Witnesses Dclar Car Was Going at lligh Speed When Acci dent Occurred. M'ARTHUR ADVOCATE IS 1 Oltt "The time' has come when the American people should apply busi ness methods to law-making; legis lation should ba for the Interests of the country and not with an eye to the next elections," declared Repre sentative C. N. McArthur. speaking before the Rotary club luncheon at the Benson hotel yesterday. The growth of the power of the federal government since the begin ning of the nation's history was re counted by the congressman to em phasize his points on needed changes in federal control, especially In the management of the financial end of the government. Seven Bodice Spending;. "At the present time we have seven committees In congress all busily en gaged in appropriating money." he declared. . "There is a committee on military, naval, foreign, postoffice, rivers and harbors and Indian appro priations. All or these should be grouped under one committee who should be responsible to the people. This would do away with some of the faults of the present system." McArthur declared himself In favor of the national budget act which was passed by both houses and vetoed by the president because of Its claimed unconstitutionality. After the Ob jectionable feature had been changed -it was re-passed in the house, but killed In the senate by a filibuster at the close of the last session. Under the budget system, said the repre sentative, the power to appropriate would be more centralized and money matters would be handled in a more scientific and cautious way. Further more, he said, under the present sys tem there is a great overlapping of expenditures. He told of a survey being carried out in Arizona by two different departments at the same time, covering the identical ground. This would be impossible under the budget system, he declared, and the government would thereby save mil lions of dollars In similar instances. Four-Year Terms Advocated. The election of members of con gress at the same time as the presi dent and for a four-year period was advocated. He charged defects of the present system whereby the president is often of one party while the party in power in congress may be of the other. In this way the party Is not made responsible to the people for their legislation, he said. "During the short session following elections there are often defeated candidates on appropriation com mittees. They don't care whether school keeps or not," declared Mc Arthur, in advocating longer regular sessions of congress Instead of the (-pedal sessions called by the presi dent. He declared himself to be in favor of a regular session to be?in I early in the year and continuing ! throughout the year with the excep tion of a short summer recess during the hot weather. Honxe Too Large, He Says. The difficulty faced by the western states in attempted legislation be cause of their small representation was recounted. The house of repre sentatives is far too large and un wieldy, he alleged. Three hundred members Instead of about 435 is suffi cient, he said. "With the house the size that it is at present there is too much passing the buck." he declared. "Last year when I was trying to get some action on matters affecting soldiers from this state I was referred from one committee or otiiclal to another, until I had seen eix in all, finally coming back, like a good surveyor, to the point I had started from." Other speakers at the luncheon were Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, nationally-known historical writer, and Estes Shedecor, international presi dent of the Rotary clubs. Dr. Hart, v. ho is professor of American history at Harvard university, is on his way home after a trip to Honolulu. He is accompanied by Mrs. Hart.

"The Sua. Wolf," continues to draw good crowds at the Liberty theater, where it is being shown for a week's run. The .story deals with Nietzsche's philosophy of the super man, and has attracted large houses wherever It has been shown.' The feminine lead is taken by Mabel Julienne Scott, who takes the role of Maude Brewster. So dis gusted 'does she become with the whims of aristocracy that she caets off her fiance, Humphrey Weyden, declaring she will not marry except it be to a superman. Tom Forman Plays the part of the rejected lover with all the skill that long ago estab lished him as a leading man, and the manner and methods he adopts to win the approval of the girl by as serting his manhood including hard ships and fights, furnish thrills galore. The portrayal of Wolf Lar sen by Noah Beery is above the aver age and has elicited much, favorable comment. his little production 'would receive with the Cudahy children in the cast and loet no time in making the hand some offer of $7 a day, lunch not included. The London Times pays high trib ute to John Barrymore's work in "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde." the Paramount picture shown to the British, trade recently by the Famous-Lasky Film bervice. Ltd.. according to informa tion received by E. E. Shauer of the foreign department of the Famous Players-Lesky corporation. In its re view the Times has the following to say aDout the picture: "We have often felt that The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde' would make a better film than a play, and after seeing the Amer lean production based on Robert Louia Stevenson's story we are more than ever convinced of the correct ness of our belief. It is one of those performances (John Barrymore's act ing) which show that, if the actor realizes the possibilities, the screen can be quite as effective a medium for remarkable acting as the stage. The policy of surrounding stars with casts of consistent and balanced excellence and providing productions with perfectly appointed settings is to be demonstrated emphatically in "You Never Can Tell." the Initial starring vehicle for Bebe Daniels. Jack Mulhall haa been chosen as the first leading man for "The Good Little Bad Girl." a name given Miss Daniels to fit a style of role she will interpret. He is an actor of much ex perience. having played as leading man for many of the country's screen stars and as a featured player in number of special productions. Screen Gossip. 'Youthful Folly" will open todav at the Peoples theater. It is an Olive Thomas starring vehicle, and painte the story of a little southern girl who was married by a wealthy New York clubman only as protec tion for him in his affair with the girl's married cousin. The plot cen ters about the young bride's attempts to solve the difficult position in which she finds herself and still re tain her right to happiness. "Montana Bob" himself Is appearing at the Star theater this week. He has with him three other cowboys, and together they put on a lariat throwing exhibition. "Montana Bob" owns a large ranch near Kalispel. Mont., it is caid. "In Montana and Wyoming he has done duty as a dep uty sheriff and in doing so estab lished a record for fearlessness. The plcture at the Star this week wae taken on his ranch. The casting director of a small Los Angeles studio furnished the film colony the best laugh of the season when he telephoned Jack Cudahy of me tamous lamny or packers and offered J7 a day for the services of Master Michael and Misa Anne uudanjr ror a motion picture. w hen Monroe Salisbury started The Barbarian." his first lndepend ent produced feature, he Prevailed upon Mr. and Mrs. Cudahy to let the two Deautnul children appear in sev eral of the big scenes. Because of the personal friendship existing be tween me star proaucer and the Cud ahy family the request was granted. Reading that the children of the iiiniiunaiie itfinwy were to aDnear with Mr. Salisbury, the small pro ducer visualized the advertising that Joe Schenck, general manager of Loew, Inc., and producer of the Norma Talmadge picture, released through First National, has joined hands with Albert A. Kaufman in the production of feature pictures. This fact was disclosed this week through announcement made by Mr. Schenck. Early' In the week First National announced that "negotiations between Joseph M. Schenck and Associated First National Pictures. Inc., ter minated in the signing of a contract whereby Allen Holubar will direct th most pretentious and ambitious pic ture of his career." Publication o this announcement resulted in th circulation of a report that Holuba had broken away from Kaufman with whom he was officially reported as having signed several weeks ago. Mr. Schenck spiked this rumor by announcing that he had become partner of Mr. Kaufman. The forme further explained that his agreement with Kaufman provides that h (Schenck) secure a distribution con tract. Mr. Schenck has fulfilled thi agreement by placing the Holubar pictures with First National. Mr. Schenck said alo that he also a partner with Kaufman in the Sidney Franklin production enter prises. Negotiations are now unde way for the distribution of the Frank lln productions.

Boy's Father Aids Search. The police were advised thatthe man went to his home, t ftonn Twentieth street, following the accl dert, secured his clothing and then disappeared. The boy's father was co-operating with the police yester day in an effort to apprehend the missing driver and it was tnougni ast night that he would soon be lo cated. A number of witnesses told the police yesterday that the driver of the stage was going from 35 to 40 mile3 an hour, and others declared he exhibited inability to handle the ma chine. Joe Mathlson, S60 Tillamook street, one of the passengers in the machine at the time, estimated the speed at the time of the accident as being 35 miles an hour. Mathlson re ceived bruises, but was not seriously hurt. S. W.

Injured Heating Well. J. H. Hammer of Gresham also ex pressed the belief that the driver did not know how to handle the machine Investigator Freiberg announced. Invesigator Freiberg said yesterday that the least which Boettipher could be charged with, would be failure to render assistance. He said that if investigation should warrant, other and more serious charges would be filed againBt him. Boettipher is said to have worked as a bell hop at the Alder hotel pre vious to taking up the work of driv ing the stage to Hlllsboro.

SALEM, Or., July 13. (Special.) Refusal of state officials to admit a the home for the weak-minded within the next week of an alleged mentally defective person now held in the county Jail at Coqullle, Coos county, will mean that the authorities of the latter county will employ a guard and deliver him to the state institution without legal acceptance, according to a letter written by C. R. Wade, county judge of Coos county. The letter was read at a meeting of the state board of control here today. In another letter received from Judtre Wade was a claim for $486 leged to be due Coos county for the care of William rsozler prior to hi transfer to the home for the feeble minded, where he died recently. No action was taken relative to thi claim, but individual members of th board expressed the belief that should be presented to the legislature at its next session. It was explained by members of th board that the delay in committing Nozler to the home was due to lack of accommodations. The same was said to be true in the case of the. per on now in Jail In Coos county, and the board made it plain that if th latter charge was brought to the in stitution without being legally ac cepted the authorities ordering hi: removal here would be hld responsl ble for their action. The state law makes it plain that it is not incum bent upon the state to receive charges at the home for the feeble-minded unless there are accommodations for their care. W. S.

"While it Is true that the carriers have not been able to handle all of the traffic offered them, the grow ing belief that the transportation systems have broken down, since re lease from federal control, is entire ly unfounded." declared W. D. Skin ner, traffic manager for the Spokane, Portland & Seattle lines. Mr. Skinner thinks, that consider ing the depreciation in plant and equipment of the carriers during the period of federal control, together with present labor conditions, all available figures showing the volume of business conducted by the carriers since their release by the government reflect very favorably on the effi ciency of individual operation. The following iigures snowing loaded cars handled on' the Spokane, Portland & Seattle lines were sub mitted by Mr. Skinner: May 1. 1920, 10.839 cars: May. 1919, 8927 cars an Increase of 1912 cars or 21.4 per cent. June. 1920, 10.60o cars; June 1919, 9588 cars, an Increase of 1019 cars or 10.6 per cent. July 1 - to 7 inclusive, 1920. 2125 cars; same period in 1919. 1875 cars, an Increase of 2a0 or 13.3 per cent. With the enormous volume of busi ness offered, and the many disad vantages under which the transporta tion system is struggling. Mr. Skinner asserts that it is not to be wondered at that mistakes are made, and some delays in transit occur, but believes that if the public were fully Informed of the actual performance of the car riers there would be less criticism. 2 NEW PROJECTS PLANNED Highway Will Give Ranchers and Loggers Access to Markets.
