INSURANCE RECEIPTS
SHOW STEADY INCREASE

A total of $352,SS9.41 was re-
ceived from taxes and fees by the
state insurance department dur
ing the year 1921, according tc
the. annual report of A. G. Barber
state insurance commissioner
This represents an increase oi
more than $4,000 over the re-
CENTS of the department for the
previous year. These taxes, how
ever, the report explains, were re-
cetved from the premium income
of 1920 which was the high water
mark in the insurance business In
Oregon. The income from this
source for the current year is ex-
pected to show a slump of approx
imately $4,000 based on premium
incomes for 1921.
There was a marked decline in
tide new life insurance written
during the year and heavy lapse
ratio on such business in force, -
the report points out.

For long time Sheila Elliston
sat silently at my feet.
The moonlight gave her face a
beautiful radiance as she gazed
straight down in its pathway to
the sea.
She had thrown her arms across
my knees. l could only see her pro-
file, but | bent forward n little as
she suddenly turned her eyes up to
mine.
I sat quietly, not wishing to seem
to force her confidence. | was eager
for everything she would say, but
knew that the story would be
only half told if l urged her. And
wanted all the secrets of Sheila
Ellistons soul. That there WIS a
secret was sure. Surely no girl
would refuse the love of a man like
my brother for no greater reason
than a sense Of duty to a profession,
And besides, there was the atti-
tude Of DR., Thornton.
With a sigh, Sheila turned to me,
and looking me squarely in the face
with not a flicker of an eyelid,
she asked:
Mrs. Wilmington, would You we
come as a sister, a girl who had
been openly disgracedi"
For a moment l stared at her
stupidity. Disgrace coupled with
the name of Sheila ElIiston was
something l could not comprehend
Because in my surprise, l did not
answer promptly, she spoke in a
choking voice;
"Oh, l knew you not What wom-
an could take to her heart as the
wifo of such splendid man as your
brother a girl who had been pub
Icy branded as q felonf"

scious of it until with a shudderins
sigh she drew slightly away from
me.
l had thought of many things in
regard to Sheila, but this was be-
yond my widest imagination. Sheila

"I don't understand you, my dear

She turned about and faced the

and caught a glimpse OF her marble

as though the fires within were
masked with tears.

The Passing of the Boss

To the Editor-About fifteen
wears ago L read the following, and
if you see that the words apply
well to the present administration
and would be of interest to the
city set it as prose.
Long has the fires of freedom
on our alters freely burned, while
the people followed bosses. " no the
peoples wrights have spurned and
long the blinded voters, have en-
dured the party yoke, til our gov
erument corrupted has become
standing joke. The machinery of
parties has become the ready tool
bv which our willy bosses have pro-
longed their selfish rule, for they
tinker with the tariff and talk of
Lib -Er-T but the way they fool
the people is a sorry sight to see.
From the overburdened toilers they
exact great revenue and then the
grafters shift it to the pockets OF
the few. When its known that pur-
chased traitors have betrayed the
peoples cause, they declare the
other party has passed those wicked
laws, and with pretended innocence
are awfully surprised at scandaelous
conditions from vices legalized.
Still the willy bosses, concoct some
new designs to fool rebelliOus vot-
ers and whip them into line. One
set of silly fellows they (did) in
toxieate with beer, another they
kept chloroformed with prejudice
and fear. For party, and not prin-
cipal, the Bishop and the Bum
were yoked together voting, in the
interest of rum. While liquor was
enguIfing homes with devastating
flood and social gangrene steadily
infects the nations blood and the
voter sees the carnival of lust and
greed expand when Gambricrees
ruled the Bosses and the Bosses
ruled the land.
Now election day is coming
they'll pretend to be concerned for
The welfare of the people who they
think have never learned how they
haggle over platforms and exhibit
great distress over planks they've
so constructed as to make them
meaningless. All the policies and
doctrines dead spell binders are
gloating or will be made the lead
ing issues as they have been here
tofore, and they'll sound the same
old keynote and send forth the
Clarion call with the same old
words of warning that they don't
believe at all.
Now, right now, the Bosses are
in trouble for the latest signs por
tend that their vicious rule is des-
tined soon to reach a final end, for
nation wrath is kindled to a
fierce consuming fire and ma
ions pulse is thrilling with a loft
ier desire, and the thunder Of ma
tons voice resounds upon the air.
AS a new emancipation is demanded
everywhere. Then beside old glory
will be raised the banner of the
cross and equity will triumph with
the passing of the Boss.
From memory,

NEW ORLEANS. La, March A.
At least % persons We're killed and
many others were seriously injured
as result of a series of storms at
pleaces reaching the proportions of
tornadoeS, which visited isolated sec
tions of Louisiana, Mississippi. Ar
kansas and Oklahoma last night and
early today.
The heaviest loss of life reported
was at Gowen, Okla. a village Is
miles east of McAlester where 12
persons were killed when a tornado
swept through the foreign section
of the village last night. Many 9TH
ers were slightly injured.
Six negroes were killed when the
storm passed through the northeast
ern section OF Jefferson county and
the southeastern section Of Lonoke
county. Ark. early today. The storm
in this section left trail of wrecked
buildings for 20 miles.
At Sulphur, Okla, two persons
were killed late yesterday and 10
others were seriously injured. Prop
erty damage is estimated at 100000.
Fifty buildings were completely de-
molished and 200 people were left
homeless.
Eight homes were demolished at
Sunrise. a village two miles north
OF Baton Rouge. and a negro woman
and her child were killed. Four 9TH
ers were slightly injured there early
today.
Twenty persons were injured, a
number seriously. when the storm
struck Corinth, Miss. today. More
than $50 homes were leveled. The
storm swept a path more than 100
feet wide, razing every building in
its path. A school building in which
We're 1000 children barely escaped
the path of the storm.
An aged negro man was killed and
several negroes were slightly injured
and a score OF houses were destroyed
at Arkansas City. Ark, early today.
Only meager details are available
from the sections visited by the
storm on account of the damage to
wire communication, and 1t is feared
the death toll will be greatly in
creased when more information is
available. Little effort has been
made to estimate the property dam
age which. in addition TO destroyed
homes and other buildings, includes
damage to crops an destruction to
livestock.
The storm was accompanied by
the usual freaks. the most outstand-

was blown from a bed on which It
was lying across the yard. where its

COAL STRIKE IS
INEVITABLE SAY
LABORLEADERS
IRepubIIcan a. ?. leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, March 14-Secre-
tary of Labor Davis and John L.
Lewis. president of the United Mine
Workers, exchanged views today on
the threatening situation In the biz
luminous coal industry and both
were said after their conference to
be- of the opinion that national
strike in the union fields was inev-
itabe. Mr.. Lewis assured Mr.. Da-
Wis again OF the willingness OF the
miners union to open negotiations
for a new national wage contract, a
proposition which mine operators are
refusing to entertain.
Later, Mr.. Lewis declared the ces-
sation of work in the union mines
after April /. was coming about au-
tomatically," and asserted that "a
bold commercial policy of the ope-
rators for which the public must
pay" was In part responsible.
'If there is no conference between
the miners union and the operators" ="
he added. referring to the bitumin-
Gus situation. "there can be no wage
contract drawn up; IL there is no
wage contract there won't be any
coal dug after April in union mines.
Mr.. Lewis accused the mine ope-
rators' associations. which have

district contracts, of playing for
position" and shooting propaganda"
Operators in certain districts. he
insisted, would like to get an ex-
elusive right to the coal market aft
er April /, when all other mines are
shut up" but could not make wage
contracts until the basis for ma
tional scale had been laid by a wage
contract into the central compet-
tive field, which will determine the
wages and costs of their compet-
itors have to meet and fix the rela-
tionships in the coal market"
Meanwhile, he declared. coal COM
panies can make a lot of money" by
refusing to enter conferences, get
ting out strike scares and frighten-
ing consumers into paying high
prices for COAL
He also insisted that district or
ganizations of the miners union, ex-
cept in Illinois, were supporting their
national officials in demanding the
national settlement. Mr.. Lewis came
here today from Illinois and after his
conference with Secretary Davis left
with several representatives of the
national union for New York, where
the general scale communities of the
union and anthracite operators are
in session to consider terms for a
new wage contract.

fired at them a series of questions
which resulted in a definite enrich

consisting in the fact that the uues-

one could or would answer them. and
the penalty being 10 cents in each
case. ]. Oscar Sexson was the man
behind this scheme.
