Lewis was working on a brok
en line, holding one end In hU
band with a connector and the
other with a pair of pliers In bis
right, according to 8. O. Kuther
lord, who was working below
Lewis. Suddenly Kutherford
heard the snap of the spark which
accompanies the breaking of a
circuit, and looking up, he saw
Lewis reel and tall in time to
catch him. Investigation later dis
closed burns on the arm and
band which indicated that he met
death by closing the circuit with
his arm.
Rutherford began the work of
resuscitation at once over the
body of the unconscious man. In
few moments he hailed a man
at some distance who called Dr.

ed by physicians. Attempts to re

oxygen were used.

Open Forum
Community Is In Need
of Definite Working
Program Says Dean
of Oregon School
That a definitely organized
working program is fundamental
... ...i . ,.
tne BUCCKBSIUI jMifeicon vi
community was emphasized
last
night by Dean E. C. Robbins of the
University of Oregon school of
business administration, who
spoke last night before the open
forum at the Commercial club
rooms. After that, all there is to
do is "roll up your sleeves and get
to work and you have tbe bear by
the tall."
Before the war the general
growth of the community was tak
en as an index of its relative suc
cess as a unit," be said. Due to
the war, however, America has
come face to face with a number
of circumstances of vital import
ance which were thrust on the
realization of tbe people with
somewhat of a shock, and which,
according to the dean, are to a
great extent a fault of the com
-munlty. When 30 per cent of tho
draft were physically unfit, and
33 per cent of those physically fit
were on the border line of illiter
acy, It was an indication that the
community was not all that It
should be. It also was learned
that the country, which was for
merly looked on as a source which
furnished new raw materials to
supply the Industries with strong,
capable man-power, was behind
the city In physical and mental
handicaps.
Community Duty.
On Bomewliat of a different
line, Dean Robbins named the lack
of whole-souled Americanism and
the presence of radicalism and In
dustrial unrest as a community
fault, :ind held that all these were
things that a community should
work to overcome.
"We talk up the Washington
end of things too much?!' he con
tinued. "If every community bud
taken care of its own soldiers, if
the employment problem of the re
turned soldier had been met and
solved as a community problem,
there would not be the gigantic
national problem thut faces us to
day, Involving such measures a.s
tbo soldiers bonus bill." The dean
expressed his firm belief that the
community should take It on Itself
to meet the soldier question, and
that the federal government Is
now dabbling In something which
It Is obliged to, because the com
munities have been "passing the
buck."
Dr. Henry E. Morris, who In
chairman of a committee to make
arrangements for a community
sing, reported that a plan was un
der way for a sing in the park
with the municipal band som"
time In the near future. Krlday.

Land Acquired at
Tax Sale by Cities
Held Not Taxable
Land acquired by any com tf or
municipality In Oregon at tax sale
Is acquired and held for a cor
porate purpose and it therefore not
subject to taxation, but upon sale
of such property for a purpose
which affords an Income to the
municipality holding it, tbe ex
emptlon ceases, according to an
opinion banded down by Attorney
General I. H. Van Winkle at the
request of the state tax commis
sion. The attorney generU further
said In his opinion:
That property owned by a pub
lic body, but not devoted to punll:
use, is not exempt troin taxation.
That property held by a munici
pality in connection with property
used for a publi? purpose, but in
excess of the amount required for
a proper conduct, of s.ich purpose,
and not actually so used, Is not
with tax exemption provisions ex
empting property used for public
purposes.
That where the principal use
to which the property is put is
public, the mere fact that an In
come is incidental;- derived from
U does not affect Its character as
property devoted to public use.
That where an income or profit
is derived from municipally ownert
property, not as an Incident to Its
use as a public ngen.'y, Li t from
Its use primarily and principal!;'
for tbe purpose of producing reve
nue, it cannot be said to be devot
ed to public use and is s ibject to
taxation.
That when property acquired
by a municipality for public use in
leased or sold on contract, the ex
emption ceases.
Local Scout Board
To Meet Tonight
A meeting or ttie executive
board of the local council of Boy
Scouts will be held tonight at 7:30
o'clock in the McCornack building
headquarters to discuss a possible
postponement of the opening of
the summer camp from July 31 to
August 8, according to the an
nouncement issued today by Har
old Cook, local executive.
With the prospect of an attend
ance of about 100, only one-third
of those originally expected to at
tend the two 16-day camps, it has
been proposed to hold but one
camp beginning a week later. Of
flcial action will be taken on the
matter tonight. The board will
probably act on the appointment
of W. W. Craig as deputy scout
commissioner for the county.
Although the meeting Is offi
cially called for the executive
board only, Mr. Cook asks that
members of the scout council feel
free to attend.

Washington, July 21. A dia -
metric conflict of views between
republicans and democrats as to
the justification for Rear Admiral
William Sims' charges of misdi
rection and delay on tbe part of
the American naval administra
tion during the early month of
the war was shown in majority
and minority reports published
here of the senate naval commit
tees' investigations of the contro
versy between Admiral Sims and
former Secretary Daniels. Assail
ed by tbe majority for having pur
sued what is declared was a "self
defensive, non-aggressive aid non
helpful policy" during thf early
stages of the war, the naral ad
ministration under Secretary Dan
iels was upheld in the minority re
port as amply vindicated by the
"uniform success of our opera
tions" and as deserving the
committee and of the American
people."
Daniels Criticized.
Charging many sins of omission
and commission both in the matter
of preparedness and in naval pros
ecution of the war, the majority
report severely scored Mr. Daniels,
former President Wilson and Rear
Admiral Benson, former chief of
operations, as the responsible ad
ministrative officers. These offi
cials were warmly defended In the
minority report.
Admiral Sims, the commander
In chief of naval operations during
the war, was commended by tbe
majority and assailed by the mi
nority. Opposed to the majority charges
that many serious delays in nfcvul
operations resulted from the "non
aggressive policy" pursued prior to
1918 was the declaration of the
minority that "at no time did the
navy fail to perform promptly and
Williams Sims' charges of dlsdi-
iro posed upon it.
