Presentation and
Violence General
In Irish Election

Belfast, ireland, May 70. -
Wholesale charges Of intimidation
by beatings and threats, and per-
sonation during the balloting in
Ulster for members of the new
northern Irish parliament are be-
ing made by both the nationalists
and unionists.
Neither side appears to attempt
to conceal the fact that persona
tion was carried on to an unprece-
dented extent.
AS reports come in from the
provinces the number Of cases In
which children voted yesterday in
creases but there was only one
anywhere which matched that OF
the child OF 2h years who voted
for Moles, a candidate in South
Belfast. That was the case OF a
girl Just under three years who
cast her vote for ]. NJ. Barbour, a
unionist candidate in Antrim
who is we'll known in the United
States.
II Is not unusual for Ulster chill
dren to get on the voting lists and
a case Is recalled in the last cleo.
tions where a family Of eight chill
dren, ranging from IS years down
ward exercised the franchise. II
Is easy for their names TO get on
lists on which all persons OF vot-
Ing age automatically are placed
and there they remain until th'
revision which occurs in July ol
this year when they can be OBJ
pected to. Meanwhile they are
fully entitled TO vote.
Sometimes the child. named foi
a deceased parent has its name OF
I the lists. but more often the chil
dren's names get on the poll book
through a misapprehension. Whe1
elections agents ask how mani
persons IN the house are eligible e
vote. not infrequently the respond
ents give the names Of all member
Of the family.

manager Of the Oregon Growers
Cooperative association.
The reduction on died prunes of
From s1,6Sk to $1.25 per hun
bred will mean a saving Of at least
100000 to growers of prunes in
Festern Oregon, Mr.. Paulus says,
fcr this coming season.
This estimate is based on a 20,-
100000 pound crop of prunes in
5he northwest. One hundred
pounds Of prunes, boxed, weigh
~ pounds. At the present rate
N N,6615 per hundred gross
1geight, it costs $1.S7 to deliver a
lsO pound box of prunes in the

BFunes delivered in New York at
Ae present rate costs $1.93.
With the new rate of $1.25 per

neluding war tax, S1.44 to deliver
1 i0O pound box of prunes in New
PORK. Thus the new rate just an

Requested
Reduction,
Is Denied
Plea of Lumbermen
for Lower Compensa-
tion Rate Is Refused
by Commission

The request of certain large
lumber companies in eastern Ore
gon for a reduction in their rated
OF contribution to the workmen's s
compensation fund was denied By
the Industrial accident commits
sion here this morning. In a let
ter conveying its rejection of the
requested reduction the commits
sion points out that unde. an
amendment to the compensation
act passed by the last legislature
and effective July first 73 per
cent of the lumber operators in
eastern Oregon will be accorded
reductions of from ten to thirty
per cent in their rates of contri-
button. Because of this amend
ment which automatically adjusts
rates Of contributions to the fund
the commission did not believe it
advisable to interfere with the
schedule Of rates at this time.
Wage Cuts Reduce Tax
In addition to this reduction
the commission also calls atten-
tion to the reductions in wages
which have taken place in the
lumber industry which reduct-
ions will be directly reflected in
reductions in the cost of insur-
ance tto employers operating un-
der the compensation act, contri-
buttons to the compensation fund
being reduced in direct proportion
to reductions in wages although
compensations to injured work
men only partially follow wage
fluctuations.
New Schedule Lower

effective July 1, which will be
based on the accident experience OF
tn Individual firmsc for the past
five years 20 tof the 95 eastern
Oregon employers operating un.

Joy reductions in their rates as
follows: Fifty one firms will re-
ceive reductions of 80 percent OF
the present rate; four firms will
receive reduction Of 25 percent
tnine firms twenty per cent; four
firms fifteen per cent; two firfss
ten per cent. The other fifteen
firms will have their rates in
creased as follows: Four firms

FRENCH FARMERS MADE GAINS
Assertion That They Realized Large
Financial Benefits From tho
4 War Seems Reasonable.

"A class of French society that gained
large financial benefits from the war
is the farmers. They have become of
late q great force in French politics,
thus far only defensively, in avoiding
taxation, but later they will surely
grow more aggressive.
In the old days many, If not most, Of
them used to rent the land they titled,
but now the tenant farmer has ceased
to e1ist-they have all recently bought
their; farms. There were 100000
American soldiers in France, and it is
estimated that, on an average, they
spent dollar day apiece out Of their
own pockets; this makes 100000
a day, and most ;ot it went to the
French farmers, TO say nothing of the
millions spent by our government to
supply ratlons to these very soldiers.
The difference between the city prof.
teers and the farmers is that the for
mer. are Few, while the latter represent
q. very large vote, which has the same
results that : it would have in any
other republic, viz, those representing
the large vote are not taxed!...
The needs ofathe French budget will
doubtless bring about correction Of
this state of. affairs, when the farmer
vote will have to pass from the de-
fensive to the aggressive.-C. n. Sher-
rill5in. the Outlook. w.:
