Mail Tribune: Henry Boyden,
autoist and member of the Southern
Oregon Automobile Association, will
be arrested, upon complaint filed by
Prosecutor Kelly, charged with viola
tion of the state auto tax law. Mr..
Boyden is the goat in the test case,
will be put in Jail, and habeas corpus
proceedings instituted to secure his
release, by w. |. Vawter, attorney
for the auto association. This step
permits delving into every angle and
phase OF the case.
The principal contentious in the
suit embrace the constitutionality OF
the law taxing autos, upon the
ground that it is a double taxation
inasmuch as the machines are as
sessed by the county. The prosecu-
tion will hold that it is d police regu.

to the twentieth. The Fourth street
fire station is used for the place of
shelter and most of them come in
during the night, showing up after
the arrival in the yards of freight
trains. They are fed on soup and
bread about midnight and are started
out of town in the morning in squads.
Sometimes a breakfast on coffee and
sandwiches is needed for those that
get in after the main meal. The food
is secured from the restaurant near
by and the price paid for it in bulk
is very reasonable. The program is
satisfactory to the unemployed and

nuisance considering the large mum.
