DRASTIC Penalty
FOR RENT RAISING
Senator Sherman Proposes
Removal of Capital if D. C.
Profiteering Persists.

Senator Sherman of Illinois. who at
ly attacked landlords in the District
of Columbia, charging them with rent
proflteering. announced today that if
landlords increased rents generally
and to any great extent when the
Salisbury act against rent proflteer-
ing ceases to be, effective on the
proclamation of peace. he would in
troduce bill in the Senate to move
the capital of the nation away from
the city of Washington.
Il have been giving the matter con-
sideration." said Senator Sherman,
land after peace has been proclaimed
do not see how a law can be passed
which will limit a landlord in the
amount of rent he may charge. any
a law saying how much a man may
charge for wheat or any other COM
modify.
Is Told of Rent Increases.
TT has been reported to me that
there will be general and very heavy
increase in rents by the landlords.
If that happens. I shall Immediately
introduce a measure transferring the
capital of the nation to some other
place, possibly to st. Louis. l do not
think that many persons here realize
the extent of the feeling which has
been aroused among the members of
Congress by the eXorbitant charges
for rent and food and clothing they
have been ccrnI elled to pay in Wash
ington. A bill of the kind l have men,
toned will have strong support.
Prom a military point of view.
Washington is about the poorest place
that could be selected for capital of
the nation. 1t was burned once by an
enemy army, in the war of 1872. 1t is
not centrally located so far as the in
terests of the country are concerned.
II is not located in the center of a
big producing area. and food and other
materials have to be shipped here from
siderable distances.

deeply regret my inability to De
present at the opening OF the e@-
traordinary session of the con-
gress. 1t still seems to be my duty
to take part in the counsels OF the
peace conference and contribute
what l can to the solution OF the
innumerable questions to whose
settlement 1t has had to address
itself: for they are questions which
affect the peace of the whole world
and from them. therefore, the
United States cannot stand apart.
/ deemed 1t my duty to call the
Congress together at this time be-
cause it was not wise to postpone
longer the provisions which must
be made for the support OF the
government. Many of the appro-
priations which are absolutely nee
essary for the maintenance of the
government and the fulflllment OF
it's varied obligations for the fiscal
year 1919-1920 have not yet been
made: the end of the present fiscal
year is at hand; and action upon
these appropriations can no longer
be prudently delayed. 1t is neces-
sary. therefore, that 1 should i'm
mediately call your attention to
this critical need. 1t is hardly nee
essary for me to urge that 1t may
receive your prompt attention.
premature to Discuss Peace"
shall take the liberty of adj
dressing you on my return on the
subjects which have most engross-
ed our attention and the attention
of the world during these last anx-
ious months. since the armistice OF
last November was signed, the in
ternational settlements which must
form the subject matter of the
present treaties of peace and of our
national action in the immediate
future. 1t would be premature to
discuss them or to express judg-
ment about them before they are
brought to their complete formula
tion by ths agreements which are
now being sought At the table Of
the conference. shall hops fo.1ay

or press any Recommendation with
regard to domestic legislation
while absent from the United
States and out of daily touch with
intimate sources of Information
and counsel. 1 am conscious that
I. need, after So long an absence
from Washington, to seek the Ad-
vice of those who have remained
in constant contact with domestic
problems and who have known
them close at hand from day. to
day: and 1 trust that it will very
soon be possible for me to do SO.
But there are several questions
pressing for consideration to which

only in general terms. In speaking
of them I shall. dare say. be do
ing little more than speak your
own thoughts. 7 hope that shall
speak your own Judgment also.

Method Advanced
For Victory Loan

Beginning with the third Liberty
Loan, different method was adopt
ed in Oregon than that used in other
states for handling the work of the
Liberty Loan campaigns The plan
utilized and which will be employed
in the Victory Loan provides an or
derly method of listing, rating and
soliciting each individual. Oregon's
splendid record in the preceding lib
erty loans indicates the efficacy of
the system.
At the Joint meeting Of the county
chairmen of organizations of men
and women in charge of the work
thruout the state, 1t was unanimous
ly decided that all solicitation will be
done under this system and thru uni
fled direction. Work of both the
women's and mems organizations
will be co-ordinated in all promotion
work. In parades, community sings,
liberty loan rallies and similar ac-
tivities, the work is naturally joined

ginia and went back again to France,
this time with load of foodstuff al
most exclusively.
The last trip, Milton stated, was
vostly different from his first voy-
ages. Then they were on camou-
flaged boat that sailed in the dark
and took many more days in which
to make the trip. No lights could
be seen about the ship after night,
and the sailors were not even allow
ed to smoke. They were conveyed
by a cruiser and submarine destroy
ers going across, and while crossing
the English channel, their ship was
conveyed by airplanes and balloons.
q Milton served as machinist mate,
first class, during his service, and is
greatly pleased with the navy, which
he thinks Is much superior service
than the army. While he Is rejoiced
to get home again, and Is not par
anxious to renew his naval
life, he would not exchange his ex-
phrlence for all the soft snaps civil
ian life could offer.

Two Oregon Men
Eligible For Oxford

headquarters are at the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology In Cam
bridge, Mass. The appointments In

basis from those OF former years.
In the past the aspirants for schol-
arships have been subject to quail

been done away with, according tu
Mr.. Aydelotte, and this year the
men will make formal application TO
University authorities, who will en-
dorse the requests of those men
whom they consider best fitted for
the work.
The men will he chosen with 4
view to securing those best adapted
as to scholarship, character, interest
in out-of-door sports, and instincts
for leadership. Selections will be
made by committees in each state

Luton Ackerson, who was recently
discharged from the service, was the
last University man to receive the
scholarship. He attended the Eng
lish college during 1917 and left to

Nurses Will Visit
Tubercular Victims;

AT the last meeting Of the Ore
gon tuberculosis Association the dis
charged soldiers and men rejected on
account of tuberculosis from this
state, 450 in number, are to be Wis
tied by a trained public health nurse.
These nurses will travel thru the
state visiting these men and urging
them to do something for themselves,
either Nv going to one of the tuber-
culosis sanitariums at Fort Whipple,
Arizona, or Fort Baird, New Mexico,
or to enter one OF Oregon's institu-
tions either public or private.
If this plan is impossible home
treatment will be recommended, adj

The University OF Oregon has an
nounced special course in public
health nursing to be given at the
summer school this summer. This -
a move that is much appreciated by
the Tuberculosis association, mas
much as there is deplorable short
age of nurses with public health
training. In fact several positions
will await those who complete this
course as a number OF Oregon coun-
ties are asking for public health
nurses which thus far the assoeia-
lion has been unable to fill.

HOOD RIVER HAS BIG
PROMISE OF FRUIT

Hood River, Ore, April Plum
and peach trees on the lower levels
Of the valley are blooming and the
buds of apple trees are swelling fast.
In case the warm weather continues
Hood River orchards will be in
bloom around May 1. Kept dormant
by the cool weather of the first three
months of the year, strawberry
plants aiie beginning to grow. With
the earth water-soaked berry pros
poets are better than in the past
three years. 1t is expected the yield
of 1919 may be increased almost 80
per cent over the 100 cars handled
last year, when the Apple Growers
association returned an average OF
$3,33 per crate for the fruit. Price
outlooks this year are as, good.
Conditions in apple orchards are
good. Trees are in healthy state
and growers are busy this week ap-
plying oil sprays for pests. Lime
sulphur applications for fungus dis
eases will follow soon The 1919
apple crop is estimated at more than
l 100000 boxes, the districts record
tonnage.

Young Jackie Pleased With NAVY

Milton Beigle, who returned home
this week after receiving his dis.
charge from the naval service In
Norfolk, Va, is looking hale and
hearty after almost a years service
on the briny deep. Milton had an
interesting experience while serving
in the navy, with just enough danger
attached to the life to make exist
ence spicy. He sailed from Seattle
last July and went direct to Charles
ton, s. c., via the Panama Canal.
From there his boat was consigned to
Chile where they secured load Of
nitrate, which was returned to Nor
folk, after which they left for Brest,
France.
The ship on which Milton served
was utilized to carry war munitions
and food stuffs to France, and was
one OF large fleet with number Of
conveys to protect them from the in
lvading submarines. They touched
port in France at Brest, La Police
and La Rochelle, and we're in the lat
ter port when the armistice was
