MAHAN WAS
NOT SLAYER
Of OFFICERS

PUYALLUP, Wash. July II {Up)-
Belief that Chief of Police Frank
Chadwick and Patrolman Harry
Storem were killed by bank bandit
Monday because they knew the rob-
ber, was announced by Pierce
county police today as they sought
the arrest of Cole c. Taylor, 80, an
ex-convict, in connection with the
crime.
1t had been thought for a time
that William Mahan, fugitive want
ed in the Weyerhaeuser kidnapping
case, was the killer.
Taylor, a -four time loser" who
was paroled from Walla Walla
penitentiary May l, was identified
from photographs as the gunman
who held up and robbed Leslie
Stone, cashier of the Orting State
bank, of $500, only few minutes
before Chadwick and Storem we're
shot dead as they attempted to stop
the robbers car.
Taylor had been reporting to
Chief Chadwick monthly since his
release. Police said Chadwick un-
doubtedly recognized Taylor and for
that reason did not draw his gun
in time to prevent the robber from
emptying his gun at the officers.
Police said Taylor has been
missing from his home since Monday
morning.
:, A posse of more than 300 police
and volunteers has been searching
unsuccessfully for the killer since
Monday afternoon.

NORTH BALkS
At PROPOSED
RELIEF PLANS
Supervisors Of Many Counties
Protest Against Policy As
Outlined By Government

SACRAMENTO, July II. U.P)-
County supervisors of northern
California today were on record in
favor of immediate return to coun-
ties of the power to direct unem-
ployment relief along local lines.
Meeting in protest against fed
eral relief policies, rs county Off
cialS passed resolutions favoring To-
cal control of purse strings and
sweeping changes in the relief set
up that would permit decentrali-
zation of control and formation of
relief program based on the
needs of individual counties.
In keeping with this sentiment,
the group named a committee con-
sisting of Edward Morris, Sacra-
mento; Col. o. G. Weyman, San
Joaquin county social welfare di-
rector, and Charles w. Deterding,
Sacramento county manager, to
draft a statewide relief program
based on local needs and submit
the proposal to Harry Hopkins
federal relief administrator.
Informed by M. H. Lewis, SERA
representative, that the federal
government expected the counties
to provide 20 per cent of the en-
tire actual work relief cost, several
of the delegates declared that il
would mean 'prohibitive in
crease" in basic tax rates.
THE increased burdens upon
counties brought about through the
new state old-age pension, ex-
panded orphan aid and federal de-
mands of $17O per relief man and
that counties hospitalize all sick
relief workers will total a tax bur-
den many California counties can
not bear" said j. H. Hunter, Las
sen county supervisor.
What will happen when they
stop all relief?" he asked.
William Jerome, Orange county
supervisor, turned his attack on the
state government for its central
ization of power" and scored the
federal government for refusing tc
consider the needs of individual
counties.

MORE BILLS
|. GET APPROVAL
Of GOVERNOR
Many Others, Including Some
Important Measures, Still
Await Signing Or Veto

SACRAMENTO, Calf, July II U,n)
Despite an increased tempo that
saw Gov. Frank F.. Merriam's pen
approve bills at the rate of so dhy,
373 bills still remained for con-
sideration today as the deadline Of
midnight, July 20, drew near.
The governor planned two-day
vacation from bill-signing, to visit
the Salinas rodeo and review the
national guardsmen in training at
San Luis Obispo. Unless the daily
rate is increased, he will have more
than 300 bills to dispose of on the
final day, and to date final action
on such controversial measures as
the chain store tax, gin marriage
repeal, Huntington Beach tidefend
oil royalties and others has been
avoided.
With the exception of few bills
of major Importance, the week has
seen approval of only routine
propositions.
Most recent announcements of the
governors office revealed approval
of two governmental reorganization
bills. One of these abolisheS the
SO, 900 a year salary of the director
OF penology, a post that has been
vacant since the death of Daniel
O'Brien, former San Francisco
police chief.
The second measure creates a
salary of $4,000 year for director
of motor vehicles who will be ap-
pointed by the governor and, in
tulVl, has the power to appoint the
registrar of motor vehicles and the
chief of the California highway
patrol, positions formerly filled by
the governor.
Other bills signed recently include
Limiting the compensation OF
paWnbrokers to not more than per
cent per month on loans of $500 or
less and 2 per cent per month on
loans in excess of $500. A minimum
charge of SO cents a month is per-
mitted.
Permitting the unconditional re-
lease by county authorities Of aliens
confined in county jails who volun-
tarily consent to deportation.
Authorizing prison directors to set
the price of prison-made jute bags
at not more than IL cents above
net cost and limiting the sale to
consumers only between October

PRESIDENT To
STAND PAT On
HIS PROGRAM
Insists Congress Must Pass The
Legislation He Desires Before
Adjourning

WASHINGTON, July II Up -
President Roosevelt convinced he
has a strong case, revealed at a
White House press conference today
that he is determined on enactment
of his legislative program this ses-
sion despite hopes of many con-
gressmen for early adjournment.
Mr.. Roosevelt, as a lawyer, re-
called laughingly that it is an old
trick of the defense when its case
is weak to ask that it go over until
the next session of court.
He feels that is what is happen
ing in congress now in the drive
for adjournment without the enact
ment of measures that he considers
desirable, such as the tax program.
For the third time in as many
weeks, the President repeated that
through at this session, although he
pointed out that he had not dis
cussed it recently with congressional
leaders.
From the question of adjournment
the President turned to discussion
of the New England circuit court
decision declaring the AAA process
ing taxes unconstitutional.
He said the administration would
keep right on with its program until
a final decision was handed down
by the supreme court. Meanwhile
he suggested that neWspapermer
confer with the attorney general as
to whether the circuit court decision
automatically prevents collection Of
the taxes within the jurisdiction Of
that particular court.
The President then turned tt
works allotment funds as regards
Louisiana, remarking that the work
progress part of the program in that
state was all right, but a difficult
question yet remained to be settled
as to PWA loans and grants. He
made it plain that federal funds,
if they were to be expended in
Louisiana, would have to remain
under federal supervision.
The President spent 10 minutes
explaining administration foreign
trade policies, stoutly defending the
recent agreements with Russia and
Brazil.

textile and weaving mills, cotton
gins and manufacturers of speciality

These suits attack processing
taxes from all angles. Most Of them
seek injunctions against further tax
collection on the grounds that the
processing payments are doing ir-
Ieparable injury to the professors.
Other suits seek refunds of taxes
paid. A few, including the Hoosac

the constitutionality of the Roose-
