Questioning the legality of fees

private citizen, yesterday present-

" ed :to the- county court a letter
urging that the bills be disallowed
f . In his letter Judge McMahan listed
V"; 2S 'bills for fees wrnich he had

According to the transcriot. ore-
pared, a total of $117.25 ia fees
was claimed by the Justice court
from these 28 bills. In his com
munication to the county court.
V Air, MCManan declares mat over
I $ 1 00 should be disallowed because
j(. of Illegality. In the first bill, for
example, listing 23 docket entries

V, McMahan declares ; that the law
Vites that only 21 of these ahoftld
oo allowed. The bill originally
entered asks for $5.75 for this
;Jtem. f Judge McMahan says that
only fifty cents should be paid.
This procedure. Mr. McMahan
declares, has prevailed in the jus
tice courts here for ten or twelve
5 oars, and has been f oilowei by
all previous officers. In his ac
tion, Judge McMahan stated; he Is
not aiming at Brazier C. Small,
present justice of the peace, but
at the system in 'vogue here..
"In justice to the official claim

only fair to state that he has only
followed precedents hoaTyl with

"However, an illegal claim can

' of the amount claimed. No pre
sumptions can be indulged in.fav-H-f
of the claim. On the contrary
7every doubt as to the validity of
l'yie claim presented to you must
be resolved against it.
"It is apparently customary for
police officers of this city to ar
rest persona charged with some
offense of which the recorder's
court has jurisdiction, and the po
lice officers often file these cases
with the justice of the peace, and
when they are disposed ot, the
justice of the peace files claims in
this court for fees," Mr. McMahan
continues. "These cases should be
tried in the police court of this
city where the officers are all upon
.salaries, thus making no expense
whatever to the taxpayers. My in
terpretation of the law is that
these made and unnecessary ex
penses are not properly a charge
against the county. '

Armory Doors Closed at 10
O'Clock Last Night After
Busy Three Days
FAIR PROVES SUCCESS
Community Exhibits Greatly Im
proved; Free Ice Cream is
Magnet for Countless
Youngsters
With a crowd flowing Into the
Armory until the aisles were
packed almost to a point where
navigation was impossible for the
last two hours, the Marion-Polk
County Annual Corn Show, held
under the auspices of the Salem
Chamber of Commerce, drew to a
successful but reluctant close at
10 o'clock last night. It is esti
mated that Saturday night's crowd
easily broke the Saturday night
attendance record at the corn
show.
From the time the show opened
on Thursday morning until' it
closed last night the crowds have
been packing ever heavily into the
Armory, and it is estimated by of
ficials of the local Chamber of
Commerce that the attendance this
years has been at least double that
of last year.
After the doors were closed the
Armory was still the scene of a
busy flurry. Men and women were
rushing about in an endeavor to
take down their community ex
hibits. By Monday noon all of j
the exhibits will have been re- j
moved from the auditorium of the
Armory and the framework of the
booths will have been taken taken
down.
It is the general concensus of
opinion that the community ex
hibits this year have been without
exception far more artistic and
more attractive than they were in
the three corn shows held in pre
ceding years. All of the communi
ties exhibiting this year except
Scotts Mills have exhibited form
erly, and it was obvious that they
have profited from experience in
realizing how to make their ex
hibits better. All in all the corn
show was acclaimed to be the
best .organized and themost at
tractive ever to be held inMarion
county. The various? exhibitors
were heard to remarklwtth' satis
faction concerning the show, and
to express the hope that they will
be able to exhibit again next year.
One of the features that packed
the Armory last night for the clos
ing hours of the show was that
put on by the Weatherly Ice Cream
company, under the personal di
rection of P. M. Gregory, proprie
tor. Hundreds of Dixiecups, little
cups containing ice cream, were
given away, and Santa Claus was
on hand to make the presentation.
Three persons were kept busy
filling the cups for Santa to dis
tribute. The news of the whole
sale handing out of ice cream
spread rapidly among the youngs
ters of the city, and it teas not
long until a host of boys invaied
the Armory. Practically every

BUREAU MAKES REPORTS
Total Personal Tax Payments
Show Gain of 3.7 Percent
for Year of 1924, Over
1023 Incomes
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (By
Associated Press.) Despite a re
duction in rates treasury receipts
from personal incomes for 1924
are greater by $25, 482, $80 than
for the previous year.
The total personal tax payment
for 1924 is $689,134,185, or a
gain of 3.7 per cent over taxes
on the 1923 incomes. The growth
in the total receipts occurred not
withstanding a decrease of nearly
400,000 in the number of returns
filed, which to September 30 last
was 7,289,481.
Statistics of the 1924 income,
made public tonight by the in
ternal revenue bureau as the
house ways and means committee
neared completion of its work on
a new tax law, showed an aggre
gate personal net income of
$25,023,210,893. That amount
the bureau calculated, was about
three fourths of one percent
greater than the net income in
1923.
Thousands of individuals found
themselves aligned in new classes
of incomes and subject to differ
ent rates of tax as a result of the
changed exemptions, personal
credits and rates made effective
by the present law, although the
number of persons reporting in
comes of $1,000,000 and over
numbered 74 each of the years
1923 and 1924. This class in 1924
includes three with incomes above
$5,000,000, three between $4,
000,000 and $5,000,000. four be
tween $3,000,000 and $4,000,000,
15 between $2,000,000 and $3
000,000, 13 from $1,500,000 to
$2,-000,000 and 36 from $1,000,
000 to $1,500,000.
Deductions for losses in prior
years amounted to $45,000,000
for-Ioeses, in 1922, $34,0fO,O00 in
1923 and only $15,769,000 in
?24.
There were substantial decreas
es in the number of returns for
the classes with incomes from
$1000 to $4000. For 1923 to a
total of 2,215,324 filed returns on
incomes of $1000 to $2000 while
in 1924 to number was 2,350,494.
There was a reduction from 2,
470,970 to 2,308, 862 in the num
ber of returns on incomes from
$2000 to $3000. Those between
$3000 and $4000 decreased from
1,125,464 to 1,051,346.
Increases were shown in the
number of returns for the class
beginning with incomes of $5000
and extending to the millionaire
class.
The 25 per cent credit for
erned income reduced the govern
ment's receipts by $27,538,273,

CALIFORNIA BEARS ARE
PUT TO ROUT BY NEVERS
DASHING STANFORD CAPTAIN
HERO OF THRILLING GAME
Palo Alto Eleven Victor Over
Berkeley Team by Soore of
26 to 14
STANFORD STADIUM, TALO
ALTO. Cal.( Nov. 21. (By Asso
ciated Press.) This is the saga
of Nevers of Stanford. Neither
myth nor legend but a whirling,
crashing hurricane that split
asunder the University of Califor
nia eleven, backed the fighting
Golden Bear upon his haunches,
knocked him over his own goal
line four times and laid him pros
trate on the gridiron in (the 32nd
renewal of the annual colorful and
picturesque "big game" spectacle
of Pacific coast football before
approximately 75,000 persons.
The score was: Stanford LC;
California 14.
The victory was Stanford's first
ever the Bear since 1905 in Amer
ican football but it was obtained
only after one of the most sensa
tional last quarter rallies ever seen
on any gridiron. The BerKeiey
hosts, seemingly routed complete
ly by the red shirts of Stanford in
.the first and second quarters when
Nevers and his cohorts accumu
lated three touehdowns, rallied ar
ter half time and during the clos
ing quarter pushed over two touch
downs and came within two yards
of another' before losing the ball
through Nevers' tight secondary
defense.
Only with the closing gun did
the apprehension ot Stanford that
California might repeat Stanford's
achievement of last year when the
Cardinals tied the score in the
final period, disappear. And then
the red shirts celebrated cele
brated the victorv that the men
of tne Stanford red have been hop
ing and praying might come in
each of the past six years, ever
since 1919 when Stanford resumed
American football. After serpen
tining over the gridiron, the Card
inal rooters' gathered in front of
the blue and gold section and ex
ulted. And, to one man Captain
Nevers the 200 pound fair-haired
boy from Santa Rosa, triple
threat man supreme, can the long
awaited Stanford triumph be laid.
Although Nevers on offense was a
terror to the blue and gold, al
though he handled the ball in
tome fashion on virtually every at
tack, the red men launched; al
though he punted for an average
of more than 40 yards; although
he gained 122 yards from scrim
mage and was on the throwing
end of four Stanford passes, all of
which were completed; it was on

ing poor. We are going' to have
a fine children's picture on that
day. We want you all to come.
Remember, bring a bundle of
clothing that people can use, and
get here before 3:30 o'clock.
There is -need in Salem. With
the coming of winter, this need
will become greater; By attend
ing this Used Clothes Party, the
children of Salem can keep poor
people warm, and give the Asso

supply to meet all demands.
