ANDERSON PLAN
LESSENS CRIME
Richmond. Va. (LP) Col. Henry
W. Anderson, author of a proposed
government control plan In the
Wickersham report annex believes
his project "would take profits of
$2,000,000,000 to $3,000,000,000 a year
from the pockets of criminals and
permit the government to eradicate
crime instead of letting the crim
inal use It to build up crime."
The bootlegger could not com
pete with government control be
cause he couldn't meet Its price,'
said Anderson, who was one of the
Wickersham commissioners voting
for revision of the 18th amendment.
"With the bootlegger eliminated.
there would be no illicit sales. Con
scqtiently, It would benefit the
youth under 18 years of age because
under the plan he could not buy
liquor.
"Restrictions around the sale of
adults would be sufficient to reduce
drinking to a minimum."
Anderson believes the plan would
improve general conditions through
out the nation, especially among
workers. Prohibition, he believes,
has not lessened the demand for
liquor, and never will.
SOUTH AMERICAN
BONDS SAFE-HEWITT
Repudiation of bonds by South
American countries Is not likely,
Dean Roy R. Hewitt of tlie law
department of Willamette univer
sity said Wednesday in telling Ho
tarians of his recent visit to the
continent to the south, the third
of a series of talks given to ser
vice clubs of the city within the
past two weeks. Dean Hewitt gave '
m his reason for advancing the I
theory the fact that the countries
down there need the credit and that!
natural resources are apparently
unlimited. An influx of Germans.
Italians and other people of Eu
rope will help them stabilize mat-1
ters. the speaker said.
Although the people of the South
American republics are intensely
patriotic, even to the point of be
ing foolish, their revolutions are
short lived and eoon forgotten.
Hewitt dubbed the South Ameri
cans as the "poorest sports In the
world" Illustrating this statement
by describing the scene attendant
upon an International football
game. Twenty thousand weapons
wore taken from fans on their way
to the game, he said.
Business men of South America
are extremely polite and are not
in such a hurry as are their broth
ers In the United States, Hewitt
added, saying they always have
plenty of time to tfUk and show
v 15 1 tors about.
The measure providing for the
closing of Klamath county offices
at noon Saturdays, requested by
Klamath officials and Introduced
by the delegation from that county,
was rereferred by the house Wed
nesday to the committee on cities

SOVIET AGENT

mendations that reports from the
house press gallery of Laurence
Todd, representative of the Feder
ated Press, be carefully scrutinised.
have been laid before the house In
the report of the Fish communist
Investigating committee.
The Federated press, organized
In 1916," the report said, "aims to
furnish Information to the radical
press of the country. Including
communist newspapers. Its main
clients are either advanced social
ist papers, radical labor units, or
communist or other revolutionary
papers."
Todd was recently tn the news
here as the one who charged B. J.
Adams, attorney for the federal
trades commission, with attempt
ing to bring about sale of the Eu
gene power plant to the "power
trust." The charges, Todd said,
were based on a letter alleged to
have been written by F. M. Ben
nett, Identified with the Eugene
water board. Adams Is a former
state highway commissioner of
Oregon.
Todd was later quoted as having
admitted to the trade commission
he had nothing to base his charges
upon except the Bennett letter,
and that he had no first hand In
formation.
The Fish report said the Feder
ated press "maintains a substan
tial organization and covers the
United States and has connection
with radical newspapers In for
eign countries."
"It has received approximately
$5,000 annually from the Garland
fund," the report declares.
RETIRES JUDGES
AT AGE GF 70
Voluntary retirement of judges
on full pay at the age of 70 'a pro
vided for in a group of bills per
tatning to the judiciary and Ju
dicial procedure which Senator
Crawford has ready for Introduc
tion. Another of the measures pro
vides for a state judicial council
of 15 members, five Judges, five law
yers and five laymen, Instead of
the present council of five Judges.
The retirement bill applies to
supreme and circuit court Judges
who have served continuously for
15 years as supreme or circuit
court Judges or attorney general.
The enlarged judicial council
would be appointed by the chief
Justice. Among the five Judges
serving would be the chief Justice
himself, one associate justice and
three other judges of courts of rec
ord. The theory of naming five
laymen, It was said, is that they
would serve as a "leavening influ
ence."
Other provisions of the group of
bills are:
Amending the law relative to dis
barment proceedinB.1 to make It
clearer and more definite, and pro
hibiting publicity until the charges
reach the supreme court.

MILLER PLANS
BILL PROVIDING
FOR SALES TAX
After a conference Tuesday with
Oovernor Meier, Senator Miller ot
Josephine county believes the gov
ernor will be sympathetic towards a
program of state promotion mea
sures that Miller hopes to Intro
duce at tills session of the legisla
ture. Miller's program Is for th
purpose of placing Oregon's scen
ery, game and other outdoor at
tractions before the country In such
a way that the state will get the
advantage of tourist traffic that he
believes Its resources Justify.
Before the state can go as far as
it should In promotion, however.
Miller declares the system of taxa
tion must be revised, and be be
lieves taxation is the biggest prob
lem before the legislature. He
thinks the excise and Income tax
acts, and the Intangibles tax. If it
Is re-enacted are not adequate to
relieve real property taxation as
they should, and Senator Miller
would be one of the sponsors ot a
.sales or consumption tax that la
now being prepared.
"It la Imperative, said Miller,
"that adequate provision be made
not only to take care of the needs
of the state institutions, but to wipe
qut the state's deficit. Further, an
adequate financial plan should pro
vide for a surplus or reserve, built
up as the years go by, totake care
of emergencies."
Relative to state promotion Miller
said:
"There Is a feeling over the state
that we should have a movement
for conservation of game and wild
life. The present came commission
has gone far towards outlining a
program over a period cf years. But
the most constructive part of -the
program, which I am preparing to
write into the game code, is a sur
vey of the wild life and other out
door attractions. This has the ap
proval of the game commission. It
should include the services of an
engineer who could devise a meth
od whereby young salmon, passing
down the Willamette, Rogue and
other rivers after the spawning
season, would not be killed on the
way. It la estimated that 50 or 60
per cent of the young fish passing
down the Willamette are killed in
the turbines at Oregon City."
Senator Miller also has in mind
a measure providing for a state
economic geological engineer to
carry further the mineral survey al
ready begun. Another contemplated
measure is based on the possibility
that oil will be struck In Oregon,
This will be a well-drilling code.
Miller says the oil prospect In Ore
gon Is encouraging.
