WASHINGTON, April Con
scription is vital to America betjre
the Nation can have war success.'
Lieut. Col. II. T. N. liridges, of the
British war commission, now here,
delivered this message to the Ameri
can people. "We were saddled with
the volunteer system
the begin-
iiing or the war." said the fighter,
direct from the front. "It hampered
and retarded us in every phase of
war development. The volunteer
system threw our best industrial
forces into the trenches wheu we
needed them at home, and left at
home those whose places were at the
front." He then declared brit flv
thai the entire message of the allied
commission is, "if you are going to
war, go the whole hop. You must go
nt it intelligently and systematically.
Men, women and children, all must
fight, at home or at the front. It i
no longer a war of expeditions, it is
a war oT nations." The Britisher
explained that Knglnnd believes thai
conscription alone with co-ordination
of national forces will enable
America to speedily end the war.
"The people of K.ngland are won
to universal service. They are strong
for conscription. They opposed it al
first only because they did not know
what it was. They now realize that
it is only making war on a business
basis."

BEAN TAXATION BILL
ABSURD, ACCORDING TO
A ROSEBURG- LAWYER
In an interview here this after
noon. Senator B. L. Kddy said the
recent decision of the I'nlted Stales
Supreme Court in which the decrees
of the lower courts were affirmed in
the celebrated Oregon fe California
land grant cases, had the effect of
practically wiping Trom existence
he sn-cal!ed Bean bill enacted at the
last session of the State Legislature.
Senator Kddy said the Bean bill was
,in absurdity in the beginning and
;s made doubly so at this time by the
! lat decision of the Knited Slates
I Supreme Court.
j The bill introduced in the l.egis-
laiure hy Mr. Bean provided for the
taxation of the Oregon V California
j Railroad grant lands in Oregon. The
opposition to the measure argued
that the bill meant nothing for the
reason that ev n though the Chamberlain-Kerris
bill was declared un
constitutional. sheritls or the differ
ent counties would have a right to
lax the lands for the last five years.
To make the proposition safe, Mr.
Bean insisted that the bill be passed,
and it was finally adopted by the
Legislature after a prolonged fight.
The only contention offered by Mr.
Bean in favor or the bill was the
mere possibility of the Chamberlain
Ferris law being declared unconsti
tutional. Kollowlng passage of- Ihe
Bean bill by the Legislature. It was
decided to refer it to the people for
ratification nt the special election to
he held on June 4. As a result of
rdav's decision of the higher
court. St nator Kddy says, every per
i son in Oregon should vote against
, th" measure.
