Form of Government Is Pro
: tected, Says Taft, Who
Defends Policy.
CANADIAN POSITION VIEWED
J2.T-Preident Says Germany Would
Have Kight to Invade or Exact
Indemnity From Dominion,
i
) but "ot to Rule It.
'. MONTCLA1 K, N. J., Nov. 27. The
Monroe Doctrine was strongly Indorsed,
Its relation to the present European
ar discussed and the declaration that
interference by the United States In
Mexico and Central American states has
liad nothing to do with that doctrine,
was made by ex-President Taft In an
address here tonight.
; These are some of the salient features
of his remarks:
4 The landing of troops in Canada by
enemies of Great Britain would not con
stitute a violation of the doctrine, but
n effort to establish a new form ol
government in case of victory would.
; Three Nations Self-Derendlng.
J There is little likelihood of the
ioliey's being pressed in Argentina,
.Brazil and Chile. These countries are
able to protect themselves, and they are
ao remote from the United States that
violation of the doctrine in respect to
them would not be harmful to this
eountrys" interests and safety.
The doctrine has not been applied in
Mexico because there is nothing In it
which requires the United States to
bring about peace in that country.
. "Watchful waiting," Mr. Taft said,
"was the term applied to the United
States' status, but, he went on, "we
have neither watched nor waited, hut
Iiave, in fact, most hastily intervened,
and thus find the present anarchy
charged as the logical consequence of.
ur policy."
' Maintenance of Doctrine Desired.
': Mr. Taft had much good to say about
the Monroe Doctrine, and expressed the
Jiope that it might not be abandoned.
"It has made for peace for 90 years,"
lie said. "Why will it not make for
peace in the next 100 years?" '
In taking up the proposition of Great
Britain's enemies landing troops in
Canada, Mr. Taft cited the stand of
Secretary Seward, taken when Spain
declared war on Chile. He announces
this country would not interfere as long
as one country did not seek to inflict
its government on the conquered people
Bar compel a permanent transfer of
their territory, nor resort to any other
unjustly oppressive measures.
Lawful Attack Permissible.
"It seems to me clear," Mr. Taft said,
"from the history which I have given
of the Monroe Doctrine and from Sec
retary Seward's declaration in, the war
between Chile and Spain, that a con
sistent pursuit of the policy would not
require us to object to any warlike
measures under the rules of lawful
war which Great Britain's enemies
might take against Canada.
. "Canada is already furnishing sub
stantial military aid to Great Britain
and to the allies. She has sent a body
of 33,000 well-equipped soldiers and is
preparing more and intending to send
them. On what theory, therefore, could
e justly object to Germany's taking
counter measures and carrying the war
into a country which is waging war
on her?"
Indemnity Believed Lawful.
: "All that the Monroe Doctrine would
consistently require of us. would be to
Insist that when the war was over, if
Germany was successful, she could not
take over the territory of Canada and
overthrow her government and estab
lish her own there, or take any oppres
sive measures which would have a
similar effect. Bat we could not ob
ject to her exacting an indemnity if
she were the victor."
Mr., Taft sees little danger of the
policy drawing this country Into trou
ble with a European nation soon, at
least, one reason being that the present
struggle abroad will leave them ex
hausted and therefore unlikely to begin
new hostilities.
Abandonment Thought Dangerous.
"Were we to abandon the Doctrine.'
lie continued, "and thus in effect notify
the European governments that, so far
aa our remonstrance or interposition
was concerned they might take posses
sion of Santo Domingo, of Haiti or of
any of the Central American republics,
rr fcf any South American republic that
might be disturbed by revolution and
that might give them some interna
tional excuse for intervention, it would
.be but a short time before we would
be forced into controversies that would
be more dangerous to the peace of this
hemisphere than our continued asser
tion of the Doctrine, properly under
stood and limited.
The "A. B. C." powers, he continued,
understood that this country does not
claim to exercise any suzerainty over
them and is not tendering its guard
ianship as if they needed it. He added
he. thought it would be a good thing
it tnese powers would join in uphold
ing the Doctrine, but a move in this
direction might cause jealousy and sus
licion among smaller South American
countries. As to such countries as
Haiti and Santo Domingo, Mr. Taft
said, the work of the United States
there in settling uprisings had been
that of a neighbor who sought to main
tain peace in the community.
SCRUTINY GIVEN BUDGET
Committee Takes No Decisive Ac
f
tion on Main features.
Estimates of funds needed by the
arious departments of Multnomah
County for 1915 were given close scru
tiny last night by the seven members
of the advisory budget committee at i
meeting at the Courthouse, but no de
cisive action was taken on any of the
recommendations as to the main fea
tures of the budget.
The committee will hold another
meeting Monday night, at which its
work will probably crystallize in the
recommendations which will he sub
mitted to the Board of County Commis
sioners for its guidance in making the
tax levy.
The remark of C. W. Hodson. that
"there is no such thing as a complete
inventory of the properties of Mult
nomah County," resulted in a decision
to recommend that an annual inventory
of county property be made.
GERMAN SUBMARINES LOST
Borne Ketnrn to Zeebrugge After
. Bombardment, Others Do Not.
LONDON, Nov. 27. Some new details
tof the bombardment of Zeebrugge, Bel-
glum, which the Germans were pre
paring: as a naval base, have reached
Ihe London newspapers.
The correspondent of the Express on
the Belgian frontier telegraphs that
refugees report that the first shell
thrown by the British warships on
Zeebrugge fell among the German sub
marines in the inner harbor. After 20
sailors had been killed or wounded, the
submarines were ordered to make a
dash for safety to the English Channel
and try to run the gauntlet of the
fleet.
Some of the submarines returned to
Zeebrugge, the correspondent lacon
ically remarks, and he adds that the
fate of the, others is unknown. In de
scribing the bombardment the corre
spondent of the Daily Mail at Amster
dam says:
"The German submarines in the har
bor basin hid- themselves below during
the bombardment in order to prevent
their destruction. When the warships
retreated they rose again and went in
pursuit, but soon returned."
RUSSIANS SINK GERMANS
CZAR'S SHIPS, DISGUISED AS THE
KAISER'S, KFFliCT COIP.
Cruiser Sent to Bottom on Spot, Others
Going Down After Kntering Kiel
Canal, Says Writer.
LONDON, Nov. 27. (Special.) The
correspondent of the Morning Post at
Petrograd telegraphs the following:
"I am in a position to tell such part
of the story as it is advisable to dis
close of a striking piece of naval work
by the Russian Baltic fleet, commanded
by Admiral von Essen. It must be
remembered that a number of German
war vessels put Into fhe Kiel Canal
with damages in some cases so serious
that the vessels actually sank in the
canal. Nothing official was ever al
lowed to become known of this Rus
sian exploit, nor can all the details be
told even now.
"German vessels had acquired the
habit of cruising about the Baltic up to
the limit which the Russian fleet had
decided to hold and were doubtless put
ting severe pressure on Sweden. Re
ceiving certain information. Admiral
von Essen painted several cruisers and
destroyers with the German colors and
contrived in foggy weather to join the
German ships. He was unsuspected till
too late. At a convenient moment he
opened fire and sank one German
cruiser and badly damaged another,
while the destroyers put in good work
on the Germans' smaller craft. After
this the Russian vessels went back
home untouched.
"The Germans naturally kept a dead
silence about the whole affair, which
was not only rather discreditable to
them from a purely naval point of view,
but involved other considerations still
more discreditable. The Russians kept
quiet about it for other reasons, but
purely as a piece of naval work it was
a highly creditable affair. A number
of the highly coveted St. George
Crosses were issued for this satisfac
tory little expedition. Admiral von
Essen can now count on getting every
ounce of efficiency out of the men un
der his command, so that the fleet as
a whole has gained considerably by
this clever adventure."
In connection with the foregoing
story, it is interesting to note a brief
statement, which was given out in Lon
don by the official news bureau on Sep
tember 4. The announcement was as
follows:
'According to information derived
from a trustworthy source, seven Ger
man destroyers and torpedo-boats have
arrived at Kiel ih a damaged condition,
and It is understood that others have
been sunk in the vicinity of the Kiel
Canal."

CHICAGO. Nov. 27. To free Bohemia
from the dual monarchy is the object
of a movement started by Bohemians
in America, it was announced here to
day. The leaders of the Bohemians will

ADVERTISING TALK NO. 16.
Not Only Within the Limits
of the City of Portland
Does The Oregonian Have
a Larger Circulation Than
Any Other Portland Paper
Of the 63,000 daily and 82,000 Sunday copies
delivered, thousands reach the small town resi
dent and farmers. Almost every farm has The
Oregonian delivered daily. The rural mailcarriers
deliver it to him. It reaches him generally before
noon. . ,
The Oregonian, in most instances, is the only
Portland daily paper the near-to-Portland farmer
sees. So, merchants who cater to the trade of
these farmers, and most of them do the bulk of
their trading in Portland, must advertise in The
Oregonian if they would influence this vast busi

LEGISLATORS TALK
OVER LOCAL ISSUE
State and County Problems
Threshed Out at Session of
Multnomah Delegation.
TAXATION CHANGE LIKELY
Discount for Early Payment May
Be Substituted for Present
Penalties Fewer Demands
for Money in Sight.
Much legislation, in which Multnomah
County Is particularly Interested and
some legislation in which the state is
generally interested received earnest
discussion by 15 members of the Mult
nomah County delegation of the next
Legislature at an informal meeting in
the state offices lc the Central building
last night.
It is the purpose of the Multnomah
legislators to meet every Monday night
until the Legislature convenes. The
public has been invited to attend all
meetings.
Present at last night's session were
Senators I. N. Day, Gus C. Moser, Rob
ert S. Farrell. Dr. T. L. Perkins, Arthur
Langguth and George "M. McBride, and
Representatives Conrad P. Olson. D. C.
Lewis, S. B. Huston, E. V. Littlefield.
Lloyd J. Wentworth, Ben Selling. S. B.
Cobb, Louis Kuehn and Plowden Stott,
Taxation Carefully Dlacnuaed.
Senator Moser presided. A resolution
was adopted making the election of
permanent officers a special order of
business for next Monday. - A commit
tee consisting of Senators Day and Per
kins and Representatives Cobb, Stott
and Lewis was appointed to report next
Monday a plan of procedure for the re
maining meetings.
Taxation and the proposed taxation
laws received much attention. Nearly
every member declared in favor of a
change. Representative Houston spoke
at length on this subject. He pointed
out that, while it is essential to relieve
the present burdens of the taxpayer, it
is necessary, cn the other hand, to pro
vide adequate funds at the first tax
paying period to operate the machinery
of government through the .first half of
tho year.
He asserted that the severe penalties
for delinquencies prescribed by the
present law should be removed, but in
sisted that some provision should be
made that will induce taxpayers to pay
more than half their taxes at the first
period. He suggested that a restoration
of the discount system might accom
plish this end, or that the law require
payment of 65 per cent of taxes at the
first period.
Discount Is Proposed.
Senator Farrell suggested that a dis
count of 3 per cent be allowed on all
taxes paid in addition to the amount
due at the first period.
Representative Olson urged the activ
ities of the Multnomah delegation be
limited to a consideration of measures
directly affecting the county. He de
clared that the Multnomah legislators
should not presume to recommend to
the rest of the state what action should
be taken on measures affecting the
state at large.
Senator Day declared, in opposition
to this view, that the delegation should
consider alL sorts -of measures likely to
be brought before the Legislature that
recommendations should be limited,
however, to those matters affecting
Multnomah County only, and that no
recommendations be made on the gen
eral state issues.
"This delegation can do much to
ward simplifying the work of the
Legislature," he declared. "In fact,
members from "other parts of the state
will look to us to take the lead in
some of these things."
Unused Money In Cited.
He pointed out that under the pres
ent system of making appropriations,
much money is authorized annually into
channels where It is not needed.
The state has a standing appropria
tion, he said, of $10,000 for experts to
instruct farmers in making fancy
cheese and $5000 annually for fighting
the bubonic plague. Neither of these
appropriations is used.
He declared also that under the pres
ent law many state boards and com
missions are allowed to collect funds
and expend them without reporting to
anyone excepting the Legislature. A
law should be passed, he said, that will
permit no expenditures unless they are
handled through the office of the Sec
retary of State.
He asserted that many state boards
and commissions can be consolidated.
The State Board of Health and the
State Hygienic Society are duplicating
effort, he added. The same is true of
the Industrial Accident Commission, the
Industrial Welfare Commission, the
Child Labor Commission and others do
ing similar work.
He expressed doubt also of the wis
dom of maintaining three members on
the Industrial Accident Commission.
One Commissioner with executive au
thority and a number of salaried ex
perts can do the worlt better, he said,
than three Commissioners of equal
authority.
"The trouble with these high-salaried
officers," he said, "is that each of them
needs a stenographer. He generally
wants a chief clerk to do the work
while he himself is out playing poli
tics." -
Senator Perkins, who was chairman
of the ways and moans committee of
the last session, explained how appro
priations can be kept at a minimum at
the coming' session.
Representative Cobb warned his col
leagues against making too bold pre
dictions on a so-called economy pro
gramme. "We ought to let our deeds speak for
themselves." he urged. "We should not
publish to the world that we are going
to cut a wide swath and then fail to
live up to our promises."
' - "By Rrqnnf Bills Not Liked.
Representative Littlefield discouraged
the introduction of bills "by request."
If the member who introduces a meas
ure cannot stand back of it on its own
merits, he said, the state should not
be put to the expense of having it
printed, put through committees and
brought onto the floor of either house i
to the neglect of Important legisla
tion. The sense of the meeting was that no
"by request" bills will be considered by
the Multnomah delegation unless they
are presented in the complete form in
which thev are to be introduced.
Senator Day further presented the !
necessity of enacting legislation that '
will prevent frauds in initiative and
referendum proceedings and in recall J
elections.
"What about the electric chair?"
asked Senator Farrell.
He was reminded that the people
have voted to abolish capital punish
ment, but he took the stand that the
recent vote was only on the question of
eliminating hanging as a form of the
death penalty. He intimated that steps
may be-taken to substitute the electric
chair for the noose that the people
have discarded.
Senator Moser pointed out that many
special appropriations that were nec
essary at the last session will be miss
ing at the coming session. Among them
he enumerated (450,000 for the Tumalo
irrigation project, $50,000 for the Des
chutes power site investigation. $175.-
000 for the Panama-Pacific exposition.
$400,000 for new buildings at the State
University, and several others.
Fewer Expenses la Sight.
Representative Olson reported that
an aggregate of $1,400,000 was appro
priated at the last session for special
purposes. There will be no similar de
mands this time, he said.
Senator-elect Langguth wanted to
know what disposition will bo made of
the $450,000 appropriated for the
Tumalo project when it is paid back
to the settlers, and whether it can't
be used for further reclamation enter
prises.
The plan of using this money as a
revolving fund was suggested by some
members, but Senator Day reminded
them that the coming session will not
have the problem to deal with, inas
much as farmers on the Tumalo tract
will not be able to make any return
payments to the state for a good many
years.
Consolidation Is Considered.
"The fund will not revolve with any
such rapidity as to make anyone dizzy,"
he said.
Representative Stott asked what
plans are being made for city and coun
ty consolidation. Representative Olson
pointed out that the measure seeking
that end was defeated at the recent
election. The Legislature only can re
fer another measure, he pointed out.
Representative Lewis urged tho ear
nest consideration of plans that will
make it possible for Portland to merge
with various contiguous municipalities.
It is probable that this subject will ba
given early attention.
As soon as the permanent organiza
tion Is effected at next Monday's meet
ing it is probable that sub-committees
will be named to handle the details of
proposed legislation.
AMERICAN SHIP FIRED ON
BRITISH CRUISER SHOOTS IN VI.
CINITV OF" PANAMA CANAL.
Vessel Delayed Three Hoars While
' Examination la Made Action Is
Permitted by War Rain.
PANAMA, Nov. 27. The American
steamship St. Helens, Captain Odland,
which sailed from New York November
17 for San Francisco, arrived at Colon
today and reported that she had been
fired on by the British cruiser Berwick.
An officer from tho cruiser boarded
the St. Helens and examined her papers
and cargo and then the vessel was
permitted to proceed on her voyage
alter a delay of three hours.
Captain Odland said that his ship
was hailed, but apparently failed to
heave to as quickly as was expected,
with the result that the British cruiser
fired two shots across the stern of the
American vessel. The incident occurred
yesterday at a point 90 miles north
west of Colon.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. While no
official report of the firing by the Brit
ish cruiser Berwick toward the Ameri
can steamer St. Helens off Panama had
been received here tonight, Stata De
partment officials regard the incident
as not unusual in time of war.
Merchantmen, according to naval
procedure, are expected to heave to
immediately on demand of belligerent
warships or promptly signal their in
tention of submitting to search. If
there is any delay the customarv nrac-
tlce is to fire a shot across the bow or
stern of the merchantman aa a warn
ing. The right of search is generally rec
ognized by neutrals and delays of three
hours while cargo and papers are be
ing examined are not unusual. The
belligerent is even authorized to use
torce in executing the right of search
ana is not held liable, according to in
ternational law authorities, for dam
ages resulting from resistance by i
neutral ship.

Peace," Which Would Expose
Genius of Nation to Fresh
Insults, Not Desired.
PARIS, Nov. 28. President Poincare
has conferred on General Joffre the
medaille militaire, the highest honor
that can be conferred on a French sol
dier. The presentation was made In
the presence of Premier Viviani, Min
ister of War Millerand, the Presidents
of the Senate and the Chamber of Dep
uties and the members of the general
staff.
In making.the presentation President
Poincare said the Blmple medal, which
was the emblem of the highest military
virtues and which was worn with equal
pride by illustrious Generals and hum
ble soldiers, was a mark of the na
tion's gratitude to its commander-in-chief.
M. Poincare added that he asso

ulations General Joffre's devoted col
laborators of the general staff and the
magnificent armies of France.
Causes to Be Abolished. '
"The horrors of this sanguinary
war," M. Poincare continued, "will not
dampen the enthusiasm of the troops.
The grievous losses suffered by the na
tion will not disturb its constancy nor

that to avoid its recurrence she must,

The presidential party afterward left

The medalle mllitire was established
in 1852 for non-commissioned officers
and men of the army and navy. An
exception was made in the case of a
General or Admiral for valorous work
after such officers already have at

of Honor. It is therefore considered
the greatest honor that can be con
