Entry Blanks Mailed To-
 Possible Contests In the
 1920 Indianapolis Races
Expected that Long Strides Toward Light Car Perfection Will Be Made-Left Hand Drive to Be Permitted.
 Weight Limit Reduced to 1850 Pounds

unusual interest both in the United States and abroad.
 Since preliminary conditions for the race were announced some time ago, notifications have been made lowering the weight limit for eligible cars from 1700 to 1850 pounds, and making right hand drive optional instead of com pulsory. left hand steering now being permitted also.
 The weight reducation was put into effect in order to make the Indian apGIis racing rules conform with those far the Grand Prix de France, sched- uiea for Le Mans next fall while the left hand drive was admitted out of deference to American manufacturers who favored it for their cars.
 Prize money win be as in former years, with total of 5o.000 divided among the first 10 to finish, of which the lions share, or s20,000, goes to the winner.
 In addition there are a number of tire and accessory manufacturers who are expected to add substantial bon uses to the speedway prize money, pay ment being conditional upon the win ners using the manufacturers equip ment, so that the successful bidder for first honors may be reasonably cer- tain of raking in not less than. $25 ,000, or perhaps $30,000 in all.
 The indianapolis race has stood at the pinnacle of the speed sport since its inception in 1911, when Ray Har- roun demonstrated the superiority of his Arab wit and cunning by out generating field of A starters, and the event has progressed since then until today 1t is a fixture In the world 8 sport calendar with followers in every country on the face of the globe.
 Automotive progress has been blazed on the Indianapolis race course. The experiment. of today by virtues of it's success at Indianapolis. has become the engineering law of tomorrow. The civilized world owes a debt to the Indianapolis institution for the rapid advancement of automobile and air plane construction that 1t fostered. A development in which the 1920 race by virtue of the new set of condi tions that it imposes. is expected to open new era. looking to the ner- fection of the new and yet undiscoy cred light weight car of the future.

RESOLUTION WOULD
TAKE MONEY OF FLAX
This Would Equal Amount
That Governor Withycombe
Failed To Return.

| In order to get the state flax indus
! try out of the financial plight which
resulted from the poor management Of
Superintendent j. c. Cady, the 1917 leg
islature appropriated $10,550 to pay off
the indebatdness of the flax industry
on condition that the money should be
returned to the general fund Of the
state during the biennium Of 19l7-19la
Governor Withyeombe, who has con
troll of the flax industry, has not re.
turned the money to the general fund,
so today Senator Patterson introduced
e. concurrent resolution which directs
the secretary of state to credit the gen.
eral fund with $10,553 out Of the re-.
ceipts from the sales Of flax.
As the governor has failed to keep
the agreement made when the $l0,550
was appropriated to help out the flax
'muddle Senator Patterson evidently con
siders it necessary to secure legislative
action in order to make the $l0,550
available for use by the present legis-
lfturc in meeting the heavy demands
for appropriations.
After citing the chapter which car
ried the appropriation Of 1917 and thu
purposes for which the appropriation
was made, Senator Pattersons resolu
tion says:
Whereas, by the rovisions of said
chapter said amounts we're appropriated
from the moneys in the general rund Ia
the state treasury with the express un.
derstanding that the same should be re.
turned thereto during the years 1917.
1918 from the receipts from the sales
arising from the flax product, and
Whereas, there is an uhexpended
balance Of $12,03990 now remaining Of
the receipts from the sales Of flax fl
bre, ETC., and
Whereas, the provisions Of said
chapter 80, general laws Of Oregon,
1917, providing for the repayment to
the general fund Of the amounts al.
propriated therefrom under the provi.
sions Of said chapter, have not beel
complied with, now therefore,
"Be it resolved by the senate tba
house Of representatives concuriing.
that the secretary of state is hereby
authorized and directed to credit the
general fund with the sum Of $40, ,553.5S

SENATE FAV0RS RAISE
OF UHATILEA JUDGE
La Toilette And Patterson VIII
Fight Salary Increases To
Bitter End.

BY vote of 81 to 2, the senate pass
ed senate bill 142, by Ritner, which
increases the salary of the county
judges of Umatilla county from $1,000
to $500 year.
Senator Pierce made an unsueeess-
full attempt to have the bill mace a
special order for next Thursday, so all
salary bills could be considered at one
time. The motion was defeated, altho
Senators Eddy and Dimick said they
would favor such motion if it applied
only to salaries of state officials, but
they did not want to mix the county
salary bills with the state salary bills.
Senators Patterson and LaFollett
were the two senators who voted
against the salary increase.
81 can see the handwriting on the
wall, " declared Senator LaFollett.
"The logrolhng is now going on and
by the time the big salary bills come
up these bills viii be going so fast
that nobody can stop them.
Senator Patterson said he intended
to oppose all salary increases, Gh
apply to present terms of officials in
office, unless such bills were referred
to the people.
Senator Porter of Mnn county made
an effort yesterday afternoon to round
up all the salary increasing bills into
the hands of a special joint commit
tee which would be instructed to work
out some uniform plan for dealing
with the bills. But his effort failed,
as the resolution he introduced for the
purpose was lost by vote of IL to
ia.
In his resolution, Senator Porter de-
clared that this session of the legisla-
ture will be forever disgraced if ii
passes all the salary bills now being
presented. He says that taxpayers are
| protesting.
eff all salary bills already introduc-
ed and pending, together with great
many more that are contemplated, are
passed. says the resolution, "there
will be the greatest flood of increased
salaries ever known in the history OF
the state of Oregon, and the Both legis-
lative session will be forever disgrac-
ltu, dHu u Sfudt many ihSoo"Soo "iV a.
ready being received by members OF
this Legislative assembly in protest OF
the great flood now before us.
The resolution then provided for the
appointment Of committee of three
senators and three representatives
with the speaker of the house working
with the committee.
The vote on the resolution was as
follows: :.
| Yes-Eddy, Farrell, Jones, Laf'ollett
Nickelsen, Norblad, Patterson, Pierce
Porter, Smith of Coos, Wood, Presi
dent Vinton.
No--Baldwin, Banks, Bell, Dimick
Eberhard, Handley, Howell, Murley
Lachmund, Moser, Orton, Ritner, Smith
of Josephine, Strayer.
Senators Bell, Baldwin, Banks and
Eberhard spoke against the resolution,
while Senator Porter spoke for the res.
olution.
