Washington' July 9. (I. N. S.) Five
billion dollars a year tn revenue will be
needed by the United States govern'
ment at the close of the war to par in
terest on bond, to retire bond and for
the expenses of the government. This
waa the Drcdlctlon of Henry T. Rainey
ranking Democrat on the way and
means committee, after a preliminary
conference of the committee on the new
revenue bill today. The bill will be
drawn with an eye to the future. Many
of the taxes written Into It will con
tinue for yeara after the war has ended.
The revenue required by the govern
ment before the war waa $1,000,000,000
annually. The present revenue blH will
raise l,000,000,000.. The principal
sources will be income, Access profits
and luxury taxes. Luxury and excess
profits taxes will have to be reduced
after the war, but the losses from theso
sources will be made up by increases
in tariff rates.
Tariff liaises Not Favored
The proposal to Increase tariff rates
In-the present bill has met with no favor
in the committee. Neither have any
of the novelty suggestions put forward
by amateur -economists in the last
month of hearings.
The new bill, it was emphasized to
day, will be "for revenue only." It
.wilt not attempt to limit extravagance
; or to eliminate non-essentional Indus
tries, although these things may result
from some of the taxes It is necessary
to impose. One exception is now in
contemplation. The manufacture of
platinum Jewelry will be halted by a
prohibitive tax.
One hundred men are at work In the
treasury department today figuring out
for the committee the return from cer
tain rates of taxation on certain coraH
mod (ties to be classed as luxuries. This
data will be placed before the commit
tee for action next Monday.
Zone Changs "ot hi Prospect
The prospect of nation-wide war
time prohibition presents to the
committee the problem of find
ing other means of raising the
1400,000,000 that came from tax levies
on aloohollo beverages during tha last
fiscal year. This probably will be made
up tn luxury and semi-luxury taxes.
It was asserted by committee mem
bers today that there were no prospects
of radical changes in the postal zoning
system Imposed by the last revenue bill,
although It was recognized that a great
many of the weaker newspapers might
.be forced out of business aa a reault.
" The, last revenue bill will serve as, tha
framework upon which the new bill will
be built. When it la ready to be re-
. ported by the ways and means commit
tee it wUl be In the nature of a sub
stitute for the old legislation and not
as an amendment to it.

A statement published in two Portland
papers, to the effect that Mr. Elliott
has been elected president of the Spo
kane, Portland ft Seattle Railway com
pany, is declared to be erroneous by of
ficials of that company.
Mr. Turner is at present vice presi
dent and comptroller of the Spokane,
Portland & Seattle Railway company
and of other Hill companies in the
Northwest. His rise In the railroad
world has been rapid and has been
accomplished through advancement in
the financial, accounting and operating
departments.
Blae Is Rapid
While Mr. Turner's experience has j
been largely in the field of accounting, he
has also held responsible operating posi
tions, having been elected vice president
of the Great Northern Pacific 8tearaship
company In May, 1916, in direct charge of
the operation of the palatial steamers,
Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
between Flavel and San Francisco. In
this position he attained signal success
as a traffic and operating managers-conducting
the operation of the steamers in
an efficient manner and gaining tre
mendous popularity for the line Until the
removal of the steamers from the run in
September, 1917, when they were com
mandeered by the United States govern
ment for--war service. '
Mr. Turner's early training and ex
perience were acquired with the South
ern Railway at Washington, D. C, where
he was placed in charge of the statistics
of the system. He was later assigned to
the handling of steamer accounts and to
check the rail and water accounts of the
same system. Later Mr, Turner entered
the service of the Delaware, Lackawana
& Western Railway at New York. "
Mr. Turner has been identified with
the Hill - interests In Oregon since 1909.

Seattle, July 9. (U. P.) Local Rus
sians, claiming to be the 'soviet of Rus
sian workers of Seattle," have tele
graphed President Wilson urging
against military .intervention and de
claring such action would be capitalized
by German influences to array the
masses against tha United States.
The message follows;
"The soviet of Russian workers of
Seattle, consisting of Russian. Finnish,
Lettish, Lithuanians and Ethonian or
ganlsatiops, et al. declare this to be
the moat critical moment for the United
States to consider military Intervention
in Russia for the reason that the Ger
man influence upon the discontented
masses in Russia, might serve as a dis
advantage toward the interest, of the
allies, particularly to the United States
of America.
As Russians and knowing the sentl
ment of the revolutionary movements
in Russia, which is no doubt recognised
as the only power in Russia, we kindly
urge the Amerioan government to reo
ognlse the Soviets of Russia. We do
this Because or our desire of maintain
lng tha friendly relationship between!
the people of our two countries, regard
less f their interior revolutionary mo
tives and in this way only will Russia
m tne very near future gladly and?
unitedly resist the German autocracy
by a powerful organised force.
"We also -desire to Offer our coo Dera
tion in all such activities and we trust
that the Soviets that are existing in
practically all cities of America will
lend their upport. Therefore, your ex
cellency, we hope that you will weigh
and consider our message in the same
spirit in which it is .sent, and we fur
ther hope, that you wilt lend us your
assistance in avoiaing counter revolu
tionary propaganda through the press
of this country, assuring you much bet
ter results and immediate cooperation
from we people or Russia,"
Salem. Or.. July J. The budget law.
as applied to road districts and other
districts with tax levying powers, was
declared unconstitutional in the opinion
handed down by supreme court today in
the case of A. H. Martin against Gilliam
countv. anDellant. The opinion
written by "Chief Justice McBrlde and
reverses Circuit Judge JX R. Parker:
The budget law as applied to counties,
however, is not affected by the decision
and will remain in full force and effect.
Tha aiil niiHtinn MtmM an action to
enjoin the collection of a 10-mlll 'special
road tax attempted to be levied by road
district No. 1 of Gilliam county. No
attempt whatever was made by the road
district to comply with , the so-called
budget law, although the supreme court
has previously herd that budget law ap
plied to road districts.
Soad Tax Talld
"The question therefore squarely pre
sented is as to the validity of a special
road tax levied under the 1917 highway
code without any budget," says Chief
Justice McBrlde.
. "The county budget law was enacted
by the 1913 legislature. Then the 1915
legislature passed a bill, which is chap
ter 222, laws of 1915, which attempted to
make all districts and corporate bodies
exceDt cities having a population of
160.000. having power to levy taxes sub
ject to the 1913 budget law, but the act
of 1913 falls to set forth in full the text
of the 1913 law being amended. The
court holds that the failure, to do this
is fatal to the 1915 law, as section 22.
article 4, of the constitution, says : No 1
act shall ever be revised or amended by
mere reference to its title, but the mat
revised or section amended shall be set
forth and published st full length,
Question Sot Up Before
"If it can be done In this instance,"
says Chief Justice McBrlde. "there is
no limit to the extent 'to which statutes
can be revised or amended without setr
ting forth the amended statute at full
length, and the constitutional provision
above quoted would therefore bs ren
dered nugatory.. The act of 1915 is void."
Speaking of former cases in which
the court held that the budget law ap
plied to road districts. Chief Justice Mc
Brlde points out that the question of
the irregular enactment of the 1917 law
was not brought to the attention of the
court before.

Salem, Or., July 9. Charges of fraud
which F. 8. Akin, appellant, made
against the late George W. Bates in
his suit for an accounting in connection
with operations of the Diamond Vitri
fied Brick company, were not sustained
and. Akin is entitled to no further ac
counting than he already has had. ac
cording: to sa opinion of the supreme
court handed duwn today.
Akin alleged that Bates had manipu
lated property of the Diamond Vitr!
fled Brick company to his profit while
other stockholders had not received
their share.
Chief Justice McBrlde, who wrote the
supreme court opinion, points out that
Akin's testimony is flatly contradicted
by witnesses for the other aids
"The complaint charges fraudulent
representations and' concealments by
Bates in regard to the condition of the
property, but these are not sustained
by the testimony,'' says the courts
opinion. "The trial judge, who head
the testimony and saw the witnesses,
was better able than we to Judge of
their credibility, was- of the opinion
that the plaintiff had failed to estab
