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

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'. Rice Milling Co., Inc.,
Levy Rice Milling Co.. Inc., United
Rice Milling Products Co., Inc.. Rlck-
ert Rice Mills, Inc., all of New Or
leans; T. Simon and A. B, Dore,

Mill, Inc., of Baton Rouge, La.
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.
