The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Thursday Morning, April II,
I11S ARE
FOUND INDIANS
Natives Have But 5 Per Cent
Spanish Blood, Local
Speaker Says
Traditions banded down by In
dians and Spanish ancestors,
"combining the worst features of
each," are responsible for the im
providence and lack of reliability
typical of the Mexican people. It
was declared by C. W. Noble of
Youngstown, O., owner of the
Skyline orchard here. In an ad
dress at the Rotary club luncheon
Wednesday.
Statistics to the contrary not
withstanding, the Mexican popu
lation is 95 per cent Indian, Mr.
- Noble estimated, and the nation's
heroes are the Indian leaders who
unsuccessfully fought to repel the
Spanish Invaders. From his In
dian ancestors, the Mexican ac
quired his total lack of foresight,
with the result that no native cap
ital has been amassed and na
tives stand fifth in the ownership
of property.
From the Spanish conquerors,
the Mexican adopted the theory
that wealth and power can be
gained only by trickery and ex
ploitation of the weak. Property
laws are such that investment U
discouraged although the nation
is literally a mine o r natural
wealth. Practically all native bus
iness ventures fail.
Mr. Noble described graphically
a typical home of the native Mex
ican, even of the better class. The
roof is of poles and mud, thier
are no windows and usually no
doors, no floor, and the house is
never of more than one room,
with an open fire on the ground,
th smnke rscaDlnz throueh the
crumbling walls; and no furniture
ejetptfjig a few boxes.

August Huckestein was in an
auto accident near the state fair
grounds early last month. E. R.
Bedwell was in the other car.
Came Huckestein to Justice
court and brought suit for dam
ages and costs against said Bed
well. Whereupon Bedwell retaliat
ed and -brought suit against the
plaintiff by alleging that he Huck
stein was in reality to blame for
the affair. Justice Small heard
the case Wednesday and decided
Bedwell was right whereupon
damages of $78.85 were awarded
the defendant who turned out to
be the plaintiff.

Three Farm Groups Agree
On Type of Agricultural
Aid Demanded of Congress
WASHINGTON, April 10,
(AP) Three national farm or
ganizations that long have been In
disagreement over farm relief
proposals united today in laying
before the house agricultural com
mittee four principles they be
lieve should be written- into "the
new agricultural measure.
The proposal made public by
Chairman Haugen of the com
mittee was in the form of a letter
signed by C. E. Huff, president of
the Farmers' Educational and Co
operative union; L. J. Taber, mas
ter of the National Grange, and
IS SPIRITED IFFI
LONDON. April 10. (AP)
How successfully Lloyd George has
forced the pace In the general
elections campaign, was empha
sized today by Viscount Gray of
Falloben who discussed before
the annual meeting of the liberal
party the pledge which the Welsh
statesman made to the electorate
that he would cure unemployment
within a year if the liberals were
returned to power.
The reaction of Viscount Grey
to this was awaited with keen in
terest because be spoke as head
of the liberal council, formed in
1927 by members of the party
who opposed Lloyd George's lead
ership.
The viscount bestowed his
blessing on the Welsh leader's slo
gans, but with some hesitations
manifest over the unemployment
program. He admitted the value
of the pledge as a stimulant to
public attention, but feared it
might) prove too vulnerable to
critics from other parties.
The viscount argued that the
danger of an attack on free trade
by the conservatives was the great
issue of the campaign and he
ranked as virtually equal to this
the risk of having an uncontrolled
labor majority in the commons to
make dangerous experiments in
socialism.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
( A P ) The American govern'
ment's reply to the formal repre
sentations of the Canadian gov
ernment over the sinking of the
rum-runner I'm Alone by a coast
guard patrol boat probably will
be handed to the Canadian min
ister late this week.
Secretary Stimson said today
that the department now is pre
paring a reply to the Canadian
representations. He contradicted
newspaper reports indicating that
the Canadian note was of a tru
culent nature. The representa
tions were temperate, the secre
tary said, and both the Canadian
note and the American reply will
be published after the reply has
been delivered to the Canadian
legation.
The French embassy, which be
came involved in the case after It
was found that the seaman who
lost his life In the sinking of the
vessel was French, has received
no instructions from the Paris
government on the case.

S. H. Thompson, president of the
American Farm Bureau federa
tion. Equality With
Others Demanded
The three declared that any
legislation which stopped short of
securing an American price for
the farmers' products in order to
maintain an American standard
of living "will not suffice.
"There are. In our opinion,"
they added, "four requisites which
must be met by any legislation to
permit it to qualify properly as
farm relief."
These requisites were a system
to make the tariff effective on all
crops so that surpluses would not
depress the domestic market to
world prices; provision for the
control and disposition of sur
pluses; a plan which automati
cally would check overproduc
tion; and farmer ownership and
control of marketing organiation
with due consideration to coopera
tives already established.
Foreign Competition
To Be Kept Out i
In addition, they said, the con
gress should have tariff adjust
ments at the special session to
keep foreign products from com
peting in the domestic market.
Meantime, a subcommittee in
the house still worked" at the task
of drafting the measure. The sen
ate agriculture committee also
went over the various proposal
that have been laid before it and
deferred definite action until a
later meeting, possibly tomorrow.
Senator Watson of Indiana, the
senate leader, after a visit to the
White House said that the prsei
dent's message would be received
on Tuesday and that on Wednes
day the farm relief bill would be
introduced in tfie senate, after
which it would adjourn until
Thursday.
Other Matters Brought
Up For Discussion
While the house committee is
holding all other matters In abey
ance until after it has disposed of
the general farm relief measure,
various other proposals of lesser
magnitude are being discussed in
formally. Representative Summers, re
publican, Washington, called at
the White House and discussed a
measure he has introduced de
signed to suppress unfair and
fraudulent practices he contends
have arisen in the marketing of
perishable commodities. This mea
sure, along with several others in
tended to benefit the farmers, will
command the attention of the
house committee after it has fin
ished with the general farm legis-

TAX PAYMEMTS
TO BtSPEEDED
Date of Delinquency is Set
at May 5, County Offi
cials Announce
With May 5, final day for the
payment without penalty of taxes
for the first half of 19 2 S less
than a month away, less than half
of the 14,000 statements custom
arily issued by the sheriff's office
are out and of the 6500 issued
many are unpaid.
Taxpayers should busy them
selves, according to tax officials,
in obtaining a detailed listing of
amounts due and these should be
paid as soon as possible to avoid
a last week rush at the court
house. Statements of taxes due will be
sent any person writing the office
and asking that such a statement
be sent or the listing may be ob
tained from the courthouse but
it has never been the practice of
the tax collectors to issue state
ments without request inasmuch
as much property changes hands
from year to year and thousands
of statements, If Issued, would be
incorrect.
Under the Oregon laws, taxes
unpaid when due have a penalty
of one per cent a month added
during their delinquency. Less
than five per cent of the 1927
taxes are uncollected and a con
slderable portion of this amount
consists of bank taxes which will
only be paid in part.
