CARTER OPPOSES
KLAMATH PROJECT

The klamath irrigation project is
given a black eye in report drafted
by Senator Carter, chairman OF the
senate irrigation committee. says a
special from Washington to a Port
land paper. The report covers the OBJ
servations of his committee when 1t
inspected the government projects a
year ago last summer.
1t alleges, in substance, that the
klamath project should never have
been undertaken by the government,
as most of the land is in private own
ership. Moreover, without spscificial-
ly so charging, the report fntimates
there was gross frauds In the pur-
chase Of private canals which have
since been incorporated in the govern
ment project.
The reclamation service Is con-
demned for selling to Moore Broth
ers for 100000 a perpetual power
privilege on Link river on the govern
ment canal. The privilege is declared
by the committee to be worth $780,
900.
The report also holds 1t unconstitu-
tional to drain Tule Swamps as con-
templated by the government plans.
1.-The record of hearings held by the
| committee at klamath Falls disclose
| accusations which call in question the
good faith, IL not the integrity, Of
those charged with the management
of the reclamation service" says Car
| ter.
He says his committee did not have
| to sift these charges, but turned them
over to Secretary Ballinger for inves-
tigation.
II this portion of Carter's report Is
not altered it may be impossible to Sc
cure further allotments for the COM
pletion of the klamath project.

HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE
BAILEY'S OFFICE,

Salem, Ore, Jan. 18.-Action taken
by the house this morning for the
investigation of the office of State
Dairy and Food Commissioner ]. w.
Bailey may lead to the impeachment
of that officer and his removal from
office. The sentiment of the house
was plainly shown this morning in
the adoption of the resolution provid-
ing for the inquiry without a dissent
ing voice.
The resolution was introduced last
week by Abrams of Marion. It in
cluded a clause for the investigation
of the master fish warden and for
the state board of health, because
they are located in Portland. In the
resolution committee the proposal was
amended SO as to exclude investlga-
ton of these two offices, the members
unanimously declaring that there was
| no call for such inquiries.
An important provision, however
was inserted into the resolution pro-
viding that report De made by the
investigating committee within three
weeks
Passage Of a similar resolution I
| the senate, introduced by senator Not
tingham, is forecasted.
Provision is made for a committee
| of five, three from the house and two
| from the senate, who shall conduct
the investigation and be empowered
| to hire all necessary clerical help;
| Their epersonal expenses shall also be
betrayed.
Bailey's office Is very likely to be
the only one investigated at this ses-
sion. There are reasons for others
including the penitentiary, state treas.
urer's office and soldiers home al
Roseburg, but they will be killed ir
committee. A majority Of the house
members believe such investigations
merely provide opportunity for hand
ing out a large number of clerkships

URGES FLAT SALARY
FOR STATE PRINTER

Salem, Ore, Jan. 1s.-A bill pro-
viding for a flat salary for the state
printer, reviving the regular biennial
struggle over this question. was in
troduced in the senate yesterday af-
ternoon by Miller Of Linn, who con-
tends that the state can save large
amount of money by installing a
printing plant and doing its own
work.
The proposed law places the super
vision of printing in the hands Of
state board, consisting Of the gover-
nor, secretary of state and state
treasurer, who are represented by a
printing expert. The salary of the
printer is fixed in tentative way at
$4,000, the idea OF the trainers of the
bill being that the compensation shall
be named after close inspection OF
the situation.
Printer Gets Wealthy.
Senator Miller has an array Of dg-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-01-18

ures to present in support of this bill.
He asserts that the state printer un-
der the present system makes not less
than $4,000 profit in a four year
term, and says that with increasing
business the profit will be 100000
during the next four years.
The bill makes an appropriation of
$4,000 with which to buy a 100000
printing plant and meet all expenses
of the printing department for the
next two years. This sum Miller
thinks is ample for all purposes un-
der the flat salary rule and he COM
pares it with the expenses shown by
the budget for 1909-10, amounting
to $4,000. Estimating a normal in
crease, the secretary of state esti-
mates the expense for the next two
years at s120,OO0
Wants Tab on Work.
Miller argues that it is impossible
to fix printing rates on an equitable
basis to fit the varying conditions
Much time, he says, will be saved in
measuring and computing the rates
He further makes the point that the
purchase of material by the state
printer is now without supervision
and there exists no means Of question.
ing the method of purchase.
State Printer w. s. Duniway. Il
now in California for his health, his
physicians having ordered him to take
rest from all official duties. While
he will not be on the ground to pre-
sent his side of the question, he Il
not lacking in friends and the Miller
bill will run counter to a strong SEN
timent on the part of members whC
believe the state saves money by the
present system and should not en-
bark in the printing business.

RHEUMATISM
PURIFYING The BLOOD
TIE ONLY PERMANENT CURE

No case Of Rheumatism was ever
cured except by thorough purifca-
tion of the blood ; just as long as the
blood remains charged with ferment-
ing uric acid poison, the painful dis
ease will continue. The pains and
aches of Rheumatism are simply su-
perfcial effects of the impurities in
the circulation, and sometimes may
be temporarily relieved by the appli-
cation Of plasters, liniments, hot
cloths, etc. But the person who trifles
with this dangerous disease by de-
pending on local treatment alone, is
certain to pay for the mistake with
constant suffering later on. S. S. S.
cures Rheumatism in the only way it
is possible to cure the disease. It
goes down into the blood, and re-
moves the uric acid from the circula-
tion, so that the nerves, bones, mus
cles and joints are fabricated and fed
