Two Officers
Of Clement Safe
Liverpool, Eng., Oct. 21 (!) Own
ers of the British steamer Clement,
sunk September 30, In the south
Atlantic by a mysterious German
raider, announced today that two
of the ship's otflccrs, taken prison
er by the raider, had safely reached
Saint Vincent, Cape Verde Islands.
In some quarters this was taken
as indicating that vengeance had
overtaken the German vessel which
a few Clement survivors said they
believed was the poitet battleship
Admiral Echeer.
Another ship entered tho specu
lation as to the identity of the Ger
man raider, however, when British
censors passed a Reuter dispatch
quoting the Buenos Aires correspon
dent of the New York Times as
saying the attacker of the Clement
had been Identified as the German
ship Schwabenland, a converted
German merchantman.
The dispatch anld the Schwaben
land, an 8,031 ton ship, had in turn
been sunk by a British cruiser.
However, there was nothing In
the first announcement, by Sir Al
fred Booth of the Booth line, to
bear out the theory the raider had
been caught. How the two officers
were freed was not disclosed.
Savings-Loan League
Meets Here Thursday
Keith Powell, president of the Oregon Savings & Loan
League, has announced the program for the twentieth annual
convention of the association which will be held in Salem at
the Marlon hotel, October 26 and 27.
UCC Hearing to
Decide on Reserve
The state unemployment compen
sation commission will hold a public
hearing here next Wednesday to de
termine how large a reserve Is need
ed to maintain a compensation fund
large enough to insure payment of
benefits to Jobless workers.
After the amount la determined.
the commission will have power to
reduce benefit payments If the re
serve drops below the established
figure. Commissioners exploined this
would prevent the fund from be
coming Insolvent.
The fund reached a low point of
$4,800,000 Inst June, and now totals
$7,750,000. The law gives the com
mission until next January 1 to
establish the reserve needed to keep
the fund solvent.
The increase in the amount In the
fund was caused by improved busi
ness conditions, and by the fact that
the commission's employment service
has found Jobs for many unemployed
persons.
Both employers and employes will
be represented at the hearing.

Decks Cleared for

and his removal would not set well
even with republicans In that sec
tion of the valley, unless they were
given a substitute on the kitchen
cabinet. Also, southern Oregon
has been making demands for re
cognition and has offered sugges

commissioner from that district.
Rogers, the dopesters argue,
meets the specification of being a
Lane county man and his appoint
ment clears the decks for the scalp
ing of Earle and his replacement by
a southern Oregon republican.
As for any personal obligation the
governor may be presumed to have
for Earle by reason of his past
services, that is obliterated In the
minds of the spoilsmen by the fact
that the office of Insurance com
missioner has always been listed
among the spoils of victory and the
added circumstance that no matter
what services he rendered, Earle is
still a democrat holding a fat job

the state over the two recognized
leading candidates for the superin
tendence, Mark Skinner and Fred
S. Lamport the authenticity of
which controversy is being ques
tloned In informed circles is seen
as giving the governor the opening
he needed to make the Rogers ap
pointment and pacify the Eugen-
eans prior to beheading Earle.
From Lamport and his friends
comes the assertion that there was
no factual foundation for the as
serted "controversy" and their ver
sion of the Incident runs about as
follows:
Lamport's Story
Sometime prior to the bank board
meeting at which the new super
intendent was elected Lamport, ad
vised that the independent bankers
association was holding a meeting
in Portland that evening, telephoned
to R. F. Hollister, secretary of the
association, and asked that he be
permitted to attend and address the
gathering as a candidate for the
appointment.
He was, he says, advised by Hol
lister that he could not make such
an appearance, and that it was not
the practice of the association to
endorse candidates for superinten
dent. The next moming Lamport read
in the Portlond newspapers that the
association had met and endorsed
Skinner. .
No Threats Made
Lamport immediately called Hoi-!
lister and advised him that he was
"sore" at the treatment accorded,
him and felt that he had been
"double-crossed."
A prominent Salem attorney who
listened In on both telephone con
versations between Lamport and
Hollister confirms these statements
as being the extent of any "threats"
uttered by Lamport.
Subsequently, on October 8, Hol
lister addressed a letter to Governor
Sprague accusing Lamport of mak
ing threats of retaliation against
members of the bankers association
who refused to endorse him If he
got the appointment. After holding
this letter 10 days, until October 16.
the governor called Lamport in and
advised him of its contents,
"Damage Done"
To Lamport's suggestion that he
Interview individual bankers and ex
plain the matter to them, the gov
ernor is said to have replied that "It
la too late; the damage has been
done."
Reports to Uie contrary notwith
standing, Lamport says that he did
not withdraw from the race, al
though Governor Sprague advised
him to do so and Indicated that he
"had no chance" to get the appoint
ment in the face of the "contro
versy" he had "stirred up" In bank
ing circles.
His name was never presented at
the bank board meeting when Rog
ers was elected.

Apathy of Citizens
Causes Tax Burdens
Apparent apathy on the part of citizens and taxpayers
throughout the country in the conduct of governmental af
fairs, national, state and county, contributes in great measure
to unsatisfactory tax burdens now
Imposed upon the people,
So stated Frank O. Arnold, Full-
erton, Neb., president of the Ne
braska Federation of Taxpayers'
Leagues, In speaking to a gathering
of more than 200 taxpayers and
citizens of Oregon, assembled from
Want Rebates
For Tax Losses
OnO&CGranl
That the federal government
should annually reimburse counties
in lieu of taxation for lands owned
by it Is a movement which is said
to be attaining growth throughout
the country, and Guy Cordon of
Roseburg, secretary of the Oregon &
California land grant association of
counties, has prepared a table show
ing what effect this would have on
all of the counties of Oregon. The
table was worked out by him re
cently in Washington, D C, where
all of the data Is available and gives
some interesting figures, those of
especial interest here being applic
able to Marlon county.
On the basis of Cordon's figures
as furnished to County Commission
er Melson, Marion county would re
ceive $40,109 a year from the go
vernment In lieu of taxes on lands
owned by it in this county.
The table shows that in Marion
county the government owns a total
of 218,491 acres, of which 212,212
acres are in public domain, 6277 are
in rurally owned government pro
jects and two acres in urban pro
jects, this including lands such as
po5toffice sites. The total county
acreage Is 763,520 acres which makes
government owned lanos 28.6163 per
cent of the whole.
The cost of federal real estate was
$73,366 for the land and $1,552,534
for Improvements, a large share of
the federally owned lands, of course,
showing no original cost to the go
vernment. The total cost was $1,
625.900. The estimated assessed valuation
of federal real estate in Marion
county is placed at $987,349 for the
land and $209,881 for Improvements
or a total of $1,197,230. Assessed val
uation of real estate in the county
as it stood in 1936, the year taken
for' a base, was $30,789,170, which
would make the federal assessment
3.8885 percent of the whole. Fair
market value of the federally owned
real estate is placed at $2,384,021,
and from these figures the annual
tax of $40,109 on federally owned
property is reached.
The total estimated tax levy for
the state, according to Cordon's fi
gures, would be $2,209,441 and some
counties such as Harney or Lake,
where there are vast stretches of go
vernment owned lands would receive
enough to cover their entire tax
burden.

tel Friday evening, sponsored by
the Oregon Business and Investors,

payers' league.
"Never once in all my experience
for years In tax work have I seen
one single solitary intimation from
professional career welldoers Indi
cating that a careful analysis
should be made of the ability of the
people to support the increasing
cost of government," Arnold de
clared. "Neither have I seen any
indication that these people who
were so lavishly spending our pub
lic funds had the remotest Idea that
the bottom of the barrel would soon
be reached."
Average Man Ignorant
"When we first started delving
Into governmental affairs in my
home community we naturally em
ployed an accountant," Arnold ex
plained. "The developments were
astounding and it was soon discov
ered tfcnt the average citizen had
no knowledge of how his govern
ment was Conducted and the local
officers apparently had little more
knowledge of the government they
were trying to run."
Arnold said he attributed the suc
cess of the tax leagues in Nebraska
to the practice of not adopting any
fool theories of government and he
pointed with pride to the fact that
the magnificent capltol building In
his state had been paid for and Ne
braska was pleasantly referred to
by tax leagues throughout the
country as the "white spot" on the
nation's tax map.
"When tax leagues were first or
ganized in Nebraska, the members
were dubbed by the tax spenders as
'a belly-aching tax league' but now
almost overnight we find that our
work has every Indication of be
coming the most popular movement
In the United States."
Following the conclusion of Arn
old's address on motion of Mrs. Ann
Kruger of Beaverton, seconded by
James E. Burdctt of McMlnnville,
a resolution was unanimously
adopted providing for the formation
of a federation of county or local
taxpayers' leagues of Oregon.
Wants Salem Headquarters
William F. Woodward of Port
land, a former state senator from
Multnomah county, in supporting
the resolution expressed the hope
that when the federation was form
ed Salem would be selected as
state headquarters Instead of Port
land, saying also that he did not
believe In permitting Portland to
"hog" everything.

Bund Members y
Employed at
Boeing Plant
Washington, Oct. 21 (U.R)
Richard T. Forbes, young UnU
versity of Washington stu
dent, told the Dies committee
today that he and an un
named friend investigated the)
German-American bund in Se
attle and discovered two bund
leaders working at the Boeing;
airplane factory.
Forbes, whose home is in
Aberdeen, Wash., said that his
investigation was undertaken
with the "sanction" of the federal
bureau of investigation and the U,
S. customs service, both of which,
he said, "cooperated" by furnishlnu
ana meeting certain minor ex-i
penses.
He said he was "interested" In
Journalism, and that he and his
friend set out to "expose" the bund
after his friend had been flunked
in his senior year at the university
by Dr. Ernst Levy, German-Jewish
refugee professor.
He said his friend was contacted
by a Hamburg-American line agent
and, after various meetings, and
letters, began receiving literature
and propaganda from the Flctebund
society at Hamburg.
As their investigation proceeded,
Forbes testified, they "met a whole
series of crack-pots" belonging to
the bund, the Silver Shirts, and
other anti-Semitic organizations.
Jew Baiters
"We met the cream of the Seattle
Jew-baiters," he said.
Detailing a series of contacts
leading eventually to their Joining
the bund, he said they met a form

fessor named Dallas Johnson whok.
was connected with the youth sur
vey of the national youth adminis
tration. Through him, the witness said,
they met a "militant" Silver Shirt
named Jack Shields.
"And by militant," he added, "I
mean he has a houseful of guns, a
veritable arsenal."
At the home of a Paul Stoll,
whom they met through Shields,
Forbes said they were introduced
to a man named Sweeney whose
real name turned out to be Harry
Lechner.
Forbes testified that Lechner was
employed as a foreman at the Boe
ing plant. Stoll's wife once told
hlrn, he said, that her husband
worked at the Boeing plant but that
his name was not on the firm's list
of employes.
Fccbes gave the committee sev
eral letters written by Oscar H.
Praus of the Fichtebund and offi
cials of the German-American
bund.
Chairman Martin Dies, (D., Tex.),
declared that the letters showed i
that the nazl government, through
the Fichtebund, was "appealing to
cltziens of the United States" who
felt "common prejudices" to Join
the nazl movement in Its antl-
Seinltlc policies.
