SEVENTY-NINTH YEAR, NO.
No Compromise Now in Sight
In Controvresy Over
Levies In County
Long Conferences Between
Officials and Attor
neys Fruitless
Marlon county's efforts to sal
vage any more than 23.94 per
cent of the taxes levied against
the six national banks for the
years 1926. 1927 and 1928 ap
peared to have met complete de
feat when the county court stated
this week that Its offer to com
promise for a 35 per cent payment
had been withdrawn.
The rourt had Dreviously been
approached by representatives of
the eix banks askUtvthat the
amounts already paid: be accepted
as satisfaction of the county's
claims, with the six banks dis
tributing among themselves the
pro ratio amount each was to pay.
As the situation now stands some
banks have paid more than 50
per cent of their taxes for the
three years while at least one of
the national banks has- not paid
any tax for tl.e three-year period.
Lengthy Sparring
Comes To Naught
For several weeks the court
and the banks sparred through
several conferences which make
no headway in settling the im
passe. The banks held that the
23 94 per -cent already paid was
Just that much more In the cof
fers of the county treasury than
the law would require while the
court maintained that 35 per cent
represented only the amount al
ready paid out for out-of-county
taxes during the three years.
As the matter now stands, the
court Is powerless to act Blnce a
leading case has already estab
lished the point that nationa.1
banks cannot be taxed In Oregon
on their capital stock inasmuch as
the tax is considered illegal be
cause competing capital escapes
all levies. If the court would de
mand payment of the national
banks it feels assured that its ef
forts would only lead to unfavor
able decision such as was handed
down in the leading case.
State Banks May
Also Ask Rebate
Whether the state banks of
Marlon county will come Into the
county court and ask for a re
mission o f their taxes is not
known. The county court of Clat
sop county settled with two As
toria state banks on the same bas
is as it settled with the national
banks declaring that it was not
fair to penalize competing finan
cial institutions by the levy and
collection of a tax on one without
the levy of a tax on the other.
The question logically arising
concerns the right of the county
court to permit state banks not
to pay their taxejwithout an at
tempt through litigation being
made to compe 'them to contri
ute to the tax collector in tull for
the amount levied against them.
Until a test case is made, there is
no guidance for the court in re
mitting taxes on state banks any
more than in remitting taxes on
any other corporation.

HER COURT TODAY
Helen Wilis and 15 Other
American Girls Will
Be Presented
LONDON. May 8 (AP) For
a brief hour tomorrow, and an
other on Friday. London's social
season will be at its height as deb
utantes from all parts of the
world are presented to the first
two courts at Buckingham palace.
Months of fittings at dressmak
ers, weeks of grooming at the
hands of hairdressers and taking
of lessons from the mistress of
ceremonies at court have initiated
the young women into all the mys
teries and details of presentation
at court.
For one must have the right
style of gown, train and head
dress. Long hair must be coiled
and bobbed hair padded to hold
the ceremonial feathers. And
above all one must be expert in
the almost obsolete art of the curt,
sy.
For the first time the queen of
England will hold the court alone
and the debutants therefore will
have only one curtsey to make.
The Prince of Wales will occupy a
place subordinate to throne and
Queen Mary will receive In soli
tary state because of the king's
illness.
Most of the girls to be present
ed plan to spend the two hours
before being ushered into the
throne room in their automobiles
on the mall outside the palace.
There they will while away the
time with friends at rubbers of
bridges or in conversation.
Helen Wills. American tennis
star, is attracting the greatest at
tention among the 16 American
girls. The serious-faced young
star went calmly about her daily
tennis games until the eve of her
presentation.
Governor Is
Not Certain
Of Running
Governor Patterson made 1 1
plain here Wednesday that he has
not yet determined whether he
will be a candidate for re-election
at the republican primary election
next May. A newspaper dispatch
from Medford quoted the gover

to seek a second term.
More than a dozen persons were
waiting in the executive depart
ment when Governor Patterson re
turned to his desk this morning
after a week's absence. He pre
sided at a meeting of the state
bonus commission, attended other
meetings and held a large number
of private conferences during the

Pershing's Clash With High
French Authorities Now

WASHINGTON, May 8 (AP)
On August 30, 1918, Marshal
Foch faced General Pershing In
France and demanded:
"Do you wish to go into bat
tle?" "Most assuredly," the American
commander replied calmly, "but
as an American army."
Foch objected that it would
take a month to complete such an
army.
"Give me a sector anywhere you
decide," declared Pershing, "and
I will take it over at once."
This historic scene is pictured
vividly in a narrative off the gov
ernment presses today, which for
the first time gives an official ac
count of how it was decided that
a million Americans would enter
the Argonne as an American ar
my, not as French reinforcements.
Iocunient Prepared
By Arniy War College
Headed "The Genesis of the
American First Army," the docu
ment was prepared by historical
section of the army war college.
The narrative leading up to the
climactic meeting between the
French and American command
ers recounts in detail from hereto
fore unpublished records Persh
ing's long battle against allied de
mands for American troops as re.
placements in their own armies.
Its publication led army officers
to recall an interview with Mar
shal Foch published ill Paris after
his death, in which the French
commander was quoted as having
said Premier Clemenceau had con
sidered that Pershing's efforts to
build up an autonomous army was
preventing the Americans from
giving the aid they should have
given the allied cause as a whole.
"The Tiger" was said to have ac
cused General Pershing of being
too stubborn.

SENATE DEFIES
E
Debenture Clause Retained
Despite Hoover's Ex
pressed Opposition
Defeat in Lower House Now
Anticipated Resulting
in Lengthy Session
WASHINGTON. May 8. (AP)
Despite President Hoover's em.
piratically expressed objections,
the senate voted 47 to 44 today to
retain the export debenture plan
in Its farm relief bill.
Thirteen republican independ.
ents joined an almost solid demo
cratic vote in defeating an attempt
by administration forces to elim
inate the disputed provision.
The bill, already passed by the
house, does not provide for deben
tures, and Inclusion of the plan in
the senate measure was held by
its opponents tonight to compli
cate enactment of farm relief leg
islation greatly. Republican lead
ers contended the house would re
ject the provision overwhelmingly,
especially in view of the presi
dent's position.
Extended Session
Now In Prospect
They were confident that It
would be eliminated ultimately by
the conference committee of sen
ate and house members which
must adjust differences between
the two measures, but were plain
ly concerned over the time
it might take to settle the contro
versy. The senate has yet to vote
on the farm bill Itself.
Only two democrats left their
party line-up to join with adminis
tration republicans in the elimina
tion move. They were Wagner of
New York and Ransdell of Louis
iana. Two other democrats, Walsh of
Massachusetts and King of Utah
were "paired" with Senators favoring-the
plan, Shipstead, farmer
labor, Minnesota, and Kendrlck,
democrat, Wyoming both of whom
are ill in hospitals. Among the re
publicans who disregarded the
wishes of the president were Bo
rah of Idaho and Brookhart of
Iowa, who were leading campaign
ers for Mr. Hoover prior to the re
cent election.
Hoover's Letter Is
Read by Bingham
Just before the roll call was be
gun. Senator Bingham, republican,
Connecticut read from the letter
of the president to Chairman Mc
Nary of the senate agriculture
committee listing ten reasons why
the executive opposed the deben
ture plan.
"I think it is well for the record
to show at this point." he said,
"the objections the president has
to the proposition we are about to
vote upon."
The administration forces were
doomed to be defeated by one vote
even though Senators Walsh and
King had declined to pair with the
two absent members. benator
Walsh had a clerk read a letter
from Senator Shipstead In which
the Minnesota member said he
was never so desirous of voting on
a proposal and urged Walsh to
pair so he would not be "required
to further impair my health by
being present."

DEMURRER EUED
III INJUNCTION SUIT
"Expense" Grab By Solons
Threshed Out In Circuit
Court Wednesday
The constitutional provision re
lating to the compensation that
shall be received by legislators.
with particular reference to the
word "pay," entered prominently
yesterday into the arguments of
attorneys in the suit filed by W.
W. A. Jones to restrain members
of the 1929 legislature from col
lecting $5 per day expense money.
Payment of the expense money
was authorized in a resolution
adopted by the legislature during
the closing days of the session.
Before the resolution was filed
with the state department, the re
straining order was issued and
served on both the secretary of
state and state treasurer.
Lawrence T. Harris, of counsel
for the legislators, said the prin-1
cipal question before the court
was whether the lecislature nad
authority to adopt the resolution.
He argued that any measure ap
proved by the legislature and la
ter questioned in the courts was
presumed to be valid, and could
be set aside only when It was
found to conflict with the consti
tution. Attorney Ross, representing Mr.
Jones, held that the constitution
is an instrument of limitation and
that the resolution authorizing the
expense money to legislators was
a violation of the constitutional
provision fixing the pay of the
senators and representatives at 1 3
per day.

BERLIN, May 8. (AP) Red
shrouds on the coffins, red rib
bons on funeral wreaths and red
banners and arm bands in the pro
cession today marked the Com
munist demonstration at the fu
neral of three victims of the May
day rioting in this city. The rib
bons on the wreaths almost uni
formly bore the inscription:
"Revenge for the heroes of the
bloody May day of 1929."
Only the bodies of three of the

planned for burial of a score or
more of the victims in Friedrichs

The police, against whom the
dead had bought, were not in evi

given free rein by the government
which leaders of the Reds had
pledged themselves to overthrow.
Ernst Thaemann, Communist

said:
"On these graves of our dead
we swear to carry through the

Crowded Courtroom
KEY WEST, Fla., May 8
(AP) Congressman M. Alfred
Michaelson of the seventh Illinois
district, Chicago, was acquitted by
a jury in federal court here late
tonight of charges of prohibition
law violation by smuggling and
transporting liquor into this coun
try from Cuba in baggage.
The jury was out four hours
and ten minutes, having retired at
8:50 o'clock and returned t 1
o'clock this morning.
A round of applause from the
spectators greeted the anuoum-e-ment
of the verdict.

Found On Both Counts
The Jury found the congress
man not guilty on both counts in
the indictments. On count charg
ed importation of liquor into this
country from Cuba, on January 2,
1928. in baggage passed through
Key West customs under courtesy
of port. The otuer count charged
he transported liquor to Jackson
ville. . "I am very happy." said Con
gressman Michaelson, "but I have
nothing to say except that the ver
dict bore out my original state
ment." It was understood the jury took
about ten ballots before reaching
its decision.
Mrs. Michaelson, who has at
tended the court session with her
husband since his trial got under
way, was not in the court room
when the verdict was read, as he
retired to her rooms at a hotel.
Mr. Michaelson left immediately
to inform her of the verdict.
Trunks Weren't His
Michaelson Asserts
Congressman Michaelson tes
tified late today that only three
of the six trunks he brought in
belonged to him, and declared be

contained liquor.

his brother in law, Walter
Gramm, a Chicago coal dealer, he
declared, and Gramm testified to
the same effect. . i
Asked whether any of his
trunks contained liquor, Gram in
refused to answer, saying be
would stand on his constitutional
rights.

defense rested and a night session
was called by Judge Halsttd JL.
Ritter. He denied a defense mo
tion for an instructed verdict of
not guilty.
