With simple rites, William Jen

There was little In the brief fu

PORTLAND FAILS
10 RAISE COIN
FOR LINEN MILL
Portland's campaign this week
to raiso money for assisting Sa
lem in the establishment of a new
linen mill has been a total failure
up to date, although it will be
continued tomorrow, according to
advices from Portland.
The committee was scheduled to
start out Monday on a concentrat
ed drive. When Monday showed
up only two members of the com
mittee were on the job and the
drive was postponed until yester
day. Yesterday the committee got
out, but without securing a dollar
iu subscriptions.
It was explain cn by the com
mittee that the drive was started
on the harder ones first, leaving
the easier prospects until the end
to make a quick cleanup. None
of the hard ones came through.
As a result the committee is
scheduled to start out again to
morrow to go after the easier ones
and endeavor to put tbe prescribed
amount over.
In the meantime. It was report
ed, members of the committee will
wait on all of the Portland news
papers and endeavor to secure the
co-operation of the press in assist
ing to make the drive a bucccbs.
There is a seeming lethargy on
the part of Portland interests but
it is believed by committee mem
bers they can overcome thiB. The
amount lf t for vortland to sub
scribe Is $80,000 as the balance
of the $135,000 quota for that
city is already on the dotted lin;.
according to the advices. How
ever, the subscription contracts
already signed up In Portland
carry the provision that they are
not pavable unless the entire
amount of $135,000 is raised for
Portland's share.

000 this fiscal year to be used for
tax reduction was promised to
President Coolidge today by Chair
man Madden of the bouse appro
priations committee.
Mr. Madden, who conferred for
two hours today with the presi

vide after the next tax reduction
hill bad been enacted, and said he
though that surpluses amounting
to more than $50,000,000 In any
year should be rebated to taxpay
ers. He would have the surplus
over that amount returned on a
prorata basis. This scheme, how
ever, has been frowned upon by
the treasury.
This program Is the first defi
nite one lail before the president
Mr. Cool id?.-e ban Indicated, how
ever, he will leave exact details of
the next tax reduction bill in the
hands of the house ways and
means committee.
Mr. Madden proponed a tax re
duction program Including elimin
ation of the miscellaneous taxes. I
cut In the normal and surtax ratcj
to make the combined rate 20 per
cent and the elimination of state
and gift taxes.
Under this scheme, the normal
rate would be cut from two to one
per cent cn Incomes under 1:1000;
from four to three per cent on In
comes between $500 and $8000
and from 6 to 5 per cent on in
comes over $8000. The maximum
surtax would be pared down from
forty per cent to 15 per cent.
The Illinois representative
would cut out most of present mis
cellaneous taxes, including those
now on theater admissions, auto
mobiles, club due and the like.

TV0 FOREST FIRES
SET IN UMPQUA REGION
nou'liurg, Or.. July 31. Two
fires of Incendiary origin were re
purled this morning by the Doug
las county fire patrol. One fire.
covering 3 5 acres, started In green
timber In the Comstoclc district.
This fire w:ts started In four sep
arate places, Indicating beyond
question that It was set out ma
liciously. Another fire, also man
aitsed. was reonrtcd'on Pnradls.
'reck west of Klkton, It covers six
acre. The fires were turned In
late last night, and were reported
under control this morning.
swer closely, however, to the de
scription of the bandit implicated
in the Eugene robbery and officers
are certain that his confession is
t.rue.
According to the story of Hayes
he purchased a fii'U at Junction
City, taking a freight to Eugene
and intimidating the clerk with
his gun, securing from $12 to $11
in cash.
When arrested here Hayes was
prowling in the railroad yards and
a gun was found on his person,
probably the same one used in the
hotel robbery.
The clerk of the Eugene hotel
is expected to roach hero today to
look Hayes over. If the evidence
is satisfactory It Is likely the
charge against Hayes here will be
dropped and he will bo turned over
to Lane county officials.
