FOUNDED 1651 CPtZPVTV.VIWTH YEAH Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, December IS, 1929 No,22t MILLION WILL BE CUT FROM STATE LEVIES Lowest Property Tax in 17 Years Authorized by Commission New Revenue Sources Allow Reduction Despite More. Money is Spent Slicing a cool million dollars of the state tax levy of last year, the state tax commission an nounced Saturday the tax require cients for the 1929 lery to be 'r.-iised in 1930 as $6,883,045.06. The previous year's lery was $7, 893,247. The new tax exclud ing the special levies authorized by the people, Is lower In the amount raised from property than any tax lery made by the state for 17 years. The levy required of Marion county will be I318.822.6S. as compared with I3S2.480.84 'the prerious year. The cut in the , state levy Is made possible by the enactment of- new tax laws and the levying of new taxes, the excise and in tangibles taxes. The commission estimates the receipts from these new taxes at $900,000 so they are able to cut the state levy but that amount and $100,000 more. Long Study Made By Tax Commission The determination of the tax levy has ; been before the tax commission for some weeks. It has had to estimate the probable ip-cipts from other sources in cluding the new taxes before de termining the levy. Of the total 1930 levy on (rop erty of $6,883,045.06 only $1. C75.473.0S Is levied for legisla tive appropriations. The remaind er of $5,209,572.01 represents the special taxes voted by the peo ple in excess of the six per cent limitation amendment for local elementary schools, market roads, higher eduction and aid of the world war veterans. As an Illustration of the mark ed reduction in the total state levy on property, including the elementary school tax for ,1120, It was pointed ont that in 1929 this levy In Multnomah county amounted to $2,875,273.09. For the year 1930 this is reduced to $2,603,810.90. The Marion coun ty lery for 1930 Is $318,822.65 as against $352,480.84 In 1929. The Lane county lavy for 1930 is $326,930.88 as compared with $371,645.64 in 1929.

TRAIL IS M LOST McALESTER, Okla.. Dec. 14. (AP) rWlth the trail of five es caped convicts from the state pen itentiary . lost at Krebs, a few miles east of here, hope dwindled tonight for Immediate capture of any of the fugitives. The prison ers fled late yesterday through a tunnel 22 feet long, dug under the north wall of the prison. From Krebs, where blood hounds lost the scent, the five men were believed to have made their getaway In a stolen truck. Pur suers came upon a wrecked truck near the Arkansas line, a short distance from Poteau, which at first was believed to be the stolen vehicle. The bodies of two negroes who had been killed in the wreck were found beneath the machine. The fugitive convicts were white men. It subsequently was estab lished that the truck was not the one stolen at Krebs. The tunnel, which led from the foot of an elevator shaft In a new Industrial building, under construction, was declared by prison authorities to represent the most elaborate escape plot ever devised at the institution. Digging of the passage was estimated to ),;.ve required weeks of patient toll. rails Old Third Oregon Holds Annual Reunion In City Members of the old Third Ore gon from aa far away as Grants Pass, Astoria and Tillamook trooped Into Salem Saturday to attend the annual reunion of the 162nd Infantry association, the first meeting of its kind ever held here.

Chinese Retreat aa Russians Advance The Chinese soldiery, said a dis patch from Manchuria to the Jap anese Rengo news agency, had withdrawn before the Russian advanced and formed a base at Mi entuho. in the Khingan moun tains, 120 kilometers southeast of Khallar.

OPERATOR KILLED Battle With Bandit Ends in Death for Frank Pool er of Seattle SEATTLE, Dec. 14. (AP) Frank Pooler, 47, service station operator, was shot and killed here tonight in a battle with a bandit in which both men had guns drawn. Pooler was shot through the heart and left shoulder and died instantly. While nearby res- dents reported a third shot, It apparently went wild, as no trace of the bullet could be found. Pool er's gun was 'not discharged, po lice reported. The struggle was observed through the windows of the sta tion by Jack Francis, a passing motorist. He said the men fought fiercely until the shots rang out, when Pooler dropped to the floor. Francis reported the accident to the police Immediately and police threw a cordon of officers around Cowen Park, into which the rob ber dashed after the robbery, but an intensive search proved futile. The gunman fled from the sta tion without obtaining any loot, although there were several hun dred dollars in the cash register and In a coat hanging on the wall. The station made a practice of keeping a large amount of cash on hand Saturday night to cash pay ehecks, nearby residents said. Two other service station hold ups in the vicinity ot Cowen Park were reported shortly after the Pooler shooting, each being entered by a lone gunman. At one place the robber obtained $112. While at the other the proprietor said he "talked the intruder out of it with a hard luck story." The description of the men differed in each instance, police said. . SLAYER SOUGHT SPOKANE. Dec. 14.

' HOOVER SENDS RED PARADERS E TO STAY 36 Communists are Released From Jail on Request Of President "Cheap Martyrdom" is De nied Radicals; New York ers Meet Trouble WASHINGTON. Dec. 14 (AP) President Hoover had St com munists released from Jail today alter tneir arrest during a demon stration in front of the White House, making the position that they should be "sent to their par ents'' instead of granting them 'the favor of cheap martyrdom." His action introduced some thing new into the handling of such spasmodic demonstrations which occur in front of the White House, the capitol and foreign embassies. There have been num bers of such In recent years, es pecially after questions in connec tion with foreign policies had been given unusual attention. These invariably ve been or derly, as was the one today, but heretofore those arrested in front of the White House have gener ally been required to post bond for their release. Two and Half Honrs Of Martyrdom Enjoyed ine young men ana women naa spent two and one half hours in various police stations and the house of detention before Captain P. Carroll, of the park police, received the request for their re lease from the White House. They were charged with parad ing without a permit. The White House Issued the following statement: "The president considers that the misguided youths calling themselves communists who have been arrested for demonstrating In front of the executive offices should be released and sent to their parents. "He does not believe that any spch discourtesy seriously endan gers the republic and that a night in jail is only doing them .the fa vor of cheap martyrd'om." Government Policies Attacked With Placards The arrests were made at 2:30 p.m., when 14 girls and 22 young men gathered at the west gate of the White House grounds, carry ing placards which bore such phrases as "defend the rioting masses of Haiti against American limpsrallsm," and "the Kellogg pact is Wall street's declaration of war." The signs were confiscated without resistance and five police men walked the demonstrators ov er the half mile to the District of Columbia building without distur bance. On the way to the district build ing, the communists sang "Wave the Scarlet Banner." The proces sion was orderly. NEW YORK. Dec. 14 (AP) Fourteen men and women were arrested and two policemen were Injured today in two demonstra tions staged by communists who carried banners applauding the Haltien revolt. After a parade had been broken In front of the city hall by a charge of mounted policemen and reserves, the communists retreat ed to Union square to start their demonstrations anew, but bolted and fled Into the safety of their own building, the Workers' Cen- i - (Concluded on Pae 15, Column C.)

(AP) The Columbia highway has an excellent chance of becom ing the western end of the At-lantlc-Yellowstone-Paclflc high way, Robert 8. Erb, president of the Lewis and Clark Memorial as sociation, who was In Portland this week from Lewiston, said. In his opinion, use ot the Gorge route to Portland and Astoria would virtually be assured if the fed eral government should build a desired 90-mile length of highway through Lolo pass. The matter baa ben agitated for a long period. 1 Lives Again K r- After his face had taken on the ashen color of death, his heart ac tion silent, George Austin, forty six years old. of Rochester, N.

UPON VVILLAMETTE Recent Rise in River Allows Steamers to Run From Portland Here Steamboat service on the Wil lamette river has been resumed and daily service will probably be in order about the middle of this week, according to predictions made by A. S Johnson of the Sa lem Navigation company. The Northwestern has made one round trip and will dock here again today. Repairs on the Stranger are about completed and it will probably be put back on the schedule this week. As a result of Friday night's heavy rain, the river had risen to a point close to six feet above nor mal Saturday night, and will probably continue to rise. High water will not stop nav igation unless an extreme flood stage Is reached. The boats will be unable to come up if the level at Oregon City reaches 11.5 feet, at which time it would be about 20 feet here. At that level, It Is impossible to use the locks. Sufficient freight is available to keep the steamers running dally through the winter. Had it not been for the unprecedented low water which prevented navl gatlon for several weeks recent ly, the boats would have been operated steadily through the year. 'S Selection of an alderman to represent the seventh ward la place ot Dr. Carl E. Miller, who declined to serve after being elect ed at the last meeting, will be one of the Important matters coming before the city council Monday night. So far there has been no indication as to who will be chos en, although some mention has been made of E. A. Rhoten, who was supported by a petition pre sented at the previous meeting. Another question of widespread interest which will come up Mon day night is that of designating Fairgrounds Road, and Hood street from Fairgrounds Road to Droadway or on to Commercial, as a through street. Considerable objection to this proposal has developed in the fifth ward, which Is most vitally concerned, although this objec tion centers not along the streets mentioned but in the Hollywood business district, which fears the diversion of highway traffic from Capitol street. It had been expected that the matter of reimbursements to the bridge fund would come up at this meeting, but the unofficial audit ot expenditures out of this fund has not been completed and it will probably not be discussed. Busy Time Is Being Planned Chamber Meet , Election ot officers for the com ing year, music by the Willamette university quartet and an address on "Outdoor Illumination" spon sored by the Salem Ad club, will be features of the Salem chamber ot commerce luncheon Monday noon. The speaker will be Jay Groo, illumination engineer and super intendent ot the lighting sales de partment of the P. E. P. company, who will present motion pictures showing the Christmas illumina tion In Portland a year ago. Interest in the election centers chiefly about the choice of a pres ident, . candidates being J. N. Chambers, Fred E. Tiffany and Otto J. Wilson, although close contests are in sight for nearly all of the places on the board of directors. 4'- -ri. , N HESIIffl MLLER 11 COUNCIL IWEf ED POWER PLANT . M COMPANY New Generating System is Installed at Cost of About $30,000 Low Fall Type Water Wheel Proves Successful in Complete Tests Completion of the water wheel and generating system which take the place of the antiquated rope drive In operating the pumps of the Oregon-Washington Water Service company in Salem, was announced by J. T. Delaney, vlee president, Saturday after the sys tem had ben thoroughly tested for three days and proved to be in good working order. Installation of this system cost approximately $30,000 and was necessitated by the construction of the South Liberty street fill. hlch crossed at the level of the old rope drive. However, In ad dition to operating the pumps, the new system also provides electric ity for lighting the company's of fice and other buildings, and will operate the filtration plant whe it is built. 150 Horsepower I Generated by System The water wheel is or tne "low fall" type and Is operated by the flow of South Mill creek. The sys tem generates 150 horsepower. The wheel and generator are situ ated just north of the P. E. P. company plant. The water com pany has a tie-in with the power company's electric lines, so power from that source may be used if the new generating system falls to work at any time. The old system did not Include a generator, me manna rope op erating the pumps direct. The water company In cooper ation with the Oregon Pulp and Paper company and the Kay Woolen Mills has had a crew of men at work tor several days re cently removing debris from the mill race between Church and Cottage streets to permit of free flow and prevent any flooding In cident to the present surplus of water. Tons of metal cans and other waste material, dropped in the millrace by private individ uals, have been removed. ' Debris Removed From Stream Near Bridge The water company has also had a considerable amount of debris removed from the stream near the Liberty street bridge. At present the property back of the company's offices Is being cleared In preparation for con struction of the filtration plant, which Is expected to start shortly after the .first of the year. The company's second well, in Kay addition, has been completed and tests show the water to be ex cellent, and similar to that found In the first well on Madison street. Equipment for the pump-, Ing plant has been ordered and a call for bids on construction is sued. HARRY SCOn PIE L. L. Mulkey. 1195 Shipping street, was the winner of the bicycle offered by Harry W.

Hearings To Monday In Concluding the testimony of Thomas Mannix in the proceed ings for his own disbarment, two additional witnesses were called td the stand before the court ad journed at noon for the week end. Hearings will be resumed Monday morning at 9:30 for the second week of the Joseph. and Mannix cases. The Joseph case was concluded Thursday and the Mannix case taken up Friday. Both cases go over much of the same material, but the evidence must be presented in each cause. The two witnesses called lust before adjournment were' to sub stantiate charges that Mannix ls- suea wonrueas enecks and so should be disbarred. F. C. Lynch said he had held fire checks for 110 each. Ha brought suit to col- mm mm Full Sum Set Aside For Clinic County Court to Allow $8,000 Needed for HealthTJnit Program Reiumet Its Forward Movement In This Area The health program as outlined by the eounty child health demon stration for the year 1930 will be carried forward. Word to that ef fect was given yesterday by the county court with announcement that the $8,000 budget proposed by Dr. Estella Ford Warner, di rector of the demonstratiewy . would be Included in the county budget. The court's proposal to meet the health budget asked came a complete reversal on Its former stand that the county had done all It could for the health pro gram when it raised the appropri ation for this item 1160, or to $. 210, and to threats to withdraw from the county health unit con tributed to also by the Salea schools and the Salem city coun cil. Taxes Required by State to lie Lower Action of the county court in raising the health fund was said by members of thp court to be due to word received by County Clerk Boyer from the state tax commis sion that the Marion county taa for 1930 will be $33,658.19 than estimated by the budget com mittee In the tentative budget. The county tax to the state will be $318,822.65 Instead of $3&2y 480.84. When the county court became aware of this, it called the budget committee together Saturday, anl all members agreed that the health aproprlation should be raised. The court also called Dr. Warner in for conference Satur day morning. The court's $S000 promise for health work also came following the decision of the Marion county public health association to work through rural communities to seek an Increase In the expendi ture from the court, and in res olutions of that body to uphold the work of the Commonwealth Fund, which set up the demon stration here. Statesman Sole Backer Of Health Demonstration Throughout the discussion of health expenditures for the coun ty precipitated following the an nouncement of the annual budget and its failure to Include the sums asked for health work. The Statesman has been the only pa per to make a fight for the full budget. With the new appropriation of the court, Dr. Warner said yes terday afternoon that the Com monwealth Fund would carry out its subsidy to health work in the county, as planned before the dif ficulty over finances prompted it to withdraw the county's share ot the subsidy unless the full $8,049 was given. This means that the New York foundation will expend $12,000 for health work in Salem and Marion county next year. Appropriation Not to Be Increased Next Vear Members of the county court said yesterday, following allow ance of the additional $l,79w, that they would not raise the health appropriation above this figure next year. They also ex pressed desire that the three con tributing agencies sit together in forming the 1931 health appro priation. At the end of this month, the Commonwealth Fund ends It five year period of, service in Marion county, end except for the subsidy, will have nothing to say as to tt methods or manner in which fu ture health appropriations are made, although the end to which It has been building in the past five years has been to make Mar ion eounty health program ever more effective.; Be Resumed .
