Governor Pierce and 13 state senators were flayed by State Treasurer Kay today In an address before the Salem chamber of com merce for plunging the state Into the financial morass in which it Is now floundering. Nine of the senators, he eald, were republi cans who yielded to the Influence of the only four democrats In the senate, and among the nine he specifically mentioned the two Marlon county senators. Hit Dennis Bill. Kay went ou record today as op josed to the Dennis resolution, to be voted on in November, 192G and which would Inhibit the as sessment of income or inheritance taxes in Oregon v?r a period of 15 years. Ho explained that while he opposed the recent state Income tax, now repealed, he would favor an income tax under proper condi tions. One reason given for op rosing the income tax act of J 92 i was that the federal government assesses a very heavy income tax The main Issue before the 1923 legislature, said Kay, was whether the legislature would put the gov crnor In n hole, or tho governor would put tho legislature In n hole. "I have to admit," be said, "that the governor succeeded with the aid of a group of sena tors who stood by him." P State in Hole. The governor didn't stop with putting the legislature In a hole, said Kay, but put the whole slate i.i a hole and he declared that the governor with the aid of Jefferson Myers, then state treasurer, vio lated the law In falling deliberate ly to levy a sufficient state tax, and that they did it for no other purpose than out of revenge for the repeal of the slate income tax, He pointed out that the income tax was passed by the people by n majority of only about uOO an I was repealed by a majority of about 14,000. "Prior to the enactment of the income tax,' siid Mr. Kay. "the .si ate tax levy was about 3.2f mills. After the repeal of the In come tax. when the tax commis sion made its stats levy Inst De cember, it was Its duty to go back to the old levy in order to provide funds that would not be forthcom ing from the income tax. Hut In stead, by the vote of Governor I'icPCe and Mr. Myers, It levied only about 1.85 milts, or about $1,225,000 less than was neces sary. This made it Incumbent up on thp legislature to do something, so the revenue b?ws, like the tt haceo tax and the tithing bill wer? the result. I be ineve a majority uf the legislature was against these, but there was nothing else tc- do. since the governor, with the aid of the 11 senators would have been able to veto a measure providing on additional state tax levy." Kay said he believed the gov ernor made a mistake In vetoing the bill for a special election next September, but rreotted him with good fntih In this, explaining that he was informed the governor vrtoed It because few people would "ote at a special election and con sequently there would he a danger that the Dennis resolution would carry. Emphasis was placed on the fact that the state must carry a seri ous deficit for the next two years fit lpast, or until tho next legisla ture meets, due to tho fact that under tho 6 per cent tax HmitA toin amendment of the constilu t:on nn adequate state levy cannot be made next December on tiir; basis of the levy of last December.! the next slate levy, he said, can rot go above $2,0.10 000 for tha'l reason, a figure which Is inade quate to meet state need. I "To meet the situation, h1! said, "the state must now violate t own consttltntlnn by going In- to debt over the conftltutlonl I amount In order to pay Its bllhr. J PIE 13 SENATORS STATE FUNDS ARE ED 10 PAY COACHES University Maintains Two Offices At $3000 a Year Each Which Are Frills Without Excuse. (By Harry N. Craln) There Is opportunity for the re gents of the University of Oregon to effect numerous small econom ics, which will amount to consider able in tho aggregate, If they are as bent upon economizing as they purport to be. For one, the practice of paying part of the salaries of athletic coaches out of public funds might fittingly be discontinued. Of course, these payments are made in the guise of salaries for assist ant physical education instructors, but to anyone familiar with ath letics at the university the camou flage Is apparent. The use of ath letic coaches as physical education instructors never has and never will work out effectively or eco nomically. Too much of the time of the coaches Is given over to their tennis, ana they are all too much inclined In scoff and neg lect routine physical educntlon nc tivltics. Six Coaches Paid Six such combination coach In sfructors appear on the payroll of the university for the year ending October J, 1924. Ohas. A. (Shy) Huntington re ceived from the university $1500 for that year's work. He was foot' ball coach. The name of George E. Bron- aush appears on the payroll for $90 for three months work as In structor and coach of golf. Rudolph Kahl received $2000. He Is an instructor In swimming nnd coach of tho va rsl t y iw I m m I n k and soccer tennis. Donald K. Park also instructor in swimming, and coach of the freshmen swimming squad received $ :j GO. W. J. Kclnhart, banketbnll and baseball coach, was listed as an In flructor in pbyical education and ws paid $1000. Bnrl Widmer, paid $2000 as an Instructor, Is also wrestling coach. Two I'd Id I30OO Fif h Jn addition to this, as has al ready been touched upon to some extent, the university Is paying a salary of $3600 a year to Virgil Karl, director of athletics. Karl's position is not only one which should be supported out of ath letic funds, but Is without Justifi cation for ertstnnee If the physi cal cdiicatloi deportment nnd the athletic teams were entirely di vorced, as they should be. Another frill for which the peo ple are paying $3000 a year Is the office of director of student loan funds and student adviser. Why a lftiin fund ncKreKallng only $7, 000 should nerd a full-time admin istrator, or what advice the stu dents need they cannot get and do not get from their own major pro fessor and the dean of men Is both hard to explain and understand. sons In making additions to the loan funds the payment of his salary would be as much Justified If his business Is to Interest per ns though ho were engaged In nny of the varlon.1 other endowment campaigns which have been nnd ara being conducted by the unl- vernlty.

Conflicting stories confronted po lice today in their efforts to ac count for a mystery fire which caused the death of Reynolds Parsons, wealthy broker and club man in his apartment In a fash ionable North Side neighborhood. Firemen found Parsons' body, partly clothed, In the burned drawing room of his home yester day. In the apartment at 'he Imo were Mrs. Parsons nnd J .thins King, a policeman who said he had accompanied the broker homo several hours before. Mrs. Parsons suffered slight burns on her fnco nnd hands while King was severely burned and also injured when he fell to the ground from a second story win clow. Wife's Stories Vary Mrs. Parsons said that she did not know of her husband's death when slip greeted firemen ho entered the apartment. At f Ir.-tt she told the police that she and Mr. Parsons returned home nt 10:20 o'clock Saturday night. She later fixed tbe time at 1:30 a. m. Sunday and said she had retired immediately. Neighbors, however, reported they had heard the two talking loudly in front of the building about 4 : 30 o'clock In the morning. Awakened by smoke about 10 a. m., Mrs. Parsons summoned a Japanese servant and roundel the alarm. The Japanese said that previously Mr. Pardons had awak ened him early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the club man and Policeman King. Break fast over, the butler went back to bed, he sa id, leaving Pnrsons and bis guest in the living room. The firemen believed that Par sons, holding a lighted cigarette. may have fallen asleep on the di van, thus starting the fire.

The court held that the states in enforcing com,,uinoiy education laws, cannot require the attend ance of children in public schools, 10 uie exclusion, of private or pa rochial schools. The Oregon compulsory educa tion law, requiring children be tween the ages or 8 and 1(1 to at tend public schools, therefore wua declared Invalid.
