State Capitol, Salem--Friends Of the
Oregon National guard made an effort
In the house to save the $4,000 con-
tinuing appropriation provided for that
organization before the Schuebel bill.
providing for a general repeal Of all
continuing appropriations, was passed
and sent over to the senate.
Although 1t was plain from the start
that the National guard fund, as q
continuing appropriation, would be
wiped out II the Schuebel bill carried,
members Of the guard made no protest
against the measure until just before
It was placed on its final reading.
Then Representative Allen, Of Marion
county, who Is a member Of the guard,
appealed to the house to save the item
out Of the bill. His pleas fell on deaf
ears.
He pointed out that the National
guard fund had been placed on con-
tinuing basis for the purpose of taking
the guard out Of politics and urged
that by passing the measure in its
present form IL would be necessary for
the officers of the guard to come be-
fore the legislature every two years
and ask for money to carry on their
work.

Cabinet Meets to Discuss
Biz Government Deficit

Washington, d. c. - The admins
tration has taken up in earnest the
question of how the governments ex-
penses shall be brought within its In
come during the coming fiscal year.
A cabinet conference debated the
situation at lenght, and President Will
son went over the problems with Sec
retary McAdoo, Postmaster General
Burleson, Representative Underwood,
Democratic leader in the house, and
Representative Fitzgerald, chairman
Of the appropriations committee.
Estimates of expenditures for the
year exceed the most extravagant
hopes for revenues, and administra-
tion leaders are agreed that something
must be done to prevent the deficit
they are facing.
While no final conclusions were
reached by the members Of the cabi-
net, it is understood that most of them
could see no way of avoiding the me-
cessity of extending the time limit on
the war tax law unless congress would
recduce all appropriation bills as much
as possible without impairing the efh-
cheney of the government; abandon the
SS4, 600, 600 river and harbor appropri-
alton bill; adopt Postmaster General
Burleson's plan for reducing the cost
of rural free delivery service by put
ting carriers on contract basis.
It was also said to be likely that
congress might be asked to cut the
current army and navy bills. both Of
which exceed the estimates of the adj
ministration, though it is conceded
that not much can be done in this d.
rection.
Another plan which might be
brought forward would be to lower
the income tax exemption below
$4,000. This, however, probably will
not be seriously considered except as
last resort.
So far only one appropriation bill
the urgent deficiency-has been signed
by the President, while the District Of
Columbia bill is now in conference.
Therefore the great supply bills are
still open to amendment.

the reports of the weapon that the
tragedy was not discovered until
several hours later, when the son

Coroner Feinbery said that Auerbach
evidently had been planning the trag-

son informed the coroner that his
father had taken the rifle home nine
days ago. The coroner expressed the
belief that the mans despon-

in value of mortgages and securities
which he held.
The boy found under his door a note

Ing for workmen's compensation sim.
liar 70 tho Michigan law was intro
dueed In the senate by Bingham. II
10 different In many phases from the
present compensation law, and its au-
thor says Il viii solve the pcrplexing
question Of aiding injured workmen In
this state.
An important feature Of the new act
10 that employees viii make no contri-
buttons. Those sustaining minor in
juries will receive no benefits until the
18th day after the injuries were sus-
tainod. Persons incapacitated from
work for four weeks or longer viii re-
ceive compensation from the time Of
the'aecident.
The law provides for the appoint
mont by the governor Of one industrial
accident commissioner, who shall re-
ccive $4,000 year. In case OF dis
pute as 70 the amount Of compensation
he and two other persons. selected by
those interested. shall fix the amount.
Employers may provide compensation
through casualty companies, mutual
insurance, pay It themselves or come
under q provision for state compenss-
tion.
Under the present law the payment
Of compensation Is according TO the
sire Of the families of the injured per-
sons, but the new act makes the earn
ing capacity the basis Of compensa-
tion. Senator Bingham said one OF
the important features Of his bill is
that II would induce employers to pro-
vide all safety appliances. that acci-
dents should be reduced to minimum.
"Under practically this same law
operating In Michigan 80 to 95 per
cent Of the employers have come under
its provisions, said Senator Bingham,
"and out of 500, 900 employees less than
l5 have rejected it since the law went
