Holman Enters
Polk Contest
For Legislature

Dallas, Or, March 18.-Glen o
Holman, an attorney Of this city
and who is prominently identified
with the activities Of the tax re-
ductiOn league, has announced his
candidacy for the republican nom
nation for the state legislature
from Polk county. Mr.. Holman
has been a resident Of Dallas foI
the past 16 years, practicing law
having been admitted to the Ore
gon bar In 1874. He has had con-
siderable experience in the legis-
lative halls of Oregon, though not
as a member of either branch. He
was appointed reading clerk in
the senate in 1880 and Of the
in 1889, 1891 aud 1893, In 1911
when Congressman G. N. Nc
Arthur was speaker Of the house,
Mr.. Holman was his private secre-
tary. At present he is connected
with the constitutional league of
America and will leave on the
first of April for tour Of Oregon
and California in the leagues be-
half. delivering lectures at vari-
GUS points on Americanization
and the constitution. Mr.. Hol-
mans platform is quite broad in
its scope and favors the abolish
ment of useless commissions and
is against all appropriations not
within the primary purposes Of
government. He is also in favor
Of putting the state and county
officers on the same salary they
were receiving at the time Of
their election.
Mr.. Holman's entry into the
field somewhat complicates mat
tiers in legislative candidates in
Polk county. His entry makes
the third, C. o. Powell and d. f.
Fletcher having announced their
candidacy some time ago. Each
Of the three candidates has a
large following over the county
and the contest among them will
be a hard fought one.

KingwoodLikely
to Be New Name
For West Salem

With several petitions, favor
ing "Kingwood" as the new name
for West Salem, being circulated
and generally signed in West Sa'
lem, "Kingwood" will likely be
the towns new name, residents
of the community said today.
Although the matter OF name
will be brought before the city
council at its meeting Monday
night, the selection of a name
may be left to the people at the
next election, it was said.
In the opinion of Millar McGll-
christ, city attorney of West Sa-
lem, a town may take the name
of one of it's subdivisions. Prior
to the time he made his announce
ment, many residents were Ia
boring under the impression that
some name other than KING
wood" would necessarily DE
chosen.

Harding Ends
Vacation With
Round of Golf

st. Augustine, Fla, March Is.
.-(By Associated Press. .)-Re-
freshed by his ten days of rest and
relaxation, President Harding will
bring his vacation trip to a close
today when, with the members OF
his party, he boards the special
train for the return journey to

here was on the presidents pro-
gram before his departure.
Secretary and Mrs. Weeks, who
came to Florida for a vacation
shortly before the president, will
be among the returning party,
which, besides Brigardier General
Sawyer, the presidents personal
physician and Secretary Christian,
also includes Attorney General
Daugherty and Under Secretary of
State Fletcher. General Sawyer
said today that the president
showed great benefit from his
trip.
President Harding has informed
Secretary DENLY that one Of the
first things he will take up on
his return to Washington is the
navy fuel situation, resulting from
congressional reductions in the
appropriation for that purpose,
which naval officials may result
in drastic curtailment Of the move.

SENATOR
JONES is
ACCUSED
Proceedings Started to
Disbar Eugene Attor-
ney; Fraud and Mis-
conduct Charged

Walter B. Jones, Eugene at
torney and state senator from
Lane county, who was yesterday
arrested in Eugene on a contempt
Of court charge, is also faced with
proceedings to disbar him from
the further practice Of law in
Oregon.
A formal complaint charging
Jones with "willful fraud and de-
ceit and misconduct in his pro-
fession" was filed in the supreme
court here this morning by the
grievance committee of the state
bar association which asks that
Jones be disbarred. The complaint
further asserts that Jones has
failed to maintain the respect
due to the courts Of justice in
this state and that the same de-
serves and merits disbarment."
Jones was this morning cited
to appear before the court on
April II to show cause why he
shold not be disbarred.
The committee filing the charg-
es is composed of Loring X. Ad-
ame, A. l.. Veazie, Alfred P. Dod-
son, Alfred A. Manson and j. 0.
Bailey. Elton Watkins is named
as the attorney for the committee
who has been instructed to insti-
tute disbarment proceedings.
The particular charge on which
Jones' disbarment will be sought
involves the alleged appropria-
ton Ito his own use and benefit
approximately $981O.71" belong
ing to the estate Of Hester M.
0'Dell for which Jones was guar
dian. The complaint alleges that
Jones after appropriating this
sum to his own use inserted
second mortgage for $40, 900 on
property in Wisconsin among the
effects Of the estate as security
for the money involved. OF the
money alleged to have been mis-
appropriated approximately $1,000
has been paid back by sureties Of
Jones.
The complaint points out that
Jones was notified that an inves-
tigation of his record was under
way and was given an opportuni-
ty to appear before the committee
to explain or refute the charges
but that he failed to make an ap-
pearance.
Jones was admitted to prac-
tice law in Oregon on September
20, 1910, on a certificate from
Minnesota, his admission being
made permanent on May 81, 1911.

dwelling because there are Meth.
er teachers nor pupils on the
island.
The large colony of Californi-
ans, shown in photos in promotion
literature, is conspicuous by its
absence. Although the exploita-
tion of the island has been under
way for ten years, there are only
ten families on the island and
one of these is leaving because
broke. Most of the investors give
1t the once over and never return.
The price paid by Salemites for
the land is $50 an acre. Land on
the mainland can be purchased
for from 80 cents per acre UP,
and land as good or better than
any on the island, for SIS an acre.
The entire island was offered for
sale a few years ago for $3.50 an
acre and 1t is questionable
whether the promoters paid any
more.
No Cows or Milk
Title to the land is guaranteed
by trust company by some form
of trust deed that gets around the
Mexican constitutional provision
requiring citizenship. Whether or
not it will stand is problematical.
Original title is by crown or
government grant.
There are no cows or milk or
butter on the island, no crops and
no improvements worthy the
name. The island is covered by
brush and forest and clearing will
be necessary for its utilization.

Garden of Eden, a bit of paradise,
where all investors had to do was
to sit in the shade, famed by cold

1t is estimated that over $50, 900

only 300 or 400 acres slashed for

ment aggregating more than
$3.50, 200 in the past three years
according to tie annual report OF
State Treasurer Hoff made public
today.
This increase in earnings
amounted to $1O3,S00 in 1921 and
averaged $4,000 a year for the
three years of his administration,
Hoff points out.
Earning Power Constant
The increase in the earnings of
his department Hoff explains as
due to a policy which keeps the
active funds of the state down to
the minimum with the bulk Of the
state funds drawing interest and
to a careful scruting of estates
which has resulted in large in
creases in the receipts of the in
heritance tax department.
Business handled by the state
treasury department has more
than trebled since 1918, according
to the report. In a comparative
statement accompany the report
Hoff points out that in 1918 re-
ceipts of the department were
$10,503,177.61 with disburse-
ments of $1O,$37,SS2.65 while in
1921 receipts had increased to
$34,378,560.62 with disburse-
ments of $35, $50, ,464.98.
Business Increased.
The increase in the business OF
the department Hoff explains as
due to the addition Of the state
and irrigation district
funds to the department in 1919
and to the creation Of numerous
funds.
During the year 1918 the aver
age daily balance in the active
state depository on which no in
terest is earned, amounted 10
$34S,357.62 while the same bal
ance during the year 1921 was re-
1uced to $34,743.06," Hoof's re-
port reads. Through this policy
