Highest yesterday 14 .overt this morning ............ 58 Twenty-eighth Year Comment Day's News By FBANK JENKINS 1N CALIFORNIA on Tuesday they held a special election, at which ten meaaurea were voted on. Since Southern Oregon la exceedingly cloae to California, what la happening on the other aide of the line la of more than pawing Interest to ua. So a brief outline of these meaaurea will be offered here. FIRST In interest la the Rlley Btewart tax plan, which revues rather radically the California system the lii iiiin ni rim in In the past, California has assessed public utilities separately, the cost of state government being met by a levy on public utility corporation. I Onder the Riley-Stewart plan, the nearly two billion dollars of public utility holdings would be added to the general tax rolls. It la claimed by the frlenda of the measure that In this way the load on property will be lightened.' " The property owner In California, you see. la complaining Just about as loudly as the property, owner In Ore gon. As a matter of fact, property owners everywhere are feeling the bur. den of taxation. ' a N OTHER feature of the measure A is assumption by the state of the ' county a share of school taxea. In other words, the state will pay for the schools. In order to do this, It la expected, the state will have to raise additional money, and a sales tax la being talked as a possible source. THE RILBT-8TEWART plan In cludes the tax limitation Idea under which we have been operating here In Oregon for many years. That la to say, budgets are not to be per mitted to exceed the prevloua year by more than five per cent. They seem to thins a lot of this .rh.m. down below the line. Out of our experience up here In Oregon, we can tell them. If they care to know, that they wont think ao much of It after seversl years of trial. The tax limitation Idea hasn't ope rated to reduce taxes up here In Ore gon. Instead, It has resulted In ln cressed Indebtedness, and Increased indebtedness results Inevitably In In creased taxation. The only way to reduce, taxes Is to spend less money. . uvno maMKiira would legalise A race track betting with parl-mu- i tuel machines. It la argued that peo pie bet on the races illegally, ao they might as well be permitted to do legally. Thla writer, who Is no prude, and who realises that people cant Be atopped from gambling In some lorm or other, hasn't much use for legalised race track betting. . N OTHER measure would exempt r non-profit schools from taxation If anything deserves to be exempt from taxation. It Is schools, but this writer has a notion, which may Be foolish, that Instead of exempting ya- rloui forma of property from taxation, It would be better If we TAXED ALL PROPERTY, Including municipal and government bonds. ANOTHER bill' on the California ballot would permit assessment of property on the basis of Its value i AFTER earthquakes. Instead of before, which sounds reasonsble enough. Fortunately, we don't have to con alder such things up here In Oregon. Another proposal Is to Issue 05 mil lion dollars In bonds with which to refinance 13S.0o00O0 of outstanding irrigation and reclamation district bonds. ' Two points of Interest there: Cali fornia has done a lot of etate recla mation. Including Irrigation, and her districts are In about as bad shape as our districts up here In Oregon. If they can refinance 13a mllllona of outstanding bonds with 85 millions of new bonds, the old onea must be pretty badly depreciated. PROPOSITION No. 7 on the Cali fornia ballot is of no particular interest, as It merely chancea the date on whi-h mea.tires pased by the legislature t-ome effective The leria- lainmmaft aa cw Sinn Medford Mail Tribune 1 !- INMATE OF JAIL LNnO WlM IN BALLOT I . 0. Clancy Tells of Letter Smuggled Out to Governor Telling Strange, Activities in County Bastile On Night O. O. Clancy, .held In the county Jail since last February on a check forging charge, told the Jury In the trial of John Glenn of Ashland, for mer rounty Jailer, charged with bal lot theft, that a few days after the vote stealing he had smuggled a let ter out of the county Jail to his mother in Portland, reciting what he ,had aeen and heard in the county Jail on that eventful February 20 evenlnj, - with instructions to turn the information over to Governor Julius h. Meier, which she did, with the reault that the state police took a sta cement from Clancy a week later. Clancy testified that Glenn, Sus pended Sheriff Schermerhorn. Charles Wt (Chuck) Davis and Tnomaa 1j. Brecheen. all co-defendants, .held sev eral conferences in the county Jail office and corridors, between 6 and 10 o'clock that night; that Glenn bad received three telephone calls, and that Glenn was extremely ner vous and had walked frequntly to the windows overlooking the rear of the court house to peer out. Glenn also made several trips from the Jail, the wit new testified. Reflection on Jennings Clancy testified that the next morning Glenn told .him the vaults had been burglarised and the bal lots stolen, and he aaked: "Who did It?" J' "Suspicion point to Paul Jen nings, Glenn replied. Paul Jennings was a deputy sheriff while his father was sheriff. Clancy testified th&t during the evening Suspended Sheriff Schermer horn thrice entered the Jail with his private key, and the last time en gaged "Chuck" Davis and Glenn in conversation. Brecheen was seated In a chair, leaning up against a cell, with hta hat pulled down over his eyee, "aa if in deep study,' Clancy said. The court sustained the defense objection to the witness' observation that Bre cheen "was in a oeep study." "Glenn said to Brecheen," the wit ness testified, "'Come on, Tom; You are in on this, tool'" and Brecheen Joined the group. The Viree talked in a low voice, Clancy said, but he overheard Scher merhorn say: "Ufa Get the Stuff" "What the hell are we watting for? Let's go get the stuff before too many people get snooping around." Clancy thought "a raid was on." Schermerhorn, Brecheen and Da via then left the Jail, the witness said. Schermerhorn was nervous, and was assured with the words, "Everything haa been arranged." , Glenn remained behind, nervously pacing the jail reception room, and received two phone calls. Earlier In the evening, Clancy de clared that Glenn had a conference In his office with the Sexton broth ers, corroborating the pair testimo ny at the LaDleu and Jones trials on thin point. Clancy testified he was the Jail cook and after aupper played soli taire. The frequent conferences and phone calla he regarded as "unusual" and when he heard of the ballot robbe;-y he "thought them sign if i cant, nd lotted down the names of all who had been present," later to turn over the data to the governor through his mother. The witness said. about 10 o'clock he asked Glenn to open his cell ao he could go to bed, with the remark. Its way past my bedtime," and Glenn answered: Glenn Very Busy I know It, but I .have been very busy thts evening" The witness added Glenn acted very nervous. Three or four daya after the vote stealing, Clancy testified, Glenn re ceived a phone call and then aald: "Those people want their (10. I bawled them out, and asked them 'What are you trying to do? Get me pinched?" " Clancy also testified that the regu lar Jail aides. Janitors and prisoners were at the table on the evening of February 20, with "Tom Breoheen aa guest." The chief topic of conversa tion was the ballot recount. Glenn remarked: "Schermerhorn Is not getting the breaka In the Judge's ruling. I bawl ed ou that Portland lawyer for tell ing about the pen expert and the magnifying glass, and letting the cat out of the bag " The Jail supper mas finished about 8:30 o'clock and the Schermerhorn-Davls-Brec.heen and Wferm confer ences started, the witness wild, while he and other trusties read and played solitaire.

"and I wish you could be definite," The witness replied: "I had no watch, and time meant nothing to me In Jail." Clancy testified th&t it was com mon Jail talk "that suspicion points to Paul Jennings, "and I heard It often." Clancy said he arranged wlt,h prisoner named Randall to "sneak out the letter to his mother through a lady friends of Randan's, by the name of Goes. I didn't trust the state police, the sheriff or the dis trict altrorne)Cer-tooE that means, My mother Induced me to make the statement I did." The witness denied he had told Randall "get thts letter out, and will both hit the aldewalk, and be free men again," or that he had been prompted by any expectation of clem ency from the governor. He knew the delivery had been made, when the Btate police took him to their head quarters, and he whs asked to make a statement. Did Not See Wife. Clancy testified he did not see Mrs, Glenn In the county Jail that even ing. The defense indicated yester day, aa part of the Glenn alibi, that the wife had come to the Jail at o'clock and left about i :6 p. m. with friends to attend a meeting of For eign War Veterans. During this pe riod, the state holds, Glenn was busy conferring with Schermerhorn, "Chuck" Davia and Brecheen and the Sexton brothers on vote-theft details, Clancy also revealed on cross-ex amination that after the theft be came known "I understood better.' He said one Jail code. In those days was to "keep out where you" could be seen." The state Indicated it would call Mrs. Daniels, matron, her aon, Joe, Janitor Bell and several others to cor roborate Clancy's story of conferencea and Intrigue. Burley Sexton Testifies. Burley Sexton was next called to the stand to tell for the third time how, he avers, Glenn induced him and his brother, Wilbur, to assist in the ballot robbery, with the promise, "I will pay you 10 out of my own pocket. The sheriff will pay you well, and you know how I stand with Fehl, Qn the first Invitation. Sexton said he demurred, and Glenn replied: "You have nothing to be afraid about. The sheriff and the Judge are back of you." The talk occurred ' In the county Jail office, behind a closed door, and the three then went to the basement to look for tools. Burley ad mitted breaking the vault window while the "Congress" applauded and a Ford rattled. Glenn declared, Sexton again testi fied: "We've got to get those bal lots, or we will all be out of jobs." Sexton repeated the basement floor conversation with Glenn, Fehl, Jones, Davis and others present, in which Fehl said: "We've got to keep that old bunch out! I'll show something before I get through with them." The state contends the plot began to tske form after this confab. BLAZE DESTROYS EDEN PRECINCT.

Our of ficials still comment off the record about what a cheap trick It was for England to take advantage of the silver loophole in her partial debt payment. They expected something like that from some other nations, but not England. It saved her around two million of dollars but It cost her more than that n prestige with those who count In the administration. You will never know what pressure i France exerted In Europe to make other nations default on their war debts. She did not try to Influence Great Britain or Italy but she bore down on the inside with the smaller coun tries. Her game obviously was to get as many In the defaulting boat with her as she could. One of those which felt such pressure was Finland. She paid no attention to it. She paid. . Our officials have heard confiden tially about the matter.

Voters are aked to go to the polls and vote to amend the city charter In order that an Important sum can be aaved In the bonded In debtedness of the city, bringing the Medford charter up to date to conform with the law recently passed by the ; Oregon legislature, which permits the issue and change of refunding bonds. Polling places will be at Flchtner's garage, the county court house, the city hall and the old cHy market on South Riverside. All registered voters within the city limits will be eligible to exercise their franchise In thla election and are urged to go to the polls and vote. The amendment to the charter to be voted on has been Indorsed by the chamber of commerce aa an advisable means of maintaining the good credit of the city of Medford. Due to the present economic con ditions, it has been pointed out In explanation of the need for an amend ment to the charter, the city is un able to sell municipal bonds at pat or near par. As a consequence any refunding bonds sold would probably not bring more than 80 per cent to 85 per cent, which would mran a loss to Medford of not less than 950, 000, If bonds were aold nor, when they mature. The city council has, under the present charter, authority to Issue and sell refunding bonds for the purpose of payment of outstanding and ma tured bonded obligation. It doea not, however, give the city authority to Issue refunding bonds and to ex change them for matured bonda. The present election 1-4 for the purpose of amending the city charter to con form to the Atate statute, recently pssaed. which doea grant cities thla authority. This will enable the city to exchange, refunding bonds aa they mature and to avoid selling them at a substantial loss on the present low market.

I Rockefeller were listed today among 1 individuals who, senate investigators - were told, were Invited to ahare in profit from floating securities issued by Kuhn, Loeb & company. Ferdinand Pecora, counsel, placed ' before the Investigating committee a long list of prominent figures in the Industrial world invited to partici pate in the profits. The list was similar to the selected client lists of J. P. Morgan & com pany, but operated differently. Earlier Pecora advocated a govern ment investigation to determine why ' an internal revenue bureau official changed the classification of an in come tax-reducing stock sale by Otto Kahn from a "wash sale" to "an or dinary transaction on the exchange." Pecora made this suggestion after the committee had received testimony from Kahn, senior partner of Kuhn. Loeb Aj company, giant New York ' banking house, that he had paid a foreign Income tax in 1930 when h psid none In thla country. Kahn said the tax was 84,480 and he assumed It was paid In Ore at Britain. The senate Investigators also were told that the government granted Kahn an Income tax reduction In 1P30 on stock aalea without knowledge that the securities were sold to hie daughter, Mrs. Maud E. Marriott. After the morning recess, Chairman Fletcher told newspapermen the com mittee "may make some inquiry into the Roosevelt boom market." He add ed, however.

A couple of fine young fellows. Saturday we see these babies do their stuff, along with all our crai'k boys. During the war we wouldn't let our boys have parachutes, for somebody "decided they wasn't safe." The latter part of the war Germany had chutes and Udet had had his only 11 days when his plane was shot down. Had there been no chute there would have been no Udet today. It makes yon sick when you think of the boys we might have saved, but they was afraid maybe one of the chutes wouldn't open. Tours, UII Md!uiaifrllttt. la I
