in
i Arrest of two more juveniles, one nabbed by Portland police
at a navy recruiting office where he was seeking to join up, and
their admission Friday of numerous burglaries and car prowlings
apparently cleared a wave of petty thievery which has tormented
Salem police since before the first
of the year. i
Clarence Cutsinger, 16, of 1040
North 17th street, was picked up
by Portland police for Salem po
lice. Joe Hankins, 15, of 637 North
17th street, was arrested at his
home here. Both were charged
with burglary and were certified
to juvenile court in justice : cotfrt
Friday. j
Cutsinger and Hankins admit
ted, police said, that they ; had
worked with Jesse Waiter Bar
ham, 17, charged earlier with
burglary. In a number of house
prowls and store pllferings.
Police further cleared their list

Scott, state treasurer, declared
here Friday,
Scott said the tax departments
6f the states have been circulized
warning them of the peril to state
revenues and urging them to send
protests to the ways and means
committee of the house of repre
sentatives at Washington.! -
It was pointed out that the pro
posed federal income increases
wquld be destructive to estates as
well as to state revenue.
Citing a $1,000,000 estate as an
example, Scott said the normal
Oregon inheritance tax of $75,775
with the proposed federal tax of
$442,455 would result in approxi
mately 52 per cent of the estate
being taken for death taxes. This
percentage, he said, is based on
the' minimum Oregon tax, but
would be enhanced materially if
the estate passed to collateral heirs
of a deceased person or persons
bearing no blood relationship to a
Realty Board
Votes Against
Paid Parking
Report of a special committee
to investigate the parking meter
proposal brought spirited discus
sion before the Salem Realty
board expressed in a unanimous
vote opposition to the plan. A
proposal that some solution to
the parkirfg problem be found
was referred! to the planning com
mittees Ernest Miller suggested free
public parking lots, which he said
might include the east lawns of
the courthouse and postoffice. J.
D. Sears proposed that merchants
find space other than downtown
for parking their vehicles. !
The committee reported oppo
sition was due to a feeling that
pay parking would drive cus
tomers from downtown and would
not . solve the present problems
of congestion. :
Charles V. Galloway, chairman
of the state tax commission,
spoke concerning 'the! commis
sion's recent decision on Multno
mah county's varied ratio man
ner of valuation of property for
assessment He said the decision
was based on an Oregon law of
1854, which had been amended
five times and as late as the last
session of the legislature. Its prin
ciple of valuation by "equal and
rateable proportion" in relation to
the true cash value stood through
out, he remarked. :

foreclosure last July will have been redeemed by the time the
year of grace has passed, William Thielsen, Marion county pro
