San Francisco, visited during the late afternoon by an hour's steady fall of fluffy snow, set tled down for a cold night. The temperature dip was so sharp au tomobile owners feared radiators might tretie. Similar near-freezing condi tions were reported from the state's inland valley:, even In the south, where coli snaps are rare. Alaska, far to the north, where snow and lee are traditional, was an exception as the weather in another freakish mood brought a warm rain which melted the snow cover at some places and broke the grip of ice on streams. Southern California, at the other extreme of the accepted weather standard, sent in re ports which included such words as bliszards, sliding tevj ma tures and raw wind?. SPEiKNG CHEST '.

Earl Fisher, state tax commissioner, told tha Salem Ad club here Friday noon. To avoid thla tax, mada manda tory by tha state constltntlon no matter how great redactions In ex penses may be, a aalaa tax haa been proposed. Fisher aaid this tax or soma other means of taxation was fav ored as an offset to a property tax In all tax conferences held by the administration In tha last tew weeks. Ha indicated that a special ses sion of the legislature was prob able with that body left to deter mine what means. If any, or tax readjustment would ba used by the state in 19SS. Fisher aaid tha form of a sales tax being discussed looked toward the collection of t per cent on the gross of all retail sales. This tax would ba paid monthly by the merchant, who presumably, would pass it on to consumers. "Soma revenue must ba had for the state to prevent the re turn ot the property tax," Fisher commented. Ha said expenses in all phasas of government in Oregon had in creased from $0,000,000 in 1000 to $60,000,000 In 1120, with property bearing the large share of tha cost including debt service on $190,000,000 outstanding debt.
