and advocated a
measure of leniency toward the Ger
man people. A bad interpretation of
international relations had caused
German militarism, Russian bolshe
vlsm and Mussulman fanaticism to
join forces against western civiliza
tion, he declared, but Italy must be
the standard-bearer of the message of
humanity and sincerity, showing her
self not exacting.
The imperial government of Ger
many had committed many sins, Sig
nor Nltti continued, but the patient,
laborious and intelligent German peo
ple must not bear all the punishment
for them. He urged that Germany be
allowed raw materials to enable her
industries to flourish and permit her
to fulfill her engagements.
Premier Nittl declared respect for
the fundamental laws of civilization
must be demanded from the Russian
government in exchange for entering
into economic relations with Russia.
He said good relations with Turkey
were indispensable because of the
commercial opportunities.
Signor Nltti reiterated his deter
mination that the friendly relations
with the Jugo-Slavs be followed by a
commercial treaty between Italy and
Jugo-Slavla, asserting that this feel
ing was reciprocated by the Belgrade
government, as had been proved by
the Serbian premier's new year tele
gram expressing his hope for friend
ship between the two countries.
