CRITICS ARE ANSWERED Pulling Copy of Brooke-Boan Bill fVora HI rocket, Speaker Ex plains Provl-loii to Test Le gality of Statement No. 1. Campaign lue were descussed from an automobile at Seventh and Wahintm streets Saturday evening by John B. Goddard and O. M. lllckey. anti-assembly candidate for the Lower House of the Leslslature. and C. N. McArthur. assembly candidate for State Senator. Ooddard and Hlckey rehasded previous arguments against the irmllr movement, and criticized Mr. McArthur and John C. .McCue for supporting the Brooke-Bean bill at the last fusion of the Legislature. At the conclusion of thrlr remark, the crowd yelled for Mr. MrArthur. who wa Invited by the speakers to renlv. Mr. Mi-Arthur made a vigorous araimrnl in favor of the assembly movement, whl-ti was" applauded by the crowd, and after producing a copy of tiie Brooke-Bean bill from his po-ket and reading Its full tej.t. he .iefende himself and his colleagues for their support of the measure. The sole object of the Brooke-Bean bill." said MrArthur. "was to determine. In a legal and orderly manner, the- con rt!tutiorrality of Statement No. 1. There in no int-ntlon on t!:e part of any Member of the Home to rob the people of their rights or Insult their Intelligence, as has bee.i fa'sely charged by the Demo cratic presa. You will doubtless remem ber that the question f the constitution ality of Statement No. 1 was the sub ject of considerable discussion during the last elon of the egllature. Eminent lantrri In all parts of the country dls-ag-ee.f upon the question and Mr. Brooke and Mr. Bean, both ,qf whom are good I twyers and men of' Integrity, drew up th measure In question and Introduced U. It was the Intention of those who sup ported the bill that a test rase be made unon some mrmlwr of the Senate elected tills year, thru the matter be taken Into court and determined before the Sena torial election two ears henre. If State ment No. i Is unconstitutional, there should b an expression of opinion to that rffert by the Supreme Court. If It Is ronetitutlonal. the fact should be es tablished beyond a reasonable doubt. Be fore voting for the measure. I explained tiiat while I did riot approve of State ment No. L ! had no desire to let my views Influence the opinions of others, hut that 1 'ld want the constitutional question passed upon Judicially before the rext Senatorial election. If Statement No. 1 Is unconstitutional." It should be wiped off our statute books. If It Is con stitutional, there should be no further criticism of It along those lines." HEl'lSTlSfSlOE AKF.A IN WALLOWA COINTY TO UK OPENEI OCTOBKIl 2.1.. .m Grande Land Office Ha He celled 4000 Letter Inquiring About Homestead Chances. LA-GRANDK. Or., Sept. 17 tSpe rljl.l Much to the surprise of those in' touch with affairs, the original de scription of lands to be thrown open In Wallowa County for settlement on fK-toher ;1 and for entry on November 21. have been found to be cntirei wrong, and new descriptions have been ordered and published by the I.a irande Ijnd Office. In view of the fact that the opening has been attracting Nation-wide atten tion, and aomethlng like 4o0 letters have been answered by sending a de scription of the land and rules pertain ing thereto to all these people from Maine to California the change is of great Importance. The original de scription included a few thousand arrs more than the amended descrip tion. As there Is but a month until the time of settlement, many will come to Oregon with Intentions of filing on tracts of land that are Teally not In the openlntr. Th conflict arose a few days ago at Washington when It was found that the State of Oregon had applied for a portion of the land set aside for entrv under the 13.19 Carey act. Aa the state has tills right, and the filing was made before the announcement of the withdrawal for public entry, and because the department had not l.een posted on the, matter, the changes were made ne.essary.

Platform I, Outlined and Defiance Thrown at Anti-Assembljltes AVho Seek Ills Withdrawal. Charges that Boon Cason. the young Sellwood attorney, has entered the con test for State Senator from Multnomah County on the anti-assembly ticket for the sole purpose of defeating George W. Joseph are. vigorously denied by Mr. Cason and his friends. A storm of oppo sition arose from Democratic newspapers and the Republican anti-assembly ma chine when Mr. Cason filed his declara tion, and every effort has been brought to bear on him to Jnduce him to with draw from the race. That Mr. Cason Is proving a thorn In the side of the antl-asscmbly machine i evinced by the strong pressure that is being brought to Induce him to with draw h name and leave the field clear for Mr. Joseph. Mr. Cason started his career as a streetcar conductor and by hard earnest effort and strict applica tion to duty ha risen to a position of prominence In the county. He Is a lawyer of ability and la considered one of the ber stump speakers in the county. Mr. Cason outlined hU platform as fol lows: When Mr. Cason refused to with draw he was warned that he could ex pect no support from the Democrats of the anti-assembly organization and it was argued that his advent Into the race would probably result In the nomination of C. X. MrArthur. It is conceded by the anti-assembly organization that Mr. Cason. owing: to hie great popularity In Sellwood. would probably poll a . heavy vote which would otherwise go to Mr. Joseph. "I have never been approached b a single representative of the assem bly." said Mr. Cason. -and I am In this race not for the purpose of splitting up the anti-assembly vote but because 1 want to win. I desire to win be cause I believe that I am fully as com petent as either Mr. McArthur or Mr. Joseph to represent Multnomah Coun ty in the State Henate. and you can say for me Jhat 1 am in this light to stay. , it was mv Intention to run for the place made vacant by the resignation of State Senator John B. Coffey, but in this I was discouraged by the anti assembly people, who urged that they had already combined on an anti-as- kiv man for this place. I feel that have as muc'i rigni m v"' " to place my name before the voters of Multnomah . - . .- Itns anv Olll" I lunn. ' ardless of whether he is hacked by an assembly or an ami-. -ganlzatton." Peonle of this country are the sov ereign rulers of thla country j Congressmen of the Cnlted States are elected directly by the people. The will of the people of the United States has always been represented by tHe Na tional House of Representatives: the President of the L'nlfed States Is prac tlrallv elected by the people of the United States voting by states. There can be no good reason shown why the people are not competent to choose their own Senators. 'If I am elected.

"I will use every means to defeat the purpose of the crook, whether he be rich or poor.

More and Better Schools and Roads and Higher State Tax Furnish Explanation, He Says. OREGON CITY. Or.. Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) In reply to Colonel E. Hofer s charges, published In the form of an open letter In this morning's Oregon Ian, County Judge Grant B. Dlmlck today Issued a statement In which he sets forth what he terms the true con dition of affairs in Clackamas county, which have been under his charge ror the last rour years. Judge Dlmlck ad mits that taxes have Increased in Clackamas county, but he says there Is a reason. Ills letter rollows: "I admit. Col. Hofer. that taxes have Increased in Clackamas county In the last five years, and 1 now present to you the reasons why. The population of our county has increased, the cost of our public schools has Increased since 1905 from $94,000 to $1S2.3L4.47 in 1909. and every intelligent citizen knows that the county court is not responsible for the Increase. The Leg islature has compelled longer terms of school, and the Increased number of school children naturally Increased the cost of our public school system. "We also admit that taxes have risen for the reason that our state tax has practically doubled since 190or-and to day we pay into the state treasury as state tax $49,500. "We admit that we have Increased our road tax from the levy made In l!oi. which was $28. $24. 13. to over jton.noo. for the purpose of Improving our public highways, and we have In nncntlnn in Clackamas ' county tour rock-crushers building improved high ways, and there Is absolutely no graft connected with that' business. Prior to my election a large part of our roads was built by subscription work and donations made by the sawmills and farmers, and the land speculators con tributed nothing. Today the roads are being built by taxes where every spec ulator is compelled to contribute his portion, and I am glad that mere r neonle in this state who know that our bridges and roads are in the very finest of condition, considering me fact of our small road fund and our 3200 miles of road and our 364 bridges more than 75 feet long, and some of them ,600 feet, and over 1800 smaller bridges. Increased population and in creased sentiment for building perma nent Improved highways, increased number of school children and in creased state tax would naturally com pel the county to raise a greater amount of taxes than we formerly raised under the old system. Now, Colonel, you being such a great graft-fighter, and you Intimate that graft exists in our county on account of Increased taxes, why don t you De iair enough to tell the reasons why taxes have Increased in all or the counties where the schools have been Improve! and sentiment for good roads has been Instilled In the minds of our citizens? '.'Now. Colonel, you advocate througn your paper the building of state roads; you say ' build a road from Salem to Siletz, and from Salem to Tillamook. jCow, we admit that would be a good thing, but who is going to pay for It? They cannot hurt you people In Salem, for you people went Into the Legisla ture and had every dollar. of taxable property within the corporate limits of the City of Salem absolutely exempt from all county road . tax and today there is not a dollar of county road tax collected within the corporate limits of your own city and still you are ad vocating the building or good roads, when you know that you will not have to pay one dollar of their cost. Now, If that Is graft. olonel. why don't you begin to fight It at home? "Take the following countiea which have filed their running expenses wit'i the Secretary of State for 1908: Baker County. j0.272.S3; Clackamas County, 335,179.61 ; " Clatsop County, 151,073.41; Lane County. $71,153.11; Marion County. $64,239.75; Umatilla .County, 380,456.01. "Now. you will notice that Clackamaa County Is under all of the other coun ties In her running expenses, and still we have about the same population. "Now take those same counties from the records filed with the Secretary of State In 1909: Baker County. J60.172.66; Clackames County, $53,602.50; Clatsop County, $64,433.50; Lane County, 163, 272.29; Marion County. $80,955.05; Uma tilla County, $72,485.50. "You see that Clackamaa County ha been more economical than your county by over $27,000, and still we had 22 more oases In our Circuit Court than you had In Marion County. Now I will ask you why you do not begin to fig" r at home? "You say that Beal, of Tillamook, has been grafting 011 the state, drawing his $10 per day for superintending a building that he knows nothing about. Now. if you are such a graft-fighter, why don't you fight him. in fact the en tire system, through the columns of your Salem Journal? "Now, Colonel, be fair, and when you tell the people about the- Increased taxes of Clackamas County, show the large amount of special school tax raised which was not raised in 1905 and shown on your abstract, which you exhibit; show the large amount of spe cial road tax that the farmers are rais ing In many -of the districts" in our county that was not raised In 1905: show the large amount of increase or our public school children and the In creased per capita tax from $6 to $7 by the Leslslature of 1907, and the Increased amount of city tax that has been raised by the different municipal corporations for the Improvements of streets and their running expenses that was not raised In 1905. and be fair and honorable In your statements." NEW RULES ARE PUZZLE root ha 1 1 Committee Can't Under stand. Own Regulations. NEW YORK. Sept. 18. The Intercol legiate committee, which formulated the new football rules met Saturday and sat well Into the evening In an effort to reconcile their theories of last Spring with the facts brought out by a Sum mer of experiment. Several points In doubt were cleared but others remain. The question of forward pass penal ties is still open. Many thought that under rule 18 a player may run any number of yards and then make a for ward pass. Others thought not, and no decision was reached. Chairman Walter fnmn hold that thfl rule nermits a player to make a forward paas behind , ,ne Jlne of scrimmage. The whole mat ter was rererred to the sub-committee. . The word "catch in rule 18 was changed to "touch" so that - the rul now reads, "players or the side which puts the ball In play may not in any way Interrere with their opponents un til the ball has been touched, by a plaver or either side, except," etc. Rule 20 forbids a return kick of any sort but Mr. Camp said the sub-com mittee would be asked to revoke It. Meanwhile the rule must be observed The language or rule 3 mystified some of the coaches and only hair the mystery was solved. It was decided that a player removed ror cause that is. ror Inrraetion or the rules may not be returned: hut It was not settled whether a player removed ror Injuries ng es the committee forgot to Impose a pen alty on the side whose guard receives the ball in a snap back as forbidden by rule 4, section 5, which was aimed at mnss plays. t Chairman Camp said that a penalty 'of five yards would be imposed. With the exception of guards anv Dlaver may receive the ball after It has been put In play by any other player of his own side. It was held that a runner with the ball who has fallen may not be helped to his feet, as such assistance comes un der the word pulling" In the clause of rule 16 forbidding pulling, pushing and holding. If the ball hits an ofriclal arter it has been In play. It was decided that the play may be repeated. I'nion Is Made Threefold. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Sept. 18. (Special.) George E.

Tribune. , Theodore Roosevelt's Copyright by Charles Scribner'a Sons African Game Trails We quote above a statement that this is "The Book of the Year." We believe it true for many reasons; chiefly because, The writer of the book had ail his heart in the writing of it as these words of his show: "I regard this book as a serious thing. I have put my best into it." Because he was inspired by the tre mendous romance of his subject. As these words of his show: '" I speak of Africa and golden joys the joy of wandering throughTonely lands; the joy of hunting the mighty and terrible lords of the wilderness, the cunning, the wary and the grim." Because, as the Evening Sun finds, the book is:. "One of the handsomest volumes, if not the handsomest volume, that ever came fmm the cress of CHARLES SCK1 BNErTb SONS.
