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-

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.
Under cross examination. Clancy
was queried at great length relative

tant," pleaded Von Schmalz. "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.

about what a cheap trick It was for

They expected something like that

You will never know what pressure i

on the inside with the smaller coun

as many In the defaulting boat with
her as she could. One of those which

VOTE TOMORROW
E
Tomorrow is election day In Med
ford. 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.

Charles E. Mitchell and Percy A.

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.

foreign Income tax in 1930 when h

the tax was 84,480 and he assumed It

28. Had lunch yesterday at
the btudio with Udet, the great
est living German aco, with 63
planes to his credit, a marvel
ous stunt flier, and Lieutenant
Falconi, Mussolini's crack acro
batic flier, a young fellow just
Both speak English. 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.
