National City bank of New York,
was blamed in the senate Thursday

market collapse while senate lead'

were putting the responsibility on
the doorstep of congress.
Glass, a former secretary of the
treasury, said member banks of the
federal reserve system had nothing
to do with the crash, but "Mr.
Charles E. Mitchell of the National
City bank was the chief offender."
"He is the man," Glass asserted.
"more responsible than all others
together for the excesses that have
resulted in this disaster."

Good Evening!
Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
Joe- Keber, the well known Mt.
Angel banker, was over in Salem
yesterday distributing to a few
friends circulars advertising the
celebration of the completion of the
Qervais-Mt. Angel road, the cele
bration to be held Saturday night.
At the same time Joe attended a
closed door meeting with the coun
ty court at which was discussed
among other things the taxes his
and other county banks have not
paid to the county yet.
We couldn't help but think that
this Gervats-Mt. Angel road lust
completed was improved at a heavy
expense to the county out of the
pockets of the taxpayers.
We don't pretend to know any
thing about law on the subject of
just why the banks that don't pay
their taxes don't pay them or we
don't give a hang. All we know is
that according to the tax rolls some
of them haven't paid for a couple
of years while the rest of the folks
have been pungling up right along.
Maybe as the state banks say it
isn't fair for them not to pay when
the national banks haven t paid
All right, assume that's true. Then
all the rest of us boys who have
to pay our little share can Jump
up and say It Isn't fair for us to
pay when the state banks don't
pay and "keep the magic circle in
tact.
But the banks that haven't paid
have benefited by the taxes that
other people have paid, are benefit
ting right now and will tomorrow
and the next day and so on. Per
sonally It looks like a lot of crust
to us just to hang back and hang
on. And for the benefit of the
bankers we'll say from what we
hear on the street we're not alone
In this matter by a long shot.
Incidentally we wonder about
that secret session Ju't why the
bankers should be preferred and have
their public business talked over in
private. Every taxpayer In the
county Is interested.
When a poor down and outer has
to go on the charity, roll he has
his name published In the papers
every month, Just how much he
get?. But when a banker doesn't
pay his taxes he can talk it over
behind the closed doors in the pri
vate office.
And the boys all shake hands a-
round that nobobdy shall ever know
what happened.
It's a good Idea that this tort of
business be transacted so Uie people
know what's going on. '

TO BE OPPOSED
Washington (LP) Abolition of
compulsory secret session of the
fenato in considering presidential
nominations as a result of United
Press publication of secret roll calls
last winter, will bring a new deal
in selection of government officials,
Senator Black, democrat, Alabama,
said Thursday.
Black pointed to the rejection of
Robert C. Gruwell to be postmaster
at Dillon, Mont., as an example of
the usefulness of open executive
sessions, made possible by a recent
change of rules. He served notice
that efforts to evade civil service
requirements in naming postmasters
would be fought vigorously In open
session hereafter.
"Here we had the case of a man
named by the republican leadership
of the state who obtained an aver
age of only 70 per cent In his civil
service examination," Black said.
"The present occupant of the of
fice had a grade of 62 per cent
witU the five per cent allowance
made for ex-service met. Yet the
postoffice department recommend
ed the other man.
"Heretofore we have been unable
to prevent confirmation of such
appointments because the nomina
tions were considered in secret ses

ASKS HILL LINE
TO USE ESPEE
ALTURAS ROAD
San Francisco iff) The state of
Nevada Thursday invited the Great
Northern and Western Pacific rail
roads to connect their lines by
making use of the Southern Pa
cific's Alturas branch diverting
tramc irom tne. western racmc at
Flanigan, Nev., northward to con
nect with the Great Northern sys
tem at Kiamath Falls, Ore.
The proposition was made by
John F. Shaughnessy, chairman of
the railroad and public service com
mission of Nevada. It came in the
closing minutes of the morning ses
sion of the interstate commerce
commission hearing into the neces
sity of the proposed construction by
the Great Northern ana western
Pacific of a line from Klamath Falls
to Keddie, Calif.
Nevada, one of the interveners
opposing the Klamath Falls-Keddie
line, followed the cross examination
of A. G. Mott. chief engineer of the
California railroad commission.
Mott was questioned by E. J. Foulds,
Southern Pacific attorney, on a
series of maps and charts intro
duced several days ago. He said his
conclusion that the Shasta route
of the Southern Pacific would have
to be doubled tracked by 1936 or
1937 from Geber, Calif., to Eugene,
Ore., was based on the Southern
Pacific's action In double tracking
in Ogden route. Asked by Foulds
if he did not think the Southern
Pacific's Black Butte-Klamath
Falls line would be used to relieve
traffic on the Shasta route, Mott
replied:
"I would be surprised if the
Southern Pacific did that. The
management is. too careful of op
erating economy to move much
freight over that winding line with
heavy grades."

San Francisco (IP) A sudden un

northern California railroad build

The Indian valley Kanway com

$485,000 would be made useless if
the Western Pacific should build Its
proposed line. The condition of his
railroad is good, It serves its terri

build branches to serve the sur
