Wl'h thl object In view. William Hanley. wealthy tockman and eaten it. landowner, of Worn. Harney County, proposes a dlvllon of the Pa ciflc Northwest country Into two large tat, whose boundarle would be de termlned solelv br a consideration of the Industrial and commercial aetlvl tie common to each. la effecting thla desired reorgantaa- tloo. Mr. Hanley would eraee existing late lines. tenor established political Influence and Its domination la admin Utrattve affairs, substitute a form of government that would be more respon sive to the needs of the different sec tions and Introduce a programme of Individual human efficiency which, he vers, would Insure desired results. Ideas Are rsrts. "Existing state boundary lines today mean aothlns; except arbitrarily to d. fine the JurU. Union of a form of state government that has been provided." declared Mr. Hanley, yesterday. These boundary llnee should be determined and Died more with reference to the similarity of Interests and Industrial activities of the territory embraced therein. -Blnnln- at the Brltlah Columbia line and extending southerly to th. California line. I would embrace Into one state ail that territory lying- west of the Cascades to the Taclfic Coast. The Interests of that entire section re Identical." ' "But would that not make a large nd rather cumbersome state for pur pof'i of government?' was asked. That Is true. But there Is no need for small organizations In order to Insure efficiency." explained the volun teer atate builder. The best effi ciency comes from large corporations through organised and Intelligent ef fort and direction," Pelitlra Sat Ceasldered. "Where would yon have the seat of government located Portland Seattle. Tacoma or Astoria T was asked. "My reorganisation plan does not take politic Into consideration." waa the reaHy response. "It la not politics that work out the best Interest of any community. Politics are demoral ising as a factor In any plan of de velopment and should always be sec ondary in consideration. Th question of whether Portland. Seattle. Tacoma or Bcappoos Is the capital I of no consequence. "Having thus disposed of the section lying west of the Cascades. I would assemble under one state government the remaining portions of Oregon and Washington, loicether with Nevada and 1'laho and. possibly, parts of Ctah and Montana. What I want to do la to get the sagebrh country together for two reasons. Primarily, under such an arrangement, these sections -have their Irrigation and land problem which are entirely unrelated and foreign to the Interests of that section lying between ths Cascades and the Pacific Ocean. Secondly, under my proposed plan tha vast arid land district east f tha Cas cade would be In a position to work out these problem satisfactorily and efficiently. Office) Redartlsa Fevered. "Under tha existing organisation of tatea In thla section the political ma chinery follow th center of popula tion with th resu: that th sparacly settled districts east of the mountains are not strong enough numerically to gain deserved recognition. The crying need of the country to day is Increased production of food stuffs." continued Mr. Hanley. di gressing somewhat from his state di vision view, "and the need for culti vating and making productive every available acre la ths country. Thla meana an Increased demand for people on the iand and yet, under the draft, the country district ihave suffered more than th cities. Th jovernment ha at last awak ened to th value of efficiency In Its various wartime activities and 1 going the limit. There I no reason why w should not adept ths asm general plan of efficiency la our atate affairs. We should have some sort of drafting plan that would extend throuhvour entire population and compel each person to render an accounting of what he 1 doing. Individual effi ciency must be demanded of every body. The man who doe not produce more than he destroy is a boarder and the balance of society has to pack him along." Mr. TTanley said he bad serious doubt that his plan of state reorgan isation would get very far In the way of .realisation, but h still believe hi p.1;tioa Is sound and that, if carried out. I willing to wager the result would more than warrant th experi ment he proposes. STRIKERS WANT COURTESY Governor Willi ycombe Aked to 'Con trol Special Agents at Oregon City. SALENf. Or, Jan. 4.

Fourteen men who were caught In th raid, which waa made several mornings ago by Policemen Hunt, Tee ters and Martin, were fined $25 each, and five visitors were fined $5 each. Paul M. Long, counsel for Wilson and the others, evidently expected that his clienta would escape with a small fine, and was much surprised at the action of th Judge. Deputy City Attorney Deicb contended that It was "about time the court let these men know that their Illegal business is not tolerated by the city. "It s a fine proposition for these men to enter a technical plea of not guilty. and then, 'in a nice way.' explain that thev helped the officers to get the evi dence, and therefore should be treated leniently. said Mr. Deicb. 1 insist upon heavy fines in this case.

IT'S DIFFERENT HAIR-RAISING SCENES A-TOP 360-FOOT CHIMNEY 'S IAX TOO LOW GROWING CITY IS HURT BY COJT STITCTIOJfAL LIMITATION". Whether Annexation of Large Terri tory Hay Be Included In Levy to Be Decided by State Commission. BEND, Or., Jan. 4. (Special.) Whether the constitutional 6 per cent tax limitation affects the situation cre ated by the addition of a large terri tory to the city since the last tax levy Is now puzzling the City Council of Bend. The problem has been passed on to the County Assessor, and through him to the State Tax Commission. On its decision will depend whether or not the city has a few thousand dollars extra for municipal purposes during the com ing year. That the money is needed is indicated by the fact that the Council's budget estimates called for 26,000, but this amount, being in excess of the per cent limitation, had to be voted on by the people and the proposed levy was defeated. In order to raise the largest amount possible the Council now wishes to have the amount to be raised from the city as formerly bounded Increased by 6 per cent, and to have the same rate apply in the territory Included in the city limits since the last tax levy. If thTa ia not allowed, because of the 6 per cent limit, and the Council is forced to confine itself to raising last year's amount plus 6 per cent In the city1 as now bounded, the rate will be forced roH liver oil was selected pure quality of Norwegian Cod own American laboratories. from alcohol or opiates. u-aa i.i fir p Lit THE BURNING LION CAGE down, but there will be little money to pay the bills, which have grown large since the city made its great growth.
