THE SUNDAY OltEGOXIAJf, PORTLAND, JULY 13, 1913. 9 PAYMENT WITHOUT MAYOR IS SCHEME The Dalles Council Would Cir cumvent Present System of Signing Warrants. RECALL TALK GETS NOUGHT Lawyer Can't Be Found "Who Will Institute Proceedings Against Council Business Men Pro pose to Unite Factions Soon. THE DALLES, Or.. July 12. (Spe cial.) The controversy over the Issu ance of city warrants, which followed as the result of the "falling out" be tween the Mayor and the Council over the executive's appointments, promises further excitement. Mayor Anderson announced two days ago that he would not sign warrants ordered by the Council unless they were signed by L. H. Arneson, the uncon firmed appointee for Recorder. If the Mayor continues in that stand the Councilmen- announce they will Issue warrants which will not require the signature of the Mayor. ' According to the ordinance regulat ing the Issuance of warrants they shall be signed by the Mayor and attested by the Recorder after an order Issued by the Council. The Aldermen can annul the present ordinance and pass a new measure in Its place, providing that some official other than the Mayor, the chairman of the finance committee, for Instance, shall affix his name to the warrants. Council Could Ontvote Mayor. Mayor Anderson would undoubtedly veto such ordinance, but as it only takes the votes of two-thirds of the Councilmen, or six, to pass a measure over his veto, and as the strength of his opponents is seven, the ordinance could be enacted over his head. The finance committee today ordered Treasurer Barnett to draw a check and send a draft for $1625 to a New York firm, this amount being due as interest on sewer bonds. The matter of the Issuance of the warrant to cover Bar nett's check will be settled at a later date. Barnett followed the orders of the finance committee. The Treasurer announced last Wednesday that he would not honor any warrant unless It were signed by Arneson as Recorder. After being threatened with arrest by City Attorney Wilson if he failed to honor warrants for that reason, Barnett changed his mind and announced on the following day that he would ac cept any warrant which was signed by George F. Ross, whom Mayor Anderson has failed tq oust as Recorder. It was then that Mr. Anderson announced his intention of signing no warrant with out the signature of Arneson thereto. Recwll Tulle FrnlUH. Friends of the Mayor contemplate bringing recall proceedings against the seven Councilmen who are opposing the Mayor. They attempted today to retain a local attorney to represent them In the matter, but the lawyer ab solutely refused to have anything to do with the proposed action. Bo far the friends of Anderson have failed to find a single local lawyer to institute the proceedings for them. However, the Councilmen say they would welcome an attempt to invoke the recall against them, because they say such action would prove that a large majority of the citizens are be hind the Council in its fight with, the Mayor. The five men appointed as policemen by Mr. Anderson Monday, but who failed of confirmation at the hands of the Council and were later appointed special agents by Governor West, con tinue to walk around the city without attempting to arrest any one. It Is re ported that some of them are tired of their Jobs and the Joshing they have been compelled to take from people generally. Compromise la Proposed. Business men have taken a hand In the differences between Mr. Anderson and the members of his Council. They are trying to effect a compromise on the matter of appointments, and it is expected that an 'agreement will be reached early next week. MORROW HARVEST STARTS First Grain Threshed Gives Promise of Good Yields. IONE, Or., July 12. (Special.) Har vest has started In Morrow County and the first load of grain was hauled to lone today by 'Charles Read. The grain is first-class and weighs heavy. The late rains have insured a good crop for most of the county. Ben Bushke, one of the county's leading farmers, says his crop will be fully 'as good as in 1912, when he had a record yield. Many harvest hands, including col lege and high school boys from Pert land, Eugene and Corvallla, are ai-rlv-lng daily. Average wages will be paid by ranchers. REV. H. G. EDQ.AR DUE SOON Seattle Pastor to Give Farewell- Ser mon Tomorrow. SEATTLE, Wash., July 12. (Special.) The Rev. H. G. Edgar, pastor of Olympic Court United Presbyterian Church, will preach his farewell ser mon tomorrow, after a successful pas torate of seven years. Mr. Edgar, who has won a multitude of friends. Is a quiet, unassuming min ister of kindly personality, and has made his presence felt In the com munity of his church as well as In the broader field of ministerial federation. Mr. Edgar will go to the Third Church in Portland. PIONEER PREACHER DIES Rev. M. M. Skipworth, Methodist, Passes at Age of 84. EUGENE, Or., July 12. (Special.) Rev. M. M. Skipworth, a pioneer Metho dist minister of Oregon, died at his home here early this morning, aged 84 years. He came to Eugene eight years ago from Redmond. Besides a widow he leaves four chil dren: Mrs. M. L. Pipes, Portland; Rev. Walton Skipworth, Newberg, Or.; G. F. Skipworth, City Attorney of Eugene, and Mrs. W. H. Wood, Walterville, Or. CAPITAL STOCK IS EXEMPT Life Insurance Companies Not to Be Taxed on Full Holdings. District Attorney Evans has given the County Commissioners an opinion in which he holds that there is no law in Oregon permitting capital stock of life Insurance companies to be assessed and taxed. The question came up on petition of the Columbia Life & Trust Company, which protested against a full assessment on Its capital stock of $200,000, asserting- that only Its tangi ble assets should be assessed. Mr. Evans agrees with this view. "Take, for instance, a mining- com pany with a capital stock of $1,000, 000. It might not have actual assets of 30 cents,", said Mr. Evans, in discussing the question yesterday. "There is a difference between actual capital and capital stock. It would not be right to assess such a company at $1,000,000, SALEM MAN ACCSPTS CHAIR. AT MONMOUTH NORMAL, V It - I., r. OllmOre. MONMOUTH, Or., July 12. (Special.) President J. H.

Mr. Gilmore is an expert in teaching agriculture in schools. Professor Beaumont resigns In order to study at Cornell Uni versity. but the proper thing would be to assess its money, notes and accounts and other personal property and real estate. That is what should be done la the present case." PORTLAND BOY WINS HONOR Nelson Gammans Graduates at Har vard With High Honors. Nelson Gammans, son of Mrs. G. G.
