STxtm ITie Capital Journal, saism, Oregon fnunday, December 21, 1939 Drager Case Set for Trial February 1st Judge McMahan yesterday after noon set rebraary 1 and February 18 m dates for trials of D. G. Dra ger, county treasurer, and W. Y. Richardson, his former deputy, un der a Joint indictment charging lar ceny of public money. It was un derstood the Richardfion trial would come up first. He has been tried once and the Jury disagreed. The dates were act at a conference be tween Judge McMahan, Francis E. Marsh of McMlnnvllle, special prose cutor, and Custer E. Ross and George Rhoten, defense attorneys. An offshoot of the Drager mat ter also cropped up in Portland yes terday when a claim for $5392.32 was filed with Multnomah county by the American Surety company of New York for reimbursement in that sum of taxes paid to Mult nomah county by D. G. Drager. The company seta out that be tween March 22, 1919, and Decem ber 21, 1937, Drager delivered to Multnomah county "certain checks payable to you totaling $5392.32," cays the report from the Oregonian. Plowden Stott, attorney for the nurety company, In a letter to the Multnomah county commissioners, said he had been advised these "checks were not In payment of ob ligations of Marlon county but were in payment of certain personal ob ligations of Mr. Drager and, there fore, It was Improper for him to pay these personal obligations with coun ty of Marlon funds." The letter further itate. "The checks were official Marlon county checks drawn by Mr. Drager as county treasurer and therefore Imparted notice to you that the disbursements were from Marion county funds. "Marlon county had the right to call on you to reimburse the county for these Improper payments, and the American Surety company of New York has paid Marion county the amount of these losses by rea son of the fact that It was surety on Mr. Drager's official bond as county treasurer of Marion county.

Lr tsL Morpenthau Against Taxes On Consumers Washington, Dec. 21 (Secre tary Morgenthau, saying he was op posed to further taxes on consum ers, indicated today he was op posed to the proposed "certificate plan" to raise farm poultry benefits. Tlie treasury head added, how ever, that the administration had not made a final decision on the certificate plan proposed by Secre tary of Agriculture Wallace. Wal lace has been aiked to attend a sec ond meeting of the president's fiscal and monetary ommlttee thU af ternoon to talk about the Idea. Morgenthau said he did not know whether this meeting would produce any decision, but if it did, he said, the verdict would be communicat ed to the president and not made public. Wallace's certificate plan proposes transferring from the treasury to farm product processors and per haps, in turn, consumers the burden of farm parity payments,' which cost $225,000,000 last year. Instead of the treasury paying far mers the difference between mar ket prices and so-called parity pri ces, elevators and others buying ma jor crops from farmers would pay the full parity price directly to the farmer, taking a certificate, pro vided the farmer by the agricul ture department, for t lie difference between market and parity ralut. Every subsequent purchaser of the crop also would have to buy the certificate until the crop reached a processor who would have to ab sorb its cost in his general process ing expenses. Thus, critics of the plan argue, the cast would be pass ed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for bread, cloth and other articles made from the crops. Noble Grands Elect Dayton Mrs. Vedah Willard was elected president of the Past Noble Grand club of Dayton. Mrs. Ray D. Johnson, vice president, and Miss Madalene Rossner, secretary -treasurer.
