BARRAGE OF QUERIES
DELUGE OLD DEMOCRAT
Letter of Secretary Hughes
One Weapon) Used to
. Ward Off 1 Assault
WASHINOTOICr MarcJrrlT.
The four-power Pacific treaty. Its
purposes and possibilities and the
manner of its negotiations, passed
through another spectacular com
bat, of argument and oratory to
day on the floor of the senate.
Throughout the) battle of wits
the burden of defense wns car
ried by Senator ITriderwood of Al
abama, the Democratic floor lead
er, and a' member of the American
delegation to the arms conference.
Ringed by enemies of the treaty,
largely of his own! party, the mi
nority leader stood : for three
hours in his place in the center of
the chamber and replied in kind
, to the thrusts directed at him.
;:( ' Hughes Letter Jlead
Among the weapons of argu
ment used by the! Alabama sena
tor was a letter written to him by
Secretary Hughes J , head of ' the
. American conference plenipoten
tiaries, replying to charges that
the treaty resulted' from a British
Japanese plan to i allay the em
barrassments of the Anglo-Japan-
se alliance. Mr. Hughes asserted
that he himself had prepared a
draft of the treaty after consult
ing with -other delegates and that,
with minor e hanges it became the
final text' as signed and submitted
to the senate for ratification.
. - The state department secretary
farther declared "there was not
- the slightest mystery , about the
treaty or basis for suspicion about
It." He described It, as a straight
forward document; which attains
one of the most important ob-
f Jecta . the American government
1 haa had In 'view- the mainte
nance of friendly relations in the
Far East upon a sound basis.
Failure Would Be Calamity
- In view of thisl and in view of
the-relation of this treaty to the
results of the conference," con-
rludd,Mr. Hughes, "its failure
would be nothing

taxes -mm IN AT
ITE 117,000 EACH
Taxes are coming In to the
county at the rate of about $7.-
000 a day. For the past two
weeks or more that has been th3
daily average. On two or three
occasions, the sum has gone
above $9,000 in a single day. but
other days has fallen down, fo
that la $7,000 average is about
the limit.
A rather remarkable financial
condition haa been shown up in
this tax-paying period. For all
that this is said to be a "hard
year.'f with the devil of impover-i
ishment stalking every taxpayer
night and day. The shortage oLtitJ to draw interest at the rate of
tax money might have seemed
the normal expectation. Hut the
Help Is needed!
A pitiable condition prevails in
many home in Salem- Sickness
and poverty are in control of these
homes. In many of them the
head of the family is ill or out of
employment. In others the hus
band I and father is deliberately
evading his responsibilities of pro
viding for dependents. In a few

to be! a merchant. He was offer

eral store and there developed the
ability, to work a little naraer

After four years he .got ajoD
of chirking In a Crawfordsville
store j and by saving all he possi
bly could, managed to go into
business tor nimseai in aicAimn

to Salem and bought what is now

PITIABLE CONDITION SUM
IN MANY POOR HOMES HERE
;! (Continued on page 2)
office returns indicate that at
least the full normal proportion
of taxpayers are taking up their
whole year's tax obligation. In
stead of taking advantage of the
privilege of paying only one-half
at this time and the other half
in October. Actually more money
is coming in now than In other
years, for the records show that
the office lias written more re
ceipts for a given' ) tUne this
spri?, than they had bean able
tcvgbTandle in a like time in tne
other years.
The 1921 taxes are due and
i iyable at any time. They be
per cent a month, if not paid
homes the wife and children have
been deserted and the loyal moth
er must be aided in the unequal
struggle.
The Associated Charities of Sa
lem is trying to provide this aid.
The Associated Charities is rep
resentative of all local fraternal,
patriotic, religious, and social or
ganizations. When the charity
unit was organized last fall a gen
eral call was issued to all organi
zation for financial support In the
form of an annual contribution ot
10 cents per capita. Many of these
societies have responded and
about $1200 has been secured in
this manner.
Then;, through individual con
tributions and donations of sup-
plies the Associated Charities has
been enabled to help Salem's poor
with supply distributions as fol
lows: Wood to the value of $250;
fruit. 100 gallons; garments, 3,
500; bread, 300 loaves; potatoes,
45 sacks; flour, 50 sacks.
Dr, Henry E. Morris, treasurer
of the Associated Charities, said
last night that between $350 and
$400 will be; required to carry
the work through the remainder
of the season. Many organiza
tions have failed to make their
per capita payments, which if re
mitted would provide the sum
needed, it is said.

Provisions of Compromise
Measure Either Misunder
stood or Misrepresented,
Says Congressman.
CRISSINGER COMMENT
APPARENTLY INVOLVED
Mondell and Fordney Know
Nothing of Reported Pos-
sibility ot Veto -
WASHINGTON, March 11.
Prorisions of the compromise sol
dier bonus bill relating to bank
loans to former serrice men hare
been "either misunderstood or
misrepresented in some quarters,''
Representative Green, ranking Re
publican member of the ways and j
means committee, who Helped re
vise the measure, declared today.
While the Iowa member made
no direct comment on the an
nounced Intention of Comptroller
of the Currency Crissinger to ad
vise banks not to accept adjusted
compensation certificates as secur
ity for loans, it was generally re
garded that the statement was a
reply to the opinlno of the bill's
provisions expressed by Mr. Crle
singer. ' .
Rumors Declared False
Mr. Green's views were the first
definite expression from Republi
cans of the ways and means com
mittee to the stand taken by the
currency comptroller.
Coincident with Mr. Green's
declaration. Republican leaders in
the house declared that despite ru
mors reaching the capital that
President Harding was opposed to
the present draft of the bonus
bill, there had been no change in
plans which call for a. report, of
the measure on Monday bx .the
ways and means committee "iand
passage of the bill by the house
a week later.
Representative Mondell. Repub
lican leader, Chairman Fordney
and other members of the ways
and means committee said that to
their knowledge the president
had given no indication to any
member of congress that he would
veto the bill if it were passed
without a sales tax provision.
Two Members Gone
' Two members of the committee.
Representatives Longworth, Ohio
and Bacharach, New Jersey, who
have advocated a sales tax to raise
the necessary revenue were not in
Washington today and it could not
be learned whether they had been
able to ascertain the president's
views.
Chairman Fordney said the bill
probably would be amended by
the committee before favorable
report is ordered, to do away with
the requirement that a war veter
an must decide within six months
which of the options provided in
the bill he would accept.
The chairman said, however.!
that if a former service man ac
cepted insurance, it was to date
retroactively from October 1,
1922.
Men in Xeed Considered
Representative Green in his
statement said:
"When the ways and means
committee struck out the cash
provisions of the former bill to
which so much objection had been
made, it was thought advisable
to make some provisions for sol
diers who were or should become
in need, and for this purpose the
bank loan provision was inserted.
"It seems to be assumed by
some that all of these loans would
run to October 1, 1925, but that
date was merely inserted as the
very latest which might be fixed
for the maturity of loans by the
banks, in order that transactions
with the banks might thereafter
be closed. It was nos intended
that the banks would make the
loan in the first instance for more
than that time usually given on
commercial paper, although a sav
ings bank might do so. The gov
ernment agrees to cash these
notes if hey are six months over
due. Statement Sufficient
"The mere statement is suffi
cient to show that the ordinary
bank holds little paper so well
securad or upon which collection
could so quickly be enforced if
the maker fails to pay. If the
'frozen securities' now held in
large quantities by many banks,
the result of loans made with the
approval of the comptroller of the
currency, had been backed by such
a guarantee, they would have
been paid long ago."

Some Whose Names Are on
List Will and Some Won't
and Some Tell Whv
Are Salem women shirking
their duty In refusing to serve bn
the jury. All of those who flle
claims for exemption are not 'do
ing it "Just' becaase." On the
other hand, some are saying "just
because" or will when they are
called.
"I'll not serve if I can get out i
ot It." No remark Is more fre-
quefltly used by those women!
whs3 names are included In the
1922 jnry list.
How like a woman?
WelU maybe, bnt at that not
at all unlike the average man's
thought even it he does not ex
press it. r Only he doas not have
any option and a woman has. in
Oregon. Really is there any: dif
ference? t
"I certainly shall serve when I
am called." declared Mrs. William
Pverett Anderson, president of
the Salem 'Women's club, in
cpeakiag of women's Jrry service
last night. Mrs. C. P. Bishop,
president of the Republican Wo
men's Study club is among those
caned and will serve on the jury.
"I cannot leave my small chil
dren so I must claim exemption,"
say several Salem women in com
menting on their inability to ans
wer thecal).
; "My rwork Is such that I could
not do so under any consideration,
I Just can't."
And then comes the cool voice
quietly and absolutely within her
rights, "Xo, I am not going to
serve."
I am sure that Marion county
women will not fail in their duty
as citizens In the long run," said
Miss Mattie Beatty. prominent
Marion county club woman.
"Many have not yet been called
and although many of these will
claim exemption I am sure it is
not nearly as bad as it might be."
And, after all, the law says
they need not give any reason for
not serving and how many men
would like to get out even with
half that mueh trouble?

William Hotho Sentenced
After Hearing in Justice
Court Yesterday
William Hotho, 30. yesterday
entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of possessing liquor. Ho
tho, who lives in the hills, 18
miles east ot Silver ton, was vis
ited by Deputy Sheriffs Smith and
Barber Friday and a moonshine
outfit and three gallons of liquor
were seised.
Recent reports received by
county officials are to the effect
that thereliaa been a Oow of li
quor to lumber camps near Sil
verton. Proprietors of the camps
have made every effort to dis
courage liquor distribution, it Is
said, but nearby farmers and
rum runners occasionally get ffl"-
supply. Moonsalne
unuor is
not favored in the camps because
it promotes accidents and trou
ble, employers say.
"I had a till. 1 ran orf two
batches. I would have sold it
too. If I could," Hotho is quot
ed as saying. But Bill had little
chance to sell this batch, because
the officers stepped in.
"Four months in the county
ail," declared Judge Unruh, after
the Justice court hearing yester
day.
And then, there was something
that WJilliam Hotho had not con
sidered. If William did not for
get, at least 1t was not permitted
to interfere with his moonshine
operations.
And that ignored tJ-nething
was William Hotho's loyal wife
and four children.
William, it is reported, took to
the liquor making industry when
he eould not secure employment
at camps noar Silverton. He is
also Capable of honest work in
the woods as a timberman. Other
men camp from distant places and
secured jobs in the camps, but
Hotho, despite bis residence in
the timber region, was unemploy
ed. It may also have occurod to
him that there was more money
In making booze.
But Hotho remembered his
tamily when arraigned in Justice
court yesterday. .
He relieved himself of a few
near sobs about the time it be
came evident that a four-months
jail senteice would interfere with
moonshining for that time at
least.
Other Marion county boote
handlers have recalled the sad
plight of their families when
confronted by a jail senffnee for
law -violation. One of the men
now serving a sentence is said to
have asked Sheriff Bower several
weeks ago if he could spend Sun
days at hom In aiding the fam
ily. This despite the fact that
two counties and a community
reliff unit have aided this family
'The Hotho family will be
given aid by Marion county," said
Judge Bushey yesterday. "Dur
ing the next four months it will
be our task to see that the fam
ily is provided for.
I would like to observe," con
tinued Judge BusSey. '.'that those
who are patrons of bootleg-gen
and moonshiners ate never In evi
dence when it comes to nrovid-
ing for the families of the men
whom they have paid to violate
the law. Tet one can always
hear much lament because the
law is enforced and the cost of
sucn work."

platform, including a curtailment
of the bond-issuing practice.
Senator Patterson's' platform
follows in full:
"The state of Oregon is facing
a real tax crisis. Taxes of the
state and its sub-divisions for the
year are in excess of forty
millions of dollars, and with over
four million dollars in delinquent
Uaxes on the rolls, the great need
