CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE
OREGON LEGISLATURE

Salem, Ore, Jan. 24.-(Special cor
respondence. .)-Liquor interests of
the state have adopted an entirely
new tack to bring about the relief
sought from the operation of the strin-
gent provisions of the local option law
from what was originally intended.
1t is understood that no attempt will
be made to secure beneficial amend
ment to that conditionally prohibitory
act directly. but instead, the liquor
element and particularly the brewers,
will strive to secure the enactment of
laws that will increase the public
benefits from the liquor traffic as
source of revenue and extend them to
the county and state, whereas the ben
efits now accruing from the licensed
sale of Intoxicating beverages is con-
fined to municipalities and the gov
ernment exclusively.
The first measure of this kind to
have put in an appearance before the
present session OF the legislature was
introduced in the house yesterday by
Representative Dye of Clackamas, the
first glance at which would indicate

of closing every place of amusement
in the state on the Sabbath. The ef-
feet OF this amendment IL adopted,

wont to keep their doors open after
moons and evenings and Sunday is by
far their most profitable day.

LEGAL CRIMINAL
The Standard Oil TansIs.


Counsel for the Standard Oil COM
pany has attacked the validity of the
governments indictments against the
trust on the ground that the old anti
rebate act was repealed when the pres
ident signed the Hepburn rate bill on
June 20 and that when on the day fol-
lowing resolution was passed and
signed suspending the operation of the
rate bill for sixty days an interval of
immunity was created during which
the indictments were returned The
answer of the department of justice is
that the rate bill could not have be-
come law until it had gone to the
state department June 80, the date the
joint resolution was passed.
President Nichols of the Republic Oil
company admitted that he was merely
a dummy and that he held stock in
trust for the Standard, of which he
was an employee formerly. He said he
received the dividends, but turned
them over to W. G. Rockefeller.
Burnham Gets Wo years.
George Burnham, Jr., general coun-
sci and vice president of the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company, was
sentenced Dec. II to serve two years
in Sing Sing prison at hard labor. He
had been convicted of grand larceny
on five counts four of which are still
pending Through counsel Burnham
secured from Supreme Court Justice
O'Gorman an order to show cause why
certificate of reasonable doubt should
not be issued.
Another Oil Trust Exposure.
Under the probing of Attorney Gen
eral Hadley of Missouri while examin-
ing j. A. Moffett, director of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
the president of the Indiana Branch
company, it was admitted under oath
that the cost of gallon of oil now is
cent or cent and quarter. At
the prevailing wholesale and retail
prices the yearly profit on oil produced
by the Standard is estimated at about
$50000,000.

voted to the payment of inheritances
from past wars and expenditures for
future wars. He called attention to
the arguments of the army promoters
that it was no use to have an army
unless you have guns and Notifications
and now that $100,000,000 had been ap-
propriated for seacoast Notifications,
the argument was, "What is the use of
having guns and Notifications unless
you have menu" Thus, he said, it was
the constant pressure of the army to
aggrandize itself first for men, then for
guns and then guns and then men.

LEGISLATIVE
Presidents Canal Message.


The expected bombardment of con-
gress with special message last week
began when the president sent in
three dealing with the Panama canal,
the land frauds in the west and the
personnel of the navy. The canal mes
sage was an interesting story of his
observations during his recent visit on
the isthmus and was accompanied by
series of photographs showing graph
ically the progress of the work done
and the conditions under which the
laborers live He praises the work
of the commission and refers to critics
as "slanderers and libelers," but adj
vises the appointment of one canal
commissioner instead of seven. Con-
fidence is expressed in the ultimate
success of the project
In his land grab message the pres
ident urges the necessity Of new laws
to make the fraudulent acquisition of
government lands more difficult and
advises leasing lands to private indi-
viduals and corporations for operation
AS to the navy, he would have the
law changed so that younger officers
may reach the highest rank. He urges
the revival of the grade of vice ad-
miral. Under the proposed law Off
GERS may reach the grade of captain al
forty-eight and admiral at fifty-five
thus assuring their. service in each OF
these positions for seven years.
Report on tho Japanese Question.
Later the president transmitted tc
congress the report Of Secretary Met
calf on the Japanese trouble in Cali
fornia and repeated his threat of using
federal powers to maintain treaty
rights in case the people Of Californis
do not show the proper disposition
Metcalf's report testifies to the very
small number of Japanese children who

that he would have no objection what
ever to excluding from the schools any
Japanese on the score of age, saying
that it is obviously not desirable fol
young men to go to school with chill
dren, consequently the only real ISSUE
is the exclusion of Japanese childen

the Northwestern railroads, all of
which will be merged into one great
system, aggregating 10000 miles. A
company will be organized in which
the government will have a majority
of the stock, issuing securities in ex-
change for those outstanding of the
merged companies. 1t is hoped that
by reduction of expense and the elm

win pay dividends on all stock at an
early date.
