What the Pig Clubs
Are Attempting To Do

The United States National Bank of
Salem has set aside a fund of 81 900
to loan to worthy boys and girls of
Marion and Polk counties who live in
and tributary to Salem, with which to
buy pigs for the Pig Club work. This
step was recently made through the
efforts of w. w. Eyre, vice president
of the bank, who is great lover of
boys and girls and who has been en4
couraging the Pig Club work for some
time.
The bank proposes to take the per
sOnal note of members for one year at
a low rate of interest, for sums not to
exceed $40. The money is to be in
vested in a pure bred pig and the note
paid from the proceeds. In cases
where a large sum is required the
bank will very probably arrange to in
crease the amount as Mr.. Eyre be-
lieves that the very best obtainable
pigs are the ones for the boys.

The objects of the Pig Club work
are to teach the young people the
necessity, Of live stock on the farms
and the best methods Of managing and
caring for the animals. They arc
taught that il is possible TO grow theii
pigs very largely on cheap feeds and
that it is more profitable to have well
bred pigs, Crop growing of different
Kinds such as corn, clover, rape, peas
etc, is part Of the work so that each
boy may raise the necessary feed in
stead Of buying.

a poison and it will kill man before
he gets drunk on it. He stated there
would be no need to fear bootlegging
in that regard. He was asked if the
poison could not be distilled out of
the denaturcd alcohol and so make il
drinkable. He replied that it would bo
extremely hard to do and could be done
only by an expert. This would neces-

caused him to forget the dog for time

1t is possible the dog started back

from here to Gold Hill is about 300

BONE DRY HEARING
Continued from page one.)
IN. Anderson Presides


DR.. Anderson, who introduced the
bone dry" bill and chairman of the
house committee was chairman of the
meeting and invited a free and open
discussion The house committee was
composed of Brown, Elmore, Lafferty
and Matthew; the senate committee of
Shanks, Eddy, Garland, Handley and
Strayer. They occupied the speaker 3
platform.
Dr. Williams, of Portland, appeared
to represent the State Medical society
and also the City and County society
of Portland. He voiced several obiec
tions to items in the bill Among these
were the signing of an affidavit by
the person for whom the alcohol is pur-
chased-he stated the patient might be
so sick as to be unable to sign an affi-
davit, or it might be little child
which would put the druggist in bad;
also the writing in the English Ian
guage on the label the ailment of the
patient for which the alcohol was ia
relieve-this he said was contrary to
public ethics of the medical profession
and against public policy.
He declared the way the bill read
the druggist was allowed to sell alcohol
but there was no way to get it. He said
it was useless to write a prescription
and then put it in the pocket
DR.. Calvin White of Portland de-
clared the filing of affidavits would in
convenience physicians who lived at
distances from the county seat. He said
there was no provision for the securing
of alcohol for the laboratories of in
stitutions of learning. He said the ply
sician needs brandy and whiskey fol
certain diseases but the law would leave
no way to get it.
Dir. Anderson stated then that the
eommitte had received communication
from the Clatsop county medical asso
citation stating that they did not nee6
any liquor in their practice at all
Dr. Smith of Portland asked that
in the bill reputable hospital" be
defined He also asked that the phrase
ologv of the bill regarding the writing
of the ailment of the patient ON the
prescription be changed.
Denatured Alcohol
DR.. Hall of Portland said he repre-
sented no one but himself, but spoke
in favor of allowing the manufacture
of denatured alcohol for mechanica
purposes. He cited how there was oppor
tunity for the manufacture of denatur
ed alcohol in regon and how it would
be foolish for the state to prohibit the

Someone has said that "speeeh is

rise up TO make the fellows that said
them regret their outspokenness. There
were several things of this kind. When
a youngster starts to edit a newspaper,
he at first hits the other fellow a red
hot jolt or two without taking care Of
his guard and in attacking one thing,
lays himself open for blow in the solar
plexus, that is a settler. 1t is much
the same in arguing all kinds of meas
ures in the legislature. The shot one
gives another is likely TO come back

HOUSE CAkNONADES
REVENUE MEASURE
Political Artillery Fights for Prepared
ness Ammunition.

The political heavy artillery came into
action yesterday when the administration
revenue bill became the business before
the House. For the proponents of the
measure, Chairman Kitchin, OF the Ways
and Means Committee, discharged the
hrst salvo in defense of the position Of the
Democracy.
He told the House that every dollar of
the added revenue which the bill is ex-
pected to garner for the Treasury was
needed to pay for the marvellous and
tremendous increases in the army. the
navy and the fortihcations acts, which
the friends OF those increases euphonious-
ly call preparedness.
Mr.. Kitchtn took up the features Of
the revenue bill, explaining which brought
Representative Longworth to his feet
with the charge that this new scheme
| OF the Democrats was the latest and
! strongest link in the chain that the Demo
cratic party have been forging to shackle
American business at home and abroad.
The tax you propose Is a direct tax on
success, not necessarily great or distin-
| guished success, but just plain ordinary,
modest success, the success that dis
tinguished efficiency from shiftlessness
and thrift from wastefulness."
Representative Fordney, of Michi-
gan, senior minority member of the
Ways and Means Committee, turned
the Republican Big Berthas" loose
on the majority in a speech which
followed Chairman Kitchins opening
discharge. He took the strictly par
tisan position that the revenue should
be raised through impost duties
framed to equalize in the markets
American goods with those of foreign
production or manufacture.
For the space of half an hour Rep
resentative Fordney digressed with
technical review of the American
imports and exports now and four
years ago. Then he resumed his at
tack on the majority party, this time
centering his fire on the Treasury
Department.
Contrary to expectation no time
limit on the revenue bill debate was
set by the House. Chairman kitchin
expressed the opinion that general de-
bate could be ended by o'clock this
afternoon, which would be followed
by debate under the fve-minute rule.
and the bill might be brought to a
vote late today or in the course of
tomorrow. His optimism is not shared
by his opponents, who predict that
the bill may linger before the House
for the remainder of the week.
