PAGE THREE IS GILL'S IDEAS ON TAX LEGISLATION (Continued tnjm p-age one) our best citizens to accept this office. Something must be done to make our legislature less cumbersome and more responsive to the people." Charging that prohibition was re pealed on promises that temperance would be promoted, he declared that liquor interests "do not even stop at bebauchlng the youth of our land." He proposed that Oregon reduce the number of liquor stores, halt deliv eries to customers, and provide local option by precincts. AAA Held Wrong Idea Commenting upon the agricultural adjustment act and the national re covery act, the Grange master de clared that, while crop restrictions must be used, the farmers of Amer ica ' cannot be forced to submit to regimentation of their crops and that the ' problem must be approached from a different angle. "Much can be accomplished," he declared, "by withdrawing marginal and sub-marginal lands from culti vation, but I am convinced we have been thinking too much about crop reductions rather than increased consumption. "Taxation," he insisted, "continues to be the big headache for those who legislate, administer or pay. Mil lions in property tax relief were lost by the repeal of the Pierce Income tax law, and millions more were lost because a. selfish group has continu ously fought Income tax laws or their improvements. The tremendous bur den that brought property taxes to the breaking point can be largely charged to extravagances, tax exempt securities, and tax-dodging resistance to Income and inheritance taxes.". For More Income Tax : Concentration of wealth, he declar ed, has much to do with the burden of taxes and debt, and advocated that a greater part of the burden be placed upon persons with large in comes by means of income, inherit tance and gift taxes striklnj In the higher brackets. The nation cannot expect to return to prosperity as long as the" masses of people have so little purchasing power, he insisted. He urged further currency inflation to reduce Interest rates. "All the new deals ever proposed will avail little until this economic injustice is righted," he told the con vention. To Aid Education Discussing the subject of educa tion, he pledged the Oregon Grange to support educational activities, and urged that efforts be made to secure a greater share of federal funds for school purposes. Money for schools should be raised by income taxes he insisted, rather than from a sales tax on the necessities of life. The speaker advocated federal banking, state control of gasoline, and state controlled power distribu tion. He urged the Grange to oppose the chain retail store system, and to give greater co-operation to organ ized marketing of farm products, Farmers were also urged to take a greater Interest -in tourist travel, as agriculture, he stated, receives me greatest benefits. F That the current controversy, over who was the first white boy born in Jackson county is not new, is at tested by a clipping handed in today by Mrs. Clara Barkdull of Medford. The time yellowed clipping, which she has treasured for over 40 years, was taken from some pioneer paper pub lished in the county, but she does not now remember the name. It reads as follows: "To the editor: The statement made at the pioneer reunion as to Basil Dairy being the first white boy born in Jackson county Is all a mis take. He was not born in Jackson county, but his parents came to Jacksonville when he was a baby; they came In 1852. Neither can Wal ter Gore claim the honor. Bruce Evans was the first white boy born In Jackson county. He was .born in Jacksonville In August, 1852. All real pioneers know this to be a fact and Mollie Ross was the first white girl baby born In Jacksonville, Jackson county, Oregon. (Signed) A Pioneer." Grocery Code In Full Operation R.

OREGON DIAMOND JUBILEE COMMITTEE o William C. Lindsay, who led a party of searchers through the wilds of the Dead Indian country for the bodies of E. C. Brown and wife, Hattle, homesteaders, who perished in a bliz zard that raged over that area In January, 1932, has filed suit against Jackson county for $773 for services rendered in the hunt. The claims of six other searchers have been as signed to Lindsay. The snow-covered bodies of the Browns were found in the early spring of 1932, beside a log after a search that proceeded intermittently for 42 days. The Browns left the home of A, R. Cooley, a neighbor, where they were visiting, near the close of a snowy January after-noon for their own cabin, which they never reached. They lost their way In the storm and the wild country. The Browns hailed from California, and were building a home In the wilderness. The attorney general of Oregon, in an, opinion, ruled that the county court had no authority to pay the claims of the searchers. Lindsay, an experienced tracker, headed the search, and sets forth that he 'did so upon the Instructions of then Sheriff Ralph G. Jennings, and then coroner Henry W. Conger. The search extended through the months of February, March and April, 1932. Lindsay filed a claim for $126. The others, assigned to him are: s W. R. Taylor, 126; Mike Taylor, $135; John Farmer, $145; G. W. Farmer, $116.50; Ivan Farmer, $66 and A. R. Cooley, $72. Attorney William Brlggs of Ashland appears as counsel for Lindsay.

Toft. Anderson claims that by reason of an agreement with Toft, he was to be paid for services approximating $1500. The probate court, in its find ings, allowed a lesser amount. Delay was experienced In starting circuit court cases docketed, when the first case scheduled was withdrawn. The damage suit of James T. Kln- kade against the sheriffs of Jackson and Klamath counties for alleged false Imprisonment, set for Tuesday, was postponed because Klnkade is quaran- Ore. A second amended answer was filed yesterday by Sheriff Low of Klamath county setting forth that Klnkade was arrested in legal manner, and ap prised of his rights. It Is set forth that a warrant was issued for Kin kade's arrest in May, 1932, upon a non-support charge, filed by his wife, who later declined to testify against htm. Klnkade seeks $2500 damages, alleg. lng that while held In the Jackson county Jail the "kangaroo court" fined him, and that when he was removed to the Klamath county jail the Judic ial body of that bastile also fined him, leaving htm without funds.

(Associated Press Photo E STILL IN EFFECT Advices Just received from Wash ington Indicate rates and practices of the NRA trucking code will continue and that no trucks are to be allowed to operate below costs, according to C. C. Thompson of the Association of Commercial Truck Owners. Mr Thompson further states that all truckers who operate for hire must register before June 14 if they wish to have any say In the management of the trucking code. Very little in terest has been shown by truck owners In the code In this state, so far, he says, when In reality the NRA should benefit the smaller truck owners more than anything else could, providing the state code authority represents all groups of operators, and does not represent only a small portion or group of the industry.
