Commissioner West said that until he
was entirely eonversant with the details
OF the decision. he would be unable TO ex-
press an opinion. He said. however. that
he believed that even though the New
York case might not be exactly analogous
to the Washington situation, II would
show 10 the people that the Gas Company
might make a profit by selling their
product for 50 cents.
In the opinion Of Corporation Counsel
E. II. Thomas. there are only few
points where the New York case parallels
that Of the Washington Gas Com
pany. He said that until fuller report
was given by the Supreme Court, he
could not express an opinion with any
exactness- He said that the franchises

subject most directly interesting 20 large

disposition Of the Ss,000.000 Of excess pay

INCREASE IN APPLICANTS.
Annual Report of the Civil Service
Examinations for Year,

Eighty thousand more applicants for
civil service examinations were made in
1893 than in the previous year. according
to the twenty-ffth annual report Of the
Civil Service Commission.
The report shows an increase Of s. Der
cent over the preceding year Of applicants
for the regular spring examinations for
departmental service
This increase Of persons desiring 10 en-
ter the service Of the government is at
tributed to financial depression
IN the matter OF appointments. It is
shown that in the year more than 3. coo
persons were appointed through cOnpeti-
tive examination. The report also brings
10 light the fact that more than 12000 pO-
sitiOns in the government service were
added TO the number subject 10 examina-
ton under civil service rule. This in
crease, il is stated, was due 10 the great
extent OF new work. The report gives
many other interesting facts.

OREGON WEEKLY ROASTS
COLLEGE POLITICS
Kind In Vogue at eugene Called Dirt.er
Than State Variety-GirIs'
Influence Bad.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene
Ore, May 10.-A sensation was Great
ed yesterday in University of Oregon
circles by an EDITORIAL in The Oregon
Weekly, the college paper. declaring
that college politics is dirtier than
state, and that the influence of wom-
ell is not too good in this direction.
The deduction is intimated, that wom-
ans suffrage will be a failure.
The editorial in part says politics
is dirty business. University politics
rs no exception. No student ever med
died in the real brand of university
politics and kept his fingers clean. No
more despicable phase of political
corruption is to be observed than the
trading of votes on the wholesale plan.
The influence of the girls is great in
whatever line they may choose to ex-
ercise it. That many of them should
sto0p annually to countenance and par
tcipate in the dirty dealings of corrupt
politics is the shame of our college"

PASTOR WANTS TO

Can1as Minister Thinks He Can

problem waits the city council of Ca
mas. Wash. in eastern Clarke county
across the Columbia, next Tuesday,
when it must act on the application of
the pastor of the Camas Methodist
Episcopal church to be appointed city
tarShal. Rev. Mr.. Huston is the min I
ister with the ambitions of a sleuth
and his object is to smoke out alleged
Niolators of the Sunday closing law.
The police force so far has met little
success in enforcing the blue laws,
but the pastor says all he needs is au-
shorty to go ahead. He claims liquor

months and he has had hard words for

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The sug-
gestion of William j. Bryan through
The Commoner that the government
discontinue its questionable policy of
issuing liquor tax receipts to persons
desiring TO engage in the liquor bust
ness in dry territory is receiving
considerable attention in Washington.
Not that the members of congress
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
adopting the Nebraskan's suggestion.
Mr.. Bryans recommendation is at
tracing the attention of the lawmakers
because his proposition is a matter of
great moment to them. They do not
want public opinion focused at the evil
owing to the fact they are hostile to
| any legislation that will correct it.
and do not desire to have their attitude
become a matter of public discussion.
The condition brought into the light
by Bryan is one that the average per-
son would not believe existed Although
the matter has been before congress on
several occasions, the public has heard
put little of the debates, owing TO the
fact that subjects involving the cues
ton of prohibition receive but little
attention from the great press asso-
Citations.
The real point at issue, however
really has nothing to do with prohi-
bition. The principle involved is
whether the government should aid en-
J terprises in states where they are made
unlawful by state laws
For instance the state of Maine has
been made prohibition by a vote of. the
people. Regardless of the fact that if
/ Is unlawful for persons to engage in
1 the sale of liquor within that state the
| government has issued 35S liuuor-tax
receipts to persons within the state
! Which gives them the right to engage
; IN Illegal traffic so far as the federal
government is concerned. From federal
liquor tax receipts spring UP countless
speak-easies" and blind pigs"
In Baltimore, city with license.
there are 2340 saloons, in addition to
which there are us persons holding Ii
Quor tax receipts. Kansas has 25s7
lquor tax receipts to be used in yio-
tation of its laws: Connecticut | 047
Philadelphia 1900.
In 1907 the federal government is
sued 2'6,f4S liquor tax receipts which
authorized that number of persons to
engage in the retail sale of spirituous
liquors, and 1926 were authorized t.
