MAYOR TO ASK
FOR CHANGES
CITYBUDGET
Wants Deficit Appropria

Opposed To Asking Mer

Renumbering Houses
By HARRY N. CHAIN
When the tentative city budget
for 1928, as prepared by the ways
and means committee, is laid be
fore the city council at tonight's
regular meeting, some few changes
will be suggested by Mayor T. A.
Livesley, most of which will be In
the nature of additional or In
creased Items to be deducted oflt of
the surplus to be included for the
maintenance of streets and bridges
In order to maintain the base for
future years under the six per cent
limitation law.
Pointing out that the purpose of
the council and the people In enact
ing the two-mill special levy for
the maintenance of streets and
bridges at the special election of last
June was to lift these Items out
of the regular budget, and allow the
council some latitude In providing
for other functions of government
of late years neglected or crowded
completely out of the budget, Mayor
Livesley said this morning that he
would recommend that the street
and bridge maintenance expenses be
met entirely out of the two-mill
levy, and that If these two Items
are to be Included In the budget at
all It be only to the extent of the
surplus under the six per cent limit
after every otner logical aemana
upon the budget has been met.
Following up his declaration of
last year, when he declared himself

NO NEW CASES
OF PARALYSIS
OR SMALLPOX
No new cases of either small pox
or of Infantile paralysis were re
ported to the county health offi
cials during the week-end said Dr.
Vernon A. Douglas, county health
officer, this morning. The small
pox epidemic at Chemawa which
was first discovered on Thursday
when more than 60 cases had al
ready developed, has caused a
heavy demand for vaccination,
particularly In the schools near
Chemawa, the government Indian
school, and In the north end of the
county where several cases have
developed.
County health officials have
opened vaccination clinics at Rei
ser and Hayesvtlle schools and will
hold clinics In schools In adjoin
ing districts within the next few
days.
Dr. Douglas advises that every
one not vaccinated within the last
few years receive vaccination as
soon as possible either from the
family physician or at the health
center on North High street. In
Dr. Douglas' opinion it Is not at
11 Improbable that a number of
cases of small pox will be develop
ing In Salem shortly because of the
fact that the Chemawa epidemic
became so extensive before Its dis
covery. In addition to extreme care
against the spread of Infantile pa
ralysis and small pox, the county
health unit Is continuing Its cam
paign to rid Marion county of
dlptherla. Toxin anti-toxin clinics
re being held In various parts of
the county and the Chick test Is

Out of my parasitic slate.

KEARNS' SUIT
FOR DAMAGES
Charges Of Jury Tamper
ing Are Made Against
Rickard, Dempsey
Kearns' Attorneys As
sails Promoter In Third
Of Million Case
Courtroom, Newark, N. J.. Nov. 21
yp Charges of attempted tamper
ing with Justice on the part of Jack
Dempsey and Tex Rickard brought
an end today to Jack Kearns $333,
333.33 court action against Dempsey.
Both sides agreed to ending the
case by a voluntary non-suit after
Judge Runyon had told the defense,
who wanted the trial to go on that
the only alternative would be a mis
trial. Just before Judge Runyon Issued
his ultimatum the court was thrown
into an uproar by George L. (Tex)
Rickard, who so resented a remark
of Kearns' counsel that the promoter
had boasted having the case "in the
bag" that he called the lawyer a
"contemptible liar" in open court.
All the charges of 'influence' were
made by Arthur Sager, chief coun
sel for Kearns, who seeks damages
on a contract made when he was the
former boxing champion's manager.
Sager complained about three
day adjournment last week, granted
because Arthur Driscoll, Dempsey's
chief counsel, had said he was sick.
He charged Driscoll with faking
sickness so that Dempsey might have,
time to stump the state, creating
public sentiment for himself, and
that "the sinister shadow of George
L, Rickard, Dempsey's spiritual ad
viser," might be cast over the court.
"Your honor," Sager pleaded, "if
you do not call halt to this trial .
such a scandal will develop as will
make the activities of the Burns de
tectives In the Fall-Sinclair action
smell like attar of roses."

Chicago, Nov. 21 VP) A terror

for life has been uncovered in the
police investigation of wildcat labor
racketeering.
Underworld hoodlumism, grown
lean In the cramped and crowded
fields of bootlegging, rum running
and gambling, has turned, in some
instances which police have found,
to the more lucrative sphere of
"wildcat" organizing into unions of
small tradesmen, Itinerant dealers
and others.
The police are confident that John
P. McLaughlin, an officer of the
dental laboratories mechanics' union,
who was shot by a policeman Friday
night after walking Into a police
trap, went Into the "labor racket"
when money got scarce in the liquor
trade. McLaughlin, they said, be

Victor McErlane, listed as one of
the Chicago 'beer" barons."
McLaughlin and Henry Attles,

TAX REDUCTION
IS AGREED TO
Washington, Nov. 21 (IP) The
house ways and means committee
late today voted that the proposed
tax reduction should not exceed
S250.000.000.
The treasury had recommended a
cut of $225,000,000. The committee
was unanimous in holding that the
13 V4 per cent corporation tax
should be reduced but did not de
termine how much.
The committee also voted to re
tain the federal estate tax and to
retain all per cent Income rates. In
this the committee ran counter to
treasury recommendations calling
for abolition of the estate tax and
for a cut In the rates on Incomes
between $28,000 and $70,000.
It was decided however, to con
sider later reduction In automo
bile and theater admission taxes.
The treasury had recommended
repeal of the Inheritance tax and
reduction of the income levies.
The .committee vote to Increase
the limit for total tax reduction
from the $225,000,000 recommended
by tho treasury came after sharp
debate and was not unanimous.
By unanimous vote the com
mlttee decided that the tax on cor.
poratlon Incomes, now 13 '.4 per
cent, should be reduced, but left
for future determination what the
reduction should be.
It also decided to consider, with
a view to repeal or reduction in
rates, the taxes on admissions, au

DAWES ACTION
IN QUIET WAY
IN NEW YORK
New York, Nov. 21 (IF) The New
York World, democratic, says to
day the politicians of New York
state have been highly mystified by
the upspringlng of a great deal of
quiet activity on behalf of Vice
President Dawes, as a possible can
didate for the republican nomina
tion for president.
The campaign Is without apparent
leadership, the World savs, but Is
causing worry to those who are try
ing to creat a community of Interest
between supporters of Hughes and
those Interested In making Herbert
Hoover a candidate.
Growth of the boom for Frank O.
Lowden of Illinois Is said by the
World to be a factor favorable to
the vice-president. The feeling Is
general, the World says that If it
appears early In the convention that
Lowden cannot be nominated, the
bulk of his strength will be shifted
to Dawes.
Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster
general under President Taft, to
whom the World says some political
leaders thought they had traced the
Dawes boom, said he had heard of
no particular campaign on behalf
of the vice-president.

SMITH NOT TO

learned from an authoritative,
source that friends of Governor
Smith will moke no effort to
change the ml: requiring a two
thirds vote to nominate the candi
date for president at the democrat

The Times which Is friendly to
Srilth. says a survey of the nation
al political situation has convinced
friends' of the governor that there
Is little liklihood of his opponents
getting a block more than a third
dry, anti-Catholic delegates.
The governor's supporters, the
crtlcle continues, believe that agi
tation against the two-thirds would
provoke ill feeling that might pre
vent the governor's election, should
he be nominated, and that It would
be well for the sake of party har
mony to avoid any conflict over the
rule.
