C, April 18. The two weeks' riot staged In the senate on the tax bill was really only a harmless little game ol whacking the taxpayer with barrel slats. Th sting will not be commensurate with the noise. '' Judging from the .headlines, you would think next year's taxes are going to be something tcrrlllc. First the senate soaked the rich with ex treme estates and surtaxes and then lambasted everyone wim gem;. 10 per cent Increase for good meas ure. . Administration Manipulator Pat Harrison has welts on his body from the beatings he has taken, but there Is a strange, unworrled look In his aye. He knows what will happen. He will take the senate bill into a little room, where he will meet the administration leaders from the house. They will sit down and write a tax hill w.hlch will be Just as far away from the senate's wishes u the administration dares to go. Preliminary arrangements for that conclusion already have been made quietly on the Inside. The senate liberals started the The administration was not ask ing for more taxes, but the liberals always want more. They come from rural sections where few people pay income taxes. Ordinarily toey would not have had a chance to overthrow the administration, but President Roosevelt's veto message on the vet erans' pay restorations played right Into their hands. Mr. Roosevelt said congress had en . .-h the budcet by giving the veterans and government empiojea 228,000,000 more Wan the budget allowed, ho prouaoij u.u ------ mean that but It was a good argu ment for his veto. , ,,...!. innk him at his word and began proposing every k nd of tax they could think of, knowing he could not object. Some of them were sincere, but many Just wanted to get on record as sobkiiib u cause thej are running for re-election this year. What will happen in the end la that the 10 per ceni iu crease will be dropped gently out ol the window by tne rem wtltl.e. The strong senate estates and sur tax rates will be moderated, If not mnitlv abandoned. In the end the rich will suffer, but not as much as toe senate liberals wanted them to suffer. As for the average taxpayer, the new bill probably will mean a re duction In the end Instead of an in crease. For all married men whose incomes are less than $11,600 the bill will provide a reduction. The rates will be the same as existing rates, but new deductions are going to db allowed for earned Income. They will affect everyone who does not make a living clipping coupons. For Incomes above 11.600, and for coupon clippers, the ultimate bill probable will provide a moderate In crease. That Mr. Roosevelt's $228.000,000 , veto estimate was much too high is now quite evident. The difference between him and congress on the world war veterans' restorat Ions probably will amount only to $30,-1 000.000 a year. He agreed to the re storation of everything congress wanted except the presumptive cases. He even promised to put 75 per cent of those back on the rolls temporar ily by executive order. His conces fjttons were not included in his or iginal budget, but he agreed to make them, so It Is fair to say that con press exceeded his expectations on world war veterans by no more than $30,000,000 a year. A more definite estimate can be made on the employes' pay restora tions. This fiscal year they will cost $26,000,000 more than the budget; next year $63,000,000 more. Aa matters now stand Mr. Roose velt appears to have broken up about half of the veterans' rackets, per haps more. Certain nonpartisans in closest touch with veterans affairs say the total of government expense for vet erans now will be about $250,000,000 a rear less than when Mr. Roosevelt started to economize. This Is about one-fourth of the former cost.

( AP) A defin ite move by the state of Oregon to reduce gasoline prices to Its depart ments which. It was declared, would likewise reflect In commercial prices, was taken by the board of control to. day when it authorized William Einzlg, state purchasing agent, to buy gasoline outside Oregon at lower guaranteed prices than under the present contract basis. Reduced prices at Seattle In the commercial field, as well as In some places In eastern Oregon, where gasoline was selling from four to nine cents under the 23 cent retail price at Salem, combined lth con tinued complaints of hlghftas prices resulted in the unanimous faction by the board. V; A Cont racts Ending J The attempt to lower- gasoline prices In Oregon, already under way In Washington, was taken under consideration by the state officials when the purchasing agent an nounced probability that new -contract prices from oil companies for the new year would not be competi tive.

Governor Julius lleler declared he had been in cofpunlcation for several weeks with "Senator Charles Li. McNary In an effort to reduce prices, and that he had promise of successful steps along a different line In cooperation with the federal government. He declared prices were much less n eastern cities. Big Sum Expended State Treasurer Rufus C. Holman, who has been In touch with the legal battle in the state of Washington on gasoline prices, said that based upon the complaint filed by the state of Washington, In which it stated $24, 000,000 was taken out of Oregon by the gasoline combine In excess of a reasonable profit, he estimated the gasoline companies were taking about $15,000,000 out of Oregon. The board today also authorized purchase of five new automobiles for the state police department, one for the world war veterans state aid commission, and one for Engineer Ralph Cowglll of the state game commission. The latter purchase was recommended In a recent audit re port by the secretary of state's office. PORTLAND. April 16.

CITY IS PLAN FOR Chamber Commerce Names Fred Fick As Chairman for City Beautiful Drive Will Create Jobs One of the most comprehensive clean-up and palnt-up campaigns over conducted In Medford will be held during the entire month of May, under leadership of Fred Ftck, It was announced today by Cham ber of Commerce officials. "The purpose of the campaign to two-fold" stated Mr. Pick this morn ing, "first, to make Medford as at tractive and presentable as possible to the thousands of visitors we ex pect for the Diamond Jubilee and second, to co-operate wlt.h President Roosevelt In creating more Jobs. "No city has a right to be ugly or dirty and a campaign such as we contemplate conducting Is In behalf of the common good of the entire community for the purpose of erad icating ugliness, untidiness and dis ease." A similar campaign was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce last year but it is confidently expected that the efforts this year will sur pass the results obtained In 1933.

This year's campaign Is receiving the whole-hearted support of the city administration and City Super intendent Fred Scheffel intends to do considerable work in order to co operate with the Chamber of Com merce committee. It Is highly probable that Mr. Flck will organize a group of field work ers to call at the houses of Medford In order to discuss spring cleaning and general flxlng-up and rehabili tation of property on the basis of community cleanliness, thrift and civic pride, for the publlo comfort, health and fire prevention.

Announcement was also made this monlng that the various painters of the city would first paint the Cham ber of Commerce building inside and out to make It more presentable, es pecially In vl'jw of the fact that It will undoubtedly welcome a far greater number of visitors this year than heretofore.
