Ths open nature of the race among
Republicans was Indicated by a na

A member of the Indiana Republi

ballots to editors, district and county
chairmen and vice-chairmen asking
them to vote their preference for
the nomination. On the 280 ballots
which were returned there were votes

The detailed results were not given
out, but It is understood that Frank

second and Senator Dickinson third.

BILL WILL RAISE
Tf
Senate Action Completes
Most Important Measure
on Roosevelt's Program
Drop Clark Amendment
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. (AP)
Senate approval today completed con
gressional action on the administra
tion social security bill, regarded by
President Roosevelt as the most Im
portant of his entire legislative pro
gram. The bill, carrying 'the biggest tax
program In American history, now
goes to the White House for the
president's signature.
It is little different from the form
In which he submitted It to congress
last January, desplto the seven
months of bickering and controversy.
Congressional approval was com
pleted when the senate agreed to the
elimination of the Clark, (D.. Mo.),
amendment which would have ex
empted private company pension
plans, offering benefits equal to those
provided by the government, from the
old age pension taxes.
The house and senate had been at
odds over the amendment for weeks.
The deadlock was broken only yes
terday, when the senate conferees
yielded in the face of the congres
sional rush for adjournment.
Approval of the bill moved con
gress another big step toward the end
of the session.
Eventually It is estimated the bill
will raise almost 93.000,000.000 an
nually for old age and unemployment
benefits, equal to 10 times the rev
enue from the pending tax bill.

PLANT CONTRACT
R. I. Stuart and Sons of Medford
were last night unanimously awarded
the contract for- construction of the
new sewage disposal plant here, at a
special meeting of the city council.
The Stuart bid was $102,256.75 for
the completed plant, work to start
10 days after acceptance of the con
tract by C. C. Hockley, PWA head at
Portland.
Hockley's acceptance Is a forgone
conclusion, he having intimated his
approval earlier In the year. In view
of the cooperation of the Jackson
county chamber of commerce in ob
taining the concession from the gov
ernment, and their work locally, it
was decided by the council to turn
the contract over to the chamber of
ficials for their inspection before sub
mitting it to Hockley.
The land on which the plant will
be built has already been purchased,
at a cost of $3,500, and the engineer
ing fee, about seven percent of the
Stuart Contract, will be met by mon
ics already appropriated.
Stuart's contract calls for comple
tlon of the project within 10 months
from the time work is started, accord

The discovery that an undeter

their residence.
Cates was dyeing when police
dragged him from the house, and
his wife died on the way to a hos

as might have been inflicted by a
poker found nearby. A preliminary
examination disclosed no wound on
Cates' body. The coroner believed his
death was caused by suffocation. He
was known to have suffered from
heart trouble.
Two glasses were found on a table
and Coroner E. H. Rider ordered an
a itopsy to determine if they had
contained poison.
Two fires had been set in the
house, one in an upstairs room, and
the other In the living room down
