Court to Pass on Insurance Case.

Some time this winter the antitrust
proceedings against about forty fire
insurance companies operating in Kan
sas, will be passed upon by the SUI
preme court. 1t was submitted to that
court the other day by agreement and
without argument. The case is four
years old and was started in the dis
trict court of Shawnee county by Fred
S. Jackson when he was attorney gen.
eral. The case involved nearly all OF
the fire insurance companies doing
business in the state-eXcept the mu-
tuals. 1t was charged by the attorney
general that they were violating the
antitrust law through the use of rate
sheets put out by the Eldridge Rating
Bureau of Topeka. 1t was charged
that all the companies made the rates
furnished them by Charles &. Eldridge
after an investigation of the risk in
each town. In the district court the
state lost, and notice of an appeal was
served. In the meantime Attorney
General Jackson discovered new evil
dence and on the strength of it asked
the district court for a new trial
Judge A. w. Dana sustained a de-
murrer filed by attorneys for the fire
insurance companies. Then a second
case was brought to include the new
evidence. The cases are really the
same with the exception of the added
evidence in the second one. They will
be considered by the Supreme court
at one time.

Apples Wasting on Kansas Farms.

Hutchinson, Kan.-Thousand of BUSH
els of the finest apples ever grown
in Kansas are going to waste on the
ground under the trees of Reno coun-
ty farms. Fruit is so plentiful, and
the farmers so busy sowing wheat
that they do not find it worth while
TO neglect their wheat to haul apples
to market with prices so low. I'll
venture that there are 100000 bushels
of fine apples rotting on the ground
in the far morchards within there
townships around Hutchinson" said
Judge NJ. Hoagland veteran fruit
grower. Apple growers OF the Hutch
inson district are desperately trying
TO get help to pick the great fruit
crop now on the trees and ready to
market. But there is a shortage OF
help and unless men can be secured
within the coming week there will be
a heavy loss sustained by the apple
shippers. 1--WE could use three hun
bred men if we could get them, but
we are unable to get Them reported
Ed Yaggy, proprietor Of the 6OO-acre
apple orchard. 1t is estimated that
the orchards around Hutchinson will
produce 2,OO00 900 bushels of apples this
season

NO MORE DISTRESS
FROM STOMACH OR
INDIGESTION

If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or you feel bloated after eating, and
you believe it is the food which fills
you; if what little you eat lies like
lump Of lead on your stomach; If
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour, undigest-
ed food and acid, heartburn, brash
or a belching of gas, you need some
thing to stop food fermentation and
cure indigestion.
To make every bite of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your
stomach of poisons, excessive acid
and stomach gas, which sours your
entire meal-interferes with digestion
and causes so many sufferers Of
dyspepsia, sick headache, biliousness,
constipation, gripping, etc. Your case
is no different-you are a stomach
sufferer, thought you may call 1t by
some other name; your real and only
trouble is that which you eat does
not digest, but quickly ferments and
sours, producing almost any unheal-
thy condition.
A case of Pape's Diapepsin will
cost fifty cents at any pharmacy
here and will convince any stomach
sufferer FIVE minutes after taking a
single dose that fermentation and
sour stomach is causing the misery
of indigestion.
No matter II you call your trouble
catarrh of the stomach, nervousness
or gastritis, or by any other name
always remember that certain cure
is waiting at any drug store the mo-
ment you decide to begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out-of-order stomach within five min
utes, and digest promptly, without
any fuss or discomfort, all of any
kind Of food you eat

make this a land Of landlords and
tenants, or a land where it is possible
for every man to have his own home?
! leave that to your judgment.
In summing up:
This so-called single tax measure is
unjust; its adoption would work a
hardship on the renter, the small land
owner; 1t would destroy the love Of
home, eliminate patriotism, weaken
the defense of our government and
country, and create the worst evils of
anarchy. For these reasons l say that
this so-called single tax measure
should not be adopted in Oregon.

trampling under foot their own agree
ments, in confiscating the property Of
others, in disobeying the mandates Of
courts and in paralyzing the industries
Of the nation. If all men and women
in the nation were to accept and TO
follow these teachings 1t would make
society impossible. It would simply
mean nation of thieves, liars and
scoundrels,"
AS evidence of the I. W. w. stand in
San Diego, he quotes from letter by
Vincent st. John, general secretary Of
the /. W. W., dated Chicago, March 9,
1912, which says: This fight will be
continued until free speech is estab-
lishe din San Diego, If it takes 10000
members and 20 years to do So"
In conclusion Weinstock's report
declares that, while it was clearly cor
rect for the San Diego authorities to
prescribe a district where street speak
ing was not allowed, it was as clearly
unconstitutional and an invasion of
right to free speech in the whole city
and to deport those who claimed the
right. He continues:
I'm view of the strained conditions
at this time existing in San Diego
county and in view Of the utter lack
Of confidence on the part of the VIC
Tins of the so-called vigilance COM
mittee in their being able to obtain
justice and redress at the hands Of
District Attorney H. S. Utley, of San
Diego county, because Of his pro-
nounced hostility to them and their
causes Of complaint, your commission
er would suggest that you give due
consideration to the advisability Of
instructlng the attorney general Of the
state of California to consider such
evidence as may be- submitted to him
by the attorneys for the victims Of
these outrages, with n view to taking
an active part in or charge of such
criminal proceedings in San Diego
county"
Weinstocks long report concludes:
"Your commissioner calls the atten-
tion OF your excellency TO the new in
dustrial and economic condition that
has arisen in this country-a condi-
tion seemingly imported from the con-
tinent of Europe, and brought about
by the organization and growth Of
what is known as the Industrial
Workers Of the World.
because Of It's unholy and reckless
methods to attain its ends - 1t is
likely seriously to menace the indus
trial peace and welfare Of the coun-
try. The scenes enacted in Spokane,
Fresno San Diego and elsewhere -
are likely to be re-enacted on a larger
and larger scale, until a crisis will be
reached and civil war threatened - .
at would seem to your commission
er that the best legislative minds in
the commonwealth should be invited
to devise legislation, If such a thing is
possible, and that efforts should be
made to enlist congress likewise to
devise interstate Legislation along
similar lines"

There was a very interesting debate
pulled off over the single tax at Ore
gon City last Tuesday evening at the
highS school. City Superintendent
Tooze was master of ceremonies and
there we're three judges of the debate.
The debate was judged solely on argu-
ment, delivery and English, and the
negatives won by thirty points, the
score being 1903 for the affirmative
to 1888 for the negative on the ques-
tion, Resolved, that the so-called sin
gle tax proposed for Clackamas coun-
ty should be adopted in Oregon. The
affirmative was taken by Charles
Holmes, Alice Downer, Lyle Kellogg,
Charles Beattie and Joe Hedges, with
rebuttal by Charles Holmes. The neg
ative was taken by Carmen Schmidt,
Elsie Telford. Shelby Shaver, Marie
Sheahan, Louise Huntley, and Carmen
Schmidt in rebuttal.
The debating was unusually well
carried on, and the young people had
taken great pains to read up on the
subject. A five-dollar gold piece was
given to the seniors who won the de-
bate, and a half eagle In gold to the
sophomores, who lost the debate by
narrow margin. Following is a sam
pie of the debates, being the argument

rectly affect the common man, that is
the man Of small means; It is the
extra tax on land that will work a
hardship on him To illustrate how II
will bring about this result, suppose
a man cuts some wood and raises
some potatoes, sells them and takes
the money derived therefrom and puts
II In the bank. Single tax says his
money should be exempt from taxa

labor Again, suppose another man
cuts some wood and raises some po-
tatoes, sells them and takes the
money derived from their sale and
invests II in few lots for a home,
