BONUS NO
NEARER TO
SOLUTION
Republican Leaders
Search for Financing
Method Acceptable
to Harding

Washington, Feb. 15.-With
President Harding known to op-
pose both additional taxes and a
bond issue, republican leaders of
the house began casting about
today for other means Of finan-
cling the soldiers bonus.
Representative Mondell Of Wy
oming, during a visit to the White
House, said pending appropriation
bills, particularly those for the
navy and army, would be scrutin-
lied carefully, with view to
slashes that would provide a good
measure Of the money needed. 1t
was thought that any deficiency
could be made up through an is
sue of short time treasury certifi-
cate.
Mr.. Mondell did not see Presi-
dent Harding, who was under
stood to be preparing a letter to
Chairman McCumber of the SEN
ate finance committee, setting
forth his views against the sug-
gested eight point program and
an issue of five-year treasury
notes.
Pending receipt Of that letter,
the joint conferences between ma
jority members Of the finance
committee and the house ways and
means committee on the bonus
problem were suspended.
1t was understood that all of
the senators did not share the ad-
ministration's views as to the
probable effect Of an issue of short
term votes on the refunding oper-
ations Of the government.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Lumber
manufacturers of Idaho, western
Montana and eastern Oregon
have organized and conducted
the Western Pine Manufacturer
association for the primary pur-
pose Of agreeing on the prices of
their lumber" the federal trade
commission declared today in sub
mitting to congress the fourth Of
a series of reports dealing with
the lumber industry.
"The activities of the associa-
tion in advancing prices by con-
certed action were contemporary
eous with a steadily rising price
level between 1915 and 1920" ths
report asserted, adding that in
periods of depression, members Of
the association acted in concert
to regulate production so as to
maintain prices.
The association has a separate
organization in Montana which
fixes prices within that state, the
commission also charged and
there has been active competi-
tion the Western Pine Manufac-
turers association and the West

TAYLOR AND ELWELL MURDERS
PRESENT THE SAME PROBLEMS:
BOTH LIVED AND DIED IN SECRET
Same Elements of
Mystery Enter Into
Cases of Men Who
Lost Lives Violently
By MargerY Rex.


New York, Feb. 15.-It is easy
for the enemy of a man who lives
secretly to murder his unseen.
In mysterious manner two men
who ate the secret bread of pleas
ure and drank sweet stolen waters
have died by the fury of assassins
still unknown.
The career of William Desmond
Taylor, slain movie director, In
lige and death paralleled that of
Jim" Elwell, so strangely shot
down in his New York home two
years ago.
Each lived alone, and alone
each was attacked. From both
Taylor and Elwell, in their last
moments, someone fled.
Men who shun daylight are apt
to make themselves tempting tar
gets for marksmen in the dark.
Taylor's leave-,aKlng Of life
was just as mysterious as his in
explicable departure in 1908 from
his wife and child and just as un-
accountable as his later change of
name, for the dead man was
known originally as William Cum
ningham Deane-Tanner.
Who Was Slayer?
Who could have arranged Tay-
lor's clandestine rendezvous with
death?
Suspicion goes over the list of
possibilities. There is, for in
stance, Edward F, Sands, the dead
mans valet, who robbed his mas

TAXPAYERS
OF COUNTY
ORGANIZE
Lively Meet Is Held
Here and Officers
Chosen; Solons Are
Popular Target

Alleged wanton, unrestrained
expenditure of taxpayers money
by the legislature of the state Of
Oregon was the most popular tar
get Of verbal shafts hurled by
speakers who last night addressed
a meeting of the Marion County
Taxpayers Reduction league In
the court house here. The league,
though still an infant In this
county, last night took its first
setting up exercises with a view
to becoming a potent figure in the
state war for tax reduction and
it's constituents declared they are
out for results.
Seventy five persons were pres
ent at the gathering which was
held In the court room Of Circuit
Judge Bingham and SO member
ships were last night issued. d,
w. Fisher was elected president
of the organization and s. M. En-
dicott was chosen as secretary.
Extravaganza is Cited
Parsimony has no place at the
meetings Of Oregon's Legislators,
according to Mr.. Endicott, who
was one Of the chief speakers last
night. At the last regular session,
he declared, the solons had, ON an
average, between two and three
stenkgraphers and clerks at their
respective becks and calls and, in
consequence, were fairly well pre-
pared to attack the business at
hand. According to Mr.. Endicott's
figures, the senate was provided
with 80 stenographers and clerks,
and the house of representatives
was furnished with 1876 of these
assistants.
In response to call from North
Howell taxpayers, the local organ
ization will send speakers to a
meeting to be held at North How
ell next Friday night, at which
time the taxpayers Of that vicinity
are expected to perfect an organ
ization similar to the one estab-
lished here. Peter Darcy and Mr..
Endicott probably will be sent, II
was stated.
State Meet Due Soon
Other taxpayers bodies are be.

vention to be held In Portland on

The opinion that the Oregon leg
islature has on many occasions

pressed themselves as being well

ence in the future.
