PRIVILEGE TAX
ON LIQUOR TO
BE SUSTAINED
Although Attorney General I. H,
Van Winkle had not yet prepared a
written opinion on the question of
the retroactive feature of the priv
ilege tax on wines and beer, he in
dicated strongly he would uphold
the statute as passed by the special
session of the 1933 legislature.
The state liquor control commis
sion, through its attorney George
Neuner, requested of the attorney
general his opinion on the act,
staling the Oregon Brewers' associ
ation had protested payment be
cause the act which became effec
tive March 9 provided for collec
tion of the taxes beginning Decem
ber 10, 19o3.
Van Winkle, v. hen first asked if
such an opinion had been requested,
.Mated if he had been arted by the
commission's attorney for such an
pinion it had not been brought to
his attention. At that time, lie said
today, he was thinking of another
request relative to gallonage taxes.
Neuner's request was on file at the
time.
Van Winkle indicated that tne
legislature had previously passed
tax laws which had retroactive ica-
tures, and that there were numer
ous precedents. He implied that
there had been no contract with
wholesale and retail beer and wine
dealers that they were not to be
taxed, and that the only statutes
not retroactive would be criminal
laws. His written opinion may not
be ready by time of the commission
session in Portland tomorrow.
The payments of the pnvilege
taxes were due March 24, out the
commission announced not all pay
ments had been made. The tax
covered the period from December
10 to March 10, althougn the reve
nue measure did not become a law
until March 9, 90 days after ad
journment of the legislature.
The privilege tax Is for 62 cents
a barrel on beer under four per
cent alcoholic volume and $1 a bar
rel on beer over that weight; and on
wines under 14 per cent volume at
the rate of 25 cents a gallon. The
tax is paid but once in the state.

wholesalers or by retailers in the

POLITICAL ISSUE

charges have hauled the brain trust
todav alongside the air mail, tariff

primaries.
Stock exchange and securities
legislation, the AAA and other ad

soeiated with the Roosevelt intel
lectuals will be targets in the brain
Lrmt barrage.
Dr. William A. Wirt's statement
that brain trusters deliberately

lution popped the famous advisory
organization back into the prom
inence of dinner table conversation
Tlie house soon will investigate
the charges of the Gary, Ind., school
superintendent. Both house and

Wirt expose.
Democratic ranks are forming for
a counter attack against the brain
trust raiders. Unless all signs are
mistaken a democratic effort is in

specifically to opposition to the ad

ply, all developed headaches, but
hen aid arrived they were able
to make their way to a temporary
cage and be hauled to the surface
to rejoin their families. A crowd of
,500 persons cheered their appear
ance.
Fire departments from three cit
ies had battled the flames that
broke out at the mine shortly after
noon. After the blaze was extin
guished, heat delayed rescue ef
forts. Finally, however, one rescue
crew went down in an Improvised
cage, and managed to work for 20
minutes. It was replaced by a sec
ond and a third before the im
prisoned men were reached.

row escape when smoke reached
them before they completed the
wall.
A second brattice was erected
400 feet from the entrance, and
third behind it, between them the
men huddled to await rescue, They

ANTELOPE FEEL
CRUEL HAND OF
DESERT PEOPLE
Portland, April 4 (LP) Echoes of
the famous Wagontlre mountain
water war in which the late Mrs. F.
W. Swsnton, head of the Oregon
Humane society, illegally but hu
manely opened desert water holes
to dying cattle with a pair of wire
cutters, were heard at the game
commission office today.
This time it is antelope, Oregon s
last herd of proughoms, which face
wholesale death due to the cutting
off of their meager water supply by
nesters.
The game commission has appeal
ed to all the official powers at
Washington but it is feared that the
red tape in the capital will not be
as quickly efficient as Mrs. Swan
ton's snips.
Complaint was made by Forrest
Cooper, secretary of the Lakevtew
chamber of commerce who said that
two homesteaders, Orval and Leland
Verley, have filed on the two major
water holes of the Lake county high,
plateau. Without access to these
water holes it is feared by Cooper
and by the game officials that tlie
antelope fawns will all die although
a few of the older animals may sur
vive the long summer drought.
Officials said both water holes
were declared public and withdrawn
from entry several years, but the
Lakeview land office allowed the
filings.
Appeals to have the holes opened
were telegraphed to Carl O. Shoe
maker, former Oregon state gama
warden, now secretary of the senate
committee on wild life conservation,
to Thomas H. Beck, secretary of the
president's committee on wild life
restoration, and to J. N. "Ding"
Darling, chief of the U. S. biologic
cat survey.
