LEVINSKY GETS
TITLE CHANCE
Chicago, Dec. 27 (Pi Max Baer
tomorrow night will do something
no other boxing champion ever
dared to do by risking his heavy
weight crown In a four round match
against King Levinsky, Chicago's
wild swinging fish peddler, at the
Chicago stadium.
At the request of the champion,
six ounce gloves will be used and,
while no decision will be made I:
the battle goes four rounds, the ref
eree will count out either fighter li
he absorbs a knockout punch. Thus.
If Levinsky should fell Baer for the
count, the klngflsh would win the
title.
Never before has any ring cham
pion risked his title under such con
ditions. Other tlWeholders took pre
caution to have such matches la
belled as exhibitions to safeguard
their crown. And in those instances,
their opponents almost always were
fourth or fifth raters.
But Baer had no outward worries.
"Levinsky Is a good fighter, but
he couldn't beat me, let alone reg
ister a knockdown, in 30 rounds,'
said Max. "How can he do It In
four?"
PROFESOSRS IN
UNUSUAL ROLES
"So This Is London," by Arthur
Goodrich, the play which the WU
lamette university faculty Is pre'
sentlng In the Salem high school
auQitorium, January 9, gives the
members of the faculty unusual op
portunities to express phases of
their characters usually kept hid
den, Prof. E. S. Oliver, In charge
of publicity for the production,
stated today. "Who would not want
to see the dean of women depart
from following the dictates of Emily
Post for a short time? Or who
would not delight to see Willam
ette's professor of economics bur
lesquing the go-getter American
business man? In the second act
of "So This is London," Miss Olive
M. Dahl, dean of women, playing
Mrs. Hiram Draper and William C,
Jones, professor of economics, play-
ng Hiram Draper, Sr., put on
scene which should have the cus
tomers rolling In the aisles when
they interpret the typical English
conception of the newly-rich, un-
cultured American business man
and his wife. Both actors put spirit
and force Into this caricature. It
is the only one of the many fine bits
of acting which will go to make
this play even more successful than
was "The Thirteenth Chair," which
the faculty presented to a full house
three years ago.
Miss Leila Johnson, director, re
ports that the whole cast is
spondlng in great shape. With the
first two acts learned, they are this
week turning their attention to the
third.
Reserved seats for "So This is
London" will be on sale January
8 and 9 at the Central pharmacy.

Californian Seeks

LICENSE PLATE
RULING RAPPED
Much inconvenience and annoy
ance is caused business men, say
some of them, by the ruling of state
authorities that new motor vehicle
license plates must be on all cars by
January 1. The complaint is made
particularly with reference to trucks
and other vehicles used for delivery
of goods or otherwise in the firm's
business.
It Is declared that paying in 1934
for 1935 license plates throws out of
joint the bookkeeping systems of
many businesses, since the Item Is
often a large one because of the
number of vehicles owned by a sin
gle concern. The expense properly
belongs, It is said, In the 1936 ac
counts. The last week or two of the year
Is a busy and expensive time for
business men, they declare, when big
expense items normally falling at
that time have to be met. This, they
think, is an added reason why the
item of motor vehicle licenses for
any year should go on the books for
that year and not the previous year.
The suggestion Is made that lee
way until January 15, or better, to
February 1, should be given. As the
law Is now applied licenses must be
on the vehicles by January 1 or the
owners must submit to arrest.
In behalf of the general public the
Dusiness men remind the state offi
cials that people are probably short
er of money the week after Christ
mas than at any other time of the
year.
OREGON LOW IN
OFFICIAL COST
Oregon ranked second in the m.

South Dakota was first among the

salaries and operating expenses of
the state at the last session of the
legislature made a 31.64 per cent
reduction, the commission figured.
Although the pronertv tax bur
den decreased almost S9.000.ooo dur-
in gthe four years, the cut was by
no means unuorm as between the
state, counties, cities, schools and
other spending agencies.
county expenditures, in fact
showed an Increase of more than
$1,000,000 duo chiefly to relief and
oia age pensions.
A total of 40.60 per cent of the
tax dollar was spent on educaton.
cities took 22.86 per cent, counties
u.i per cent, roads 10.05 and the
state 7.55, the commission said.
Automobile license fees and aas-
ollne taxes are not bearlnc the
entire tax burden for roads, figures
snowca. Property Is still paying
more man h.uuu.ixju lor highways,
the commission declared.
Elimination of the market road
tax which required counties to
match the state market road mon-
yes, and the abolition of all local
road districts which had power to
lvey special road taxes brought re
ductions there. Port districts cut
their expenditures 5" per cent.
education costs were cut only 15
per cent and cities reduced their
outgo only 13 per cent, both poor
snowings ocing due to previous in
debtedness, the commission said.

Attorney W M. TrinHlo th
entered, probably this afternoon. In
which the judgment in justice
court against Fisk is set aside on ap
peal and canceled and the lesser
degree of reckless driving entered in
its stead with imposition of the $25
line.
Winslow declared that in justice
court the trial against Fisk was
never completed; that some argu
ment came up with the court and
the court told the attorneys they
couia laxe a cnange or venue If not
satisfied. The upshot was. said
Winslow. that he did not wish to
attempt the procedure of a change
of venue In justice court and he told
the court to go ahead and enter
judgment and he would take an aD-
peal to circuit court for Fisk. This
was done, he said.
The accident in which Fisk was
involved occurred about 11:20
ociock tne night of Sunday. De-
cember 16, according to Sheriff
Burk who made the arrest. The El-
sinore theater had Just let out It
last night customers a short .time
before and many were still on the
street.
The sheriff said he was driving
nis own car and heard a commotion
up the street and hurried to find
out what had happened.
He said Fisk was lolling in his car
apparently under the influence of
intoxicants and the sheriff said he
had difficulty In understanding
what Fisk attempted to eay. The
sheriff said Fisk's car had crashed
Into a car driven by L. a. Mitchell
who operates a radio atore on High
street. The Mitchell car he said was
tnrown against a parking time limit
sign which was badly bent and still
shows effects of the blow. A tender
and the bumper on Mitchell's car
was broken and the sheriff said Fisk
hurried the next morning to see
tney were repaired.
'Fisk was In such a condition I
had to assist him to the court
house," said the sheriff. "I called In
Dr. Douglas who pronounced the
man Intoxicated. But to be fair and
certain Dr. Fortner was also called
In and he repeated the diagnosis.
"The next morning I went to lus-
tice court and swore out a drunken
driving charge against Fisk. There
has been plenty of pressure brought
to bear on me since from prominent
Salem men, men from Portland. Al
bany, men working along the river
and from other points who came
here to see me and endeavor to get
the charge reduced to reckless driv
ing what I saw and helping Fisk
charge to reckless driving after see
ing what I saw and helping Fisk
over to the courthouse lawn that
night."
The sheriff Bald Fisk Is a timber
cruiser employed by the Doernbech
er Furniture company in Portland
and surely has a large circle of
friends from the number who ral
lied around.
W. C. Winslow, attorney for Fisk.
told the court when Fisk was up
yesterday for consideration that
Fisk had had but two glasses of beer
prior to the accident.
