Oeneral campaigning for measures on
the ballot at the special election June 3
will be pin in earnest next Monday.
This will give the campaigners two
weeks in which to educate the public
on the various measures and the state
will be covered by speakers. There is
fi. sort of co-operative agreement among
the various campaign committees to the
end that each one is doing what it can
Jo help the others.
Four measures have organizations
fcchind them. These are the recon
struction bill, the Roosevelt highway
measure, the irrigation programme and
(the market road tax.
Until a few days ago the Roosevelt
tilghway. was the only measure which

bodies in the Rose City.

while publicity for the reconstruction
measure will be scattered broadcast.
Wnole State to Co-operate.
It was early agrreed between the ad
vocates of the Roosevelt highway and
the irrigationists that in union there is
strength. Western Oregon is not per
sonally interested In irrigation, but it
does want the highway. Eastern Ore
gon is not directly benefited by the
highway, but needs all the water it
can get. This being the case, the men
behind these measures agreed that re
ciprocity would be a good thing and
that the highway and the irrigation
projects are of general benefit to Ore
gon. In all the speeches heretofore made
or the Roosevelt highway or the ir
rigation measure, the reconstruction
programme has been advocated as it
links into the policy of developing the

Against Officer.
A popping, open-handed slap, deliv

punishment for the use of abusive lan
guage to a policeman, ruled Municipal
udge Rossman yesterday, when i-.ee
Foo, a Chinese merchant, was arraigned
in the city court on the charge of hav

against Foo.
But Food wasn't tnrougn witn mo

he indignant merchant hastened from
econd and Oak to the district court.
where he procured a warrant for the
arrest of Sergeant Robson, cnarging
him with assault and battery.
The feud between Sergeant Robson
and Lee Foo is said to be an old one.
The merchant's plact of business is at

At this the merchant fluently discussed
his theory of Sergeant Robson's ancen
try, it is said, and the arrest followed
but not before the lncensea sergeant
had "taken a slap" at his tormenter.
Foo was booked on a dual charge ol
vagrancy and abusive language. The
former charee failed to hold, as too
testified that he had $7000 worth of
stock in his store, and that during the
past few years he had paid $160,000 in
ranort duty on choice mercnanaise
from China. He offered to prove his
