(Continued from par 1) budget items have been- decided upon. There -was developing yesterday a decided move both within and without the ways and means com mittee to reverse the drastic sal ary schedule slashes made early In the session. The original Hansen salary cuts went as high, as 25 per cent; ways and. means committee members went to 50 per cent on salaries above $7500 but now the proposal, which is said to have the support of eight ways and means members is to go back to a sched ule near to the Hansen proposal. West Salem News . WEST SALEM, Feb. 4 The Community club realized about $17 as their part of the benefit play given Thursday night; This will be devoted to relief of 'those in need.

Administrative officials of the state have pointed out the diffi culty of attracting able men to state work if salaries are too far reduced. Then the ways and means committee has awakened to the fact that the total of the ruthless cuts will not do very much In solving the state's deficit problems or in giving any very large reductions to the total bud get. Tax Measures Await Wavs-Means Action Pending final word from the ways and meanB committee tax measures in the house have slumbered on in committee. A new drive for some form of gen eral sales tax before adjournment Mm certain. A group of mis eellaneous tax boosts including higher income tax, inheritance tax and perhaps luxury tax charges, will come out on the floor for debate and probable nassaxe. But the members of the house eommlttee in taxation and assess ment feel any tax moves futile until the lerislators see Just how much money the state must have t. 1933-193 4.

The question now is clearly one of a three-mill prop erty levy or some substitute; the hankers' dictation convinced the most skeptical that the state could not do the feat first propos ed in the special session: cut its budget and run without any property tax or any susbtltute. The changes in the highway taxation program are about set to eome out of committee for legis lative debate.

NEW S.'.LES TAXING WOLF CREEK BILL SIS IIP DISPUTE (Continued from par 1) the bill be made a special order of business in the senate Mon day. This motion also was lost by a vote of 13 to 12. The senate passed a bill by Williamson providing for numer ous changes in the state banking code, whose provisions include: That the state banking board shall be comosed of five members instead of three. These would include the governor, secretary of state, state treasurer, and two state bankers to be selected by the governor. Lowering of the loan limit from 20 to 10 per cent. Plan of liquidation whereby dividends could be paid within nine weeks instead of nin months. Provides double liability in bank liquidations. Tightening up provisions relat ing to loans to officers and direc tors of state banks.

The proposed sales tax would be of great avail to farmers who now pay considerable tax. on their personal property, the new meas ure's proponent! declare. It would also help retailers and manufac turers, as well as wholesalers, since a considerable share of the sales tax they would pay, in many cases more than 50 per cent, would be offset by the fact that hereafter they would pay no per sonal property tax. The new sales tax measure would apply to all utilities hut would be paid from utility gross sales and not added to the bills furnished consumers. A number of house members have discussed the new bill and think it is in many ways prefer able to the measure introduced in the special session.

The touchy subject of liquor regulation in the Beckman and Upton measures still slumber in committee. High school transportation which drew a huge crowd to a public hearing this week must yet be discussed on the floor. Branch banking is suspected to make legislative fur fly. The criminal syndicalism repeal is up on a divided report Monday. A variety of bills dealing with business practices, sale of house hold appliances by utilities, false advertising, uniform prices throughout the state, are yet not reported out of commutes. The oleo tax measure, the fun damental science bill, several measures to consolidate several boards and commissions in state government, a minimum salary law for teachers, abolition of the budget director's office, reduction of the state tax commission from three to one members, the $z.bb flat Heense fee to last until July 1, 1933: these and many more moot questions are plays which mast be called, attacks and de fense to be madera-the fourth euarter of thia.r-mxn political football game tQgttwr Stagg to Coach At Coast School CHICAGO, Feb. 4 (AP) Too youag to quit at 71, Amons Alon so Stagg is going west to carry on in the football world.

The extent of the loss was not es timated as there was hay, grain and machinery stored in the barn. Pacific coast hop markets were very quiet during January, re flecting the nsual mid-season dullness, but also influenced to a considerable extent by the dis position on the part of both pro ducers and consumers to await further market and legislative de velopments. Inquiry from dealers was light and growers were offer ing only small scattered lots. Only a few small transactions were re ported from the principal market ing centers of the three coast states. These however, were on a basis of around 4c per pound be low the prevailing market a month ago. Stocks of hops of all growths, remaining in Pacific coast grow era' hands, as of January 31, ap pear to be around 7000 bales be low those of a year ago. Trade statistics Indicate that 35,046 bales were held by these growers January 31, this year, as compar ed with 4 2,199 bales in the same position on that date last year. These stocks are divided as fol lows: California 11.727 bales, Oregon 19,419 bales, Washington 3900 bales. Oregon hop markets were ex tremely quiet and inactive during the past month. Only one small lot of 40 bales changed bands dur ing the period. These brought 24c per pound, net to grower. Oregon growers for "the most part were showing a strong holding tenden cy on their remaining stocks. Ac cording to revised trade surveys. 19,419 bales of hops of all ages were held by Oregon growers on January 31. These were divided by years as follows: 1932 crop, 16,645 bales; 1931 crop, 1792 bales; 1930 crop, 676 bales; 1929 crop, 137 bales; 1928 crop, 169 bales. Oregon dealers' estimates of the 1932 Oregon hop production, obtained by checking with each Individual producer, Indicate a production of 64,896 bales. Several three-year term con tracts were reported completed in Oregon markets during the month, totaling 14 00 bales, at 20c per pound to grower. Of this amount 1000 bales were for foreign account.

For rails, losses were mostly small, though Santa Fe, Union Pacific and Delaware Hudson dropped a point each.. Gold mining shares were less emphatically bullish, but still pointed upward. Movement of revenue freight in the last full week of January represented a decrease of 24,346 cars from the previous week. Much of the decline was account ed for by the smaller coal ship in e n t s, reflecting abnormally warm weather over fuel consum ing areas. Statistics on the stock market's short interest revealed a rise of 48,071 shares from Jan. 3 to Jan. 30, a fair sited expansion when dullness of trading during the period covered is considered. Undoubtedly the technical posi tion has been strengthened rather materially in the last two or three days. Human Fly Dives To Death Alter Talk on Safety SANTA MONICA. Calif.. Feb.
