JUDGE CALKINS RULES ON NUM-
CIPAL ISSUE.
NOW In SUPREME COURT
Argued at Salem Tuesday, and Dis
cussion Expected From That
Body Within a Week.

Judge Calkins, of the circuit court,
held Saturday that the municipal
bond issue of 100000 voted by the
city of Grants Pass last December for
the purpose of building municipality
owned railroad from here to the APP
plegate valley, was legal, he having
phoned the result OF his decision to
Mayor Smith. The text of the decis-
ion has not been received, but as all
phases of the questions bearing upon
the legality of the issue were argued
before him by the attorneys, II is
known that he has passed upon every
possible legal aspect in deciding the
case.
The suit was brought by friendly
interests at the instance of the New
York attorneys for the bond buyers,
not for the purpose Of defeating the
issue, but simply to establish their
legality beyond the peradventure of
doubt and so head off the possibil-
ity of a suit and an adverse decision
after the bonds had been disposed Of.
Mr.. Masslick, the New York attorney
who came here and advised the
bringing of the action, said that he
did not seriously question the right
of the city to issue the bonds for the
purpose, but that bond buyers made
it rule to demand that the new
questions involved be passed upon
by the supreme court of the state be-
fore purchase be closed.
The action will now be taken di-
rectly to the supreme court and a
decision should be forthcoming from
that tribunal within couple of
weeks, the details having been pre-
pared by the attorneys pending the
decision from the circuit court.
The contentious we're argued be-
fore Judge Calkins week ago, and
the Judge has had the matter under
advisement since that time, studying
all the points involved, and 1t is
known that he has carefully consld-
cred every angle so that there is but
the remotest chance that the supreme
court could reverse him.
Mayor Smith and City Attorney
Colvig represented the city In the
present case, and the opposing argu-
ment was made by Attorney Hough.

The supreme court, which was to
have adjourned Saturday for sum-
mer vacation, has remained in ses-
sion today to hear argument in the
case brought by friendly interests to
establish the validity of the munich
pal bond issue. Judge Calkins rem
dered his decision in the case Satur-
day, upholding the right OF the city
to vote the bonds for the purpose
Of building a railroad from here to
the Applegate river, and that there
need be no further delay in getting
final action by the supreme court,
that body courteously agreed to re-
main in Salem and take II up to-
day.
The attorneys left this city for sa-
lem Sunday night, but were delayed
enroute by the burning out OF the
bridge near Roseburg. The mayor
at once communicated with the clerk
Of the court, explaining the sltua-
ton. and the court will await the ar
rival Of the attorneys before ad-
journing. Judge Colvlg left Sunday
evening to represent the city.

that President Wilson and Secretary
of State Bryan are making efforts to
bring about a compromise in the pro-
posed California legislation with re-
spect to alien land ownership bill and
that Governor Hiram w. Johnson is
opposing the bill has softened Jap
anese ire and public opinion now has
become more optimistic.
The alleged unWillngness of the
American missionaries to assist in re-

with the missionaries, the latter dis

London, April 2O.-The suffragettes
had plenty of evidence today that the

At Brighton, the suffragettes were

The Women's Social and Political
union attempted to carry on it's
propaganda in Hyde park. Londoners
had anticipated that such attempts
would be made and 10000 persons as

No sooner had suffragette
mounted the box and unfurled the
militant flag than the police inter-
fered. There We're a few cries of
Free Speech!" "Are we in Russia ?'
but these cries were drowned by hos

GRADUALLY
IS RECOVERING
STRENGTH
POPE IMPROVES STEADILY AND
HAS INDICATED HIS DESIRE
TO RESUME WORK.

Rome, April 20,--So much improve
mcnt was found in the condition of
the pope by Drs. Marchiafava and
Amici on their visit to the sick-room
this evening, that they did not con-
slider it necessary to issue a bulletin.
The morning bulletin was as follows:
''For four days his holiness has had
no fever. AS a result OF the amelio=
ration OF the bronchial affection, the
pope gradually is recovering his
strength"
Monsignor Brcssen, the pope's Sec
retary, and Father Parolin, his
nephew, celebrated mass today in the
chapel adjoining the papal bedroom in
the presence of Angelo Sarto and the
popes sisters and niece.
The pontiff is desirous that the
members of his family shall return to
their homes and has requested them to
reaSsurc his friends outside of Rome
that he hopes to resume the regular
course Of his life and receive the faith
ful who come to Rome to ask for his
blessing.
The physicians have some fear that
this anxiety on the part of the pope
for work may have an un(aVorable cf
feet.
The pope rose from his bed today
and remained for an hour or more in
an arm chair This seemed rather to
cheer the pontiff.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary OF state, today received Car
dinal Ferrata and gave him last in
structions in the name of the pope
regarding the Eucharistic eremonies.

Minority Report on Measure Will In
sist That the Payne AIdrich Tariff
Is Perfectly All Right and Under 1t
the People of the Country Have
Been Most Prosperous.

Washington, April 2O.--That ad va
loren duties such as are proposed in
the democratic tariff bill :.re "a de-
lusion and snare" that the radical
tariff revision submitted by the DEM
ccrats is ineXcusable and uncalled for
and that an accounting will come for
it's enactment into law, are conten-
tions of the republican members of
the ways and mears committee in a
minority report to be presented to the
house tomorrow.
There is no excuse for the radical
change in our rev enue system pro-
posed by this democratic bill" says
the report. "The people have not ask ed
it, The party proposing it is in pow
er, not by the grace of a majority Of
the American people, but by divi-
sion in the ranks of the majority on
other questions than that of protec-
ton. The administration has the
power to enact this legislation. Ac
counting from the abuse of that pow
er will come later"
The report contends that the bill,
has caused intense and widespread
alarm in business circles'
Protection Eliminated.
Asserting that the democratic bin
seems to meet with universal ap-
proval on the other side of the At
lantic,' the report declared that the
protective feature has been entirely
eliminted in the framing of the bill
1T is easily apparent" the report
ADDS, that many of the duties have
Jlln Mt n,
manufacturers and imported wholly
from abroad, as tax on manufac-
turers;' that many duties have been
lowered so that they are less than
the difference in the cost of lab or
at home and abroad; that many arti-
c'es row paying very low rates of
duty have been tut on the free list
while the comparative cost of produc-
ton here and abroad is such that it
Will be impossible for business to con-
tlnue without bringing down our
scale of wages to the level of the rates
pad abroad. In many cases articles
are put on the free list, while a pros
tective duty is laid upon the material
used in their manufacture"
The elimination from the demo-
cratic bill of the maximum and mimi
mum features of the present law is
deplored by the republicans, who
claim that through this provision
great tariff concessions and regula-
tions were procured and much added
to the export trade of the country.
Defending the existing Payne-Al-
drich tariff, the minority asserts that
in the last four years "the people of
the country have been more pros
porous than ever before in our his
tory"

Expression of Unrest.

Tho attacks upon the court the
justice added, "arc merely an express
sion of the unrest that seems to Won
der vaguely whether law and order
pay"
A very important truth to be ex-
tracted from the popular discon-
tent, according to Justice Holmes IS
that judges, particularly in state
courts, have read their conscious or
unconscious sympathes prematnrely
into the law.
TT cannot be helped--it Is as it
should hc-~that the law is behind the
timcs,' declared Justice Holmes. "As
law embodies beliefs that have tri-
umphcd in the battle of ideas and then
have translated themselves into
action, while there still is doubt, while
opposite convictions still keep a battle
front against each other, the time for
law has not yet come; the motion
destined to prevail is not yet entitled
to the field"
In connection with the discussion
with the premature law, he expressed
the belief that 20 years ago when "a
vague terror went over the earth and
the word socialism began to be heard"
doctrines that had no proper place in
the constitution or in the common
law.
Judges are apt to be naive, simple
minded men, and they need some-
thing of Mephistopheles.' observed
the justice.
Justice Holmes concluded by saying
that as he grew old, he grew calm,
and predicted that competition from
new races would cut deeper into the
future than worlIingmen's disputes and
would test whether I'VE can hang to-
gether and fight"
II do not pin my dreams for the
future to my country or even to my
race" he said. II think 1t probable
that civilization somehow will last as
long as | care to look ahead. / think
it not improbable that man, like the
grub that prepares a chamber for the
winged thing it never has seen but is
to be, may have cosmic destines that
he does not understand. And so be-
yond the vision of battling races and
an impoverished earth, I catch a
dreaming glimpse of peace.'
