ROUSED IN POLITICS 1 -.3 'j . i Y JUDGE McCAMANT TALKS Dotr Walker Also Speaks Republican Club Men Women Turn Out. Before and A LEANT, Or., March 27. (Special.) Judge Wallace McCaraant of Port land delivered a splendid address be fore the recently organized Albany .Republican club here last evening in the first political meeting of the year in Albany. Dow V. Walker of Port land also spoke at the meeting In the interest of the presidential candidacy cf General Leonard Wood, whose cam paign he is managing In Oregon. Senator K. I. Cusick, president of the club, presided and introduced the speakers. The meeting was held In the circuit court room of the Linn county court house and there was a large attend ance. If last night's meeting is any criterion there, will be plenty of in terest in the campaign here this year. During the last few years political meetings In Albany have not aroused much Interest and attendance has been small, but at last evening's meet ing many people, both men and women, were present and there was considerable enthusiasm. Address la Kajoyrd. In an address which the audience 5 thoroughly enjoyed, and which was frequently 'applauded. Judge Mc- J Camant portrayed the incompetency 1 of the administration during the war. Quoting tacts and figures, he said ' that not only was the country un ? prepared for war, but that it was not ' much better prepared, due to official ) ,Aungling, in many respects by the time the armistice was signed. He told of the waste of $48,000,000 in ' spruce production operations in Ore s' gon and gave examples of similar in- competency in other lines of work i because men unfamiliar with the lines . of work they were trying to handle were placed in important positions. The speaker aroused considerable merriment in telling of the award of distinguished service medals to many administration favorites who saw swivel chair service only, including General Dque. He told of the rapid promotions in the "army ot the Yeon" and said it reminded liiin of the couplet in Tinafore: "Just stay at home and never go to sea and some day you'll be ruler of the queen's navee." WilNon In Scored. Judso JloCamant said that President Wilson was in favor of self-determination of other peoples, but not the American people because he "wanted the representatives of the people in the senate to have no part in con sidering the treaty be brought back from Paris, but wanted it adopted without the dotting of an "i" or the crossing of a "t." He spoke of the president's obstinacy in many ways and commented upon his requirement of a rubber-stamp cabinet. Quoting from Mr. Wilson's speeches, he illus trated his inconsistency on matters affecting the war and before and after the war, dealing humorously with the- president's famous announcement that "politics is adjourned," followed in a few months by his demand for the election of a democratic congress. The speaker contrasted the course of President Lincoln in promptly get ting rid of an Incompetent secretary of war when the Civil war began and placing in office a man of an oppos ing party, with that of President Wil son, who, the speaker said, found i TJtnk tea pacifist on his bands as secretary of. war when the war be gan, but kept Dim because be was a rubber stamp and answered the Wil son test of loyalty to Wilson rather than competency. Judge WcCamant closed his address with a comparison of the course of opposition of the democrats, even In the north, to the civil war when their party was not in power and that of the republican party during the re cent war when its members were leaders in war work of all kinds though the president tried to make It strictly a partisan affair so far as of' Xicial positions were concerned. FIVE CENT EIRE TO STAY SEATTLE NOT TO MAKE RISE EXCEPT AT EAST KESOKT. Mayor Caldwell Sticks to Pre-elec tion Utterances; Economies Will Be Practiced. SEATTLE. Wash., March 27. (Spc cial.) Until all other means have been tried out to get the municipal street railway system out of debt and put it on a paying basis, the 5-cent fare should continue and it should only be raised as a last re sort. This attitude wu expressed by Mayor Caldwell and D. W. Henderson, new general superintendent of rail ways, in speaking before several hun dred persons at the chamber of com merce. "I am not satisfied that the rais ing of the fare presents the solution of our street railway troubles," said Mayor Caldwell. "That has been tried elsewhere and Increased fare have not always resulted in increased rev enue. We must first consider -economies. This administration has cut off 36.000 from the transit system payroll and that means a lot of nick els. We have also laid off 12 aliens at one of the hops. By strict man agement and no attempt to do any thing but run the system along eco- tiomiml, businesslike lines, certain other cuts or economies may be pos sible. "I had much to say about the street railway system before election and now I have nothing to retract. We find that between January 1 and my inauguration there were 21 cars junked and the equipment today con sists of some good, some Indifferent and some bad rolling Mock. The item of depreciation must be investigated and we must at the same time realize that some new equipment must be purchased." The abolishing of the transfer sys tem, except on certain lines which do not bring people into the business dis trict, may be one way to help avoid an increase In street carfares, said Mr. Henderson. ilr. Henderson commented on what he called a lack of harmony among ' the system's employes and said he would try and get interest- revived and would initiate a new accident prevention programme.

CHURCH ADOPTS BUDGET La Grande Presbyterians to Run on Busincs Basis. LA GRANDE. Or., Marcli 27. (Spe cial.) Following the suggestion made by their pastor. Rev. Jamoji A. Smith, the Presbyterian church has decided to do away with all church suppers, bazaars, cooked food sales and other means of raising money, and to run the church on a businesslike basis. As a forerunner to the new method of financing a religious institution, the trustees of the church met and made out a budget system and de cided that the best way to raise the j money necessary to carry on the work was by subscription among the mem bers. Accordingly, many of the mem bers have been asked to increase their weekly giving, and the trustees hope that when the total subscriptions are received the church may pay its bills each month, just as any business con cern does.
