State Tax Study
Plan Up Again in
Oregon's Senate;
By Eric W. Allen, Jr.
(United Fresa Staff Correspondent)
Salem, Ore., Feb. 6 P Senate
Joint resolution No. 2, which in its
present form calls for the forma
tion of a tax study commission,
and permits the retaining of a
firm of nationally recognized tax
experts, comes to the floor of the
Oregon senate again today.
The resolution, introduced early
during the session by Sen. Coe A.
McKenna,. is in almost identically
the same form as when it first
was introduced, when the senate
refused to accept it, but it is un
derstood that Gov. Earl Snell,
who first requested it, had per
suaded many members to accept it
as it is now.
The provision which the senate
originally objected to was that
permitting the hiring of a tax
firm.
Study Continued
The house military affairs and
postwar planning committee was
continuing siuuy luaay on me Dill
' which would set up a department
of veterans affairs, after hearing
strong affirmative arguments yes
terday. Carl Frelllnger and Herbert
Temuleton, both members of the
veterans service committee in
Portland, urged the committee to
enact "some sort of centralized or
ganization" to care for returning
veterans.
They supported the bill as it is,
but suggested that the $80,000 ap
propriation should be consider
ably larger and that there should
be an emergency clause to make
the bill law immediately.
The bill provides for the ap
pointment of a $5000-a-year direc
tor, an advisory board of three,
all veterans, and empowers the
director to set up his organiza
tion to furnish effective and ef
ficient aid to returning fighting
men. Some objection was noted to
the proposal that the members of
the advisory committee be mem
bers of the three largest veterans
organizations.
Berg Opposes Measure
Only opposition to the measure
came from Max Berg, Cottage
Grove American legion command
er, who said that he thought the
existing set up with the Red Cross
and veterans organizations doing
the work was satisfactory.
He could see no benefit to small,
outlying communities in the bill,
he said, and objected to the ap
propriation .of money .for a jab
"already being done." '
Committee Chairman Harvey
Wells, Portland representative,
said that "without doubt," the job
of veterans affairs director could
become one of the largest in the
state before very long.
Five other bills concerned with
veterans welfare were due for
"do pass" recommendation in the
house today. They, included pro
visions for making service com
munity houses available to those
to be inducted as well as men al
ready in service; civil service pref
erence for Veterans; preference
for veterans in state employment;
free recording of discharges, and
the automatic extension of mili
tary leaves for state officers in
service who are re-elected, and
qualifying them.

Wear and Tear on Buttonholes
Heavy in Capital, Scribe Says
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Preu SUrf Correspondent)
Washington, Feb. 5 lPi Before
I get around to Cal Johnson of
Belleville, 111., I must report that
this town is full of lobbyists of
all shapes, but mostly portly.
There are more of these lads
buttonholing congressmen than
there are congressmen. This re
sults, obviously, in serious wear-and-tear
on buttonholes.
The association of peanut
butter grinders is represented
here. So are the lead pencil
makers, the soda pop bottlers,
the sugar cane choppers, the
flour mix manufacturers, the
broccoli dealers, the fiber box
builders, the artificial leg whit.
tiers, the ice cream freezers, the
stone crushers, the jelly preserv
ers, the wire cloth weavers, and
the narcotics researchers.
This is onjy the beginning. The
movies, the postal clerks, and
scores of other organizations have
their.capital glad handers. Dozens

of ex-congresshien practice law
So much for an introduction to
our friend from Belleville, Calvin
D. Johnson, who used to be, until
last month, a congressman him
self. He lost out by 2,000 votes to
Melvin Price, a democrat, and you
know what happened?
Some of the republicans from
his district sent Johnson back
here as a congressman-without
Dortfolio and set him up in busi
ness to represent them In their
multitudinous dealings with the
government. The district pro
duces coal, kitchen stoves, furna-
ices, iron castings, butter cnurns,
apples and other items too unmer
ous for Johnson to mention. His
(employers consist 'of a dozen of
jthe leading manufacturers.
"The original Idea was io gei
25,000 people to put up SI each to
send me back to Washington,"
Johnson reported. "But I vetoed
that. I didn't think it looked
right. So now I am represent
ing these businessmen, doing for
them about what I used to do
when I was a conggressman."
He said he was no lobbyist.
He'll leave the lawmaking to Rep.
Price (who was, unfortunately,

"The Idea Is that wnenever one ,

thing. It Is a new idea, but I see
no reason why it shouldn't work
out."
Be(ore he became a congress
man, Johnson was building con
tractor. He's the man who went
to Alton, 111., and stole a railroad
(or at least the rails) for a war
plant he was building in Granite
City. "I trucked out those rails
in the dead of night and by the
time the WPB caught up with
me," he said "I had most of em
spiked down. The government
man was sore. Me saia i was m i
danger of going to jail. I said 1 1

pie who stole bread went to jail, '
but people who stole railroads
went to congress."
County Is Sixth

Deschutes county continued in

salvage of waste paper for the
war effort, members of the Bend
Junior chamber of commerce, in
charge of the city's salvage cam
paign, were notified today by
state salvage headquarters. The
report showed that this county
contributed 37 tons of salvage
paper in January, representing a
donation of 37 M pounds per per

uary was the largest single ship
ment since last August, and
brought the county's total contri
bution to 373 tons, the report in

Man Faces Death;
Orders Disobeyed
"Vancouver, Wash., Feb. 6 lf
Political, rather than religious,
convictions against war Impelled
Pvt. Henry Weber, 27, to disobey
orders of his Camp Roberts, Calif.,
officers and brought about his
sentence to be hanged, his wife,
Grace, said today.
The army was aware of Web
er's beliefs against killing before
his induction last July, and, in
fact, one officer advised him to
object whenever ordered to carry
a gun, she said.
The condemned man, mean'
while, was held at the Camp Rob
erts guard house pending final
review of his general court mar
tial sentence, allegedly precipi
tated by a refusal to drill with
his squad. Camp Roberts officials
said the sentence was imposed for
violation or tne t4tn article ot
war, which includes assaulting or
wilfully disobeying a superior of.
ficer.
Study Is Asked
(In Washington, Sen. Burton K.
Wheeler, D., Mont., demanded a
senate military affairs committee
investigation of conditions "under
which a man was sentenced to
death by hanging for refusal to
drill.")
Mrs. Weber, mother ot their
three-year-old son Wayne, told re
porters she had received no offi
cial notification of her husband's
death- sentence.
Weber, she said, was not a con
scientious objector and had not
requested assignment to a con
scientious objector camp. How
ever, he frequently expressed his
convictions against killing his fellow-men,
she said, and informed
army officers of his beliefs when
he registered and when he was
brought up for his physical exam
ination. He asked to be assigned
to a medical unit, she added.
Officer Gives Advice
"When he reported for induc
tion, he told the officers about it,
and they checked back with his
draft board," she said. "Then an
officer advised him:
" 'Well, there doesn't seem to be
much we can do. If I were you,
I'd object every place you can.
When they order you to carry a
gurii object
..It seems no's ony following
orders and they're going to hang
him for it."
Weber, a former shipyard fore-
man and logger, was born in Wis-
consin and resided in Vancouver
since childhood.
