After a two-hour conference with
Assistant State Superintendent
Banks Robertson, District Attorney
Myers announced yesterday afternoon
that enough prima facie evidence had
. been presented to him to merit

I nancial methods of the defunct State
I Bank of Portland, and particularly
1 the transactions handled under the
J direction of Leroy Walker and An

president respectively of the institu

At the earliest open date, ' these
matters -will be taken before the

which must be examined. It is un
likely any attempt will be made to
get the affair before the April panel
as Us term ends this week.
Others To Be Involved.
In asserting: that the evidence war
rants a grand Jury probe, Mr. Myers
eaid he was not passing judgment in
- the matter, brft that he believed that
transactions unearthed demanded ex
planation before that body. He said
it was not at all unlikely that others
than Walker and Eckern might be in

civu action filed Monday in the cir
cuit court charging them with un
loading their stock in the consoll

through misrepresentation.
Both Walker and Eckern were said
to have approved of heavy loans to
concerns In which they were person
ally interested, loans far in excess of
the amount warranted by the obvious
risk involved.

of Professor E. E. Schuster of Ore

with paper bags, as the first step in
the experiment. All of these blossoms
are on trees of the Royal Anne, Lam

both sterile and Inter-sterile. Pollen

Attempt to Keep Government o
Warrant Basis Is Declared
Cause of Short Funds.
' As the penalty for short-sightedness
in county administration, Mult
nomah county taxpayers may be fac
ing a special tax levy before this
year is out to take care of the heavy
deficit which has kept the county
on a warrant basis for a year, and
which has not been appreciably re
lieved by the collection of the first
half of taxes levied in 1921.
John M. Lewis, county treasurer,
appeared before the board of com
missioners yesterday and called at
tention to the condition of the ex
chequer, saying that it was his firm
conviction that a special tax would
have to be levied to remedy condi
tions. . He made no prediction
to the size of levy which would be
necessary.
Warrant Interest ?D800.
Since the first of January, Mult
nomah county has paid out approxi
mately $9800 as interest on warrants
which could not be redeemed
with
cash when drawn. During 1921 more
than $20,000 was paid out In interest
alone, not a cent of which was pro
vided for in the county budget.
January 1, 1922, the deficit in the
general fund of the county, repres
ented by outstanding warrants, was
about $51,000.
Today the total of outstanding
warrants reached approximately
$400,000, according to the estimate of
County Treasurer Lewis.
Cash Basis Outlook Hazy.
Despite the millions of dollars
which have been collected In taxes
durinar the last few months and
turned into the county coffers,
operating expenses and payment of
overdue warrants have eaten into the
principal so heavily that the county
treasurer asserted he despaired of
realizins- his hone that on May 1 the
"countv could clean up all indebted
ness and be on a cash basis ior aDoui
a month at least.
Last year the road fund was gen
erally in pretty fair condition and
paid cash for services, while the gen
eral fund was always in the "red.'
In fact there still is $60,594.28 on
hand in the county treasury credited
to the 1921 road fund which is taking
care of present road obligations.
Road Workers Are Affected.
Th commissioners decided this
vear. however, to merge the road and
general funds, with the result that as
soon as the small Daiance on ua.nu m
the former is exhausted, road workers
will be in the same straits as court
house attaches so far as getting their
pay in cash from the county is con
cerned. So far not more than 48 per cent of
the 1921 tax levy has been collected,
it is reported, in spite of the fact that
a great many of the small taxpayers
sent in checks for the full amount
instead of only the first installment
before April 5. .
Delinquent Taxea Uncertain.
In preparing the budget for the
present year County commissioner
wnimnn who was chairman of the
board last year, apparently looked on
the delinquent taxes as an asset. They
may be, but are so slow in coming in
that they cannot be considered such
ct this time, according to the county
treasurer
The state takes no aeoe-aat ef de
linquency in collecting its taxes
from the county. Multnomah county
turned over $1,250,273.34 to the state
the other day as payment of the
first half of state taxes, regardless
of the fact that a large part of that
amount had not been collected, if
figured proportionately with other
tax-consuming agencies. But the
state must be paid in full whether
or not the money actually has been
collected and the county is re
sponsible for all delinquency.
School Tax Also Paid.
The new elementary school fund is
r,thnr item which allows for no
delinquency and approximately $20,
000 was paid on that recently by
County Treasurer Lewis as the first
half of the tax collection.
Chairman Rudeen of the commis
sion said that an early conference
will be called with the county treas
urer, county auditor, and depart
ment heads to check over budgets
and see if any are being exceeded
and to consider ways and means for
getting the county back to a cash
basis.

FISHING SOLUTION FAILS
NEED FOR SETTLEMENT ON
COAST HELD IMPERATIVE.
Negotiations Between Canada and
State of Washington Unavail
ing, Says Official.
OTTAWA, April 26. That it was
"an international crime" to leave the
fisheries question on the Pacific coast
unsettled was the declaration of W.
A. Found, assistant deputy minister of
fisheries, before the fisheries commit
tee of the Canadian house of com
mons this morning.
Mr. Found stated that after the
failure of the fisheries treaty before
the United States senate a conference
had been held between the Canadian
authorities and the fisheries board of
the state of Washington in an effort
to get a solution of the problem.
These negotiations had broken down,
he said, because Canada had been
unable to obtain assurance from the
United States that there would be no
trap-net or purse seining in the Gulf
of Georgia. In the absence of such
assurances the Canadian government
did not feel justified in imposing fur
ther restrictions on Canadian fish
ermen. LIGHT RATE TO BE CUT
Special Charges and Lower Costs
for Business Men Planned.
TACOMA, Wash., April 26. (Spe
cial.) A new commercial lighting
rate for Tacoma business men, which
will eliminate service and lamp re
newals charges and give a lower
straight light rate, is being prepared,
Commissioner Davisson told a com
mittee of the retail merchants' bu
reau of the Tacoma Commercial club
today. The committee agreed to the
change.
The present commercial lighting
rate is too high, Menry G. Shaw, R. D.
McDonald and Frank C. Hart, the
committee members, asserted. The
present rate is a sliding scale, grad
uated according to the proportional
number of hours out of a month the
service is used and varies from 4
cents a kilo-watt hour down to 14
cents. Lamp renewal service is a
considerable part of the cost of serv
ice, the city says. Compared with a
heating rate of M cent a kilo-watt
hour, the commercial users are taxed
too much, committeemen said.
