It waa decided to request officers of
the Associated Press and of the Ameri
can Publishers' Association to appear
Uooday to answer some) question regard
ing the matters under consideration.
Joseph H. Allen, of tha firm of Allen
St Graham, of New York, employed to
oonduct tha fight being made against

acknowledged that M. Wood, president
of the American Woolen Company: Ar
thur C. Hasting, president of the Amer

the International Paper Company and
Leonard Hronaon. general managvr of

IobbyUts K xpert Payment.
TV. U Graham, of thla firm, while he
admitted he waa not connected with a
law firm at all. notwithstanding tha
statement of W. M Hull, master of tha
Michigan Grange, that It waa employed
as tha farmers' legal advisers, waa asked
If any Interests other than the Na
tional Grange contributed.
"We hare been promised nothing." ha
replied, "but we do expect that any
manufacturer who la Interested In thla
matter and who appreclatea what are
doing will pay ns for our work; Jf they
do. we wl!l be glad to take It,
Senator Williams asked Mr. Allen how
It waa that. If Ma firm had not dona
anything a 1th the lumber people or
paper Interests. Messrs. Lyon. Bronson
and Hastings had offered to contribute
to the cause.
"It waa voluntary on their part, re
plied Mr. Alien, He added that Ms firm
would receive a contribution from any
body who felt like contributing.
When Mr. C rah am declined to answer
Senator stone aa to whether his firm
was to tx paid for Ita work by any per
sons other than tha National Orange,
considerable controversy arose aa to
whether Mr. Oraham should be com
pelled to answer.
Many IntrreeU Kntploy Firm.
It ended by giving Mr. Graham Ma
discretion, aa Senator titone said bis
Questions were not for the purpose of
discrediting the National Grange aa aa
organisation, but to ascertain If any
of Ita officers were using It in the name
of the farmers to promote special In
terests which the National body bad
never considered.
Mr. Graham acknowledged bis firm
had been employed In the past by manu
facturing concerns to farther or oppose
legislation. He Inatanced the good
roads movement. In which he aald the
pay came from automobile manufac
turers and carriage-makers, and the
fleht against denatured alcohol, when
the pay came from a manufacturers'
fund contributed by the distillers' asso
ciation and several furniture maker.
"IMd you ask manufacture or sug
gest to them that they contribute to the
expenses of the campaign against recip
rocity?" asked Stone.
-To such as came to me." said Mr.
Alien. "I told them It would be a hard
fight: but up to date only one manu
facturer actually has given money."
Mr. Allen denied that he waa con
nected In any war with the American
Protective Tariff League, but aald the
league had asked hlin for the namea
ft the Orange masters. Thla request
was referred to Mr. Bachelder and re
fused, lialllnger then aald he bad
furnished tbe league with a partial list.
r row peels Not Inviting.
Mr. Allen aald the agreement with,
the GranKe aa to pay was "not very In
viting" and that they would be glad to
get out with a deficit.
Replying to a question by Kern be
said tbe tirange will pay the expenses
of the campaign and a compensation.
"You mean, do you not." aald Smoot,
"that at present your expenses hsve run
about J00O behind what you have re
eel vedT
"Tea, that waa the deHclt." waa the
reply.
N. J. Bachelder. president of the Na
tional Grange. aJmltted having em
ployed Allen and OjAhara and was
asked many questions "y Stone to show
that the membership of the Grange waa
shrinking, but evaded direct answers.
He admitted having consulted Allen et
Graham on legislation.
Yoc considered them skillful In
manipulating legislative bodies"1 asked
Mr. Stone.
"In securing what we wanted." waa
the rerly.
"And yon emr'oyed men generally
known as lobbyists?" asked Senator
terone, "and who are under the employ
of other - . trusts'"
-We did not ask them who else they
were working fur." said Mr. Bachelder.

PARALYSIS YIELDS TO
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
Many Forms of the Dread Disease Are
Curable by this Remedy.
taR. LUCAS SAYS IT SAVED HIS LIFE
This Cleveland Man Was Getting Worse All the Time
When He Began the Treatment, but Improvement
Quickly Followed Bead His Grateful Statement.
Fresh proof la furnished almost dally
of the wonderful power of Er. Williams"
Pink Pills for Pale People In tbe treat
ment of the most severe nenroue dis
order. No claim la made for the treat
ment that la not substantiated by proof
that la open to the most rigid lnvestl
gaion and the evidence It Indisputable
that there are many forma of paralysis
that are readily curable by these tonlo
plus. In cases that are not entirely
curable the use of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills often results In such radical Im
provement that life la onoe more made
worth living to the formerly hopeless
sufferer.
The evidence upon which the claims
of thla remedy la baaed Is not confined
to a aingle cure. All over the United
Statea there are men and women going
about their dally occupations with little
or no Inconvenience, who, before taking;
the treatment, had been declared be
yond the help of medicine. No suf
ferer from a severe nervous disorder
who has not tried Dr. Williams' pink
Pills should abandon hops for tha
remedy that has brought about theae
marvelous results for others Is surely
entitled to a thorough trial.
The La tear! Erie
The most recent case to come to pub
lic attention la that of Mr. D. L. Lucas,
of No. 2181 East lOlrd street Cleveland.
Ohio, a man well known In real estate
circles In that city. Ha bad a remark
able escape from death as Is shown by
the following statement:
"My trouble started with a stomach
disorder, but I believe that malarial
poisoning waa the original cause and
this was the opinion of the doctors
who attended me. Creeping paralysis
finally resulted from tbe broken down
condition of my health and I came very
near to death. During; the greater part
of my aickness I could get about the
bouse by holding on to articles of fur
niture but at tlmea was confined to my
beet,
Ltsaba Were ekrvakesu
"The paralysis came on slowly but
was never complete. I bad trouble with
my kidneys and my liver was torpid all
tbe time. My lower limbs shrunk per
ceptibly. I suffered some with shooting
pains, my appetite was feeble and I was
altogether In a terrible condition,
"When tbe diaeaae was at Ita worst I
called my wife to my bedside and told
her that I was getting worse all the
time and If I kept on In this way there
would be no help for me. I bad taken
Dr. William' Pink PUIS for Pale Peo
ple some time before and been bene
fited and I told her I thought that If I
gave them a thorough, persistent trial
they would do me good. She agreed
with me and I started taking the pills.
After a few doaea I saw that the medi
cine waa helping me and I continued
the treatment, following the directions
closely and observing; strictly the In
structions regarding diet and bathing.
Can Jw Walt Agmla,
"The improvement In my condition
continued and I took the plUa for eight
months when I waa able to get about,
and could walk any reasonable distance.
I know that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People saved my life. My shrunken
limbs are now restored to their normal
condition and I am nearly tree from the
pains and tha kidney and llrer compli
cations.
Oplalos ef a pftyaleiaaw
"I know that If I bad not taken the
pills I would not be here today and to
abow that this Is not my opinion only
I will say that I recently met In a busi
ness way. In one of the hotela of Cleve
land, an eminent physician, tbe chief
executive of a fraternal order of which
I am a member. I described to him the
treatment I had taken and be asked
me what bad caused my paralysis. I
aald. Indigestion.' Ths doctor was
much Interested and addressing a sub
ordinate In tbe order be said: 1 want
you to meet Mr. Lucas. He la a living,
walking- testimonial to tha efficiency
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After all
be baa rone through It la a wondsr be
Is alive.' This was a great deal for a
physician to say and confirms what I
barn stated absolutely."

Mr. Lucas should convince the moat

cures by Dr. William' Fink Pills for
Pale People are ao marvelous as to

EARNINGS TAX OPPOSED
MR. HILD SATS REDCCTIOX
WOULD BE DELATED.
Burden of 19 Per Cent on Frenvnt
Gros Income Declared All Com
pany Can Bear.'
Figures ware given In an address by
General Manager Hlld, of the Portland
Railway. Light Power Company, be
fore the Portland Ad Club yesterday In
support of hi contention that the I per
cent gross tax proposed to be placed en
power and light companies would create
sucb a burden that further reductions
of rates would be Impossible. The
weekly luncheon of the Ad Men yestsr.
day was attended by more than lot
members. The menu fas a facsimile
of the first edition of Tbe Dally Orego
nlan. published In 1SS1. The speakera
beside Mr. Hlld were Edgar B. Piper,
managing editor of The Oregonlan. and
B. K. Irvine, associate editor of the Ore
gon Journal.
Mr. Hlld OlSCUSSea in no-eoen-uw-
rtde" ordinance and aald that ne more
Impracticable thing- could bavs been
suggested. Ha said be felt that the
people were desirous of securing effi
cient service, and efficient service con
sisted of a speedy delivery of the pas
aenger from hla borne to the place of
his business. In bis Judgment .the ordi
nance would be the greatest disturbing
factor of retail business that could be
devised, for it meant delay, the length
ening of schedules and unnecessary In
convenience. "The one factor which we are moat
vitally Interested In le the 6 per cent
rress tax upon light and power compa
nies." he said. ' "The Portland Railway.
Light Power Company pays more
taxes than any other company In Port
land. It paid last year SS.:21. This
representa 1JV. per cent gross tax on
the earnings of the company, the larg
est, I believe, to be found anywherct
Out of this sum IJO.000 Is paid to the
city for bridge rentals. Portland is one
of the few cftles In the country where
bridge rer.taUs are paid. The bridges
are for the use of the taxpayers, and.
Inasmuch as we are the beavlest tax
pavers, that we should be compelled to
pay thla additional burden for the use
of the brldgea is hardly fair. In our
ludsrmect.
New Orleana pays 7H Per cent on
gross earnings. In St. Louis the tax
paid amounts to 6. per cent on the
gross: In Baltimore it Is per cent, and
In Washington 6 per cent, while Toledo,
O, paya per cent. I cite tbeas facta
purely to show yoa that the company
I represent Is now paying more taxes
than any other company within my
knowledge, and the burden Is now all
mil we can stand. If you expect ex
tension and betterments and the de
velopment of the property la keeping
with the growth of the city, certainly
you should not put burdens upon us that
would prevent the company from giving
you these thinga you want. We ba.ee
been borrow lr.jf money for five J" ear a. ,
Tbe company haa taken in 621.000,000
and baa expended 640.000.000. We can be
taxed so that we cannot borrow any
more."
The club went on record as opposed
to both the "no-seat-no-rlde" ordlnsnce
and to the 6 per cent gross tax. as well.
Edgar B. Piper treated In a humorous
vela the frequent advice received on
how a paper abould be run. and conclud
ed with reminiscences pertaining to tha
facslmllie of The Oregonlan published
la 1661. He pointed out that tbe aame
names. In many cases, were found In the
advertisements of the merchants In the
issue of 1861 as can be found In The
Orea-onlan of today. He referred to H.
L. Plttock's long terra of management
of Tbe Ore iron lan. He said be felt that
in a aense The Oregonlan typified Port
land to a larger degree than any other
Institution.
B. F. Irvine told several stories and-
paid a high tribute to the Ad Club.
HOME RULE LAW JOLTED
(Continued Prom First Pare.)
the sale of liquor for beverage purposes
In ths town.
Cities and Counties Divorced.
The court In deciding this case calls
attention to the easy method In which
the constitution may be changed, say
ing that It is as easy to amend the cone
stltution under the Initiative as It Is to
psaa a statute, and consequently such
amendments, so passed, should. In the
opinion of the court, be liberally In
terpreted. It Is held that tbe amendment ao
chances the organic law as to divorce
municipalities from the county of
which they form a part. "In effect,
separating political entries with respect
to each other (Tabor v. Landor, 64 Ky,
2S7. 24J.) in all of which the local op
tion law may be put Into effect In the
same manner and to the aame extent
that It was formerly employed In the
entire county. In a subdivision thereof,
or In a precinct therein."
It la believed that the exclusive power
to license or prohibit the sale of In
toxicating liquors, which purports to
be vested In tbe Incorporated cities and
town having been expressly made
subject to tbe provisions of the local
option law Is necessarily governed by
all auch local option provisions so far
aa applicable.
Election Is Mandatory.
In changing mn order for or
against prohibition. a petition
therefor should be presented to the
County Court, which should order an
election to be held to determine the
question, notwithstanding tbe phrase,
"within the limits" of the municipality
is used In ths amendment.
"In view of thla conclusion." con
tinues the decision. "It is unnecessary
to determine whether or not the last
alteration of the organic act Is self
..viiiin. In that it rinea not reoulre
any legislation to carry the amend
ment Into effect-"
Justice Burnett, in speclslly concur
ring, says that he agrees with the
conclusions of Justice iioore, nut uia-j

This court decided that this amend

regulation even within the limits of the
municipality. The people, speaking for
the third time, have crystallized the
law aa thus declared Into constitu
tional form and have not only repeated
the very woras moj oaa
have aleo particularly specified by the
name the local option law as one of
those to which every municipality

not stultified themselves, but have
spoken in the same way every time on

be obeyed. For these reasons the
judgment should be affirmed."

In the case of the State of Oregon
