The decrease Is attributed to tho greater number of automobiles in use und to tho operation of Jitney busses In 1915. Another Interesting fnt-t brought out In statistics recently eomiil'ed by the bureau Is that during every day of the past year an nverngo of 12(i.GS9 safety car stops were made, whether 'passen gors wcro to bo taken on or discharged or not.

I HE TAX IS COLLECTIONS AT tOURCE AND EXTRA DIVIDEND TAX ARE APPROVED BY TRIBUNAL. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 Tbe su prenm court loduy upheld the validity of the section of the Income lax la dealing with collections at tbe source and extra dividend tuxes accruing to coriMirutlon owned slot k lu other cor porations. The sections In question were at Uked by Frank 11. I'.runhabcr. a stock holder of the I'nlon Pacific railrosd. The ruling held that the sixteenth amendment to the constitution In no way Invalidated any part of the In come tax luw. The decision was rendered by Chief Jiutlce While, who pointed out the greut powers of legislative bodies to levy taxes. Of course," he said, "It Is super fleoiiB to say '.hat orgument about the expediency of such taxe or the eco nomic mistake or wrons Involved in their Imposition la beyond Judicial cognizance." In answer to the objections that the law violates the constitutional provi sion for proportioning taxes among the states, according to population, be said: 'Their want of legal merit Is apparent, since It la settled that tbe clause exacts only geographical uni formity, and there is not a semblance of ground for assuming that violation of such uniformity is complained of. "As fur as the due process of law clause of the fifth amendment to tbe constitution Is relied upon, it suffices to say that there la no basis for such reliance," he continued, "since It Is equally settled that such clause Is not a limitation upon tbe taxing power conferred upon congress by the con stitution. "It Is not true, as Insisted on, that although there Is no express legisla tions! provision prohibiting it. the pro gressive feature of the tax causes It to transcend the conception of all lax- I atlon and become a mere arbitrary I abuse of power which must be treated ! as wanting In due process of law." I After hearing of the income tax de- iclsion, congressional leader said that Seventies from this form of taxation will be used to furnish most of tbe money needed for the preparedness program. They Intend to. raise sev eral times the present $S0.0O0,000 from such taxes. RECEIVES $1,918 DISTRIBUTION OF MONEYS FROM FOREST RESERVES IN STATE IS MADE. Clackamas county will receive $1, 97S.52 from the federal government, this county's share of the money raised from forest reserve rentals, sale of timber and other forest reserve sources for the year ending June 30, 1915. The total amount, $49,675.83, -was appor tioned among the counties of the state In proportion to the forest area with in each county. The money Is to be divided equally between the school and road funds. Practically every county In the state benefits by this division of forest -re-servo money. Clackamas county con tains 52S.127 acres of forest reserve. In transmitting the schedule of Na tional forest areas the acting forester says that the schedule has been com puted on a different basis from those previously furnished, since it includes only actual national forest lands exclu sive of alienated lands. Tbe former schedules were based on gross areas. According to the figures submitted by the federal officials, Oregon's total forest reserve area Ib 13,259,992 acres. Grant county, with a forest reserve area of 1,3S0I57 acres, leads all other counties and thus receives the largest share of the money, apportioned, amounting to $5171.60.

In get ting out of the window Clark pried the bars apart and crawled through. OF ALL NATIONS UA ALONE IS AID FROM OTHER POWERS IN RE SISTING ENCROACHMENT It CONSIDERED UNLIKELY.

Awaiting confirmation from official sources a a necesimry preliminary to any actlo.i by the United Slatca, atate department official were Interested todoy In a report from london that the Japatm.i government hat revived all of the de mands on China Included in the fi mou "group five" of the list of pro posals submitted to the Pckln govern ment more than a year ago for a per manent settlement of outstanding Is sues between Jupan and China. There 1 a conviction in official cir cles here that any action at thl time likely to have result to warding off tho new Japanese demand must taken by the I'nlted State practically alone. Wlt'a every evidence oi sympathetic Interest by the European entente al lies In the attitude of opposition which the United State took when the pro posals on the "group Ave' originally were submitted, it I believed none or these powers will he Inclined to take issue with Japan at a moment when they are leaning heavily on their Ori ental ally, not only for munitions of war. but for military and naval protec Hon of their Interest in the Orient The close study that has been nrndo In Washington of the proposal em bodied In "group five" has on'y con firmed officials in their original btllef that if at-epted In full by China, with out protest from other nations, they would lead not only to material and i Industrial, but even dolitical domina tion of China by Japan. While not prepared to make sn is sue on that pclnl, however, the Unto department Is convinced the other t re vision of "group five" finally would close to American commerce and en terprise the open door In China. ' Ic Is gathered from the Dritish news paper advices that in addition to re vising the demands In "group five," as they stood at the close of the negotia tions ip Pektn last January, tha Ju; anese proposals again include a pro vision aimed at a budding American enterprise in Fuklen province, and a proposul to police all of the large Chi nese cities with Japanese.
