Cigarette Case
On; Distaste for
JuryWorkShown

Curious spectators in a packed
court room stirred restlessly this
afternoon As man after man was
examined ard subsequently dis
missed from jury service in the
case of the city against Jack Frost,
charged with selling cigarettes to
minors. Several insisted they had
formed opinions relative to the
case and were consequently allow
ed to go.
More interest has been manifest
ed in the case of the ten men ac-
cused of selling cigarette to minors
than in any case heard here in sew
eral months. Hundreds of persons
crowded into the council chamber
at the city hall early this afternoon.
The overflow of persons, unable to
secure seats. spread around the
walls on all sides of the room.
That the case win progress rap
idly after the jury has been select
ed. is the common opinion.
The ten dealers, most of whom
own stores in the residential dis
tricts of the city. were arrested sew
eral days ago by Chief OF Police
Moffitt.

hog is said to leave his hole on,

Six Percent Limit on
State Taxes To Stand;
Senate Kills Repeal

Senator Smiths attempt to re-
move the per cent limitation on
state taxes fell by the wayside this
morning when the upper house ap-
proved an adverse report from the
committee on assessment and taxa
tion, indefinitely postponing action
on the bill.
In an effort to save his measure
for action by the voters, Smith de-
clared that operation of the per
cent limitation had conclusiyeiy
shown the fallacy of it's provisions.
In spite of the alleged Limitation,
he insisted. taxes had increased 400
per cent since adoption of the linn
ita ion through abuse of the spe-
cial millage tax proviso. Only nine
votes were recorded in favor of
Smiths resolution.
Lawless lawyers will not be legal
ly recognized by the present Ore
3on legislature in spite of Senasu,
Smiths insistence that his bill reg
ulating lawless lawyers and author
izing ambulance chasing and other
remuneratlve legal practices, was
offered in all seriousness.
The measure which had been re-
ferred to the committee on revision
Of laws came back into the senate
this morning on an adverse report
which recommended laying the
measure on the table. So quietly
were the 'last sad rites" conducted
that not even the author of the bill
realized the consequence of the ac-
tion in time to arise in defense of
his bill.
Assessment Bill Passed.
Thousands of dollars in ASSESS
able property are expected to be
added to the tax rolls of the state
under the provisions of senate bill
No. 100, by Hume, Strayer and
Jones. which was passed by the sen
ate this morning. The bill provides
that county assessors must, on
written demand by any person.
nlace upon the tax rolls property
7rbiect 70 taxation but which had
not been included thereon.
Some assessors, according to SEN
ator Hume were neglecting to list
certain propertits within their
counties resulting in material loss
in taxes to the state and its sub
divisions. This bill would make
failure to list these properties up
on proper demand subject to fine
and imprisonment of the Offend J
ng assessor.
Tax Problem Appears.
Oregon is now practically upon
a single tax basis, according to
Senator Vinton. who pointed out
hat real estate was made to
shoulder 85 per cent of the states
axes.
Vinton's statement was made IN
with an appeal for sup
port of senate bill lis, subjecting
bonds of outside states and foreign |
to taxation and exempt !
ng from taxation bonds of the state 1

divisions.
