" 'y ft r. s " - Tony Carl Martin, 27, confessed participation In the holdup of the state liquor store here Tuesday night, after being captured in Port land. He is shown in npper picture between Detectives Ripley, left, and McConnich, who made the arrest on Barbnr boulevard after a ' state officer had pursued the alleged bandits' car from Tigard. Low . O Martin to Plead On Holdup Count Twenty-seven year old Tony Carl Martin is scheduled to plead in Justice court today "to a charge growing , out. of Tuesday night's holdup of the state liquor store. Arraigned yesterday, he request ed 24 hours' time in which to make up his mind. Martin's bail, originally set at $1000, was raised to $3000 by the court and he was returned to jail for failure to post it. The formal charge against him is assault and robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon. One Jimmy Foster, whom Martin named as his accomplice in the robbery and who fled from their car in Portland Wednesday night, had not been 'apprehended up to late yesterday afternoon. Senate Hits Tax On Capital Cains (Continued From Page 1) dersecretary who asked the fi nance committee last week to re tain the undistributed profits tax. was present at today's committee meeting when the tax was de leted. Magill estimated that the 18 per cent Income rate would yield S948.000.000 for the current calendar year, or $97,000,000 more than would be provided un der the house system. The house bill would levy taxes ranging from 16 to 20 per cent, depending upon the amount of corporation profits distributed to stockhold ers. For corporations having in comes of $25,000 and less, the senate committee program would provide a system of credits which would operate to reduce tax pay ments. The credit would be one-tenth of the difference between $25, 000 and the net income of a corporation. Thus, if a corpora tion had $5,000 income it would be able to deduct $2,000 from that. It then would pay 18 per cent cn $3,ooo. Old Gravel Case Finally Settled A decree by Circuit Judge L. G Lewelling yesterday afternoon en abled Marion county to pay a bill for $5338.35 worth of gravel which it had been unable to pay lor several years because of a dis pute as to whom the fund was due.

E. Taylor, Skinner, Taylor and the county were de fendants In the suit along with J, W. Mayo and the Bank of Stayton. The court ' found nothing due Mayo And the bank as such. The decree was based on a stip ulation Entered into by attorneys for the plaintiff and defendants yesterday morning. The payments were sums accumulated since Jan. nary 1, 1931, for gravel removed from the north fork of the San Bandit Suspect Caught 'After Fast Dash B A L L A D E o TODAy By R. a Americans, long years ago, fought a successful revolution, to guarantee that in this land all men might think Just as they pleased; folk who demand that right today but criticize, our constitution, find that the law protects them though their logic's badly squeezed.

Kunze in his address referred to the pickets who had stormed the hall as belonging to "subver sive minorities." "Our principles," he said, "are against atheism, for religious freedom, and against subversive internationalism." He said the bund uses the sign of the swastika because "it is the best way to hold 100,000 members together." Kunze denied that the meet ing was in celebration of any thing. "It was scheduled merely as a stated monthly meeting. The German-American bund has has no definite program at present," he said. Many of those who stormed the hall.

County Commissioner Roy S. Melson said yesterday in reporting on a sec tional conference of the State Association of Judges and Com missioners held Wednesday at Eugene. One of the greatest complaints concerning the pres ent old age assistance plan, un der which counties pay one fourth of the pensions' cost, is that it takes needed funds away from road work, Melson said. With Judge Fred Fisk, of Lane county, newly-appointed collector of the customs, resigning, the group elected Judge J. J. Bar rett of Lynn, to its position on the state executive committee. Commissioner Melson, being al ready secretary-treasurer of the group, declined to serve on the committee. Commissioner W. H Malone of Benton was named alternate.

Informing the association that the regular health instruction pro gram in the elementary Schools embodies a great deal of emphasis pn the subject, Gaiser further pointed out the amount of educa tional material handled by the members of the physical education staff for both boys and girls. Narcotics Dealt With "We have tried to approach this problem from the standpoint that no emotional suspicions should be aroused in the minds of the . pupils, but rather that our young folk do become aware of the existence of this narcotic and the different effects upon the hu man body," stated Gaiser in ref erence to marijuana, in particu lar. Home economics classes, and in biological and general science de partments, according to Gaiser, devote at least one unit of work to habit forming drugs and their effect upon the human body.
