EIGHT jrEBFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, TAMTARY 13, 1936. Need $3,308,300 for Highway Modernizing Work Between Medford and Ashland Sidetracked Be cause of Interest Lack In Area, Is Assertion Expeudltures aggregating 3,308. 800 are necesssr? to modernize the g milts of the Oregon Pacific high way 98 In tbe Aahland-Medford dis trict, to meet the requirements of present day traffic. These are the preliminary estimates of the state highway commission, released today to officers of the Oregon Pacific Highway association. Of the S3.308.300 program, wbiai necessarily will cover a period of years, 1238,300 expenditures are In cluded in the tentative 193d budget. These espendltures cover two grad ing projects between Ashland an! Nell creek and Torrent creek and Wall creek. All of the other projects, excepting completion of the balance of the Ashland-Siskiyou station stretch of 12 miles costing 880,000, are placed on the commission list for second consideration. Following is a table showing the various projects, miles of highway affected, estimated cost and prefer ence the project will be given on the commission program. other highways, serving sparsely set tled communities are being accorded preference, c. A. Ayre, secretary .of the Oregon Pacific Highway associa tion deolsred. "Officers of the Oregon Pacific Highway assoclstlon are not able, through their own efforts, to gain first consideration for these projects, which mean much to the residents of this district, without the active assistance of these residents," he said. "According to state highway estimates more than 105,000.000 will be necessary to place all the primary highways of the state in condition to meet the requirements of modern day traffic. Of this amount approx imately 120,000,0000 Is estimated as necessary expenditures on the Pac ific highway, which serves more than 78 per cent of the population of the stats. "Property owners and business In terests In the northern section or the state, through which the high way passes, are being penalized more than 40 per cent in tourist traval by the oondltlon of the roadway near the southern terminus. Traffic counts taken by the highway com mission clearly show that tourists coming Into the state are taking alternate highways to reach Port land, rather than travel the danger oua route from Medford to Rose- Project County Line-Cold Hill......

Total Need of considerable work on the Ashland-Medford sector of the high way Is evidenced In the estimates of the state highway commission, but lack of concerted effort by property owners and business Interests of the district has faller! to gain Immediate consideration for the program, while I burg.

Allen of the school of Journalism. A number of new features have been added to the program this yesr, Including discussion and addresses on offset printing end smsll engrav lng plants. Donald J. Sterling of tho Oregon Journal, la one of the author Itlea scheduled to address the group during the conference.

Hood River, "Television If and When." f TO BE RETURNED (Continued Prom Page On.) stance had ben "iinprovidentiy granted" on the tlx to three vote last fall. Another case Involving this law Tiled by Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, Roosevelt administration foe, will give the court another opportunity to rule on It. Chief Justice Hughes, explaining the Bunk head dismissal, aald In the decision that Lee Moor, the com plaining Texas planter, bad princi pally given only genertl testimony regarding his financial necessities. Failed To Make Caw The trial court concluded he had failed to make a case, It was recalled, and the appeals court agreed "upon the established principle that a man datory Injunction Is not granted as a matter of right, but Is granted or refused In the exercise of sound Ju dicial discretion." The supreme court accepted this view. In the Rice Millera opinion, read by Justice Roberts, the court held the changes made by the new AAA law enacted at the last session did not "cure the Infirmities of the orig inal act" which It held unconstitu tional last week. "The exaction still lacked the qual ity of a true tax," the court aald. 'It remains a means for effectuating the regulation of agriculture, production, matter not within the powers of congress." In deciding that Impounded taxes must be returned the court eald : No llscuHrIon Hfc 21D We have no occasion to discuss or decide whether section 21 (D) affords an adequate remedy at law. As yet the petitioner haa not paid the taxes to the respondents, and, In view of the decision In the Butler (AAA) cose, hereafter cannot be .equlred so to do. If the respondent should now at tempt to collect the tax by distraint he would be a trespasser. The decree of the district court will be vacated, and appropriate order entered direct ing the repayment to the petitioner of the funds Impounded and the cause remanded to the district court for the entry of a decree .en Joining selection of the assailed ex action. A similar disposition will be made of the campanlon cases." The section 31 (D) referred to by the court would prohibit refunds of the processing taxes already paid to the government unless the tax-payer could show that he had not passed the tax on to others. Defer Comment Due to Intricacies of the decision, administration officials deferred comment pending study. It took Its place In the record be ing made on the new deal In the court. , This showed to date the two major ventures thrown' out, NRA and AAA on unanimous and six to three de cisions respectively; a qualified five to four victory In the 30 Id cases; a loss by the same margin on railroad retirement legislation; and eight to one and nine to none adverse rulings on "hot oil" regulation and the Prazler-Lemke farm mortgage mora torium. The president's removal of a trade commissioner, the late Wil liam Humphrey, also was held improper. Again the majestic courtroom was crowded. Notables and private cltl ena on hand personified conflict ing sentiment over the questions at issue. Re a 11 cation of the profound Im portance of the occasion sharpened the suspense. All dignity, the Jus tices gave little Indication of con sidering their session any different from the regular Monday business. Bank heart Present, Senator Bankhead (D., Ala.), au thor of the cotton law, heard that action In the courtroom, and aald It meant "we still have the Bnnk hesd set on the statute books, "The department of agriculture has the power to save the cotton farmer by proceeding with operation of the Bankhead act. "It will save this year's crop." The rice ruling wae on a case brought by eight Louisiana rice mill ing companies. They bad contended the section ot the AAA amendment requiring proof that they had borne the cost themselves before obtaining a refund waa Invalid. The rice millers Insisted they could not prove who bore the ex pense of the processing levy. They said In their business the various lota of rice were handled together and it could not be ascertained what happened to he Individual consignment. ' Pay First. The government claimed the millers should "pay first and liti gate later." It asserted suits for In junctions against taxes were barred by federal statutes and by the AAA amendments. The federal district court and the circuit court of appeals at New Orleans agreed with the government and dismissed the millers' petitions. The court said they were without Jurisdiction to enjoin the tax collection. In agreeing to review the dispute. the supreme court granted a tem porary Injunction to continue until its final ruling. Justices Brandels, Stone and Cardoza dissented from the review. Of the 91,200,000 processing taxes collected, approximately 9200,000,000 was impounded In federal courts. Rice collections to October 1 totaled 103,074. It was expected they would have been $12,000,000 by next June 30. ' The millers concerned today were: Farmers'.

RETIRED MINISTER PREFERS JAIL TO PAYING AUTO FEE The Per. William N. Carle, retired Presbyterian minister now residing at Lake Creek, told The Mail Trib une today that he would go to Jail before he would pay an extra 93 license for a "little box" he 'had built on the rear of his phevrolet coupe. Mr. Carle explained that he was stopped 10 days ago by a trooper who told him he would have to have a 910 "pickup" license because of the "box. Mr. Carle related that he told the patrolman he would come to Medford to take care of the mat ter. v ' The matter was taken up at the sheriff's office wnere the new license law was explained, Mr. Carle stated. Then he had a conference with Peace Justice W. R. Coleman. "If I don't get the 910 license, what will happen?" he said he asked Justice Coleman. "If you plead guilty you are sub ject to a fine of 91 to 9500. If you don't pay the fine you must serve it 01ft In Jail at the rate of 93 day." Mr. Carle said the justice told him. "I decided then to go to Jail rather than pay the extra 9o7' Mr. Carle said today. "It's an outrage charging poor people 95 for a little box built Into an old car. Anyway I have a lot of friends who will come 'to see me when I'm in Jail." Mr. Carle said he has not yet been cited to appear In Justice court. The last pastorate Mr. Carle held was In Merrill. He now lives with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John B. Short. Mr. Short's late father was one-time Medford councilman.
