HuNeARrANs SPIRITED
Chief Administrators of Laws Fights
Three DueIs in Week.

Three Duels IN week.
Minister of. Justice Tomcsany has
fought three duels within i week, says
Budapest, Hungary dispatch. AS
there is a Unemployment punish
ment for ducling and murder charge
If a duelist kills his opponent, 1t may
seem odd that the chief administra-
tor of laws should be so active duel
list himself. But, laws or no laws, II
Tomcsany refused to fight he could
not remain in political life.
Duelling is epidemic in Hungary,
and almost all the duels are political.
After every sitting of the Parliament
there are five. or, six duels. The duel
ling Is between the biggest men in the
body, and a party leader can hardly
expect to get through the session with
out fighting dozen men, Some few
politicians, such as Tomcsany, Count
Battiany or Rakowsiy, probably will
fight thirty duels apiece this year.

lenge. Oden Won Benitsky, the leader
of the Legitimists, was recently called
upon to- fight three duels in one day.
The Worlds Budapest correspondent
has frequently seen political duels, as
we'll as private duels-which also are
getting to be more common than they
used to be. For that matter, the duel
ling column in the Budapest papers,
which is published daily under q
standing head, is the first part Of the
paper everybody in Budapest turns to
at the breakfast table. The general
public is interested in every success

ed on the street by their friends with
comments on. their good or bad
swordsmanship. For nearly all duels
are fought with sabres When oc-.
OCCASIONALLY duel is fought will! pis-
tolls, old duelling pistols which have no
sights are used. OF the two the sabre
is the moro deadly.
The World correspondent witnessed
one Of Minister Tomcsany's duels. 1t
took place in a fencing hall where
mcst of these duels are fought. The
combatants were first in separate
rooms, where they stripped to tights
and tennis shoes. their only protection
being :. bandages about the jugular
veins. This protection is not always
given but IN political duels it almost
always is. ......

while the doctors prepared bandages,

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
Representative Bradford Writes Of
Hanpeninas in General Assembly,

Representative Bradford Writes OF
Happenings in General Assembly,
Apparently there is little left Tor
the house of representatives to do at
the. present session further than to
pass a few relatively unimportant
statewide measures, give its assent to
a number. Of county supply bills ana
devote the necessary attention to con-
ference reports on bills which have
been amended in, the senate. There Is
the promise of two more weeks OF the
session., which already has run one
week over the constitutional 4o-day
limit. When the session opened on
January IL many members OF both
houses expressed the, hope that It's
work would be finished in five weeks
at most, but instead we see the ses-
sion lasting longer than any session OF
recent years. and this, too, in the race
of the fact that this year more than
ever there was reason for relieving
the payers of every item of ex-.
pense not absolutely necessary. Few
perhaps know that the daily session
of the legislature cost more than ST.
O0O,. but it is a fact nevertheless, and
with the session running 20 days over
time it is a simple matter of multipli-
cation to ascertain. that the people
will be required, to put up more. than
SAC, 600 extra this year to meet the ex-,
pense of the body for its sitting be-
yond the. time the constitution makers
thought necessary Legislation was
hurried along in the house this year at
slip that made for early adjourn
ment, but when the revenue bills and
other important measures reached the
Fsenate so much time was consumed
there in considering them that all
thought of ending the session on time
went into the discard. Another rea-
son for the prolonged session is found
in the time devoted to hearings, The
general appropriation bill, for instance
wau passed by the house and for
warded to- the senate on February 49,
Since then the bill has been in the fl
nance committee of the senate, which
meanwhile has devoted the principal
part of each legislative day to listen
ing to the heads of the departments
and institutions pleading for appro-
priations just as they already had
done before the ways and means COM
mittee of the house. The budget COM
mission law provides that the hear
ings of these committees on the ap-
preparation bill shall be held jointly;
but the budget commission law is a
piece of legislation honored more In
the breach than in the observance, and
if it is not repealed within the next
year or two a number of members Of
both the house and senate will have
missed their guess.

The resignation last week Of Sena-
tor Christensen of Beaufort county
from the craftsmanship of the senate
finance committee, on the ground that
in the upper body business had won
over agriculture when agriculture
was in desperate straits, seems to
have had the effect Of gaining new
lease on life for one or two of the
revenue bills which that body had dis
posed of unfavcrably One of these
measures was the proposed tax on
hydro electric plants, passed by the
house early in the session and which
was expected to produce several hum
dred thousand dollars annually for the
state treasury. Last week the bill was
reintroduced in the house and this
week the senate will be given another
opportunity to put it to sleep. Friends
of the bill claim th:t 1t is one OF the
'fairest measures proposed in years to
raise revenue and that it's opponents
will have a hard time convincing
their constituents to the contrary.
The luxuries tax bill, another impor-
tant measure, from which its support
ers say that more than a million dol
lars a year would flow into the treas
| ury to lower to that extent the levy
on real estate, has met with the dis
favor of the senate finance committee,
but it may get into the statutes after
all as result of the shaking up that
body experienced last week. None of
the new revenue measures, it might
be said. was conceived by any men,

posed by Governor Cooper.

Medical examination by com
petent physicians of all applicants

tests, including the blood test, for
venereal diseases, until one or
both Of the contracting parties

MAIL CLERKS ENJOY
LULL BEFORE STORM

With practically all of the mid
dlewest and eastern Christmas
mails being sent by this time, the
employees of the local postoffice
are today having a little chance
to draw their breath before being
plunged into the heavy part of the
incoming mail. 1t is expected that
Friday night will see the height
Of the incoming mail passed.
From the knowledge of past
years experience with the holiday
mail the empolyes have learned
that every possible bit of space
must be used and that time is at a
premium. In order that they may
be able to handle the parcel post
more rapidly the postmaster's
room is to be used, as last year,
for the sorting of the parcels. A
chute has been built from the win
dow which makes 1t possible for
the parcel post carrier to drive his
auto up to the slide and receive
the mail much more quickly than
il he had to carry it from the Of
flee an armful at a time.
Some idea of the increase in the
outgoing mail may be gained when
it is known that the truck which
takes the mail to the train had to
make two trips yesterday, both
times with full load, to train
No. Is, northbound at 1880 p. m.
On the evening before there were
four truckloads which went north

DEDICATE NEW
HOME OF LODGE
AT MONMOUTH

Dallas, Or, Dec. 20.-With all
the necessary pomp and ceremony
that goes with such an event the
new hall of the Odd Fellows of
Monmouth was dedicated Monday
evening. Many people from out OF
town were in attendance and the
room was crowded with about ESQ
of the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
In Polk county. The event had
long been looked forward to and
great preparations had been made
for carrying the program as ar
ranged to a successful conclusion.
This is the best and biggest hall
for the purpose in the county. 1t
reflects great credit not only on
the city of Monmouth, but also to
those who were the main cause OF
its construction. With the excep-
tion of the seats in the large lodge
room, the entire building is COM
pleted, many of the new tenanrs
having already taken possession
of their premises.
Prior to the dedication cere-
monies a meeting was held of the
Polk County Odd Fellows Visiting
association, at which considerable
business Of Importance pertaining
to this part of the organization
was transacted.
An interesting program had
ben arranged consisting of vocal
and instrumental selections and
speeches These latter were de-
livered by the past grandmaster

v. B. Butler of Monmouth. Fol
lowing the dedication ceremony a
dance was held and this was fol-
lowed by the serving of a supper,
given and prepared by the Re-
