INCOME TAX BILL
OPPOSED BY KAY
CHALLENGES ANYONE TO SAY
THEY WERE COERCED
Oilier Measures Explained at
Chamber of Commerce Meeting
Monday
"It is an insult to the intelli
gence of the people of the state of
Oregon to hold that their political
opinions are dedicated by the
Portland Oregonian or any other
newspaper," said Thomas D. Kay,
state treasurer, in a speech at the
Saiem chamber of commerce yes
terday noon.
"I would like to see any mem
ber here present get up and say
that he was coerced by any news
paper into voting for any one of
tiie five candidates at the primary
election."
The oath taken by candidates
when they enter the race for party
nomination was read by Mr. Kay,
who said that a man who is break
ing his oath, the laws of the state,
and his pledge to the state, is
seeking to go back to Washington
to make the laws for the country.
"Why have the direct primary,
or any other primary, if a man can
do this," he continued. "It is dis
honest for a man to run for office
after his defeat at the primaries."
Ilaney, the real candidate of
those who support Stanfield for
Stanfield is only a smoke screen,
he believes showed in his report
eivea money irom Dig snipping
porations according to Mr. Kay.
AC this point D. A. White jump
ed to his feet protesting that the
discussion was becoming political,
but was silenced by cries of "sit
down" from members present.
"You all know what I was going
to say anyway so I will stop now,"
said Mr. Kay. v
In his speech Mr. Kay explained
the various measures to come up
on the ballot today, devoting par
ticular attention to the so-called
brange Income tax bill. He op
posed the bill on "the grounds that

PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 1.
(AP) With all candidates, or

expressing sublime confidence in
the outcome, the general cam

Republicans, democrats, independ

lief that the voters of Oregon will

each party and carry each to vic

I'p to the last minute the fight
was vigorously waged by the can

and for governor. More interest
is centered in the former than in
the latter contest because -of the
bitterness which prevailed for
weeks past. It is estimated by
various forecasters that the total
vote cast in Oregon will be beyond
200.000 and 210,000.
There is a keen contest over

TURNER CLAIMS KLAN FALSI
FYING TO DEFEAT HIM
R. R. Turner, state superinten
dent of public instruction, yester
day branded as a lie a statement
alleged to have been made "oy the
grand dragon of the Ku Klux
Klan of Oregon to the effect that
Turner, while superintendent of
the public schools at Grants Pass,
had opposed flying the American
flag over the school buildings
there.
"Any such statement as this is
an outrageous lie, and can have in
spiration only in the desire to ac
complish my defeat because I am
not a member of the Klan." read
a statement issued by Mr. Turner
here yesterday. "The fact that
I was elected from year to year
for 11 years as superintendent of
the schools at Grants Pass givea
the lie to flagrant misrepresentation."

ZONING REPORT
BEFORE COUNCIL
COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDA
TION ONCE ACCEPTED
Three Abler men Would Stand Be
hind Body, Others Reject
Its Plan
Need of having the city of Sa
lem divided into building zones as
soon as possible was strongly
brought out at city council meet
ing last night, when the council
voted to reject the action taken by
the zoning and planning commis
sion in the matter of a filling sta
tion for which application had
been filed, to be located at Center
and Capitol streets.
The committee had turned down
the application, and so recom
mended to the council, which
adopted the recommendation at a
meeting two weeks ago.
The action last night was pre
cipitated by Joseph Minton, attor
ney for Burger Bros., who had
filed the application for the fill
ing station. Mr. Minton asked
the council to reconsider its de
cision, as the district in question,
is not a strictly residence district,
and because he claimed the Bur
ber brothers should have a right
to use their property for business
purposes for which they had in
vested their money.
A motion was then made to re
consider the vote taken at the pre
vious meeting, and was passed
following considerable discussion.
Aldermen W. II. Dancy, S. E.
Purvine, and Hal D. Patton said
hey were in favor of standing by
the zoning commission, while oth
er members believed the matter
should be reconsidered.
Mayor John B. Giesy also em
phatically stated that he believed
the council should stand by the
zoning commission, that the mat
ter was already settled, and that
he could see no reason for recon-

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 1. (AP)
Stitches in the border of a small
wash cloth and an expensive towel
tonight were added to the multi
tude of threads of evidence, which
the authorities hold, link the dis
appearance here of Aimee Semple
McPherson with the immediately
following arrival at Carmel of
Kenneth G. Ormiston, fugitive
ridio man, and a mysterious, be
goggled woman.
The wash cloth is one that was
left in a Carmel cottage by Ormis
ton and the woman, whom author
ities believe was none other than
the wealthy and comely evange
list, when they fled 10 days after
taking occupation and paying
three months rent in advance.
The towel was found in a trunk.
seized in New York as the prop
erty of the radio man, and which
arrived in Los Angeles today af
ter being shipped across the con
tinent under $5,000 bond.
Investigators of the district at
torney's office who compared the
two here today declared that the
crocheted border of the wash
cloth and the towel were identical

Discovery of eight strands of
red hair in the trunk, which had
been overlooked when it was
searched In New York, will make
possible complete and thorough
identification of the owner of
combs and a hair ornament, to
which they were clinging, author!

had been found in a cap in the
trunk and had been forwarded by
air mail to District Attorney

"There is no question now but
that a complete and thorough
analysis of this hair can be made,"
said Keyes. "I am conxiheed that
