Senators Rrown and Zimmerman put up a strong fight for the farm mortgage moratorium hill, pattern­ ed after the Iowa law, but a num - ber of so-called constitutional law­ yers succeeded In having the meas­ ure killed on the grounds that it waa not constitutional. A powerful lobby representing banka, insurance an«i loan sgencica has been here for days fighting this legislation. How­ ever. on Saturday th# senate passed a bill permitting tanks to declare moratoriums, and this bill was de­ clared constitutional. Brown and Zimmerman had something to say to that, and they »aid it! This bank holiday waa later recalled. The state bank bill, sponsored by the (¡range, tweived only 7 favor­ able votes in the senate. The chain store tax bill, which has been maneuvered arsaind thru’ the influence of the chain store lobby, ia hack in the house commit­ tee on taxation and revenue, which ia becoming kn«>wn as the “ gave- yard’’ committee. This committee agreed on an In­ come tax bill calling for exemptions o f $800 for a single person and $l.r>00 for married couples, with $100 for each dependent, the rates to 1» from 2 to 7 per eent. The indications are that a big drive ia going to lie put under way In the closing days o f the session, to pas» a general soles tax. A re- r«'nt newspaper article quoted Will­ iam Randolph Hearst, well-known newspaper publisher, os favoring the adoption o f a sales tax and the abolition of income taxes. Orange «nd Labor officials have lieen con­ tending for some time that the movement for a sales tax emanated from Big Business and was being prosnotcl so that income taxes would not be further advanced or so that they might be reduced. This open admission from Hearst boars out the stand taken by Grange and labor. On George Washington’s bithday Senator llaxlett delivered an ad­ dress. This time George was 201 years old. A lot of valuable time has been going to the «logs. A new horse and dog racing hill has lx1 on introduced. Another piece of important leg­ islation which passed the house Saturday, and which drew forth many pointed 'and stinging re­ marks of a personal nature, was the mosquito bill. The Senate passed a bill provid­ ing that Washington’s birthday no longer be observed as n school hol­ iday in Oregon, but that a short program shall be held in the mor­ ning and the remainder o f the day devoted to aehool work. An amended measure softening the Oregon syndiialism law passed the senate. The senate also passed three unemployment relief bills, provid­ ing for t'hc placing of unemployed on logged-off and burned-over lands.

Goyt Is Appointed 1’osition Of City Water Superintendent PIPE LINE OFFERED Sever“ ! ( ho *n To Work With Com­ mittee On Assessment Liras The offer of Henry Dahl, sup­ erintendent of the West Slope water district, to allow Beaverton to us« some of the mains belonging to that district to help bring Beaver­ ton’s water from the city reservoir down to the city mains, was probab­ ly the principal feature of Mon­ day’s council meeting. Owing to the condition o f the ground at this time, it is thought unadvissfcle to try to lay the pipe connecting Che reser­ voir with the city mains. Alderman Fordney, chairman of the water committee of the city council is to be commended in get­ ting this consession granted from the district to the east of us and on his energy in attacking the prob­ lem of getting »He connections made so that probably early next week the city will be using th«»ir own water for the first, time since its incorporation. H. L. Mackenzie of Hillsboro, through his attorney, both being present, offered to accept 60% of the face value of his tax certifi­ cates which he holds against cer­ tain proprty bid in by the city on delinquent assessment liens. No art- ion was taken in the matter. Fred H. Goyt, formerly with Swift & Co. was appointed to the position o f city water superintend­ ent with a salary of $70 per month. His duties were briefly outlined and include reading meters, putting in Ups. running the pump at the reservoir and other duties inciden­ tal to the maintenance of the water system. E. O Zimmerman, V. Dom- ogella, R. D. Williams and others were also applicants for the posi­ tion. A. E. 'Wilson, M. W. Manning and Mrs. Lela Richey were appoint­ ed on a committee to work with the finance committee of the coun­ cil to work out some means o f sol­ ving the delinquent assessment lien situation. A resolution was offered and a- dopted requiring the regular month­ ly meetings of the town council to be opened with a prayer to be given by some of the ministers of the churches represented here. Ordinance No. 143 was read for the second and third time and adopt­ ed by a four to two vote. This meas­ ure deals with the duties of the CSty Attorney. W ILLIAM S FACES ARSON CHARGE • ~~ Claire Williams is in the county Edward Bettendorf has returned late to this vicinity from Grants Pass. jail and J. Lambom Elder, publisher of The Beaverton Enter­ prise, is out on bail. Both are charg­ ed with setting fire to and attempt­ ing to burn up the plant where the Enterprise had been published and the building it occupied. According to Elder’s statement, he purchased the plant and paper from H. H. Jefferies and after de­ faulting on his payments entered into a contract with Claire Williams, circulation promoter to put on a st(b»criptScm campaign. He talked with Jeffrie? «b o u t, the campaign and with a former employer. The campaign was not turning out so well but there came a suggestion from Williams that a good way out would be to “ have a fire.” But the fire was not a very great success from the conspirators stand­ point so ‘.hey got a few friends to claim they, the friends, had sent in a lot o f subscriptions and the prizes were awarded by the judges o f the contest. Earl Fisher and others to these "friends” who had supplied Williams with statements of subscriptions they, the “ friends” had sent in. But local people were not satisfied that all was straight. Some of these people went to the district attorney, G. R. Morgan who in turn got in touch with the state fire marshall and others with the result that statements were obtained from some o f these sup­ posed prize witu^rs to the effect that they had taken no part in__the contest but had sighned the sub­ scription statements and the re­ ceipts for prizes “ just t® help W ill­ iams and Elder out.” Just a friendly j gesture, so to speak. , The Inaugural Address D
