Annexa tion of Lents may be voted on at the next general election. The subject is being discTissed by residents east of Grays Crossing, the present city limits, and the general sentiment favors annexa tion to Portland. There has been discus eion of the advisability of forming a corporation, but this movement has few supporters. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, It la rumored, may in crease the fare to Lents to 10 cents in stead of 5 centa as at present, and this possibility has caused coniderable alarm. That the fare increase may be made has ntimulated agitation for annexation throughout the district. Petitions for an nexation will be prepared in time for the November election.

FARMERS NOT EXCEPTED GOOD ROADS IS TOPIC EX-COUNTY JUDGE WEBSTER ADRESSES GRANGE. State Highway Commission Advocat ed, Employment of Prisoners Urged Plan Explained. In an address Saturday night before the Woodlawn Grange, Patrons of Hus bandry. Lionel Webster, ex-County Judge, of the- Oregon Good Roads Association, declared that the purpose of. the asso ciation Is to establish a uniform system of, roads In Oregon and build them that they may be used the year round and kept in repair for all time at small ex pense. He- said that in most counties of Oregon this cannot be done owing to the financial burden such a policy would put on the taxpayers. The Good Roads As sociation, he said, had adopted a plan by which even the weakeiy'counties may build permanent roads and be- allowed time to meet the expense. Mr. Webster advocated the appointment of a State Road Commission, and pointed out" that such a Commission would be necessary under the- system proposed which contemplates that the state shall pay one-third of the cost of building central roads. The side or connecting roads, he said, would be built by the counties. He also emphasized the ad vantage of employing prisoners in road construction by furnishing cheap labor to the various counties at a small cost. The employment of city prisoners was also discussed. Judge Webster said that prisoners could be apportioned to sev eral counties in camps of 50 and material for roads provided. "To secure good roads," said Mr. Web ster. "we must either go to the Legisla ture or go to the people by initiative measures. We have not decided what course will be taken. Both plans have advantages. We may not get all we want, but we can at least get some thing. Of course, much of the work de pends on the counties bejmr authorized to issue bonds to build roads. we must have money for road construction. Mean while a campaign of education will be carried on all over the state. We shall organize a' branch Good Roads Associa tion in every county, as a chain of or ganizations for educational work. We want the women of Oregon to help lis If we can get their assistance it spells success for what they say must be done." At the conclusion of his address the speaker answered questions on the good road system planned. He announced that the Good Roads Association is preparing a booklet setting forth in detail the plan that have been adopted, for the In formation of every voter in the state. Real Motive Is to Remove Defense in Suits for Personal Injuries. Safeguarding of Machin ery Already Provided. Active opposition to the proposed em- ployers liability law, which will be submitted under the Initiative at the November Section, is developing among employers of labor throughout the state. Opponents of the measure not only denounce it as extreme in Its pro visions, but assert that. If enacted, the law will increase the liability of the employers In this state greatly in ex cess .of those engaged in similar lines irf adjoining states. The bill is being proposed by the State Federation of Labor and the Grange. Initiative peti tions are Bow being circulated for sig natures, by which' the measure can be placed on the official ballot next Fall. This proposed law vitally concerns the employers of this state," said Paul C. Bates, of the Arm of McCargar, Bates & Lively, general agents in this city for the Etna Life Insurance Com pany, In discussing the subject, yes- erday. "Like most measures of this kind, some of its provisions are not objectionable, but there are several dangerous provisions from an employ er's standpoint. Bid Made for Grange Vote. "In the first place the bill is adroitly drawn. It is so drafted as to make clever bid for the farmer's vote by excepting from its provisions the con struction of private dwelling-houses, barns and other domestic buildings. But this is simply a transparent make- AUTO RUNS OVER WOMAN Mrs. Sagazan Turns Back When Crossing Street Injury Slight. When crossing Grand avenue at the corner of East Morrison street yester day afternoon Mrs. Anna Sagazan, of 1' Grand avenue was struck toy a passing automobile a'nd knocked down. The front wheels of the machine, which was driven by P. Politysch, of 305 North Sixth street, passed over her body, but aside from stunning her and inflicting some severe bruises did no other injury. Witnesses said that Mrs. Sagazan had crossed in front of the approaching auto mobile when someone called to her an she started back, getting directly in front of the machine, which was proceedin slowlv. She was too close for the drive to stop or swerve the car and the front wheels passed over her, although the car was brought to a stop before the rear wheels had reached the prostrate body. Patrolman Bunn placed Mrs. Sagaza in the automobile and she was driven to her home. Dr. A. W. Moore found tha no bones were broken but that she had been badly bruised. The automobile was owned by G. S. Smith, who was also an occupant. Your tongue Is coated. Your breath is foul. Headaches come and go. These symptoms show that vou stomach is the trouble.

Edgeworth Sliced Tobacco. ' shift to prevent the voter from seeing that there are other liabilities provided to which the farmer will be just as amenable as other employers, particu larly in view of the general use of so many machines and mechanical appli ances in agricultural pursuits through out the country. "That part of the bill which, covers the safeguarding of machinery is not objectionable, perhaps, but it already is provided for in the factory inspec tion law. which was enacted by the state Legislature three years ago. The real motive of the proposed measure is to remove entirely the defense of the employer in all suits for death and personal Injuries by employes. If the bill is enacted-the right is denied the employer to uige. as a defense in these actions contributory negligence or the negligence of fellow-employes. The bill goes still farther and removes the limit of damages for which suit may be brought for the death of an em ploye. Public Pays In End. "I regard the bill a particularly dan gerous one, which should be opposed earnestly by every employer in the state that it may be defeated In the November election. It is true that I am engaged in liability insurance business and it is not out of the way to consider the effect' of such a law from the standpoint of an insurance man. The enactment of the law will materially increase the responsibility of employers. In proportion as that responsibility increases, the cost of insurance may be expected to advance. The final result will be that the in creased cost of the increased, risk will fall on the general public. "If the proposed bill is enacted into a law. it will impose on the employers of this state greater responsibility than is carried by employers in any other state in the United States. Considera tion of this measure naturally suggests thi question: Can the people of Ore gon by the proposed enactment of this law afford to saddle on employers lia bility far in excess of that of employ ers In the same line of business in ad joining states and with whom they are constantly in competition?"
