April 16. (AP) The message of President Hoover spurred the senate and house agricultural committees into formal action today with the sin gle aim of bringing definite legis lative proposals for farm relief before the new congress. Both committees spent the af ternoon considering the legisla tion. The new farm bill was tamped as official by the house committee and approved by a vote of 19 to 2.

The senate committee, however, till was undecided whether the export debenture plan would be written into the McNary bill. The senators tentatively approved the bill, but at the same time had worked out the draft of a section which would include the export debenture plan and Senator Mc Nary, of Oregon, chairman of the committee, said he had gained the Impression that a majority of members of the committee fav ored the plan. Although regarding themselves as greatly in the minority", mem bers of the house committee who failed in an attempt to have the debenture plan incorporated in the new farm bill were studying the possibility of bringing the fight to the floor. Representative Jones, ffemocrat, Texas, said he was considering such a step, but was uncertain whether the parlia mentary procedure would permit vote.

Gentlemen, there are only two- things wrong with - j Salem. The city has 'terrible' water but this can be readily rem edied. The second fault Is the fact that your community is not suffi ciently sold on Itself. Discussing "Community Build Ing." Perry B. Armold, sales coun sellor, went on to tell members of the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon that advertising for a community was fully as essential as advertis ing for a business. Advertising Money Said Well Expended Merchants expect to spend from one to four per cent of their gross business each year advertis ing. Armold said. Surely a com munity should expend one-tenth of one per cent. Marion county, doing an annual business of not less than J75.000.000 could rea sonably expend $75,000 on ad vertising the advantages of this county to the world." Armold said that Los Angeles this year would expend $1,500,- 000 in advertising and he pointed to the tripled population of that city in the past ten years as proof of the value of advertising. Admitting that he was a Call fornian by adoption, Armold re peatedly praised the northwest and its resources. "You folk have everything here," he empha sized, "while .down south we have to go great distances to get what we want Los Angeles, for ex ample brings its water more -than 250 miles." Once the northwest unbends and forgets its conservatism It is bound to go ahead by leaps and bounds in Armold s opinion. F PLAN FINAL DRIVE MEXICO CITY. April 16. (AP) General Juan A.

The other main federal army, commanded by General Lasaro Cardenas on the west coast, was reported concentrating at San Bias from which the insurgents had fled northward into Sonora. The rebel flight was precipitated by the feat of federal General Talamante who led a small body of cavalry around the city in an attempt te cut the railroad to the north. Reports .to headquarters here did not say whether he accom plished his mission but at least he so alarmed the Insurgents that an Immediate retreat was ordered General Talamante has now been ordered to return south and Join the main army at San Bias. Gen eral Ardenas expects to have his whole division concentrated here tomorrow for final repairs were being made to tbe railroad and the movement of troop trains was expected to be possible within twelve hours. The federal cruiser Progresso still was anchored in Guayam Bay with Its guns trained on the rail road Junction a few miles inland through which the retreating reb els- would have to pass If they kept to the railroad. The rebel generalissimo, Fran cisco Escobar was reported to be at Hermoslllo, capital of Sonora, after having failed to induce Ya qul Indians at Navojoa to Join the revolt. The morale of the rebel army was said to be so low that It was disintegrating, with small groups of soldiers making oft to Join the victorious federals.

Ore.. April 1 Thirty men and women were psot- ed at various points In Portland today circulating petitions involv ing the referendum on the per. sonal income tax bill enacted by the recent session of the leglsla ture. Sponsored by the Greater Ore gon association and George By lander, the petitions were meet ing with ready response, accord. Ing to backers.

Petitions are being circu lated In other sections of the state. Sixty signatures a day, Bylander said, would give Multnomah the quota sought by Friday.

The personal Income tax. was drawn together during the closing sessions of the legislature and was not a part of the property tax re lief commission's program.
