For the reason that Oregon counties
are ready to match state money for
road improvement, sentiment favoring
the proposition is crystalized. The
proposal Of submitting the issue to
referendum would cost the state the
useless expenditure of $4,000 to
hold an election. Senator Ritner and
others are right in their contention
that the legislature should declare that
an emergency exists, and pass bill
authorizing the issuance of the road,
bonds, thereby saving the state the
cost of an election.

Editorial writer's see in the signs of
a great labor movement a disposition
to equalize in measure. an inter-
national wage scale. Should this re-
suit. they see coordination in some
branches of manufacture, especially in
that of iron and steel. with America
and Britain leading in production. The
elimination Of Germany almost totally
from the iron trade, they contend,
leaves this country and Great Britain
to supply the demand, and with wage
scales much the same as now
being agitated and contended for in
both countries, would practically null
ify commercial warfare.

Washington, Jan. 16.-haior Roy
d: Keehn, OF the Judge advocate

life is counsel for William Randolph
Hearts newspaper interests in Chi
cago, appeared yesterday at his own
request before the Senate commit
tee investigating German propagan-
da, and denied that any of the money
furnished by party of brewers
for the purpose of the Washington
Times by Arthur Brisbane had been
used by Mr.. Hearst for the purchase
of the Chicago Herald. He said the
latter was a separate transaction be-
tween the Herald and Mr: Hearst.
Major Keehn told of a conversa-
ton some time ago with CASTOR B.
Means, who said he knew the
whereabouts of important papers
involving the activities of former
Ambassador Bernstorff and that If
he could get these papers 1t would
be "the greatest beat of the war;"
He said he communicated Means
suggestion to Air. Hearst, who told
him that Ii Means had access TO
such papers 1t was his duty to turn
them over to the proper govern
ment authorities and not try TO ex-
plot them in newspaper,
Major Keehn also read telegram
from Walter Howey, managing ed
itor of Hearts Chicago Herald Eix-
amlner, outlining and asking him to
insert in the record of the hearings
summary of what that newspaper
had done in support of the war.

Instructor at Harvard University

of the United States In the war, have
been characterized Us German pro-
paganda. was another witness to-
day. He declared that since the
United States entered the war, he
had not been pro-German. Before
that time, he said, he had been >ac-
tive in an endeavor to keep America
out of the conflict. believing that II
was Great Britain and not Germany
which was responsible for the ruth

On cross-examination by Major
Humes, Won Mach admitted writing

Cor nand Rice Importation
Again Is to Be Permitted

Washington, Jan. 10.-All restric-
tions on the importation of corn and
rice were removed yesterday by the
Wan Trade Board.
At the same time the board an
nounced that it would consider ia
vorably applications for the cXpor;
of rice and for licenses for the ship
ment of jute and jute products, ex-
cept yarns and nitrate bags, to all
destinations.
Argentina is the chief country af-
fected by the removal of the embargo
on importations of corn. Large stores
of corn are held in that country for
export, it was said, and this corn
may now be sent to the United
States.
