Mr legislative show la the 37th
salon's hop of discharging the
tax problem, lightening the load
on real property, sarins several
eoonties from bankruptcy and
keeping tha state solvent. It it is
passed, the state is past its fi
nancial crisis as a governmental
institution. If it fails, the legis
lators left the back door open;
that three-mill property levy was
not repealed and will function as
a dragnet In 1933 and 1934 to
brlnc needed cash to Salem. As
for tha counties and the property
taxpayers; God helps the work
ing Ctrl, perhaps he will save the
fanner, the timber owner, the
small home taxpayer.
Ranking Crisis May
Mean Warrant Basis
Tha national banking crisis,
rather than the 37th session of
tha legislature, tied up immedi
ate chances of state government
saving itself from a warrant bas
is. A $2,000,000 loan had been
arranged, the three-mill property
levy was restored and the stage
was all set, after adjournment,
for cash funds to flow to Salem.
Now it is likely that the state will
begin stamping its 'warrants and
unpaid for want of fund?, thereby
emulating a score of counties and
scores of cities and subdlstricts in
the state doing the same thing on
a large scale.
Convened in strenuous, desper
ate times, the 37th session's mem
bers showed a praiseworthy ability-
to be "conservatively pro
gressiva." Seldom was the session
swept off its feet. It did not, by
any means, surrender to the cure
alls of Bnrke, Brown and Zim
merman. Scanning the calendar
will show that the proposals of
these men in the main died in
committee or on the floor. On the
other hand, with some exceptions,
the-, session's members wanted to
use the strong arm of government
to help the distressed wherever
possible. Relief measures went
t? ough sailing. Courts were or
dered to do equity in mortgage
foreclosures. Economy in state af
fairs was not only preached but
practiced and the longest session
spen,t less money than' any pre
vious gathering In a decade.
Caution Thwarts
Unsound Enactment
The new members as a group
were fairly clear-thinking, un
iformly hard working men. If
they were slow it was not lazi
ness or short working hours, bat
rather inexperience, caution and
a desire to examine all proposals
with care rather than hurry
through unsound enactments.
Tha lobbies at the session were
large and well-organized. Too
great freedom was allowed them
in tha gallery and on the floor of
thai, sessions. The small-loan lob
bies, the truck and bus and the
railroad groups, as well as the
utilities, had too free access to
committee rooms, tended to in
trude into member's thinking and
discussions entirely too much.
More formality in session and
committee room deliberation
would Improve the tone of the
session.
Aside from a few extremely
controversial measures, no sus
tained "bloc" or organization
showed its hand. Even the beer
forces could not storm the sen
ate's dry bastlle. Leadership in
both houses was characterized by
Us prevailing impartiality and
willingness to give all sides a fair
hearing.

LONG BEACH, Cat., March 11
(AP) Recurrent earth shockst
many of them so sever they
rocked tha remaining buildings,
made Long Beach a city of fear
tonight as tha death toll was of
ficially reported at 70 and tha In
jured at approximately 2500.
Crowds wandered tha streets
aimlessly, gasing awe-strickdtl at
the tremendous damage dona to
thia once beautiful seaside com
munity. City officials placed the
damage conservatively at $25,
000,000. Sixty of tha dead war Identi
fied after a careful recheck. It
was expected it would be a matter
of hours before tha remaining
eight would ba named. Tha ar
mory was converted Into a tem
porary morgue and was besieged
by thousands of relatives of the
dead and miss fag. There waa no
martial law, although 4000 sail
ors, soldiers and marines kept
the crowds moving and would
not allow them to walk on the
sidewalks, keeping them is the
middle of the streets.
At least 75 per cent of the
buildings and residences were
damaged, possibly 26 per cent of
that number beyond repair.
Residents Refuse
To Return Home
Most residents refused to re
turn to their homes as shock after
shock, some severe and others
less Intense, rocked tha buildings.
Tha fire department was kept
busy during tha afternoon and
early evening answering alarms
in various sections. Ambulances
were called into service tonight
as several persons venturing too
near to partially destroyed build
ings were Injured by falling de
bris loosened by later shocks.
Bonfires were kept burning in
vacant lots and residents planned
to spend a second night In the
open with seemingly no letup in
the earth'a convulsions.
Anaheim boulevard, one of the
main thoroughfares of tha city,
suffered the main brunt of the
damage. Practically every build
ing on tha street was damaged in
the business area. The larger
buildings of height limit seem to
have withstood the shocks bet
ter than the smaller ones, al
though many of the IS story high
buildings were cracked, but not
sufficiently to cause condemna
tion. (Continued from pas 1)
Bankers' association have made
official disapproval of tha pro
posed step. Bankers in smaller
cities feel that tha trend will be
for depositors to take tha money
to the larger centers if tha banks
are completely reopened without
restrictions. No matter how liquid
the small bank will ba, reopening
of tha large centers first or with
out restrictions will hurt the
smaller bankers, tha latter feel.
Federal officials at Washington
were In conference through Fri
day night and Saturday, it was
learned yesterday at tha state-
house. No banks have yet been li
censed to reopen and doubt is ex
pressed here If reopening can
take place in any banks for sev
oral days.
Tha method of reopening state
banks win ba left entirely to the
states. Officials in all states say
thalr banks must reopen on the
same basis that national banks
reopen.

Jim Tully, whoso latest realis
tic drama, "Laughter In Hell" has
been screened by Universal, and
will hava its local premiere at
tha Capitol theatre today, la one
of tha most picturesque figures in
American literature.
Born In St. Marr's. Ohio. Tullv
spent much of his youth la an or
phanage, growing up to learn and
understand tha neonla whom hm
later described In hia "Beggars of
Life." Living as a "hobo" for
years he secured tha first hand
knowledge of tha poverty classes
which hia books deal with.
Rupert Hughes gave him his
first encouragement In Hollywood
and his first protege proceeded to
startle tha literary world with his
"Jarnegan,- before turning to
writing for the screen. "Circus
Parade," "Beggars of Life,"
"Passing Strangers" and "Way of
a Sailor," hava placed him in the
van of screen writers, and his col
orful stria hava mad Tniw th
highest paid interviewer of pic
ture stars, we has also appeared
as an actor In several plays, in
cluding his own "Way of a Sail
or" with John Gilbert.
"Laughter in Hell" which tells
the true story of tha chain gang
hells, is based upon first hand in
formation, and is said to be tha
most searchingly realistic thing
Tully has ever done. Pat O'Brien,
Merna Kennedy, Gloria Stuart,
Tom Brown and Barton Churchill
are featured in the powerful pic

first departure from tha rough-gruff-and-tumbla
heavy roles that
hava made him so popular on the

Tha nearest BIckford ever came
to getting a part that permitted
him to be anything else but brus
quely indifferent to his charming
leading lady waa in "Dynamite"
and in "River's End." But in
"Vanity street" BIckford will

Conan Doyle had a flair for
mystery and a knack of making

was so worldwide, however, that
it overshadowed all his other tal

spiritualistic writings. But adven

one story from its submergence
and that story is "Tha Lost Spe

Barrymores, Garbo, Beery,
Crawford Stars In Film
Here Three Days
Submerging of star personal
ities Into characterisations was
tha directorial task Involved In
the making of "Grand Hotel" aa
a motion picture, according to
Edmund Gouldlng, who directed
the plcturlsation of tha celebrated
Vickl Baum play, which is now
playing at the Hollywood theatre
for three days.
"Usually, a picture la built
around a star personality," ex
plained Gouldlng In a recent in
terview. "Often a story is tailor
ed to fit tha star. In 'Grand Ho
tel' we had a directly opposite
situation. There were five stars
playing five separate and central
roles. It was more a problem of
fitting them into tha character
isations than making the parts fit
them.
"With such outstanding play
ers as Greta Garbo, John Barry
more. Joan Crawford. Wallace
Beery and Lionel Barry more
playing these roles, the center of
the stage or the camera eye had
to be divided into fiva component
parts. Footage was shared evenly
and a certain uniformity was
maintained throughout.
"Friends have asked me if this
picture will set a precedent for
placing so exceptionad a group of
starring film personages in anoth
er picture," stated Gouldlng. "My
only answer to that question is
that it may occur again if anoth
er such play or story as 'Grand
Hotel' is ever written. But I
don't think we'll find another
work providing five such out
standing characterizations, for a
long, long while."
