attorneys of several counties drew
the fire of suite board members
today, particularly of State Treaa-

n counties where loans have

1925 legislature, the state
board appointed for each county
an attorney to guide .the fnrniera
in making their applications to the
state. A number of these, it de
veloped today, claim foes of $500,
which Mr. Kay thought excessive,
but when the malls revealed one
or two asking for $1,000 the state
treasurer expressed himself In

The Queen's float and corona
tion this year will be n new de
parture and one that will no
doubt meet the favor of everyone
as well as Bring to tho Carnival
a refreshingly new note, one in
keening with the early history
of Douglas County. Tho Queen
will appear in the parad'es and at
the Coronation Thursday morn
ing as Princess Thelma, an Indian
maiden, and her four attendants
will be princesses of a lower rank.
The float for tho royal party is
the largest ever to be used here,
and, ls a huge birch bark canoe,
mirrored In a lake of water. As
the irmpqua Chiefs have complete
charge of the Carnival, It is
thought only appronriate that the
Indian lore on which the Chiefs
organization is built and in whlrh
the early history of this country
Is so rich, should ie brought Into
the Carnival ln some manner. The
float far surpasses ln beauty any
previous attempt, and the novel

The Douglas County Concert
band, because of the state wide
reputation which It has achieved,
has been chosen by the state fair
board as the official band for the
annual state fulr, and has been
givn a flattering contact for that
event. The band will pluy an en
gagement for the full week and
promise state fair goers a real pro
gram of music.
The band has been promised the
full backing of tho Umpqua Chiefs
and Umpqua Squaws, and expect
to stage an entertainment at the
slate fair which will attract a great
deal of attention to Hoseburg. The
band will also be aided by Mrs.
Kred L. Strang and will present a
mixed program twice each day
during the stute fair
The band will take a large circus
tent from Hoseburg and will set
up its own camp. A cook will be
secured and the boy a will keep up
1heir own quarters during the fair,
limlnatliig the necessity of disband
ing and going to separate quarters
each day. This plan will also serve
to keep the hand together so that
they will be available ut all
times.
The band, according to the marts
ager, A. T. liwreuce, has been
working for somo time to land
this contract, which is one of the
most eagerly sought "Jobs" In the
state. Heretofore bunds have been
employed almost exclusively from
Salem and Porllnnd, and It is sel
dom that an iipsttitu baud is given
such recognition.

C. Chapman In hla attack on the
ballot title on ehe referdum pe
tition on tho cigarette license law
' would establish a precedent
j which would within Itself consti
tute the gravest aasault ever made,
upon the people of direct legisla
tion." Circuit Judge U H. Mc
Mahan today dismissed the peti
tion. ln his order of dismissal he
called attention to the fact that
the code grants 20 days after
certifying of the ballot title to
take an appeal from the ballot
title of the attorney-general and
that there could be no appeal from
the decision of the circuit court In
such cases. He points out that In
the present case the relator failed
to file his appeal within the time
allowed by the code awl attempt
ed to aecure an order by Injunc
tion, which, if allowed at this late
date, "would render all signatures
now obtained by the proponents of
the measure valueless and deprive
I them of the opportunity to com-
time prescrjbed by Jaw therefor.
If this can be done In this cane
it can be done ln all enses and
every attempt to invoke either the
Initiative or referendum could be

mainly to that portion of the bill's

Next Fight At Polls
I PORTLAND, Ore.. May 20. Of
i fleers of the Oregon Itetali Cigar
Association, who were responsible
for circulating a petition for a
referendum on the cigarette tax
law, passed at the last session of
the legislature, mild when Inform
ed of Judge McMahan'a decision
that it meant (hat the cigarette
tax referendum would go on the
j ballot. The cigar dealers obtain
ed 16.000 signatures to the petl-
tion which must be filed before
May 27.
j C. C. Chapman, who attacked
the ballot title, claimed It was
void because It deacrlbed the
'measure as tho "cigarette and tob
acco tax bill," and contended that
the title should have been "cigar
ette, unuff and smoking tobacco
tax bill." Judgw McMahnn grant
ed a temporary restraining order
last Friday, when the suit was
filed.
Stating his reasons for attacking
the referendum, Mr. Chapman
said today:
I "I wan fighting to uphold the
cigarette tax because I believe
that every legitimate effort should
be made to protect the revenue of
jthe slate and I favored the cigar
ette tax because It falls with less
severe burden upon the pocket-
1 books of the peoplo than any oth
er measure. Industries, property
nnd necessities are carrying all
the burdens they should carry and
the tax on cigarettes Is neither
: onerous nor does It strike Indus-
I try, property, nor necessities."
I Chapman said that the situation
now Is that the measure will go to
election .and the fight will have to
be made there.
