Richardson, project supervisor, announced late eter day. He expressed a belief place ment of this number would take care of most of the employable men remaining on the relief rolls. Richardson's staff prepared un skilled labor requisitions to send 120 men to work on the new road jobs next Monday and 124 Tues day. In addition to these eight foremen will be given work and five men will be assigned as crew for the Battle Creek rock crusher near Turner. The new project, offering em ployment possibilities near Salem where the relief load is heaviest, will result eventually in many men being transferred from old distant projects to road work near tbe city. Richardson said. . A tabulation of timekeepers Wednesday night showed 1214 men and women at work in WPA projects in this county. In addi tion there were 12 assumed to be working most of the time but ab sent the day the checkup was made. One hundred thirty-eight of the total were women. A similar study of .Polk WPA records showed 111 men and no women at work on projects. Chandler Is Chief ALBANY, Ore., Dec. 12.-(,P)-The "Albany city council promot ed Night Officer R. L.

Hop Growers Set Meet Wednesday (Continued from Page 1) violently as the hop market has done since the repeal of prohibi tion. Leaders in this state of the hon growers nm'nted nnt in the mm- mlttee meetings that the industry has steadily been losing ground in the battle to level off the sup Dlr and demand scales, until to day, nearly 80.000 bales of 1932, is a ana 193 4 nops are still in the hands ot growers, and approx imately 60.000 to 75,000 bales are in the hands of dealers, specula tors and brewers. Of the 250,000 bale estimated production for the Pacific coast In 1935, approxi mately 185,000 bales were picked, reports indicate. Although ad verse weather conditions reduced the estimated production by 65, 000 bales, It is believed that 30, 000 bales of the 1935 picked crop will be carried into the surplus, because of lack of demand. Means 3 Millions If Program Succeeds "The average sale price for the last hop crop in Oregon was ap proximately 11 cents," one ot the committee members reported. "If this price, through the control of tonnage, is maintained at 25 cents a pound, the result would be in creased revenue of approximately $3,000,000 for the growers in this state. "The money, which Is paid to Oregon hop growers each year, is out-of-state money, and "would not be brought into the state other wise. This Is being done without tapping our natural resources in any way. Many of our natural re sources are being badly depleted yearly. "Regardless of 'the downward trend of prices and increasing costs pf hop production, the gov ernment has not aided the grow ers as other branches of the AAA have been aided because there has been no strong coastwise organ ization. In the future the hop grower will need protection and representation because of; severe restriction and regulation, and this can be accomplished only by organization." According to the complete plan for the organization, associations similar to the Orfegon faction will organize in California and Wash ington. These three etouds will h correlated by a master corpora tion. Known as the National Hop Growers, Inc., and will be made up of representatives from the three state groups. Members of the Oregon com mittee, who have worked out the proposed plan, together with rep resentatives from the other two states, are Dean Walker, Inde pendence, chairman: F. E. Need- ham, Salem, secretary; Ray Glatt, wood burn: Joe Keber, Mt. Angel; W. S. Walton. A. M. Jerman and C W. Paulus, all of Salem.

Mott Is Booed at Townsend Debate (Continued from Page 1) tax upon the common people that would be levied upon the rich people through the transaction tax, which tax he declared to be a compound sales tax. Objerts to Excluding Tax Upon Loans He further cited that the Mc Groarty bill excluded collection of the sales tax upon "loans de posits, withdrawals from depos its,") and urged that it be revised to also place a tax against the operations of the "money chang ers and sharks" allegedly exclud ed from tax under the present Mc Groarty bill. "If you levy a common two per Cent sales tax as thi3 bill pro vides, you have made no provi sion ito redistribute the vast pool of wealth In the hands of a few," Carney objected. To which Judge Jeffrey an swered in rebuttal that "this isn't a tax to soak the rich; the tran saction tax provides everyone from biggest to smallest shall pay his just share of the burden of government . . . under the Town send: retirement salary there won't be 40 million poor people and you won't have wealth con centrated in the hands of a few. Jeffrey contended that the transaction tax will reach 50 bil lions of dollars -in bonded securi ties alone which have never paid a cent of tax in this country, and that jthe turnover tax on the New York; stock market alone will re turn! 26 billions of dollars per yearj Carney held the transaction tax will ! boost prices 10 to 20 per cent through the pile-up of the tax. j Jeffrey several times reiterated the thought that the Townsend movement will control national as well 'as other elections, and took a jibe j at "every little politician In the jcountry getting close to the Townsend force and will from now until after the primary be one with the Townsend plan with consuming devotion . . ."
