PARTY PROGRAMME ISSUE
.Republican Election I,aws Find Foes
Which May fnitc tn Demands,
but registration Sliortage Is
Serious Obstacle Discovered.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. March 18. Spe
rial.) If nemocrats. Progressives, la
bor leaders and heads of the State
Grange and farmers' unions can. within
the next week or ten days, set together
and decide upon a satisfactory Joint
programme. Washington will have Its
first referendum experience iimucu.
Active workers of the groups named
aic agreed that before the SO days
aiting period elapses, some effort
should be made to capture anu t. . j
off to the prize court of the next gen
eral riectiuu Mine member or mem
bers of tho flotilla of 200-odd bills set
adrift by the Legislature. Democrats
arc inclined to favor action only on
.rh r these as the Governor already
bas icclarcd contraband by use of the
Tito.
Tfit-w Bills May Be Pot to Vote.
In Spokane a meeting- of Democratic
and progressive chiefs tentatively de
cided to center referendum efforts on
one measure. House bill 120. requiring
initiative and referendum petitions to
be kept at registration offices for sign
ing. Another element desires to in
clude House bill 178. making the same
requirements as to recall petitions, and
fc.iiato bill prescribing lesral party
conventions and binding candidates to
snpnort party platforms. These three
bills were vetoed by the Governor on
the same day and passed over his veto
the following day.
A group of Seattle enthusiasm, aside
from referring these measures, also
would Include the jitney bus bill, re
quiring a $2300 surety bond from oper
ators, which also was repassed over
the Gubernatorial veto, and the Seattle
port district bill, which Governor Lis
ter approved.
Measure llnuini Jitney, Is View.
The effect of the jitney bus bill, it is
decided, will be to put these vehicles
out of commission in first-class cities,
as surety companies will not write the
business. The port district bill frankly
is intended to curb the present elective
commission of three by appointment of
four cx-officio members.
Efforts are being made now to reach a
satisfactory agreement as to which bills
will be referred. Although under the
constitution backers of a referendum
movement have until June 10 to file
petitions, in reality little more than 60
oays will be allowed for the procuring
of 1!.Ui2 valid names, as after a copy
of tho bill to be referred is filed, the
Attorney-General Is given 10 days to
formulate a ballot title. .
One of the obstacles the opponents
of tlic laws will have to overcome is
the shortage of registration at this time
of the year.
Registration Until Short.
In the city of Spokane, where there
rc approximately 30.000 voters, only
a little more than io are registered
now. There has been a considerable
early registration in Seattle, on the
other hand, and to this city the back
ers of the referendum movement prob
ably will have to look for the bulk of
thWr signatures.
IScfore leaving the capital Democratic
members of the legislature sent a tele
gram to State Chairman Fogarty, urg
ing him to make the vetoed election
bills party measures.
What attitude prohibitionists should
take In the fight on the efforts to refer
the initiative and referendum bill is a
question that is causing: some agitation
in their ranks.
Trade mt Votes Reported.
Oeorge 1. Conger, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, in a Spokane
interview, is quoted as favoring the
new law on tile ground that It will
make it practically impossible for the
wets to initiate a new liquor bill.
Mr. Conger is further quoted as say
ing that he traded dry votes to the Re
publican organization 1 pass the initia
tive and referendum measure, in return
for the organization action In keeping
the liquor bills off the floor this an
nouncement cominjr as a surprise to
oome members of the organization who
mere unaware of any such trade.

WAR FOUND LITTLE HELP
Kockefcllor Institute Surgeon Says
Pew Facts Are Bared.
PAItlS. March S. Correspondence of
tho Associated Press.) Dr. Alexia r-
rel. of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, who has had excep
tional facilities for observation of the
workings of the sanitary department at
the front and in the different hospitals,
in a statement to the Associated Press,
asserted that thus far surgeons have
not learned much from tho war. Some
preconceived notions of the effect of
modern projectiles have been exploded,
however, he said.
At the beginning of the war the the
ory was credited that the greater speed
of bullets, creating intense heat, would
cauterize the wound and prevent infec
tion. The speed of the bullet at the
point of contact, however, varied with
the range of fire and at long range its
reduced speed was insufficient to cre
ate the necessary heat.
When all conditions were favorable,
the bullet wound was less serious than
formerly, but in this war the conditions
seldom are favorable. The consequence
is the infection of the vast majority of
wounds the worst case being caused
by shrapnel. Anti-tetanus serum has
been quite effective.
The organization and working or me
Banitarv demirtment. Dr. Carrel said.
was efficient and the general health of
the .French army excellent. The men on
the fighting line, in spite' of the hard
ships they endure in the trenches, are in
superb physical condition and there nas
been an entire absence of epidemics.
The use of the anti-typhoid serum was
a preventive, not a curative, measure
as the army In trie rtem nas not sui
fered from typhoid.
The proportion of soldiers succumb
ing to. their wounds in the hospitals is
regarded small considering the difficul
ties offered by the general infection of
wounds.
Dr. Carrel spoke highly of the Amer
ican hospital at Neuilly and Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney's hospital at Juilly, both
of which aro recognized by tho French
as superior in organization and admin
istration to the French hospitals. The
services of the American nurses are
particularly appreciated.

GRANGE HAS LOAN PLAN
rOMOJf.t CAMPAIGN STARTED FOR
RURAL CREDIT SYSTEM.
Resolutions Provide Method to Aid
farmer at, Un Rate of Interest.
Land Office Is Organised.
Multnomah County Pomona Grange
at tlresham Wednesday adopted resolu
tions favoring a rural credit system for
farmers that will provide long-time
loans at a low rate of interest. The
grange Inaugurated what it is hoped
will be a state-wide National campaign
tor this system.
The first set of resolutions, intro
duced by W. H. H. Dufur, provides
that tho state shall issue non-interest
bearing bonds to the general Govern
ment, which shall loan to the farmers
the cash represented by these bonds
at not more, than 3 per cent interest
to run G. 10, 15, 20. 2 J or 50 years.
The money would be loaned on the 50
per cent valuation of farm property,"
and the state would handle the money
through a land office.
The second plan, indorsed by the
Masters' and Lecturers' Association,
makes the postal saving fund the
source of supplying farmers witii long
time loans at 4 per cent. According to
this plan, the postal saving fund shall
be loaned to the farmers of the coun
try. To accumulate a sufficient sum,
the deposit, now limited to $100. shall
be increased to J1000. This plan pro
poses that the money shall be loaned
through the land office.
Since both plans will require Con
gressional action the Grange declared
it would not support candidates for
Congress unless they pledge them
selves to support some rural credit
system. Representatives to the Stats
Grange from .Multnomah County will
bring before that body both resolu
tions. The measures were discussed by W.
H It. Dufur. Koy Gill. IL E. Davis,
T. J. Kreuder, C. H. Welch, H. A. Dar

JITNEY'SVALUE S338,829
TRAFFIC EXGIKKER REPORTS ON
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY".
Appraiaal on 307 Automobiles la Serv
ice Fixes Average at 683 Four
Trucks Worth 4S00 Each.
Financial responsibility of jitney au
tomobiles and buses is shown in an
appraisal of all the jitneys In Portland,
completed yesterday by Municipal
Traffic Engineer Kirkpatrlck. The re
port shows that there are 307 automo
biles of an average value of $692.28
each, four trucks worth $4800 each,
three other trucks worth $3000 each
and 3 trucks worth I1S25 each. This
makes a total of 350 jitneys in all, of
a total value of $338,829.96.
The appraisal was made by En
gineer Kirkpatrick from reports he has
gathered on all jitneys. He has a
record now of the ape and condition,
the make and a history of every car
in the service. In compiling the fig
ures he appraised the old cars on the
invested value minus the yearly depre
ciation and on cars of the latest modtsl
he used the full market value.
"It is only fair to assume the amount
Invested in the cars." says Engineer
Kirkpatrlck in his report, "represents
the major portion of the total Invest
ment in the Jitney service, as I believe
few of the operators have any invest
ment in garages, shops and plants. In
this connection it is well to consider
the fact that a large portion of the
above figures on the total investment
is not in reality Invested by the car
operators, but is being carried by va
rious firms holding chattel mortgages
against the cars now operating.
"The individual Investment in these
cars is small and. In the event of an
accident of serious nature, it would be
difficult to establish liability."
