This was done at once. The nurses

the whole New York Fire Department

ThS people along the Oregon coast

vestor would not care to place his
money in Oregon and pay the addi-
tional burden of state income tax
on any profits he might make.
This would reflect directly to the
detirment of the farmer who depends
for his markets on the industrial grow
tn and incoming population to the
state.
Experience has proven that any new
form of taxation is simply added tax
alton" New forms of taxation do not
reduce the former total tax bi!l-they
simply make it larger and establish
another payment which the taxpayer
must meet.
Let the people beware of loading
themselves with new tax burdans.
Tax reduction will be secured by
making less need for tax revenue rath-
er than by creating more tax revenue
rom new sources to tax.

way commission has been able %
give the construction of the highway
by short stretches is already in prog
ress. The line is being laid out by en-
gineers with a view to a scientific
construction and ultimate permanency.
The line south from Tillamook is rap
idly approaching the Lincoln County
line on the north. Engineers are now
setting stakes near the south line Of
Lincoln County. A recent convention
of the Roosevelt Highway association
was one of the most largely attended
and most enthusiastic road conven-
tions ever held on the Pacific coast.
The coast line highway cannot be
headed Off 1t is one of those things
that are inevitable. Foreign cars
and Oregon cars are at every acces-
sible point along the ocean. 1t is so
human and so natural for people to
seek the greenery, the ozone and the
beauty of the coast line, the thun-
der of the surf and the majestic
movement of the ocean, that cars
are already pushing their way over
the crude stretches of road all up
and down the Oregon shores.
This natural impulses of men and
the go-get-it purpose of the people
down by the sea to have the line
will. ultimately complete the Roose-
welt highway. The line is as certain
to ultimately be a part Of the Ore
gon system of highways as that the
last rays of the setting sun spread
their golden sheen over the bosom
of the Pacific.
And the rest Of Oregon should do
its part in the great enterprise.

WOODHOUSE DENIES
DISINHERITING son
Shows Will to Jury to Prove It-Neither
He Nor Wife Object to Marriage of
Douglas and Miss Stevens.

BURLINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Lorenzo
f. Woodhouse of New York, testifying
yesterday at the trial of the 81 .000, 900
alienation suit brought against him and
his wife by their daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Dorrit Stevens WOodhouse. denied that
he had ever disinherited his son, threat
ened to take such action or even talked
about il. 1t had been alleged that the
elder WOodhouse. who is president of the
Merchants National bank here had cut
his son off as a result of the latter's mar
riage.
To substantiate his statement the wit
ness testified that his WILL drawn in
1915. about three years before his sons
marriage. had not been modified in any
way since. He identified the will. which
was produced and shown to the jury
When informed a short time before
the wedding that their son intended to
marry Dorrit Stevens, his parents made
no objection and wished the young peo-
pie happiness. Lorenzo Woodhouse said.
He asked to be notified of the date of
the wedding few days in advance so
that he and Douglass mother could ''at-
tend to the little cOurtesies." But they
We're not told about the wedding until
it was over. which made them feel badly.
he said.
After the marriage, Lorenzo Wood
house next saw his son in the hospital at
Long Branch. " J.. about two and
ont-H1lI months IaIeF y young woman
was in the room when Mr.. Woodhouse
senior entered, but he did not realize un-
til afterwards, he said, that this was his
sons bride
Mr. WoOdhouse senior denied ever tell
ing Douglas that he was in any way dis
satisfied with Dorrit Stevens as daugh-
ter-in-law The first talk about the mar
riage. so far as the witness could renem-
her. was in September, 1918. not long
before it occurred. Douglas came to
Easthampton, L. /. With his parents
both present. Douglas said, according to
the witness:
Father. am going to marry Miss
Stevens"
Lorenzo Woodhouse testified that this
was the first that he and his wife hal
heard OF the engagement. Witness said
he told his son:
Marriage is a pretty important part
of a mans life and woman's, too. We
have no objection, either your mother or
l. We only hope that you viii be able
TO get along and be happy together"
The witness said that Douglas :
mother concurred in this expression of
their attitude that there was no trou-
bic about it, and that Douglass mother
did not leave the room and go upstaiks
in tears, as had been claimed.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY
MAKE STRONG PAIR
English and French Oppose Russian
Participation In Near East
Conference

LAU Same, Nov. . ASSOCIATED
Press Russia and Turkey, working
together, are expected TO make strong
pair at Lausanne and other delegates TO
the Near East conference are wonder
ing what effect the combination viii
have.
English and French circles show a dis
position TO reject the demands forwarded
by the Russian delegation, insisting that
Russia be heard not only in the Darda-
nelleS discussion, but in all questions IN
the conference agenda. 1t IS pointed
out that Russia has signed peace
treaty with Turkey and that. therefore
there is no reasonable basis for her de-
mand that she participate in the general
deliberations to determine the terms of
a settlement between Greece and Turkey
on one hand, and Turkey and the allies
on the other.
Great Britain, France and Italy are
reported TO have agreed that the original
note of invitation 10 Russia shall stand
and that the. Russian delegates shall be
admitted only during discussion of the
regulation Of the Turkish straits.

money maker" the speaker said.
We plan to have in every school, eS-

in agriculture, taught by graduates Of

sons, the practical results of scientific
agricultural education, and thereby open

SIX CHANGES MADE
IN BILL YESTERDAY
Provision That Shippers on American
Vessels Should Receive Income Tax
Rebate Is Cut Out-Attempt TO Stop
Subsidy to Private Concerns.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2S.-The di-
rect government-aid section of the adj
ministration bill was the next target for
amendment when the house, meeting an
hour ahead of time today. resumed con-
sideration of the measure. upon which Il
final vote will be taken tomorrow after
noon. The bin as it stood today has been
amended in six more or less vital particu-
lars as the result of the first day Of
reading for amendments yesterday.
Regarded as the most important of the
amendments adopted was that cutting
out bodily the provision under which
shippers on American vessels would re-
celye an income tax rebate amounting
to per cent of the transportation paid.
Others adopted eliminated the section
permitting sale of ships by the shipping
board without advertising or competitive
bidding; increase from TO IA per cent

revolving fund for ship construction; and
provided that the steamship Leviathan,
the biggest of the government fleet,

Beside the amendments adopted, an
nOuncement was made by Representative
Edmonds, Pennsylvania, ranking Repub-
lican member of the merchant marine
committee which framed the bill. that he
would offer an amendment striking out
the provision under which concerns, such
as the Standard Oil Co.. transporting
their own goods in their own ships
would share in the government subsidy.
