The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon, Thnrsday Morning, October 3, 1929 ed out that the present difficul ty which faces Marion county is a strong argument for a change in state laws to prevent the legisla ture from putting into effect any enactment until after the succeed ing budget has been made up by the county. Such a stipulation would give the county a chance to look ahead in shaping new de mands on the taxpayers and would avoid such jackpots as Marion county now faces.

At present, the president pro claims the rates or refuses to act on the commission's findings. Simmons Proposes Amendment of Own Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking democrat on the finance committee, proposed the plan as a substitute for an amendment by Senator Smoot, re publican, Utah, chairman of the committee. The North Carolina senator had accepted an amendment to his plan suggested by Senator Norris and aimed to meet the objections raised by the president that con. gress could not legislate on single tariff Items without opening up the entire tariff law to change. It would restrict congress to ac tion on the item or items contain ed in tariff commission reports. The roll call showed 38 repub licans and' four democrats against the Simmons Substitute. The de mocrats are Senators Broussard, .and Ransdell, Louisiana, Fletcher, Florida, and Steck, Iowa. Sena tor Trammell, democrat, Florida, had been expected to vote against the minority plan, but was found with the coalition on the final lineup. Keen Interest Is Shown'ln Ballot Intense interest was manifest just before the final rote. All but five of the senate's ninety-five senators were In their seats. One senate seat from Pennsylvania Is vacant. Although only 89 voted, another senator was In his seat but was paired. The unusual slht of dozens of senators keep ing tab on the vote with their own rosters indicated the Importance attached to the result. Analyzing the vote, tariff ob servers found much material for speoulatlom Some said the oppo sition now could write any kind of tariff bill it pleased. Others though this could not happen since many senators have pointed out that they reserved the right to vote for or against Individual rates regardless of party affilia tion. In some quarters It has been ru mored that President Hoover would veto a bill minus the flex ible provisions. The dispute ov er the clause is not over, how ever, for the bill must go back to the house for adjustment of dif ferences. I?p?nors Found Mostly Without Foundation Although the house Republi cans were assumed to be pre pared to Insist on retention of the flexible principle favored by the president, few were In Washing ton tonight to give any authorita tive views. ; Tbe Democrats, however, were confident the Simmons proposal would prevail in the end. Repre sentative Garner of Texas, the It- 1- 1 J BnJ tly minority uuusw iduuci , imiu -"o Simmons plan, except for a few minor details, was similar to the recommittal motion he made pri or to passage of the bill by the house, and would command unit ed support of house Democrats. He also predicted it would gain acme Republican votes. If the president hopes to win in this contest with congress, indications are that he will have to depend on the house o insist on retention of the flexible provisions. Just as he did in the export debenture dis pute. The house finally decided that issue in the president's fa vor. The senate, by a margin of three votes, had twice overridden the president by placing the de benture in the farm bill. r. M. C. A. STARTS WINTER PROGRAM X.

"to drop all matters from a legal standpoint, such as any possible claim or charge or slander, black mail, extortion or any other claim in regard to the whole unpleasant misunderstanding." Robinson referred to the second document, which Mrs. Kennedy did not sign, as a "blackmail re lease," for which he was rebuked by Judge J. T. Ronald, but he per sisted, declaring "I don't see why we can't call a spade a spade and this, on its face, 13 a black mail release." Clark replied when questioned about the statement, "It was only one of several solutions possible If she'd adopted a Christian at titude, I wouldn't have been afraid of blackmail charges even if she didn't sign." Robinson introduced other let ters written by Clark to Mrs. Ken nedy and her companion. Miss Kay Burdick, shortly before he instituted the "heart balm" suit. One of them, which Clark admit ted writing on February 15, said in part "if you are willing (or your daughter either) to loan me a few hundred dollars at this stage of the unhappy affair, I will fade out of the picture." In another written to Miss Burdick, he said "I am willing to drop out of it all If I can have only a little help just a small loan."

A. last night to mark the opening of the fall and winter schedule of swimming and gym nasium classes for women. Most of those in attendance were en rolled in the classes. Mrs. P. W. Byrd. chairman of the physical committee of the Y W. C. A., presided over the ban quet, feature talk for which was made by George W. Hug. city school superintendent. Hug talked on health education, stressing the assertion that the individual shcmld be careful not to overdo the health fads which sweep the country front time to time. The mental health of the coun try is in an alarming condition, with the mentally ill presenting one of the greatest problems of society. Hag said. Far more U spent on earing for the mentally eick than on education of the mentally sound, he asserted. He also pointed to the excellent health work that Is being done In Marion county. Devotions were led by Miss Ni na McNary and Mrs. C. P. Bishop made brief remarks upon the ear ly work of the T. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. la Salem. Mrs. C. S. Hamilton, president of the Y. W. C.

The whole audience paid silent tribute to the mother portrayed by Ruth Chat- terton in Madame X, now showing at the Elsinore. It was a happy sflence that overpowered the audience. A feel ing that could not be reasoned with nor explained but only felt with the heart. The business man rubbed close to his eyes with a handkerchief after the closing scene and the girl who would have been a flapper a year ago, care fully wiped away tears. The moth er and father in the row ahead looked at each other and seemed to say, "She was a great woman." Lionel Barrymore has created a tribute to all motherhood In his direction of Madame X, the story of a mother who is turned from her dome, who is dragged to the depths of mental and spiritual torture, but who i3 still woman enough to offer her life that her son may still be proud of his family.

Disabled Veterans Receive Attention The delegates gave serious con sideration to their comrades whom events of 1917-1918 left torn in body and mind, pledging their sup port to 64 resolutions of the com mittee on rehabilitation, many of which sought liberalization of laws for the care of the World war's disabled, and for increased hospital facilities. It was to these unfortunate buddies that the Legionnaires de voted most of their time, and they were assured by Brigadier Gen eral Prank T. Hines, director of the United States Veterans' bu reau, that "the problem of the disabled is very near to the heart of President Hoover, and one to which he will give the greatest consideration." General Hines said It was the endeavor of the bureau to simplify the system of relief, and to give the benefit of the doubt to the veteran. Preparedness For Future Wars Is Recommended Sergeant Samuel Woodflll, hold er of the congressional medal of honor, and described by General Pershing as "the greatest hero of the American expeditionary for ces," saluted his comrades from the platform and talked to them about the need of preparedness against future wars.

Miller of Portland, told the members of the Salem Rotary club in an address Wednesday noon. This acquisition of 300,000 square miles of valuable territory, is more deserving of recognition through the building of a memo rial, than many other achieve ments which have been accorded more costly memorials, Mr. Miller said. The speaker made direct men tion of a recent editorial in The Statesman, saying that a museum and an auditorium, suggested In that editorial, were the things proposed to be included in the memorial building. The bill for a federal appropria tion of 125,000. to be matched by the state, will be reintroduced in the coming term by Senator McNary and Congressman Hawley, Mr. Miller said. His remarks were supplemented in a talk by Harvey G. Starkweather, who praised the "audacity" of the American citi zens In Oregon, of whom there were not more than 300 in 1843, in presuming to set op a govern ment over 800,000 square miles of territory, when there was a greater number of British subjetcs in the territory at the time.

After the Jury was sworn, two alternates, a man and a woman were selected and court adjourned until tomorrow morning. When court opened this morn ing seven women and four men were in the Jury box. Shortly shifts brought the balance In favor of the women by an eight to four ratio. Questioning of the Jurors throughout the day Indicated the defense desired to obtain Jurors who did not have sons or daugh ters of the approximate age of Miss Pringle. The Btate, to the contrary, found such jurors sat isfactory. Pantages' trio of lawyers de layed the opening of the morning session by a half hour's confer ence with Judge Charles Fricke, attended by Fitts and one of his prosecution aides, Robert T?. Stew art, no court action resulted from the conference and Fitts dismiss ed the matter with an explanation that it was merely over "technical procedure." Defense Attorneys W. L Gilbert and Joseph Ford in ferred that permission had been sought forthe calling of certain defense witnesses. These were un derstood to have been ones whom they had Intended calling to at tack Miss Pringle's character. These witnesses were barred yes terday as the result of the Btate obtaining the dismissal of a sec ond count against Pantages, in which forcible attack had been charged. Both Pantages sons, Rodney and Lloyd, accompanied the gray haired and light built man t o court. Alongside the sons sat Dr. Lewis Pringle, father of the ac cusing girl during the afternoon session.

DUNKLEY Associated Press Sports Writer CHICAGO, Oct. 2 (AP) Jack Dempsey, greatest drawing card in the history of boxing, failed to completely pack 'em in, in his first promotional venture in historic coliseum tonight, but the Manassa mauler, who always gave the best he had when la the ring, presented a card of bouts that left the crowd standing on its head. In the principal event Jackie Fields of Los Angeles, world's welterweight champion, won the verdict over Vlnce Dnndee of Bal timore, brother of the fighter from whom Fields won the title only a few weeks ago In a ten round bout that was a sizxler from start to finish. Fields started out as if he would defeat Vines easily as he did his brother Joe, but before the ten rounds were over. Fields was forced to extend himself to the limit to retain the advantage he had gained in the early part of the contest. Knocked to the floor for the count of nine In the sixth round, Dnndee picked himself ont of the resin, and opened up with a rally that continued until the finish of the eighth. Dundee made his best showing in the seventh, eighth and tenth rounds. He stood toe to toe with the champ and traded punch for punch, while the crowd was In a frensy of excitement. Fields left the ring with the offi cial verdict, but Dundee won the cheers of the crowd. Pastor Goes to Seattle Meeting SILVERTON, Oct. 2 (Special) Rev. and Mrs. L. H.

Drastic Cuts Preferred To Special Election There is little doubt, from ten or of Judge Slegmund's state ments yesterday, that faced with calling a special election or paring moneys asked by other depart ments, the latter procedure will be taken. The judge expressed himself as decidedly against a special election, which itself costs money. Slegmund recalled that when the county exceeded a six per cent limitation about seven years ago without recourse to a special election, it was later ne cessary to issue rebates of be tween $7,000 and 18,000, the amount over the limit Reduc tion of tuition, salary of county employes, is out of the question, the Judge believes, and likewise thinks it will be impossible to cut on the road appropriations in fact, he found offhand no place where a slice will be appreciated.
