CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
Defeated Candidates at Primary
Election Are Liable for Failure
to Report Expenses.

Failure to comply with the pri-
mary election law brings six candi-
dates for nomination at the last mum
icipal primaries into jeopardy un-
der the state law. A fine OF not
less than $25 or more than $500,
or Imprisonment. of not less than
ten days or more than six months,
hovers over the heads of these for
getful citizens.
The state direct primary law, as
amended by the legislature of 1909,
provides that within ten days after
the primary election candidates shall
file a statement of their campaign
expenses with an affidavit as to it's
accuracy.
The successful candidates did not
forget this obligation, but all of the
defeated ones did, and in consequence
are liable under the law.
The statements filed by the sue
cessful candidates showed the fol-
lowing modest expenditures: Harry

O'Hare, $50, ]. r. Hits, S43, II. B.

Replies to Pertinent Que sfion on
This Subject.
The Direct Legislation League Of

The Direct Legislation League of
the State of Washington.
Answering your question, What
have the people of Oregon accom-
plished with the initiative and refer
endum," 1 set down the following
acts:
1. They have made direct pri-
mary nominating elections law that
is much more satisfactory in its re-
suits than was the old convention
plan.
2. They have adopted practical
methods of selecting their U. S. Sem
ators, securing election by the legis-
lature of the candidates selected by
the people, thereby abolishing the
greatest single source of corruption,
waste and confusion in the legisla-
ture.
3. They have destroyed the poll
! tical machine and the job of the party
| bosses.
a. They have abolished railroad
passes within the state for public Of
| ficers as well as for private individ-
uals.
5. They have stopped the grafters
sale of franchises in Portland and
other cities.
| 6. They have deprived the legis-
lature of power to call a constitutions
al convention without the peoples
proval or referendum vote.
| 7. They have given cities home
rule in charter making.
s. They have taught the legis-
lature to respect the constitutional
provision against putting special ap-
preparations in the general appropri-
alton bill.
8. They have added the recall to
the constitution, giving the people
power to discharge state and local
officers who prove to be incompetent
or untrustworthy.
10. They have removed the con-
stitutional restrictions preventing
proportional representation and the
election by majority instead of
plurality vote.
II. They have passed laws re-
jected by the legislature for taxing
certain corporations.
12. They have rejected some un-
popular appropriations made by the
Legislature.
13. They have made a stringent
law against the excessive use of mon
ey in election; law which is design
ed so far as money is concerned, to
put a poor man on equal footing with
a rich man in seeking public office.
1t limits candidates to an expense
hardly exceeding One-fourth of
years salary in the office sought,
and the state bears large part of
the outlay in the distribution of lit
erature for parties and candidates.
IA. They have made start to-
ward protecting and preserving sal
mon and sturgeon in the Columbia
river and it's tributaries.
Is. They are developing a sense
of individual responsibility for the
success of self government in Ore
gOn, such as most men never felt
when the legislature had the eXclu-
sive right to make laws and propose
constitutional amendments
16 In addition to the above list
of results, other measures have been
secured and the people have rejected
eleven measures some proposed by
initiative petition and some proposed
!; by the legislature.

CONGRESSMAN MARTIN ACCUSES
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Colorado Representative Saws Wick
erSham Was Former Attorney for
the Sugar Trust, and Alleges That
as Attorney General He Bestowed
Philippine Lands.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The
charge preferred on the floor of the
house last Friday by Representative
Martin, Democrat, of Colorado, that
"the former attorney of the sugar
trust is now the head of the depart
ment of justice of the present admin
istration," brought forth a letter Of
denial from Attorney General Wick
ersham addressed to Representative
Bennett, of New York, and read into
the house record today. Mr.. Wick
ersham's letter follows:
II have read in the Congressional
Record of March 25 the statement
made by member from Colorado and
later on what purports to be quo
tation from newspaper editorial
reading, Attorney Wickersham the
former attorney of the sugar trust.
Enters q Denial
THAT such statements may not
gain any currency, | would like to
state, through you, / never was at
torney for the sugar trust-by which
understood is meant the American
Sugar Refining company and its al
lied or subsidiary corporations-nor
had any professional or business re-
1atiOns with it.
THE only possible foundation for
such a statement lies in the fact that
one of my partners, some three years
ago, was retained as counsel for the
American Sugar Refining company in
a single lawsuit brought against 1T.
Partner Defendeded COMPANY.
"Pursuant to such retainer, he as
sisted in the defense of the company
in that action and an appeal taken
from a judgment in its favor, but in
that lawsuit | was neither consult
ed nor did | render any service
Representative Martin was not on
the floor of the house at the time
the letter was read by Mr.. Bennett
but when advised of the matter an
nounced he intended to carry his
charges against the department OF
Justice to definite conclusion. lie
now has a resolution pending for an
investigation of the acquisition OF
Frair lands in the Philippine islands
by the Havemeyer interests.
SAYS Denial Is Evasive
Mr. Martin said in an interview
/ today:
THE attorney general, you will OBJ
serve, carefully avoided making any
denial of the principal features OF
NV charges, to wit: That his de
cision gave the sugar trust 10000
acres of Friar lands for price less
than the government paid for 1T. The
law plainly limits the sale OF pubic
4 lands to any one person or compan!
to $500 acres, and there is no ques
tion of the Friar lands being public
lands.

the west and northwest were fast

COAL WILL BE
SCARCE NEXT WINTER
Representative Of Leading Coal Com
pany Visits Payette to Arrange
for Early Winter Supply With Lo-
cal Agents.

Harry H. Kurtz, representing the
Kemmerer and Gum Queally Coal
companies visited Payette Tuesday
of this week for the purpose of con-
ferring with the local agents, Wells
& Maule of this city for an early
winter supply of coal for their pa
irons. In speaking of the coal situ-
alton the gentleman said, "The sec
tion that our mines supply with coal
is settling up so rapidly that when
winter sets in we are totally unable
to supply the demands made upon
our equipment. The indications all
point to it being much the. same dur
ing the winter weather this coming
winter as it was last winter and
FOR this reason we are taking spec
ial pains to urge all our agents to
get their patrons to lay in as great
a supply as possible in early fall.
During the summer and early fall
the demand upon our mines is not
20 severe and consequently we have
more time to devote to screening
and taking care of the output with
the result that the consumer who
lays in his supply of coal early gets
a better grade than in the winter
when we are crowded and have
thousands of orders from different
asking us to fill orders
at once as they are entirely out of
fuel. When this state of affairs is
prevailing and we are daily getting
kilograms from our agents Emporium
ing us to ship at once we naturally
in an attempt to get to them as
fast as possible neglect some of the
output more than when we have am
pie time"
