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.
RUN LOOSE IS CLAIM
Another complaint charging Dave
Wilson of the Willow Springs district
with permitting livestock to run at
large in a herd district, has been filed
In justice court. Wilson has been
named the defendant In two simitar
actions and each time acquitted. The
present alleged violation concerns
goats. The other cases involved hogs
and cattle.

tion was fined $1 and costs yesterday

a local hospital Sunday morning af

vagance and ruled by a dictatorship
that mocks at the rights of states and
the liberty of the citizen.
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.
