report estimating coats (or bring lug
mountain water to Salem or dta
trUmUDff It from the Willamette
river through a city-owned plant.
got no farther in the city council
meetfag Monday night than being
referred to the public utilities com
mittee-.
Nothing was said about an ad
Journcd meeting for preliminary ac
tion towards placing a water bond
Issue before the people for a vote in
the fait There was a rather distinct
understanding that J. C. Baar, the
engineer meet active In preparing
the report would address the coun
cil after other business had been
transacted, but by tliat time the
members apparently were too tired
and adjourned regardless of a de
mand by Alderman Vandevort that
Baar be beard.
That nothing was said about
early election was probably due
Indications that there was going
be some pretty strong opposition.
Alderman Pat ton had Intimated
that he was going to make
stralght-from-the-sheulder talk, but
at it turned out it wasn't necessary
for Pattoa or anyone else to make
more than mud objections.
In starting the argument Mayor
Gregory simply remarked "that he
had observed that the people of tha
city were very anxious to get a
chance to vote on the question. He
urged that Baar be given the priv
ilege of the floor to explain his report.
To this Pat ton replied that the
procedure wasn t proper, and that
the correct way to handle the mat
ter was to refer the report to the
utilities committee and allow It
report back to the council.
"This Is a subject on which every
member should be thoroughly In
formed," Pattoa said. "I have no ob
jection to Mr. Baar talking, but
don't see any me in it." Patton
made it clear that he was for
municipal ownership.
Gregory-replied that he wanted
every member to be Informed, which
was the reason he wanted Baar
speak. "The question is so import
ant that it Isn't amiss for every
member to be accurately informed,
Gregory said.
Paeton moved that the report be
referred to the committee and Dan-
cy seconded the motion. Hughes was
In favor of the motion but
wanted to hear Baar.
Alderman Townsend wanted
know by what authority the Investi
gation was made, and the mayor
read raom the report citing a resolu
tion of the city council.
"What arrangements were made
for the compensation of the engin
eers?" Townsend asked.
No one seemed to be able to an
swer this question satisfactorily.
Patton's motion to retcr to the re
port to the committee carried. Dan-
cy moved that the council proceed
with other business and take ap the
water question further . aftea. that.
Bat it wasnt taken lip again.
ALLEY VACATION
ISSUE DEFERRED
The quaitluu whether the ctty
shall vacate a portion of an alley In
Mock 1 of Compton s addition Nov
ht North Salem near the river, as
sumed much importance when an
ordinance providing for It cam on
for final action at the city council
meeting Monday night. The street
committee turned in a report rec
ommending that it be Indefinitely
postponed, but actkm was deferred
vntll the next meeting.
Contending in favor of the vaca
tion were mainly two women prop
erty owners and their attorney,
Ronald C. Glover, while opposing It
was a petition headed by Zero Pol
lalre. Glover. Mrs. Effle Back, one
of his clients, and Pollalre all spoke
oo the ordinance.
Glover said the strip of ground
Involved never hsd been used as an
alley, and that one reason lor ask
ing the vacation was that the prop
erty owners might grow trees whose
roots would serve to keep the river
from washing away the bank of
the stream each yrnr nnd thereby
damaging their premises.
Pollalre declared that neither of
the two women live in the district.
One, he satd, lives In California and
the other In East Salem. He said
that lie makes daily use of the al
ley In moving his farming Implements.

(To Be Continued)
SUPREME COURT
Washington oj-) Although a treat
many years have passed since the
Income tax laws of tha nation were
enacted the supreme court still finds
tnem nsponsiMe for a large ahart
of tha questions presented each year
lor aeosjoow
Seldom do the rulings It
nra s response Drove of wide
spread effect, as they have their In
ception rather tn the Intricacies of
modem business which, often as the
result of an attempt to reduce tax
payments, creates some eomslex
situations xor tne court ot deal with.
raring the session Just ended the
moat important of the income tax
decisions handed down by the trib
unal cost the government close to
suw.ow.om u income. This was In
a aeries of cases involving the right
of the taxing authorities to force
married men to pay the entire tax
on community incomes.
Strangely enough this ruling.
which held the husband and wife
might file separata returns for one
halt of their Joint Income, was made
possible by the ancient legal prac
tices brought to the southwest by
the Spaniards early In the country's
development.
These laws, to which the modern
state laws are the successors, held
that each of the married pair shared
equally In all Income derived by
either or both after marriage. Such
laws exist In Washington, Texas,
Louisiana, Arizona, Idaho. Nevada
and New Mexico.
In order to obtain a final ruling
to determine whether married per
sons In these states might have an
advantage which residents of other
states do not enjoy brought test
from each ot the first four
states.
The decision affects only persons
paying taxes In the higher brackets,
as they are thereby entitled to re
ceive a much larger amount before
tney encounter tne higher
fixed for larfje Incomes.
. It Is anticipated that some legis
lative method for remedying the
discrepancy developed by the court
may be sought at the coming Cm
gress session.
In another tax decision the court
ruled that income derived from en
hancement in the value ot the state
and municipal securities was liable
to the federal Income tax. The lower
court had ruled such a tax Impost
tlon was unconstitutional since it
appeared to burden the state's bor
rowing power.
In the case of the Indian Motor
cycle company against the United
States the court ruled that the mo
tor vehicle sales tax could not be
Imposed on sales to towns or cities
of vehicles for police use.
