Itsalf. criticism la belntr heard hera of
the manner In which the title for the
amendment, repealing the county tai
amendment passed by the people at the
Uat election, has been submitted to tha
F-retary of State.

rf the fact that W. 8.- U'Ren. champion
of the stnicle tax. was present In tha
Attornsy-Ornerala ofrice when the At
torney -General waa completing the l-tl-s.
Thera la a possibility of a protest
belnc made against the title for this
partK-uIar tas. amendment. The title tn
rhtdea 4) words and the act baa only
words In Its aubloct matter.
Members of the Slate Til CommU
ton say that they originally prepared
a title whl-h they bettered, to be per
fectly satisfactory and which. In their
opinion, outlined the act completely,
briefly and thoroughly. This was
chanced and they believe that tTRen
waa In a certain measure responsible
for tha chanire made.
Ten days are riven In whlrh to pro.
test aralnst a ballot title after It has
been filed with the Secretary of State,
the protest to be carried before tha Cir
cuit Court of this district, which Is court
of List resort In ballot-title rases.
VI hils It la understood that soma
words were chanaed at tha request of
l Rrn, the Attomey-Ceneral refused to
make all of the changes desired by tha
remn City alncla tax advocate, but
Just what tha further changes desired
were cannot be determined.
The ballot title as It stands reads:
Tor constitutional amendment to re-
renl all of section 1A of Article IX es
rept that part prohibiting poll and head
taxes) n Oreaon and Instead of the por
tions repealed to add a provision
prohibiting the declaration of an emer

tion of the office of President pro tern
of the Senate, but It la the opinion that
"the naolution Implies authority for toe

Cnder thla proposed amendment tha
l ieutenant-Governor acts as President
of the Senate and In the absence of tha

Governor, and In case of the Inability
of the Governor. Lieutenant-Governor
and President pro tern, of the Senate,
the Speaker of tha House to act as Gov
ernor." C'Ken At-aloftt Office.
Mr. t"Ren expressed an objection to
the creation of ofrice of Lieutenant
Governor on the ground that the office
would not bo one sought by tha strongest
men In the state and rather would be
slighted generally aa not being worth
tlie- price of admission.
For Senate Joint Resolution No. I tha
Attorney-General designates the follow
ing title:
"for an amendment of Section L Ar
ticle IX. of the Oregon Constitution, pro
viding for a uniform rule of taxation,
except on property specifically taxed,

taxation on property taxed for state
purposes, and for apportioning state
taxes among tha several counties aa
county obligations by reasonable and
eoultable rules.
For Senate Joint Resolution No. t the
ballot title is:
"For an amendment of Section S. Ar
ticle L Oregon Constitution, for the pur
pose of permitting taxea to be levied
upon different claaaes of property at
different rates, but providing that tax
ation must be uniform upon each sep
arate class within the territorial limits
of the authority levying the tax. and
shall be levied and collected for public
purposes only and the power of taxa
tion must never be surrendered, aua
p -nded or contracted away."

The title as prepared by the Attorney
General for House Joint Resolution No.
1 is:
"For amendment of Section L of Ar

require for tha adoption of any proposed
constitutional amendment a majority
vote of all the electors voting at such

Voting on the amendment only.
This amendment waa proposed In the

Initiative and referendum measures.
Vndr tlie amendment, should It carry.
It will be necessary for a majority of

5. Lard or grease may be used In pre

. Those of the faith who are exempt
from the obligation of fasting can. on

lowed to use It several times a day. as
on tha Sundays of Lent, when the obli
gation Is not binding. The use or both
flesh meat and fleh together at the
same meal la strictly forbidden during
tlie wnole ot Lent.
T. In virtue of the authority conced
ed to bishops In the I'nlted States by a
recent pontifical Indult. permission Is
granted to "working people" to use
meat on all days of Lent, with the ex
ception of Fridays. Ash Wednesday and
the Saturday of holy week.
This dispensation from abstinence
extends to all three repasts In the day.
The usual prohibition remains against
using flesh meat and fish at the same
meal.
Household May Be Exempt.
Where the wageearner. In virtue of
the Indult. uses meat, all the members
of the household may likewise use it.
The church does not wish to Impose
upon the household the Inconvenience
of double cooking. But in cases of this
kind those members of the household
who may be bound by the precept of
fasting are allowed the uee of meat
only at their principal repast.
The following persons are exempt
from fasting: All those who have not
attained their 21st year or who have
passed their 60th year: those whose
weak health or condition otherwise
may demand the full amount of nour
ishment, and all those whose occupa
tions are of a laborious) or exhausting
nature.
Those who are excused from fasting,
on account of age or hard labor, may
use flesh meat more than once on the
days on which It Is allowed.
It Is eminently In accordance with
I the spirit of the church that all those
who use the dispensations from the fast
and abstinence, should supply, in part,
the spirit of penance, by prayers and
almsdeeds; by avoiding all publlo
shows, parties and amusements, and by
abstaining from all Intoxicating bev
erages. (
taster Communion Knjolncd.
The time for making the Easter com
munion extends from Ash Wednesday
to Trinity Sunday, inclusive. All the
faithful are hereby warned that all
those who neglect to make the Kaster
communion violate a law of the church
which binds under pain of mortal sin.
The transgressors of the law are,
moreover, subject to excommunication,
and. should they die, to privation of
Christian burial.
Parents have to answer to nod for
their children. Let them, therefore, re
member that they are obliged In con
science to see that their r-hildren and
others under their charge receive East
er communion.
The reverend rectors are requested
to have special Lenten devotions on
Wednesdays and Fridays. The exer
cises shall consist of the beads. Instruc
tion and benediction on Wednesdays,
and the way of the croaa and benedic
tion on Frldaye.
During the month of March the au
thorised prayer to St. Joseph will be
recited after tha usual prayers of the
mass. -
We also request the reverend clergy
to read to the people. In the vernacular,
the gospel for each day during Lent,
and that this be done at the holy mass
every morning.
PROBLEM IS TO SAVE OREGON
Bishop Scaddlng Says Money Is Sec
ondary Need in Campaign.
Bishop Scaddlng has issued to all the
Elpiscopallana of Oregon a "Lenten Pas
toral," In which he says the reason men
do not go to church Is that they have the
malady of unsplriruallty. He - gives
tbsnks for increased subscriptions and
continues:
"These campaigns for money every
where afoot are in themselves, however,
doing little to modify the gravity of tha
problem before us as - members of the
Body of Christ the Household of Ood.
Insofar aa people are merely appealed to
for funds they are having the real duty
clouded over: for, in thinking that In this
way they are giving vital assistance con
science is lulled Just when conscience
should be given a trumpet tongue In us
alL Money la not the deep necessity of
the time. Money has never failed when
intelligence has been awakened and con
science aroused. To get the problem ot
saving Oregon from fevered commercial
ism and reckless selfishness on the hori
son of the public eye. until the fear of
moral disaster haunts the public mind
that Is the crusade which the condition
of Oregon calls for. To force this most
serious question upon the minds of the
general public is aa grave a duty as any
demanding present attention, and i( may
well be our Lenten crusade.
"Human society clearly evidences an
alienation from Ood which is not con
scious, which is not combative, which is
merely indifferent and uninterested. The
present trouble with human society 's
not so much a specific negljct of religion.
It Is not to be diagnosed by a study why
men do not go to church. They do not
go to church because they have the mal
ady of unsplrltuallty. Having It, they
find nothing but boredom In the wor
ship of God. and it affects their whole
life. One cause of this Is easily found
in the mere strain of money-getting
which is felt In such a way that nothing
but amusement, and amusement of a
poor kind, can be endured In the interval
of leisure, i An exhausted man cannot
worship, or meditate on the things of
the spirit, and active worship, energetic
meditation, are required to keep In touch
with tha Invisible. Lifo does not seem
mechanical, but neither is it dominated
by a spiritual purpose. It Is a drift.
There is neither anchorage nor motive
power. There Is less and less willing
ness to take traditional religion for
granted. Men must have actual expe
rience of God or they will find God no
where. "The malady can only be cured by the
Holy Splirt. who can make men spirit
ually minded. The drift can only be
stopped by assuring men of the motive
power of the Presence of God, arid the I
clearly marked anchorage . of a certain
faith Thftrafnra hrttlhn rxt the cler
gy, let our preaching, teaching, parish I
work be marked this Lent by deep spir
ituality. The church's pulpit Is not the
place for destructive criticism, mere the
ological argument, mere ethics, politics,
so-called up-to-date topics, or for pious
platitudes that lead nowhere. Let rrs not
preach about finances during Lent or
take anxious thought for the church's
temporalities. Emphasize the 'spiritual.
Teach the faith, definitely, lovingly, fear
lessly. Preach simply and convincingly
Jesus Christ and his passion as an evi
dence of his love for all men. The souls
of men are hungering for such food. Be
much In prayer, alone, and with your
people.
"And you. brethren of the la'.ty, heed
the call of the church to the discipline
of Lent. She points out to you her test
ed anchorage for the soul and oftera you
the motive power of the presence of him
who said 'Lo I am with you alway. even
unto the end of the world. Forsake not
the assembling of yourselves together st
the services arranged by the clergy, es
pecially the holy communion. Give up
amusements. Practice self-denial. Give
alms and fast. Especially observe holy
week as a time for Intercessory prayer
for the deepening of our spiritual lives
and for the unity of Christendom."

SEVEN CHARGES IDE
S. G. EVANS, KENDRICK BANK
ER AH RESTED, RELEASED.
Directors and Stockholders of Con
cern Which Accuses Him Are
His Bondsmen.
MOSCOW. Idaho, Feb. 28. (Special.)
IT. S. G. Evans, former cashier of the
Farmers Trust Bank of Kendriqk. ac
cused by the bank officials of embezzling
812,000 of the bank funds, was served
with a warrant of arrest last night at his
heme in Kendrick. This morning- he ap
peared of his own accord before Just'ce
Manning, waived preliminary examina
tion and waa bound over to the District
Court.
Evans waa arraigned on two counts
sworn to by K. P. Atcheaon, vice-president
of the bank, one charging embez
zlement and the other falsifying the
records of the bank to cover shortages.
The bonds were fixed at X5000 on each
count. These were -furnished by Her
man Schultz, Joseph Schultz, Grant
Hobbe, William Tupper and Frank E.
Byrne.
Evans after release was rearrested on
five addlt'onal counts accusing him of
falsifying entries, but he was not re
quired to furnish new bonds. Bank at
torneys ara preparing six other com
plaints and the warrants on these will
be served tomorrow.
A peculiar feature of the case is that
Herman and Joseph Schultz and Hobbs,
bondsmen for Evansi are heavy stock
holders in tha bank which Evans is ac
cused of looting. The Schultzes are di
rectors of the bank, but as soon as they
learned Evans was to be arrested they
volunteered to go on his bonds for any
amount for which they could qualify.
Byrne, a prominent Kendrick merchant,
and Tupper. a wealthy farmer and de
positor in the bank, also volunteered.
Evans is a pioneer of Latah County.
Feeling runs' high in Kendrick and promi
nent business men there express the be

All manufacturers of sew
er pipe agree on one point,
which is that pipe for sanitary
sewers should be thoroughly
glazed both inside and out
side. If not so glazed it is
porous and unsanitary, if
properly glazed and rings
like a bell when tapped with
a hammer, you are buying
the world's standard for san
itary sewer work, for it is
salt glazed vitrified pipe.
