Commission Fails
To Keep Promise,
Chairman Claims
Rogue River, Jan. 20 To date
the state tax commission has
failed to keep its promise to co
operate with the protesting tax
payers of Rogue River, accord
ing to Douglas Buckle, chairman
of the city's equalization board.
In a letter to Buckle recently,
A. A. Selander, appraisal engi
neer, stated a Mr. Loggan would
bring maps marked with all the
appraisals of land and buildings
in Rogue River, Gold Hill and
Central Point, and leave them
with the committees of those
towns.
"Mr. Loggan failed to come to
Rogue River or to notify any of
us so we could meet him in Med
ford," said Buckle, "instead he
left a map with the secretary of
the equalization board in Gold
Hill. But it is a replica of the
map we have had tacked up in
the Rogue River city hall since
1939, and that 10-year-old map
shows only about 60 per cent of
the appraised land and buildings
in Rogue River. It does not show
the silica plant, the power sta
tion or the other property along
Riverside drive. The sawmill is
not on the map, neither are sev
eral places north of town and
nothing east of Wards creek. As
for the map of school district No.
35 which we requested and
which Loggan was to have dis
cussed making from the records
of the assessor's office, the com
mittee has heard nothing fur
ther of the matter.

help to the taxpayers, Mr. Log

Five Of Aga Khan
Robbers Arrested
Paris, Jim. 20 (U.R) French
national police announced today
they have arrested five mem
bers of a gang which robbed the
Aga Khan and his wife of $710,
000 in jewels on the Riviera last
August.
A sixth bandit and his mis
tress were reported dead. It was
believed they had been killed
by the other gang members. Two
men who received the stolen
jewels from the gang have been
identified and are being sought.
None of the stolen jewels
some 40 pieces of fabulous val
ue given the begum by the aga
have yet been recovered. They
were said to be in the hands of,
or perhaps disposed of by, the
two men still being sought.
A spokesman for the Surete
Nationale said the arrests were
made last night in Paris and
Marseille.

Gen. Wedemeyer will meet
Gov. McKay and Oregon national

of the laws from the office in Sa
lem and have saved the taxpay
ers the money which he spent on
the trip.
"In a study of the valuation
the committee finds the school
district was increased in valua
tion approximately eight per
cent, while the city of Rogue
River was increased approxi
mately 43 per cent. Last year
Rogue River paid approximate
ly 12'2 per cent of the school
tax and this year Rogue River
pays approximately 17 per cent.
We feel that such an increase
in valuations in the small towns
without a similar increase in val
uations in the surrounding coun
ty ana tne large towns nas been
very unfair," said Mr. Buckle.
"After due consideration and
study of the Oregon tax laws our
committee feels that the law has
definitely been broken and we
are taking that matter up fur

A Nichols' Worth of
Comment On
By HARMAN
United Praia
Washington, Jan. 20 (U.R)
When Uncle Sam goes out to
count noses, he doesn't want to
miss a nose.
Starting
April 1, the
census taker
will start
counting. He'll
knock may.
be more than
once on
every door in
the land to
find out how
many people
we have in the
U.S., what
each person
does lor a llv
ing and how many mother hens
in tne back yard.
It's a thorough-going job. But
your uncle has just admitted
with a red face that in the last
census, in 1040, he missed may
be half a million noses. Those
folks happened to be in hotels
when the count was made.
Your uncle corrects his mis
takes. The department of commerce
has announced that on April 11,
we'll have what will be known
as "T-nlght," or transient night.
The government and the Am
erican Hotel association had
quite a fuss about it at first.
Should the census people go
around hammering on doors at
all hours to route out hotel
guests for a count of noses?
Should the government tag folks
as they went through revolving
doors?
The hotel men said "no," al
though they had no right to be
cause the uncle is the ruler and
could do just that if he felt
like it.
So the hotels and the census
people got together and devised
a plan. Hotels that have 50
rooms or more cdme under the
program if at least 20 per cent
of the guests are transients. A
person who registers on tne
night of April 11 will get a cen
sus form along with his key. It
will be an Individual form not
the family job which calls for
all of the information back to
the third generation.
If the guest can t figure out
how the form should be made
out there will be a government
man in the lobby to help him.
The census bureau figures that
the permanent residents already
will have been tagged.
Complications
There will be complications,
as there are in all big opera
tions. Say a man comes in around
check-out time and calls, the
transportation desk to find when
he can get a plane to Omaha.
A half hour later, the desk calls
this is on Anril 11. of course
and says that the weather has
lifted and he can get right out.
' Right there may be an un
counted nose.
And how about a nose being
counted twice?
Under the system, that s hard
ly possible.
Take a hypothetical case:
A man comes into Washington
on business from Urich, Mo. He
registers at the Willard hotel on
April 11. He'gets the slip in his
mail box as he goes to his room.
He fills out the census Informa
