Gold Hill's city offlcluls are In vestigating what they charge were attempt Thursday morn ing to dynamite the police sta tion and the residence of City Recorder A. E. Kellogg . The first attempt came ac cording to Terry Talent, traffic officer and constable, shortly, after Talent had returned to the police station after completing his work of rounding up New Year's celebrants. A noise at tracted the constuble to the rear ot the station. He opened a door, he declared, and flashed his pocket light on two men. Ono of them, he said, he recog nized. The pair fled, and Ta lent, after returning for his gun, gave chaRe. His pursuit waq halted, when a terrific explo sion noar tho station house at tracted his attention. A charge of dynamite was carried away from the building, Talent believ ed, and wnB dropped by the flee ing men, the blast shattered the windows on both sides of the street.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. Un der a new ruling of the Internal revenue bureau many employes of municipalities who hereto fore have regarded themselves as exempt from the federal in come ttax. will be required to pay such a levy, not only in the future, but to cover several years past. The ruling was announced by Revenue Commissioner iilalr lu a letter to Senator Shoriridge, republican, California, holding I that tho employes of the water and electric light works at Ri verside, California, must pay the federal ttax. Mr. Iilalr said, that although municipal (employes heretofore had been regarded as exempt un der the federal law, a re-examlu-atloa of the statutes revealed that certain classes could not claim such exemption. The ttui must be paid, be said, by per sons employed by certain utili ties, like street car companies, which compete with private en terprise. The Revenue Commissioner based his ruling on a Circuit Court of Appeals decision In a proceeding by the Los Angeles Gas and Electric compuny against the City of Lob Angeles. In that case, he contended, it Is held that quasi private enter prises, competing with private organization Bhould be placed on a similar footing before the law In regard to certain teutures of taxation. Internal Revenue I officials themselves are still In the durk as to how sweeping the effects of the opinion will be. They ap parently expect to determine in each case as It arises whether the new principle applies and would not undertatke to say in how many cities the situation might parallel that at Riverside.

Editor News-Review: Apropos to your editorial in Tuesday s NeWB-Review, you may be giving somo people of Oregon the wrong view concerning the stand taken ; by the Kxecntlve Committee of the Oreigon Hlnto Orange. The Kxeculive Committee, made I up of members representing every part of the atnto unanimously en-j dursed the child labor ameiulment, I and our delegates to tho Ncitlomtl Grange session, together with the delegates from tho States of Wash ington, Idaho and Missouri, all the amendment, being beaten on the final vote, however. The Douglas County Pomona Grange and a large mujorlty of the subordinate Oranges of the state have endorsed tho amend ment. Out of the 2:10 Oranges; In Oregon I can remember buti half a do7,on who have adversely! acted upon this question. The seriousness of the Issue; docs not He lu the terms and ob jects of the amendment itseir. I It Is silly to tulk of an army1 of federal burouuerats roaming! over the land dovouring the tax payer's substance and setting Ills children against his authori ty. The Children's Hureau, or whatever other organ of enforce ment may ho created, will have a perennial fight on Its hands to secure appropriations suffici ent for the enforcement of such laws as Congress may ennct. Thei appropriations committee Is not going to find funds for Inspec tors enough to look Into every kitchen, field or garden. I'nder the two child labor laws enact ed by Congress and later declar ed unconstitutional, there was close co-operation between the federal mi. I sluto authorities.! The stnte, retaining full control of the field of education, is too' strongly entrenched to l thrust I aside lu tlio common enterprise of establishing tho conditions under which children should live. j The real Issue la the old one of states rlshts, tho most 1110-' lucmous domestic Issue lu our hlflory. It has figured In In numerable campaigns and has cost us a civil war. However.! when the people of the l ulled States, hy duo constitutional pro-! cei-s. confer upon the federal gov ernment powers It has not hlth-' erlo possessed, there Is 110 in-, vaiion of nines rlshts. even though the stales may Inelil .-nt-ally be shorn of some of their powers. I'nder our system there are neither state nor national rU-hls superior to the will of tho people. Tho following Is nn editorlnl token from tho iut Issue of the Hreuon Grange Bulletin, ami oIiom why ihc Oregon Slate GratKo, nrguutrntiou composed of oer K'.OoO progressive men and woimn, stand committed in favor ,'of thla siMendioeut: This la the third attempt by Congress tu cutaliM-h some min imum standard tor child labor below which no Stale ran lull Honest argument auaiust Hie amendment may be haed on the contention thin the question is not sorloti inoeith for tedernl action. We believe that it Is.

Bho fought dosperately when ar rested, in her room, the police found her Bavlngs ot 14,640 and In some States ono In four. One glance at the civil codes of Mississippi, North Carolina, Or Georgia oucht to be convincing. As father Ryan says in the Ca tholic World; "Only thirteen states have statutes which arej In ull respects as good us tho' laws enacted by Congress in 191(i and 1919; nine states do not prohibit nil children under 14 from working in factories and stores; eleven statoB nliowl children under 10 to work from nine to oleven hours a day, while four suites nermit children un - dor 16 to work at night." Head the last few lines again; that Is what is meant by "child labor." When you hear those wonderful arguments about llolshevlst or igin, administrative expense, state rights, violation of parent al sovereignty, remember the children working eleven hours a duy and oflen through the night.

Contrary to general beller, the American Federation ot La bor's political activity during the latit presidential campaign re sulted In greater prospects for legislation favorable to labor from the next congress than has been received from the present body, according to Frank Mor rison, national secretary of the organization. The federation Is partisan to principles, but non-partisan poll- tically, he said. it votes lor lis friends, Irrespective of party affiliations. "We supported La Follette and Wheeler, Independent candidates lor president and vice-president, republican and democrat, respec tively, because they represented more nearly the principles labor Rtood for than did theiand happiness in their new; otht r. home. The office vacated by; 'Wo supported 57 candidates' for congress on the republican; , and 147 on the democratic ticket, with the result that the, ! next congress will be more fa-; i orable to legislation desired by, ' us than the present one.
