Santa Claus spent a busy day
in Salem yesterday, but be brought'
joy to many boys and girls, and
grown people also. Accompanied
by his two reindeer and Skooklux,
bin big assistant, he visited the
state Institutions during the morn
ing and paraded through the
streets of Salem in the afternoon,
followed by an admiring crowd of
about 5000 children who strug
gled to touch his clothes or feel
th soft fur of Deneer and Pranc
er, the two reindeer.
'Santa began his morning's jour
neys with a visit to the blind
school, where the children felt his
long beard and touched the fur
rut Dancer and Prancer, although
they could not see Santa himself.
However, they could hear his loud,
cheery voice as he addressed them,
and that was a lot of satisfaction.
Accompanied by Dancer, Pranc
er, and Skooklux, Santa next went
to. the school -.for the feeble-minded,
where the whole population,
men. women and little children,
were drawn up in front of the
steps to receive him. All enjoyed
him, even the grown people, and

hearts.

the buildings, where the feeble
minded children, who cannot walk,
could see him and the reindeer
through the windows.
From there he went in his
sleigh, drawn by the two lightn-iflg-swirt
reindeer, to the girl's
school, where all the younger

ilt was said that the committee
woUId give considerable study

earnings tax and the methods
used there in taxing Intangibles.
Reports received here Indicated
that California derives a large
amount . of revenue from, the
gross earnings tax, and has been
quite successful in unearthing in
tangibles for taxation purposes.
IntOregon the revenues from "the
Intagible tax have been nominal.
JJThe committee also will make
an investigation of the corporation
tax now in operation in California.'
Statements received ? from the

Grounds
The farmers of the Mt. Angel
district are going to grow sugar
beets, and - they may have the
largest acreage of any commun
ity, in the valley; for they have a
vast amoint of land, on all sides,
that ts suitable for sugar beet
growing, and they have many
farmers who are capable of mak
ing -beet growing a big success.
The meeting at Mt. Angel last
night was veil attended, by in
terested farmers. Jos.' J. Keber,
cashier of the Bank of Mt. Angel,
presided.
Kenneth Miller was the first
speaker, telling of the interest of

To Grow Own Sugar
C. M. Dickinson spoke of the
cultural methods necessary In suc-
cessful beet growing and its ad
vantages. It is a cash crop, he said, and
it should be possible soon for the
Willamette .valley to at least sup
ply its own needs in sugar for
canning and domestic purposes,
which, he said, would save $8,
000,000 annually fVom being sent
away from home for the supply
needed.
He said ' sugar will make the
yields df following crops larger,
improve the soil, increase the
population.' make smaller farms,
yielding larger revenue than pres
ent larger. holdings and double
the selling-per" value of farming
lands. He sajd that if the pres
ent experiment proves successful,
it will bring a number of beet
sugar factories to the valley.
- It was -brought out .last night
that the Mt. Angel College people
will likely grow sugar beets on
part of their land. Also that a
n s mber ..o-tkaiet Ca rtners in
Oregon, in that locality, are ex
pecting to grow beets. , Jos. J.
Keber was named to select a com
mittee of farmers to further con
sider the acreage.
There will be a meeting at Mon
roe at 1:30 today, and at Turner

WASHINGTON. Dec. 6. (AP)
The commonplace little courtroom
wheTe Albert B. Fall and Edward
L. Doheny are on trial for crim
inal conspiracy was Tdcked 'today
by a rumbling exchange between
a pugnacious admiral and a quick
spoken and determined prosecutor.
The admiral-witness was John
K. Ro1ison, a storm center of the
oil controversy ever tdnce the sen
ate committee discovered three
years ago that he approved on be
half of the navy the oil leasing
policy of 1922. His cross examin
er was Owen W. Roberts, who had
made a national reputation for
himself as a member of the gov
ernment's special counsel.
Many of the verbal deptli
littinbH launched by Roberts in the
direction of the 'witness stand
merely erved the purpose of in
creaKing the intensity of tho
broadsides that "came-back in re
ply.' But once or twice the admiral
showed signs of losing his sea
logs. He conceded he had been
wrong in testifying previously that
he had not talked to Doheny in
New York about the Elk Hills
