" FTATK HOCPr:. Salem, Or.. Feb. 9. (.Special.) Compromise was ef fected tonight over the method of appointing the tax supervising com mission, when Representative Gor don had everything ready to ngnt the proposal to have the legislature name the commissioners. The under standing now it may be a different understanding by morning is that the legislature will name the three commissioners to serve four years; that the governor can fill vacancies and make reappointments. STATE HOUSE7s"alem, Or.. Feb. 9. (Special.) To resist the attempt of Senator Hume to have the legislature and not the governor appoint the per sonnel of the tax supervision com mission. Representative Gordon put! en hia warpaint tonight. The Gor don bill calls for the appointment of a commission of three to supervise the budgets of all tax-levying bod les in Multnomah county, and Invests the appointive power In the governor, At a meeting of the Multnomah senate delegation today Hume pro tested against the governor having such power for political control in Portland and Multnomah county, and effered an amendment to have the legislature name the commissioners. This amendment provides that the men appointed by the legislature shall hold until January. 1923, and that the people shall elect commis sioners for four-year terms beginning with the general election In 1922. i Sleasore'a Success fevldeat. For a while this afternoon there iras a disposition on the part of Gor don to consider having the commis sioners named in the bill, and a list of names, supplied by Hume, was gone over repeatedly, but without success. At one time S. L. Eddy, R. ,L- Sabin and J. O. Elrod were ten tatively selected, but whenever a combination of three was proposed It later was discarded for one reason or another. Finally Mr. Gordon conclud ed that he would not recede from bis original position that of having the commissioners appointed by the gov ernor. A poll of the senate shows that there Is more than enough votes to - puss the tax measure, but whether Hume's talk about the people elect jng the commission will have any effect remains to be seen. Mr. Gor don was arranging details for cam palgning his measure through the senate tonight with every evidence of success. Bath Reverse Stands. when the senate delegation met today and a number of amendments were read by Senator Moser and were accepted by the delegation, Hume offered his own amendments, de signed to prevent the governor from making the appointments and ar ranging for election by the people. In this he was joined by Senator Joseph, although both of these sena tors, when the port development bills were under consideration In the senate, fought against the legisla ture naming the port commissioners. Hume's amendment was that the legislature name the commissioners to serve until 1923 and that at the general election in 1922 the voters of Multnomah county elect members of the commission for a four-year period. Also Hume wanted $10 a day paid to the commissioners for every day engaged. Ma Gordon resisted the idea of compensation, saying that lie fears that with a $10 a day pay there may be men who would want to be on the commission for that remuneration. The state highway commission -receives no compensation and that Is the reason, said Mr. Gordon, why the highway commis sion has always had a personnel of the highest type of men. List of Nism Presented. The legislature, contended Hume, knows how to pick men for the tax commission as well as the governor and Hume submitted a list of names from which he wanted selections made ty the legislature. The list included B. F. Josselyn, P. R. Malcolm. Morton II. Insley, Earl C. Bronaugh. William Killingsworth. E. B. McNaughton, George D. Schalk, L. J. Goldsmith, J. O. Elrod and R. L. Sabin. Placing the power of appointment In the hands of the governor would jrive him control of the purse strings and the politics of Multnomah county, argued Hume. After building up an 'elaborate statement of the danger of politics In such a commission, Hume finally confessed that his reason for not wanting the governor to appoint nas because he, Hume, did not want I. N. Day or Henry E. Reed for the commission. Mr. Gordon stated that Mr. Reed Vice-President's Warning That Demon.-,! rat ion Will Not Be Tol erated Generally Heeded. WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 9. The election of W. G. Harding as presi dent and of Calvin Coolidge as vice president was formally declared to day at a joint session of the senate and house. . With dull solemnity and without demonstration such as marked the "elections" of President Wilson, the two bodies canvassed the votes cast by the electors chosen at the elections last November 2. The formal vote, tallied with the informal results known to the Dublic on the dav after election, with 404 votes for Mr. Hard- Ing and Mr. Coolidge and 127 for James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roose velt, democrats. Vice-President Marshall presided and gave an effectual warning agains any demonstration for an occasio which, he said, "was solemn and im portant and should be carried through In silence. Unlike many pre vious occasions, the vice-president' warning was heeded, except for a tit ter over slip-ups- of the tellers in pronouncing the names of states and announcement of the results. By a coincidence Senator Lodge, re publican floor leader, who acted as a teller, announced the first votes, rrom Alabama, for Messrs. Cox and Roosevelt, while Senator Underwood of Alabama, democratic teller, an nounced the first returns for Messrs, Harding and Coolidge from Arisona, in the alphabetical canvass of the electors' vote. A large gallery audience, compoed mostly of women, watched the pro ceedings, which were completed In about half an hour. BY SENATE BILL 250 Millions, 18 for New Hospitals, Voted.

Existing prices and wage scaies of the United States Steel corporation are to con tinue, declared Ei'oert H. Gary, chairman of the board, to newspaper men today. Som Independent companies, he un derstood, had made efforts to sell their products below current quota tions, but he asserted that the United States Steel corporation has no in tention at this time of changing its selling prices. The subject of re ducing wages among its 265,000 em ployes has not even been up for con- not promising and Mr. Harding de-1 sideration, he added elded he could not prolong his vaca tion. With his return Mr. Harding is to take up not only the final selection of a cabinet, but many other ques tions. Although he has a more or less definite idea on most of these subjects, it is known that the crucial decisions are to be made. He is hold ing his mind open on virtually every one of the cabinet places. During his houseboat trip to Miami, which began February 22, only the most' pressing " business telegrams have been forwarded to him. When he reached his headquarters here he found that more than 100 messages en a single subject were awaiting him as well as a great amount of mail.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9. Representa tives of 57 commercial organizations in New York, New England, New Jer sey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Mary land and West Virginia today organ iced the Eastern Time Daylight Sav ing association. The association will seek to have congress pass a daylight-saving law, applicable at least to all states in the eastern time zone. "It seems to me," he continued, "that any manufacturer of steel who contemplates reducing selling prices below the basis fixed by the Indus trial board in March, 1919, nlust have In mind the intention of reducing wages accordingly, thereby charging the difference to the working people. It so, the manufacturer is wrong and unfair, unless, of course, the present selling prices are higher than they ought to be, which would be unaif to the consumers, or wage rates are higher than they should be." In answer to charges by Comptrol ler Williams that steel prices are too high. Judge Gary pointed out that these products had twice been re duced since the armistice and that his corporation continued to maintain its quotations of March, 1919. although both wages and freight rates have climbed upward. He was optimistic regarding the general outlook for business, but as serted that governmental taxes and the failure of the government to pay what it owes the railroads are the principal factors retarding the return to more satisfactory conditions. "The present taxes are too big," he said. ' "They absorb too large a part of incomes, materially interfere with desired extension and improvements and ham.ier business. "Millions upon millions of dollars are due the railroads and their failure to receive the money delays pur chases, and even prevents them mak fag payments on contracts, which. In turn, embarrasses others and pre vents a return to expected better con ditions." Spokane Man Kills Wife, Brother and Himself. JEALOUSY PROMPTS TRAGEDY Triple Shooting Is Without Any Words.

According to Taylor Harding charged his brother with having gone to Port land with his wife, after having left his own wife and three children at Missoula, Mont.

"I was in the room with mamma and Carl for about an hour," said i the girl. "Everybody behaved alright. think Carl knew Elmer was out side. He acted like it. There was a knock on the door. Mama knew who it was but she wouldn't let him in. He must have been there for half an hour. I thought he just wanted to come in. I didn't think it would be so terrible. I think mama was afraid. Elmer beat her often. . Mama was black and blue from being beaten, and she was knocked unconscious three times about a month ago, when we lived on Hangman creek. Mama and Elmer quarreled many times. He wouldn't let her go any place. Grandma often told mama to be careful. She told mama to leave Elmer and to leave Spokane. "After we had been talking in the room Carl got up and said he would have to go to work. Shots and Groan Heard. "He opened the door and stepped out. I heard a shot and a groan, then Elmer ran , into the room and shot mamma. He didn't say anything just shot three times. "I ran out. I heard two shots at I ran out. I didn't know where I was running and never saw mamma again. "Oh, I liked Carl, but I didn't like Elmer. He said he would kill mamma if she left him and mamma was afraid. She thought he would do anything. "He said he would kill her and he did. Oh,"- said Emma, with the first trace of breaking down, "It was terri ble." "I was afraid that something would happen to my daughter," said Mrs. Mary Danforth, 726 First avenue, mother of the slain woman," when we arrived from Portland yesterday morning. I got a room at a hotel and told Marie to stay there with me. But she was a woman and knew her mind and she went down to the other hotel. Mrs. Harding: Visits Portland. "Time and again, I asked her to have nothing to do with the Hard ings. I did not know much about Carl; he was a stranger to me. I told her to leave tbe Hardings and Spokane.

That was before one paid a per sonal visit to the Turevany domicile at 747 Fourth street. Now, however, the situation is dif ferent. One huge boulder is nestled inno cently about halfway inside of Ture vany's house. Four or five more are romping around on the hilltop above, just waiting for a chance to Join the first, at least, so Tony says. And Tony Is worried. Tony marshaled his troubles In grand array last night and marched them in review before Assistant Com missioner Johnson of the department of public works. The Turevany home, it seems. Is situated in an unfortunate position at the base of Marquam hill, directly be neath the site of the construction work for the new county hospital. Earth was excavated for the site of the hospital and piled on the hillside. Rains came. The hillside started down. The Turevany home was on the line of march. "Good Lord, my Gosh!" commented Tony last night. "There were a bees crash and my house, it shake almos" to piece. My wife, she holler, "black hand; bomb; police!" but I start out to find trouble. This boulder, he al most push house over. Break all the dishes and make my house look all squeegee." Johnson promised to have some thing done in the matter. Good Declares Halt in Ex penses Must Come.

With a warning to the house that the mount ing wave of high taxation would no" roll back without a sharp and sweep ing reduction in government expendi tures. Chairman Good of the appro priations committee, declared today the time had come to call a halt. Huge figures wera hurled over the heads of members as Mr Good told dramatically of the vast sums ex pended and the appeals for mon. There was a shout of approval 'wher he Insisted that the approprlatio.i bills must be passed before March 2. so that the framers of a new tar'Cf ,'aw may know the amount of clo'hr out of which they must patch th nation's coat. :i,50U.OOO,000 Held I.lmlt. Laying down the definite pollc that expenses must be cut befort) talking of lower taxes, Mr. Good In sisted that appropriations for tin year beginning July should be ktlt within three and a half billion dol lars, virtually the sum recommend--l in the big supply measures for that period. Mr. Good's plea for government economy was made in presenting the first deficiency bill for the present year, carrying $203,000,000. Demo cratic members of the committee de clared there would be other de ficiency sums, and Representative Byrnes, democrat. South Carolina, de clared direct appropriations this year had passed the ,3,000.000,000 mark. This stupendous sum could best be understood, he added, by the fact that In order to meet It the govern ment must levy an average tax of J 00 on every man, woman and child. Tariff Declared Keatrlcted. In suggesting methods of raising revenue w'thout making the burden on the individual more severe than it has bene since the early days of the war, Mr. Good said he doubted if a tariff law 'could raise more than 1400,000,000 without disturbing inter national trade relations. Urging repail of the excess profits tax, Mr. Good said: "We shall not need the revenues that have been brought In by the excess profits tax if we cut down ap propriations. There is where we can effect a saving. It will be a system of economy and the financing of tem porary loans, such ss our certifi cates of Indebtedness, the war savings stamps and the victory loan. It ought to be done by borrowing money rather than by taxing the American people." Sales Tax Called Dangerous. At this point, Mr. Good was Inter rupted by Representative Oldfleld, democrat, Arkansas, who said ha feared the republican party would Im pose a sales tax to take the place ot the one It wanted to repeal. The party that Is so foolish as to place a sales tax on the backs and the bellies of the American people," Mr. Good replied, "would go down to humiliating defeat, because the people would not stand for it." Mr. Good said the higher tax of $6.40 a gallon should be imposed on withdrawal of liquors from bonded warehouses liquors taken out for edicinal and used for beverage pur poses, uy lining tne tax irom he figured, the treasury revenue would be increased from $30,000,000 to (100,000,000. By demanding the same tax on the tobacco industry that. Great Britain collects, he said, trea sury receipts from this commodity would jump from $300,000,000 to $300,- 000,000 a year. He also advocated a higher tax on passenger carrying automobiles, rlgur'ng on a revenue of about $20,000,000, half of which should go, he thought, to the roads. Liquor Officials Attacked. Prohibition Commissioner Kramer, nternal Revenue Commissioner Wil liams and the Anti-baloon League came in for a sharp attack ty Mr. Good, who indulged In a tilt with Representative Volstead (rep.) of Minnesota, author of the prohibition enforcement law. Representative Good charged that the appropriation committee had found "irregular things" which "ought not to be permitted," and added that Mr. Kramer and other en forcement officials did not "seem to know" what was going on in their department. Mr. Volstead defended Mr. Kramer. He charged that a persistent effort was being made to discredit the en forcement of prohibition. "The force is not perfect." he de clared. "It had to be thrown together hurriedly, the salaries are small and there were some men who were not , strictly honest, as Is found In every t Concluded ou 1'aao Cw.auut 4J
