Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON ENTIRE TRADE UNSETTLED ON PACIFIC SLOPE Portland, Jan. 13 (iP)-Forced weakness and recent price reduction In butler have combined to unsettle the entire trade here and along the Pacific slope generally. No further price change was suggested In the open market trade for either cube or print offerings. Market for eggs continues under pressure here with no change In open values, receipts continue to In crease. Dnily cleanup of live chicken cup plies here Is reported by leading handlers although some pressure against spring ducks is reported with latest sales around 17 cents pound. Prhes In the market for country killed meats are well held although late receipts of veal have shown a very considerable increase. No price change is shown for the day with lambs mostly 10-1 1 cents pound. While the report of a combination of growers at Labish to advance the price of onions there has been received here, buyers claim they are getting their requirements at 50c and sacks. China continues to pur- elnrc bulk of the business. FWrt prices are again reported for Columbia river smelt as a re suit of the agreement of gillnetters to operate only about half time and thrreby starve the market. Sales me being made up to $2.25 per 50 lb. box. Very scant supplies of fresh sal mon are shown here. Only a few et eel heads are arriving from the Co lumbia; and selling quickly 14c lb. Orders sent by Portland whole salers for summer rhubarb are gen erally unfilled on account of the small supply there but some pod dlers are getting their needs. The price Is firm. Presh carbs are very scarce. Jap oranges are a drug on the market and wholesalers arc taking a wallop. Mexican tomatoes appear a "frost" and Importers are facing a big loss on the first 100 cars which have not ripened as yet. Hothouse tomatoes are firmly held at late top prices. Potatoes renin in sluggish with the chief demand for 2s. CB'O DEOP WITH HOI! By CLAYTON V. BEIINHARD (Associated Press Staff Writer) Introduction of 54 bills in addition to a score of resolutions and mem orials, one heated debate and ft larjro vote to sustain the governor's veto were the official results of the first week of the Oregon legislature, but the biggest events were detected unoificlally when the breach be tween the governor and slate treas urer was widened, open hosltllitles begun between the two, and the first detection of approaching punch-packed legislation. Members of both houses today had a breathing spell after almost ten days continuous session, including the special assembly activities which started January 3. And the sum total of actual accomplishment on the surface would appear to be one week of regular session to undo the entire proceedings of the special session. But under the surface a great deal has been done In legisla tive procedure. Taxation matters featured the new bills introduced in the house, where 38 of the 54 proposals appeared. A three per cent general sales tax exempting small home owners and a yield tax proposal on timber were among the major suggested acts, a selective sales tax on tobacco, molt and cosmetics also made Its ap pearance as well as a measure to double the present Income tax rates and reduce the exemptions. None of these measures have come out oi committees. Olher house bills include the re duction of small loan interest and cbnnres In the pawnbrokers rej;u Jntinns. A public hearing on these bMls was set for Tuesday night of; nxt week. One of the high lights j of the first week was the hearinci accorded the so-called "huneer marchers." Failure of the governor to deliver ft biennial increase at tlir ; opening of the session was also pJrrcd In the unique category. Automobile legislation also came to the fore with a senate bill pro posing a $5 license fee for automo biles. Bills In the two houses de cbrrd for reductions in county sal aries ftiid expenses of county offi cials. Consolidation of finances of state boards and commissions with the general fund and force these commissions to appear before the state legislature for appropriations h.T. been proposed. But during all this activity the ways and means commlttees have started to work on the big task of pruning the budtrct, and most mem bers have settled down to start at-, the business at the beginning of the second week. And during this week will see some Important legis-i Tut ion introduced.

SALARY CUTS Dallas, Jan. 13 The combined forces of the county court and the executive committee of the Polk County Tax Payers league met in the court house Friday to discuss the situation in regard to the coun ty budget lor the year. In opening the meeting Judge Huwkins stated Uiat the levying board expected to abide by the bud get as approved at the public hear ing, .but that they were unwilling to accept the sum of $100,000 brack eted against the estimated collection of the delinquent taxes, pointing out that the county last year received only 54 percent of the delinquent taxes collected, the balance going to schools and cities. R. W. Hong, In reviewing this particular item, was emphatic In saying that if the budget was raised taxes would not be pnid. R. M. Walker suggested that the percent age of delinquent taxes collected in the past year should be used as basis for the amount estimated in this item in the new budget. H. O. Black supplied figures showing the various road districts percentage of unpaid taxes for the past year as of December l. Walker commended the people of Polk county for the attitude dis played at the county tax meetings and also stated that considerable criticism was being directed toward the county court in regard to the county engineer and his assistants, the road crew and the county re pair shop. He thought that all coun ty of fic in Is should accept a volun tary cut in their salaries. C. J. Dc Armonde wants salary slashes so that everyone would re alize existing conditions. The only motion made during the morning was made by R. M. Walker, who moved that the estimated receipts from delinquent taxes be reduced by 11 percent, and that the salaries oi county employes be reduced and that county officials be asked to take a voluntary cut In their sal aries. The meeting adjourned at noon until 1 o'clock. Salem Markets Compiled from reports of Sa lem dealer!), for the guidance of Capital Journal readers. (Revised Daily).

GO IDLE PLAH TO MARCH London, Jan. 13 (LP) Plans for the greatest demonstration of un employed In British history, far greater than the recent "hunger march" that disorganized London's existence for nine days, were an nounced today. Organizers of the demonstration expected that 100,000 persons would assemble to protest the policies of the national government, especially regarding unemployment relief. The demonstration will be held in Hyde Park February 8, the day after parliament reassembles after the Christmas recess and just as the house ol commons atarta consider ing business which will vitally af fect the welfare of the nation's 15, 000,000 wage earners. Leaders of the national council of the trades union congress, rep resenting 4,500,000 trades unionists; the cooperative movement, with a combined membership of 7,000,000; and the labor party with a member ship of 3,500,000 combined in plan ning the demonstration. Several thousand police, perhaps as many as 10,000, will be detailed for special duty throughout greater London. Volunteer police may be mobilized for traffic duty. Contin gents of workers, unemployed of all trades, and farmers will march from all parts of London to the Thames embankment, where brass bands will lead the parade to Hyde Park. Two months ago the "hunger march" disorganized London for nine days and put the city s fam ous police force to a severe test. Coming so soon after a series of dis orders and mufis demonstrations, the February protest was taken as substantiation of the laborites' pre diction that the winter would marked by violence and disorder unless unemployed receive more adequate relief. The official protest of the dem onstration will be embodied In ft resolution to be submitted to the Hyde Park throng after 24 speakers simultaneously denounce the gov ernment. The resolution will be adopted by acclamation and sent to Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon- aid, according to present plans.

Many growers who were reluctant to sign the contracts Wed nesday night are said to be falling in line, after taking home copies ol the organization plan, which ap peared lengthy and intricate the niirht of the meeting. An effort to conscript at kaj-t 85 per cent of the remaining crop Is being made and indications are (hat the organization will be functioning by Monday morning. If such Is the case, growers may go to the office of the organiza tion In the Hayes warehouse at Brooks and list their names and the amount of their crop they wi&h to sell on a mulcting before fl o'clock Monday: the price being previously set by the group of directors. Buy ers will buy direct from growers. Listings may be made aRain by growers before 9 o'clock Thursday morning and any onions listed Mon day that are not cold by Thurs day will have first chance on the latter bulletin. Growers may with draw listings at any time. Only one man will be employed by the organization, and his salary will be merely deducting $1 from the glowers chtck for each carload. The contract also contains a clause designed to protect buyers from small peddlers. Growers must charge the latter 10 cents a hundred move than the fixed price.

Continuation of- JAPS CAPTURE (from page one) war into the enemy's camp on the northern and eastern borders of Jehol, far north of the great wall. Thirty thousand guerillas, Includ ing detachments of the fighting "bug swords," raided Japanese bas es, transports and communications from Taonan, near the northeastern extremity of Jehol, to Suichung, on the Jehol border 175 mUes south. Peiping and Tientsin and the area south of the wall generally were quiet, unaffected by repercussions of the guerilla fighting north of the wall. The Japanese legation here an nounced that Lieut. Gen. Kotaro Nakamura, local Japanese comman der had telephoned, declaring Shih ho, Shanhaikwan and Chingwang tao quiet, with neither negotiations nor hostilities in progress. Shanghai, Jan. 13 (LP) A move ment to intensify the boycott against Japanese goods one of the chiei causes of the Japanese attack on Shanghai a year ago was started today by the greater Shanghai chamber of commerce. The chamber circularized commer cial and industrial guilds, urging strict enforcement of the boycott resolutions adopted after the Jap anese occupation of Mukden, Man churia, In 1031. Continuation of DEBATE INFLATION (from page one) a bill to create an auxiliary mone tary reserve of Silver against which silver currency would be Issued. The battle for Inflation as op posed to the milder "bankruptcy bill" flared up on the house today with Representative Busby, demo crat, Mississippi, a leader among southern democrats championing the $3,000,000,000 currency expan sion proposal. Busby urged inflation "to help an the people" and said the Laugar- dia-McKeown bankruptcy bill would extent its aid chiefly to great cor porations. "When you Issue new currency," Busby said, "it keeps in circulation and solves your problem because It docs not come back. "We would pay four per cent In terest to the banks if we issued the bonds to them," he said. "The bonds carrying one per cent interest would be sold to the federal reserve. They would be backed by gold r-s good as any currency you could have." Busby declared that at present a large amount of money is in circu lation "without one cent of gold" back of it. Chairman Somers said he had in vited bankers, economists, and monetary experts to testify before the house coinage committee on the silver auxiliary bill. He said his bill would be so drawn as to assure "maintenance of the gold standard," but would aid "in securing a normal and stable com modity price level.'

Martin were ordered cut today from 10 to 25 ierccnt as one of the first official acts of the new executive in earning out his campaign pledge of rhid economy. Only directorships of various de partments were not slashed, the governor indicating he would with hold action until certain new ap pointments were made. All employes under direct supervi sion of the governor receiving $lf0 or more monthly were cuts 25 iwr cent. Thore ranging between $100 and $150 were cut 20 percent; those from $00 to $100 were (rimmed 16 percent and ail under $60 were cut 10 percent. The cut was an emerg ency measure and will be effective for the Inst hnlf of this month. All department heads were or dered to eliminate unnecessary Job.s and were directed by the governor to make a survey and report soon on other economics that can be car ried out. Governor Martin indicated Die budpet would be revised and slash ed. He Indicated that he would an nounce the new state game com mission personnel tomorrow. Continuation of- POLITICS "from pace one) of a sales levy. The state budget as prepared by Budget Director Kanzen is going to be scrutinized closely by the ways and means committee, but reduc tions exceeding $500,000 are not reasonably to be expected. Several items completely eliminated from the budget by Hanz.cn, particularly those relating to matters effecting ex-service men, will probably bo re instated. Higher education will suf fer further pruning, the national guard will be deprived of a few thousand dollars-twhlch they never expected to geO, farm experiment stations may be transferred to come under the general budget of the board of hither education, and there will be some salary reductions and adjustments. As predicted by some of its vet eran numbers who have been through the same mil! many limes, the "haid-boilcd" ways and means committee will not be nearly as hard boiled as they expect when they write their final reports. Politics, instead of being adjourn ed, v ill be a lively factor and will be reflected in several directions, as has already been indicated. Already talk has been heard by members of both houses that the budget is ko ing to put them in a political hole before they get through with it. They admit that it is the best bud get ever presented to them, that most of its recommendations are sound and sensible from a purely academic standpoint, but they sus pect that some of the reductions and eliminations were recommend ed with a full understanding that the known workings of practical politics and legislative manipula tion would make it impossible for the legislature to follow the recom mendations. They have visions of going home to be greeted with p:)st -session headlines proclaiming to the world that the legislature repudiated Governor Meier's retrenchment pro gramthat appropriations exceed available revenues. That Is one of the factors which is militating against a full under standing and cooperative effort be tween the governor and the two houses in working out a financial program. The bugaboo of politics also Is seen in the caution with which the lawmakers approach the tales tax proposal. They are not yet entirely satisfied that the governor did not intentionally call them into special session with the full expectation that they would get themselves into the tangle they did In a few days and then be forced to turn to his sales tax suggestion as the only way out. A spirit of sufpU-ion Mill nre- ThU will FLOCK THT Yesir Dsakr has Entry Blanks vndes the atmosphere, although Um governor's series of conferences with senate and house members over the veto of the property tax bill went a long way toward smoothing that out. There was Just one adverse reac tion to the conferences over Hie tax repeal veto. That came when press dispatches referring to U conferences credited members with asking the executive to veto repeal of the property tax and admitting that they had made a mistake. Most of the members feel that it waa the governor who made the mis lake in the first place In calling the special session. But -they are evidencing a willingness to overlook the past and Join In a concerted ef fort to solve the tax problem now. The political animosity existing between Governor Meier and Rufus Holman and the manner, in which both are injecting it into legisla tive affairs is also disturbing to meet of the lawmakers, and they will approach all matters in which the governor or treasurer are in terested with caution, least thry become Involved in what they con- sldcr to be a personal scrap. Warfare between the two has be come a recognized condition since Governor Meier branded Holman'a suggested bill to place the state on a warrant basis as an "asinine Idea," and vetoed and sent It back to the house with the comment that it was not an administration mea sure. The spark that ignited the dyna mite and resulted in circulation ot the so-culled Holman program for a house -cleaning of those depart ments in which the state treasurer lias been denied a controlling hand was the manner in which the gov ernor Ignored Holman during the tax conferences this week. Hal E. Hors, secretary of state, was in at tendance; so were members of the tax commission; so was the budget director, but not Holman. To rub salt Into the sore Pied invited to sit in and the invitation PmiIus, Hoi man's chief deputy, was v.o-5 extended without consulting Holman. Another evidence of politics that may gum things up to some extent is the opinion held by some of the legislators that to offset Holman s supposed ambitions to succeed Gov ernor Meier as governor the ad ministration Is fostering the candi dacy of Judge Charles M. Thomas, public utilities commissioner. Rais ed eyebrows greeted the news today that Thomas was offering to the legislature a bill embodying n dras tic plan of public utility regulation. Particular significance was attach ed to the announcement because of the manner in which it was timed. It came almost simultaneously with the circulation of the Holman pro gram. That Governor Meier will prob nbly have more to say concerning Holman, his office and his progrnm all of it more delicately stated than was Holinan's blunt pronoun cementis indicated in the under standing that the executive will probably have one and perhaps two more messages to present to the Eolons, The first of them is ex pected early this week. It is generally anticipated that from now on Governor Meier will work actively with the leaders of both houses in drafting a program of tax relief, which will consist chiefly of whipping into shape some kind of a sales tax bill that Is acceptible to a majority of the members of both houses. He has made this much progress he haa converted a majority of the mem bers to the idea that a sales tax 1 a necessary, but there are too many idea prevailing of what form such tax should take. The battle over the sales tax will be hot. Already the grange, tho farmers union, the state federation of labor, the railroad brotherhood and other organizations have in vaded the lobby and the press to oppose it. Another heated controversy will sure arise out of the question of truck and bus regulation and tax ation with the railroad executives and employees united to force dras tic action. One bill Is known to have been prepared by the truck and bus interests already which makes certain concessions and accepts the principal that they should pay more. It will likely be introduced In the house soon by an attorney for their organization, , . aat- Mt.
