Demand for a special election
the second Tuesday In September
is made by 1L. L. Swan, Albany
attorney and Linn county repre-
sentatire to the state legislature.
by an original proceeding in man
damus filed with the supreme
court' Tuesday by Attorney- John
11. McNary of Salem, and specify
lng that Sam A. Kozer, secretary
of state, appear Friday .morning
to show cause' why. such an elec
tion should not be called. An or
der to this effect was signed by
Chief Justice T. A. McBride. The
petition - charges 1 that Governor
Walter M. Pierce did not hare a
constitutional" right1' to reto a
measure passed by the last legis
lature calling for a special elec
tion in the fall. V ;
I , 'Sensing that the referendum
would be inroked against the rev
enue-producing, measures, namely
the tobacco tax, bus bill and
"tithing" bill, the legislature pass
ed a bill calling for a special elec
tion in order that1 the proposed
revenue might not be delayed.
This bill was vetoed by the gover
nor and later the referendum was
invoked, postponing the collection
of revenue until the general elec
tion In November, 192 6.
The proposed bus measure Is
estimated to Increase the revenue
about f250, 000 each year- while
the tax upon tobacco is estimated
at $750,000 each year with an ad
ditional. $85,000- annually from
the so-called tithing bill, provid
ing for a tax of 10 per cent npon
self-sustaining state departments
and commissions. ' - ' y - '
' It is pointed out that had. the
legislature' seen fit, they Could
have substituted a resolution call
ing for the special - election . in
place bt the bHi;whlch Would not
have been subject to the approval
of the governor. .
The petition filed yesterday
takes the stand that under Che
referendum' and Initiative amend
ment, provision is made that all
. elections on measures' referred to
the people shall be held at the
biennial regular general elections
except when the legislative assem
bly .shall order a special election
The contention t is made that the
passage of the act by the legisla
ture is sufficient and does not
need the sanction of the governor.
Provision is' also made that with
the exception of a bill providing
the establishment of a normal
' school in eastern Oregon, which
will not.be voted upon until No
vember, 1928, all other measures
that were referred should be voted
upon at the special election in
September. These : proposed con
stitutional amendments are:
Dennis resolution declaring
against inheritance and Income
taxes for 15 years.
Authorizing governor to fill va.
cancles caused by "recall. i ,
Authorizing Curry county to ex
ceed 6 per1 cent tax limitation. ' --

Is Said False
CHICAGO. June 23 (By The
Associated Press) Today's ses
sion of the trial of William Darl
ing Shepherd for.1 the slaying of
his former foster son, William
Nelson McClIntock saw the con
clusion of testimony and the com
mencement of arguments after
Shepherd testified in bis own de
fense. : y
- A denial of all the state charges
made by Shepherd under question
ing of hi3 attorneys, occupied three
minutes after which he was sub
jected to an hour and a half of
cross examination. ;Tbe conclu
sion of the cross examination and
a crowded court room gasping at
the brevity and its trend, the ac
cusation not being touched upon.
In today's session was crowded
the real drama of the five weeks
trial, being furnished by Shep
herd's testimony and the demand
for the state for the death penalty
as punishment for the "coldly
calculated, brutal and atrocious
murder," as the slaying of Mc
ClIntock was characterized. After
entering an emphatic "I did not"
in reply to each accusation. Shep
herd asserted that prior to the In
vestigation into McClintock's
death, he had never seen Charles
C. Falman, who accused him ot
killing his foster son by innocu
latlng him with typhoid germs. He
denied ever Inquiring about a
bacteriological cdVrse at the
school of science conducted by Fal
man, , , r " , . - -
The story of his ' life was de
veloped during the cross examina
tion at the hands . of prosecutor
Robert E. Crowe. It showed Shep
herd's business career had been
unsuccessful until he went to live
with Mrs. Emma Nelson McClin
tock, mother of ''Billy",
Today, at 49,' the witness ad
mitted that two parcels of real es
tate and a f 3w shares of stock re
present his life savings.
From 1912, three years after he
and' his wife became part of the
McClintock household, they paid
nothing for their livelihood, Shep
herd admitted. This continued af
ter her death and the estate pass
ed to the son.
Shepherd explained Mrs. Mc
Clintock's desire for the compan
ionship of his wife had led this ar
rangement. He was employed he
testified in "whatever Mrs. Mc
Clintock wanted me iff do..
' Questioning by Prosecutor
Crowe elicited the admission' by
Shepherd 1 that he had known
Billy McClintock had ordered the
home which he shared with the
Shepherds sold and had written
to 'a young woman that he was
"broke" and the future looked
doubtful. ' r " '
Then the state's attorney an
nounced that's "all"" and Shepherd's-
astonishment at "not being
questioned concerning the accusa
tions against him was evident as
he left the witness stand. The
Prosecution was apparently con
tent to submit its case, depending
upon its own witnesses.- " "

General Principle of Adminiatra-
1 tion Favored; Action To Be
" Taken
WASHINGTON, June 23 (By
The Associated Press) -The first
definite step looking to a tar re
duction of $300,000,000 by the
next congress was taken today at
a conference between Chairman
Green of the house ways and
means committee, and Secretary
Mellon and under-secretary Wins
ton of the treasury. . ,
Mr. Green and the treasury offi
cials were understood ' td have
been in agreement as to the gen
eral1 principles of an administra
tion program. The committee
chairman maintained his ' opposi
tion to repeal of toe estate taxes
favored by the administration, but
was said to have found little other
ground for differences on the pro
posal to lighten the burden on the
people by a cut of about the sam
proportion as was Involved in the
last tax revision.
, No attempt was made today to
go into details of new rates and
the discussion was confined almost
wholly to a question of policy.
The treasury position has been
stated repeatedly in expressions by
Mr. Mellon and Mr. Winston, and
it will go no farther than to sub
mit its facts and to the house com
mittee which statesments of its
views when they are sought. " J
Mr. Green was informed today
jf the treasury's finances, was
given the views of those in charge
Ohere as to what they believed
practicable in the way of reduc
tion. It was not disclosed whether
th analysis of the returns, on the
basis of ' production by specific
rates, was gone into, but it was
understood the trend of income to
the government from the, surtaxes,
lowered by the last law was con
sidered, i - '
. It was also Indicated Mr. Green
had Informed the treasury of his
dovfbt that the estimate of $3,000,-
000 advanced by the president In
his budget meetinsr address lmt
night'aa" the' limit for government
expenditures In the fiscal year be
ginning July 1, ,192, could be at
tained. This estimate ha a (vital
bearing on the tax reduction pro
gram and to the extent that the
amount is exceeded, the treasurv
must find additional income If the
$300,000,000 cut Is carried out.
The house ways and mean a
chairman feels that activities of
some of federal agencies will be
injured if they have their total
appropriations cut further as he
believes would " be necessary' to
reach the maximum cost fixed by
Mr. Coolidge. .
"As a rule," said Mr. Green af-
terahe conference, coneresa "fca
appropriated little less than the
budget called for. While every
effort will be made to keep within
tne figure named by the nresident
there are certain activiHen in tho
