Senator Oliver hna been en deavoring to aecure the farrage of cer tain bills In the legislature to fur ther Ma own Interesta and the Inter ests of private clients for whom he h.n appeared In I'nion County In a land case. !r. Cochran declares that a tract of 1.000 acres in I'nion County, which for merly waa the property of John Mor rison, should escheat to the state be cause there are no proper heirs. Ho also alleges that Oliver was connected with putative heirs in securing the property for them. The property is valued at practically I.-0.0O0. says Cochran. He declares that .Morrison was the natural son of Wli- lUm Morrison and Kalhcrlne France, of S'-otiand. -Morrison came to Ohio In the So s. Iatr going to California and then coming to I'nion County, Oregon, where he gradually obtained the large acre age. Mother Found Dead. Soma time ago he died. I'ndcr the law of Oregon the property of an Il legitimate son must revert to the moth er and t ochrnn says that a search was Instituted which finally located the mother in New Zealand, but she w.is dead, when eventually traced.

Mulkey, ex-l'nlted States Senator, president o the Taxpayers' League, made a strong appeal for the favorable consideration by the committee of the resolutions. He made an extended argument, in which be exploded the fallacy of the single-tax propaganda. I "Ken followed and sought to con vinre the committee that the proposed amendments were not demanded by the people and should not be submitted to a vote. In defense of his position, he said the same questions were passed on by the voters In the last general election, lie asserted that the people at that time voted on the questions with a thorough understanding of their provisions and effect If adopted. He waa equally emphatic In denying; that any deception waa resorted to In sub mitting the amendment through which an entering wedge to single tax In this atate was supplied. While the House has not been polled expressions from Individual members show that the report of the resolutions committee tomorrow undoubtedly will be adopted aad the constitutions amendments submitted to the voters of tbe atate In November. 11.
