Six years in the penitentiary was
the sentence parsed on J. C. Johnson,
accused of robbing his benefactor.
Iver J. Rosten, of $32,000 during the
last three years, by Presiding Circuit
Judge Kavanaugh yesterday after
noon. Johnson pleaded guilty to the
theft of more than $10,000, explaining
that he had spent it on a woman bar
ber with whom he had been infatu
ated. As to the $32,000 total "that's
more than I know of," he declared.
Johnson was placed in charge of the
office of the Iver J. Rosten company.
railroad contracting concern, in April,
1918. He had access to all the ac
counts, and prepared and paid the
bills. His employer trusted him im
plicitly and, woul.1 leave signed checks
for Johnson to fill In.
Systematic Theft Practiced.
Since May, 1919, Johnson- systemat
ically robbed his employer. The stubs
of the check books would show real
accounts paid, the checks themselves
often would be made out in large
amounts to Johnson and cashed by
him. So cleverly did he manipulate
the books and records that nothing
wrong was uncovered in.twt audits
by certified public accountants.
Mrs. Kosten told Judge Kavanaugh
of the circumstances of Johnson's em
ployment. She said he long had been
suspected of helping himself to the
firm's money, but it had been diffi
cult to prove. He had nine tailor
made suits and bought a woman with
whom he kept 'company sealskin coats
and diamonds, she said.
Johnson, in a statement made to the
court, denied the nine tailor-made
suits, saying he had only one or two
tailor-made and a few cheap suits. He
admitted spending much money on one
Rae Haddox, lady barber, who is
now in Aberdeen and has refused to
come to his rescue or disgorge any of
the spoils.
Asked by the Judge why he had
given the money and presents to the
woman, Johnson said:
"The first time she told me she was
sick and needed money. 1 .
Johnson did not display a great
deal of sympathy for the Rosten com
pany. which was almost wrecked
through his peculations, nor did he
display visible signs of remorse, ex
cept for the calm comment. If I
could live over these two or three
years it would be different."
Salary Question Diacuaaed.
"Did you think you had a right to
take some of the company a money
because you were . not receiving
enough salary?" District Attorney
Evans asked Johnson.
That might have had, something to
do with it, conceded the thier, who
had been drawing $200 a month as
salary. He had told James R. Bain,
attorney for Rosten, that "any man
who handled as much money as I did
and did not get more than $200 a
month was a fool not to help him
self." The gross annual profit of the
concern last year was $190,000, he
declared.
Tom Garland, appointed by the court
to defend Johnson, pleaded for len-
ency on the ground that Rosten was
partially to blame for taking a man
who was almost a stranger and plac-
ng him in command of so much
money with no adequate check on his
activities.
The lawyer also pointed to the fact
that Johnson stayed in Portland five
days after knowing he was to be ac
cused of the theft and did not try
to run away.
T knew that I was caught, but I
stayed here." explained Johnson him
self. . "I was sick and tired and was
glad the suspense was over."
Johnson came from Norway In 1911.
He evaded eervice in the world war.
DANCE DEBATE PROPOSED

Saturday, June 4, Date Set; Elec
torate to Be Judges, Render
ing Decision at Polls.
McMINNVILLE, Or., May 20. (Spe
cial.) The local moral alliance, an
organization. recently effected in this
city, has issued a debate challenge
on the public dance question as it is
now before the voters of the city.
The alliance is opposed to the' public
dance hall and the proposed charter
amendment which haa been initiated
by friends of the public dance hall. '
The question proposed for debate
is: "Resolved, That the interests of
a greater McMinnvllle demand the
ratification of the ordinance provid
ing for the elimination of the public
dance hall from our city and the de
feat of the proposed charter amend-
meat.
The challenge provides that the de
bate be staged in the city auditorium
on the evening of Saturday, June 4.
and that the debaters be residents of
McMinnvllle. The presiding officer is
to be selected by the debaters and the
judges are to be "the electorate of
McMinnvllle rendering decision at the
polls on June 7, 1921."
The controversy over the dance
question in this city has resulted in
two measures being put on the bal
lot at the coming election. One is
referred ordinance -prohibiting the
conduct of public dance halls within
the city. This ordinance was passed
by the council, vetoed by Mayor
Houck, passed over the mayor's veto
and then referred to the people.
The other is an initiated amend
ment to the citv charter takine from

lie dance hall and the moving picture '
theaters and placing it in the hands
of a board appointed by the mayor.
The measure also provides that the
council shall not pass any rigid Sun
day closing law or religious regula
tion or other law respecting the per
sonal conduct of Individuals in their
dally life in the doing of things not
condemned or prohibited by state or
national law.
The local moral alliance proposed
a debate upon both the measures, but
the opposition has challenged to de
bate upon the charter amendment
alone.
OBSTINACY IS COSTLY
Miscalculation Also Gets Dinner
Host Into Trouble.
A miscalculation in his cash and
the obstinacy of an Invited guest
caused Charles Westberg to pass a
night in jail and pay $10 into the
treasury of the city of Portland ye'
terday. Westberg invited Robert
Johnson to a dinner party at 141
North Sixth street Thursday night
and did the honors in royal style.
When the waiter came around with
the check Westberg shook 30 cents
out of his pocket. It was not a tip,
but Westberg's free-will offering for
a meal. Johnson refused to pay for
the meal when he had been an invited
guest. As a result Johnson also took
breakfast on Westberg's score, for
they dined at the police Nation and
Westberg settled the bill munici
pal court. Westberg plead! 1 guilty
to a charge of drunkenness, jonnson
was discharged.

3 COUNTIES PASS LIMIT
SIARIOX. CLACKA3LS, POLK
EXCEED LEGAL TAX.
Refund of All More Than 6 Per
Cent Limitation Held Likely If
- Court Action Is Taken.
SALEM", Or., May 20 (Special.)
Three Oregon counties, Marlon, Clack
amas and Polk, apparently have ex
ceeded the constitutional limitation
in their tax levies for this year, ac
cording to the records in the office
of the state tax commissioner.
Marion county's excess amounts to
$33,342; Clackamas county. $28,638.37.
and Polk county, $10,264.18. An ex
cess of approximately $139,000 was
discovered in the Linn county levy,
but this was corrected before the
collecting of taxes got under way.
In Marion,. Clackamas and Polk
counties a rebate of the excess to the
taxpayers will be necessary should
court proceedings be Instituted to
test the legality of the levy. The
Clackamas county levy totals $926,
035.94, while the legal limit is $897.-
397.57. In Polk county the levy totals
$408,114.40, whereas the constitutional
limit is $397,850.22. Marion county's
total tax levy, figures of the tax
commissioner show, is $1,081,460.78.
while under the limitation act it
should not have exceeded $1,048,118.71).
It was said today that responsi
bility for these excess levies does not
rest altogether with the county
courts. Assessors in extending the
taxes on the rolls sometimes con
fine their figures In even mills or
tenths of a mill, which In many cases
increases the total levy to a sum in
excess of that actually authorized,
according to the tax commissioner.

Firestone Plant No. 2
Daily Capacity 16,000 Tires; 20,000 Tubes
Devoted Exclusively to the
Manufacture of
30x3JSSize
Non-Skid Type
How the Price of $13.95 on-30x3.-inch
Firestone Tires Was Made Possible
It is in this period of much
needed economy that the full
benefit of Firestone's develop
ment can best be recognized.
The advantage of having two
great individual plantshas per
mitted specialization in the
highest degree. Plant No. 1 is
devoted to 'the production of
Firestone cordstires tht are
accepted as the highest devel
opment of tire building. Tire
repair men who judge values
best, class it as the sturdiest
carcass made. Forty-seven car
manufacturers have adopted
Firestone cords as regular
equipment .during 1921.
Plant No. 2 was erected for
the sole purpose of making
30x3H Non-Skid fabric tires.
With a daily capacity of 16,000
tires and 20,000 tubes, this
plant permits refined produc
tion on a quantity basis. Its
output was 13,700 tires per day
during April.
It is such basic economies
that enable Firestone to
make a price of $13.95 on this
standard 30x3H tire the low
est price ever made on ' a
standard tire.
Firestone dealers help make
this $13.95 price possible by
accepting a smaller profit per
sale on this fast selling tire.
We see today the fulfilling
of what Firestone men have
worked for public support in
soundly ratifying the Firestone
standard of "Most Miles per
Dollar."
