revelations In the tax evasion hear
ing may not be getting very hot, but
revolution just out of earshot is near
the boiling point.
Alarmlats are already saying that
the treasury Is about to lose another
under-secrctary for the same reason
that two others departed because he
disagrees with New Deal policy.
This Isn't likely, at least not at this
jtnt, for two reasons at least. In
thltrt place, Under-Secretary Ros
well Magu. int"cated no Intention
of walking out'1. .Jn middle of the
show; and. second"1' I unlikely
that the admlnlstratlon"-oujd let
him. .But sooner or later, something
will have to be done.
There are two elements in the
treasury which don't mix.
There is Mr. Mngill, who Is a tax
expert, and his supporters. He looks
on the ballyhoo and the big names
In the electric signs about the way
a symphony conductor would con
alder a strip-tease act during an in
termission In Beethoven's ninth.
He doesn't believe that a fiscal
agency should make such a display
of Its enforcement activities as the
testimony In the hearings will neces
sarily bring" to the front. He Is re
ported to feel that a tax law might
be written so simply that It could
actually be understood without a law
yer, and that it would bring In more
money.
Then, on the other hand, there Is
General Counsel Herman Oliphant.
"Somebody sold somebody a bill of
goods." - S
Mr. Oliphant Is said to be an ex
cellent salesman, not generally known
as a tax expert. He came from the
farm credit administration with Mr.
Morgenthau when the latter was call
ed to take over the late Alexander
Hamilton's Job.
Down on Capitol Hill there la more
applause for Mr. Maglll than cheer
ing for the hearings.
One reason la this: Before the ad
ministration's first big tax bill came
up, Mr. Maglll. then Just an "ad
visor." took the house ways and
means committee through a regular
seminar on Its Intricacies. Chair
man Doughton and the other mem
bers were grateful. They still have
confidence In him.

ing Governor 'Dictator'
Brings Pungent Answer
SALEM, June 23. (ff) Governor
Martin attacked the State Federation
of Labor today with ti.e charge that
its campaign to organise state em
ployes la "damned bunk."
Between puffs of bis cigar and In
a Jovial mood, the governor said be
was "very much pleased" that a reso
lution Introduced at the federation
convention in Mar&Mleld yesterday
but not yet acted upon, attacked him
as a dictator.
.Nothing to Gain.
"I have no objection to any state
employe Joining a union." he wild,
"but if we can't bargain collectively
with them or can't recognize a strike
what have they got to gain?
"In other words, the only thing
left Xor them to gain la social enleve
ments In a union, it they want that,
let them go ahead and Join.
"We can't think of bargaining with
state police or the national guard,
because we must preserve law aud
order. In the Boston police strike,
that made Calvin Cool Id go president,
rioting was the result. We don't want
a repetition of that.
.Must Bargain With AH.
"But If we bargain with any group
of employes, we must bargain with
all, and that means also the forces
of law and order."
The governor said a protest mass
meeting of state employes held here
recently was only a meeting of two
state police, two city employes and a
temporary state employe, all of whom
he said were merely curious. '.
"If the American Federation of La
bor Is supporting such damned bunlc.
I am very much pi rased they are

MEDFORD STORES
ASKED TO CLOSE
FOR AIR CARNIVAL
Closing of alf Medford stores from
1:30 to 4:30 during the sir show on
Friday. July 2, waa requested to
day by Al Llttrell, chairman of the
retail merchants committee of the
Jackson County Chamber of Com
merce. His request was endorsed by
Mayor George W. Porter.
Mr. Llttrell said closing of the
stores would give all employes an
opportunity to see the air carnival
at the municipal airport. Attendance
of the employes, he added, would
help to make the show a complete
success.
Mr. Llttrell was of the opinion thst
little business would be transacted
between 1:30 and 4:30 anyway, as
most parsons would be at the show.
The merchants, .-be- thoug ii, viroul
do an unusually heavy volume oi
business before and after the show
because of the large .Influx of valley
residents and tourists who will bs
attracted to the city by the sky
circus.
"As mayor of the city of Medford
I heartily approve the action of the
retail merchants committee of the
Jackson County Chamber of Com
merce in requesting stores to close
from 1:30 to 4:30 on July 2," Mr.
Porter said. "I hope the merchants
wilt cooperate so that Medford may
have the most outstanding show ol
the 10-clty tour of Oregon."
Max Pelrce, president of Medford
chapter of the National Aeronautic
association, said the organization ap
preciated the co-opcratlon of the re
tail merchants committee. He added
that he hoped the stores would close
to help swell the attendance as the
show la to be the largest air circus
In the United States this year with
the sole exception of the national
races and no one should mtss It.
The carnival here will be the first
of ten to be held on successive days
in cities throughout Oregon.
