SENATE RECORD IS PROOF
Extravagance as Legislator
Declared Unparalleled.
ORGY OF WASTE CHARGED
Standard-Bearer of Democracy
Fathers or Champions All
Measures for Plunder.
An insatiable craving to pile more
and more costs upon the taxpayer is
the distinguishing characteristic of
the legislative career of Walter M.
Pierce, democratic candidate for
governor.
Consider the state taxes of 1922.
They aggregate $9,376,289. Of these,
Mr. Pierce is responsible for J1.429,
128 through measures which he him
self Introduced and he specifically
approved of 8, 64,039 more by vot
ing for the measures which saddled
this sum upon the pocketbooks of
the people.
His record of tax-creating meas
ures which he personally sponsored,
and his avidity in offering his sup
port in the legislature for money
spending bills is unequaled by any
ether member of the law-making
body.
Record Shows Tax Orgy
Mr. Pierce, now complaining, for
campaign purposes, of the tax bur
den, and promising to cut it in half
which neither he nor any other
man can do has been the most ex
travagant legislator in the state
senate. Through his personal ef
forts, by fathering bills and backing
others with his vote, he has con
tributed more than any other indl
vidual in piling up the present
mountain of taxes.
Salary grabs, mlllage bills, appro
priations, market road ttH the con
tributing factors to 'th6 "tax total
received his hearty aid. Nor did Mr.
Fierce confine his tax-increasing la
bors to the state alone. He man
aged to saddle additional tax bur
dens on the counties. ,
Mr, Pierce Heads Plunderers.
Viewed in the cold light of the
history of legislative sessions in
which he participated, wherein is
set down the work of the members,
the course pursued by Mr. Fierce is
one of unparalleled desire to in
crease expenses for the property
owners to pay. As page after page
of state senate proceedings are
studied it becomes more apparent
that as a voter of taxes and creator
of new levies on the pocketbook, Mr.
Pierce has no rival. In vain is there
anything disclosed wherein Mr.
Fierce undertook to bring about a
reduction, to apply the brakes or
have mercy on the taxpayer.
In four sessions he has been a
member and voted for 61 measures
alike designed to increase taxes by
raising salaries or creating new sal
aried offices. These bills affect 185
individual offices, yet Mr. Pierce la
ments that the cost of county gov
ernment is too high!
Jiot Always Successful.
Fortunately for the people of Ore
gon, Mr. Pierce was not always suc
cessful. For example, in the 1917
session he introduced measures
which, if enacted into law, would
have made the 1918 taxes $1,400,000
more than they were.
One of Mr. Pierce's little forays
against the public was his attempt
to increase the 4 -mill road tax to
1M mills, which would have forced
taxpayers to dig up an extra
Jl.000,000.
Also be tried to have raised
$400,000 for a new penitentiary
building. By reorganization of the
penal institution the Olcott admln

NEW YORK. Oct. 14. La Lorraine,
"twin-screw beauty of the Atlantic"
in her firt years of service, after
22 years of service as a passenger
ship between Havre and New York,
sailed home today on her last
voyage.
During the war she was armed
and used as an auxiliary cruiser,
taking part in the Dardanelles expe
dition and afterward serving as an
army transport, taking soldiers
from the United States to France.
One of the memorable groups of
passengers carried during her ocean
career was the French delegation
brought here in 1917, which included
Marshal Joffre.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. 14.
(By the Associated press.) There
were intimations today in govern

plete withdrawal of American troops
from the Rhine was again under
consideration, but no decision was
expected for several days. No au

prompting renewed discussion of the
subject at this time was available,
nor would any responsible official
forecast what course would be
adopted.
The United States now has about
1000 officers and men in the occu

BY FERDINAND TUOHY.
' Vfll-known writer and correspondent,
member of the editorial staff of the
Paris bureau of tbe New York World.
MUNICH, Sept. 21. (Special.) It
occurred to me as I crossed the
Rhine that there were two ways of
judging Germany and the Germans.
One could either study industrial,
social and political conditions In the
fatherland, tempering the inquiry
with references to restaurant prices
and to the carefree, surface life, and
arrive at a paradox complete and
befogging,' or one. could, fasten on to
one dominant element or manifesta
tion in the life of the German state
and follow it up in the hope of a
starshell effect upon the remaining
German scene. Decision to prose
cute the latter - course was what
brought me . to the gate of General
Ludendorff s villa outside this. city.
What was the strength of the old
brigade, and what did they think of
things today? surely if one could
get that fair and square much else
might be clarified. -
Interview Hard to Get, '
However, it wa no easy matter
getting near Excellenz Erich von
Ludendorff, erstwhile Capablanca of
mighty legions and beaten brain of
the war. He is a marked man "the
one to go in return for Rathenau"
you will hear it said, and so devious
introductory paths have to be fol
lowed ere one is fortunate enough to
debouch at the charming Villa Lu
dendorff in the suburb of Wilhelms
hohe. ' More than one prominent Bavarian
to whom I applied for an introduc
tion replied that Ludendorff re
ceived none save intimate friends;
others professed to be but vaguely
cognizant of the ex-quartemaster-general'e
presence in their midst.
One detected a very clean "Luden
dorff atmosphere," however, in and
around Munich. At mention of Lu
dendorff's name officials, waiters,
shop people, taxi drivers invariably
pricked up their ears, then catching
my foreign, accent were mum. There
seemed to be almost a common and
tacit society in existence for the
protection of Ludendorff.
Excuses Are Offered.
Excuse after excuse was forth
coming for not giving me a intro
duction, the facts being that Luden
dorff doesn't encourage visitors of
any kind, because publicity is dis
tinctly not the breath of life to a
covert movement based on mining

Man y for Many Years Held
A ' From Femininity En-
ged to Mildred Stone.
' (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
, NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Mischa
Elman, world-famous virtuoso, who
for many years has held himself
aloof from femininity, has fallen at
last. He admitted it today at the
Hotel Ansonia, and added that his
fiancee is Mildred Stone, sister-in-law
of Kudolf Polk, the violinist.
"Misa Stone," he said, "is an Amer
ican girl, but please don't ask me
where she lives, because I want to
protect her from publicity. Yes,
she's in New York at present."
The artist met Miss Stone a year
ago at Lake Placid.
His engagement recalls his re
marks pertinent to women made
last June.
"I admit." he said at the time,
"that the modern woman, with her
cigarettes and her flasks, is dis
tasteful to me."
As even up to last month Elman
stoutly maintained his Indifference
to women, .the announcement of his
engagement aroused a storm of
comment in musical circles.

Letters to Other Prelates Asking
, for Hearing Published
In New York.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Bishop
William Montgomery Brown, for
merly bishop of Arkansas, who was
charged with heresy before the re
cent Episcopal general convention in
Portland, Or., made public today a
series of letters written by him- to
other bishops indicating that he will
not resign from the Episcopal house
of bishops and will enter a vigorous
defense if tried for heresy.
The charge against Bishop Brown
grew out of statements in his
pamphlet "Communism and Chris
tianity," wherein he did not accept
a literal Interpretation of the bibli
cal story of creation.
The letters made public by him
tqday represented him as offering
three alternatives to the other
bishops. He asked for an examina
tion as to his sanity by a board of
physicians, or a trial for heresy, or
dropping of the charge of heresy
against him.
In a letter dated October 13, ad
dressed to Bishop William T. Man
ning of New York, Bishop Brown
said:
"There probably is not, among ed
ucated people, one in a thousand
who literally accepts the basio rep
resentations of Mosaism concerning
the creation of man, or of Paullsm
concerning his redemption."
Bishop Brown in other letters also
set forth points he will make if
brought to trial.

Curtlss high-speed pursuit plane.
won the Pulitzer trophy aerial race
here today. He traveled the 15
mile course at an average speed of
206 miles an hour.
The race, run In three flights and
replete with sensational achieve
ments on the part of the entrants
that promise to become aerial tra

world records, both official and un
official, for SO, 100 and 200-kilome

Lieutenant Maitland Second.
Lieutenant L. J. Maitland, piloting

were overshadowed by the terrific
speed he attained on one lap of SO
kilometers. He covered tbe dis
tance at the rate of 2K.1 miles an
hour faster than anyone ever flew
in a race.
For the 100-kilometer course dur
ing the race he averaged 207.1 miles
an hour, another world record.
Maughan's plane Is 'the one that
made a world's record of 220 miles
over a one-kilometer course at Gar
