TTTE MORIVTXG OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, APRIIi 11, 1933 4 lOillOMILIJGE TAX PUNS ME LI Committee of Grange and Reduction League Meets. 5 BEADY TO CONTINUE GOSPEL d TWO MEASURES POSSIBLE If Series of Subjects Cannot Be Combined Suitably, Then Is sues Will Be Separated. One initiative measure, combining & state income tax, repeal of the 1.2 millage and enforcing assessment of property at full cash value, with con cessions for farm property, was the plan adopted yesterday by a commits tee of the etate grange and the tax reduction league. The measure will be prepared in two or three weeks. If it is found that the whole eub ject, or series of subjects, cannot be euitably combined in one measure, then there will be two measures pre pared for the initiative. Those attending the meeting were J. C. Cooper, president of the tax reduction-league; C. E. Spense, master of the etate grange; J. D. Brown, W. H. Strar-er and Chris SchuebeL Measure Is Submitted. So far as Mr. Cooper was concerned, he was satisfied to submit a measure wiping out the millage tax and let It go at that. This plan failed to meet with general support from the others attending the meeting. Mr. Spence is bead of the grange and of the grange committee which has been directed to prepare a state Income tax to be initiated In November. The conference finally agreed ten tatively on a combination measure which includes the income tax, amending the law assessing property and taking care of the institutions of higher learning. The Income tax is to be a graduated rate, ranging from one-half of 1 per cent up to 10 per cent. The minimum of exemption has been vaguely set as $2000 or $2500, the exact amount to be. determined later. It may be dropped to J1000. In the matter of assessment, the plan calls for assessment at full cash value, with the exception that farm property .shall be assessed at one third of the cash value. The plan to make assessments in full has teeth in it, according to Chris Schuebel who fathers this idea. It requires assessors to demand inventories erf stocks and provides for the district attorney to start prosecutions against those who fail or refuse to co-openate with the assessor in arriving at the full cash value of property to be 'as sessed. While the repeal of the 1.2 mills for the institutions of higher learning is provided for in the omnibus bill, the old three-tenths of a mill for the university and four-tenths of a mill for the college is to be maintained. banker, educator and former ; state i senator, died here at noon today of a paralytic stroke believed to have resulted -from injuries sustained in a recent accident.

LEADERS ARE CONFIDENT Bipillllllpliilli - 'I I v I New Plan Is Explained. The argument advanced is that with the property assessed . at full cash value this reduced millage will pro duce for the university and college about as much money as fs now raised under the 1.2 mills. The idea is that Oregon, under the new valuation sys tem instead of being a billion-dollar etate will be a three billion-dollar states. Providing, after caxeful delibera tion, it is discovered that all these eubjects cannot well be worked into one measure, the committee will split them and propose two measures, one dealing with the income tax alone and the other with the assessments and repeal of the 1.2 millage.

BANDIT'S PAL IDENTIFIED JOHN Jj. BURNS WITH SLAYER, WITNESS DECLARES. Itinerant Laborer Gives Testimony in Trial for Murder of Rail road Special Agent. With the same positive air as in the other two trials, Harry Patterson, Itinerant laborer, pointed to John L. Burns yesterday in the courtroom of Circuit Judge Stapleton, identifying him as, the companion of Dan Casey on the night Casey and another box car bandit shot -and killed James H. Phillips, railroad special agent, in a pistol duel in the Albina railroad yards. Patterson was sitting on a flatcar, his destination The Dalles, when Casey and the other man passed him while the train was halted in the yards.

Robert Cramp ton McCroskey, pioneer j Early Influences Bearing on Irreg ularity of Teeth Also Are Explained to Mothers. The importance of bathing small babies correctly was emphasized yesterday in the first clinic of well baby week by a demonstration which was supplemented by individual con ferences with mothers who attended the meeting. A baby's bath was de clared to be one of the most vital elements contributing to its health and mothers were urged to study the methods shown at the clinic. This subject will be repeated during the week as the opening topic of each day's programme. Early influences bearing on the irregularity of teeth were discussed by Dr. William C. Cavanaugh, who explained how crooked teeth originate and outlined some of the methods used to correct such faults. Dr. Cavanaugh said that a simple method to straighten protuding teeth was to have the child play a. cornet or a trombone, or whistle. He added that as any pursing of the lips tended to push the teeth back and lengthen the short upper lip. He said that oral deformities were seldom due to heredity and could usually be cor rected. "Make children chew to exercise their jaw muscles," he continued, "in order that their jaws will be de veloped sufficiently to make room for their second teeth. This should be done from the time they are two years old so that their jaws will be ready to take care of their permanent teeth. Many sets of inadequate teeth are caused by improperly developed jaws." Arleta babies were examined in the afternoon clinic by Dr. Ivan Wooley, and the life-saving value of well baby clinics was explained by Dr. C. Ulysses Moore. This talk was followed by the daily health play, given by school children. Today at the mothers' conference hour three things will be discussed. Bathing will be first. Then Miss A. B. Sproule. dietitian for Good Samaritan nospital, will give a dem onstration in the preparation of foods. Individual interviews with . public health nurses will conclude the hour. Dr. S. C. Kohs, psychologist from the court of domestic relations, will speak at 11 o'clock on the child's mental progress during the first five years. In the afternoon. Miss Elnora Thomson, baby specialist, will discus habit training. Dr. Anderson Wins Support of Other Churchmen; Week's Pro gramme Opens at Pantages. After a day of rest yesterday the united gospel, crusade party is ready today to launch into another week of strenuous effort. Leaders of the crusade were greatly encouraged by the almost capacity congregation Sunday night, and believe that in spite of the many passion week serv ices being held in all parts of the city, the attendance at the tabernacle services will be good throughout the week. Dr. George Wood Anderson, leader of the crusade, appears to have been taken off the "probation roll" on which Methodists put all "new mem bers," and has been taken Into what might be termed "full membership," or full confidence, by Methodism of the city. Demonstration by the cru sader that he could lead a great re vival campaign without resorting to anything spectacular or vulgar Has won for him etrong support not only from the Methodists, but also from other denominations. Several active clergymen from other denominations are regular attendants at the taber nacle meetings who do not conflict with the hours of their own church services. Pastors of all denomina tions have been invited to occupy seats on the platform with the Meth odist clergymen. The first meeting of the week will be at 12:10 P. M. today at the Pan tages theater, when Dr. Anderson will conduct the pre-Easter service arranged by the Portland Council of Churches. He will also speak at the same hour Wednesday, Thursday and Jriday at similar services. Tonight the crusader will give his sermon, "The Empty Chair." Guests at tonight's service will be the Sun day schools from Central, Woodlawn, Patton, University Park, St. Johns, African Methodist Episcopal and First German Methodist churches. They will occupy reserved sections of the tabernacle. Obituary. iliiiiiiip t.:K. Mrs. Elizabeth Mary Goble.

CITY EXTENSION OPPOSED Large Tracts of Unimproved Iiand Held Cause of High Taxes. Criticism of the policy of extending the city limits was voicea yesterday by C. G. Woodward. J 49 East Seventy ninth street, who said that large tracts of unimproved lands within the city limits on which no city taxes are paid are responsible for the high rates of taxation prevalent. "Our city has grown to such pro portions," Mr. Woodward said, "and contains so much unoccupied and unimproved land, that the cost of civic improvement is increased be cause the taxation must be borne by plotted ground and the holders of the non-plotted escape. The only remedy I can see is to hold the city within its present limits, forcing those owning acreage and holding lots and tracts for speculation within the city limits to bear the same bur den of taxation as the small home owner."
