SO many deplorable accidents have occurred in the woods of the Pacific North west this fall, due to careless ness and thoughtlessness on the part of hunters who shot first and thought later, that there has been aroused a wave of pub lic indignation in some sections. In Portland, for example, re sentment against these needless deaths and Injuries at .the hands of careless hunters has reached fever heat. Recently news dis patehes reported the shooting of a man on a white horse. Appar ently some , who go into the woods to hunt shoot at any and everything that moves. Salem has many experienced hunters and sportsmen. In order to find out how this community feels about this matter 'the New Ore gon Statesman asked a number of persons to give their views. This is the way they put it: ALBERT SCHINDLER. route 2.' said: "The fellows who shoot at a deer every time they hear a rustle are like the fellows who try to race with every train they see. The sad thing is that they never get hurt." CLARENCE TOWNSEND. lo cal barber, said: "Men that shoot like that are not hunters and they certainly aren't sports. They are probably bo seated that they shoot at the first thjng that moves. When they get.out they should never be allowed to use a gun of any kind." TOM WOLGAMOTT, Salem sportsman, said: "A man is not hunting for deer unless he is looking for horns. Otherwise he is violating the law and should be punished." KEN BROWN, local sporting goods dealer, said: "I know of one , hunter who has made a practice of shooting into the brush whenever he sees it mov ing. He's been very fortunate, and has bagged a few deer this (Turn to Page. "2, Please.) Charges Whispered Against G. O. P. Nominee Brand- . i ed as Gross Libel " MITCHELL. S. D., Sept. 28 (AP) Senator W. E. Borah of Idaho in an address here today defended Herbert Hoover against charges that he is unfriendly to the American farmer. "Never was grosser libel ever circulated in a campaign," Borah declared. The senator discussed farm re lief, prohibition, deflation and the Underwood tariff. The Under wood : tariff, he said, placed the fanner at the mercy of peon la bor all over the world. Questioned by persons in the audience regarding Hoover's ar guments with the packers after the war, Borah declared that "had Hoover been wastefully extrava gant in his dealings with packers, I would a million times rather support him than the grand leader and chieftain of Tammany hall, the most corrupt political organiz ation In the world." Prohibition, Borah declared, was being dragged into the cam paign over the heads of the plat form makers of both the demo cratic and republican conventions, "by the corrupt political organi sation, Tammany hall." He as serted that the 18th amendment must be kept on the statute books and that if it is to bo kept there women of America must realize the prohibition fight is their fight." Hoover, Borah said, stands for rigid enforcement of the dry act, but can any one conceive of the governor and Mr. Raskob getting their heads together, in case the governor is elected, and appoint ing enforcement officers to enforce the statues which Raskob has de clared a 'damnable outrage.'

"The government of the United States feels that no useful pur pose would be served by accepting as a basis of discussion the Franco-British proposal," an Am erican identic note to the two powers, made public tonight by the state department, said. "The American government has no objection to any agree ment between France and Great Britain which those countries think will be to their advantage and in the interest of limitation of armaments, but naturally can not ' consent that such an agree ment should be applied to the United States." Objections Listed' Specifically the American ob jection to the Franca-Britlsh ac cord was based on the contention that it would restrict only types of ships "peculiarly suited to the needs of the United States," and leave' unlimited combat- ships of greatest value to any nation hav ing widely "distributed fuelling bases or great merchant marine tonnage. Th note was marked through out by a sharpness in tone and frankness In stating the Ameri can viewpoint that plainly Indi cated irritation in Washington over the Franco-British procedure. It also disclosed textually the vital part .of the Franco-British agree ment which Londan and Paris, up to this time, had. declined - to make public. " ' Farther ftagcrstioM O. K. After recalling that the Franco- British understanding was based on a proposal to submit the agree ment to me nexi meeting- oi me preparatory commission for the disarmament conference as a basis for ' considering ' further naval limitation, the American note ex pressed willingness to "submit certain suggestions' as summar ized In the British note.

The contract for construction of the grandstand at the high school athletic field was awarded to narhsm Brothers of Salem Friday morning following a conference of the school directors with the school architect, Lyle Bartholo mew: The figure accepted was $7895, - When the bids were opened last Tuesday night, the lowest submit ted was $11,300, and in order-to bring the construction cost within the range of the original estimate, the architect went over the plans again, with the result that 50 feet was cut off the length of the grandstand, the front fence and handball courts' were eliminated. and the seats will be of plank con struction similar to those In use at the O.

Ore.. Sept. 28. (AP)-Empbasls on equalization and central control of assessments wilt ba the heart of the recommen dations which the property tax re lief commission will submit to the legislature. This was decided late today and is the policy the committee will pursue. The j committee decided, too, to limit its tax code to 10 or 12 ideas, believing that the small er the number of measures pro posed for property rellfe, the bet ter chance there will be for the program to be adopted. As the Income tax will be voted on in tha November election, the committee decided today not to discuss the proposition until It is learned what the people think of the income bill In the election. The majority of the committee favors the income tax in principle, but most of the members want a prop erty off-set. If the bill is approved by the people there will be no oc casion for the committee to take further notice, while if the bill is defeated,, the subject can be dis cussed by the committee and var ious styles of income tax studied. One of the principal measures the committee will recommend to the legislature will be reconstruc tion of the State Tax commission, or rather,! a change in its person nel. .1' MPI E KENOSHA. Wis..
