ENGLISH TAX
ACTS IN FORCE
London (Pi Philip Snowden's
emergency taxation measures, pro
ducing $202,500,000 in additional
revenue, went into force Friday as
the British people from Mayfalr to
Ltmehonse cinched up tneir oeue
for the sake of national solvency.
Cabinet members, school teacn-
era, policemen and other govern
ment employes and the unemployed
face with resignation the fact that
their remuneration would be sliced
on October 1 to effect a savings in
administrative expenses of $350,-
160,000. The defense services, edu
cation and the road fund win con
tribute to this figure.
Of all the drastic changes, dis
cussion centered chiefly around the
measure increasing the tax on in
comes to about $1.25 on $5, or 25
per cent. The exemption limit for
married men was reduced from
$1,125 to $750 and for single men
from $675 to $500. Allowances for
children were cut from $300 to $250
for the first child and $250 to $200
for succeeding ones.
The house of commons, after list
ening to Chancellor Snowden's
speech, agreed, to the tax resolu
tions and set next Tuesday lor de
bate on the budget. This is in ac
cordance with custom which dic
tates that the government's budget
proposals must be given immediate
effect and the challenge must come
later.
The labor narty gave notice of a
motion to reject the economy bill
and condemn the government's
scheme to make it effective by or
ders In council, declaring the pro
posals "will deprive the masses of
the necessities of life while others
remain in enjoyment of luxuries
and will aggravate unemployment
by restricting the purchase power
of wage earners."
The people were not certain
whether the Increases in levels on
leaf tobacco and beer would be
passed on to them in the form of
higher prices. Tobacco firms hint
ed that a boost might come on
later consideration and the brewers
called a meeting to decide their
policy.
Judging from the press, the av
erage Britisher has accepted the
increased taxes with a wry face but
the determination to see them
through. Mr. Snowdens stirring
demand for "equal sacrifices for
all'' and his appeal to national
pride apparently found a vital spot
in the country's heart.
MOONSHINE FAILS

Then another large one began to

PAVING PLANT
According to advices received here
L. O. Herrold of Salem has been
awarded a victory in litigation in
Jackson county which declares him
sole owner of a paving plant and
equipment valued at around $40,000
and the decision also involves about
$15,000 extra In cash.
The case came up In Jackson
County as a suit by Herrold against
C. A. Hartley lor an accounting.
Herrold alleged that Hartley was
an employe In the paving and con
tracting business of Herrold and
that under the arrangement Hart
ley was to receive a salary of $208
a month and an undetermined
amount at a bonus.
Hartley set up the contention that
he was a partner in the business,
that he had been received aa such
after hit employment by Herrold
and be wanted half of the profits
and of the plant.
Judge H. D. Norton before whom
the case was tried, has Just decided
In Herrold's favor and declares that
Hartley was an employe at the sal
ary of $200 a month as set up by
Herrold and while he mentions the
bonus states that this- was in an
undetermined amount to be fixed
by Herrold.
The Judge held that the only evi
dence of a partnership having been
set up was the uncorroborated state
ment of the defendant with some
other Indications but that through
out the business was transacted in
such a manner as to Indicate there
was no such partnership and noth
ing of a tangible nature to prove it.
Herrold la well known here not
only as a contractor but he also has
grown considerable mint and other
produce in the LakeLablsh country
and also for a time managed the
extensive Hayes Interests on tne

HISTORY FILMS
NOW PREFERRED
New York (yP) Hollywood It going
historical.
Jack Warner, movie producer, said
Friday that gangster pictures and
other melodramatic productions
featuring the lower strata of so
ciety are being banished to obliv
ion while romantic talkies, portray
ing the life of such august person
sees of history as Napoleon, Queen
Elizabeth, and others, are being pre
pared to take their place.
Warner was In New York on his
way back to California after I
business trip to Europe.
To feel the public pulse and de
tect its reaction to various types
of pictures, Warner revealed, the
movie producers have been using a
nation wide spy system of their
own whereby eavesdropping ushers
and other movie nouse aitacnes note
the comment of audiences aa they
leave the theaters.
It was In Wilt manner together
with the tell-tale statistics of the
box-ofllce receipt that producers
sensed the publics . weariness oi
gangster productions.
Warner frankly waved aside the
suggestion that the producers are
stopping the production of gangster
pictures because tney nave tuaaen
ly awakened to a sense of moral
responsibility.
"Theyre - business men. ne sera,
and lust like business men In
other enterprises they know that to
make money they have to give the
public what It wants."
James Murphy, transient, was ar
rested at noon Friday for being
drunk.
OPPORTUNITY
SCHOOL OPENS
SEPTEMBER 21
The opportunity school, formerly
known as the part-time continua
tion school, will open on Septem
ber 21 In conjunction with the local
public schools.. Opportunity school
has been selected as a more ap
propriate descriptive term for the
classes that enable boys and girls
who are working and find it neces
sary . to- complete their work, who
are not yet 18 years old and who
have not completed their eighth
grade work to continue their educa
tion. The school to assist working boys
and girls in furthering their edu
cation Is a distinctive feature of the
Salem school system and Is made
possible through the cooperation of
the Salem school board with the
state board of vocational education.
The Opportunity school has three
purposes, according to Miss Gert
rude Anderson, the teacher: first,
to continue the education of the
boy or girl who has withdrawn
temporarily or permanently from
full-time school work; second, to
provide the community with a con
tact with the Juvenile worker, to
help tne boy or girl secure employ
ment, keep proper relationship with
his employer and adjust himself
at school, at work and at nome;
and third, to give vocational train
ing and guidance.
The courses offered are business
English, business arithmetic, book
keeping, spelling, penmanship, vo
cational civics, typing and work In
any grade school general course
which might be needed or aettrea.
Special courses have been tewing,
cooking, training for domestic ser
vice and cratt work.
During the school year 1930-31
there were 127 students who took
this opportunity to further their
education. Thirty-one boys and
girls took typing class given twice
a week under the supervision .of a

fore Judge Hill all the morning
rFktay after spending a good share
of the day there Thursday.
Around 75 exhibits already have
been put into the evidence by this
niece many of them bearing on the
property involved.
Many of these letters were from
George J. Moore to Grace Rebecca
Taylor. Mirth ranging from out
right laughter to broad smiles broke
out in the circle of lawyers trying
the case and even extended to the
court himself when one letter from
Moore was read. This letter writ
ten from Jefferson, Oregon to the
niece In Brooklyn carried the hope
from Moore that he could soon set
tle property deals here so he could
Join her In Brooklyn where he
hoped the excitement of the city
would cause him to forget this
"rotten country."
"This it lawyer-cursed coun
try." be declared and It wat this
expression that brought smiles and
laughter from the group of lawyers
retained to make the legal fight
over the wills of the deceased and
hit wife. Moore asserted In the
letter that be expected the lawyers
would be leaving him alone pretty
quick aa he had got to a point
where he didn't have much money
left.
A deed was Introduced into evi
dence showing that Moore tad
deeded certain property to Orace
Rebecca Taylor and letters abo
carried information of other busi
ness deals Including a power of at
torney given by Grace Rebecca
Taylor to Moore allowing sale of
some property and also for the
cleaning up of tome mortgages.
AU of these exhibits went in over
protest of the defense who appear
ing for Mr. and Mrs. . Ennis - D.
Walt of this city and others de
clared them to be immaterial. At
torneya for the three nieces assert
ed they were material at showing

ties and aa showing that Moore
was merely carrying out terms of
an alleged agreement between him
and his wife which the plaintiffs
say wat to the effect Moore was to
receive his wife's property at her ,
death and pas it on to her three
nieces after his death.
The case will probably continue
the balance of this week and may

ter. It Is not known bow long the
defense will consume.
