COMPROMISE OFFER

' Save $600 Penalties. :
TIME LIMIT IS TUESDAY
Case in Court Since 1913 When
Administration's Valuation of
fcstatc Was Attached.
Through an offer extended by two
of the eounty commissioners, Will
iam He-Id, virtually branded by the
slate sifpreme court as a tax-dodger,
has until Tuesday of this week to
save $(00 of ta-x penalties assessed
against him. The -compromise offer
made Keid by the commissioners is
that lie may settle the tax fight
against him, which has been in liti
tration since 1913 and now involves
about $4500, by paying tiie tax and
interest due and $600 as represent
ing one-half' the accrued penalties.
Commissioner Hoyt voted against
the compromise offer and Commis
sioners Kudeen and -Holman voted
for it. Commissioner Rudeen said
yesterday that District Attorney
Myers had a'dvised the commission
ers that it was good business to ef
fect such a compromise with Reid.
Mr. Myers said that he was inclined
to believe it "pretty good business"
to settle the contested case with a
reasonable compromise, but that he
had advised the commissioners sim
ply that they had the legal right to
make a compromise in a tax case
involving litigation. . .
Case Started in 1013.
The case originated in 1913, when
Reid was administrator for the
estate of David C. Pelton, his father-in-law.
He made a return to the
assessor showing that the estate
owned little more than an automo
bile of nominal value. Under direc
tion of Henry E. Reed, who was
then assessor, an investigation was
made which, according to testimony
in court, disclosed as property of
the estate notes and a small amount
of cash, the total amounting to
$128,450. Of this amount $100,000
represented promissory notes given
hy Reid. While the allegation
seemed not to 'have been sustained
in court, Reid insists that these
notes had been settled between him
self, his mother-in-law and his wife
and represented no asset of the
estate.
In accordance with the findings
of the assesor's investigators, prop
erty of the Pelton estate was en
tered on the. 1913 assessment role at
$81,390, against which a tax of
$2197.53 was levied. Reid was dis
charged as administrator of the es
tate during the year 1913 and this
tax remained unpaid. Subseqently
the assessor, acting under implied
statutory powers, levied the tax
against lots owned by Reid in East
Portland.
Decision Won by Reid.
Reid refused to pay the tax and
won the decision in the circuit court
before Judge Gatens. Appeal was
taken to the supreme court by the
county and the previous decision
was reversed. The higher court in
reality did not rule on the question
as to whether the county could leg
ally hold an administrator person
ally responsible for tax on the es
tate he administers but held that
Reid had no right to come into
court in the first place.
"A complainant who has been
guilty of bad faith, fraud or tax
dodging in the individual transac
tion which forms the basis of his
suit" has no right in court, said the
opinion written by Judge Brown.
Attitude is Not Revealed.
W. P Richardson, who is now Mr.
Reid's legal adviser, saud yesterday
tiixt he aid not Know whether nis
client would take advantage of the
commissioners' compromise offer or
not. but seemingly was inclined to
accept it and pay up. Mr. Richard-
'son said that he advises against such
action in the belief that he can de
feat the county in legal battle over
the real question at issue.
The lots on the east side against
which the county now has a claim
are a part of the rather extensive
holdings on which the Southern Pa
cific company has taken an option
from Reid. The county's claim, as
it stands.' constitutes a c'.oud on the
title which Interferes with an actual
transfer.
The implication -f the commis
sioners' offer, limited to expire on
December 5, is that if r.eid does -.ot
accept and pay up they will attempt
to collect the entire amount.
Pageant of Cinderella Is a
Notable Success.
Children Portray Fairy Tale in
Municipal Auditorium.
NONE of us needs a little fairy at
honie so long as there are Mrs.
Idaliene Merediths in the world to
weave fairy stories for us. All the
little boys and girls in Portland
seemingly were at the municipal au
ditorium yesterday afternoon and
last night to see a whole lovely fairy
story come true. The story .was
mat ravorite one of "Cinderella." the
poor little princess whose tragic oe
ginning and happy ending have pro
vided a plot for many a bigger story
or play of later days.
Mrs. Idaliene Meredith, who is a
well-known director of pageantry
and who has long been identified
with achievements of this nature in
Hollywood and in Pacific coast
cities, trained the hundreds of littie
boys and girls who ook part in the
pageant, and their clever work re
flected credit to their instructor.
The story of "Cinderella" had been
retained in all its details and in her
adherence to the text Mrs. Meredith
found great approval from her
audience ot children. Pretty special
ties in dance and song. had been in
ttrwoviTi in the telling ot" the story
a :ui i iip entire deve upnient was
. ...i rniii.y.
A:Li ii care and attention had been
pii.l i he costuming of the various
i .lurdi-urs and the dancing groups
aui the re.-.ult w;is colorful and pic
t.i. e.-(ue.
-.tv ruuc i.o(iery was charming as
-le.i '..i a::d besides being a clever
"i t . - , lie actri a ud reading
her iiia-o well, she gave several
iiTM . t;i an J interesting specialties
in oa-e; a:;:eing. Helen Parrish
at. a Jitiirable as the Prince charm
ing n lioubltt and hosr.. She too
contributed brilliant dancing. The
fairy nuoen, June Erioksun, a dimin
utive ballet dancer, delighted with
her pretty steps, and Avis Olson as
the fairy godmother was charming
and added interest by her singing.
Comedy of a very real sort was
given by Dorothy Tieredith and
Kathleen Quigly as the two step
sisters. Their makeup and man
ners did much to entertain the au
dience. Aileen Eshelman and Edra
Kintzley as two princes who looked
out for the ugly step-sisters, and
Donald Chamberlain as the court
herald in picturesque attire, and
Gertrude Meredith James as the
cruel stepmother, completed the cast
of principals.
There were four acts. The first
showed the garden in the home of
Cinderella and then came the palace
ballroom, then Cinderella's home,
and the last act was the wedding
parly.
- In the ball room scene and in the
wedding scene opportunities were
!teuuiiui lor uance speciajties. ano
Mrs. Meredith had provided a gen
erous number of these. One of the
eai surprises was afforded in the
arrival of a real coach of gold
drawn by two handsome little Shet
land ponies and driven by a coach
man with footmen on behind and
bearing Cinderella inside it to the
tail.
Little Geraldine Peterson contrib
uted a charming dance as "Morn
ing." and petite Jane Parrish as a
rose of pink with a group of pretty
little dancers garbed as butterflies
gave one of the cleverest spectacles.
A smart artistic tango oddity was
contributed by Eleanor Winders and
Donaid Confrey, and a group of
graceful little maids in red, white
and blue gave a pretty drill.
A sword dance of Scotch flavor
was given by Thyra Bergeson Shaw,
and Betty Frost gave a dainty fire
fly dance. The minuet was danced
by a group of children in v pretty
attire. The trying on of the silver
slipper afforded great excitement in
the audience.
The wedding banquet was por
trayed in an original way, with
groups of dancing children arrayed
as food. There were oysters with
forks dancing around, four little
dancers were dishes of ice cream
with four ' dancing spoons, a red
lobster salad affords fun, and four
cakes pranced about in dance. Other
contributions were a song by Norma
Parr.sh, the Highland fling by tiny
Ruby Asquith and a gay little hula
number by June Murtinger, another
small girl.

DRIVE IS ORGANIZED !
10 PROMOTE OREGON
Commerce Chamber to Be
gin Campaign Tuesday.
$300,000 TO BE RAISED
Portland Fx ported to Finance
Publicity Movement to Put
State in Forefront.
Representatives of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce will launch
a drive Tuesday morning for a $300,
000 state development fund, $200,000
of which will be spent in advertis
ing the state's resources, scenic ad
vantages and opportunities and
$100,000 In development work. The
work will be spread over a two
year period.
"The Chamber of Commerce re
gards this as one of the most con
structive programmes that ever has
been suggested in this city, and it is
being launched at a time when the
entire state is sadly in need of some
such movement," said O. W. Mielke,
president of the chamber, yesterday.
"For that reason I am sure that it
w ill receive strong financial sup
port from those who are asked for
funds.
Plan Business Proposition.
"The money1 will be raised in
Portland and will come from those
who are whole-heartedly interested
in the welfare and progress of Ore
gon. It will be a rapid-fire drive,
and in the rush it is possible that
some persons who would wish to
take part may be overlooked. This
will be unintentional and a general
invitation is extended to all to en
list their financial aid.
I have used the word 'invest
for none other will fit in this case.
We are not asking for donations, for
we are certain that the returns from
what money is spent will be many
fold. The 'suggestion is made that
business houses place a certain sum
for this purpose in their monthly
budgets, or regard the investment
as a part of their overheads. In no
way can the subscriptions made be
considered as gifts. The whole plan
is a business proposition all the
way, and they will realize this later.
They are investing in Oregon and
backing with their money their con
fidence in its future.'

LIQUOR SUSPECT JAILED

Due to Defect in Bond.
Because of a defect in the bond
under which Henry Schirmer was at
liberty pending bearing of the liquor
case he appealed from the municipal
court, he was rearrested yesterday
by deputy sheriffs and lodged in the
county jail. Discovery had been
made that the bond undertaking was
valueless because it was made out
on behalf of "Harry" instead of
Henry Schirmer.
The prisoner was arrested on1 July
1 and two weeks later was fined
$250 in municipal court on a charge
of possessing a still. Morris Gold
stein, acting as his attorney, im
mediately filed notice of appeal to
the circuit court and Schirmer was
released under $500 bond, then pre
sented to the court, and only re
recent ly discovered to be invalid.
Members of the sheriff's force said
yesterday they had grown tired of
waiting for fulfillment of -promises
that a valid bond would be brought
in.
