500 FAIL TO PAY TAX
-
KHKUIFF FIIJCS NAMF,S WITH
COUNTY CLKHK
PORTLAND, Ore., Dee. 21.
The legal time allowed for payment
having expired Kherlff .Hurlburt
last night filed with tho Multno
mah county clerk the' names of
more than GOO persons who failed
lo pay their 1!23 state income
taxes, the amounts of their delin
quency have automatically become
a judgment lien against property
with the filing of their names. .
About 50 ot the delinquents paid
t lu. amounts due the state in the
five days that have elapsed since
Sheriff Hurlburt received the list
from the tax commissioner at
Salein and thus escaped " having
their names filed.
Failure to pay tho tax was oc
casioned by the attack made
the law in the courts, which finally
was taken to the state supreme
court, which decided that, despite
repeal of tho state income tax. le'w
in 1.L'4. the taxes for 13 should
he paid.

or Hotel .Mayflower Incident
In Recent Mfpior Case
(My Tho AKHOclttloi! Pros)
. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Pro
hibition enforcement mothodH,
which have been subjected to at
tack recently, became a voting is
sue In the house today for the
first time at this session.
JtepreHentatlvo Tucker, IJemo
rat, Virginia,-an avowed dry, in
itiated a move designed to prevent
repetition of the much-debated
hotel Mayflower Incident In which
dry agent masqueraded under
the name of a member of con
gress to obtain evidence at a cost
of more than $!f00 to tho govern
in eat.
Amendment Proposed
Tho vehicle employed by Mr.
Tucker was an amendment to the
annual treasury-pOHlofflco supply
bill, which carries funds for dry
law enforcement for the next fiscal
year. A vote on the proposal was
deferred until tomorrow.
An amendment, which was di
rected at a section of the hill mak
ing $250,000 available for pro
curement of evidence In tho next
lineal year, would prohibit the use
of "fraud, deceit or falsehood" in
he expenditure of any part oi tnis
sum.
Chairman- Madden of the ap
propriations committee, which re
oorted the bill, asked if tho bill
was designed lo prevent the pur
chase of evidence.
Deceit is upnosea
'If carried on by fraud or de
ceit, l,say yes," replied Mr. Tucker.
Wnen Air. aiaoaun ihibhuiucu
again lo ask If the amenumeni
would prohibit an agent from
stopping a truck on a highway and
buying a "case" for $10, he as
serted that it was intended to do
whut it says.
In this form, however, it was
held out of order and the punish
ment provision was eliminated.
STATE TO BE ACTIVE
Tl.MBIilt INDUSTRY EXPECTED
TO DO WEIJi
(My The A8oeiutel Press)
SAUKM, Ore., Dec. 21. Kx
nr.inir . note of optimism rela
tive to the Industrial conditions in
Oregon for the coming yeur, . n..
Gram, state labor commissioner,
in n Htntement made here today.
declared that all lines of industry
in tho state will show as much, if
not greater activity during 192G as
they did during i:-o.
"Tnere is every i eu&uu iu mc
Hove." Mr. Gram paid, "that the
Itimlinr Inrl 11-Htl' V Will nrOdllCO
as
nnieh manufactured product In
192G aB in 4925... The lumber' op
erators have faith that 1926 will he
a big building year and that pro
duction will Increase to meet the
demands of a depleted market and
stocks caused by cold weather in
some of the producing sections."
The belief was expressed by Mr.
Gram that structural building in
Oregon for l!'-6 will equal that of
the past year, although, lie says,
several estimates place the volume
of building construction for the
next year slightly under that
reached in 1925. "Highway con
struction in Oregon in 1926 will not
exceed that of 1925, and possibly
will be less," the labor commis
sioner said. "Present Indications
aro that the state will expend ap
proximately $6,000,000 on state
highway work in 1926."
"Owing to the fact that many
new families have located on farms
in Oregon during the past season
and the generally, good prices re
ceived for farm products, it was
predicted that a ten per cent in
crease in acreage planted to va
rious crops would not be an in
flation of the situation for 1926,"
the statement says.

(By The Associated Press) !
LONDON. Dec. 21. The house I
of commons tonight approved the;
governments Mosul policy "in
principle" with only four adverse
votes.
The prime minister's motion
ashing such approval was adopt-:
ed, 239 to four.
The laborltes, however, with-1
drew from the house, after em
ploying obstructionist tactics and
obliging the government to disar- I
range its business and delay pro-1
rogation by another day. During
his speech, the prime minister
made an important announcement
that he would meet the Turkish
ambassador tomorrow to begin ne
gotiations covering tho entire ques
tion of Mosul. Great Britain, he
declared, was anxious for Irak to
live in neighborly amity with Tur
key and in pursuance of this policy
he would discuss with the Turkish
ambassador an agreement regard
ing the d'sputed territory.
"For this wo need the support
of a united country,'' said the pre
mier, "and I wouid appeal to those
who have criticised our policy so
vehemently to consider whether
the prospect of a peaceful settle
ment would be improved or dam
aged by agitation which consist
ently misrepresents the policy we
have followed and which is calcu
lated to create doubt abroad) both
as to our resolution to honor our
obligations and as to the sincerity
of our desire for peace."
The laborites threatened to keep
the house sitting through the night
to prevent discussion of the Mosul
motion and were in process of
making good their threat when the
government resorted to counter
tactics, postponing tho scheduled
business until tomorrow. It was
then that the labor party left the
nouse as a protest.
MrBaldwln said that the rit
ish taxpayer should be relieved of
burdens on account of Irak at the
earliest possible date: This took
the edge off the criticisms and
when decision was called only
four members en ered the lobby
against the government. Most of
the liberals abstained from voting
and the outcome of the division
caused ministerial laughter.
