TO ADOPT BUDGET SYSTEM Suffrage Convention to Attack ( Financial Side of Ob taining Ballot. PROGRESS IS EMPHASIZED .Members Note That 3,600,000 ot Sex Ilnve Been Enfranchised Since Susan B. Anthony Be gan Ifer Work In 1869. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. To convince members of Congress and the people that woman suffrage has passed the stage of academic discussion and be come a live political Issue, is one of the most important thingrs that the wo men hope to accomplish by the National suffrage convention which will be held here from November 29 to December 6. A Constitutional amendment granting the vote to the women of the United States is asked. As a first step toward success fhey have considerable hopes of obtaining; a committee of the House on woman suffrage. Chairman Henry, of the House com mittee on rules, has announced that a continuous hearing on the question will be held before his committee beginning Tuesday, December 3, and lasting as. long; as anyone has anything; to say on cither side. Money Question Important. Next to the' establishment of the com mittee the burning; question before the convention is how to raise enough money to carry on Its work. The de mands on the National organization are increasing; rapidly, and it is hoped at this gathering to put it on a sound financial basis. The women hope to accomplish this by means of a new con stitution which a committee, of which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt is chairman, . has been working for some months. They will provide for an annual budget, and the convention will be held finan cially responsible for this budget, while every member of the association will be assessed 10 cents a year, instead of each small association's paying a cer tain sum. This is the 45th National convention which has been held in the interests of woman suffrage, and one thing that the women will emphasize is the prog- rocs which those' 45 years have shown. They will recall the first appeal made to Congress for votes for women in 1869 by Susan B. Anthony, who con tinued to address committees of every Congress from that year until 1906. Question Becomes Practical. They will point out that since Susan E. Anthony began her work, 3,600,000 women have become qualified to vote ' for Presidential electors, while women are already voting in the states that elect one-fifth of the Senate and one seventh of the House. During the past year there were five suffrage victories in Oregon, Kansas, Arizona, Alaska and Illinois. With so many women enfranchised the suffrage question is becoming a highly practical one, especially for Rep resentatives and Senators. Those from equal suffrage states either become quickly converted to the cause or else speak of the subject with the utmost care. It is not longer a question only of abstract justice, but a factor in the political game. The suffrage leaders contend that de velopments in the last-year show that their hopes for a constitutional amend ment are well .founded. They declare that the adoption of the income tax and the direct election of Senators amendments .which are the 16th and 17th, respectively show that the de mand for change nas been aroused and they are almost confident that the 18th amendment will be theirs. In addition to. urging a constitutional amendment, the suffragists believe that they will accomplish more in the states by their work in Washington than in any other way. They intend to or. Kranize by Congressional districts, there by bringing pressure to bear on each member of his own district, which will heii toward obtaining amendments to state constitutions as well as in the fight for a Federal amendment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. The Inter state Commerce Commission .will begin tomorrow a hearing on the proposed freight rate Increases of approximately per cent fllel October 15 last by railroads in the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Actually every railroad in the coun try is concerned, for should the com mission permit the roads applying to increase rates, the same authority would he extended to bther carriers to increase rates on all classes of freight. The railroads asked two years ago for an Increase of about 10 per cent. After an Inquiry the commission re fused the request. When the tariffs providing for the present proposed in creases were filed, to become effec tive November. 16, they were suspended by the commission, pending investiga tion until March 13, 1914. Inquiry Ordered Last Jane, In May, 1913, the railroads Involved filed a petition for a rehearing of the former irelght rate case, and the com mission on June 21 last Issued an order directing that Inquiry be instituted as to whether the present rates of transportation yield adequate revenues to common carriers by railroads op erating in official classification terri tory and If not with the general course carriers might pursue to meet the situation. It was ordered opportunity be afforded to interested carriers and the public generally to present facts and arguments as they might desire. Railways to Present Argomnta.

A state home for the treatment of inebriates whoBe cases are not hope less, an industrial home for offenders who are not vicious, but cannot safely be paroled, the establishment of a morals court for trying violations of moral laws and the rrgid quarantine of communicative diseases were recom mended by Municipal Judge Stevenson in his lecture on "The Courts and Criminals" at the First Unitarian Church, Seventh and Yamhill streets, last night. Alter tracing tne cnanges maae in dealing with old offenders and youths Judge Stevenson dwelt briefly on the causes of crime, attributing " an enor mous percentage of offenses either di rectly or indirectly to the use of in toxicating liquors, environment and impulse. "I am not speaking of the hardened. Inveterate criminal," he said. "I love to repeat the old saying that 'Men are but boys grown up.' I like to look upon most crimes as mistakes." A parole bureau In connection with each of the state reformatories was an other change advocated. Men released on parole, he said, were too often thrown back into their old habits through the neglect of the state. A bureau to find employment for them and exercise a certain amount of su pervision over their actions, he thought, would keep many of these unfortunates In the path of rectitude. The Municipal Court, he said, was to tally inadequate to deal with these cases properly. Having only a jail and a rockplle as reformatories the court could only sentence or dismiss; GOOD ARGUMENTS GIVEN PLEAS FOR OREGON INDUSTRIES PROVE TO BE EXCELLENT. Principal Reason Cited In Oregontan Contest Is Bayers Indirectly Receive Dividends. Hosts of excellent reasons are being given for loyalty to home industries by the contestants in The Oregonian essay contest. The principal argument advanced is . that, all things being equal, Oregonians should buy Oregon made goods because by so doing they not only get the worth of their money, but actual, even if indirect, dividends in the wsy of Increased property valua tions and greater general prosperity for the state. This contest, which will be repeated every month for a year, is open to all boys and girls of Oregon less than 16 years old.

BREWERY MAY CLOSE "DRY" VICTORIES THREATEN BUSI NESS OF MOUNT HOOD PLANT. Capacity Output Not Required for Two Tears and Officers Contemplate Going to California. Because the Sellwood precinct in which it is situated went "dry" at the last election it is probable that the Mount Hood brewery will be closed down, says Paul Wesslnger, head of the "Weinhard brewery, which owns more than 50 per cent of the stock of the Mount Hood concern. The output of the Mount Hood plant is 20,000 barrels a year and that of the Weinhard plant is 125,000. If the plant of the Mount Hood Company is closed down as many of the workmen as pos sible will be given employment at the Weinhard plant, said Mr. Wesslnger. The Mount Hood plant has been un der the control of the Weinhard estate since a majority of the stock was ac quired about a year ago. It employs 24 men now, and when running at ca pacity employs several more. Neither the Mount Hood nor the Weinhard brewery has been running at its ca pacity for some time. If carried out the contemplated change cannot be put into operation for probably three months, said Mr. Wesslnger. Besides the brewing and malting plants, which are at East Ninth and Marion streets, the Mount Hood Company maintains a cold stor age plant at the east approach of the Hawthorne bridge. "We have orders anead for three or four months and must run to fill them. At the conclusion of these contracts, however, it is likely that the plant will be closed. I myself intend to re move my family to Southern California, probably to an Diego, and other offi cers of the company are intending sim ilar action," said Henry Meister, presi dent of the brewery.

Mrs. Katherlne Kelly, school inspec tor for the State Board of Health, re ported In person to Health Officer White yesterday on an inspection of the rural schools of Jackson, Josephine and Douglas counties, to which she had de voted three weeks. She had a lamenta ble report to "make of the majority of the rural schools, but her tour was not without its bright spots, conspicuous among which was a certain little moun tain Bchool In Josephine County, which Is taught by a young girl, a Miss Bretherton. who was a graduate from the Washington High School, of Port land, last year. She said it was the cleanest schoolhouse and the children were the cleanest of 60 schools which she had Inspected in the three counties. In some of these, according to the Health Board Inspector, both buildings and teachers were in an Insanitary condition and numbers of the children were so disfigured with impetigo as Most any retailer will now by thafs lilted everywhere that benefits everyone that's constant delicious and inexpensive aid to teeth. breath, appetite and digestion is now selling for less than a cent a stick by the box! Take it home tonight! ezeez is causing scarcely to be recognisable. She Bald that in many of these schools the toilets and outhouses were reeking with filth and there was no evidence that they had been cleaned in years. In most of them the drinking water was contained in a bucket and healthy and unhealthy children alike dipped into this and drank from the same dirty cup. ' Probably the worst school which was inspected by Mrs. Kelly was the Look ing Glass School, in Douglas County. She.sald it is a good new building and the classes are taught by two sisters. The windows are filthy and the en trance Is foul with mud and other filth, said Mrs. Kelly. There were three cases of impetigo in the school. Altogether the Inspector found only two or three of the 60 schools in first class sanitary condition. After three more days of work this month in Clackamas and Marion coun ties Mrs.. Kelly will take up her work in Eastern Oregon. CITY BONDS IN FAVOR GEORGE E. KEELER, OF4 DENVER, CREDITS INCOME TAX. County Inane For Interstate Bridge Is Attracting Attention, But Willi Go Below Par, Is Opinion. Municipal bonds rapidly are gaining in favor among investors of all classes, says George E. Keeler, of Keeler Bros., the bond house of Denver, who is in Portland on business for a few davs. "I look for a marked improvement in the municipal market as soon as the income tax gets to working," said Mr. Keeler. "The fact that the Income tax will be levied against industrial bonds will make municipals more desirable. Many Investors probably will dispose of their Industrials to re-Invest in mu nicipals." The term "municipals" as used -by Mr. Keeler covers all classes of civil bonds municipal, county, state, and school district bonds. Money Is bringing 6 per cent straight in the East and about 5Va per cent In the West, says Keeler. The market lu the West is becoming easier, while that in the East Is maintaining the higher level. "The siutatlon now is about the same as it was six months ago, he ex plained, "There was a little flurry in the early part of September, but there has been a reaction since then. "All financial men look for a marked Improvement about the first of the year. As soon as the effects of the in come tax can be met and as soon the currency bill Is passed, I look for business generally to Improve." Mr. Keeler says that bond buyers are making a careful study now of the 250.000 issue recently authorized by Multnomah County for building the in terstate bridge across the Columbia River. Re predicts thwt these bonds will find ready sale, b"uT" because they will bear only 4V4 per cent interest, they will not bring par. Oddfellows Attend Lctare. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nor. S3.
