SALEM, Oreg., October 25.—Oregon State finances were thrown into con- | fusion today by an opinion of the State | Bupreme Court holding unconstitutional | the new State znangible tax law. About $1.500.000 collected under the act must be_returned. The basis upon which the court held the act unconstitutional was it in- cludes individuals but not corporations. The court held the intangibles tax law violates a constitutional amendment teeing equal protection. The law imposed & tax of 2 per cent on interest money, dividends from stocks, bonds and mortgages, Wwhen such returns amounted to more than $200 annually. | CONFESSES PASSING | $250 IN BAD CHECKS He Has Written Ten Spurious Drafts Since September 1.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, October 35— ‘The Illinois Supreme Court ruled today that determination of whethér a Board of Trade transaction is gambling de- pends on whether the buyer and seller of a commodity intended that the deal ;‘houlu be consummated by actual de- very. ‘The decision was made in the case of James K. Riorodon against Willlam Mc- Cabe and others, involving notes de- posited by McCabe with Riorodon, Mar- tin & Co. McCabe did business with the brokerage firm over a three-year period, dealing in both futures and rivileges, and deposited notes for $30,- and $25,000 In the course of this time to cover his dealings. In fighting foreclosure on the note McCabe set forth that he did not in- tend to accept delivery, but was dealing as a speculator. The Bureau County Circuit Court upheld his contention that the transactions were gambling and that therefore recovery could not be made by the broker. The appellate court agreed and the Supreme Court coincided today. HOOVER POLICIES PRAISED BY SHAW! Letter Elucidating Term| “American System,” Speaks of High Standards. An elucidation of the term “the American system” ‘as used twice during the 1928 presidential campaign President Hoover and in by him dmfi‘b the xinnmueunfi:g recently, was offered. yesterda; Leslie M. Shaw, BSecretary 4 t.:: Treasury under President McKinley and President Roosevelt, in a letter to Senator Fess, chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee. Mr. Shaw saw the term as the policy and results of a protective tariff as practiced by the Republican party, adding a plea to “the sober minded in this time of stress, to cast party overboard and walk the mountain ranges with Hoover.” Mr. Shaw's letter read in part: that only in , and no- agriculture capable of learning, that the American pay roli is the American market. It is estimated " | that 90 per cent of the purchasing power . | ©f our people comes directly or indirect- ly from the rewards of industry, paid at stated intervals like wages, “hl‘lp; ll:d . | commissions. So when in 1929 utter chaos seemed imminent and Mr. Hoover warned the captains of production and transportation that the wage scale must not be cut, nor the standards of living lowered, he found ready response and ‘well nigh universal co-operation. Time Cut, Wage Same. “In some places men are now work- , |ing but three days a week, yet the wage scale remains the same. Few know their' jobs, at the old scale of s labor ‘Wages, are secure when Hence we have . | riots, few strikes and no lockouts. This is but a part of ‘the American system’ to which the President delights to refer. In Germany the government . has ordered a reduction in the wage scale, | and that seems to be the policy every. ef where except in America. Whether man are Democrats say Mr. Hoover has “!m‘fidl for um»loymenLh‘.lht knz - its remedy for unemployment, and their leaders make bold to assert it in nearly every speech. It consists in s prompt reduction i tariff rates to the end that we may import_more of the things our le now produce. This they say will sowe the unemployment problem. I chal- g lenge apy voter to name any other ! remedy that has been so much as squinted at by Democratic _orators. Their platform pledge is such tariff duties as will ‘promote effective for- eign competition’ Effective competi- tion is what the corner grocer experi- ences when a chain store opens across the street. “It would be well for every voter to take into account the future of his children. When I was born $580 in- vested in plant and equipment fur- ‘nished employment for one person. To- day it requires an investment of nearly $10,000 per employe. Unless a parent | can endow his child that child must find a place upon the pay roll, join an over-crowded profession or drift into the ranks of crime.

By the Associated Press. The Census Bureau is now hard at work at its task of establishing basic figures to be used in reapportioning the House of Representatives. ‘The last item necessary to work out this gigantic problem, the total of Indians not taxed, is now in the hands of census experts. The Constftution compels exclusion of Indians not taxed in the various State totals, and since this information cannot be gathered by census enum ators, it has to be compiled by Indi Bureau officials in co-operation with Census officials. This has been done, but Census Di- rector William M. Steuart said no an- nouncement of the number of Indians not taxed nor of their distribution by States would be made until the complete census statement was in the hands of the President. A legal question arose as to whether changes in the citizenship status of Indians in the past 10 years would eliminate the item of “Indians not taxed,” but Steuart said the Indian Bureau had found many still legally in- cluded in that classification. The law requires the Census Bureau to place in the hands of the President at the opening of Congress a statement showing the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed, together with the number of Representatives to which each State would be entitled under the count. Gives House for Maintenance. LYNCHBURG, Va., October 25 (Spe- cial).—A small house and lot, Monroe street near Eighth street, has been conveyed to the City of Lynchburg by James A.

HANKOW, China, October 26 (Sun- day).—Miss Bergliot Evenson, Ameri- can Lutheran missionary stationed at Loshan, Honan Province, who was taken prisoner by bandits, has been released and arrived here safely today. Miss Evenson and Rev. K. N. Tvedt, a Norwegian, and his wife were taken prisoners when the Communist army raided Loshan October 16. A letter re- ceived here said the captors demanded maintenance at the City Home and @ ransom of $200,000. Nothing further has been heard of the Tvedts. Communists today carried their war- D.

Sweeping over Honan, the Reds added that province to the area of ban- dit destruction and massacre wrought in Kiangsi, Hupeh and Hunan Prov- inces. Several American missionaries fled when cities of Southern Honan were plundered. Numerous American priests were isolated at other towns, and their fate was unknown. Rev. Bert Nelson, Mhlnelgolil. cap- tured by bandits at Kwangshan Octo- ber 5, was held for $300,000 Mexican ransom (about $105,000 gold). The whereabouts of Nelson, attached to the Lutheran United Mission, was un- known. Spurred by United States con- sulate requests for action, the Na- tionalist government ordered Gen. Ho Ying-Ching, at Chengchow, to attempt his release. Priest Has Close Call. Father Thomas Megan, American Catholic priest, arrived at Sinyang, after narrowly escaping capture when Communists poured into Loshan. The city gates were reported opened by disgruntled and mutinous Nationalist soldiers. Moving on to Kwangchow, the out- laws besleged the city, which houses several Swiss Catholic priests and two German_sisters. Much concern was felt in Hankow for their welfare. of the Society of Divine Word, with which Catholic_missionaries in Honan Province are affliated, telegraphed to- day from Sinyang that the American priest, Pather Joseph Henkels, normally stationed at Loshan, was at Sinyang, il of typhus. Henkel's home is at Dyersville, Towa. CITY RULE Cruiser SUSPENDED American Expected Honduras During Elections.
