NOG PROCESSING
TAX CHANGE MADE
An important change in the hog
regulations under the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, effective Novem
ber 1, 1934, is announced by J. W
Maloney, Collector of Internal Rev
enue for the District of Oregon
which provides when hogs are
slaughtered by hog producers and
feeders, the processing tax will be
paid by them only when they sen
the products direct to consumers.
In all other cases, the tax will be
paid by the first person other than
the hog producer or feeder who per
forms any operation in the receiv
ing, handling or other distribution
of the product. This means if any
retailer, wholesaler, commission
merchant, meat market, restaurant,
hotel, club, hospital or other com
mercial establishment receives, buys
or exchanges any dressed hogs or
narts from a hog nroduccr or feed
er, the first domestic processing is
held to be the initial act performed
by such persons In handling or
preparation for further distribution
o -ruse. Preparation for further dis
tribution or use Includes any oper
ation connected with receiving,
storing, cutting, rendering, etc.
This change affects only hogs
slaughtered by farmers on and after
November 1, 1934. Meat packing
companies, slaughterhouses, custom
killers and all other commercial es
tablishments will continue to pay
the processing tax as formerly on
the live weight of hogs at the time
of slaughter.
AH commercial establishments
will be required to maintain a rec
ord of all pork products handled by
them to show whether they are sub
ject to the tax or whether It has
already been paid by some prior
processor or distributor. Packers
and others selling to Jobbers, re
tailers, etc., arc required to Include
In their invoices a statement certi
fying that the first domestic pro
cessing has been performed by
them, or that they have received a
certificate to this affect from some
prior owner.

STOCKS TOUCH
NEW BOTTOMS
New York, Nov. 16 (IP) Strength
In aviation Issues and weakness in
utilities, notably American Tele

featured a quieter stock market
session today.
American Telephone, sold heavily
was the most active issue. It drop

it made its low for the depression
at 70' ', and in 1929 its record high
at 310 14.

cuse for bears to sell. Reports were
circulated the dividend rate mlKht

TURKEY SUPPLIES
AND DEMAND EQUAL
Portland, Nov. 16 (VP) Turkey de
mand is Increasing but the supply

season. Reports received by local
distributors indicated a huge killing

the records for many years past.
California was taking carload lots
of turkeys daily from this territory.
creating an unusually heavy demand
which was being taken care of by
the larger supplies available.
Prices, however, were firm to
higher. In the country bids for No
1 dressed toms and hens has been
generally advanced lc to 20c pound
while 20c was being freely offered
in Portland with some small lots
taking a premium of lc. Today's
prices showed 17-2'ic for dressed and
16-lGc alive.
Generally firmer to higher trade
conditions and prices were reflected
in turkeys throughout the country,
according to a late department of
agriculture report.

well as the large municipalities.
Despite the excitement attendant
on bringing the session to a dram

"Gov. Mike Conner telegraphed
me today that Mississippi would

ed, so 1 m going to have to go

A few minutes later he was called
into Gov. O. K. Allen's office.
"I want to reward you for the
slight assistance jou have given usJ
at this session." said the governor,
and so ive appointed you a trus
tee of Louisiana State university,
succeeding the late Congressman
Bolivar Kemp. The senate has just
confirmed this appointment."
Long glanced casuallv at the offi
cially signed and scaled document
and put it In his pocket.
A lew minutes later when a dele
gation from the house called on
the governor, the chief executive
remarked:
"With the help of you gentlemen
and Senator Long, the Allen admin
istration is going down as the great
est in the history of Louisiana."

indebtedness against the state li
quor control fund will be sold
here November 26, It was announ
ced by the state treasurer today.
The exact amount of the issue had

The proceeds of the sale will go
to match federal relief funds for

present proceeds of the liquor fund
exceed $250,000 to pay off outstand
ing certificates of that amount
sold previously, the balance would
be turned over to the relief com
mittee to offset the necessary ad
ditional $250,000 requirement. The
new issue would not be in excess of
a quarter million dollars.

following the attorney general's
opinion of yesterday in which it
was slated proceeds of the - liquor
control commission .must flrst be
used to pay outstanding certificates
before distributed to the various
counties for relief.
ALL FUNCTIONS OF
BODY HELP THOUGHT
By using numerous apt illustra
tions to point up his statement that
men and women do not think with
their brains but with all the nerves,
muscles, and glands of the body,
Dean R. R. Hewitt, lecturer for the
the social psychology section of the
Salem Arts league, which met
Thursday night in the auditorium
of the Salem public library, de
veloped an arresting and interest
ing theme.
He pointed out that men and
women acquire their education, or
life training, by means of trial and
error, or imitation. By these means,
he develops reflexes out of his ex
periences. These experiences come
to his brain from sensations arising
in the muscles, in sense organs all
over the body, and in the glands.
And it is by means of these re
flexes that man has acquired his
education.
Emotion, Dean Hewitt declared, is
specialized function of the nerv
ous system and grows out of num
erous reflexes. One of the practi
cal values of a study of psychology
is to enable the individual to clarify
his reflexes.
"Wishes and the Origin of Per
sonality" will be the subject of his
next talk, which will be given on
the night of the third Thursday in
December in the library auditorium.

MOTHER PLANS
FIGHT TO HOLD
BABY HEIRESS
New York, Nov. 16 wv-The tin
explained decision of Supreme Court
Justice John P. Carew in the Van-derbilt-Whitney
legal tilt for the
custody of Gloria Vanderbilt, 10-year-old
heiress, will be appealed
immediately, a spokesman for Mrs.
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, the
child's mother, said today.
Following termination of the
habeas corpus hearing in which
Mrs. Vanderbilt sought to regain
custody of little Gloria from the
child's paternal aunt, Justice Carew
announced he had decided the
young heiress would not have for
the future the kind of life she led
from the death of her father until
June, 1932.
During this period, Gloria was
with her mother.
The Vanderbilt spokesman, who
declined to allow use of his name,
confirmed reports that Justice Ca
rew had decided to allow Mrs.
Whitney to keep the child five days
a week, Mrs. Vanderbilt to have
her Saturdays and Sundays.
This plan, the spokesman dis
closed, is to be followed until Gloria
is 14 years old, when she may de
cide for heiself with whom she will
make her home.
An appeal from Justice Carew's
decision, the spokesman said, will
be filed in the appellate division
within the next few days, and if
Mrs. Vanderbilt is unsuccessful
there, the case will be taken to the
court of appeals.
"We want a final determination
once and for all," he said. "The
compromise the judge made will
result in hostility, antagonism, hate
and the poisoning of the child's
mind against her mother.
"Even the religious Issue is con
fused as Gloria will be in an Epis
copalian (Mrs. Whitney's) home
five days a week and in a Cath
olic home for two days."

Tne president spoke ot the many
"first things" established in this
early western outpost and the crowd
laughed as he remarked the first
corn was raised in Kentucky."
Dressed in a blue suit, Mr. Roose
velt spoke bareheaded.
The text of President Roosevelt's
speech follows:
"Governor Laffoon, my friends of
Kentucky. . .
"We pioneers, of 1934, are come
together today to honor the pion
eers of a century and a half ago.
On my journey hither I have been
reading once more of those thrill
ing days which saw the first peopl
ing of these fair lands beyond the
mountains and seized the perfect
moment which destiny offered to
our iorebearers to create these
United States.
"It seemed to me in reading his
tory that Harrodsburg can lay
claim to having been the scene of
more historical first things than
any other spot I have ever known.
It seems not enough that this de
lightful and historic place was the
first permanent settlement well be
yond the mountains, that here were
the earliest pioneer homes, that
here came the first school teacher
and the first doctor, that here was
the first court in the west. To this
you must add many other firsts,
the first corn raised In Kentucky,
the first peach stones and apple
seeds planted, the first wheat field,
the first grist mill and, perhaps
most important of all, the first
spinning wheel.
That is why I am happy that in
addition to paying tribute to the
memory of George Rogers Clark who
led his men from here to his great
invasion and preservation of the
Inland Empire to the United States,
you are also honoring the men and
women who made his expedition
possible and who followed him with
the permanency of home building.
"It has come to be a generally
accepted rule of civilized nations
that mere discovery of new lands
conveys no sovereignty, and. indeed,
that mere conquest conveys but
little better title. It is, after all.
only the peopling of the wilderness
which gives permanency in the
form of an ordered society,
"There is a very definite analogy
between those days and ours. Upon
the pioneers of these great stretch
es of the central west were forced
new activities because of the cir
cumstances of their surroundings.
They were compelled to hew out n
new path, a path that was depend
ent not on the axe and the rifle
alone, but upon their ability to gov
ern themselves in new ways as well
'To most of the pioneers the
necessities of the new life called
for efforts and experiments to which
they had not been accustomed in
their earlier years in the more ord
ered civilization of the Atlantic
seaboard. Survival Itself demand
ed immediate and new action.
"I have called us who are here
today 'pioneers of 1934.' I mean
everything that the word plneer
implies. We, too, in these latter
years throughout the length and
breadth of our land have come to
a realization of the pregnant fact
that the accustomed order of our
formerly established lives does not
suffice to meet the perils and the
problems which we are compelled
to face. Again, mere survival calls
for new pioneering on our part.
"Some portion of the blood of
the colonists and the blood of the
pioneers who worked their way,
through the generations, across the
mountains and across the plains
and again across the mounlans un
til they came to the Pacific, that
blood is present In very large part
In the veins of millions of our pco'
pie. Move than that, the example
and the spirit of these earlier Am
ericans is present in the mind and
the heart of all our population.
"The events which we here cele
brate were so vital in the extension
of the new nation that it has been
thought proper for congress to com
memorate them not only in the
spirit of gratitude, but in the spirit
of emulation as an example to guide
us in the conquest of new frontiers
of the spirit that are neither physi
cal nor geographical.
We are carrying on, we shall
carry on, the purposes of these men
and women of Harrodsburg. They
were hewing out a commonwealth
and I like that word 'common
wealth.' .
"We, too, are hewing out a com
monwealth a commonwealth of the
states which we hope will give to
Its people more truly than any that
has gone before, the fulfillment of
security, of freedom, of opportunity
ana of happiness which America
asks and is entitled to receive."

sider whether or not the board shall
appropriate $29,000 to pay back sal
aries of circuit judges and state su
