in railway policies, and there might
be no constant policy continuing
through the changes of administra-
tons. These questions were raised
by Senator CumEIins of Iowa, and
Smith of South Carolina.
Another objection was that If the
railroads are guaranteed by law an
adequate return, they should not also
have power to determine rates. even
though these rates were subject TO
veto by the secretary Of transpor-
tation and notification by the inter
state commerce commission.
Mr.. Cuyler argued that the ad-
vantage of having one man as the
principal government supervising
agency is that he would act more
quickly than a commission in OPP
proving or disappearing rates pro-
posed by railroads and would e5,-
pedite general matters of railroad
administration.

HOT CONTROVERSY
ON AMERICANS
NOW IN RUSSIA
Half Dozen Senators Have
Long Controversy Over
Operation of u. S.
Troops.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-Opera-
ton of American troops in Russia
was defended and criticized Thurs
day in the senate, half a dozen sena-
tors participating n a debate which
continued several hours.
Sen. Hitchcock, chairman of the
foreign relations committee. OPP
posed the discussion BY delivering a
prepared speech in reply to recent
addresses of Sens. Johnson of Cali
fornia and Lafollette of wisconsin,
republicans, who had sharply criti-
cised retention of American soldiers
on Russian soil. Sen. Hitchcock
and Sens. Swanson of Virginia and
King of Utah, democrats, defended
the al administrations course.
Chairman Hitchcock ju S ii fl e
sending troops into Russia, de-
nounced the bolshevik government
as pro- German and declared that
the expeditions in both northern
Russia and Siberia were purely de-
fensive and entirely friendly 10 the
loyal Russian people.
Reports of fighting by American
forces in Russia have been grossly
exaggerated" Sen. Hitchcock de-
clared. as only 126 Americans have
been killed since the landing at
Archangel. From Vladivostok to the
Ural mountains, he said, there has
been no fghting for months and the
inter-aliied forces have been re-
ceived by the Russian people with
open arms"
Opposes Intervention.
Sen. BOrah, in reply, opposed any
intervention with Russian internal
affairs. Without criticising the
sending of troops TO Russia. Sen
Borah said retention of American
forces there now is justified only IN
holding military stores from the
Germans or in carrying out the gem
eral purposes of the war against
Germany.
Sen. BOrah said Russia should be
permitted TO work out her own gov
ernmental affairs. and he Joined
with sen. johnson in demanding an
Official statement from the admins
I tration regarding its plans and pur-
/ poses in Russia.
Sen. Swanson, in defending the
administrations course, cited Pres'J
/ Wilson's statement in his IA peace
\ principles and declarations in the
armistice terms imposed on Ger
many as assurances that America is
| friendly 10 the Russia people. and
/ that Russian territorial and political
I integrity and independence are as
sured.
Sen. France Attacks.
The administration policy was At
+ tackled by Sen. France as ''suspi-
+ ciOusly secretive." The Maryland
senator contended that Russia was
a neutral when her soil was in
vaded" by the allied and American
troops ana declared that the 'inva-
sion." like the German invasion OF
Belgium. was most unexplainable
and inexcusable."
Sen. Nelson. of Minnesota. assert
ed that bolshevism is losing ground
gradually. while Sen. King expressed
resret that greater vigor had not
been exercised by America and the
allies for the purpose OF "walling in
the bOlshevik-thOse murderous mad
men"
Before the senate adjourned Sen.
Thomas. democrat, OF Colorado. an
nOunced thai he would discuss the

Owing TO the war conditions which
have prevailed for the past two sea-
sons Il has been difficult TO secure
high class road shows. As a matter
OF fact many managers OF travelling
companies have been reluctant TO ven

LONG EXTENSION
FOR INDUSTRIALS
Employers and Employees Notified
That no Workmen's Compensa-
tion Payments Due for Aplil
May or June.

The announcement by the indus
trial accident commission that em-
ployers and employees operating under
the workmen's compensation law will
be exempt from payment into the
fund for the months OF April. May
and June comes at most opportune
time. II relieves oregon industry
from a burden during the readjust-
ment period The exemption is pos
sible because of a surplus that accu-
mulated in the fund during the past
year. The exemption of this three
months period will mean that no
payments will have been made into
the fund by employers and employees
for seven OF twelve months OF the
fiscal year ending June 80. The eff
feet of these exempted months IL ~
reduce the rate OF payment made by
employers upon their payrolls to
fve-twelfths of the base rate. The
exemption just declared by the COM
mission will relieve employers from
the payment OF approximately S60c,
10000 into the fund for the months
Of April. May and June. the COM
mission having sufficient funds on
hand TO- pay all claims during the
period.
The recent Legislature, at the sug-
gestion OF the commission. amended
the compensation law. changing tho
method OF exemption 10 az to pro-
vide an annual credit refund to em-
ployers instead OF the monthly ex-
emption system Under the old Law
the employer had to have continuous
payrolls to be entitled TO the exempt
ions as they were declared, but under
the new law the employer will h,

CIVIC BEAUTY GREAT ASSET
Always, in Building Community, That Fact, Commercially Sound, Must
 Be Kept in Mind.

The farmer regards it as most thor oughly businesslike to improve his land and buildings, discovering en- hanced values and increased produc- ton in the possession of adjuncts that make for simplified operation. A com modious, well-painted house with some sense of Horticulture and landSeaping about it is instantly of more value than tumbledown house with no beauty about it, although both houses may be situated on land that is equally pro- ductive.
 And so with communities. We must not imagine that civic beauty is thing apart from everyday life. If that were true we would be importing a hodgepodge of ebelisks and gothic facades and pergolas and expect our people to believe them our own. But architecture symboliZes the civiliza- ton that devises it, not only visualiz- ing the beauty of strength but turn ing it to the purposes symbolized. Thus we get back to the slogan, "A plan that isn't sound commercially isn't worth considering"
 The plan, sound commercially, is the result of an inquiry into what is need ed and the desire to fulfill that need in q beautiful and utilitarian way.

MANY REASONS FOR GARDEN
Duty of Every Town Dweller to Help Out Farmer in His Task of Feed
 ing the World

Food production to the uttermost is just as grim necessity this year as 1t was last. Then we needed food te feed our soldiers. Now we need food to supply q world most of which has not had all it wanted to eat for three years. Now, as then, the farmer can not carry the burden alone. He must have every help that the city, subur- ban and village dweller can give. Make garden for the worlds sake.
 Vegetables and fruits raised in a home garden have flavor that never is found in products carted around the country. or displayed in hot show win dows. Make a garden for your palate's sake.
 Gardening is the finest exercise with in reach of moderate purse and about the only one which will pay you fair wages for keeping yourself we'll. Make garden for your health's sake.
 Gardening is one of the most inter- esting and educational of activities, es- peeially if you make room for flowers as well as vegetables. It brings back some of the old world lore which Il too citified life loses. Make a garden for your minds sake.
 The day is coming when garden cit ies will be the rule. but you do not need to wait for slow social develop ments. There are very few districts in which one cannot make a start at a garden city now. Try it.

SIDNEY E. MANNING, Corporal, Go. G, 167th Infantry.

Corporal Manning received the Dis tinguished Service Cross for conspicu- ous gallantry near Breuvannes, France, July 2S, 1918. Corporal Manning was in charge of an automatic rife squad during an assault by his battalion on the strongly fortified heights overlook ing the Ourcq river for the purpose of exploiting the successful passage of the stream. During the advance on the hill his platoon commander was killed and just as the crest was reached the platoon sergeant was wounded. Corporal Manning then as- sumed command of the platoon, which was near the center of the assaulting line and was meeting with desperate resistance. Though he himself was severely wounded and was the only survivor of his squad. this soldier led forward the 35 effectives remaining in the platoon against an enemy strong point which was wired, intrenched and defended by machine guns and domi- hated the entire Ourcg valley. He was repeatedly wounded, but he succeeded in getting .foothold at this strong point with but seven men remaining with him. While the latter consolidat- ed their position under his direction, with the platoon on the flank, he held off a considerable number of the enemy 50 yards away by fire from his auto- matie rifle. He remained in this Iosi- tion until the entire line had been con- solidated, when he crawled back to shelter having received nine wounds. Mrs. Lizzie Manning. his mother, lives in Flomatin, Ala.

APT DESCRIPTION OF PASTOR
Child's Characterization We'll Drawn, Though Possibly Not Ftattering
 to the Good Man.

Little Caroline and her grandmother went to church one Sunday morning recently. It had been some time since the small lady had attended and things and faces were new and strange.
 After returning home she sat in a quiet study.
 What are you thinking of, dear?' grandma asked.
 "Who was that fluffy man?" was the reply.
 What man, pet? I do not know which one you mean
 That man. 1 mean" Caroline said with an indignant frown.
 'I cant tell. dear, which one that is.'
 Well" said little Caroline, evident ly fully disgusted. "I mean the fluffy man that talks while we keep still"
 The pastor happened to be rather short. stout man with a good supply of hair and this was her unusual way of describing him.

Formal Garden Attractive.

John Evelyn has left plenty of de scriptions in his dairy of the great gardens he saw on the continent, as well as in England, in addition to his writings which deal directly with the subject.
 It is much open to question whether the transition from formal gardening to landscape gardening was such a step in advance as was thought at the time. The formal garden, with its clipped hedges, it's pIeached alleys, it's ponds and it's carefully planned flower beds, was a pleasant development of the gardeners art, and one which, after suffering a temporary eclipse. seems to be coming to it's own once more.
