"The people of Oregon have

Governor Meier declared Monday

visit to his office in the capitol
since August Illness which at
times was considered serious, has
kept him -confined to his room
in a Portland hotel much of the

the Empire Holding; company in an 1800,

Oregon.
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
WITH the Empire Holding
company duly organized
and incorporated, and a
permit to sell stock issued De
cember 10, 1930, by Corporation
Commissioner McCallister the
"great potentialities" of Oregon's
"vast" insurance company were
soon to be ready to be paraded be
fore an unsuspecting public.
As the foundation stone of the
promotion, the personal subscrip
tions of the officers and directors
were to be frequently referred to.
Each man on November 14, 1930,
had given a solemn oath that he
was the owner of 200 shares of
Empire Holding company stock
and that the "actual money to the
company" was $20,000 from each
individual. The Statesman today
prints a fascimile of the applica
tion made to McCallister for the
stock selling permit, an applica
tion which undobutedly was the
leading consideration for the
granting of the license.
Clancy Only One
Who Paid in Full
An audit made by Corporation
Commissioner Mott on July 31,
1931, fails to reveal that any one
of the five original officers and
directors, ever paid in excess of
$2000 towards his 200 shares of
stock.
Instead of $20,000, O. P. Cosh
ow paid $2000. "There is no pro
motion stock and no contracts,
agencies, or other property turn
ed in lieu of cash" read the appli
cation. In f.-ct, each and every
director was Immediately credit
ed by the Empire Holding com
pany with $3000 commission to
wards his $20,000 stock subscrip
tion, this commission evidently
representing the director's indi
vidual services in selling himself
the stock.
W. R. Adams, who had lived at
Med ford and who now lives in
Portland and who was to be the
general physician of the insur
ance companies, paid $2000 in
stead of $20,000, was credited
with $3000 commission on his
own stock and like Coshow, Fetty,
Clancy. Keller. Stockman and
Robinson, gave notes for the bal
ance due to be paid within a five-
year period.

the statement is made and sworn
to that "the actual money paid

ler. Jr. was individually $20,000
and that there was "no property

Fetty, lumberman, former Sa

company's books show, but rather

against him as an open account.
Jay H. Stockman, former as

office in Portland, paid no cash
whatever for bis stock, the books
reveal. At first he was credited
with a payment of $2000 but sub-
sea uentlr this credit was cnargea
back to Stockman's open account
on the company's ledger and
while he was charged no interest
o- the S2000 item, the books of
the company revealed that he

and personal and political friends
of the executive.
Governor Meier showed little
evidence of his recent illness, and
grasped firmly the hands of a
large number of persons who
called to pay their respects dur
ing the day.
"It certainly seems good to be
back in Salem", Governor Meier
said as he glanced over a number
of important official documents
on his desk.
Because of the large number
of persons who called upon Gov
ernor Meier during the day, no
ooara meetings were held.
The first official act of Gov
ernor Meier was that of writing
a check for $150, covering his
contribution to the unemploy
ment relief fund now being rais
ed by state officials and am'
ployes. Although Governor Mei
er's actual contribution, based
on one day's salary per month
over a period - of five months,
would have totalled $105, be
generously, added $45.

INDIUMS LAW
ATTACK IS FILED
Violates six per Cent tax
Limitation is Claim in
Complaint Filed
Violation of the six per cent
tax limitation of Section 11, Ar
ticle XI of the Oregon constitu
tion, is made in the 1931 intangi
bles tax law and the all tax lev
ies collected thereon are void,
Isabella M. A. Barnes declared
yesterday In a complaint filed in
circuit court here in which the
state tax commission and Gov
ernor Meier are made defendants.
The plaintiff asks for a restrain
ing order of the court to prevent
further collection of the 1931 tax
and for a refund of all 1931 In
tangibles taxes thus far paid.
The plaintiff contends that the
state tax commission made no
provision for the intangibles tax
enactment when the base was
made up in. December. 1930.
Since all proceeds from the 1931
Intangibles tax collection, after
collection expenses are paid, go
into the state general fund and
since the base determined by the
tax commission in 1930 was six
per cent higher than In 1929,
plaintiff holds the six per cent
limitation is exceeded by the ex
act amount of the net intangibles
taxes collected.
Maude B. Green and Mary A.
Caswell yesterday filed in circuit
court here an amended complaint
to their original attack on the
1931 intangibles tax. They al
lege that the measure is discrim
inatory, and thus in violation of
the state and federal constitu
tions providing for equal taxation
on all similar classes of property.
Since banks are omitted from
taxation upon intangibles, the
plaintiffs declare the law Is in
valid and ask for a restraining
order from the court upon the
tax commission, holding np any
inriner collection or the tax.

While the health unit budget In
crease was the main event before
the city aldermen Monday night, a
group of other business affairs
formed a busy prelude and heated
postlude to an extended council
session.
Acting upon a resolution intro
duced by Alderman Hal D. Pat-
ton, the council voted to inform
the Oregon Pulp Paper company
here that the street vacation voted
October 30, 1930, was done upon
the express understanding that the
company start construction on an
addition to the plant within six
months. The resolution points out
that this promise has not been
kept and gives the paper firm 90
days in which to begin work. The
resolution provides that the coun
cil shall take action to rescind its
vacation of a 40-foot strip on
Trade street if the paper company
delays more than three months In
starting work.
After extended debate, the al
dermen turned down an ordinance
which would submit to voters the
question of downtown street light
ing districts. Mayor P. M. Gregory
spoke ardently for the measure
but Aldermen Dancy, Patton and
Vandevort opposed it as an enter
ing wedge tor Increased taxes on
downtown property.
Alderman Watson Townsend
made an economy thrust at the
fire department in his motion to
whack off a $30 monthly payment
to a fireman for distributing gaso
line to city departments and for
keeping records on the disburse
ments. Townsend's motion prevail

Change in Librarian at
Willamette is Rumored
The executive l committee of
Willamette university will meet
this morning at 10 o'clock with
several Important Issues pending.
Campus rumors indicate that a
change may be effected In the
head of the Willamette university
library, though no confirmation
has been received. Dr. Frank G.
Franklin is the present librarian.
Another Important question will
be whether or not a salary cut
for the professors will be made at
this time. A reduction la wages
for the Instructors was talked at
the June meeting of the board,
and further action or a decision
on this question may come up to
day. As yet no cut has been mads
In salaries.
As far as new buildings are
concerned, Willamette university
will have to wait longer, according
to President Carl a. Doney, who
states that no funds are available
for such purposes now. The $100,-
000 Ha user bequest was taken In
as part of tba endowment and can
not be decreased. The need for
new buildings Is acute, with
thoughts of a new library and a
science ball paramount.

If it does rain, however, Tusko

the amount of work thus afforded.
There are 37 members In the un

mercial printing establishments
in the city. C. W. Brant is presi
dent of the local group.
No reduction In the existing
scale of $42 a week for day work
and $48 for night work has been
made, Brant said yesterday. Some
discussion about a reduction in
the scale has been carried on with
in the onion and a proposition for
a lower scale at the state printing
office Is now pending before the
state board of control.
It is understood that the univer
sity has a large amount of money
in the endowment fund which has
not been Invested as yet. Seversl
fair chances hare been deemed too
risky with a result that the mon
ey is still unplaced.
President Doney states that no
dance committee report will be
made. Last year a large number of
Willamette university men and
women signed a petition to have
a general hearing on the dance
question with the hope of gaining
official permission to hold student
dances.
The petition was submitted to
President Doney and referred to a
committee. According to Doney,
there has been no report on It as
yet and he gives no indication that
any report will be forthcoming.
Frequently students Inquire con
cerning the fate of the petition,
but the answers have been vague.

A score of women, employing
the power of eloquence as -a feet

night upon the embattled line ef
the city council in an effort te
raise the $6000 budget appropria
tion for county health work in
1932 to the 1S0I0 marlr wUm
it heretofore has stood. The
torts or the women who renna
sen ted P. T. A. groups, business
organizations, and that greater
circle, the mothers of Salem, were
backed by prominent men la the
community in an honr'a itrsetl -
to secure the $2000 raise. While
the council's defense sagged. It
never failed, and when adlourn-
ment came, the 1932 budget for
neaitn stood unaltered and safely
past first and second readings.
David O'Hara, chairman of the
budget committee, tried to end
the game by asking suspension of
the rules and a final vote on the
budget, but other aldermen, dis
couraged by their failure to get
the $2000 advance for health, bat
undefeated, blocked the move. As
a result the 1932 city budget goes
