Salem was selected, for the con- ventionr-city for the second an nual, meeting after Medf ordf had made a strong bid for the honor. Because" of Its favbrable' location fop the ipoint of origin of the car avan and that the hospitality club was. organized in' Roseburg, it was decided -that the convention should be held in some city other than, in southern Oregon. ); ' 4', '-, By-laws were drafted at the meeting, yesterday and will be rat ified at the - annual meeting ' In DILL IS HEilD Inheritance and Income ' Taxes Would Be Prohibit ed by Dennis Measure V A measure that may, prohibit both income and inheritance faxes In Oregon was introduced fia the senate yesterday by Senator Bruce Dennis, of" Union and Walfowa counties.;::. .

The rfeselutloif provides that the ' feonstitutfottiort he-state be amend-' ed by. adding a new section leading No tax upon" inheritances or upon the income of residents or citizens of the- state' shan be levied -by the state of Oregon, or under its- au thority." ' -". In his -explanation of ' the bill. Senator Dennis stated that Florida had recently adopted such an amendment, and as a result, capi tal and investment in the state had increased to an enormous ex tent. Senator Dennis believes that if the measure is passed and' ap proved by the people,- there will be a tremendous- expansion of business interests Jn the state and an according Influx of capital and development of resources, I - - t "I consider the passage .of this measure," Senator Dennis! stated; "would ' be a direct invitation to 1 the people of the- middlewest and the east to come to Oregon, and to make their homes and establish their business here unhampered by tax legislation; A very large' num- ber of business concerns of the highest standing have given up the Idea-of building. factories In the Oregon field, due to the fact that this state was contemplating: in come tax legislation. I believe the support ot this measure would do more than' anything else towards bringing wealth and industry into Oregon."

Pierce, manager of the Marion hotel. At a meeting in Roseburg on April 29. 1924, the Hospitality club was officially; crested and Mr: Pierce elected its first president. Other officers elected were M. S. Taylor, of, North ..Bend, at that time Captain KIdd oti.the. Coos Bay Pirates, and R. O. Snelling, of the Salem .Cberrians, as secre tary.

Salem Federation! of' Clubs Does Rot Want Shacks in Business District - .1 Frame shacks known as "sky scrapers," built in the business section ot the city; charity that gives an abundance to one 'family and leaves another In hunger; auto parking, -where street cars pass, and a few other matters of general Interest came in for full discusslonlasf .evening, at the meeting of delegates to the Salem Federation of clubs held last eve ning at the Chamber ot Commerce. The federation went on record as favoring a zoning ordinance and cited several frame - shacks and frame buildings bailr flash with the sidewalk as evidence of a need of such an ordinance. J Organized:Cbarity under one management was also endorsed by the federation. Attention-, was called to thevf act that several fam ilies in the northern part . ot 1 the city were living high, while others really in need had no help what- ever. . ' ? j r Parking of autos where street cars pass was declared to be one of the dangerous practices.

Stalker bill violates two prin ciples the constitutional provi sions against ''unusual- punish ment," and the well established and human element in the admin istration of justice llrhlch leaves to the courts the adjustment' of punishment to fit the 'facts of each particular case. . I -f - - Such a IawL. he argued, would cause juries to "balk; at the con viction of a person; charged with violation of the Volstead act when the conviction, inevitably would be followed by a prisdn sentence, even in .the case of a( first offend er, as a prison convict, required to -pass through life! as a 'jail bird.' ; v.j , h (. y "Itls nbCtrue as claimed by the proponents of this bill, that the'se changes apply only to commercial malefactors," Mr. Graham assert ed. "It applies to any violation of the prohibition law nd is broad enough to take in any minor case. : "One can readily see how the most trivial case could' arise under the word 'manufacture. The farm- erwho converts cider from his apples into an intoxicating liquor by simply aHowIng it to ferment would- be manufacturing under the Volstead act.
