Opening shots were fired today in the senate in the tax redaction fight with the Mellon income tax rates being given the most atten tion. ' The intention of republican or ganization leaders to stand by the treasury schedule was Indicated In the opening speech by Chairman Smoot of the finance committee, who vigorously defended the rates. Senator Jones, New Mex ico, a democratic member of the committee, retaliated with a de nunciation of the proposed 50 per cent cut In the maximum sur tax and a plea for greater tax re daction even than proposed by the treasury. The revenue bill, over which the most extended and controversial legislative fight of the season is anticipated, was brought up under inauspicious circumstances. De spite the enthusiastic delegations cf the two speakers, less than a score of senators were on the floor throughout their address. Though, a point of no quorum was made to draw an audience but shortly after the roll calls, most or the senators, tired by the long . debate of yesterday on the bonus , to. retired. : .... Chairman Smoot called for a ::iag for the senate an hour curlier than usual tomorrow and ' announced reading of the bill for amendments would be started Im mediately. This could be deferred however for speeches. : Considera tion of controversial amendments will, in any ' event, be sidetracked for later disposition, Mr. Smoot said, and this Is expected to delay for more than a week a' showdown on the Income tax schedule.

Burning milk as its sole fuel, a locomotive of the Rock- Island railroad made a two hour trip today drawing five cars with 200 nassengers. The milk-fed train went from Engle wood to Beverly Hills and back, while 'ISO children ' passengers from the Chicago home for friend less children and the Chicago Or phan asylum cheered the retreat ing telegraph poles. "Milk in the fire box Is a new one," mused a railroad employe as Health Commissioner A. Bun desen who gave the party, stepped Into the cab to open the throttle officially. Dr. Bundesen's idea was to dramatize the fact that milk which jean be used for fuel for a locomotive, is also fuel for the human j body, containing en ergy which the body gets from it much as the locomotive does. Damaged j powdered milk was thickened with water, hardened, and broken into lumps for the fuel. nrrnn 11 nuiiiinD.y WILL BE HOMED Chamber! of Commerce to Entertain Those Whotiave Livkl Here 70 Years All Marion county people who are known to have been residents for the last 70 years have been in vited to attend the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday as special guests.

Carson. "The" Opinion was " requested "of Mr. Carson by the county court, following the action of the circuit sourt of Polk , county In the in junction sought i by .certain resi- lents of the county on the charge that the commissioners are only entitled to the money provided by statute. -'X- , The district attorney's - opinion follows: - .. . "The statute (section 3617 Ore gon laws) provides that the coun ty commissioners of Marion county shall receive as. compensation four dollars a day "for each day em ployed In the transaction of cOunty business. Per " diem allowance must therefore be made in accord ance with this provision. ! So tar as we can learn at this time our court has never passed directly upon the question of whether or not county commissioners, in the absence of statute, can recover from the county expense incident to service rendered, to the county, "Assuming, however, that a county commissioner has been duly invested with authority by the county court to perform pub lic service In connection with mat ters over which the county court has - jurisdiction and on - account of which authority to act may be delegated, it ; is my opinion ; that reasonable and necessary expense incurred by such commissioner in performance of the service' may properly be repaid to him by the county." ... :! - , .
