CLUB IS STRONG FOR NEWS. P. DEPOT IN CITV Prompted by the application of the Conunorclal Club for butler depot facilities In Oregon City, throe ot flcliiU of tho Southern Pacific Co., II. A. lllnshaw, general freight agi;nt, J. A. Ormandy, uhsIhUhi geno.-at pus songer ftK""t, and A T. Murder, sup erintendent of the Portland division, were here Monthly to inske un In vestigation of the complaints that have culminated in the filing of an application with the Public Service CoiiinilPHlun for a hearing, with the object of compelling the cumpany to build a new station. The Commercial Club's committee, bended by Wallace 11. Caufluld, in hi application makes tho following Ktatemetitu: "That the df'iiot and station facll Itles affnrdod by tho said company in Oregon City (or tho accomodation of passenger and freight truffle ffro in iuliiuate and Insufficient to meet the neils of the patrons of the company at that point und of the community In general. "That the existing freight and ex press facilities sre crowded so closely to the passenger facilities as to makh conditions both unsightly and hazard ous. "That It has been and now Is the prnctli-e of the company to permit local butchers to unload livestock at the depot, and passenger station in Oregon City, and to load them In front of the main passenger waiting room over the depot platform, anJ the approach to the depot designed for tho u of passengers and pro spective passengers. "That the aforvsaid regulation and practice, and tho service afforded by tho company are In the respects com plained of and by reason of the fore going matters and things inadequate, unreasonable and unjustly discrimin atory." It Is understood that the company will resist the attempt of the ship pers, represented by the Commercial Club, to compel the construction of a now station here. Local represent atives state there Is no ground avail able, that the cost of construction Is prohibitive and that the local busi ness of Oregoq City Is bandied la-ge-ly by motor trucks, admitting, how ever, that motor trucks carry local freight as far south as Albany, and that Albany, Salem and other cities In the Northern Willamette valley ob tained new .Btatlons sdveral years ago before paved roads were built. 2051 MILES ROAD SALEM, Or., Dec. 17.

West of Fellows, Kern county, Call fornla, shot and instantly killed his wife, Flora West, at the home of John O. Brown, in North Dallas, shortly after 11 o'clock this morning. West then took a small vial, of carbolic acid with suicidal intent, but at last report from the Dallas hospital, whe-e tho man was conveyed, he may survive. Sovietizing Industry It is distinctly a forward declaration made by Wil liam E. Kimsey, secretary of the Oregon State Feder ation of Labor, is his statement that "practically every activity of organized labor is tending, and rightly so, to ward the control of industry." The author of this rath er astounding avowal has gone far since he learned his trade of a linotype operator at a keyboard in the plant of the Morning Enterprise, where open shop conditions have always prevailed, and where the producing family is accepted and remains on a basis of merit, loyalty and service on both sides. In short Mr. Kimsey, official spokesman for or ganized labor in Oregon, would sovietize the country's industries, and he would obtain control "only by ab sorbing industry, either by nationalization or by having each industry placed in the hands of those who work therein." By "industry" we assume that Mr. Kimsey means all manufacturing concerns, as well as every wholesale and retail establishment, and every organization of whatever kind where labor is employed, from the farm to the factory. In plain English "nationalization" can mean only ownership and control of operations by the state, for which Socialism is another word. It is not explained how this "nationalization" is to be accomplished. It may be by purchase, in which case we must admit organized labor has a perfect right to purchase and to operate industrial concerns. Many -of them are today owned and controlled by men who once were laborers, and who were savers instead of spenders, who were students instead of sluggards, who were fired by ambition instead of by class envy and hatred. Just the minute labor obtains control of industry, and starts operations, just that minute labor becomes identified as an employer. His mental attitude must undergo a complete reformation. He immediately en ters upon problems far removed from labor, such as financing, meeting payrolls, collection and absorbtion of bad debts, anticipation of market conditions, pur chase of materials and supplies, organization of various departments and hundreds of other problems of capital that must be successfully met if the industry in question is to survive. He must also be content to see his earn ings cut with the lean years that nearly every industry has. t We fear 'Mr. Kimsey is looking at this great ques tion in a one-sided way. The American people will never countenance confiscation of industry, nor will they sanction a Russianized solution of their every-day problems. TWO CLUBS PROPOSE TO JOIN FORCES A mass meeting has been called for next Thursday evening at Mt. Pleas ant, when the Hill Improvement club and the Mt Pleasant Community club will Join forces and consolidate into one big organization. The object ot the proposed order will be tor the purpose of securing Oregon City water for the Mt. Pleasant district.

D. Eby has received word from Arthur S. Benson, clerk of the supreme court that a rehearing of the caeo of W. P. Hawley. Sr.. lu which the latter contested the valid lty of the Clackamas county road bond Issue, would be given. The supreme court, In order to conform to the recent ruling which it made in regard to Union county bonds, will pave the way for the Clackumas county road bonds to be put upen the market for sale, and clear the air for the coming $1,700,000 road program for this county.

Traveling Expense is Free From Tax WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Travel ers on purely business trips are al lowed to deduct from their incomes in computing tax payments, amounts legitimately spent in railroad fares, meals and lodgings. Internal Revenue Commissioner Williams ruled. Trips undertaken for other than business purposes are listed as per sonal expenses and the meals and lodging upon such journeys are "liv ing expenses" and not subject to de duction in making income tax pay ments, Williams said. The commissioner cited as an ex ample that if an individual whosa businers requires him to travel, re ceived a salary as full compensation for-hls services, his expenses for rail fare, meals and lodging in an amount In excess of the sum he would pay at home, is allowed to be deducted from gross income, in filing returns. CARVER IAN ESCAPES DEATH BY QUICK MOVE Stephen Carver, of Carver Station, while hauling logs near there last Thursday, fell from the wagon under neath the horses' hoofs and narrowly escaped death from the frightened and kicking animals. Carver was sitting on top of the logs at the time and when one of the Ioga started to roll from the load, he was thrown be tween the wagon and the team. The horses, becoming unmanageable, started to kick and plunge, but Carver fortunately rolled from underneath the striking hoofs with hut a few min or bruises. The team broke loose from the wagon and ran down the road.

The re sult of the raid was one 15-gallon and one 30-gallon still, the latter all set np ready tor business, and about 150 gallons ot corn mash. The plant was artfully hid among fallen trees and brush about two miles oft the main road, near a small stream tri butary to Clear Creek, and the path to the still which led from Markee's house wag covered over with leaves and brush.

One hundred gallons of the rum were destroyed and the ap paratus smashed by the officers. The outfit according to Sheriff Wll son, was one of the best yet seen In the county. Of especial interest was the filtering plant, composed ot two circular vats, made of wood, seven feet high and two feet in diameter. The filtering process was completed by straining the liquor through vats. which contained alternate layers ot charcoal, sand, and blankets. The place had been under surveilence for about a week, said Wilson, and the men were caught red-handed in a job ot distilling. The outfit was con tained in a small shed near the house. It is understood that they rented the place and had lived there for some time, although the officers believe that they had not yet put any ot their output on the market. The rum was contained in barrels. One ot the Greeks had lived in America for 17 years another 13, and the third years, but none was naturalized.
