Salem Day Fills all Build

Racing Program Staged
In Mud.
Ignoring the showers which
tended to Jam all buildings on the
grounds more than 20,000 per
rons, making up the largest rainy
day crowd ever seen in Salem,
walked through the gates of the
61st Oregon state fair today.
With lair weather predicted for
tomorrow, officials,, are confident
tint the day will outstrip any pre
ceding Thursday in history. The
past record ranges around 40,000
persons, and, with the Portland
erowd appearingwith those resi
dents of Salem who neglected to
tome tndav. it is believed that the
attendance' record will be beaten
by many thousands. J. E. McClin
tock, veteran cashier, expressed
rank surprise at the extent of to
day'! crowds. Occasional flashes
ot sunshine gave the visitors an
opportuntiy to inspect all parts of
the grounds.

State Federation Opposes
Income Tax Measure on
Ballot Free " Text
Books Favored.
If- the income tax amendment
sponsored by the state taxpayers
league is permitted to go on the
November ballot, as now seems
highly probable, organized labor
throughout the state, will go down,
the line against it as an attempt
to throw a monkey wrench into
the program for a legitimate in
come tax measure, according to
sentiment expressed at the con
vention of, the Oregon State Feder
ation of Labor here today.
A resolution expressing the op
position ot the federation to the
league's proposed amendment was
introduced into the convention
hopper and referred to the resolu
tions committee for preliminary
action. The resolution is expected
to come onto the floor of the con
vention Thursday and predictions
are for favorable action at the
hands of the representatives of or
ganized labor who are gathered
here from all sections of the state.
Ask Free Text Books.
Other new resolutions intro
duced before, the convention this
morning urge the adoption of free
text books for the public schools
of the state, organization of pub
lic school teachers; election ot
federal judges and legislation
placing employers' employment
agencies under the regulation of
the state labor commissioner.
A resolution urging the Ameri
can Federation of Labor to take
steps to offset the "milk ana
honey" propaganda of American
employers in Europe, was adopted
by the convention this morning
after much discussion pro and con.
The resolution favors the employ
ment of representatives of Ameri
can labor to go to Europe to pre
sent labor conditions as they ac

Europeans who contemplate immi

pi (a new company recently in
4 z srated at $10,000, have closed
a fn il with C. M. Miall, president
5T !e Phez company, whereby the
IS Jrewery buildings at Tumwat
f" TVash., owned and operated be
fore the Volstead act by the late
Leopold Schmidt, noted brewer,
have been purchased and will as
soon as possible be equipped for a
high grade paper factory. The
plant has been used for making
cider and Appleju.
It is believed that, judging by
the revenue stamps attached to
the deed filed in the auditor's of
fice at Olympia, that there was ap
proximately $50,000 cash involved
in the transaction. It is under
stood, however, that there were
delinquent taxes to the amount of
something over $14,000 and sev
eral liens held by a Portland Trust
company, which the new company,
agreed to pay off and which, by
the Washington law, would not
need be stated in the deed, there
by making it necessary to use rev
enue stamps to more than the cash
amount of the transaction.
William T. Trindle, as piesident
of the company pro tem, stated
yesterday that it was the pma of
the company to install machinery
for the making of high grade pa
per from rags. He said that he
though that a sufficient amount
of rags which are shipped either
by train or ship to the mills in the
east, especially Massachusetts,
could be directed toward the Turn
water factory to keep it going me
year round. "The rags are ship
ped to the east and then the paper
is sent back to ua and we pay the
freight both ways," he said. It is
also very probable, according to
Mr. Trindle, that there will be ma
chinery for the making of paper
from wood pulp installed if con
tracts of a figure thought to be
sufficiently low are made with the
timber owners are secured.
After Drohibition went into ei-
fect and the subsequent ceasing of
the manufacture of beer, the plant
was turned into a fruit juice fac
tory by the Schmidt brotners.
Later it was sold to the Phez com
pany but about a year ago was
abandoned. It is understood that
before prohibition Mr. Schmidt re
fused $1,000,000 for the plant.

Nationalist Army Pours

London, Sept. 27. '(By The As
sociated Press) Mustapha Kemal
Pasha, replying to General Har
rington's ultimatum, evades the
quesUon of the withdrawal of the
Turkish troops as demanded, says
a Reuters dispatch from Constanti
nople, but declares that Kemal has
no knowledge of a neutral sone.
He rjomplalns of the action of the
British in destroyinng buildings
and roads, and concludes by saying
he concurs with the allies in the.
desire to avoid incidents.
Constantinople, Sept. 27. (By
The Associated Pregss) While the
Anatolian cabinet sitting at Smyr
na is completing Its reply to the ai
lied note, the nationalist army
continues its feverish concent ra
tion of troops on the Ismtd and
Chanak lines. Mustapha Kemal
Pasha now has 1,100 men in Kum
Kalesi, at the mouth ot the Dar
danelles; 5,000 at Adramytl, 50
miles southeast of Chanak; 10,000
in the intervening Sanjak of Kar-
assi, and considerable forces in the
other areas.
- Date Set for Saturday.
The nationalist leader expects
these concentrations to be com
pleted by September 30, which
date; coincides with the time set
for the final evacuation of refu
gees! from Smyrna. It is consid
ered 'significant here that General
Noureddin Pasha, military gover
nor of Symrna has declared ne can
not guarantee the lives of the
nhristlans in Smyrna after that
date.. This is taken to mean that
the Kemallsts want to clear decks
for action in the event the allies
reject their reply.

No Bloodshed thus Far Revolt Started Among

London, Sept. 27. (By The Associated Press) Greece ia
In the throes of a revolution which has already caused the
downfall of the government and According to several reports
from Athens has forced the unhappy. Constantine to abdicate
in favor of the crown prince, thus losing his throne for the
second "time in five years.
The revolutionary movement which is said to be led by
General Gontatas, is making headway in all directions but
thus far without reports of bloodshed.
The insurrection, which while not altogether unlooked for,
broke out in formidable force with unexpected suddenness,
had its inception among the vanquished troops' brought from
Smyrna to the island of Mytilene and Chois and among the
soldiers at Saloniki.
Strangely enough, however, the two revolts seem to have
had different objects the f ormer aimed at the overthrow of
the government and King Constantine, and the latter with the
defense of Thrace against the Turks.
London, Sept. 27. (By Associ

That Forces King to Ab
NTEREST RATE
BILL IS BEFORE
E COURT
"The power of Initiating legis
lation reserved by the people of
the state to the legal voters is a
great and valuable power which
must be jealously guarded against
abuse," according to S. S. John
son, Portland attorney In an ar
gument before the supreme court
against the admission of the pro
posed interest rate amendment to
the state ballot.
The case is up on appeal from
the decree of the Marion county
circuit court restraining Secre
tary of State Koser from placing
tha measure on the ballot, because
of the invalidity of the certifica
tions of certain Portland notaries
public.
If the power of the initiative
mnnnt ha kent free from such
abuses as are represented by the
recently uncovered fraudulent cer
tificatlon of signatures on initia
tive petitions, Johnson declared,
"thin Important instrument of
self government, although grant
ed to the people of the state by
their organic law will euner no
lost, or worse still, will become
the tool of careless and corrupt
factions."
Willis S. Moore, assistant at
torney general, represented Sec
retary of State Koxer in the argu
ment before the supreme court.
Tbs question at Issue was as to
whether or not the invalidation
of h notarial certificates effect
ed the validity of the petitions ia
the event these contained a suf
ficient number of signatures of
qualified voters. The burden of
proof as to the status of the pe
titioners, in an attack against the
petitions, Mnore contended,
should rest upon the plaintiffs
who had made no attempt to
prove the signatures themselves
invalid.
