Tax Returns
Start Coming in
On 1933 Incomes
A much larger and more prompt
teturn to income tax return re
quests has been noticed this year
by the state- tax commission than
ia January. 1933, It was reported
yesterday at the state house. Fully
three? times as many reports are in
uour aa a. year past. One reason is
the greater number of taxpayers
under the lower exemptions this
year but the tax commission be
lieves that the general public is
steadily becoming better educated
in income tax paying.
Tae Portland staff has been
; busy steadily the past week help-
ing taxpayers make out their re
ports.' . - ' '
Some. Chinese farmers have
been at the offices here during the
week asking- tax auditors to make
up a profit and loss statement for
.their entire business year. .. '

Carreth Wells, author and ex

things in his tour through Russia
and the near east In filming his
"Russia Today" which opens at
the State theatre Thursday. Visit
ing monasteries in Armenia he
found cherished relics, a piece
of Noah's ark, a spear reputed to
be the one used to pierce Jesus on
the cross. He encountered the
strange tribe of Khevsurs, said
to be descendants ot crusaders,
and. still wearing armor of their
ancestors in the days of Richard
the Lion-hearted.
The film itself was said to hare
been censored by the Russian gov
ernment; but the dialogue which
accompanies, was not. Prevailing
interest in the Russian experi
ment has made the Carreth Wells
picture of special importance at
this time.

A verdict for the defendants
was returned at 8:30 p. m. yester

were $100 and her general dam
ages, due to severe injuries re
ceired, were $7600.

TO RUri FDR SETUTE
While not ready to make a final
announcement of plans Senator C.
K. Spaulding intends to seek elec
tion to succeed himself in the
state senate from Marion county,
he advised The Statesman last
night -Senator Spa aiding was ap
pointed by the governor to serve
the term of the- late Lloyd Rey
nolds who- died between the elec
tion and the session of the legis
lature in 1931.
After the 1931 session Senator
8paulding was appointed a mem
ber of the state highway commis
sion. His tenure there was a
stormy one, marked by frequent
clashes with J. C. Ainsworth of
Portland and Bill Hanley ot
Burns, fellow members, which
was finally relieved by appoint
ment of an entirely new commis
sion. Since this breach with Gov
ernor Meier, Senator Spauldlng
has been "off the reservation" so
tar as supporting the state ad
ministration is concerned.
Senator Spauldlng was fre
quently mentioned among the pos
sible anti-Meier candidates tor
governor; but his colleague in the
senate, Sam Brown, stepped out
with his announcement. As both
are from the same county, have
teamed rather closely in legisla
tion, and have a similar appeal.
Brown's action sort of boxed
Spauldlng "at the pole."
One other candidate Is already
announced for the senate, "Mayor
Douglas McKay. The race Is a
free-for-all. Candidates do not
stand for particular seats, the two
highest winning the nomination.
