St. Joseph's strikers cast 700 votes,
Mr. Lane said, and 98 per cent of
the votes favored continuing the
strike. Albert Lea, Minn., voted 100
per cent to continue the strike, union
officials said.
Strike In Effect Seven Weeks.
Today's vote came after the strike
had been In effect for seven weeks
and offers of the union to settle the
dispute by arbitration met with no
success.
The strike was called after the
larger packing plants had negotiated
agreements directly with their em
ployes providing for a cut in wages
and had refused to recognize the
union.
The packers employed other work
men and, while some of the smaller
plants were badly crippled, most of
them continued to, operate. The gov
ernment attempted to arbitrate the
strike, but the larger packers refused
to do so, contending there was noth
ing to arbitrate.

INCOME TAX HELD KEY
(ContlnnM From First Pmr.)
are caupht by the federal income tax.
These persons would be forced to
contribute their quota, through a
state income tax. to the cost of main
taining the stte government. The
commissioners see no other means of
reaching this class, who are generally
professional men.
About half of the wealth of the
state dodges taxation because of its
Intangible character. This means se
curities, notes, money and the like
This wealth Is of a sort which is
easily kept under cover and cannot
be found by an assessor. Only
through a tax on incomes, It Is be
lieved, can this great mass of wealth
be made to bear its part on the
turdn.
Property Tax Held Unfair.

the owner of intangible property.
Each assessor in Oregon follows
his own bent in making assessments.
Timber of the same kind and quality
In adjoining counties part of the
same forest belt is not assessed
alike. The same is true of sheep,
horses, cattle, swine, tillable land and
non-tillable land. It costs more to
own a dog in some counties than to
own the most pure-blood stock in
others. This inequality of assess
ment results in millions of dollars'
worth of property paying but a trifle.
If any taxes.
State Assessor Proposed.
The commission has a well-defined
Idea in the matter of assessments. It
favors some central body, perhaps a
state assessor, who will appoint
competent assessors for the several
counties, and do away with the elec
tion of these county officers. - The
wis!) back of this thought Is to have
a fair assessment on each class of
property, which shall be uniform
throughout the state. .
When the commission was an
pointed a year ago there was some
talk among the members of placing
the motor vehicles back on the prop
erty list, so that counties could re
ceive some benefit. W. B. Dennis
presented figures to the commission
showing that under the present
license system, the counties are re
ceiving more from the automobiles
than they con Id under the old prop
erty tax and that returning the cars
to tne tax roll would compel the
abolishment of the license plan on
which the road bonds have been
issued. In answer to an inquiry
frorrv. the commission, Mr. Dennis
expressed the belief that another
$10,000,000 bond issue cannot be car
ried by the present license plan.
Ben Sheldon suggested that onlj
part of the road bonds be retired at
the peak year by extending some for
a longer period, those to be extended

BOOTLEG PRICES BOOSTED
Arrival of New Dry Campaigner
Startles San Franciscans.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 26. (Sne-
cial.) Bootleggers, within the last 24
hours, since the arrival of E. C. Yel
lowley, chief of the mobile prohibi
tion forces, have levied a "yellowley
hazard tax" on their products, which
overnight has jumped the price of
Illicit liquor to unheard of figures.
The tax Increase; according to prom
inent bootleggers, amounts to an addi
tion of 20 per cent over standard mar-
Ket Dootleg prices. The tax is intended
to cover the additional precautions
made necessary by Yellowley's ap
pearance in the city, and the con
sumer has been billed with the "Yel
lowley hazard in mak'ng purchases.
Following is the revised scale of
prices under which bootleg liquor Is
being sold since Yellowley's arrival:

SENATE ACTION DOUBTFUL
Democrats Lose in Attempt to De
feat Measure, trht Will
Continue Fight.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 26. The
house today declared itself in favor
of the federal government's exerting
its authority in an effort to stamp
out lynching, passing by a vote of
230 to 119 the Dyer anti-lynchlng
bill.
Seventeen republicans joined 102
democrats in voting opposition, while
eight democrats and - one socialist,
London, New York, voted with 221
republicans in favor of the measure.
Republicans who voted in the nega.
tlve included Barbour, California;
Curry, California; French, Idaho;
Nolan, California, and Parker, New
Jersey; Robertson, Oklahoma, and
Sinnott. Oregon.
The bill provides life Imprisonment
or lesser penalties for persons who
participate in lynchings and for state,
county and municipal officials who
fail through negligence to prevent
them. . The measure also stipulates
that the county in which 'mobs form
or kill any one shall forfeit $10, 000
to the family of the victim.
Democratic opponents defeated in
attempts to recommit the bill to the
Judiciary committee and to strike out
the enacting clause, made, no con
certed effort to have amendments
adopted. They declared "the vicious
principle of the bill" could not be
changed by amendments, but ex
pressed confidence that the measure
never would receive senate approval.
Except for a few perfecting amend
ments offered by Chairman Volstead
of the judiciary committee, amend
ments proposed by individuals were
rejected. One by Representative
French, republican, Idaho, would have
eliminated the provision requiring
counties to forfeit $10,000 to families
of mob victims.
One committee amendment ap
proved removed from the bill the re
quirement that counties tnrougn
which a mob" passed should pay a
$10,000 penalty. Another one accepted
defined a mob as three or more per
sons acting together to take human
life illegally.
