committeewoman from Virginia,
- which said that "we must save the

uthenlc or a forgery, it does vio
lence to every instinct that I poss
ess. I resent and repudiate It.
Position Repeated
- "Such an attitude is entirely op
posed to every principle of the
republican party. I made my posi-
i tion clear in my acceptance speech
j when I said:
"In this land, dedicated to tol
erance, we still find outbreaks of
Intolerance. I came of Quaker
stock. My ancestors were perse
cuted for their beliefs. Here they
ought and found religious free
dom. By blood and conviction I
stand for religious, tolerance both
In act and in spirit- The glory of
our Ameriean ideals is the right
of every man to worship God ac
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience.'

They think of
Hunters Who Shoot
First and Think
Later on.
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

at a deer every time they hear

who try to race with every train

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

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.' "

Franco - British Agreement
Not Acceptable by This
Country
Washington Government Re
fuses to Agree to Ex
tension of Treaty
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28
(AP) A blunt and critical rejec
tion of the Franco-British Naval
agreement has been transmitted
to London and Paris by the United
States government.
"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

H. S. Grandstand
Contract Is ' Let
To Barham Brbs.
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. A. C. grandstand Instead
of patterned after those at the
Multnomah stadium.
The plumbing contract has not

Tax Commission
PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 28.
(AP)-Empbasls on equalization

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
