Both bouts would be staged either in the Yankee-stadium or in Rickard s Jersey City pine bowl, ltoyle's Thirty Acres. j - Rickard made this announce ment after an hour's conference with Gibbons and the latter's man ager, Eddie Kane, at which the St. Paul boxer came to definite terms with the promoter.

The department did not get one-ha'f the cases claimed and in many instances county of ficers were domineered, he said. Mr. Kletzing went into detail, later at the executive session. Kletxinr Hits Herwij; 'I can get rid of Cleaver in 12 hours if I could find a man to take his place." Mr. K!ezing testified he was told by Mr. Herwis:. The main trouble was that when Mr. Herwig found a man suitable to the Anti-Saloon league he was re fused by the governor, who found him unsuited politically. Mr. Her wig had a list of 30 possible can didates for the office, but none were satisfactory all the way round. Continuing his attack against Mr. Cleaver. Mr. Kletrine said that Cleaver had ordered S B. Sandifer. special agent at Med-" ford, to turn in hts star. San difer came to Portland, saw Mr. Herwigsand retained office until the first of the rear. ; Th's was admitted by Cleaver. ai w a statement made by KletIng that Cleaver had paid, his chamber nt commerce dues .from the prohi bition fund. ? V,h.e89TM . 82 .... .hwTif rr Surprises Are Sprung Several new things were sprung on the committee by Mr. Kletzing, including the statement that a cit izens committee had called upon the governor on July 23. demand ing the removal of Mr. Cleaver and , submitting - affidavits from four of his agents who 'offered to enter any county in which state agents had worked in jthe preceed ing 15 months and in 30 days nroduce more fines than1 were coN lected in the 15 months. Abe Weinberg, of whom much has been said, offered $1000 in cash and $5 a case for all liquor delivered 'n Lane county, but the offer was tassed up by District : Attorney Clyde N. Johnston. Cleaver's office were Leaks from reported to Herwig by Cleaver agents and the league knew whenever a man wai ent to any county, itj wa sstated. McMills. one of the agents, had ?one to a bootlegger and "borrowi ?d" $100, telling that; he was go-, ng to Klamath county, on one occasion. Matter Xot Personal i Upon being questioned as to his interest in the activities of the state department, Mr. Kletzing re- piied that it was to better the en forcement law. that record and movements were checked; at no ex4 en.e and because bei believed in prohibition. AH information re eived was volunteered and not a cent was paid to receive it. he said. " For some time he was a deputy sheriff, and for years has" oeen a member of the Methodist church board at Astoria. Mri Kletzing told Cleaver personally hat he bad deliberately spread 'he word that the league was a Klan outfit and obtained convic tions by taking cases before Klan judges. The league is an inde pendent organization and in no .uanner connected with the Klau. he said. I Many Witnesse ;Cllcd "Take the prohibition enforce--oient aw out of politics,' he said in closing. "At presejntj the .com missioner cannot deputize hi? own nen and must be bosaed by the governor, Herwig or someone. The governor hands out special agent badges to anyone who -pats him on the back and special agents and state prohibition ageuts are work ng under the same badge of auth ority, bringing much confusion." ; a or eight witnesses! appeared efore the committee before it ad ourned at midnight. R. A. Keator ormer district attorney at Pendle on. gave testimony that tended o refute Mr. Linville's remarks s to the excellent character of the federal agents, i He always, ound ' it easy to cooperate with tate agents. W. L. j Priest, field agent for the Burns dectective gency. formerly with the Canart an northwest police and with the "itelli-r-nce service (during the war, told of cooperation with -tate agents in makine several undred arrests and. that their haracter was a fair average, i . ; He Knew "Tilly" j ""All classes of citizens are pre judiced against state agents, ac cording to Sheriff lid Ellingsen. of Coos county, who cooperated with Cleaver men. He maintained 'hat it would be impossible to get sufficient officers In Coos county to make it dry. ! !

Ben Fisher, former. district at torney, of Marsh field, said that in 200 liquor cases. Cleaver men could be credited with 25 percent, the sheriff's office the same amount while the r"if- " percent were effected by coopera tion between state agents unu i.ie sheriffs office. .-, .Objections to the present law were voiced by Attorney ; Fisher, who held that, the county. If it de sires, can get more for Its money than 1 It ' can by paying wages to state agents, as there are only! a few of these to work In the 36 counties and they can't stay long , ia any one place; the overhead ex - ment, which la allowed $25,000 a year froni state funds, is toe great, he said, and that the pres ent law makes a district attorney a peace officer. He recommended monthly reports be made mandat ory upon the counties in reporting liquor fines. j ,Slny Make Talks J. H.

It must raise, under the present system, rather more than forty million dollars by direct property levy, j This means a pro perty tax levy of rather niore than an average of ; forty mills, with' a continued increase, as the needs of the state increase., At khe pres ent time the state is In sad need or many millions to covef the ur gent needs of all its institutions, ft ha an indebtedness of over six ty million dollars and pays more than'.three million dollars inter est, annually. More moey must be raised by taxation, but proper ty Is already carrying 4 greater load than it can bear. ; The burden of taxation falls most heavily on the realj property owner under the antiquated sys tem of taxing; what you jean see. In ancient days in England, the state called on the property own ers and took half he produced, the county came In for haljf the re mainder, his feudal lord appro priated half of what wa left him and the 'church came after thr balance. We think we have pro gressed but we are doing exactly as was done ) when th peop? forced King John to give- them the Magna Charter. j We tax Just what we can see and real ' property is easily seen A laree per cent of Oregon land is taxed today for a sum larger than its actual cash rental value. Neither an individual nor a busi ness ran prosper that draws on the capital owned. When expens es are paid from principal, the business must eventually' fail. This is likewise true of our tax system Let us. not delude - ourselves with the idea that we can reduce tares as a whole. In volume they must increase with the needs of the state the same as. :with mod ern comforts and hiethods of liv ing, the expense of thel home has increased. 3 But we can equalize taxation and there is but one way to do o. No intelligent person will dis pute the fact that taxes must be paid from income. They are a part of the ros of living and musj be met. not from capital, but from incomw. The question Is. can an equitable income tax be levied in a single State regardless of the taxing system of! its sister states and yet make it possible for business in the tate levying the income tax to meet competition in neighboring states arid at the same time encourage neiv business to come to the state, j I say most emphatically it can State taxation must i have a threefold object: f First: To maintain the govern ment 1 Second: To limit expenditures. Third: To encourage invest ment In the state. : The last is by no means the least important. The United States is the world's banker and must restrict immigration. Ore gon needs more people! and more capital and. its taxing Jaws must be framed to attract hoh. If a law is passed embodying the following features, -and I will be v glad to prepare such a law. Oregon will have taken a step in the right direction. Taxes on property will be decreased, new business will be gladf to locate here, and the man whp is work ing to build up community will be encouraged to put forth greater efforts.

Accordingly an inconie tax must be so framed that It will not add to the burden of the one who is paying his just share, but will tax the one who is not. . i . . The basis of the inc,ome tax Is the proved theory that expenses must be paid from income only. ; Thus we know that the entire K.ax levy on a paying business nust equal about twenty-five per ent of the net income. Example: Investment. $1,000,000.00 Tax valuations - 60 per cent. $600,000.00 I Taxes at average Oregon rate. 10 mills. $24,000.00. ; ! Eight per cent net,, over all.
