SENATOR DIMICK OFFERS REso-
LUTON IN SENATE AND HAS
PREPARED LIST OF NAMES
INCLUDES 81 UNDESIRABLES
Strikes at Those Who Cancelled Cit
izenship Papers Rather Than Go
TO tho Front

State Capitol, Salem. Jan. 16.-
Deportation OF all alien slackers who
cancelled their citizenship papers
rather than be inducted into the
army under the draft law is to be
demanded in Joint resolution being
prepared by Senator Walter B. Dim
lick. OF Clackamas county, and which
he will introduce In the senate early
next week.
Senator Dimick has prepared a
complete list OF those men OF draft
age who renounced their intention
of becoming American citizens as a
means OF avoiding the draft, and
the resolution which he is preparing
will name each individual who dis
played these un-American tendencies.
The resolution will ask that the
national congress enact immediate
Legislation for the deportation OF
slackers, and that they be forever
prohibited from returning to the
United States.
According to federal statistics,
gathered by Senator Dimick, there
are "a such slackers in the state OF
Oregon. The list shows there were
SO Swedes, 81 Norwegians, II Swiss,
10 Spaniards. Danes, Dutch, 2
Bulgarian and 1 Russian.
Neither Oregon nor the United
States has place for such disloyal
persons, and the sooner we rid the
country Of this class of slackers the
better will IT be during the critical
period OF reconstruction." said SEN
ator Dimick today.

London, Jan. 1.--(Correspondence

journals who recently visited the for

letter to President Wilson during his
stay in England in which they pro-
posed punishment for the German
leaders and their agents for piracy,
murder and pillage.
After stating that they had vis-
tied the battlefields, ruined cities
and ohliterated villages of Belgium
and France, they added in their let

2OO,0OO.ODO RABBITS
KILLED EVERY YEAR

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 16.-If all the
rabbits killed by hunters were con-
sumed they would furnish between
100000 and 100000 tons of food
yearly, according to estimates made
by the biological survey OF the de-
partment of agriculture, Their hides
would have value of 10000, goo.
These figures are based on estimates
that the number killed yearly is
200, ,0OO, 900.
The biological survey has been
called upon frequently to help vest
ern farmers in coping with the rab-
bit pest. In view of the probable
economic value Of rabbit meat and
fur, their energies, however, may be
directed to conserving rabbits as a
valuable resource.

AIM Of SOLONs TO RETRENCH
o. A. @. and U. of o. to Receive
/. Little, Above Millage Tax
Allowance

Salem, Ore, Jan. 16.-The joint
ways and means committees Of the
two legislative branches, at their
first meeting to go through the
state budget, made tentative cuts ag-
gregating s761,3S2 and gave indica-
tions that enough further reductions
were in sight to cut the total amount
more than one million dollars and
bring the total within the six per
cent limitation. The first big re-
duction was the s6S0,000 estimate
OF state aid for the Industrial Ac-
cident commission, which will be un-
necessary according to the commis-
sion's own recommendation and
that of Governor Withycombe.
The estimate of s29S, ,2O5.I2 for
the national guard was passed by at
the first meeting but it is expected
will later be reduced to $155.0O0
and cuts Of some hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars will be made, it is
predicted, from the estimates for the
university Of Oregon and the Oregon
Agricultural college. Some legisla-
tors claim it is apparent that little
will be done for these institutions
and the Oregon normal school, above
the millage tax allowance.
Severe criticism of the normal
school policy marked the joint meet
ing. Some members declared the
policy is not up to the standard, and
1t was made known, that a bill will
be introduced in the lower house all.

sity and agricultural college to teach

institutions may bedepended upon

the state.
Some committee members favored
eliminating publication of the Blue
Book by Secretary of State Olcott,
but others upheld it and there is
likelihood that it will be retained.
The governors plan to reduce ap-
preparation for bounties on wild an
imals, from the $4,000 estimate to
half that amount and to make 1t
correspond to federal appropria-
ton, changing the method of deal
ing with predatory animals and elm
mating the bounty system, did not
meet with full approval. General
sentiment seemed to be that the
amount should be reduced to s37,-
500 with the bounty system retained.
1t seems likely that all delegations
waiting upon the committees will be
required to name their spokesmen SO
that as much conversation as pos
sible can be eliminated at confer
ences,

tions that civilization has so plain
ly built up through centuries have
been wantonly violated for four long
years. To fail to enforce these
laws now would be tacitly to concede
the power of repeal by the criminals
themselves. These laws must be
reestablished. To our minds, the
enforcement of complete restitution
and reparation by the people OF Ger
many and the punishment of the
leaders and their guilty agents for
the crime committed in violation of
existing laws against piracy, mur-
der and pillage will do more than
anything else could to insure that
future laws made by agreement OF
the nations will be observed.
