DIVORCE CASE IN
DISTRICT COURT
JOHN scHUMAN ASKS FOR DI-
VoRcE FROM FLORENCE n.
scHuMAN, MAKING SERIOUS
CHARGE - DEFENDANT FILES
ANSWER.

In the district court this morning,
John Schuman filed charges of un-
faithfulness against his wife, Florence,
and asked that he be given a divorce
on these grounds. In her answer the
defendant alleges desertion.
The two were married a little over
two years ago and it is said the de-
PENDANT has children older than her
husband. The fact that Mrs. Schu-
man is so much older than her better
half, is where the trouble started. as
it is alleged Schuman grew tired of
his wife because OF this fact.
According to the testimony of Mrs
Schuman, she gave all of her bank
account to the plaintiff while they
were engaged and before the wedding
ceremony had taken place. She further
testified that he had sold her furni-
ture and with all this money, had
never given her back any coin, nor
had he contributed to her support.
She told on the stand this morn
ing of how he had suddenly left her
while the two were working together
Oh d AaIIh nSdT Mdpi6Loi, ana LhdI she
had never seen him since until this
morning in the courtroom. Since
that time, according to her testimony,
she has been living in Fargo and TAX
ing in washing to provide a living for
herself and one boy, by her first hus-
band.
Barnett e. Richardson are the at
torneys for the plaintiff and A. C.
Lacy is representing the defendant.

OF getting the correct, or nearly cor.

any OF the other states that have prac.
ticed the different systems.
At the present time there is bill
before the North Dakota legislature
known as III. B. IL, which calls tor
the establishment and regulation of a
tax commission. The speaker of the
evening pointed out some of the good
points of this bill and stated that he
hoped the house and legislature at
large would see fit to pass the measure.
as 1t would materially benefit the tax
payers of the state.
President McVey cited the state tax
commission systems that were being
practiced by Minnesota, Wisconsin and
some of the other states, and said
that it was up to North Dakota to take
up the lead that these had set, and
adopt similar measures.
AT the conclusion of the address the
meeting was turned to round table

Local businessmen returning from

ference to Commercial club accom-

behind other live places. After one
has visited the well arranged estab-
lishments to be found in other good
communities the club rooms at the

more than dingy and inadequate. They
are discreditable to the city.

PaSco, WASH, Marcn 81, lSll'
| Editor East Oregonian;
win you allow me space in your
valuable paper to answer an un-call-
ed for and scurrilous attack by the
other Pendleton paper in its issue OF
March 2S. under the caption OF
"None Slips from Hot Pan to Fire
The second paragraph of the article
N question contains the following:
He was unable TO obtain liquor IL
cense in Pendleton. so wended his
way 10 Pasco, where he was little
moro fortunate Now he is about TO
ne driven out from there also"
.TfG. A. Robbins can produce proofs
Of that assertion I am prepared TO
fake nv medicine. The facts of the
case are that when Pendleton went

liquor business here. had busl-
ness i'm Pendleton at the time which
was left in charge of hired help. Dur

The third paragraph states: But

THE NEW CONGRESS.

For the first time in nearly 20
bears a democratic congress convenes
tLuIorrow. More properly speaking
the lower house will be controlled by
the democrats. The senate will re-
main republican but as it will be DOM
mated by the progressives the change
viii be virtually as complete as in the
house for the majority in the senate
has also passed into the hands Of the
arti-administration forces.
What the new congress, will do is a
book that remains to be written. That
the leaders in the house are awake to
their responsibilities seems assured by
tie program they have outlined. Here
are the matters open to consideration
at the special session:
I. Election Of United States sena-
tors by vote of the people.
2. Legislation referring to the pub
hcity Of campaign contributions be-
fore and after election.
;. The Canadian reciprocity agree
nent. General tariff legislation and
legislation affecting the revenues Of
the government
4. The reapportionment of the
house 10 conform to the 18th census
S. Resolutions Of inquiry and reso-
iuriong torcbip,, IN iryo,.foo.izx -.
executive departments.
6. The admission of the territories
Of Arizona and New Mexico.
!. Any deficiency bills that the exi-
gencies Of the government may re-
Quire 70 be considered at this time
and bills to correct the enrolling Of
the appropriation bills passed March
4, 1911.
s. Legislation relating to District
Of Columbia.
1t is a good program. II the new
congress carries out the first reform
Indicated, the direct election of sena-
tors, that act alone should serve to
Justify the congress before the peo-
PIE. The country has long wanted d.
rect election Of senators. This is
sbundantly proven by the rapidity with
which other states are following the
lead Of oregon in prov ding for direct
eiections. People want senators elect
ed by direct vote because they have
come TO realize that this reform is i'm
perative II popular government is re-
ally to be perpetuated within the
United States. The senate has long
been the citadel where the special in
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-04-03

terests have held forth. BY controll-
ing the senate they have been able to
block reforms that are needed.
Since a direct election amendment
came close TO adoption in the old con-
gress 1t would seem that this reform
should have an easy passage through
the new congress. But this does not
necessarily follow. The democratic
party is not all progressive. The
party of the mule like the party of
the elephant is part progressive, part
roactionary 1t is an open question as
Ia which element will dominate the
democratic party now that the party
is being placed in power RESPONSE
bili,y always tends to produce con-
-evatism and the present instance
viii probably be no exception
During the next few months it will
be shown how the democratic party
under its congressional leadership will
stand with reference to legislation de-
sired by the people. If the party
swings too far towards conservatism
then the country will lose faith in the
democrats and it will turn to the pro.
Eressive republicans. on the other
hand if Champ Clark and his follow
srs prove too radical they will incur
the enmity Of powerful business IN
terests and SO jeopardize their chances
for continuance in power.
Maybe they can maintain an equi-
N5rium-for a time at least.
