CONTROVERSY TO RESUME
Senator Owen Predicts Wilson
Would Accept Reservations Voted
by Two - Thirds of Senate.
WASHINGTON". D. C Jan. 18.
While senate leaders in the peace
treaty controversy today prepared for
resumption tomorrow of the bi-partisan
conference on compromise res
ervations to effect ratification. Sena
tor Borah, republican. Idaho, made
public a letter to Major-General Leon
ard Wood, candidate for the republic
an presidential Domination, requesting-
his views on treaty questions and
Senator Owen, democrat, Oklahoma,
issued a statement regarding the com
promise negotiations of which he is
the sponsor.
Senator Owen declared that 40 dem
ocratic senators would support "rea
sonable reservations' and predicted
that President Wilson would accept
reservations adopted by two-thirds of
the senate. Mr. Owen deplored reports
of disagreement between President
Wilson and former Secretary of State
Bryan.
Definite outcome of the bi-partisan
compromise- conferences is expected
this week. Leaders continued today
to be far from optimistic.
Senator Borah, in his letter to Gen
eral Wood, asked two principal ques
tions as follows:
"1. Are you in favor of giving the
people an opportunity of passing upon
this question in the only way now
provided by which they can pass upon
it by bringing it before them as an
insue in the approaching campaign?
Do you think it would be fair to the
people of this country under the pre
tense of making a treaty to adopt a
scheme which would result in the
abandonment of our traditional for
eign policy without taking their
Judgment upon the matter?
May we ask your views upon
this entire matter aside from your
views as to the propriety of sub
mitting it to the people? Would you,
as a candidate and as a president if
you were elected, seek to maintain
the foreign policies of this govern
ment heretofore prevailing or would
you be willing to abandon them?
Would you lend your influence and
your power ae president to maintain
and preserve the policy of foreign
powers with American affairs, or
would you be willing to have the
United States enter into an alliance
or partnership or league with Euro
pean and Asiatic nations?"

I ly' to make political change by in
jury to private property. It is un
I hapnily true that even a legitimate
strike may result in Indirect injury to
the employers' private property righr
in his business. The recent steel and
coal strikes were both falsely her
alded as attempts to overthrow our
government.
"If a hostile federal judge should
decide 'hat any particular strike has

ing union is 'affiliated with' the Amer

for any person anywhere in the na
tion to rent a hall or business office
to any labor organization affiliated
with the American Federation of La

send strike relief to starving women
and children.
"Jn general this is a bill against
opinion and advocacy. It proposes to
set up not a government of law but
of man, because under its vague and
sweeping terms no man would know
what the law is until the ieaerai
judges interpret its meaning.
"The Inevitable result of this Dili.
if enacted, would be to spread a
reign of terror over the United States,
fill the country with spies and spe
cial agents of the department of jus
tice, fill the land with suspicion, and
heresy hunting would quickly become
a national industry. If the principles
of Magna Charta and the Declaration
of Independence and the constitution
of the United States are not worth
fighting to preserve, I have wholly
misconceived what patriotism and
love of freedom mean."

Application of the cost of operation

east and west in conformance with
the shorter route advantage which
the Milwaukee railroad commands
over the Great Northern and North

tion and an entire readjustment of
the present rate-making system of
the country will be introduced bv

the case.
It is believed that the Union Pa

of a decrease from their present rates
and consideration of the Thertel
findings convinces the commission
tnat no such decrease is contem

County Chairman and Leaders
From AH Parts of Stale lo
Gather at Benson.
To hundreds of Portland's little boys
and girls yesterday was a day graven
forever upon their memories. Many
tot went to sleep last night happy
with thoughts of Bmiles of recognition
from their hero. For had not Jonn J.
Pershing, general of the American
army and conqueror of the German
hordes, visited Portland and Bingled
them out specially for his favor?
Perhaps no visitor of national fame
has ever come to Portland to whom
the children have so naturally been
drawn or who has shown such a keen
interest in the youngsters and made
every effort possible to respona to
the idealism in their hearts as aid
General Pershing yesterday. Time
after time the general picked out
children alon;? his route for special
greeting while the grown-ups had to
be satisfied as onlookers only, lnus
it was from the time that impetuous
little Dorothy Hawkins intercepted
the general's automobile in the line
of march to give him a box ot candy,
until the moment that little Jean
Abercrombie on behalf of Portland,
presented the general with a bouquet
of Oregon's world-famed roses at the
Auditorium last night.
Perhaps it was the thought of his
own son. Warren, now 9 years old,
whom he left behind him at Lincoln,'
Neb., only a short time ago, after
having spent the Christmas holidays
at his old home, that moves the
general to be so thoughtful of the lit
tle children, or perhaps it is the re
membrance of his three little daugh
ters, who, with Mrs. Pershing, lost
their lives in the disastrous Presidio
fire of August 27, 1915. Whatever
the inspiration, the fact was yester
day many times demonstrated that
he is a great admirer of children. I
From his automobile the general
took particular pains to single out
the children and answered all salutes
from the youngsters with military
exactness and a smile that went
straight to the childish heart. On
the trip to Vancouver a tow-headed
youngster whose clothes were all
patches and holes was standing dis
consolately at the curb, when sud
denly he recogniied the general ap
proaching in his car. The youngster
put his hand to his head in an ama
teur salute, and, although there was
no one on the street for a block or
more, the general leaned far out of
his car to answer with a salute and
a smile.
"The reception which the general
has received from the children every
where on the trip has been inspiring,"
said Colonel George C. Marshall.
"Children are like the dumb animals,
they know their friends instinctively,
and incident after incident has hap
pened on the trip, evidences of child
ish love and awe, which has brought
tears to the general's eyes."
Landlords to Be Held to Straight
and Narrow' Path, Says In
ternal Revenue Officer.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. Through)
me uuiieciioD oi taxes on 1919 in- i
comes, the first step in which will be
taken tomorrow, the government will
wage war on profiteering landlords
with "sweet revenge" in prospect for
"the tenant who has had to dig deep
into his earnings to pay a high
rental in 1919."
First intimation of this new aspect
came tonight In announcement by
Daniel C. Roper, commissioner of the
bureau of internal revenue, that
forms for making income tax re
turns, which will be in the hands of
all internal revenue collectors and
ready for distribution tomorrow, will
contain a section providing that ten
'ants shall include in their statements
the amount of rent paid and to
whom it was paid. This information
will be turned over to the department
of justice to be used in Its high cost
of living investigation.
Tenants to Do Driving.
"The tenants are doing the driving
and holding the whip," Mr. Roper said.
"Profiteering landlords will be held
to the straight and narrow path in
the payment of their income taxes.
Revenge is sweet to the tenant who
has had to dig deep into his earnings
to pay a high rental in 1919. Gather
ing his family around him, he takes
his scratchy pen in hand, and with
the last drop of ink in the bottle in
forms the commissioner of internal
revenue that he. Bill Brown, of the
Hallroom Apartments, paid to John
Smith, 13 Profiteer avenue, S1200 for
his three-room flat in 1919.
"By gathering these reports from
all of the Bill Browns who are run
ning themselves ragged to pay their
rent, the internal revenue bureau will
have all of the information needed to
see that the profiteer John Smiths
pay proper tax or face prosecution."
Work Expected to Be Heavy.
While the work of collecting the
income tax will be just as heavy this
year as it was in 1919, the govern
ment will receive less revenue. In
stead of collecting 6 per cent on in
comes between $2000 and $4000 from
married persons as was done last
year, only 4 per cent will be col
lected this time. Single persons will
get an exemption of $1000 as provided
under the previous revenue law.
On Incomes above $4000 the normal
tax will be 8 per cent tnstead of 12
per cent as last year. But the surtax
begins operation at $4000 and con
tinues upward until the government
will assess t0 per cent of annual in
comes above $1,000,000.
Internal revenue officials will send
income tax forms to all persons who
paid taxes last year. Others who are
taxable must apply to the collector.
Mr. Roper warned that there would
be unswerving enforcement of the
revenue laws and that "punishment
will be meted out and per, Ities ap
plied without fear or favor this year,
since all persons are familiar with
the law.
Returns and at least one-fourth of
the amount due must be in the hands
of internal revenue collectors by
March 15.

DEMPSEY LEGION TOPIC
Portland Post May Discuss War
Record of Pugilist Tonight.
Whether or not Jck Dempsey,
world's champion heavyweight pug"
illst, should be branded as a "slacker"
is one of the questions which is ex
pected to come up at tonight's meet
ing of the Portland post of the Amer
ican Legion.
Various posts of the American Le
gion have scored Dempsey as a
slacker, as one who "apparently
skulked in hiding from the draft
boards" during the late war, and the
post at El Paso, Texas, even has seen
fit to vote 2o to wager on Georges
Carpcntier in the coming fight for
the world s championship between tne
wo heavyweights.
As a body the American Legion has
not condemned Dempsey, but various
posts have compared him unfavorably
with Georges Carpentler.
If the Portland post should see fit
to take any action in the matter it is
probable that it will be transmitted to
Dempsey for his information.
