State Engineer Edward Hyatt to-
day forecast prompt action by the
federal government on California s
application for financing of the
S17O, 100000 Central Valley water

brighter hue for more than dozen
Californians whose citizenship sta
tus ended temporarily because OF
prison terms.
Governor James Rolph has grant

tions this week, and was expected to
sign four more before Christmas.
Nearly all of them affected per-
sons whose prison terms had end

been removed because of incarcer-
alton. The pardonS cleared their
names of any prison stigma.
The heavy Christmas pardon ac-
tivity was the result of application
delays. Some of the applications
and recommendations have been or

layed by the advisory pardon board

PETITION FOR
VALLEY LOAN
RECQNS|DERED

Reconsideration of an application,
once rejected, for commissioners
loan, is being undertaken by the
federal land bank, according to in
formation received by the applicant.
The ranch on which the loan is
asked is near Calexico.
Information has also been re-
ceived locally that the bank is
making a special study of Imperial
Valley, DR.. w. West, who previously
made a study of rural credits for
the Gianinni foundation being in
charge. He is particularly fitted
for a study Of this kind, and local
ranchers feel that little will be
done in the way of commissioner
and federal land bank loans until
this study is completed, it is be-
lieved.
In commenting on the situation,
Scott B. Foulds, secretary OF the
farm bureau and correspondent to
IIle dSeIlU VI Gllc COllillllooiOAiCi, ooJo
that the land banks are enlarging
their activities rapidly, ever $4,000
900 being loaned in California dur
ing the month of November which
is more than that loaned in the
entire last year.
Foulds stated that he believes
that the bank is proceeding as rap
idly as it can with safety. In view
of the fact that some very un-
desirable loans were made when
the bank first entered the valley
in 1917, undoubtedly the bank in
tends to go very slowly and net
repeat that experience which was
unfortunate both for the bank and
for Imperial Valley.
IT am reasonably confident that
! if we wait patiently for the banks
decision, the bank will make any
loans to which we are entitled
None of us want the banks
to make bad loans which will be
detrimental to our credit

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. %. U.P)
Ten persons were known dead,
property damage was estimated in
the millions and thousands of per-
sons had been driven from their
homes today as the worst rain
storm in the Pacific north vests
history continued into its sixth day.
LoWland sections of Washington
and Oregon were under water.
Countless roads were blocked. Tel

many sections from last Sundays

Thousands of men will be given
employment repairing flood dam
age when the storms and flood
abate. CWA and CCC forces have
been pressed into service in many
places to aid flood-stricken victims.
The town of Woodland, Wash,
was almost all under water.
The gravest situation faced Kel-
so. Wash, where the Cowlitz river
today was breaking over the dixie,
weakened to such an extent that
apprehension for safety of residents
of the town was felt keenly.
Hundreds of homeless in the
Grays harbor country, on both sides
of the Columbia river, at the ex-
treme eastern edge of the city of
Portland, and numerous other low
sections of the northwest.
! For a time today highway travel
was blocked north, east and west
from Portland. Railroad trains
were hours late and their progress
impeded by recurrent slides.
The only bright spot in the whole
picture was the diminishing wind
on the coast which today allowed
I Is vessels storm bound at Astoria
for days to pass out of the Colum-
bia river to sea.
Rivers Swollen
The Willamette and Columbia
rivers, fed by thousands of smaller
streams, many of which were out
of their banks, continued to rise
and flood stage was forecast for
Portland.
The Cowlitz river was rising at
the rate of two-tenths of a foot an
Eour and had reached the 25-foot
stage. The Lewis river, which was
inundating Woodland, rose rapidly
today when it became necessary to
open all the flood gates on the
huge Ariel power dam, loosing 1885,

The forecast offered no relief. A

rain but not much wind, centered

other was moving eastward in the

This was accomplished by diplo-

fully composed differences between
the French government and the
federal alcohol control commission
here which had been on the polnt
of declaring an embargo on French
wines and liquors.
Under the agreement the original

This quota can be drawn upon I'M

In return the French government

France will import 100000 qulntals
(about 10000 tons) of American ap-
ples and pears. The value OF tne
latter is estimated to be practlcally

AGREE UPON
WHISKY TAX
House Ways And Means Com
mittee Decides Upon Levy Of
81 Per Gallon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. UP
The house ways and means COM
mittee today virtually completed
drafting a liquor tax bill carrying
a levy of So per gallon whisky, 50
per barrel on beer, and low taxes
on wines.
A tax of So per gallon also was
approved for gin, brandy and other
spirits.
It was estimated the taxes would
yield the federal treasury $500, 0,000,-
900 annually.
The committee, anxious to get the
bill through early next session, dis
carded the plan for sharing liquor
revenues with states and indicated
the measure would not carry a pro-
vision for adoption of a trade bar
gaining policy on liquor imports.
These two proposals, it was feared,
would prolong congressional debate
and delay passage of the bill.
The vote for a whisky tax of So
per gallon or so cents per quart
was 13 to 0. The Democrats lined
up solidly for the levy and the nine
Republicans voted present.
The bill calls for a 10-cents a
gallon tax on still wines of not
more than IA per cent alcoholic
volume; a 20 cent a gallon tax on
still wines of Ia to 81 per cent al
coholic content; and 40 cents a
gallon on wines between 81 and "a
per cent.
Champagne and sparkling wines
| would be taxed 80 cents a gallon
and artificially carbonated wines
40 cents. All wines over "a per
cent alcoholic content would be sub
| jected to the 50 levy the same as
distilled spirits.
Huge Revenue Expected
The beer tax was set at SIS pei
barrel regardless of alcoholic con-
tent. Chairman Doughton estimat-
ed the whisky tax would bring IL
5000, 100000 annual revenue tbs
first year; the wine tax $40, 100000
and the beer tax S160,000,000. Ir
addition import duties and occupa-
! tional taxes are expected to bring
in at least $100,000,000
Doughton emphasized that the
So tax had only been "tentative-
ly agreed upon, indicating thai
before the bill reaches the house
there is a possibility of a revision
Doughton denied the whisky ratt
was requested by the administra
ton. The President IS COMMITTEES
had proposed a tax of $3.50 pc
gallon.
In discarding the plan for shar
ing revenues with states original,
urged by the President IS committee
Doughton said his group decided
"that there were too many diff
ficulties in the way, especially owe
the question of whether dry state
should receive a share.'

WEAVER GETS
JUDGEMENT IN
ADAMS CASE

A judgment of $4,000 was award
ed o. c. Weaver against Burleigh
E. Adams by Judge R. D. McPher-
rim in superior court this morning
It was a judgment by default as
Adams had failed to answer the
complaint of Weaver or contest tie
action in any way. Weaver had
originally asked damages OF $24,-
914.46. He was represented by Ross
T. Hickcox of the firm of Hickcox
and Trude.
This judgment is the elimination
of the action taken by Weaver
against Adams, former chairman OF
the irrigation district board OF di-
F, rectors following the shooting o..
| the former by Adams in the WOOD
row hotel, Brawley, on the morn
| ing of October 8.
A complaint charging assault with
a deadly weapon was filed against
Adams by Weaver's sister and also
an indictment on the same charge
was brought by the county grand
jury. Adams pleaded guilty 70 the
charge and was sentenced to san
/ Quentin by Judge Vaughn Thomp-
son at the conclusion OF his trlai'
/ This sentence was suspended, now
ever, and Adams placed on pro-
baton.
