'TAY PAY O'CONNOR
IS STRICKEN At 81.
"Father of Commons" Fails
to Recognize Friends at
His Bedside.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 16-With the
rain and wind of a London November
night sweeping mournfully around his
little home in Westminster, T. P.
O'Connor lay unconscious tonight al
most under the shadows of the Parlia-
ment buildings where he is an almost
legendary figure, and yet familiar one.
A septic condition in one of "Tay
Pays" legs has kept him in bed for
10 days and his condition caused his
doctors grave anxiety.
The father of the House of Com
mons,'' who Is the father of Fleet
street" as well, seemed to be near the
end of his remarkable journalistic and
political career.
His health has gradually failed dur
ing recent months and his public ap-
pearances have been rare. Despite his
81 years. however, he has taken his
pinch of snuff regularly and talked of
the stormy political days of by-gone
generations with those who called on
him.
He insisted on remaining in harness
and wrote his regular weekly column
Of "reminiscences FOR publication in the
London Sunday Times tomorrow.
A short while before midnight Mr.
O'Connor was still unable to recognize
those around him. He was very weak
and seemed to be sinking.

NETS GROWERS
GOOD RETURNS
Idaho Establishes Record in
Egg Production-In Industry
Growing in Both States
Prospects Better.

Fifty million eggs were export
ed from Idaho during the past
year, according to reports just
made public. This is by far the
largest production the state has
ever enjoyed and is only the ex-
port end. Including the home con-
sumption and the local shipments
to the Spokane territory, it is esti-
mated that over 4Oo,OO0,O00 eggs
were produced in the state last
year. This is the volume attained
after ten years of effort in build
ing it up.
Of the 391 solid carloads which
left the state the bulk of them
were shipped to the New York
markets. Net returns to the pro-
ducers Were about 26 cents per
dozen, a total of approximately
ST. 900, 900 for the carlot shipments.
These, however, were only frac-
tion of the total shipments, most
of the eggs leaving the state in
trucks or in mixed shipments.
Although market conditions could
be better in the Idaho territoryy
according to Prem Moore, state
poultry specialist, conditions gem
orally are excellent for poultry
raising in the Gem state and the
enterprise will continue to expend.
This report is similar to one
which could be made for the local
conditions, according to Robert
Mackie, of the Columbia Valley
Produce Co., except for the fact
that in this section we are better
situated for profitable poultry
production than the Idaho farmers.
With equal climatic advantages,
we have the decided advantage of
a much larger and nearer market.
Eight or nine hours from Seattle,
Portland and che Spokane mar
a1ets, Mr.. Mackie pointed out, gives
the egg producers of this section
a slightly higher net return for
their product. While the indus
try has experienced a satisfactory
growth, generally speaking, in the
past year, it is thought that this
year will see a substantial in
crease.

But the Washington Tax Com
mission is not yet ready to rec
ommend the excise tax, for three
reasons; In the first place, since
the Constitution does not permit
classification of property, it is not
certain that the Legislature can
enact such tax. Secondly, is is
feared that the excise tax would
cause many corporations to disin-
corporate to escape the tax. Final
ly, there is the question of what
constitutes income in the case Of
