MULTNOMAH SETS
UP TYRANNY CRY
Pays 31 to 41 Per Cent of State
Taxes, Holds Only 22
Seats in Legislature.
DELEGATIONS BADLY SPLIT
Other Sections of State Refuse to
Giro t"p Representation, but In
Fit Tills County Must ray
Full Share of Taxes.
STATE CAPITOL. Silpm, Jan. X. (Spe
cial.) "Taxation without reprPsontatlon Is
tyranny" Is a motto for lawmakers from
Multnomah Ju.it now. as they behold their
county called u;wn to pay certainly 31 per
cent of the state taxes and possibly 41
per cent, ami containing fully SO per cent
of the state's population, yet In pite of
all this, holding but Zl per cent of the 90
seats of the LeKifflature.
Multnomah always has got the worst of
It from the rest of the state. In taxation
nnd lawmaking representation. Its efforts
to secure a fair share of legislative seats
and to mcape an undue part of state
taxes, have xnado many fights In the
capitoL
Multnomah County Is entitled to Sft Beats
In the House. Instead or the 13 It holds:
and to tea places In the Senate. Instead
of seven. Outside counties have been un
willing to allow Multnomah Its full share,
beeaime fearing the consolidation of so
much political power and desiring to keep
to themsel-es seats they would otherwise
lfe. But they have always Insisted that,
Multnomah pay taxes up to the ratio that
should rule In legislative apportionment.
They have not allowed Multnomah to pay
taxes In the same low ratio by which It
la represented In the lawmaking body.
Tax Issue Revives light.
Ail this has been revived by the tax
atportionment question, now presented by
ttie unconstitutionality of the arbitrary
tax apportionment under which Multno
mah has been paying- 31 per cent of the
state taxes. Unless the taxes shall be
equalized between the counties. Multno
mah County will pay J.VX.0C state taxes
this year, or 41 per cent of the total. Even
If the, apportionment shall be equalized,
Multnomah County will pay at least 31
per cent. This accords closely with Mult
nomah's share of state population, but as
to legislative members, nay. The state
owes Multnomah ten more legislators than
It allows.
It seems Inevitable that the state shall
go back to the old method of apportion
ing county taxes very unsatisfactory to
Multnomah through a state equalizing
board, unless the constitution shall be
amended, permitting the Legislature to
enact some other rule of tax apportion
ment. ThLs system ruled until 119. when
the exactions of the tqualinng Board
practiced upon Multnomah and some
other counties compelled those counties
to mass their forces In the Legislature
and abolish the Board. Then followed a
period of assessment cutting by County
Assessors for the purpose of enabling
counties to shirk unfair burdens of taxes,
resulting from the assessment-cutting
rivalry of counties. This continued until
JD01. when the arbitrary system was
adopted which, In the opinion of the Su
preme Court, Is unconstitutional.
Jangle Over Harmony,
If Multnomah County can agree. It will
make a united demand for a larger rep
resentation in the Senate and in the
House. But can it agree? It has not
enjoyed harmony this session on any
measure, nor did It last session. It has
had warring factions in the Legisla
ture for so many sessions back that even
the oldest Inhabitant falls to remember
to the contrary.
For this reason It would seem that fears
of outside counties that too much power
would be centered In Multnomah, by giv
ing that county its full share of Legisla
tive members, are groundless. But even
aside from tnose fears, selfish desire of
other counties to keep legislative seats,
to which they are not entitled by popu
lation, shuts Multnomah out.
JONES; HE SIGNS FOR BOOK
fcOIvOX FROM DOrGIxAS COCXTY
LiEARXS RULES.
Even Though Chairman of Commit
tee on Library. Re Has to
OJey Glllingham.
STATE CAPITOL. Ealem. Jan. X
(Special.) Membership In the Oregon
Legislature does not exempt one from
enforcement of the rules and regulations
governing the State Library. At least,
that was the experience of Representa
tive George Jones (Douglas), who vis
ited the upper floor of the Capitol build
ing the other day in quest of a reference
book. Having secured the desired docu
ment, the gentleman from Douglas start
ed to return to the House chamber, when
he was detected by Edward Gillingham,
Etate Librarian.
"Were you golnr to remove the book
from the library?" Inquired Gillingham
of the young lawmaker.
"Tea. sir."
"Well, then, I will have to ask you to
sign for it."
"But I am a member of the House of
Representatives." replied the young
Iouglas County lawyer.
"That may all be." responded the
Librarian, "but under the rules I am re
quired to have everybody removing a
hook from the library receipt for the
siime, that It may be traced should It not
be returned."
"You do not seem to understand me."
came back Jones. "In addition to being
a member of the House, I also am chair
man of the committee on public library."
"I am aware of that fact." persisted
GUllntrham. who lns!.ts on the recogni
tion of the "rules. Irrespective of person
or position. "You are entitled to the use
of the book, but it Is necessary that you
give me a receipt for it before you can
take It out of the library."
The dialogue continued for several min
utes, but Gillingham stood pat and finally
succeeded In convincing Jones that his
signature was necessary.
TO COMPEL TESTIMONY
Rill to Make Conviction Easier in
Liquor Cases.
STATF! CAPITOL. Salem. Jan. 36.
(Special. )-Another bill in the Interest of
prohibitionists and the An ti -Saloon
Leue, waa Introduced la t2 House to
day by Representative Bonebrake, of
Benton. It empowers Justices of the
Peace. Municipal or Police Court Judges
to require attendance as witnesses of
persons who may procure liquor and be
come Intoxicated In dry counties and to
compel them to divulge the names of the
persons from whom the liquor was ob
tained unlawfully. The measure is a re
production of the statute now in force in
th state of Michigan.
Refusal on. the part of the witness so
subpened by the state to give the desired
Information subjects him to contempt of
court and Its penalties. It is provided in
the bill that the person so testifying
"shall not be held or prosecuted for the
intoxication concerning which such testi
mony shall be given; and. provided fur
ther, that nothing herein contained shall
be so construed as to prevent prosecuting
persons for becoming drunk or Intoxi
cated when the testimony of said person
Is not sousht under the provisions of this
section." '
Shipment of liquor by any person in
Oregon, into dry territory is prohibited
by a bill of Representative Davis, of
Multnomah, introduced last week. This
bill Is opposed on the ground that It
would beneilt liquor sellers outside of Ore
gon at the expense of home dealers.
The statu has no authority to prohibit
shipment of liquor Into Oregon from an
outside slate.

Kansas Congressman Says Xo Mem
ber Can Mop Graft and Cites
Glaring Examples.
WASHINGTON". Jan. 36. "Under the
control of the Speaker of the House and
the enormous power with which he Is
armed, can the Individual member prop
erly discharge his duties to the Nation?"
This .query was propounded today by
Murdock of Kansas in a speech In the
House.
Murdock made four concrete proposi
tions. In one ho cited a case In which,
he said, a Secret Service agent under
a Congressional commission had been
paid over J1S a day, which was an out
rageous sum. and the second. In which
for 23 years the president of the Michigan
Central Railroad had been paid J1000 a
year as a mall messenger to make up
pay for transportation of mails on rail
roads, which Murdock said could not be
done under the laws.
As a third Instance he charged that an
excess of payment of $35,030 a year had
been made to the Ends bridge at SU
Louis for mall charges. The fourth was
the payment by the House of Repre
sentatives itself of 0 a year for a triv
ial clerical duty.
"And now." he said. "I challenge any
member of this body who is not a chair
man of an appropriation committee to a
correction through Congressional action
In these four items' I have cited, over the
opposition of the Speaker or without his
consent or that of any of the chairmen."
Theater Posters Stir Ire
of Japanese
Placards With GlariDK Inscription.
Canxe Protest From Local Consul,
aad Are Removed by Police.
ABOUT E00 placards were distributed
over the city In glaring- red letter
ing, reading:
WARNING
THE YELLOW PERIL IS COMING
LOOK OUT FOR
THE JAP.
In the lewer lefthand corner a gro
tesque face, showing a row of "butter
teeth." and embellished with fierce
mustache and eyebrows, and eyes of
sinister cast, glared out at passersby.
When the boys who were distribut
ing the cards had proceeded a short
way on their errand they became aware
that two Japanese were following a
short distance behind, taking note of
the proceeding.
A little while later the Japanese Con
sul called upon the management of the
Bungalow Theater and Inquired If the
theater was responsible for the pla
cards, and if so, what significance they
had. Consul Numano was told that the
placards simply were Intended to an
nounce a new play that is to be put on
at the theater, and had no possible
connection with political complications
that may arise !n Washington and Cal
ifornia. The Consul was given a copy
of the play to read, and when he had
finished he expressed himself satisfied
with the text, and that the play seemed
fair enough to his countrymen.
Manager Baker, when be found that
his intention had been misconstrued
and was likely to stir up contentions
between the races, as well as Interna
tional complications, sent boys out to
gather in the cards and return them
to the theater. The boys could find only
about 20 of ue cards In the places
where they had been displayed, and
even these had the grotesque face cut
out.
At this time a United States Secret
Service man called on Mr. Baker and
announced th.it in all probability the
matter would be taken up at Wash
ington, on account of the agitation
now going on over the Japanese ex
clusion question, and strongly advised
against action that would ten! to 6tir
up animosity against resident Japa
nese. Mr. Baker expressed himself as
greatly annoyed over the affair, and
said he had no Idea his advertising
cards would be received in any other
than the way he Intended they should
be.
During the day frequent telephonic
inquiries came to the newspaper offices
as to the meaning of the card. The
Police Department also took a hand in
the case yesterday afternoon, and or
dered the cards taken down, giving as
a reason that they had not been put
up according to the provisions of the
city ordinance.

Bonds for Good Roads.
Senator I. H. Bingham, of Lane Coun

Legislature, for It authorizes bonds to
the amount of $17,000,000 in the state.

matter must be submitted to the voters of
buck county t a general election and if a
majority of those voting on that matter
hall vote in favor of Issuing- such bonds
specifying the amount of bond to be Issued,
the same shall be issued accordingly, other
wise no such bonds shall be Leued. The
Legislate. e shall enact such laws as may
be necessary to carry this amendment Into
effect. -

PASTOR SELLECK IF1 AMIS
ATTACKS IR. WILSOX FOR
TRAINING WITH REED.
Ferdinand Blossoms Out as Bis Lob
byist for Measures He
Says Are Important.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Jan.
26. (Special.) Dr. Clarence True Wil
son, well-known Portland pastor, has
come In for a share of notoriety of
Ferdinand E. Reed, the putative emis
sary of a certain faction of the liquor
Interests of Portland. Today the Rev.
W. H. Selleck, Methodist preacher of
Salem, who charged after Reed's beer
cache In the cellar of the Capitol, sent
Dr. Wilson a hot letter, taking him to
task for having associated with Reed
in Salem last week, and for favoring
an amendment of the local option law.
"As the enemies of decency are work
ing for such amendments," runs the
substance of the letter, "It would seem.
Dr. Wilson, that you are In very bad
company." These were not the exact
words of the missive, but they repre
sent its sentiment,
Selleck has declared war on Reed,
as envoy of the liquor interests and as
keeper of a booze cache. One day last
week. Dr. Wilson visited the Capitol
and was towed around by Reed, who
Introduced to him to one person and
another and managed to have him open
the House with prayer. Down in Port
land Reed had cemented the friendship
by dining Dr. Wilson on several con
spicuous occasions, at the Commercial
Club, together with Paul Wesslnger,
of Welnhard's brewery, and several
other .liquor men. Last Saturday, Dr.
Wilson -"made an address before a
meeting of liquor men In Portland.
Pastor Selleck wants Reed barred
from the Capitol. The two had a sharp
tilt last Monday, after Sellick's dis
covery. Selllck charged Reed as a li
quor emissary, and Reed retorted that
the reverend gentleman aiau i Know
what he was talking about and that
he (Reed) was promoting for more im
portant legislation than booze bills.
Among the bills which Reed is boost
ing is one for a Board of Pardons, on
which Reed is said to be slated as a
member; another for a third county
commissioner In Multnomah; and a
third establishing the authority of the
Attorney-General over District Attor
ney Cameron. Senator Bailey, of Mult
nomah, Is working with Reed, and
Reed Is known to be one of his prime
favorites. Both are in the favor of
Governor Chamberlain, on account of
their boosting him for United States
Senator. Reed expects good results to
come from Chamberlain's gratitude.
The extent of Reed's working Is
shown In the facts that Muli.t, Demo
crat, of Jackson County, and close
friend of Chamberlain, Introduced the
bill creating the Board of Pardons;
that Bailey Introduced the bill creating
the new county commissioner in Mult
nomah: and that Kellaher, Republican
Statement allv of Chamberlain, intro
duced the bill setting Cot nty Judge
Webster, of Multnomah, apart from the
Board of County Commissioners.

Select Ivocation.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Jan. 26.
(Special.) Members of the Baker and
Umatilla County delegations at a meet
ing today decided Jointly to Introduce a
bill providing for a branch Insane asylum
in Eastern Oregon, the institution to be
located either In Baker or Umatilla
County. The selection of its location is
to be left to the State Board, consisting
of the Governor, Secretary of State and
State Treasurer. The bill will carry an
appropriation of J225.000 or J250.000.
Ever since the Legislature convened
the delegations from these two counties
have been wrangling over the location of
the proposed asylum in that section of
the State. Until today they were unable
to reach an understanding by which the
location of the institution might be set
