Neither Reed nor his friends and kin have the necessary funds. Reed's appeal had it ben per fecte dwould have been based on the discovery of new evidence. Af fidavits wre made by two Ashland residents, that they saw Reed in a hamburger stand three blocks from the scene of the murder, at the time of its commission. The affiants aver they recognized Reed as the man the final day of the trial when they visited the court room. DRIVER IS KILLED PORTLAND, Sejt. 3.

Sonth Commercial street home, of Joseph Baker and wife todi es day and found them both in good health and excellent spir its, although the two recently had quite a tussle with Bf r. Flo. Mr.-iiaker is past 94 years of age and his wife is running him a close second, being about six I years younger. The couple have been married over sixty-five years, having one son, Ed, who is employed as accountant at Miller's . Department store. Mr. Baker gave up active business pursuits a goodly number of years ao and the two are spending the latter years of their life in quietness and en- joying the society of their many friends, some , of which they have had for many years agone. The memory of each is excep tionally keen and they can re call many interesting events from the days long past. Their home life is ideal in every re- spect and they are given the" loving attention due to their advanced years. What would the state capltol be without the presence of George Brcsvrn? He has been connected with the office of the state land board for many years and - each year his services grow of more value to the state.' Ever since The Stroller has worn short pants be has known George- Brown and, believe me, folks, that was years and years ago. But George doesn't seem to grow any older with the advancing years although the locks atop his head are becoming somewhat grayish in color. The Stroller knew Rax Davis when he was but a youngster also his brothers, Jim and Walter. Rex first got a strangle-hold on life by traveling for a San Fran cisco wholesale grocery firm. Now he is employed in a responsible capacity in the stare treasurer's office and has the opportunity of handling more money than he ever did before. Many of our residents have oft en wondered why A. N. (Nes) Bush wears his hat brim turned up in front. This has been a habit of his for years and years. Gardener Kluck who has charge of the city parks is a man who takes an intense pride in his work. His numerous duties keep him quite busy like, but he is al ways ready to pause and swap a few yarns with The Stroller who was familiar with Willson Park when.it was Willson Avenue. Part of the old place consisted of a tennis court, a band stand and a dirt bicycle track where Zadoc Riggs, Boyd Richardson, Perry Card, Chester Murphy, "Bill" Babcock, Rik Dearborn and Watt Ship delighted in demonstrating their speed on the two-wheeled vehicles. Charles Gabrielson shows up at his Salem home seini-occasionally and after saluting his family in the customary manner he hies Unusual Cruelty To Lad Charged OSHKOSH, Neb.. Sept. 3. (AP) Testimony that a five-year-old boy was whipped with a board and then forced to run bare-footed across a field of sand burs was given in county court at the preliminary hearing of Roy E. Deshmarer, Lewellea, Neb., farmer. He was charged with assault and battery with intent to do great bodily injury to his son. Junior. Salem Youth is Union's Officer PORTLAND, Sept. 3.

Wife of Carey Seeks Divorce PORTLAND, Sept. 3. (AP) James W. Carey, of the firm of Carey & Harlan, rate engineers, was made defendant in a divorce suit filed in circuit court today by his wife, Edna M. Carey. Mrs. Carey alleged cruel and inhuman treatment.

He has represented the Roy al Insurance company for lo these many years long enough to own a big block of stock In it. Wiley Zinn accumulated his first ten thousand dollars by oper ating a bootblack stand on Com mercial street- but that was when his hair was considerably blacker than it Is now. While in this line of business he purchased the first peanut Toaster ever operated here and The Stroller used, to spend hours standing near by it in order to hear the little whistle blow. He mastered the candy making trade and s now operates a retail ice cream establishment on South Conjmerelal street, where he re ports business as being "hunky dory." ,5 Frank Myers has been connect ed with the Spa, long enough to have become known to every res ident of Salem and many outside its confines. He always extends the "glad hand" to The Stroller and he possesses the happy facul ty, of making each of his patrons feel as though, their presence was welcome, immaterial of whether or not .they shove their shekels over the counter to the attractive cashiers. . o Ben- Taylor has promised The Stroller . a free swim whenever available or convenient to the latter. His place on East State street Is clean and attractive and Ben finds its operation much more to- his liking than carrying mail or manufacturing hard wa ter. V 'Who remembers the old Lin coln Wade mercantile store on North Liberty street? It was lo cated on the banks of Mill creek and his son was an early day friend of The Stroller, who well remembers when he used to sit on the banks and watch Mur ray Wade. Walter Stoltx can always be found at the Elks club each aft ernoon to friends and otherwise enjoying himself. His hair Is now a light gray, but he Is apparently as young as he ever was. The many beautiful yards of Salem are now at their beat, adorned with attractive flowers and shrubbery and a distinct cre dit to the owners and the city.

This would "add" 1 1.201,921 to probable in come and of course, would add this much to state deficit. Such a policy adopted by the state tax commission would be entirely contrary to the accounting prac tice always followed before wherein the commission' from year to year adjusted its esti mates and its actual receipts of revenue: subtracting the shortage where receipts did not meet esti mates or counting in the surplus when income exceeding estimate. Such manoeurerlna 'of flrnres would beat, the devil around the bush to the extent nf 11 !di nn and thus reduce by slightly ' more man a mm tne probable direct PrODertV tax but it wnnlrl arlrl Just that much to the state's de- ncii. wnue the state's finances may be able. to carry a deficit of $2,000,000 due to borrowing be tween funds In the treasurer's of fices at seasons of the year when cash is depleted or by open-market borrowing.

Bonus Commission 1 May be Blade Goat Moreover $550,000 of the ne cessary direct tax might again be obviated by refusing in 1932 as in 1931 to make any general levy for the state bonus commission. Suppose the law la trnnn a vain and this is done: what may hap pen iaie m 1933 when the bonus commission's bonds come due and no funds are available for pay ment? The only way out for the commission would be to offer to sell refunding bonds. These are general obligations of the state. suppose counsel In examining these bonds ascertains that the minimum half-mill levy has not Brown kid with beige piping Brown and black suede with patent trim Black kid, patent and reptile trim pump.

It so the state would find Itself In the perilous position of having $2,000,000 bonus bonds - due, without funds to pay them, and cut oft from refunding operations by the illegal practices followed In two years. Apparently the min imum half-mill tax on all proper ty must be restored in the 193S tax levy. .The state commission, cogniz ant of the state of Oregon's fi nances, is hoping, probably pray ing and certainly working all It dares, to see the S per cent In come tax constitutional amend ment made into law. If it be comes law at the polls November 8 the commission figures an ad ditional $1,500,000 tax will be raised in 1933. This $1,500,000 taken from the contemplated $2. 698,071 property, tax would leave only. $1,198,071. to be. raised In 1933 by direct taxation. Doesn't Dare Work Hard for Increase The commission dares not spend too much time working for the 8 .per cent income tax. It knows it will be criticised for be coming a tax-changing body rath er than simply a tax levying and collecting body. . But the commis sion's sympathies are all with a higher income tax and a lessened or abolished tax on real property for state purposes. It has the firm support of the governor and the chief executive's tax league. . Merely, seeking higher taxes and getting them passed by substan tial majorities are two different things especially in 1932. - Add to this fact the knowledge that a well-paid campaign, originated with wealthy Portlanders will be waged against higher state in come taxes in Oregon, and the chances of victory for the 8 per cent Income tax levy at the polls becomes exceedingly doubtful. The majority of property taxpay ers want further relief; whether they will seek it by voting a high er income tax or attempt in the state's case, the impossible de vice of getting lower property taxes simply by reducing expen ses, remains to be seen. If the income tax fails, the governor, Mr. Hanzen and the tax commission will be "on the spot" between November 8 and the time the tax levy is made in December. Unless a special ses sion of the legislature is called, there can be no passing of re sponsibility. For under' the Ore gon system, the 1933 tax levy must be made before appropria tions are passed or any new taxes $8.50 fQ r A $09U tfQ PA pOuU 0 r tPOeUU voted by the legislature. The governor and his advUon might determine on a bold policy. They might summon, the legisla ture and present the state of Ore gon's finances. They might ball for a general sales tax to continue for two years until income, excise and Intangibles taxes come back and provide enough revenue "for. the state's expenses. They might ask for a serjes of sales taxes or special indirect taxes: higher lev ies on corporations, on insurance policies, on Inheritance taxes; on tobacco; on utility sales. To make any of these levies of avail in re ducing property taxes, the spe cial legislation would have to pro vide that all the revenues would go to reduce taxes on real prop erty. If such a real-property offset was not in the special legislation, the tax commission "would still have to levy to the extent of the tax base, on direct property. That means that the base, in 1932 It will be $3,017,000. less the net Income of 2(98,071 estimated in 1933 from Income taxes, or $2, 318,929 would necessarily be lev led on property. The reason lies in an Oregon law which compels the tax -commission to levy to the full amount of the per cent limitation base as long as there is a deficit: .Thus if the legislature should provide added and special revenues and they were not made part of the base as are the In come taxes now the tax commis sion would still have to levy on property and apply proceeds to reduce the outstanding deficit of more than $3,000,000.
