Fire Hazard Elimination is
Considered Along With
New Jail Building
But Vault Also Needed and
Entire new Plant one
Solution Talked
Shall Marion county spend
tome 115,000 on eliminating fire
hazards at the county court
house? Shall Marlon county spend an
other $10,000 or thereabouts, on
construction of a separate Jail
building and heating plant on the
courthouse grounds.
Shall Marion county' Junk Its
courthouse, admittedly a. fire
trap, even with improvements,
and build a new structure?
These were a few of the ques
tions talked pro and con about
the courthouse yesterday, follow
ing submission to the county
court by the grand Jury of a
report prepared by city , firemen
and the building inspector. The
report suggested elimination of
serious fire hazards at the court
house through re-wiring the
building, Installation of an alarm
system, addition of at least one
fire escape, enclosing certain pp-enlngs-oolnd
shutting off stair-
ys, and adding fire resistant
material over various ceilings
and corridors of wood.
Financial Problem
Is Viewed by Court
The report was present"! to
the county court yesterday morn
ing, and while the court made
no indication of what It would
or might do, each member did
state that of course the court
did not wish to see human life
endangered. However, no budget
allowance for any such project
was made, and the cost problem
will likely loom large, particu
larly In view of present tax con
ditions. ,
In the discussion between the
Jury and court members yester
day, suggestion of another build
ing to house the jail and sheriff's
office, similar to those in Eugene,
Albany and Dallas, was made. The
grand Jury will visit the Dallas
jail in a few days with a view
to making further recommenda
tions to the court.
The possible proposal for an
outside jail would diminish little
the need for correcting tire haz
ards In the courthouse, county
court members Indicated, and
merely make two expenses, in
stead of one, if the grand Jury's
recommendations were ' carried
cut.
Keed of Fireproof
Vault la rotated Oat
County Commissioner Melson
yesterday pointed out a salient
matter of which the Jury's report
took no cognizance: The heavy
and irreparable loss which would
result to the county In case of
fire because of lack of fireproof
vaults In the clerk's, tax collec
tor's and recorder's officer., par
ticularly. Loss of delinquent tax
papers right now would ccat the
county over half a million dollars
In inability td collect through loss
of records.
So, with the grand Jury likely,
before It finishes, to suggest mat
ters which will cost around $30,
.900 (should the court see fit to
adopt them) why not build a new
Courthouse while the county Is
pending money, Melson asks. The
$30,000 or so expenditure would
he only a temporary matter at
best, and only alleviate and not
rid the courthouse of fire hazards,
he says.
But where't the money to come
from tor a new courthouse, even
if It could be built cheaper now
than at any time in years, Melson
and the other court members ask
Incidentally, the $15,000 esti
mate on following the recommen
dations as laid down by the report
submitted to the court, was vol
unteered yesterday by two build
ers, who looked the courthouse
over as soon as a Job was scented
The court will ask Inspection by

Grasping opportunity by the forelock, Adolf Hitler, former Austrian
house painter, soldier la the German army and leader of Ger
many's national socialist party, aa chancellor of the German re
public occupies the international spotlight. Twice previously Hitler
had the chancellorship almost within his grasp, but his unalterable
demand for dictatorial powers lost him the job. This time, follow
ing the downfall of the Yon Schleicher cabinet, Hitler abandoned
bis "all or nothing" policy. But the nazi chief Jces a difficult task.
His cabinet, handpickod by President Von Hindenburg, is composed
mostly of conservatives, among whom are former Chancellor
Franz von Papen, as vice-chancellor and dictator of Prussia and
Baron von Xeurath, a hold-over of the Von Schleicher cabinet, who
retains the portfolio aa foreign minister. These were bitter pills
for the nazi chief to swallow, but there was compensation In the
appointment of Dr. William Frick and Hermann Goer lug, both
trusted lieutenants of Hitler, who are minister of the interior and
minister of air and interior for Prussia, respectively.

made last night by Milo Reno of
Des Moines, la., who led the mid

While governmental and fi

"It has' been no secret at all,"
declared the president of the Na

Meanwhile the rural mortgage

government Influence was added
Saturday in considerable measure
to the farmer's fight to save nis
land, livestock, and machinery
from mortgage foreclosure.
From a dozen localities came
reports of concessions granted by
Insurance companies and loan
concerns, together with attempts
by government agencies to lighten
agriculture s debt burden.
The farmers gave no indication,
however, of lessening their deter
mination to save their property
from foreclosure at any cost.

Of Recent Disturbance
Laid to Outsiders
Declaring that Justice should be

ty, workers at the Community
Service-Red . Cross relief office
yesterday asserted that recent dis
turbances were largely the work
of outsiders and the county's own
citizens had conducted themselves
admirably well, considering their
plight. Except for grumbling here
and there over delays In obtaining
food requisitions, Marion county
needy, for the most part, remain
ed orderly, it was pointed out.
Remedy was largely effected to
the past delays yesterday when a
volunteer assistant added to the
relief office force permitted three
of the young women to devote
full time to taking records of
cases and making out the requi
sitions. It is anticipated that still
more workers will be added,
should the press of the relief ac
tivities make it advisable.
By closing time, fi p. m., yes
terday, requisitions had been pro
vided IS persons, most of them
representing families. Few of
them were forced to wait long for
appointments In the office, it was
reported. In addition to caring for
the out-of-city applicants, who
have right-of-way on Saturdays,
the office assisted a number of
Salem residents.
On the surface, the relief situa
tion had quieted down. Persons In
dose contact with the week's dis
turbances reported that the work
was going on smoothly and agita
tion at least temporarily stopped.
Additional service for the coun
ty's needy was started last week;

No Assessment to be

Of tax Planned
Six Millions Revenue
Expected; Bill has
Meier Backing
A general sales tax which
would save the state from col
lecting a real property levy and
meet many of the objections
made to the sales tax proposed
In the special session of the leg
islature, was being drafted Sat
urday by the state tax commis
sion and will probably be intro
duced In the legislature thia
week, bearing administration ap
proval.
The essential difference of the
new sales tax proposal from Its
predecessor would be the aban
donment in the future of the as
sessment and taxation in Oregon
of all personal property. The
assessed value of such property
in Oregon In 1932 was about
290.000.000 and the 1933 tax
levied against it for all purposee
itate, county, city and district.
totals about $3,750,000. The
state tax commission says such
personal property amounts to
8.47 per cent of the assessed
value in the state.
Two Per Cent Tax
On All Retail Sales
In lieu of tax on this personal
property the new sales tax pro
poses to do the following:
Levy a two per cent tax on all
retail sales, payable monthly by
the retailer.
Levy a one-half of one per cent
tax on all wholesale sales and
manufacturers' sales, this tax
payable monthly.
Levy a one per cent tax on all
service business, inclnding doc
tors, lawyers, laundries, where
service, not goods, are primarily
sold.
The new tax bill will provide
that half of the revenue go for
state purposes and half for coun
ty purposes, with all revenues re
ceived to be used in lieu of real
property taxes now levied and
not to Increase government ex
penditures. Since the new bill. If passed
through the legislature could not
Include the emergency clause and
might be subjected to referen
dum, it Is provable It could only
operate to offset the last half of
1933 real property taxes.
Six Millions Deemed '
Probable Revenue
A careful survey of possible in
come to be received from the new
tax proposal puts the sum at
$$,000,000 annually. The state
would thus receive $3,000,000 or
enough to do away with any reel
property levy for state purposes.
The counties would receive $3.
000,000, or nearly as much as Is
now levied by them on personal
real property.
Officials of the state tax com
mission declared - yesterday that
they thought total tax collections
on personal property In 1933
would not be more than $2,500.
009 and probably not more than
$2,000,000 despite the fact that
about $2,750,000 in taxes on per
sonal real property have been
levied.
Difficulty of collection on per
sonal property which Is movable
and which fluctuates rapidly in
value has always made the tax on
personal property hard to collect,
the tax commission points out.
This is especially true in present
times. Assessments on real prop
erty are also difficult since asses
