FUNNY
BILL
PASSED
Penalty Clause Attached 20
legislative Act of 1908
Makes Vocation
Illegal

Any man who conducts a plumbing
shop or works in one in the state of
Oregon is subject to a fine and Inn
prisonment. This is the plain read
ing of the penalty clause in the act
of 1908 providing for a board Of
plumbing examiners and the issuance
of licenses. The text of the penalty
clause Of the act reads as follows:
ANY person who works at the bust
ness of plumbing, or maintains or
conducts a plumbing shop, in any in
corporated city or town in this state
containing more than 1000 inhabi-
tants, or otherwise violates any of
the provisions of this act. shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction thereof in a justice
court shall be punished by a fine of
not less than $40 or mere than 800"
The question came before Presiding
Judge George in the state circuit
court yesterday in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings relative to H. Claussenius,
Jr. He was arrested for breaking the
law and fined $25 in the police court.
With a view to testing the law, the
fine was not paid, and Claussenius APP
piled for a writ of habeas corpus
through the law firm of Paxton, Beach
& Simon. The writ was made return
able before Judge George yesterday
afternoon, when the facts in the case
came out.
"Who was the legal luminary that
drafted this law?" queried Judge
George after the punitive section had
been reached before him during the
argument as to the unconstitutionality
of the statute.
Nobody seemed to know to whom
the honor belonged. One of the law
yers suggested hat it might have
been written by a walking delegate
who didn't quit walking long enough
to discover any errors in his wording.
Attorney Simon declared the act
was also unconstitutional, because
like the BARRIERS license law, which
was poked full of holes by Judge
George, the legislature delegated it's
powers to a board. Arthur c. Spencer.
the assistant district attorney, ans
wered that the law is not vulnerable
in this respect, as the qualifications Of
a plumber are specified.
Judge George took the matter under
advisement. In view of the wording
Of the statute, only one decision is
looked for-that the law is unconsti-
t%utional. Otherwise all plumbers in
the state must go out of business.

Bread Enouqh for All.

It is generally conceded that if the rains in Kansas, Nebraska and Mis- souri cease so that the ripened wheat can be cut anc thrashed, the entire wheat crop of the country will ex- ceed last years output by about ten million bushels. The winter wheat in the fourteen principal winter wheat states will fall short about thirty mil lion bushels, but the spring wheat in the six leading spring wheat states promises to yield thirty-nine million bushels more. The chief spring wheat states are Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Washington, Iowa and Wisconsin. Idaho, Oregon and Mon tana also produce considerable spring wheat.
 The wheat acreage is five millions less this year, but the production per acre has met the ayreage deficiency and passed it. The crop is subject to some vlcissitudel still, but the pro Liabilities are tna. the total yield will exceed that O. last year.
 In the list of winter wheat states Kansas is easily first. Her estimated yield is put at sixty-fve million bush els. She is followed in order by Ne braska, Missol.i, Oklahoma, Texas, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee. The product of the last named state is put at ten millions of bushels. The great wheat states are however in the spring wheat belt. Minnesota leads all w4.h al estimated production of eighty-one million bushels, followed by North Dakota, whose production is pu. at seyenty-four million bushels, and South Dakota, which expects to produce fifty-one million bushels. Over one-third O. the wheat of the country is grown in Minnesota and the two | .kotas.

Cool Spot in Birminqham.

''The lobby of the First National bank building is one of the coolest spots it is possible to find on a hot day in Birming- ham," said lawyer. NO matter what the temperature may be outside the lobby is delightfully."- cool and there is nearly always a light breeze. l think this is largely due to the fact that there are five elevator shafts at one end of the lobby behind which are a number of windows that are kept open most of the time. Then there are a number of doors opening into the corridor from all sides, some of them giving free passage to currents of air started by numerous electric fans in va- rious parts of the building. I have noticed that the Woodward lobby while pleasant enough. is far from being as cool as that of the First National bank building. This is easily explained by the fact that it is smaller and has not so many in- trances.'

Cotton Mill Construction.

In the second quarter of the year ended June 30, plans were made and started that looked to the addition of 20, 600 spindles il Alabama; 25,956 in Georgia; 10000 ln Mississippi; GOODS in North Carolina, and 63,270 in South Carolinaa total for the quarter of 159,6s4 sp-nules. This. is at the rate of 600,000 splndles year, and it is a showing full of promise.
 This growth is parucularly gratifying in view of the fact that the mills are not at present making money The prices of the raw material and of fin ished goods have not been adjusted, and no mill likes the outlook. And yet textile progress is well maintained, especially in the Carolinas, where the subject is best understood
 Alabama is ont keeping step with the Carolinas. During the quarter just ended plans wer5 entered upon to add 600 spindles to the Girard cotton mills, and 10000 spindles to the mills at Launett. The Ide mills at Jacksen- vile are to have 10000 spindles. This makes 20,600 spindles in all to be added to Alapama mills.
 An addition of 10000 spindles each quarter would soon make Alabama a great textile state, but either of the Carolinas is tripling such result What either of the Carolinas is doing we could do if one man in each county center cou44 be found who is well sup piled with patriotism, energy, charac, ter and executive ability. The lack of I such leader explains why over thirty Alabama counties are with cotton mill

 General satisfaction was expressed in the financial district yesterday over the uncompromising stand which Judge Par ker has taken on the money question.

 The betting turned strongly in the direc- tion of Parker yesterday. The prevailing odds have been PIE to on Roosevelt. Yes terday they became much closer. F, H.

The Next President.
.om the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 The Cleveland Plain Dealer, the leading democratic paper in Ohios largest and most prosperous and progressive city, de- clares that the presidential campaign of 1904 cannot be a campaign of person. alities," because Doth candidates are men of high character and stainless life. There Is no possibility of personal scan- peachment of personal character in any respect. They are warm friends. Both are held in high regard by all who know them, without distinction of party. What ever may be the result of the election the next President of the United States is certain to be man of ability of cour- age, and of high moral character
 That just tribute to both candidates is inspired by a spirit that is not too prevalent in either party. The Post has expressed the opinion that we are going to have a comparatively quiet campaign, because of the absence of exciting issues and for the further reason that demo- cratic victory would not clothe that party with legislative power, but would put it on it's good behavior subject to the re- straint of republican senate. We trust that besides being reasonably quiet, the campaign will fulfill the prediction of the Plain Dealer as to personalities.
