 A sensation was created in this city Wednesday afternoon when Arthur F. Ramshaw, secretary of the Willi- mantle Loan and Trust company, was arrested by Chief Richmond charged with embezzlement of S1.500. The of- flcers of the Trust company state that as assistant treasurer Ramshaw has had charge of the cash in the com mercial department and of the com pany's accounts with the four cor responding banks in other cities in which the company carries deposits as Its reserve agents. He has recently withdrawn cash from time to time and concealed the shortage by man. ipulating the ledger accounts with theso correspondent banks and the reconciliation statements sent by these banks to the company.
 A change has been made lately in the method of handling the accounts SO that other employees of the bank were to attend at times to the &C., counts with the correspondent banks, and, as he was unable to make up the shortage and realized that his irregu- larities would inevitably be discovered soon through this change in account ing methods, Ramshaw confessed his defalcations and expressed his will ing to submit to such penalty as the law might impose. As the company is amply protected by the bond of a responsible surety company to an amount largely in excess of any pos- sible shortage, the company will sus- tain TO loss and it's financial strength Is in no way affected.
 MT. Ramshaw has been connected with the bank for two and half years and has been a hard worker, He was formerly connected with a bank in New Jersey but gave up work there on account Of III health. He is twen- ty three years of age and was mar ried a few months ago. He will ap- pear tefore the police court this morning.

OREGON LAND EMIT.
TLED CONSIDERATION

The pioneers of Oregon were fore
ed to undergo many hardships in
carving out homes in the wilderness
To help those pioneers, the Federal
Government granted to the Oregon
California Railroad company a large
grant of land to assist in building
that road and to give to Oregon more
settlers and more taxable property
The government received it's pay, all
| 1t ever expected, in the building OF
the road and the concessions receiv-
| ed. Had the land grant been dispos-
ed of according to the terms of the
grant, Oregon would be profiting to-
day by many more acres of taxable
lands and many more settlers. Ore
gon alone is the sufferer, yet when
these lands are disposed of according
to the bill recently passed she gets
but SO per cent of the proceeds.
Thousands of acres of arid lands
thirsting for water, yet 40 per cent
of the land grant fund goes to the
general reclamation fund instead OF
to these lands
Representative Sinnott is making
last fight for the 40 per cent and
has introduced bill amending the
original bill, asking that the proceeds
from sale of land and timber appor-
toned to the general reclamation
fund be expended on projects in the
Stote Of Oregon.
Is there any injustice In this re-
quest? Is this state asking any
thing unreasonable? Did the Fed
eral Government or any of the re-
clamation states expect to get any
thing from these lands under the ori-
ginal grant act? Oregon did expect
something from the original grant
so why should she not expect it now
1t seems that there is little room for
argument as to the real merits-o the
issue, but it is necessary to present
the facts to those who should know
If the members of Congress are
given the facts with regard to this
there is some hope that they will see
the justice of it and vote to give tc
our state that to WHICH she is en-.
titled. Personal letters to members
of Congress or to persons who may
have influence will prove an effective
means. Write such letter and by
so doing contribute your part in Sc
curing this fund for Oregon's arid
lands.

EMPLOYMENT LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The emergency employment law,
intended to permit counties to fur
nish emergency employment to those
in need Of work, was declared uncou-
stitutionRl by the supreme court IN
an opinion handed down last Satur-
day, sustaining the demurrer of the
commissioners of Ada county to ap-
plication Of James Wiley Epperson
for writ of mandate to compel them
to furnish him emergency employ
ment. The opinion was written by
Justice Morgan and concurred In by
Chief Justice Sullivan and Justice
Bulge.
The opinion holds that the act,
which provides for The deduction by
a county from the moneys due from
1t to the state, of one-half the amount
expended by the county for emer-
geney employment, is void because It.
is In conflict with section 7, article
Of the constitution, which provides |:
"All taxes FOR state purposes shall
be paid into the state treasury, and
no county, city, town or other muni-
cipal corporation shall be re-
leased from their or It's proportlonate
share OF taxes to be levied for state
purposes
Section l3, article ! OF the constitu-
tlon says: mo money shall be drawn
from the treasury, but In pursuance
of appropriations made by law" Ne
appropriation OF money was made by
the state TO provide for its proportion
of the expense OF giving emergency
employment, q further fault In tie
measure.
The provisions Of the act, being es.
sentially aud lnseparably connected
In substance, 80 as TO plainly depend
upon each other, the entire chapter
must fall. says the opinion.
A number OF counties have already
given emergency employment undel
the act, among them Canyon county
which has employed more than on.
hundred needy citizens. Ada county
declined TO furnish employment ol
the plea that 10 bad no funds.

RAILWAY EMPLOYEES
VOTING ON DEMANDS

Chicago, Jan. 10. Nearly 400. 900
employees in the tr importation and
yard service began voting today on
two demands to be made upon all
railroads In the United States. These
call for the eight-hour day and time
and one-half for overtime. II adopt
ed as proposed by joint committee
of representatives OF the four
brotherhoods, the demand will be
presented to the railroads in March.
Among railroad officials the de-
mands are said to be the most revo-
lutionary ever proposed by organized
workmen anywhere In the world.
If the full demands are granted, the
officials declare, II win cost the rail-
roads Of the United States from
$3.50, 900, 600 TO so 30, ,00O, 900 more
to operate. Division points would
have TO be changed at an enormous
cost. or extra men would have to b.
scattered throughout the railroad
systems to take the places Of thos'

to be impossible.
