BONNETS GRILL " CALLED RACKET Action of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and Leo Feist, Inc., In bringing a 500 equity suit against Frank W. Bonney Is described as a "racket" and conspiracy to violate the Sherman nti trust law In an answer to the complaint on rile today In federal court in Portland. The answer was filed by H. B. Duncan, attorney for Mr. Bonney. Date of trial will" not be set until spring. Suit was filed some time aco by the society and the music publishing houij asking for $250 damages on each of two counts. The plaintiffs Heged that on August 31, "Down the River of Golden Dreams" and "Wa bash Blues" were performed at Bon ney's Grill, restaurant north of Gold Hill, without permission of the com poser or publisher, the renditions being an infringement of copyright. To play the music of society mem bers legally. Bonney's Grill must pay an annual fee of $9J under contract. It was alleged. The answer filed by Mr. Duncan denies that the words and music of the two musical numbers were in Bonney's Grill on August 31 "unless the same were 'planted' therein for the purpose of furnishing a basis" for the suit. It la further declared that If any music played at the grill on that date sounded like "Wabash Blues" and "Down the River of Golden Dreams" not more than seven bars thereof were performed and the rendition was by ear. The answer denies that Bonney's Grill la operated for public entertain ment or amusement and asserts that music is provided by a mechanical Instrument. Whenever musicians do appear at the grill, they are not hired by the defendant and are compensat ed by contributions to a "kitty", the answer sets forth. The musicians generally played by ear and had not themselves seen the copyright music. It Is stated In the answer. Various legal questions also are raised in the answer to the plalntlff'3 complaint.

Above Party Question The crisis rises far above any question of political parties but it Is only through polttical action that the menace can be fought." Appealing to "Jefferson la n Demo crats" for aid. the resolution contin ued; "We ask th! aid and cooperation not only In the coming election and in the campaign preceding it, but also after the victory Is won and during the trying times that will follow when present conditions are being corrected and the nation la being brought back to government under the constitu tion." In some quarters there was a dis position to regard this last sentence u an Inferential promise thnt Demo cratic eld In beating the New Deal would not be forgotten after the elec tion. For example, this was the in terpretation placed upon it by the Washington Post. Burnt) Scores Supporters of Senator Borah (R, Idaho), who Is an advocate of a "lib eralized" G. O. P. and who Is often mentioned aa a possible candidate for the presidential nomination, took the view today that the "old guard" had suffered a setback In a contest at yes terday's commute meeting Forces led by Charles D. Hi lie. New York committee man. sought to re lax a rule under which states which went Republican at the last preceding presidential election get a "bonus" of three extra delegates at the next con vention Only six states went Republican In 1933, but the Hllles group wanted to give the bonuses to states which went Republican In 1024. 1928 or 1932. ( Forty states voted Republican In 1928). John Hamilton, youthful Kansas committeeman, opposed this, and It was turned down. 62 to 34. Afterward Erra Whitla, Idaho committeeman and friend of Borah, said: "This gives Borah chance in the convention. It will prevent the old guard from manipulating the conven tion." ) Communications Ivenwn versus Mallon To the Editor: Paul Mallon has at last come out with what I have been hoping he would do. and that Is to come out with figures trying to prove that the Townsend Plan Is all wet. I had to laugh when I read his articles and will now prove by his own figures that he la away off the mark. To begin with be Is basing his present articles on what the Town send plan went through In its first stage of development (and by that remark Itt me exUUn the develop ments of the- plain, 1st- Th pri mary stage in which H was an Utop ian Idea without being analyzed for It practicability and In which we indulged In fantastic figures; ana The first McOroarty bill. In whlcn we entered politics; 3rd The revised McGroarty bill. In which the plan was made practical and 4th The political party development, which we are Just entering), and conse quently Mr. Mallon Is over a year be hind. Mr. Mallon Indulges In figures pur porting to show what Townsend claimed as a transactions turnover and ends by stating that the actual figures would be 1200 billion dollars; well. 1200 billion dollars Is what Townsend always did claim. j And that the amount claimed as a tax would have been 20 billion, which was about correct In its pri mary development. Then he goes on to state that the actual amount that could be raised, basing on 1934 turnover, would be 9 billion. Townsend claimed 8 billion for this. Now in the next step Mr. Mallon makes a big mistake as he claims this would be divided among 11 million people when as a fact the Townsend figures were 7 or 8 million and as It has actually developed later possibly not over 4 million would claim It to start with and that would come wry near to the $'200 per month mark. If Mr. Mallon would base his stud ies on the revised McOroarty bill he would find that nobody really knows how much the transactions tax would raise nor how many would claim it, and that a man's present income would be deducted from the amount allotted him. This bill di vides up what Is raised among the wno quauiy ior u and it might b 50 or 160 (nobody knows). That it baaed on present stagnant condition, of business, but be welt assured that Just the minute this plan Is adopted business would Increase by leaps and bounds. Mr. Mallon also Indulges In the bug-a-boo of the multiplied tax on articles. Please bear In mind that every one of the taxes on an article except the last one. Is on raw ma terial and not on the finished pro duct and that a 2 percent tax on the raw material going Into an article is not going to affect the consumer price to any great extent. GEO. I VERS ON.
