Refuses Place
On Road Board

All hopes that Jay H. Dobbin,
Wallowa county rancher and sheep
king would reconsider his refusal
of the post on the state highway
commission and decide to serve,
were shattered today on receipt of
a telegram by Governor Olcott in
which Dobbin flatly declares his in
ability to accept.
Governor Olcott, in a night letter
directed to Dobbin Tuesday had ex-
pressed his keen disappointment
over Dobbins refusal to accept the
appointment and the hope that he
would reconsider the offer and ac--
cept. Friends of Dobbin and good
roads enthusiasts throughout the
state have brought pressure to bear
in an effort to secure favorable ac-
tion on the appointment by Dob
bin.
The governor stated this morn
ing that as there was no urgent af-
fairs before the commission at this
time demanding immediate atten-
tion he would be In no hurry in
making another appointment to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Ed e. Kiddle of Island City.

White Opposes
Publication Of
Stacker Lists

Publication of the war depart
ment's Stacker list at this time, be-
fore the list has been thoroughly
purged of the names of soldiers
who did their bit in the late war
and have been inadvertently classi-
fled as slackers, would work a seri-
Gus injustice upon thousands of the
nations heroes, according to Adju-
tant General George A. White.
The adjutant general who is also
past adjutant of the American Le-
gion and a member of the leagues
executive committee has so tele-
graphed the organization's head
quarters at Indiana urging that ac-
ton be taken to correct the Stacker
lists before they are given out for
publication.
Based upon the Oregon list
which has been found to contain
the names of many men who served
in the late war, White estimates
that the names of not less than
5000 soldiers are included in the
list of 179,000 alleged slackers as
prepared by the war department.

cooperation of legion posts and
county officials throughout the

nate the names of soldiers who

Millions of Dollars In
TaxMoney Involved In
Supreme Court Ruling
Arguments Begun on Invested Capital Cases
Testing Governments Right to Tax Stock
Dividends; Suit Most Important Reviewed. IN
Decade, Says Frierson

Washington. Jan. 8. - Arsu--
ments were begun soday in the
supreme court in the invested
capital cases" characterized by So
licitor General Frierson as "th0
most important legal tuit from
the standpoint of government fi-
nances in a decade" Whether the
government will be forced to re-
turn hundreds of millions of dol
lars paid as income taxes depends
on the outcome.
The immediate cause at issue
before the court is the appeal OF
the Labelle Iron Works from 81
ruling of the bureau of internal
revenue, refusing to allow It to-
treat as invested capital the value
of ore lands which it had purchas-
ed in 1904 for $190,000 and which
by 1917 had increased to 10000
900. Government agents maintain
ed that the increase in reality WAS
''profit'" and should be taxed as
such. The company added the in-
crease to it's capital invested and
claimed the normal deduction or
seven percent, paying under pro-
test the additional tax of $1.081.-
900.
The question of whether a stock
dividend is taxable arose in a new
form in the present case. the Sw-
creased value of the ore lands
having been represented on the
books of the corporation, Accord
ing to the gove~nment's' brief.
since 1912 by "stock issued a~
stock dividend"
The wide interest displayed in
illustrated by the number of re-
quests for permission to file briefs
included the Long Bell Lumber
company of Kansas City; the Ma
tional Lumber Manufacturers sss0-
citation and the Kansas City Struc-
tural steel company.
Increase in the value of the ore
lands is comparable to the Increase
which occurs in the value of n
herd of cattle which, when pur-.
chased included a number OF
calves, the appellants argued.
Profits" was defined to the
court as the actual net amount OK
gain made by a business between
any two dates.
"The appellants theory is the
capital invested in it's ore lands is
not what is paid for them, but II
to be measured bV the nresent val
ue of the lands" Mr.. FriersOn
said. "but the government CON
tends, on the other hand that the
act clearly defines the invested
capital as the amount received I'm
exchange for its shares OF stock
plus any paid in or earned sur
plus used in the business"

DR.. Smith, who formerly resided

DIR. Houck, who was formerly

vision overseas. He has been ac-

Ice man. serving as a captain in
the late war. He is a graduate OF
the University of Oregon. an active
member of the American Legion
and is president of the state asso-
citation of Elks.
Reading between the lines the
appointments are regarded as a
signal victory for the forces who
have been contending for the ap-
pointment of DR. John Adele as
secretary of the state board of
health, in spite of the fact that the
executive has repeatedly asserted
his refusal to interfere in the ap-
pointment which he has character
lied as a function entirely within
the province of the. board itself.
The fact that two of the three new
are ex-service men is
regarded here as practically assur-
ing the selection of DIR. Adele,
whose friends have been urging his
selection by the board as an ex-
service man and a citizen of Ore
gon.
