Bat said headache is strictly a non-partisan, legal one, engender ed by Just how best to reconcile, it -at aii, me provisions or tne city charters or ordinances with the flood of beer that is due to pill over the country. Take Monmouth, for instance: There no license for sale of beer has. ever been granted, because the city charter has a beer clause that sticks out like a sore thumb In the wet cause. Dallas has al ready started legislation to legal ize sale and license same. At Independence a city charter clause and ordinance confounds the beer sales. The Gervais coun cil is standing by until other towns settle down to thoronrh I legislation, so therell be no resru- Iathm, or rather no legal sale, April T. The Woodburu council is con- slderlng new laws; Aurora baa been rather mum on the subject, although there has been no change in the city charter since saloons operated, when a $4 He- ense fee was in vogue. And so It goes. Surprisingly enough, very few applications for permits to sell beer have been made to eitv nf- flclals In the outlyin j towns.

The city attorney also was drawing up a comprehenSiTe bill licensing the sale of beer. Draw ing information from old city or dinances and measures proposed elsewhere, he planned to include all angles of the beer problem in the measure, leaving It np to the aldermen to select and discard, as they may deem proper. Kowltz ex pected to have the bill completed today. If the council is to enact beer control measures before sale of S.2 per cent beverages becomes legal nationally, it must either hold the special session this week, or suspend the rules at the reg ular meeting,' next Monday night. and put the bill through all three readings in the single night.

A three-way organization to as sist In and direct the dissemina tion of -information on the sales tax will soon be annotated. A nine-member preliminary organ ization committee already Is in ef fect These were the principal devel opments of a three-hour confer ence held late yesterday in the executive offleea of Governor Meier and attended by more than a score of interested eltlzens in cluding a number of legislators. Although a large majority of the 19 members of the house and senate committees on taxation were present, It was pointed out that members of the 1933 legis lature were acting solely as in terested private citizens. The organization to be com pleted in the near future calls for appointment of a state chair man, a state executive committee and of a state general committee of not less than one citizen from each county to act in coopera tion with the state executive com mittee. The already appointed prelim inary organization sub-committee consists of Representatives Mc- Cornack, Duerst, Snedecor. Bel ton, Lonergan, McAlear and Wal ker, . and Senators Staples and Corbett. Concensus of persons attend' lng the meeting was that if an election were called this month, downfall of the tales tax would inevitably result because of the scant general knowledge as to all phases of the levy. The legislature, however, point ed out . Senate President Fred Kiddle, had studied all possible revenue measures for two fnll months, only to decide that the sales tax formed sole possible means of escaping financial stag nation.

Gehlhar said he had received letters from many exhibitors urg ing that the fair be continued and declaring that they would consent to drastic reductions In the pre miums offered. Gehlhar said his tentative plans called for a fair based on a pay- as-you-go-basis with expenses be ing Increased if receipts warrant ed. He said no authoritative esti mates could be had on the pari mutuel betting receipts and thus he was not counting these Into his budget. Legislatures heretofore have ap proved $75,000 a biennlum for the state fair, all of the money going for premiums. For the 1933-1934 biennlum the appropri ation was cut to $10,000 and this sum was set aside for paying in terest on $43,500 of state fair bonds outstanding and for main tenance of the buildings at the fairground. Gehlhar is this week working on the. setting of a date for the fair, seeking one which will not conflict with other shows being held throughout the northwest this fall.

Members of the commission aid there was no question of the constitutionality of the law which provides that the state, June 1 and December 1 of each year, re ceive its payments from the coun ties in full. The apportioned tax to the counties, the commission explained, is similar to bond prin cipal or interest in effect, being due and payable at the specified date irrespective of the percent age of tax collection In the county from which the funds are due. While the matter has never been raised at law In this state, members of the commission said they thought a light would be given them to impound all tax re ceipts for payment to the state until the state s claim was paid The tax commission is fully ap preciative of the plight of the counties. Its members stated Wasco county's difficulty, the commission feels, will be parallel ed by many Oregon counties this year. The proposed general sales tax, if approved by voters, will relieve the counties after the first half of the 1932 state taxes are Paid.

It is not against the political program for Ger many, for Germany Is master within its own household, but solely against the present anti Jewish policy of the nazi gov ernment, BERLIN, March 27 (AP) Adolf Hitler's nazi party an swered foreign threats of boycotts against German goods today by announcing a movement to boy cott Jewish business establish ments within the Reich. The purpose of this movement will be to retaliate against for eigners who have made protests based on allegations of antl-se- mltic outrages In Germany. Government toleration of the movement was seen in a commun ique issued by the Telegraphen- Union which denied that the boy cott would have official support, but admitted the administration would "tolerate these measures so long as foreign governments take no steps against atrocity propa ganda." In Munich the Hitlerite party press advised, the government not to Interfere In the boycott against the Jewish business houses in Germany until foreign nations have acted to suppress anti-German boycotts. The papers re marked that the government could use the boycott ab home as a bargaining point in halting pro- ected anti-German campaigns abroad. WASHINGTON.

Supreme Court Hears Case Monday; Defense Says Statute is Vague Decision regarding the consti tutionality of the new warrant law which Involves more than $500,000 of sustaining, unpaid state warrants, may be forthcom ing today from the supreme court after a hearing held by that body here Monday morning. Argument centered on a demur rer filed by the defense to the ap peal of C. D. Thomas, state em ploye, for a writ of mandamus against the state treasurer, which would require the latter either to cash Davis' warrant or to mark It not-pald-for-want-ot-fnr-ds. Center of the argument at the hearing was the constitutionality of the legislature's action In mak ing It mandatory for the state treasurer to mark warrants not-paid-for-want-of-funds after the state board of control agreed to such action. Fred Paulus, deputy state treas urer, opened the argument for the defense. He cited the condition of the state which has had an in creasing deficit since 1924 until at the end of 1932 it had a "book deficit" of $3,524,000. He eited further the warrant bill intro duced by the treasurer In the spe cial session of the legislature giv ing the treasurer alone the power of placing the state on a warrant basis but which act was vetoed by the governor. He charged the law was so vague and uncertain that "it was Impossible of execution."
