XV. No. 00. ROSEBURG REVIEW v. V Contesting Roosevelt Delegates From Missouri Seated MISSISSIPPI GOES TO TAFT Threatened Bolt and Discussion of Third Candidate Material Sow Agitates (Special to the Evening Review). CHICAGO, June 13. Roosevelt today won his first big victory In the delegate contest when the National committee seated the contesting Roosevelt delegates at large from Missouri over the Taft contestants. The Roosevelt men proved that there was no question as to the legality of their election. Originally there was eight dele gates at large from Missouri, each with a half vote. Today the proposi tion was made and agreed on to have only four delegates, but each with one vote, the remaining four to act as alternates. This was with the ex ception of the eighth district, where the delegation was split, one for Taft and one for Roosevelt. Taft won all the Mississippi contests. Lending to a Roll. Members of the National committee from the 15 states where Roosevel won in the primaries, this al'ternij' began to draw up a formal reao tlon to the convention protest against its action In seating the testing Taft delegates from t" states. It is reported that thel ' test will declare that If Taft Is n nated by the National convention , 1 r states' organizations affected v 'lo fur Roosevelt anyhow. In the conference rooms yesterday ; the possibility of a bolt by the Roose-. velt men and the organization of a ! "progressive" party If Taft is re-' nominated was freely discussed. Holt talk was ever present during the day, and once In the meeting of Roosevelt leaders It rose to a point where Wil liam F. Flynn, of Pittsburg, who was presiding, refused to let It go further. Looking for Third Cniiiliilnle. I Another proposition that came up In the conference was a compromise candidate. A number of leaders de clared It Is now beyond question to expect either Tart or Roosevelt peo-; pie to abide by the nomination of the I other candidate. The situation was crystallzed to a great degree by Hie j action of the National committee in the contest hearings, particularly In j the California case. The Roosevelt I men Insisted that they could expect j noinillg lot mm inuuiu.ii,; t ntc hands of the ruling Taft majority In the committee and condemned with Increasing bitterness the work of that bodv. The third candidate talk included i Cummins and La Kollette and a dark , horse as a possibility. A dozen names were suggested, but there was no unanimous opinion among the lead-i era.

I.YTLESAYS WORLD IS NOT VERY LAP.Cil' PORTLAND. Juno 13. E. E. Lytle, former president and builder of tile Pacific Railway & Navigation road to Tillamook, has just returned from a five nioiths' tour of the Old World, the first vacation he has had since he built the Columbia Southern, and the Tlllimook roads, and sold them to the Harrlnian interests. Lytle is more tlian ever convinced that the world Is a mighty small place. He ran across C. I' Swigort and C. P. Adams, both Portland men. several times while he was enjoying motor ing trips and spending good Ameri can dollars In other ways, lie ran across Hem first in Naples, Italy, and later in Paris, and the Lytles fre quently crossed the trail of the V. W. Cottuis while they were away. Lytle found his greatest pleasure in visit isg art galleries, palaces, castles, fhurches, temples, tombs, catacontSs and in studying highways and railroads or (ireat Hritain and intinental Europe. 'The tommies over there, partlcti niy (iormany, France and England, an show us a whole lot. we don't .now atout Improved roads," said Jr. Lytlt this morning. "The tiver ige courtry road in these countries s much better than the average run af streets in Portland. .Most of them (ire of traradain construction. They are wide well ditched and crowned In the eeiter; the drainage is perfect and the roads are wide. Mainten ance cies keep tbe in in fine repair onstantl;. and even the grass along the roads Is trimmed to a line like our lawns. The cities of the Old World strike you at once as being much chiner than American cities. They takt more pains with them and the Eurowans seem to take great pride in tieir civic cleanliness. "The Eiropenu roads for miles ap proaching the large cities have bridle paths and paths for pedestrians along each side ai"l these are of either ce ment or mttv-idaiu." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. E. C.

They are Invitsh in their praise of Oregon scenery and say that if we j had a first-t lnns modern road a con stant st renin of travelers would throng the Pacific IliKhway. The money spent enroute by these travel ers would soon pay the cost of a broad, bard surface road across the ent're atate.

Ten thousand signatures aro required to got the' bills upon the ballots next November. Measures Explained. The general purpose of each of the four measures proposed was ex plained by Mr. Galloway as follows: "Tbe first provides for a constitu tional amendment giving definite au thority for the taxation of Incomes. If this amendment Is adopted a law can then be enacted carrying out the purpose of the amendment. Tho In come lax law recently enacted In Wis consin offers a splendid basis for such legislation. "Tho purpose of the second bill Is to amend section 3554 of Lord's Ore gon laws by pi icing therein a pro vision exemptln,; from taxation all household furniture and effects ac tually in use In homes; nlso all wear ing apparel and similar personal ef fects In use. This class of personal property Is entirely unproductive and Its complete exemption Is amply Justified from consideration both by equity and practical efficiency In tax ation. "The third bill would abolish double taxation and tho Iniquities of the prose it system of taxing credits. The st- o of Waslt'iigton several voiirs emu-ted a lav to thin effect aM, ft Uis proved highly satisfactory. Tho fourth measure would amend our inheritance tax law to conform to the model law on this suhject recommended by the National Tax Association. This model law has recently been enacted In New York and will doubtless be approved by many other states In the near future. The administrative work under tho proposed Inw Is placed In the hands of tbe board of state tax commission ers." CIIKTIT COl ItT NUTS KILKIJ. II. S. Krench vs. C. S.
