OBJECTED
TO GAS TAX
FOR FAIR
Bean and Bennett
Lead Opposition to
Gasoline Sale Tax to
Finance Exposition

Previously expressed opposition
to a gasoline tax to finance the
states share in an exposition in
Portland in 1925, expressed by
Representatives from all parts of
the state except Multnomah and
its neighboring counties dwindled
and died under the balmy rays of
favorable concessions between
noon and four o'clock yesterday
Afternoon and left scant few of
ayowed opponents of the tax to
fight it when it came up for de-
bate.
Speaker Bean and Representa-
tive Bennett, Coos, shouldered the
burden of the attack.
Bennett Leads Attack.
II object to Portland giving a
show and letting the rest of the
state pay for it," Bennett declared
in opening the argument against
the resolution to amend the con-
stitution to permit such tax.
Such proposition would emf
nate more properly from the Non
Partisan league and could be more
logically expected from that source
than from four of the leading
bankers of Portland.
mot only is the proposition un-
desirable from this standpoint, but
it is also dangerous. 1t is pro-
jecting the state into new bust
ness that is socialistic in its ma
ture, and doubtful in its benefits.
"The chief objection to the
proposal, however, is its unfair
ness. Already the city OF Port
land is taking a toll on all OF the
business of Oregon through its
jobbers, transportation facilities
and lumber and grain brokers.
Now they ask US to submit to a
tax to be ratified at a special cleo
tion in which the voters of Port
land participate.
Hubbard of Baker also opposed
the enactment of gasoline tax,
declaring thatsthe three legitimate
purposes of taxation are % for
public improvement, CD for the
maintenance of public improve
ments, (2) for the expenses Of gov
ernment. The gasoline tax to IL
nance a fair, he said, is for none
of these purposes.
Robs Highways.
Asserting that the gasoline tax
is but an evasion of the direct
property tax and deploring the
manner in which the fair propos-
ais had been muddled in their pre-
sentation to the legislature, SPEAK
er Bean opened the fight in the
evening session. -,
"By this tax you are roOolns
the highway funds Of the money
that rightfully belongs to IT, ano
making it necessary for the tax
payers to provide for road con-
struction and maintenance IN otn-
er WAYS"

EXEMPT
PRIVATE
TRUCKS

Consideration of house bill 21,
the substitute for house bill 3, the
jitney regulation bill, in the com
mittee of the whole and the
amending of the bill in a few min
or details constituted the sum to-
tai of the business of the house
in the morning session today. The
bill was passed this afternoon by
vote of 40 to Is.
Three amendments to the bill,
one by Hindman and the others by
Allen and Wells, were included in
the revised bill as passde.
The Hindman amendment ex-
cludes privately owned trucks
operated for private purposes
from regulation by the public
service commission, and the Allen
amendment permits the posting of
cash deposit in lieu Of bonds
or liability insurance required of
all licensed carriers under the
act. The liability insurance clause
was inserted at the instigation Of
Wells.
Explained by Warren
This mornings action came as
part of the special order of bus
mess for the consideration of the
highway bills carried over from
adjournment last night, when
Frank Warren, a member of the
governors committee which draft
ed the bills, explained them to
the house.
Senator Moser, author of the
jitney regulation bill passed by
the legislature i nits last session,
vetoed by the governor and pass
ed over the veto in the senate
yesterday, was also allowed the
privilege of the floor of the house
last night to explain his bill
which now comes up for house
action.
Moser Bill Opposed
This morning W. D. 3. Dennis,
good roads advocate, took swing
at the Moser bill when he was
allowed the courtesy of the house,
by declaring that it would give
to passenger bus lines exclusive
franchises and rho the people of
Oregon of their inherent right of
free and unrestricted use of the
public highways.
While the presence Of several
tax items in the budget which the
taxpayers of the state and re-
uuired to finance each year which
are not absolutely needed for the
uses to which they are designat-
ed and could be diverted to other
purposes according to the an
nouncement of Secretary of State
Kozer does not seem to be wor-
rying most of the legislators to
any great extent, there are mem
bers of the house who are asking
why this money cannot be elm
mated from the tax bill the peo-
pie have to pay.
Would SAKE Taxes
If, some of the members are
asking, the quarter mill millage
levy now being used for the state
boys training school can be re"
diverted to the highway tund
from which it was taken at the
last session of the legislature, or
otherwise be shifted around to fill
financial gaps which the legisla-
ture cannot otherwise convenient
" supply. why can it not be dis
pensed with entirely?
Referring to Secretary Kozer's
assertion of early in the week tnat
money could be taken from sew
eral standing appropriations for
other purposes if necessary, some
of the legislators are wondering
vhv these sums cannot be saved
TO the taxpayers outright by a
general looping off program IN
line with the public demand for
reduced taxes.

WIRELESS SHARPS
TO LISTEN IN ON
Bic WAVES TO-DAY

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 6-Amateur
wireless stations in each state and in
practically every city of the country
are ready today for the first extern
sive transatlantic wireless tests
ever planned These will begin to-
morrow at 7 p. m. Eastern Stand
ard time, and close Dec. 16.
In ALL between $4,000 and 10000
stations will transmit during the
tests, which will be under the auspi-
ces of the American Radio Relay
League, 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 stations will "listen-in"
To date there is no authentic rec
ord of an amateur station having
been heard across the ocean but it is
predicted by Major E. H. Armstrong
former chief of the U. S. army radio
research division, who is cooperat-
ing with the amateurs in the tests,
that fully twelve stations will be
heard on he other side.
Hiram Percy Maxim of Hartford,
Conn, president of the Radio League,
believes if the experiment is success
full II will mean that amateur COM
munication between this country and
Europe will become a matter OF ev-
cry day occurrence, and that the non
co numerical operator in any part of
this country or Canada can forward
messages to friends across the ocean
at will.
Paul Cooley, we'll known wireless
inventor, who five years ago perfect
ed the regenerative receiver for am
ateur use, is now in England, coop
Grating with 800 British stations
which will attempt to catch the mes
.sages from America.
MIR. Cooley is acing as the repre-
sentative of the Radio League over
seas, and will be in touch with anna,
teurs in France and Holland, as well
as with those in England. One re-
,ceiving station he took with him has
been installed near London, another
in the north of Scotland.
Stations at Hartford, where ma
tional headquarters of the League
are located, at Brooklyn, N. Y, Sa
vannah, Ga, Cleveland, Chicago, st
Louis Denver, San francisco, Lo
Angeles and Roswell, N. M, ar
among those considered most likel,

President Mexico
Is a Great Hand
In Aiding Trails

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 6-Ger.
Alvaro Obregon, president of Me:ii-
co, is revealed as friend of the the
alter in general and of stranded thea
trical people in particular in tales
told here by a troupe of Las Ange-
les dancers. "
The dancers, all Los Angeles girls
who were chaperoned by a Los An
geles woman, went TO Mexico City to
entertain in connection with the
Mexican Centennial celebration. Their
contract, they said, called for round
trip tickets.
But, they said, when their engage
ment was concluded, they were re-
fused transportation home. They
appealed in turn to representatives
of the American state department,
and to the secretaries of the Mexican
treasury and interior, they declared,
but met only failure. q
Then one of the girls managed to
obtain an interview with President
Obregon, who paid the dancers no.
tel bill and provided them with tick
cts back to Los Angeles.
In addition to this, the girls relat-
ed, President Obregon privided trans
portation back to New York for for
ty-two American chorus girls when
the show they were with became

Putnam Exhibit to
Be Best Ever Sent
to South Fla. Fair

County Agent D. A. Armstrong is
now busily engaged in arranging the
Putnam county exhibit for the South
Florida Fair at Tampa, which begins
on February 2, and expects to carry
off majority of the prizes in the
events in which Putnam completes.
He is being given able assistance by
Miss Floressa Sipprell, which insures
that Putnam will be high gun in all
woman's endeavors.
Most of the exhibit which went to
Jacksonville will be used in making
up the exhibit for the Tampa show,
but there will be a great deal added
to it, especially in citrus fruits. Few
people know that Putnam county
county took the second prize for its
citrus exhibit at Jacksonville, run
ming close to Dade county, which
a speciality of it's fruits. Mr.. Arm
strong believes he will be able to
beat the Dade county exhibit at
Tampa.
Also few people know that Putnam
won first place for the best display
of cane at the Jacksonville fair, al
though fourteen counties competed
with displays of cane. AS soon as
he returned from the Jacksonville
fair Mr.. Armstrong buried his cane
exhibit in order to keep it in shape
for the Tampa fair.
