Important Issues to
Come up at Meet
t Here Today
Entire Personnel now
: Meier - Selected;
. i Policies Eyed
The ; volcanic' state highway com-
mission welch has been threaten
lag to erupt for many weeks burst
forth I suddenly yesterday when
Hf B.i van Duzer, for eight and
one-half years commission mem
ber and for more than four years
its chairman, announced his res
ignation. Gorernor Julius L
Meier concurrently announced; the
appointment of J. C. Ainsworth.
chairman of the board of direct
ors of the United States National
Bank In Portland as his successor.
Thus when the state highway
commission convenes here this
morning, It will have an entirely
different personnel than the one
which confronted Governor Meier
when he went Into office last
January. William Hanley two
months ago replaced M. A. Lynch,
Norblad appointee from Redmond
and Charles K. -Spauldlng in
March replaced William C. Gates
of Medford, Patterson appointee.
Yesterday's action resulted from
an extended and open dissentlon
which had arisen between Chair
man VanDuzer and Commissioner
Spauldlng, the latter; having-begun
his attack in a criticism on
engineering methods : utilized by
the highway department and fol
lowed It with a demand that the
flection of the chairman be made

In recent weeks when the short
cut road- to .the coast from Port
land became, a matter of statewide
attention, Spauldlng 4 quickly" an-,
Bounced his support of. the pro
ject and at the last highway meet
ing openly announced he was
ready to decide then and there
upon the road. Chairman VanDu
ser said; he wished time to consid
er the project and Hanley sided
with him. Later in the month
Spauldlng criticized the commis
sioners for delaying ' their deci
sion, n ;i I
"I think I ara entitled to a rest.
My chief reason was that my per
sonal business is demanding so
much of my time. : Anyone who
knows anything about the lumber
marjeet will understand. After
eight years on the- commission, I
feel that I should retire to give
more attention to my personal af
fairs. I shall always maintain my
Interest in the welfare of the
highway program, and will cher
ish a rich memory of the fine men
with whom i I ' have worked to
carry It forward," said Mr. Van
Duzer yesterday following his res
ignation. i i
"Let me say that the governor
Is to be congratulated on the nam
ing of so able a man to the com
mission as J. C. Ainsworth, and
the state is to be congratulated
on his acceptance of that respon
sibility. It was an admirable se
lection," VanDuzer said.

the terse comment made by Gov

was asked to comment on the ap
pointment I of Mr. Ainsworth -on
the highway commission.

very partjof Oregon both for his
business and civic activities. He

Wide Open Gambling Said
To Have Flourished
In Cicero,
in.
Witnesses Fail to Connect
Gang Chief Definitely
With "Joints"
CHICAGO. Oct. 7 (AP) The
wide open gambling houses of Ci
cero during the days when Al Ca
pons made the village his subur
ban stronghold, were discussed at
length today In the gang leader's
trial in federal court Ion charges
of income tax evasion. I
But when the day's session was
finished, not one witness had said
definitely, in reply to persistent
questions from the prosecution,
that Capone owned or received
profits from the gambling houses,
i Even the government's "star
witness" for the day, Leslie H.
Shumway, an employe of what
were known as "Capone joints" in
Cicero, would not say definitely.
He testified, that any of the prof
its from the whirring roulette
wheels, the rattling dice games
and the horse racing bets found
their way into Capone's pockets.
Raid by Citizen
Group Is Related
The other government witness
es Introduced today, the second
day of the trial, were the Rev.
Henry C. Hooyer of Irving, 111.,
Chester Bragg, a life insurance
salesman of Berwyn, 111.; David
Morgan of Warm Springs, 111.;
members of the West! Suburban
Ministers and Citizens association
which raided the subway.
Bragg was assigned; to guard
the door during the raid, he said
and Capone "came on the run
from somewhere nearby and be
gan pushing on the door to get
In."
"I asked him 'what do you
think this is, a party?' and he re
plied, 'I'm the owner of this
place Bragg testified.
Capone followed the raiders to
the gaming rooms, Bragg said, I
and from there on thej story was
taken up by the Rev. Hoover.
Raiders Beaten - ; I
As Aftermath
Capone came into the gaming
room, the minister said, and de
manded of him: ,
"What are you always picking
on me for? Can't I run a place In
Cicero? Tou pulled the last raid
that you're going to pull on me!"
Incidentally, both Bragg and
Morgan testified that soon after
the raid, they were beaten severe
ly. "A thousand men Jumped on
me," Morgan recounted, "pushed
my nose over to my left ear and
beat me until I thought I'd die."
PLAN OF EXTENDING
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 (AP)
President Hoover is consider
ing whether the international
moratorium should be extended
beyond -next June, and has found
powerful opposition to It in con
gress, -y
The subject will be discussed
with Premier Laval of France,
when he comes to Washington
late this , month, and indications
are Mr. Hoover will postpone any
decision for several weeks.
The bankers on whom the pre
sident must depend for carrying
his new credits program into
operation Include some of the
most insistent advocates for an
extension or for outright cancel
lation of the war debts. Today
the American Bankers associa
tion, meeting at Atlantlo L City
adopted a resolution urging ex
tension. : I
Mr. Hoover also has before him
a continuing evidence j of the . fi
nancial troubles of the European
nations. The plea of Premier
MacDonald of Great Britain for
stability and national! unity, in
today's election' manifesto, was
read at the White House with In

dispatch saying that Mi Laval ex
pressed satisfaction that the debts
would be discussed during his vis
it here.

ASSESSMENT CUTS
Plea of Woodburn Vicinity
Delegation Reduced as
Difficulties Noted
A generaj reduction of farm
property assessment of 60 per
cent on lands adjoining the city
of Woodburn was later reduced to
a request for a 2ft per cent cut
and then to a request for a 10 per
cent cut by a delegation which
appeared yesterday morning be
fore the county board of equaliza
tion here. i
The board pointed out that its
only authority was to equalize
taxes between certain specific
pieces of property and not be
tween entire groups of property
and thus it lacked Jurisdiction in
the latter the petitioners asked.
Peter J. Gules represented the
farmers In the petitioning area
which cover! five square miles of
territory.
Gllles said farmers faced a col
lapse unless something was done.
We farmers j can't go on paying
taxes forever without anything to
pay them with," Gllles declared.
State Tax Commissioner Gal
loway, present at the meeting, ad
mitted the general need for tax
adjustment and reassessment or
farms but declared the state had
no basis available for such read
justment. He said a basis existed
four or five! years ago.
A. A. Selader, chief appraiser
of the tax commission, said a 20
per cent reduction on tilable
lands would ! mean a reduction of
$10,000,000 In assessed valuation,
which would , work an Injustice
against squally tax burdened
property, equally hard hit by loss
of Income.
