WASHINGTON, D. 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;.

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

veterans and government empiojea
228,000,000 more Wan the budget

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.

day when it authorized William
Einzlg, state purchasing agent, to
buy gasoline outside Oregon at lower

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

The attempt to lower- gasoline

when the purchasing agent an

successful steps along a different
line In cooperation with the federal
government. He declared prices were

Big Sum Expended
State Treasurer Rufus C. Holman,
who has been In touch with the legal

gasoline prices, said that based upon
the complaint filed by the state of

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

hla former partner. State Represen

first twelve names were drawn nud
the prospective Jurors seated In the
box.
Not more than 60 spectators could
be accommodated In the room reserv

iting attorneys and newspapermen.
Two men were questioned for Jury

dered a brief recess at 11 o'clock.
These were Harry Goeller. garageman,
and C H. Pylesr estimator for a utili
ties firm. ' t; i
Goeller andvPylcs were both ac

Goeller was passed for cause by the

George Roberts of Medford, chief
defense counsel for Manning, ques
tioned Goeller on his acquaintance
with both Horan and the accused.
The garageman, member of a promi

both. He said he was hesitant to
serve for this reason.
Later, however, he amended his re
marks and said he believed himself
qualified to give an impartial verdict
on the merits of evidence presented.
Roberts directed his remarks to the
self defense theory. Apparently he
was satisfied when Goeller said he
would abide by the, court Instruc

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.
Mr. Flck announced this morning
that he Is formulating his committee
nnri ttn enrlv menttni? nf nam will ha
held to perfect the organization set-
up.
To Publish Honor Roll
The Mall Tribune win again pub
lish a dally honor roll commencing
May 1st and continuing throughout
the month for thoso who have re
modelled or painted , residences, or
business property.
Another phase of the campaign
which will be emphasized this year
Is the health question. It is believed
that a certain amount of work can
be created which will tend to better
health conditions.
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.
Cooperation Urged
Mr. Flck urges everyone to co-operate
to the fullest extent even of
the improvements are small and re
quests that every citizen do his part
to repair, remodel, refurnish and re
decorate In order to prevent fire, pro
mote health, safety and beauty.
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
