Police Detectives Get Evidence

ARCHELLE GOGOS INFORMS

Life Indignities Heaped
on Women by Gang.
HjfATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 16. (Special.)
4 well-organized Black Hand Society
nanipulated by Greeks, has been dis
covered in this city by the police detec
tives, and today a half dozen of the best
men on the force are at work on the case.
Two arrests have been made and muny
more are expected to result from the in
vestigation. According to the evidence In
possession of the officers the society has
been in existence for a year or more, but
so timid are its members that those who
have been levied upon for blackmail hava
paid up and refrained from complaining
to the authorities.
The fact that the society exists was dis
closed by the arrest today of George Maz
araki, a candymaker. and Gus Krialbos, a
butcher, who appear to be the leaders of
the organization. Achclle Gogos, a restaurant-keeper,
is the man who furnished
the evidence on which the detectives are
working. He is not anxious to talk, but
has told enough to show that the mem
bers of the gang have threatened the life
of at least one of their countrymen and
thai they are bent on ruining Gogos.
In some manner the detectives were ap
prised of the fact that a Greek had been
palming himself off as a detective and
Mazaraki'.s arrest followed. The suspect
dcelared that ho had evidence that Gogos
was selling liquor without license and the
detective took him to the place. Ma
zarakl faded to substantiate his asser
tions, but was discovered hiding two bot
tles of gin behind a trunk in the Gogos
place.
The officers expect to prove that wom
en Greeks have been forced to submit
to indignities at the hands of the. gang
In fear of death of themselves or their
fathers, brothers or husbands.
PROPOSE TO JOIX HANDS
Columbia County Fruitgrowers to
Form Association In Washington.
DAYTON, Wash., Nov. 16. (Special.) A
Fruitgrowers' Association Is to be or
ganized in Dayton as soon as the fruit
crops of Columbia are taken care of and
those Interested find time to take up the
organization.
It Is probable that some time in De
cember a meeting will be held In this city,
at which time plans will be formulated
and steps taken toward effecting a per
manent organization.
An association has been advocated for
the past two or three years by George
Thompson, J. L. Dumass, King Bros, and
a few others, but their efforts were dis
couraged until this Fall, when the unpre
cedented crop of apples awoke the farm
ers to the results of scientific horticul
ture. Now the farmers who a year ago sniffed
at the Idea of a Fruitgrowers' Associ
ation are no less enthusiastic than the
pioneers of the Industry and are
strongly urging action.
According to figures recently compiled
and circulated from Spokane. Columbia
County Is now ranked fifth among the
counties of Washington in the produc
tion of fine apples. With an association
of growers, shipping facilities, which this
year have occasioned great loss to the
local growers, could he improved. Quota
tions would be largely In the hands of
the association and an Increased interest
tn the comparatively Infant Industry
created.
The greatest trouble to the growers this
year has been the matter of securing
cars. One grower now has several car
loads of apples- packed awaiting cars,
which are several days overdue. It Is
feared that If the weather continues to
grow colder much of the fruit will freeze
on the trees.
INSTITUTE .MEETING CLOSES
Annual Teachers' Convention Prof
itable and Entertaining.
M'MINNVILLE, Or.. Nov. 16. (Spe
cial.) The annual Teachers' Institute
for this county adjourned today after a
very profitable session. Judged from the
teacher's standpoint. There was an
unusually good attendance, there being
135 teachers present throughout the
session. State Superintendent Acker
man, of Salem; E. D. Resseler, L. D.
Traver and Z. Tharp, of the State Nor
mal School of Monmouth; L. R. Alder
man, of Eugene, and W. W. Wiley, of
Tillamook, were the instructors pres
ent. County School Superintendent H. H.
Belt gave the gathering some Important
data that shows the Yamhill County
teachers' condition to be a little better
than that of those in some other coun
ties of the state In regard to the mat
ter of teachers' salaries. He finds that
the women teachers employed In this
county are paid an average monthly
salary of $43.50 and the male teachers
an average of $60.40 for each month'!
teaching.
A change will soon be made In the
manner of appropriating school moneys.
The difference will be that Instead of
apportioning It pro rata on the num
ber of school children In the several
districts, as at present, the distribu
tion will be based on the number of
teachers employed In each district.
TO ISSUE GRAZING PERMITS
Forest Reserve Officials Will Meet ,
Yakima Sheepmen.
NORTH YAKIMA. Waah... Nov. It. I
(Special.). Sheep men of the Yakima
Valley are preparing to go to Wena- I
chee to meet the officers of the Forest
Reserve Service on Monday next in or
der to be allotted grazing privileges
on the reserve land In that district.
While the meeting will be held at the
Columbia River town, the bulk of the
men Interested come from this district,
the valley between Prosser and Ellens
burg. The apportionment of grazing land
to be made meane practically the set
tlement of respective rights there In
the future, as each allottee has the
first claim to the land ue uses there
after each year until he may cease to
make a claim for It. The first claim
to the ranges goes to the person mak
ing a home on the land, the second to
abutting property owners and the third
to the "steady cuetomers." The new
comers and people doing a spasmodic
business are the last to be permitted
a selection.
Sam Cameron, of the Interstate fair
commission and a prominent sheep
owner, has just returned here from a
visit to the ranges and reports them
to he in excellent condition.

Wife Had Been Taken From Him.
TAOOMA, Wash.. Nov. 16. (Special.)
Penitent and torn by conflicting emotions.
Cheater Loveland, 20 years of age, walked
Into the police station today and gave
himself up for forging checks for $200
in St. Anthcny, Idaho.

mind when he forged the name of A. E.
Scott, a wealthy sheep rancher. Love
land formerly owned a tailor shop at
Prex. Idaho. He met a girl but 19 years
old and they were married against her
parent's wishes. A few months later,
Loveland was thrown out of employe
ment. The girl was told slanderous tales
of his eailier life and forced to return
to her home.

truth in them so far as the bulletining of
trains was concerned and the company
was doing the best it could to Improve the
condition of the lavatories, but it Is
hardly fair for the public to expect to
find them in the same shape as at first

TAXATION IN OREGON
An Official Letter to the National
Tax Association.
PENDLETON, Or.. Nov. 15. (To the
Editor.) In response to a request from
the president of the National Tax Con
ference lo prepare a letter to be printed
In the report of the conference meeting,
and fn the event that I could not attend,
I submitted one, a copy of which follows:
I notice that an association of people in
Portland is preparing some bills along
this line to be submitted to. the people
next June.
To President Allen R. Foote and mem
bers of the National Tax Association,
Columbus, O. :
It transpires that business reasons pre
vent my personal attendance of this con
vention. But I assure you that Oregon
appreciates the Importance of your great
objects.
Money has been called liquid wealth.
All free capital, held for Investment, is
extremely mobile. As the physical con
tour of the country determines the direc
tion of Its streams, so likewise state laws
affect the flow of capital.
Oregon and all the North Pacific Coast
states possess wonderful natural oppor
tunities for capital. No section of the
country has more to gain than we by
legislation fair and friendly toward in
vestors. But we do not wish to attract
an undue share of capital through un
usual Immunities from taxation. The
states of the Union should not permit
themselves to be drawn into a competi
tion of this kind. The most beneficent
results of the National Tax Association
will, in my opinion, come through stabil
ity and uniformity of state legislation,
rather than by extending exemptions
from taxation.
The states enjoy, through the laws of
Congress, protection against foreign com
petition. This being true, our industries
can readily adjust themselves to any
system of taxation so long as it Is stable
and uniform throughout the states. But,
instability and unequal state taxation
obstruct the natural laws of manufacture
and exchange. Arbitrary Inducements
extended by the laws of one state may
neutralize, or even overcome the natural
advantages of another Shifting, vacillat
ing laws cannot fall to hinder prosperity
as a whole In all of the states.
The subject of taxation has recently
attracted considerable attention in Ore
gon. Our tax laws were revised and
codified last Winter in obedience to the
recommendations embodied In the report
of a temporary State Tax Commission
of which my colleague. ex-United States
Senator F. W Mulkey. was chairman.
Under these laws, the state relies mainly
upon levies against advalorem assess
ments made by County Assessors, the
states having no state board of assessors
or of equalization, or adequate special
subjects of taxation. That portion of
our state revenue which is secured
through the property tax. Is apportioned
among the counties according to a table
adopted by the State Legislature, the said
table being based upon the average1
county assessments respectively for a
period of five years Immediately pre
ceding Its adoption. This arrangement
Is to be succeeded In 1910 by a new table,
based upon the average expenses of the
counties respectively for the five year
period immediately preceding, public Im
provements and road expenses to be ex
cluded from such calculation.
Our state secures considerable revenue
through specific taxes. These Include a
tax upon the net premiums of fire and
life insurance. Incorporation fees, and a
graded annual license tax upon all state
corporations, and a tax upon Inheritances
graded as to collateral heirs. Our re
ceipts from these sources are growing
from year to year. They are regarded
as fit subjects for exclusive state taxa
tion. But I think Oregon views with dis
trust any scheme looking toward a com
plete separation of the subjects of taxa
tion between the state and the counties
within It. Owing to the unequal distribu
tion among the states of any possible sub
ject or class of subjects of taxation, it
seems to me Impossible for all the states,
under such a method, to select the same
subjects, or to depend exclusively upon
selected subjects at all.
Suppose, for illustration, that the states
agree to select corporations as their ex
clusive and only subjects of taxation,
leaving to local governments all other
property. The state having the largest
relative amount of corporate wealth
would attract an undue Increase of such
property through low tax rates. It would
also be difficult to preserve a Just balance
of equities within the state, between the
subjects of the state and those of local
governments. .
Specific taxes based upon receipts, in
heritances or fees of any kind, lack flexi
bility. They fluctuate with the tide of
business and are likely to be lowest when
state expenses are highest. An advalorem
tax upon selected subjects would be flex
ible, but it would be likely to upset the
equilibrium among the states upon such
subjects by bearing heavier or lighter
upon friem In one state than In another.
The general average of taxation Is
quite uniform throughout the states of
the Union, while the relative distribution
of any class of property or group of
classes is not. Hence an advalorem tax
should be levied upon the same subjects
within a state by both state and local
governments. And the same rate of spe
r,(H t-jv..c wVmnlrl nrevail In all the states
upon the same class of subjects if com
petitive. It will be seen that this would afford
uniformity and flexibility allowing In
dustry to pursue economic channels In
Its progress among the states.
Such a policy will strengthen our In
dustries, multiply the generpal rosperlty,
intensify and broaden our Natlonalspirit.

GREAT THEFTS OF GOLD
Australian Mining Companies Lose
$5,000,000 Each Year.
MELBOURNE. Nov. 9. Unpleasant rev
elations have been made as to the extent
to which the stealing of gold by the
miner is carried on In Australia.
Some authorities estimate that as much
as 1.000,000 worth of gold ($5,000,000) is
lost every year by the Australian mining
companies in this way. Most of the min
ing centers are haunted by a shady class
of nominal "gold buyers." who are really
the accomplices of the dishonest miners,
the "fences," in criminal slang.
Representatives of the mining companies
in Bendlgo, where a record number of
cases of gold stealing has recently oc
curred, have met in conference to con
sider the best means of dealing with the
evil. All agreed that "an Immense amount
of Illicit traffic in gold was going on."

way through the rules of the Jockey
Club, which presumably ha.l never con
templated American jockeys of the femi
nine gender, she will no doubt score a
great "success de curiosite." Miss H.,
whose name It is best for the present
not to mention, as she says she detests
notoriety, admits that she has already
ridden on American racecourses, and
claims to have won 28 races, including it
cups. It is well known that girl Jockeys
are a feature at some of the circus races
In Coney Island, but whether she has rid
den on legitimate racecourses is not yet
clear. When mounting she dresses nke a
boy, and, but for her voluminous hair
and girlish features, might be taken for
an ordinary Jockey. She was to have
ridden in one of the races at Complegne
under an apprentice's license a little over
a week ago. but an accident, it is said,
prevented her.

Western Apple-Growers Are
Jubilant.
LARGE SHORTAGE FOUND
Estimated That the Crop Will Kali
8.000,000 Barrels Under Report.
Western Apples Are Mostly
Tor the Export Trade.
HOOD RIVER. Or., Nov. 16. (Speolai.)
Apple-buyers and shippers, who have
feared a slump In the prices for fancy
fruit and who have been investigating
conditions In Eastern markets and also
at other shipping points in the Northwest,
state that the money trouble has had very
little if any effect, and that fruit for late
; Winter use shows every indication of
selling for remarkably high prices.
This conclusion is reached from the' fact
that they have private advices to the ef
fect that the apple crop Is 8,000,000 bar
rels less than It was at first estimated,
and that prices received in the East dur
! ing the pat't week are from 25 to 50 ier
I cent higher than those for the corre
sponding week last year.
It was thought that, owing to the high
j figure paid this year for Western fruit, it
would be difficult for buyers to place it at
a profit on account of the shortage of
cash and tire fact also that a scarcity of
i cars is giving districts nearer the big
market an opportunity to place inferior
i stock on sale in advance of Western fruit.
I It is stated, however, by authorities here
on the apple situation, that, notwithstand-
ing these handicaps, the demands for
j Western fruit was never better. As a
i convincing argument they point to the
j fact that the shortage shown by the lat
I est returns practically leaves New York
j and the Middle West as the only sections
, to market apples In any quantity, and
; that these will be needed to supply the
home markets, leaving the export trade,
: which is the most nrofitab.e. almost en-
' tlrely to Western apples. Realizing this.
lastern apple-handlers are said to be al
ready buying and storing Eastern fruit
for late Winter use In the home markets,
while at the same time endeavoring to get
Oregon and Washington apples to send
abroad. In this connection a well-known
apple man said today:
"There Is going to be a shortage of ap
ples for late Winter use. and in my opin
ion Instead of lower values on even com
mon varieties higher prices wi.. obtain.
Apples are short and there is no fruit that
can take the place of the apple. For a
time consumers may desert the apple for
the orange. If they can get the latter
cheaper, but I have noticed that they soon
come back to it. There has been consid
erable buying of long-keeping apples In
the Eastern markets for the past ten
days, notwithstanding the financial trou
ble, and I am Informed that If apple
buyers could have got credit at the banks
they would have bought far more heav
ily." LET WORK SHOW FOR ITSELF
