Profiteering Charges
To Bring Fight Before
irrigation Committee

One of the real legislation fights
of the session will open tonight be
fore the irrigation committee when
the clashing interests of irrigation
lists, bond houses, banks, promoters
and contractors will be given a
hearing and the charges of prof.
teering aired.
1t has been declared by the irri-
cation members that not over co
per cent on the dollar from the sale
Of irrigation bonds has been real
lied by the districts involved, the
balance going into profiteers pock-
cts.
MulctinE the Farmer.
1t is also charged, that bond
brokers, though ostCnsibly purchaS-
ing bonds at not less than 80 per
cent of the par value, have as a
usual thing tackled a contingent fee
upon their underwriting or con-
8truction contracts that has ab-
sorbed an additional per cent SO
that the districts at the jumpoff re-
ceived but IS cents on the dollar.
without any consideration of addi-
tional contract cost, and this in the
face of the fact that the bonds have
been allocated by California banks
TO their correspondent and subsi-
diary banks at 101.
The sponsors for the bills con-
tend that they "are loaded for
bear; that when the fight narrows
down to the final passage or re-
lection of the bills that they will
be "all ready to shoot if necessary
and if that Necessary ARISES there
will be most interesting and even
disclosures made in Ca-
gard to the circumstances sur
rounding the irrigation work which
has been done in the past two
years.
Patterson Bond Bill.
In addition to the irrigation
measures now in Gne house, SenG-
tor Patterson has one in the senate,
which attacks another angle of the
case. For example to buy about
$5,OOO,OOO of bonds of an oregon
project, on which the state guar
antees interest. If the bank should
become insolvent, there might be n
moral obligation involved on the
part of the state.
Senator Patterson's bill provides
that irrigation securities, of ap-
proved projects which the state is
guaranteeing, must be deposited in
Oregon banks and that these secur-
tiles must be protected the same as
other states funds. Against the
Patterson bill there is an active lob
by representing California banking
concerns. There are irrigationists,
however, who while fighting the
house bills. offer no objection to
the Patterson measure, admitting
that the irrigation bonds should be
safeguarded and if there is any
bank to make money on them.
Oregon banks should have the first
call.

urday, November 18th, the young
Rowan has some fierce fist fights with
members of his gang. 1t is Johnnie
Walkers custom to put good deal
of vim into such scenes, but he tries
to do it without really hurting any Of
his fellow actors seriously.
A husky extra, employed by Direc-
tor William X. Howard for one of
these rough scenes, smiled scornfully
when Walker explaind to him how he
coud twist his chin so as to catch a
blow on the shoulder while it would
seem, on the screen, to crash against
his jaw. The man winked at another
extra and said in an aside:
81 shan't bother. The kid can't hurt
me-"
Johnnie Walker is not a heavy
weight. The extra did not twist his
chin away from that realistic punch
for the film, and the result was real
knockout; also bruised knuckles for
the young star. Walker then asked
that Director Howard hereafter hire
extras with less bone in their heads or
in their jaws.

theme of an editorial devoted to

is that there is no use sitting back

other things. AS Ed Howe says:
There will be no new conditions; we

CHARMING STORY OF
LIFE IN THE SOUTH

A beautiful story, delightfully."- de-
picted by some of the most character
istic types ever seen IN screen
drama, is George Melford's new
Paramount production, "The Juck-
lins," which will be shown at the
Newark Opera House, Tuesday, No
vember 18th.
The characters of Opie Reads
famous novel, seem to have been lift
ed bodily out of the book and trans
formed into living, breathing, mov-
ing people. Monte Blue, who plays
Bill Hawes, the country school teach
er, seems living double for the au-
thor's character creation, and so is
Charles Ogle, who interprets old Lem
Jucklin to perfection.
"The Jucklins" is tale of South
ern country folks after the Civil War.
There are two beautiful romances,
and the story contains all the other
requisite elements, such as suspense,
mystery and appeal.

ROAD BUILDING ONE 7
OF THE COUNTRY'S
GREATEST INDUSTRIES
Annual Good Roads Congress
Will Meet in January

Highway construction has become
one of the country's greatest indus
tries, according to E. L. Powers, Sec
retary of the American Road Build
ers Association. Mr.. Powers in pre-
pairing for an important meeting Of
the Association to be held in New
York, November Is, has called atten-
ton to the facts supporting this state
ment: There are identified with high
way construction in this country SO,-
900 highway officials, 1000 road con-
tractors, 1000 bridge contractors,
1,196 manufacturers and dealers in
road building machinery materials
and appliances, 1888 firms manufac-
turing highway transportation equip
ment, $4,000 civil and highway engi-
neers, 10000 chemical and other engi-
neers, and S42 highway associations
and engineers and contractors asso-
Citations, as we'll as many publications
devoted to good roads.
That the manufacture of vehicles
dependent upon good roads runs up
into billions of dollars of invested
capital, is another point made by Sec
retary Powers. He continues, Road
building is largely in its infancy.
Eighty-five per cent. of American
roads are yet to be surfaced. The au-
tomobile having merged city and
country, we have reached the point
where advancement in production and
trade hereafter will be more depen-
dent upon careful maintenance of the
highways now existing and the rapid
development of new ones. The stabll-
ity and growth of the entire automo-
tive industry, as we'll as that OF road
building and all it's branches, are alb
solutely dependent upon good roads"
The twelfth Good Roads Congress
will be held in Chicago, January II
to 20.
