Mayor Baker was bitter when told
that some nurses were attempting to
exact the $10 fee. He said that all
nurses are entitled to fair pay, but
that any such charge is beyond the
realm of fairness. I intend to obtain
the names of any nurses guilty of
such practices, turn one copy over to
the state health office for action and
the other copy to the press."
Three deaths resulted in the state
yesterday from influenza. . one in
Portland, another in Vale and th
third in Fossil. The Portland vic

in Portland to 221, the -majority of

cer Parrish, are extremely mild.
In the state, the worst situation
seems to exist in Vale, where 20 new
cases were reported yesterday.
LINCOLN BODYGUARD HERE
FKATTU3, Jan. 30. A resolution insisting-
that if the railroads organize
n car service committee after passing
from government control. Pacific
coast shippers be represented In its
personnel, was adopted at the annual
meeting here today of the West Coast
Lumbermen's association.
The .meeting adopted a resolution.
Introduced by J. R. Bloedel, asserting
that if the railroads-organize a car
service section or a car-distributing
committee of their own after passing
from government control to pri
vate ownership, the lumbermen will
Insist that the shipping interests of
the Pacific coast be represented, and
that shippers be asked to decline to
Join such a committee unless such
TepreoPntation is conceded.
Mr. Bloedel had just returned from
a. trip to Washington, Chicago and
other eastern cities and reported that
jvrospects for early imprbvement. in
the car supply in this part of the
country are far from bright. He
pointed out, moreover, that the rail
roads of the country are short of cars
and that the northwest cannot ex
pect more than 60 per cent of its
needs until this shortage is remedied.
Eastern Officials Blamed.
But, he insisted, the northwest is
not now getting its Just proportion
of the cars that are available. This
is due, be declared, to failure of east
ern officials of the railroad adminis
tration to understand the situation
In this part of the country.
Another angle of the ci contro
versy was presented by L. C Gilman,
district director of the railroad admin
istration, who explained that the
causes of tho present car famine are
more funda ental than mere inade
quate distribution. The railroad bus!
ness of the country has outgrown tha
railroad facilities, he pointed out.
While the c rriers have been able to
build only 3000 miles of new track in
the last four years and add only
10,000 new freight cars and 1000 new
locomotives, the freight that they
have been called upon to handle has
increased In volume more than SO
per cent.
"And the railroads cannot give ade
quate service," he added, "until they
are able to expand their facilities.
And the only way to get expansion is
to spend money. The only way to get
money to spend is to re-establish and
rehabilitate railroad credit. Any leg
islation that congress may enact will
not meet the situation unless the peo
pie who invest their money in railroad
stocks and railroad bonds have con
fidence that they will get a fair re
turn on their investments.
Traffic Not Balanced.
So long as railroad equipment re
mains snort of requirements. Mr. Gil
man continued, the Pacific northwest
must suffer a shortage of cars, for
there is not sufficient westbound traf
fic to balance the heavy movement of
traffic from this part of the country
east bound.
Norman F. Coleman, newly elected
president of the Loyal Legion of
Lumbermen and Loggers, spoke at
both the morning and afternoon ses
sions. He briefly reviewed the in
dustrial situation in the country and
outlined tne plans for the loyal legion
to preserve industrial peace In the
lumber industry of the northwest
"Failure to take our men into ac
count will result in as great a finan
cial loss to our plants as if the ma
chinery had been damaged," Mr. Cole
man said. He charged there had been
deliberate cutting of production on
the part of the men since the war,
that men were harder to handle than
ever; that actual shif tlessness pre
vailed in many instances.
"We can only meet the situation
honestly," he said. "If we make
peace we will win, and create work
ing fellowship between worker and
employer.
Mr. Shaw's annual report reflected
the progress that the association has
made in the last year. On January
lit, ne said, the association member
Fhip numbered 210 mills, representing
an annual capacity of 5,503.680,000
feet, which Is 91 per cent of the pro
duction of the west coast territory
as reported by the United States
forest service.
Mr. Shaw recommended that the
Joggers and timber owners should be
invited to become affiliated in som
way with the association in develop
ing the lumber Industry of the north
west.

Stimmel of Fargo, N. D., who was
a member of President Lincoln's

Mr. Stimmel is an excellent etory

through Washington, of standing
guard at the entrance to the White

famous second inaugural address was

His description of the celebration
in the national capital when Lee sur

Of the week which followed he has

Tax Argument Breaks.
The most heated argument of the
convention Centered about the recom
mendation of the platform committee
relative to the adoption, of a plank
providing for the removal of all un
just taxes on productive industry and
the substitution therefor of an in
creasing' tax on community-made
values.
M. M. Burtner of Wasco county de
clared that the grangers of the state
were strenuously opposed to any law
that bordered upon single tax. and
that in his opinion the proposed plank
in the platform of the league was the
opening wedge in that direction.
Should a man attempt to take your
bread and butter, you would call him
a scab" said Mr. Burtner, "but to me
this word is distasteful and I will re
frain from its use. However, the
grange looks upon the single tax
movement as a deliberate attempt to
rob them of their revenue lit that it
has for its purpose the cultivation of
all unused lands.
" "The greatest difficulty the grang
ers have to face today is the selling
of their products at reasonable prices.
We have no guarantee and the haz
ards attendant to our vocation are
great. If you put the single tax idea
into practice, you are going contrary
to the- great basic principles of our
government and that will mean the
defeat of your entire programme. If
you wish to assist the farmers in their-
struggle for industrial freedom, you
should direct your energies to per
fection of the distribution system, and
against-the man who would burn our
products that he might gain a greater
profit from the consumer.
Single Tax Championed.
"If that .part of the platform pro
viding for an increasing tax on com
munity-made values is to be incor
porated into the principles for which
this league stands, I want to serve
notice on you now that I will be un
able to return to my organization and
ask for its c-ooperation in. making
this movement a political success.
- Louia Bowerman of Portland de
clared that he was and always had
been in favor of the single tax, and
thought is a duty of the convention to
adopt the plank as submitted for con
sideration. XTnder the present sys
tem of taxation the Industries of this
country are burdened with taxation.
said Mr. Bowerman, "with the result
that this enormous contribution
eventually la paid by the consumer.
Let us remove this tax from the pro
ductive industries, eliminate the
shackles which bind the consumers
and" place the burden on the lands.
where it belongs. A fear to express
our principles seems to dominate this
convention and unless we speak out
our convictions we might as well sur
render all hope of success and go
home." . ,
R. M. Rynerson, editor of the Ore
gon Labor Press, took exception to
Mr. Bowerman's remarks and de
clared that he always had expressed
his views on important subjects re
gardless of the consequences.
Fred Weckerly oi Portland saia me
position of the farmers and -workers
was synonymous and that the league
should direct its energies toward Im
proving marketing conditions before
increasing -the tax on lands.
C C. Bossinger of Portland urged
the convention to forget the single
tax and if possible unite the farmers
and labor of the state in one great
movement for the common good of all.
With only three dissenting votes.
the convention then accepted the
amendment whereby that part of the
plank providing for an increasing
tax on community-made values was
eliminated and substituted by the
words "a more equitablo method of
taxation." This amendment, . Mr.
Burtner said, probably would be very
acceptable to the grange.
Free Speech Is Issne.
Another spirited debate ensued re
garding the adoption of that part of
the tentative platform to the effect
that all "abridgments of free speech,
free assemblage and free press were
deliberate and defiant violations of
the constitutions of the state ajid the
United States."
J. C. Strudgen of Portland said he
believed it would be to the Interest
of the league to eliminate the words
deliberate and defiant." .
"I have long been identified with
the radical movement in Portland."
said Mr. Strudgen, "and after witness
ing the trials to which it has been
subjected, I am satisfied that any
clouded reference to this issue will
injure our cause." He then told of
how his organization recently visited
Mayor Baker in quest of the audi
torium. and of how the official had
refused even to consider the request.
Mr. Coulter then Interposed: "Oily
George might refuse use of the audi
torium. but that should have no
weierht In retarding our progress.
Mr. Reyners and a number of other
delegates concurred in the suggestion
offered by Mr. Strudgen, with tne re
suit that the convention voted to elim
inate the three alleged objectionable
words .from the league platform.

APPEAL IS PERFECTED
J. ERASIER CASE TO GO TO
U. S. SUPREME COURT.
Eugene Realty Man Sentenced to
Prison for Forged Receipt in
Bankruptcy Proceed ing. -
SALEM. Or., Jan. 30. (Special.)
Appeal to the United States supreme
court was perfected here today in the
case of the state against E. J. Frasier,
a Eugene real estate operator, under
sentence to serve from 2 to 20 years
in the Oregon penitentiary following
conviction on a charge of uttering a
forged receipt in connection with a
hearing in bankruptcy In Lane
county.
At the time of Mr. Frazier arrest
more than two years ago It was al
leged by the state that in attempting
to make it appear that he had paid
Dr. P. W. Harris of Eugene a bill in
the sum of approximately $143, the
defendant Introduced in the bank
ruptcy court a canceled) check pur
porting to bear the indorsement of
the physieian.
The case was afterward transferred
to Benton county, where Frasier wat
convicted of forging Dr. Harris' name
to the check and later sentenced to
the penitentiary. Mr. Frasier then
appealed the case to the Oregon su
preme court, where the verdict of the
lower court was affirmed.
In perfecting an appeal to the
United States supreme court attorneys
for Mr. Frasier allege that evidence
introduced in a federal court of bank
ruptcy cannot be used against a de
fendant in the criminal courts of the
state, and. consequently the tribunal
in which the accused man was tried
in Benton county was without Juris
diction. If he committed any offense,
his attorneys allege he was subject
to the jurisdiction of the federal
courts.
Attorneys for Mr. Frasier Include
W.- P. . Lord of Portland and J. K.
Weatherford of Albany. The state
will be represented by Attorney-General
Brown, L. L. Ray of Eugene and
Arthur Clark of Corvallis.
Shortly after Mr. Frasier was In
dieted for the offense he disappeared
from his home in Eugene and his
clothes were afterward found on the
beach near Seaside. It was first
thought he had committed suicide, but
later developments showed that he
had played a ruse and 'had gone to
California and Mexico. His arrest
followed.
