TVInripal among the laws the Port
land Association of Credit Men will rec
ommend for enactment at the coming
session of the Jtiite Legislature v.111 bo
that regulating or preventing the as
"Ignmpnt of vajts by employes prior to
the time such wages haye hc-n earned.
This was the conclusion reached last
nicht nt the reKtilar monthly dinner of
the Credit Men. which was given at
the Portland Commercial Club.
Other lesi.slation favored by the leg
islative committee of the association,
and indorsed last night, includes bills
requiring that a record he kept of all
property that owner.-" contend Is exempt,
demanding the til inar and recording of
the names of all persons forming part
nerships, and regulating the extent to
which business can be transacted during
a period of extraordinary holidays snch
were considered expedient during t.he
financial flurrv of the Kail of l'n7.
The legislative committee reportej
unfavorably on a proposed hill provid
ing a penalty for Issuinir checks on a
bank In which the author of a check
had no funds. The committee did not
approve of this character of legislation
on the ground that the rights of the
Injured party would not be better pro
tected than they are under existing
statutes, by which persons issuing;
worthless checks may be prosecuted on
a charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. This recommendation
was made on the strength of the theory
:hat a minimum of legislation on the
subject involved would prove of greater
idvantage to all concerned.
No expression was had on the ques
tion of the "blue Sunday" law, al
though legislation on this subject also
was suggested to the legislative com
nittee. The failure of the association
to act on this matter was due to the
suggestion of Thomas G. Oreene, who
-eiuarked that, so far as the Sunday
aw was concerned, the provisions of
the law respecting the conduct of the
aloon on Sunday already had been de
termined. Furthermore. It was Insist
rd that the Interests of the Credit Men
were not concerned in any proposed
modification of the law in this regard
is it already exists.
"The Objects and Aims of the National
Association of Credit 'Men" was the sub
ject of an address by A. H. Ilevers, who
was followed by Thomas (J. Greene, who
discussed "Some legislation Which We
May Present to the Next legislature."
These addresses were followed by several
members-elect of the legislature, who
made a few remarks responsive to the
suggestions of the committee.
Fifteen members of the legislative
delegation from this county find Senator
Jay Bowerman. of Gilliam. Sherman and
Wheeler Counties, and probable choice
of the Republicans for President of the
Senate, attended the banquet as guests
of the Association. The following legislators-elect

ROBBERS MAKE GOOD HAUL
Loot Store at Peoria and tie! $250
by Blowing Sufe.
ALBANY. Or.. Dec. IS. (Special.)
Descending on the little village of Peoria
last night, two burglars made a haul
worth about fTtjo and have apparently
male good their escape. They broke into
the general merchandise store of I". G.
Berry, t lie only store in Peoria, hwtd the
slo:-e of everything of value tiiat could
be conveniently carried, and also blew
open the safe. This contained more than
tZM in money, and this and at least $TJr
worth of stock was taken. There is no
clew to the identity of the burglars al
though the job npp 'ared to be the work
of two men. Siit-riiT Smith, of Unn
founty. and SherifT Oellatky. of Ben
ton, are working on the case.
Peoria Is a village on the Willamette
Rivsr. in t lie western part of I.inn County,
six miles west of Shedils. the nearest
railroad point. B ing off the railroad.
It Is never frequented by criminals or
even hobos anil this leads to the belief
tiiat tv o experienced criminals selected it.

cil last night the new City Hall build

OLD FOLKS MAKE 'EM BAD
Heredity to Blame for -Naughty
Children. Sais Lecturer.
John Poulton opened the subject
What Shall We Do With Our Boys and
Girls?" at the Portland branch of the
MEN
International EthicBl Educational So
ciety, last evening, at Sol Yamhill street
S.me of the audience expressed the
opinion that children were endowed with
a natural sharp of "i-ussvdiiesa" for
which, tiie ni.i'her and father were not
responsible. Others thought that a share
of responsibility was with the parents,
but much more with the grandparents.
The tendency seemed to be to place the
responsibility for bad children .as far
buck in the generations as possible.
At the close of the meeting the chair
man said that the subject ought to have
h.-.n. "What Shall We Do With Our
Parents?" .
According to Mr. Pmilton. nr hoys and
girls are not so much the embodiments of
the precepts of the parents as they are
the living embodiments of the examphs
set before them daily. Too much of the
time of p-irents is engrossed In wealth
getting. Mr. Poulton believed one of the
most important things to cultivate gentle
ness anil kindness In children was hu
m:;ne education. Paid lie: "Childhood is
the pliable period of life. The thoughts
and examples we set before children
crvstallize and harden In th-ir nature,
and bad or good children are largely of
our ov.-n making, due to our own ignor
ance, thoughtlessness or selfishness, or
the reverse. "

The Portland-Hood River Association,
consisting of Portland owners of Hool
River property, was organized last night

his staunchest supporters. He Is uni
versally hated by the enemies of Castro,
and his unpopularity and his close con
nection with the President accounted for
the anger of the populaca against the
nrniwrl V of his son-in-law.
Numerous inscriptions setting- forth
the virtues of Castro, and extolling his
powers next attracted the mob, and
every inscription was hacked out and
erased. Some of these legends were
carved in the public buildings of the
city.
Troops Stop Rioting.
Tt wn after 1 o'clock bV tll6 time
'the crcwd had got thus far in its
depredat.ons. It was then that a de
tachment of troops was called out for
duty on the city streets, and Acting
President Gomea issued a manifesto
prohibiting further manifestations.
These measures had the desired ef
fect, for the mob quieted 'down and
then dispersed.
The attack yesterday on the offices
of El Constitutional, which the crowd
was curbed by a detachment of sol
diers, who fired into the demonstra
tors, resulted in several fatalities. A
criminal action had been begun against
Edward Rivas and other employes of
the paper, In which they were charged
with responsibility tor tnese qeatns.
It is declared that Rivas and his men
fired first on the people, making use
of revolvers.
Only Newspaper Suspends.
El Constitutional has suspended publi
cation, and Caracas is practically
without a newspaper.
The funeral of Mariano Rojas, one
of the men killed in the fighting of
yesterday, has been fixed for tomor
row. A, vast crowd will turn out, and
further disorders and rioting are ex
pected. In spite or Holland s wariiKe dem
onstrations on the coast, there have
been no demonstrations against the
Netherlands. They have all been di
rected against President Castro and
Acting President Gomez.

ASS
DUTY ON
Everett Ames Argues With
Ways and Means Committee.
WOULD . CLOSE FACTORY
Portland Man Says That if Tax on
Burlap Were Removed His
Firm Would Quit Manu
facturing. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Dec. 8. In a brief argument be
fore the House committee on ways and
means. Everett Ames, of Portland, rep
resenting the Ames, Harris. Neville Com
pany, of Portland and San Francisco,
urged that the duty on burlap. Imported
for the manufacture of grain sacks, etc..
be fixed at 1 cent per pound, and the
duty on manufactured bags be made
l!j cents. In the course of his argu
ment. Mr. Ames said:
I desire to direct the attention of the
committee to the differential that we siiB
gent between the burlap and the bags. This
differential Is very important to the entire
t'nited States, but !t applies with particu
lar Importance to the Pacific Coast, because
of the unusual conditions existing- in that
locality. The grain crop of the Middle
West is handled in bulk through elf-vators.
The grain crop nf the West beyond the
Rockv Mountains is handied in sa-Ks. or
' i. i. innMihiA "there to handle grali
In bulk. Therefore there are millions of
bags known as the "Calcutta grain bags
made in India and imported only from Cal
cutta and used on me t-acine
r.i husine. renresenta to the bag man
ufacturers the largest volume r.f business
In their territory, and yet tt Is a business
that they can compete oniy io a
limited extent against the imported bag.
i'.j.. , i-K-nlev hill the differtlal be
tween the burlap and the bags was three
eighths of a cent a pound. There was a
very sliicht protection at that time, and a
few grain bags were manufactured on the
Pacific oast. ins v n.on uiu. wmti.
iAa-a nrtMrpd nn protection at all to the
manufacturers, and therefore no bags of
that kind were manuraciurea 10 in? aichl
nn tho Pacific Coast Under the Dlngley
bill we have a quarter of a cent a pound
protection on the specific duty, and the ad
valorem duty Is th same, but on aecnunt
ih .iio-htiv increased value of the Cal
cutta bag the protection we have today
Would be equivalent to inree-iwiiLii. "i -
cent per pound if reduced to the specific
basis. We have asked that this differen
tial be Increased to half a cent a pound
that Is. that the duty on the burlap out
of which the ba;s are mode be assessed
at one cent per pound and the duty on the
tags be placed at 114 cents per pound.
That Is a little more than the rate under
the McKinley tariff.
Increased Labor Cost.
In the first place. It Is a well-known
fact that the cost of labor In the last seven
or eight years has Increased from 15 to 20
per cent on the Paciflo Coast, and the sec
ond reason Is that since ths passage of
the McKinley bill they have Introduced In
Calcutta machinery for manufacturing
those baits which were formerly made by
hand labor. The protection we ask would
not prohibit the importation of th Cal
cutta bag. although It would extend to the
manufacturers on the Pacific Coait a little
larger amount of protection. I woull say
Jhat as to this particular bag alone, known
ns the "Calcutta bl." there are between
40 and SO million of these bags used an
nually on the Pacific Coast, and I feel fully
warranted in saying that not more than
from 3 to 7 per cent of the bags ujed in
that part of the country are manufactured
bv the local bag manufacturers on the Pa
cific Coast.
This is a question to which we nave
elven considerable deliberation. and we
feel from tne results of our investigation
that we are fairly warranted In asking hat
this differential be decreased to one-half
cent a Dound.
It would tend to reduce the revenue on
the hurlan and baa's Drobably to the ex
tent of $t.300.OOO. The revenue In 1H07
was practically $5,000,000, In round num
Would Have to Quit.
In response to a question as to what
would happen if the duty on burlap
should be removed, Mr. Ames seta nis
firm would be obliged to quit manufac
turing. He said they manufactured no
bags under the ilson tariff law.
If the differential should be estab.
llshed. as he recommended, he said the
price of bags to the farmer would be
reduced 3 or 4 per cent, n ne manu
facturer could not absorb this percent
age, for the price is fixed in competition
with Calcutta.
Prison-Made Baste.
Sir. Ames was asked what proportion
of the bags on the Pacific Coast are
prison made. He replied:
There are between 40 and SO million bags
used, rtenendlnz uoon the crop'. The peni
tentiary at San Quentln makes in the neigh
borhood of 3.noo.'Hio Dags ana tne peniten
tiary at Walla Walla makes tn the neigh
borhood of one and one-half million.
The price has not been materially af
fected, and It would not be affected ex
cepting In case of an Increase of the crop
when that has been sufficient to affect the
price at the end of the season.
Have not prison-made goods been put
on the market at a lower price than the
manufacturer's price?
The prison-made goods at some times
have been higher; for Instance, last year
thev opened their price much higher than
the" ruling price, but the Walla Walla pen
itentiary lost heavily on their bags last
year.
What per cent of the market is supplied
bv the prison labor?
' I figure that possibly 10 per cf nt Is sup
plied by prison bags. Five to 7'i per cent
Is supplied by bags of local manufacture.
You understand that the prison brings In
the raw Jute and weaves Its own burlap.
It does not bring in the burlap.
Prioe Fixed.
Who fixes the price of convict-made
bags?
The nrice is fixed by the board of direc
tors at San Quentln. and at the Walla
Walla penitentiary the price Is fixed by
a board known as the "board of control.
Is there ever any attemit made to un
dersell the regular manufacturers of these
goods ?
They disregard the market entirely. In
Pan Francisco, in California, they are only
allowed to sell to actual consumers in lots
of 3000 each, wherever the bags go. In the
state of Washington the bags are allotted
to the. several counties In the state, and
only consumers who make afr.davit that
they are actual users of the bags are al
lowed to take them up to the first of July,
in that state, after the first of July, any
body can buy bags from the penitentiary;
but we can not meet the competition of
these bags. We simply pay ne attention to
their prices.
Price Fixed.
i
Mr. Ames said that his company was
a corporation, with a capital stock of
$t31.000. They have paid no dividends
since the San Francisco earthquake, as
their factories were destroyed. Prior to
that time they paid an annual dividend
of G per cent, though sometimes they
earned more than that. Theirs is a close
corporation, and no stock Is on the mar
ket. Mr. Ames' company manufactures
bags exclusively for sale In Oregon,
Washington, . Idaho. California and Ne

SMITH ADVOCATES CHECK
WOULD MARK IT CKIHE TO
HIRE PETITION CIRCULATED.
State Senator Believes He Can Stop
Abuse of Initiative and Referen
dum by People.
SALEM, Or.. Dec. 16. (Special.) For
tho purpose of putting an end to the
excessive use of the initiative and ref
erendum. State Senator -J. N. Smith, of
Marlon County, will Introduce a bill in
the coming session of the Legislature
makiiiK It a felony for one man to hire
another to circulate a petition for sig
natures. Senator Smith believes this
simple provision will put a stop to the
filing of a large number of initiative
and referendum petitions every two years
and yet will not in any way interfere
with the exercise or tn;s power wnen
there is a real occasion for it.
Senator Smith s bill will put the sign
ing of petitions upon exactly the same
ban is as casting ballots, so far as crim
inal laws are concerned. His bill will
be in the same language as the law for
the punishment of persons who bribe
men to vote. That law is known as
Section 1900" of the code. The only
change will be that the act prohibited
will be giving or offering to give to any
person any gift, gratuity or valuable
consideration, or promising to do or
cause to be done any act beneficial to
such person, 'with intent to Influence or
Induce ' such person to circulate or pro
cure signatures to any petition for the
Initiative or referendum. The penalty
will be the same as that prescribed for
the punishment of bribery voters, from
one to five years In the penitentiary or
three to twelve months in the County
Jail. No fine will be provided.
Senator Smith said today: "This will
in no way hmder the proper use of th
initiative and referendum. Whenever

You can't make $30 to $40 any easier or
quicker than by buying a lot in Swinton before
Monday evening.
It will be an investment you'll look back to in
the future with pleasure because it will prove
very profitable.
We have only 150 lots left out of the original
plat of 1000, this proving very plainly the quickly
recognized desirability of Swinton lots as an in
vestment. Every one of these 150 lots is a good one, as
good-as any of the 850 already sold.
The price of the lots includes the grading of
ther streets to city grade, the laying of water mains
in front of each lot and the clearing off of all
brush in a word they are ready for the home
builder. We expect to sell the bigger portion -of these
150 lots by Monday evening. Beginning Tuesday
the balance will be held at regular prices until
Christmas, after that prices will, advance lO
per cent.
Enough reasons for buying in Swinton? If
not you'll find many more by inspecting the
property. Easy to do so with little trouble.

there Is a real occasion for resort to
direct legislation popular sentiment will
be so strong that men all over the state
will volunteer to circulate petitions. This
bill is Intended to shut off that class
of direct legislation which has no pub
lic sentiment back of it and which could
not be submitted to a vote of the peo
ple but for the use of money in circula
tion of petitions.
"To raise the percentage of signa
tures required and still permit money to
be used would be to place more power
In the hands of the man willing to uso
money to satisfy his whims or promote
his personal interests. I believe the per
centage now required is large enough
provided no Improper use of money is
permitted In securing signatures."

A CLOSE SHAVE
Many of Them Happening: Kvery Day
but Soon Forarottea.
Close shaves would be of more fre
quent occurrence but for the tender
faces of many men, which will not
permit of shaving often. Heretofore,
nothing has been said in these columns
about poslam. a new skin discovery, in
connection with its use after shaving.
Its publicity and sales have been con
fined almost exclusively to its remark
able properties as an eczema cure; It
stops the Itching at once and cures the
worst cases in a few days. While the
application of poslam after shaving Is
one of its minor uses, such as for pim
ples, the complexion, etc., shavers will
find it a revelation, as it does fy
abrasions, roughness, and severe scrap
ings what it does for all manner of
skin difficulties heals and cures in a
few hours. It Is the only article pos
sessing real antiseptic and curative
value that has ever been exploited for
this purpose, and will soothe and tone
up the skin as no toilet preparation
could possibly do.
Poslam can he had for fifty rents at
any reliable druggist's, particularly the
Skidmore Drug Co. and Woodard,
Clarke & Co.. who make a ype
claltv of it. Or the Emergency Labora
tories. No. 3L' West 25th Street, New
