WEALTHY ARE HARDEST HIT
Exemption Limit for Incomes Will
Xot Be Lowered Shipping Bill
May Be Disposed Of With
Brief General Debate.
WASHINGTON. May 13. Taxes on
incomes, inheritances and war muni
tion will be depended on to pay for the
preparedness programme, Chairman
Kitchin. of the House ways and means
committee, said tonight after a confer
ence with Secretary McAdoo. The plan
has the support, Mr. Kitchin said, of
President "Wilson.
What amount will have to be raised
cannot be determined until the Navy
and Army bills are completed.. Mem
bers of the ways and means committee
will begin work on this problem as
quickly as possible, however. Other
than a decision not to lower the present
exemption limit for incomes, $3000 for
unmarried and $4000 for married men,
none of the details of the tax. plan
have been worked out.
Plans for imposing stamp taxes on
manufactured tobacco, liquors, beer,
gasoline and other articles, Mr. Kitchin
f;aid, had been definitely abandoned. He
declared the plan of taxation decided
on would affect only those best able
to pay the levy, falling exclusively on
the wealthy and on foreign nations en
gaged in war. ,
The big preparedness revenue meas
ures will not be introduced in Congress
until after the conventions. Between
now and that time the speeding-up
campaign inaugurated recently will be
continued with a view to disposing of
other business by early July, if possible.
Another step toward carrying out the
programme was made today , when a
rule on the shipping bill was intro
duced. It would provide for five hours'
general debate on the bill and one
hour's debate on the rule itself. Lead
ers hope to dispose of the bill within
two days. Mr. McAdoo, who is partic
ularly interested in the shipping bill,
urged today that it be brought up in
the House as quickly as possible, and
Mr. Kitchin advised him that it would
be reached Tuesday, and that all other
business save that of calendar Wednes
day would be set aside for it.
FROST DAMAGE IS HEAVY
Some Berry Growers Place Loss at
50 Per Cent of Crop.
1
HOOD RIVER. Or.. May 13. (Spe
cial.) Whie the total damage to the
strawberry crop of the Hood River
Valley will be comparatively small,
growers whose places lie in depressions
known as frost pockets will suffer
heavily from the frosts that have pre
vailed on the past three nights. Some
growers report this damage as high
as 50 per cent.
MelvUle Foley, a West Side berry
grower, reports that his 10-acre tract
will be cut short by 200 crates.
UPLIFT TOPICS DISCUSSED
fContimied From First Pftge.
The reason why the email farmer's
profits are diminishing is because it is
so expensive to market in small quan
tities.
"The state should establish a great
.public market here in Portland. It
should be large enough to handle the
entire output of Oregon agriculture.
"with special railroad terminals in con
nection with rt. It should be equipped
with drying rooms, with provisions for
grading, sorting, canning and like de
vices which are necessary to the ban
dling of agricultural products.
Here the small farmer could ship
his produce and the state could market
it for him in large quantities cheaply
end efficiently so that he might obtain
his rightful returns.
llranch Markets Planned.
"'Similar markets should be cstab
lished in every considerable town of
the state, but all should be under the
direction of the main market at Port
land, which could best handle the plans
for seeking the more distant foreign
and domestic markets which would buy
in quantity."
ine wonting men do not favor a
consolidation of labor commissions into
I a State Labor Commission, according
to C. 2d. Rynerson, editor of the Port
land Labor Press, who spoke on th
subject of proposed- legislation along
inese lines.
"A majority of the working people
or tne state want tne power of en
forcing the labor laws left in the hands
.or the Labor Commissioners."-he said.
The conference will close tomorrow
with a final meeting at S o'clock. Dr.
' 3lax Pearson Cushinir will crive a re
t.cital on the Olds' Memorial Organ
. fl-fter which there will be reports by
J the resolutions committee and a, report
. of the California Conference of Social
Agencies by Dr. V". T. Foster, president

British Commander Reviews and
Publicly Thanks tlie Auxiliary
Troojs, AVlio Fought Bravely
to Suppress the Rebellion.
BXJBLIX, via London. May 13. Pre
mier Asquith's visit to Dublinas far as
is ascertainable tonight, has been con
fined to frequent conferences with the
civil and military officials.
The suggestion, unofficially circu
lated, regarding the possibility of the
formation of an Irish executive council
for the management of'the government
of Ireland until the. end of the war ap
pears to have made a good impression
in Ireland. There has been much dis
cussion of the subject in all quarters.
but no confirmation of such a move
ment has been given by officials.
Kellef to the tension in Ireland was
noted today when Oeneral Maxwell,
commander of the British forces, pub
licly reviewed and thanked the auxil
iary troops, who fought for the gov
ernment against the rebels. Lady Vim
borne, wife of the ex-Lord Lieutenant,
and Premier Asquith accompanied Gen
eral Maxwell at the review. The Pre
mier declined to respond to enthusiastic
calls for a speech.
General Maxwell's address was an
expression of gratitude to the officers'
training corps which held Trinity Col
lege and guarded the Bank of Ireland,
both of -whiejv have become strong po
sitions for the rebels; to the veterans'
corps, which lost many men when the
rebels attacked them Easter Monday,
when they marched unarmed into Dub
lin, and to drivers and attendants on
the ambulances, who worked night and
day succoring soldiers, civilians and
rebels, without discrimination. He also
praised the nurses, doctors, postmen,
policemen and telegraphers, who, he
said, "most nobly responded to the call
of duty and performed many acts of
great heroism."

politics are boiling at O. A. C Follow
ing the nominations of student-body of
ficers for next year, last week there
developed one of the most exciting
campaign periods of recent years. The
center of the contests is the race for
the position of president of the student
assembly between Arthur Fertig, of
Astoria, and J. D. McKay, of Portland.
But slightly less exciting is the race
for editor of the Barometer, the col
lege semi-weekly newspaper, for which
position James O'Xeil. of Chippewa
I- alls. Wis., and Paul Doty, of Pasadena
Cal., are supported by apparently
evenly matcned groups or admirers.
In the contest for president of the
assembly Mr. Fertig is supported by
the present student-body officers,
while Mr. McKay, a sophomore, who by
Summer school work will be a senior
next year, is supported by the under
classmen. At a special campaign mass
meeting yesterday certain supporters of
McKay accused a senior honor society
of working to control the elections to
the offices. Warm words ensued and
the meeting was hastily adjourned by
President G. R. Hoerner.
The election was to be held today,
but the absence of a large number of
