Cat Is Taught Like
Child Not To
Kill Birds

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Al-
though cats in New York State
are blamed for killing millions
Of birds annually, there is cat
in Monsey, Rockland county,
that has been taught not to
harm birds.
"When we moved into the
country" said Mrs. Raymond Al.
King, I'VE found living about
the grounds phoebes, sparrows,
wrens, catbirds, humming birds
and bluebirds. What was my
horror the very first morning
to have our big old mother cat,
which had been taught to re-
spect our canary's rights, lay q
sparrow at my feet?
81 took Mrs. Pussy in my
arms and talked in exactly the
same strain ] would to a child.
I took her out on the porch and
introduced her to the phoebes.
I showed her nests and made
her feel ashamed Of herself.
"The effect was that the baby
phoebes grew in comfort and
all disappeared in perfect con-
dition; not q nest was dis
turbed."

INCOME TAX IS
UNDER FIRE
IN ORE.
Referendum Probably Will Be
invoked Against Bill Legis-

BY JAMES s. SHEEHY,
international Nawa SERVICE.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 6.-Voters
of Oregon went to the polls today
to cast their ballots on the referen-
dunn measure against the State in
come tax bill passed at the last
regular session of the legislature.
A heavy vote was promised, with
indications that the referendum
would be invoked by large ma.
jority.
Business men, corporations and
white collar" workers of moderate
incomes oppose the income tax
farmers favor 1t.
The Oregon Just Tax League
and the State Income Tax Referen-
dunn League are the two organiza-
tons which have actively fought
the State income tax bill ever since
it's passage. Each organization sent
workers into the field and sufficient
petition signers were obtained to
refer the measure to the people.
The State income tax bill pro-
vides for graduated tax and would
be imposed upon every resident or
nonresident individual corporation
doing business in the State of
Oregon. One per cent would be taken
on the first 81 900 of taxable in
come. The tax increases one-quarter
Of 1 per cent on each additional thou
sand Of taxable income or part
thereof.

Exemptions follow closely the
Federal income tax. The personal
exemption is $1,000 for a single in
dividual; $4,000 for a, married man
with family and $4OO to each de-
pendent. Resident or nonresident
corporations are allowed an exemp-
ton of $4,000.
do not invest your money in.
Oregon. Invest it in California or
Washington" This is the open state
ment OF the negative arguments
sponsored by the two organizations
which instituted the referendum ON
the measure. Their argument con.
tinues:
1.-The enactment of the State in
come tax law is a threat Of pun
ishment to capital that is seeking
investment in Oregon. This threat
has already kept millions of money
out of Oregon, while California and
Washington are prospecting from a
flood Of newly invested capital. If
this threat Keeps millions out of
Oregon what will happen if we
adopt the income tax law?
1--WE have one income tax law
now-the Federal. The State in
come tax law passed by the last
legislature, If adopted By the
people in November, means another
income tax law. Oregon would then
be the only Pacific Coast State to
impose State income tax on top
of the Federal income tax we al.
ready have"
The affirmative argument is
signed by Governor Walter M.
Pierce. Democrat and dirt farm.

Rosher's losses became tremendous.
The American revenue people were
out to break Kosher. They sue

He had many adventures. On
one occasion he was running q
motor boat load from one of the
islands off the Florida coast when
he was caught in a storm which
disabled the craft. Kosher drifted
aloag the Gulf Stream for some
time and was picked up by a ship
bound for New York. They towed
his boat until they had consumed
most Of the liquor, seized the rest,
cut the boat adrift, and landed
Kosher penniless in New York.
He has since disappeared.
Roaming these seas, greedy az
sharks, are the pirates, who prey
upon the bootleggers, armed for
desperate encounter. To cite a sea
tragedy Of a short while ago-a
ship left the island with valuable
cargo of whiskey aboard and was
found later drifting helpless and
deserted, The crew were never
seen again. The cargo is gone
and the vessels decks splintered by
bullets and strewn with cartridge
cases.
Double Crossed.
Here is another story of the
Spanish Main today. A Nassau
firm was taking load Of liquor to
the order of an American boot
logger. Having space to spare, the
ship packed second cargo Of
whiskey aboard to peddle in Rum
Row.
with a. supercargo aboard she
sailed north, and the next that
Nassau knew Of the expedition was
the return Of the schooner with a
crew in handouts. They piIoted
the ship home with great difficulty
land reported that the bootleggers
had taken their ordered cargo.
Finding the extra liquor, they had
tied the supercargo in the cabin,
handcuffed the crew, and stolen
everything.
these misfortunes they smile sar-
castically and tell you that most
all of them jobs was frame-ups
organized by the crews, who wanted
to get in on the deal and pick up
a DIT Oh CHEAP IIiOhSy.
Piracies, they say, are more un-
common than frameups. But there
is good deal Of enmity and COM
petition in the business, and 1t is
hy no means unknown for a boot
logger to buy load Of liquor and
for the vendors to hold him I'D
later and take the stuff from him.
Purchasers Rob.
Rum-runners have been boarded
by ostensible purchasers who. "once
aboard the Iugger," have stuck up
the crew with guns and departed
with the cargo. The bootleggers. in
turn, are sometimes held up by
"highjackers" ashore, who steal the
whiskey in turn. Or, If they sell it
to distributors ashore, the bootleg
gers often devise plan for stealing
ii back again, with the aid of fast
motors and gun play.
And so the merry game of rogue
against rogue goes on, with for
tunes made, fortunes lost. fortunes
stolen, and no great value placed
on lives. There is no appeal to the
