attend the meeting.
A resolution will be presented to
the county court this afternoon, at
its final meeting on the 1932 budget,
asking that the county court call
upon all elective officers In the
county to accede to a voluntary re
duction In their pay. A. w. Pipes of
this city said he would present the
resolution.
'All the subordinate workers have
taken It on the chin," said Pipes this
morning, "and It is no more ttian
right that the heads of departments,
whose pay Is fixed by law, should
not voluntarily agree to cuts." Pipes
further stated "that economy has hit
every place else, and It Is time it af
fected all alike."
The salaries of county officials are
fixed by law, and cannot be changed
except by voluntary action on the
part of the official.
Pipes said the resolution would seek
a 25 per cent salary cut, and would
affect old and new officials.
The county court will meet this
afternoon for final adjustment and
approval of the budget for the year.
One of the main items will be the
Inclusion of the state tax, amounting
to $87,000. If a sales tax Is. adopted
In this state,' the money will be re
funded to the various counties.
The resolution is as follows:
"In view of the fact that an emerg
ency In the affairs of Jackson county
finances now exists, resulting from
three years of depression which has
been unparalleled In Its devastating
effects In the affairs of our people,
rende-lng many of them destitute
and homeless, while many others are
unable to pay their taxes and are
now facing the loss of their homes,
and recognition of the responsibilities
that rest upon all public officials
who receive their pay check from the
public treasury, and acknowledging
as public officials that the salary ol
our respective offices still remain the
same as it was during the years of
prosperity, and with a sincere desire
to make our contribution to the
common cause of humanity and the
rehabilitation of our community we,
the undersigned public servants and
heads of various departments of gov
ernment In Jackson county hereby
voluntarily agree that we will ac.
cept a 25 per cent reduction of our
salaries for the year 1933."
The officers affected are: County
Judge, Justice of the Peace, Sheriff.
County clerk, county Assessor, School
Superintendent. District Attorney,
County Treasurer.

SHIPME
FRUIT MEN TOLD
A substantial reduction In freight
ratea on pears from Medford to Port
land on domestic shipments was an
nounced today noon at the meeting
of the Rogue River Valley Traffic
association, according to R. R. Reter,
orcsldent of the shippers' organiza
tion, when advice was received from
the Southern. Pacific railway that the
local domestic rate will be made to
conform to the export rate now in
effect, that of 28', cents per cwt.
The reduction on intrastate ship
ments, from Medford to Portland,
will be effective January 11th, and
is a reduction from the present rate
of 49 cents, and, according to those
interested in the fruit shipping of
the district, will enable substantial
savings on these shipments. Tne
same rate will apply on interstate
shipments about February 1st, ac
cording to announcements, and will
enable local shippers to make uss or
lntercoastal steamship service o"
eastbound fruit.
Shippers here received the an
nouncement with a great deal of sat
isfaction, as application was made
for the rate many months ago, and
th recent action of the Southern
raclflc Indicates the willingness of the
carriers to cooperate with the fruit
industry in the solution or its press
ing problems, according to Mr. Reter.
Other annlicatlons made for rate re
ductions are now in the hands of the
railway authorities, and It Is expected
that news of the carriers- action o-.
these nnnlication will be recelv d
shortly.

A suit to recover damages of 8100.000

Ralney said the Democrats "hoped
that It will not be necessary to Im

the house ways and means commit

week.
"We cant trust the estimates of
the present treasury department as
to the income of the federal govern

"The Republican treasury depart

we can get some reliable informa

Roosevelt blanket authority to place
economies In effect, the control mi
norities have been holding over
members of congress that has block

would be averted.
Republicans Accused
Ralney argued that "the policy of
the present administration and the
Republican leaders Is apparent," and
that "they Intend to block every ef

i the short session. '
"Already, - the house has effected
$425,000,000 In economies on the
first three appropriation bills, Includ

estimates," Ralney aald. "We plan'
to continue the same proportion of

tive Harvey Wells, veteran member
of the Multnomah delegation, for
use If necessary In lengthening the
special session opening next Tues-1
day.
Representative Wells insists that
very serious problems affecting the
financial structure of the state" will
confront the special session, and he
is convinced that the legislature
'cannot solve those problems In four
days and give them the considera
tion they demand."
May Postpone Regular
He plans, therefore, to hold a bill
In readiness calling for postponement
of the regular session which Is sched
uled to open Monday, January 9, and
he says he will drop tHs bill in the
legislative hopper Just as soon as It
becomes apparent that additional
time will be needed to give adequate
study to revenue legislation for the
enactment of which the assembly has
been called In extraordnlary session.
"Whatever revenue legislation may
be enacted at the special session,"
Wells declared, "the responsibility for
it will rest upon legislature, and the
members -nnot afford to act blindly.
Cannot Act Blindly
"If the committee on legislation
and rules does not have a bill post
poning the opening date of the regu
lar session ready for Introduction
when It becomes clear that addi
tional time Is needed for careful ac
tion, I will Introduce It."
Others of the Multnomah delega
tion shared the opinion that prob
ably more than the allotted fragment
of a week would be needed lor full
consideration of the revenue prob
lem.
Dorr B. Keasey, veteran of the
house, visions two month of legis
lative service a,head of him once he
goes to Salem. "There la not a
chance of our finishing the work of
the special session In the first week,"
he said. "I rather think It will re
quire 10 or 15, or even 30, days."
Richard Delch of the Multnomah
house delegation said: "We can't get
started In four days and the prob
lem la too big for ue to try to Jam
It Inn that ahort a time. I want
to know what I am going to vote for
before I vote, and I don't think there
la a chance for me to get that way
In part of one week."

.The reason why Grants Pass was
not included In the oitles selected
under the appropriation provided by
the emergency reliof and construction
act of 1932 for a new federal build
ing, was contained in a letter received
by the chamber of commerce in that
city from Congressman W. C. Hawiey,
and another from Perry K. Heath,
assistant secretary of the treasury,
the latter addressed to Congressman
Hawiey.
In part, the letter from Heatn
stated: "The amount earned In the
emergency act waa not sufficient to
take care of 11 of the places eligible
for consideration thereunder and in
making the selections the Joint de
partmental committee considered Hie
projects in "the order of their need
and It was found that there were
other places where the need appeared
to be more pressing than at Grants
