WOMEN POLICE SCORED
Frogress-ives Declared Ready to Kc
turn to Republicans and Suc-
cess Is Predicted Job of
Executive Found Easy.
Jay E. House, self-styled "bad" man,
of Topeka, Kan., who arrived in Port
land yesterday en route Kast from a
visit at the San Francisco fair, pre
sents the unique but refreshing ex
ample of a Mayor who not only takes
care of the executive chair of his home
city, but at the same time conducts
the sporting and dramatic departments
of the Topeka Capital, and in addi
tion writes a special column for that
newspaper.
The job of Mayor is easy, Mr. House
eays.
"I take care of the Mayor's office
six hours of the day and take the re
mainder of the time to do my news
paper work." said Mr. House last night,
"and I don't find half the grief in my
duties as executive that I have in my
experience as a reporter."
-n Yrarit Before State Dry, Ix Vicvr.
"You know." said Mr. House, "I was
afraid you were going to interview me
on the question of prohibition. I got
myself in bad in Kansas by an inter
view which I gave out to a Los An
geles paper two years ago on that sub
ject. I told the truth about it and
when I got back all the rabid prohibi
tionists in the state were hunting me
and there were no game laws to protect
me, either."
Mr. House said it would probably be
20 years before Oregon had real pro
hibition and enforced the prohibition
laws to the letter.-
"It took us 30 years in Kansas," he
said.
When Mr. House was elected Mayor
of Topeka last Spring he appointed
the paragraph -writer on one of the
newspapers Chief of Police and for
the position of Police Judge he se
lected a poet.
Polimvomen Found Failures.
What did him the most good, how
ever, he declared, was the discharging
of the policewomen who had been in
stalled in the city. Police matrons, he
admitted, were all right, but police
women with their uniforms and stars
and clubs he declared did not tend to
produce law and order.
Mr. House said that he was the pro
verbial bad man of Topeka because of
the fact that he had attacked many of
the existing "sacred" institutions in
that city.
"When 1 was elected Mayor last
Ppring." he said, "I was . opposed by.
the women's clubs and the civic organ
izations and everything which pur
ported to represent law and order."
"My wife refused to come with me
on this trip." said Mr. House, "because
she contends that I can't stay still in
one place long enough to enjoy myself.
I have only been married four years
and consequently I still do pretty much
as my wife says. That is' the reason 1
ppell out my first name, because she
Insists that 1 do. Maybe I'll break away
later on."
Republican Success Predicted.
Mr. House predicted that Kansas
would back the Republican party
strongly in the coming election.
"There is a tendency there, and I
tliinK it is all over the country," he
paid, "for the Progressives to flop
back into line r.nd again support the
principles of the old party."
Mr. House predicted that the Repub
licans would have an easy victory.
-with the possible exception of in the
Presidential race. That, he said, would
be a close contest from present indica
tions. Wilson he believed is 20 per
cent stronger than he was a year ago.
Mr. House plans to be in Portland
two days and will then resume his
journey East.

MORE BONDS ABE
REJECTED BY STATE
Securities Offered on Lease
of Salt Lakes Found
'Not Marketable.'
EASTERNER IS NOTIFIED
Land Board Has $10,000 Deposit
and Calls for $15,000 "When New
York Bank Makes Adverse Re
port on Railroad Mortgage.
SALEM, Or.. Oct. 20. (Special.) Fif
teen thousand dollars in securities of
fered by Jason Moore to the state to
insure the faithful performance of the
terms of his lease of Summer and Abert
Lakes, were rejected today by the State
Land Board, and Mr. Moore was noti
fied by telegraph that other securities
more satisfactory would have to be
furnished.
Rejection of the securities offered by
Moore came following the receipt this
morning by the Board of a telegram
from, the National Park Bank of New
York, which said that the securities
were "not marketable." Moore already
has tlO.000 on deposit with the State
Treasurer as part of the $25,000 bond
required by the Board for the carrying
out of the terms of the lease.
With the receipt of the notification
from the New York bank that the se
curities submitted to the Board were
not marketable. Governor Withycombe,
Treasurer Kay and Secretary of State
Olcott met 'and decided to reject them.
Then a telegram was immediately dis
patched to Moore, who is now in New
York, informing him that he would
have to furnish new securities of a
satisfactory kind.
Moore Says Securities Good.
The securities offered by Moore were
scanned first by the State Land Board
at its meeting last Monday. They con
sisted of $15,000 in general mortgage
6 per cent 20-year gold bonds of the
Port Reading Company of New Jersey.
"Interest on these bonds." said Moore
in his communication, "has been regu
larly paid since their issue in 1910. The
company is in good standing, with large
land and water terminals owned at
Port Reading, adjoining the main line
of the Jersey Central Railway and
Philadelphia & Reading Railway."
Though reticence was maintained by
the Board members at the Monday
meeting, intimations were given out at
the time that evidence had been placed
before them which caused them to ex
ercise precaution before finally accept
ing the securities. That Moore's past
record was being looked into was in
timated, and the advice of Attorney
General Brown concerning certain
phases of the lease was requested. The
Attorney-General has not yet completed
the results of his investigations.
Moore met with the Land Board about
a month ago, and at that time the
Board told himto submit satisfactory
securities so as to bring his bond up
to $25,000. At that meeting Moore, with
Attorney Sheppard. of Portland, showed
the Board members samples of salts
which he said had been extracted from
the waters of Summer and Abert lakes.
The samples were in glass jars, and
Moore declared that he had obtained
them after shipping quantities of water
from the lakes back to a plant in New
York, where the salts had been ex
tracted by electrolytic process. Moore
made a very convincing talk and in
duced the Board to grant him time in
which to complete his $25,000 bond.
Moore. Situation Xot Known.
Moore told the Board then something
of the nature of the securities which
he intended to offer, but no inquiry of
their worth was made until this week,
after he had formally advised them of
what the securities consisted.
Whether Moore can obtain other se
curities of a satisfactory kind is not
known here, but Moore himself, when
here a month ago, declared that be
cause of the war and the general con
ditions of the market, it was difficult
for him to raise the required bond.

"Fifteen bushels of corn to the acre
will pay the cost of production under
ordinary conditions. All above this
may. therefore, be added to the cost
of clean tillage or Summer fallow as
net profits. A conservative estimate of
yields on lands that are now in Sum
mer fallow every third year Is 30 bush
els an acre. Records of this year's
yields in every section of the country
warrant the above estimate. In fact
many fields that have but recently
adopted a suitable rotation are yielding
from 35 to 50 bushels an acre.
"Besides changing a year of total
loss to a profit, a rotation of corn,
clover and grain will double the yield
of grain. Greater yields mean greater
economy of production, and, therefore,
greater net returns."

BREAK YOURSELF OF
THE LAXATIVE HABIT
LAXATIVES and cathartics cause more constipation
than they cure. Nujol is the modern treatment for
constipation. It conforms in all essentials to the require
ments of the mineral oil treatment as prescribed by its
discoverer. Sir William Arbuthnot Lane.
Nujol is odorless and tasteless, absolutely neutral, and is
not digested or absorbed into the system. It acts merely
as a mechanical lubricant.
Nujol is not a drug. Its use will not give quick, tempor
ary relief. But Nujol is a genuine remedy in that it re
lieves constipation in the most natural way by lubricating
the lining of the intestines, softening the intestinal con
tents, and thus promoting healthy and normal bowel
activity.
