OTHER BUSINESS SUFFERS
General Prosperity Declared Im

' Railroad Rates Prevail.
DES MOIN"ES, la., Oct. 18. Atten
tion wu concentrated on the freight
rata problem by middle western
states governors and public officials
who met here today at the call of
Governor Kendall of Iowa to consider
means of reviving; agriculture and
business and diminishing; unemploy
ment. It was agreed that present trans
portation charges made profitable
farming Impossible.
Similar unanimity was reached as
to the necessity of action by congress
In reaffirmation of state authority
ver state rates.
A question on which the conference
showed warm feeling was that of in
terest charges and the so-called de
flation policy followed by the federal
reserve banks. Agriculture was de
clared to have been unduly penalized
tiy excessive pressure for liquidation
tinder peculiarly difficult conditions.
The necessity for lower interest rates
and longer terms for farm credit was
emphasized. It was announced that
the conference probably would put it
self oa reoord to this effect.
- A sericulture First Coseera,
Governor Kendall, In opening the
conference, delivered the' following
address:
"I have assumed the province of In
viting this conference of mid-western
executives because I believe the
financial, economic and Industrial
conditions of the country demand the
most serious attention from those In
authority.
"In all the states represented here
agriculture is the paramount in
dustry end upon its prosperity de
pends the wellbelng of the entire
population. True, we mine some and
manufacture some, but fundamentally
our reliance is upon the generous
response of the soil to the energies
of those who cultivate It. It is of
primary importance, therefore, that
those eivgaged in that pursuit shall
realize fair return upon the invest
ment of capital and labor which they
apply to It.
"It Is common knowledge among
all men that during the years 1920
and 1921 the farmers of the Missis
sippi valley have prosecuted their
enterprise at a substantial lose and
the consequence has been that every
where in the grain belt agriculture
Is prostrate, manufacturing Is para
lyzed, business is stagnant and idle
ness general.
Crlala Believed Coming-.
"The seriousness of the situation
cannot be overstated. I may be as
sailed as pessimistic, but In my judg
ment we have not soundejd the ulti
mate depths of our depression. On
the contrary, we sre approaching a
crisis, which, unless averted, will be
unprecedented in our history for the
loss and suffering it will entail.
"I have believed that this confer
ence by the sober consideration of
conditions as they exist throughout
the country, by the mutual inter
change of opinion concerning; rem
edies to be Invoked, by the candid
examination of questions which vi
tally affect the general welfare, might
be able to contribute somewhat to
the solution of the perplexing prob
lems which confront us."

COUNTY AID NOT NEEDED
Rone Festival Directors Advise
Commissioners of Surplus.
Directors of the Rose Festival as
sociation have notified Ralph Hoyt
that the 12500 appropriated by the
county commissioners for the festival
of 1921 was not required, and that the
county can be relieved of this obilga
tion. O. W. Mielke, president, has
written to Mr. Hoyt because the latter
was acting chairman of the board of
commissioners last May when a reso
lution was adopted to pay 12500 to the
festival.
The appropriation was made at a
time when it was regarded as an
mergency. Mr. Hoyt requested at the
time that If other funds were secured
or expenditures were restricted, the
festival association should not insist
on payment of the sum. The festival
now states that after all obligations
liave been paid there is still a com
fortable surplus and therefore the
county s assistance will not be re
quired. However, Mr. Mielke requests
that the festival Item be carried in the
1922 budget.

He answered the same hypothetical
question put to nr. House with the
positive reply, "The defendant was

Dr. Scalfe answered the hypothet
leal question with the opinion that
the defendant was Insane.

tire morning In a hiking trip.
"I found that I had run short of
funds, and tried to get my check
cashed at the hotel. I did not have
euiiictent means or laenuucauon, so
Dr. Brumfleld offered to lend me the
money I needed. I gave him my per
sonal check and asked him to hold it
a few days until I could send him the
money.
On my way home I stopped - in
Portland, got some money and tele
graphed an order to Dr. Brumfleld
for the amount I owed him.
'He wrote me a letter acknowledg
ing receipt of the telegraph order and

"He had told me In Canada that
he was Norman M. Whitney of Evans-
ville, Ind., and that he lived off the
Income from three or four farms."

firmative when asked whether or not
the defendant wore a "Charlie Chap
lin mustache" at that time.

was different from any other day,"
said the witness.
"Dr. Fred Haynes of Roseburg tes

seemed the same" to him Just before
July 13, but said that he had noticed
a change in the defendant during the
six months prior to last July.

CORVALLIS. (jfr.. Oct. 18. (Special.)
The city council has been wrestling
with a problen In assessing paving
expenses on North Ninth street. The
Southern Pacific owns the right of
way along the east side of the street.
and the property owners back of the
right of way Insisted that the com
pany should pay 40 per cent of the
paving expenses.
The railroad company contended
that it la not liable because no show
ing can be made to the effect that It
receives any direct benefits The city
council assessed the railroad with 30
per cent of the cost, and the com
pany's attorney agreed to recommend
that the company pay the bill. Pri
vate property owners, however, were
not satisfied and said they would con

Monarch "Who Succumbed In Exile
Zealous Defender of German
Cause in World "War.
LONDON. Oct. 18. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) An Exchange- Tele
graph dispatch from Vienna today
states that a report has been re
ceived there of the death of Ludwig
III. ex-king of Bavaria, .at Sarvar
castle in Hungary.
Ludwig III. as king of Bavaria,
was ruler of a kingdom which next
to Prussia was the largest state in
the German empire both in area and
population. When, In his 68th year,
he ascended the throne November 5.
1913, he was the first full-fledged
king that this big south German
kingdom bad known since 188S. for
in the interim of 21 years the Ba
varians had recognized as . their
nominal rulers two Insane sovereigns,
the extravagant palace-builder. Lud
wig II, who drownetl himself, and his
brother. King Otto, known as "Mad
Otto, who was deposed because of bis
mental infirmities.
Lad wis; Accepts Throne. .
The regency of the Bavarian throne,
from 1886 to 1912. had been In the
hands of Prince Lui'.pold, a cousin of
the two insane monarchs, and upon
his death, in December. 1912, it passed
to Ludwig III. A movement was im
mediately begun to make this new
regent the actual king in place of
the demented Otto but it was not
until November 5. In the following
year, that Ludwig consented to ac
cept the crown, provided a bill chang
ing the constitution passed the ba
varian diet. This act was speedily
passed, and Ludwig. In pursuance of
Its provisions, unfurled his royal
standard on the ancient Wlttelsbach
palace In Munich, while the incom
petent Otto was placed In restraint.
The transfer of tbe throne met with
general approval.
In 1868 he married the Archduchess
Maria Theresa of Austria-Eate, who
was princess royal of Hungary and
Bohemia, by whom he later had nine
children. She was an ambitious and
able woman who Is said to have done
much to bring about the political con
ditions favorable to his enthronement.
Zealous in World War.
It was only nine months after King
Ludwig had assumed the sovereignty
that the European war began, since
when his success as a ruler had been
difficult to estimate owing to the
obscurity into which the censorship
and the domination of military affairs
has thrown information from Ger
many. However, King Ludwig had been
featured prominently, though briefly,
in connection with the war news.
His people, though credited with
widely different ideals from those
of the Prussians; threw themselves,
under his sovereignty, into the war
with seal and force equaled only by
the Prussians themselves.
It was the king's brother. Prince
Leopold, who commanded the victo
rious Bavarians on that occasion, and
the king's eldest son, the Crown
Prince Rupprecht, also distinguished
himself In command on the German
western front.
damental reason given by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking dem- j
ocratic member, and chairman of the
foreign relations committee, for favor
inging ratification of the .German
treaty. -
The question before us now," said
Senator Hitchcock, "is not a choice
between the Versailles treaty and the
pending treaty, but between the
pending treaty and a protected un
certainty without any treaty."
Declaring that the American elec
torate bad commissioned foreign
affairs to President Harding, Senator
Hitchcock continued:
"I cannot bring myself to vote
against the ratification of this treaty
when I know that the only alternative
will be to prevent a peace settlement
with Germany and will leave every
thing in a state of uncertainty. This
existing state" of uncertainty is disas
trous and I for one shall not vote to
prolong it. One of the necessary steps
to end it is a peace settlement with
Germany and the resumption of busi
ness relations with that great coun
try. Necessary Step Pointed Oat.
. The first necessary step to end
this intolerable uncertainty Is a
peace settlement The uncertainty
was not ended by the Knox resolu
tion; It cannot be ended in any other
way than by a treaty with Germany
and I am for ratification of this
treaty because the peace settlement
Is the supreme need of the hour."
Senator Hitchcock said that the
pending treaty protected American
Interests as much as the Versailles
covenant' and that It would not
change the American attitude toward
the league of nations.
"I have been asked sometimes."
Senator Hitchcock continued, "how I
as a democrat could vote for a sepa
rate peace with Germany when the
democratic platform of last year de
clared against a separate peace with
Germany. The answer Is that that
was one of the issues of the last cam
paign and was settled by the last
campaign. It was settled against the
democrats and it will never be an is
sue agarn In a campaign."

& G. WELL
Is Coming
To Washington
For the Arms
Conference
Because
the necessity exists not merely
of reporting the sessions in the
broadest possible way, but of
creating, informing and direct
ing public opinion, which, in
the last analysis, will cause the
Congress to be a success or a
failure.
The Oregoriian believes that
H. G. WELLS is the one.
man in all the world best
equipped to discharge these
deeply important duties.
Mr. WELLS has been a leader
in the fight for a better civiliza
tion. His greatest work "The
Outline of History," was writ
ten solely with that betterment
in mind.
His is a living force. States
men have acclaimed the plan
to have him "cover" the
Washington parley, recogniz
ing that he represents the su
preme interest of the public,
which, in this case, is all man
kind. That is why The Oregonian
and associated newspapers are
proud that Mr. WELLS has
accepted their invitation to
come to America because
they believe the act of bring
ing him here can honestly be
called a real public service.
The Oregonian congratulates
its readers that Mr. WELLS has
accepted the invitation, for it
was in their interest that the
invitation was extended.
