ANOTHER BELIEVED SEEN Tenton Warship "VI net a Said to Be Off Bahal Blanco Brazilian Minister of Marine Does Not Credit . S.torlesr BUENOS AIRES. Argentina, Jan. 23. La Prensa publishes a dispatch from Rio Janeiro Baying that, according to a cablegram received at Pernambuco, the British cruiser Glasgow has sunk a German commerce raider 120 miles off Para. No details are given. Unverified reports were received to day in maritime circles at Montevideo, Uruguay, that the German cruiser "Vlneta had been sighted at sea off Bahia Blanca, Argentina. Early- reports of the raid of a Ger man commerce destroyer in the South Atlantic Ocean said that the unidenti fied raider might be the Vlneta. but this has not been confirmed. RIO JANEIRO. Brazil, Jan. 22. The Minister of Marine said today that he had received no confirmation of the re port that the British cruiser Glasgow had sunk a German commerce raider, and that he did not credit It. The Minister said he had reason to believe that the two merchant vessels and two auxiliaries reported as having been sighted off the northern coast of Brazil were British vessels which were operating outside territorial waters. Earlier press reports were to the ef fect that these vessels, some of which were said to be flying the American flag, were German raiders. The Ma rine Ministry has ordered the estab lishment of a patrol by cruisers off the coast between Pernambuco and Maran hao and has detailed another warship to assist in this work. Referring to a rumor that the crew of the German gunboat Eber had made Its escape, the Minister said he regard ed it as untrue. EXPLOITS CAUSE JOY IX BERLIS . Naval Critic Says British Boasts Are Proved Unfounded. LONDON, Jan. 22. German rejoicing over the exploits of the commerce raider in the South Atlantic is un bounded, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Times. Captain Persius, the German naval critic, writing in the Tageblatt. . recalls that when German destroyers "carried out attacks in the English Channel and at the mouth of the Thames in October and November, Arthur Balfour, then secretary of the navy, assured the House of Commons that the British guard service would be so careful In the future that the Germans would never venture to under take such dangerous expeditions again." Captain Persius says that Sir Ed ward Carson has been unable to justify Mr. Balfour's assertion and maintains that "German light forces have made several attacks in British waters and the Moewe II. a big above-water ship, successfully passed the British advance guard and reached the Atlantic." The Times correspondent says that the chief of the German Admiralty staff, when congratulating Lieutenant Badewitz, the prize commander of the .Yarrowdale. asked whether it did not seem a ticklish Job to take charge of 46'f prisoners with such a small crew. Lieutenant Badewitz answered that he had let his prisoners move about freely and considered the situation safe so long as "one had a pistol." He also said that feeding the prisoners was easy, considering the circumstances. JAPANESE CREW TS MUTINY Hudson Mam Not German Prize but Under Own Commander. - WASHINGTON. Jan. 22 Trouble be tween the captain and crew of the Japanese steamer Hudson- Maru, sent Into Pernambuco with survivors of vessels sunk by the German raider in the South Atlantic, has broken out, ac cording to dispatches at the State De partment today. The exact cause of the trouble Is not clear, but is so serious as to have been referred to the owners of the vessel. ' The Hudson Maru, according to reports here, did not enter Pernambuco un der a German prize crew as originally reported, but under her own officers and men. TAX BOARD IS VOTED OUT (Continued From First Face.) Pierce's assertion in the debate oa the preliminary motion that passage of the bill would cause a chaotic con dition In the equalization of taxes, drew fire from prton. "This Is the same old story. In the earn old way. he cried hotly. "It's pass the buck, pass the buck. Every time any attempt is made to abolish a commission, or combine it with an other commission some one always comes along to say that Is the only effi cient commission in the 'state govern ment. "If Senator Pierce doesn't favor this bill, let him vote against it. Let him go on record against It. That's just what we want him to do." 'There Is no politics in this." ex RUB YOUR BACK!

It never disappoints and has been recommended for 60 years. Stop drugging kidneys! They don't cause backache, because they have no nerves, therefore cannot cause fain. Adv. UMBAGO claimed Dimlck. "It cut3 off Charlie Galloway, a Democrat and Eaton, a Republican. We are not discriminating in favor of any Republican. The ap propriation asked by the Tax Commis sion for the next biennium is SoO.000. This bill confers its duties on the Public-Service Commission, the members of which have said they can handle the work, and without additional com pensation. Democrat Against Delay, Too. . "Here's a chance for some real econ omy. If you want economy vote for this bill. If you want to fidget and sidestep and do nothing, vote against La Follette. a rigid economy advo cate, was another who argued for the bill. "I am strongly In favor -of It," said ne-' "As for the men who vote against it, when we have this opportunity to accomplish some real economy. I doubt if they will be back here again." Garland, Democrat, said he favored the bill. , "It may not be the most scientific measure In the world, but it's a start," be asserted. "I'll vote for any consol idation measure, even If it isn't scien tific before I'll vote for a scientific delay. I want economy. Let personal preferences and personal politics die." Work of Commission Praised. Pierce made his main attack against the proposed . consolidation after the motion to recommit has lost and the measure was up for passage. He reviewed the work of the Tax Commission in the past eight years and declared that in that time it had cost an average of only $11,600 a year. "I know of no commission that has so nearly earned Its appropriation." he said, "and I want to call your atten tion to the very important fact that taxes are based on income and not on replacement value, two things diametri cally opposed. The Tax Commission bases its valuations on income and the Public Service Commission bases its valuations on ' replacement value, on which it bases rates." He said he favored the Governor's recommendation, made in his message to the Legislature, to combine the Tax Commission with the State Board of Control, with one Tax Commissioner to be retained as a tax expert. $10,000 Saving Foreseen. Eddy of Douglas summed np suc cintly his viewpoint of the issue when he said in reply to Pierce: "If every Senator would vote against every bill that did not meet his ap proval as to details, we should never get any consolidation done." In bis closing argument Dlmick said: "The Public Service Commission has shown us in the past what It could do, and It has just as good a record behind It as the Tax Commission has. The bill hasn't transferred the work of the Tax Commission to $75-a-month clerks, but to three trained $4000-a-year men on the Public Service Commission. "If it should take just as much clerk hire under the Public Service Commis sion as under the Tax Commission, we would, still save $10,000 in Tax Commis sioners' salaries, at the least." TWO AD BILLS RIVALS PORTLAND AD CLUB OPPOSES NEW PROPOSED MEASURE. One Now Pending at Salem la Backed by Organization Other Is Held Difficult to Enforce. Rival bills to govern the reliability of advertising soon may be before the Oregon Legislature. One masure Is, now pending at Salem. Introduced through the efforts1 of the better business bureau of the Portland Ad Club. Peti tions Indorsing a second bill were cir culated yesterday among local business men. This second bLu will meet with the opposition of the Ad Club, whose representatives maintain that it would not be effective. The bill that 'the better business bureau is advocating is listed as Senate bill 116, introduced by Senator Orton and modeled on the New York truthful advertising law, which is in force suc cessfully in 13 states. It is very similar to a city ordinance now effective in Portland. The new bill for which petitions were circulated yesterday follows closely the California law. It is objected to by the Ad Club on the ground that It would be very difficult to secure con victions under it because of a provision that guilty intent to defraud on the part of the advertiser must be proved. "The fact that there are two bills affecting advertising has led to con fusion." said w. B. Shively yesterday. Mr. Shlvely is the attorney for the Ad Club who drew up the bill for the Ore gon Legislature to conform to the New York law. "The Ad Club has no peti tions out and we desire to caution mer chants who desire to 'support the Ad Club measure that they should not sign the petitions now being circulated."

STATES' POWER IS UPHELD legitimate Industry Declared Xot Paramount and Authorities May Prohibit Sales Where They Suspect Fraud. "WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. So-called blue-sky . laws of Ohio, Michigan and South Dakota, regulating the sale of securities and designed to bar get-rich-quick schemes, were upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court in far-reaching decisions affecting simi lar laws In 26 states. Justice McKenna handed down the opinions of the court, to which Justice McReynolds alone dissented. They ad mit that such statutes may curb and burden legitimate business, but hold the Interests of legitimate business are not paramount o police powers of states to protect their citizens from fraud. Federal court injunctions sus pending enforcement of the laws are dissolved. . Sale May Be Forbidden. The laws do not attempt to prohibit unwise investments, but give state au thorities, through security commissions or banking superintendents, authority to forbid sale within state borders of securities which officials believe would result in fraud upon investors. The Michigan 'and South Dakota statutes were patterned upon the "model" blue- sky hill drafted by the National Asso ciation of Attorneys-General, which is the model for the laws of several other states. That securities are Instrumentalities of commerce and, as such, exempt from state regulation and subject only to National supervision, was the principal contention of bankers, stock salesmen and corporations attacking the laws. The Investment Bankers' Association of America, through ex-Attorney-General Wickersham, appeared in the liti gation attacking the statutes. Requirement Not Inappropriate. "Prevention of deception Is within the competency of government." said. Justice McKenna. "The Intangibility of securities, being representatives of property in distant -states, and the in tegrity of them can only be assured by the probity of the dealers in them and the information they are required to give. This assurance the states deemed necessary for their welfare to requfre. and that requirement is not unreason able or inappropriate. "We cannot stay the hands of gov ernment upon a consideration of the im policy of its legislation. Every new regulation of business meets challenge. But the policy of a state and its ex pression in laws must vary with cir cumstances. Government Costs Something. "The statutes burden honest business, it Is true, but burden it only that under Its forms dishonest business may not be done. Expense may thereby be caused and inconvenience, but to ar rest the power of the state by such consideration would mke it impotent to discharge its functions. "It costs something to be governed." FOOD SCARCE IN BERLIN LONDON HEARS BREAD LINE IS I!f, CREASED TO 22,000. Eating Houses Offer to Cook Potatoes for Customers Relief From Coal Shortage Is Promised. LONDON, Jan. 22 The scarcity of foodstuffs in Germany; especially in Berlin, is increasing, according to an Amsterdam dispatch to Renter's, quot ing Berlin newspapers. Ji'rom Decem ber 23 to December 28. according to the dispatch, the maximum supply per head was three pounds of potatoes and four pounds of kohlrabi. From Decem ber 24 to December 27 rations of seven ounces of flour were available, but for an entire week the consumer could get only three ounces of butter and no margarine. The dispatch says that people apply ing for public feeding in Berlin in creased last week to 22,000 and restaur ant keepers informed their customers that they may bring potatoes to the eating houses, where they will be cooked for them. Vorwaerts says that General Groener, head of the department of munitions, told the auxiliary civil service commit tee on January 20 that the difficulties in railroad transportation, which had created a serious situation, would Boon be overcome, and that he hoped that the coal supply would soon be- normal again. General Groener denied that lack of meat' was due to faulty trans portation, but attributed It to Inade quate methods of distribution. IDEA TO BE KEPT ALIVE f Continued From Firat Page.) ered. . Naturally, they refused in any way to discuss it. While Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, declined tonight to comment for publication upon ;the address, the German view generally was that the address will (strike a re sponsive chord among the peoplef of Germany. . President Wilson and Secretary Lan sing believe the present move will pro voke indignation in the foreign press, much as was the case with the Presi dent's original note of December 18. They feel that In a statement of posi tion as full as the President's both sides, may feel they have been unjustly attacked and as a result they look for a bitter outburst in the more violent press. No attempt Is made to conceal the fact that statements that may be interpreted aa critical or unfriendly may come from both sides. Peoples Thonght to Want Peace. The greatest confidence Is, felt here that the belligerent peoples want peace and that the chief obstacle to an early peace is inv uuteriaiui txa to whether that peace will be perma nent. It is believed' that as soon aa neonle abroad see in the American ac tion a possible means of making that peace permanent, any nrsi reaction to the address will disappear, and as seri ous and as friendly discussion of it will follow as followed the original peace note. , Officials also expect antagonism In this country to any abandonment of the traditional policy of American iso lation. It hu boon felt la high official quar- ters for some time that no" such f unda mental change In American foreign policy could be taken witwout a decided change in the basic attitude of public opinion and that & wide campaign must be undertaken by the President if his programme were to be carried through. , The present opportunity was seen, 4 therefore, as offering' a very decided, incidental impetus to that end. The strength of this internal Amer ican opposition is said not to be under- ' estimated by the President, as it has j already been foreshadowed In the re- j cent opposition by Senators Lodge, Borah and others to an indorsement of the President's original note. With a policy that Is recognized as more revo- ! lutionary than any In foreign affairs ' since President Monroe enunciated his famous doctrine, and indeed with wider possibilities than profcaply any other step in American history, the Admin istration is preparing for a formidable ad a conscientious struggle transcend ing ordinary political bounds. Opposition in the entente countries Is expected to center on the proposition I that'fchis should be a war without vie- I tory. Both the entente reply to the President's note andt the supplementary statement emphasized the belief that an allied victory over so-called Ger man militarism and lust for conquest was essential to any kind of world well-being. The allies have Indicated that they believe the greatest moral value that will corae from the war would be that of a victory over force and disregard of international treaties. British Resentment Expected. The demand for the freedom of the seas, while indefinite. Is expected to cause resentment in England, where it will be nointeH nut t V. u f tdnf Vis's h,.n I Germany's chffef rallying cry since Eng- itiiio euierea ine war. 1 nrougnouw England has maintained that the seas are indeed free, that her navy does not contain the menace of a vast land military system, and that It Is essen tial to her far-flung empire. It Is as sumed that freedom of the seas would be worked, out by exempting private property from seizure, as on land, and by limiting the rights of blockade. The central Dowers are unectMl to find an indirect criticism in the con trast of their offer of a conference with their enemies In their reply to the President's note with his statement that "thei entente powers have replied much more definitely" to his sugges tion. Nevertheless, It is taken to give them a further opportunity for a dis cussion of peace which officials here had every reason to believe they would welcome. There Is an absolute refusal here, however, to enter Into any discussion of the details of the address on the ground that the big principle involved should be left as clear as possible with out confusing it in side issues. Phrases Purposely Flexible. Its phrases are understood to have been left rather purposely Indefinite in some sections in order to be as flexible to different shades of opinion and de sire as was the entente statement of terms in the note to the President. "A free, independent and autonono mous Poland," for example. Is calculat ed to give pause to both Germany and Russia and to be a recognition of the right of nationality, which both na tions have upheld, that may cause each embarrassment, though eventually leading to a solution. The mention of "freedom of worship" also Is an equiv ocal statement, which might b taken to refer to Jews in Russia, as easily as to Armenians and Syrians in Turkey. The natural right of nations to an outlet to the sea applies equally to Poland. Austria, Russia and Serbia, and In some cases cuts across nationalistic or ter ritorial rights which could only be squared by the neutralization of the disputed section, as. say, the Darda nelles for Russia, Triest for Austria. East Prussia for Poland or Montenegro for Serbia. Double Interpretations Probable. The most of the argument is expected abroad, with all kinds of double inter pretations on that section dealing with the necessity of governments resting on the consent of the governed and the Immorality of passing peoples back and forth from one sovereignty to the other. Whether this contemplates a criticism of certain claims for territory, as that of France for Alsace-Lorraine, of Italy for the Trentino, Roumanla for Transylvania, or Austria for parts of Serbia, Bulgaria for parts of Roumanla and so forth, is unknown, but is certain to be widely discussed. Mention of disarmament as "the most immediate and intensely practical ques tion connected with the future fortunes of nations and of. mankind, caused surprise in some quarters, as President Wilson was not known to have had such decided views on that subject. It also recalls the fact that the first Hague conference In 1899 was called for that distinct purpose and failed, with the second conference, because Germany gave word that she would withdraw if the subject were generally debated. Despite that, the British. French and American delegates all in dorsed the plan warmly. It has been felt in Germany that such a plan is im practicable, as there is no common de nominator by which armament can be reduced proportionately, all over the world at the same time. Force Distinctly In Bacltgronnd. The world federation contemplated by the President is explained as not being based primarily on force, but as Bavins lorce oistlnctiy In the back ground. The speech speaks of "the common strength" opposed to the "in dividual strength" of nations, and no fewer than 13 times he mentions the word "guarantee," or a cognate. This Implication of some kind ot force be hind his proposal, whether physical or economic, is expected to bring about deep opposition on the part of many peace organizations, such as the Amer ican Peace Society, the World Court League and others that are already committed to a world reorganization based only on International law and good faith.

"When I was in Portland on Satur day.

If these recommendations are wrong, as they say, now is the time to find out. "The recommendation of the Code Commission is that the Insurance Com missioner may address inquiries to any insurance company or rating bureau to ascertain how the'r rates are pro mulgated and any other matter upon which he thinks the public should be informed; also that any rating bureau shall be open at all times for the In formation of the citizens of this state.
