garrison. Secretary of War, in a dis
cussion of National defense at a ban
quet at the Democratic Club of West
iiiester County here tonight declared
ht no one who suggested that peace
was to be obtained through feebleness
Vould be listened to and that "abhor
tence of war ana love of peace are
thoroughly consistent with wise mili
tary precautions."
The problem of what military pol
fry the United States should adopt and
pursue, he said, "is here now for our
solution. '
Facts 'ot to Be ATeldea.
iJ-We have no right," Mr. Garrison
declared, "from any standpoint to evade
K or avoid it; we must realize our re
sponsibility, fearlessly face the facts

and proper in the circumstances. Fore

TTne mobile military force In the
United States, he said, was ess than
55 00 men, while of the organised mili
tia it was not expected by those who
""at "ything like their full
numbers would respond to the call for
National service."
Preeaatloa Declared Issperatlve.
"This is an exceptionally opportune
time." Mr. Garrison continued, "to con
s4 der this question, because, -while the
war in Europe has centered the atten
tion of our people on the subject mat
ter, we have no aggressive intention
asainst any nation and there is no hint
at any uch aggressive Intention on the
part of any nation against us.
.The subject itself has nothing novel
la It. From the foundation of the Gov
ernment to the present time it has re
ceived the careful consideration of those
whose responsibilities or experiences
caused them to comprehend the situa
tion. All such practically reached simi
lar conclusions aa to the imperative
need of proper measures of precaution.
Unfortunately, for one reason or an
other, they were never able to cause
the enactment of their conclusions into
permanent form, and when occasion re
quired, resort was had to make shifts
and expedients, with all of the disas
trous and humiliating results of such
Inadequate treatment ot this vital sub
ject. - . '
K Militarism Hat SKgested. "
"When the public opinion of this
country has determined upon what gen
eral principles Its military policy shall
be founded, there will bo no ditfioulty
in working out the details and putting
them into effect.
"Abhorrence of war and love ef peace
are thoroughly consistent with wise
military precautions. There is no issue
in this country, and there can be none,
between militarism and pacificism. No
one who is taken seriously is ever sug
sesting militarism. And no one who
suggests that peace is to be obtained
through feebleness should be listened
to The great sober ense of this coun-.
try will surely not let its direction be
deflected by so unsubstantial an ob
stacle. What we are striving for, and
what every wise, patriotic citizen
should join" in obtaining, is a proper
military policy.
"In most other nations of any sis in
the world this matter has been taken
asL and has been settled after careful
mnslderation. Admittedly that Is not
tha ease with us.
Principles Host Be Decided.
"The exact question for decision,
therefore, is on what principles shall
we provide for the expansion of our
military forces so as to be reasonably
prepared to meet emergencies?
"No ne seriously proposes that this
should be done by having a standing
army ef such considerable size as to
meet that need.
"But that we need more of a standing
army than we now have is a faot
patent to everyone who considers the
subject. There Is also imperative need
ef trained men in reserve to fill up the
depleted ranks of the regular Army,
and a similar reserve for the organized
militia.
"As to the numbers of the standing
army, the method ef obtaining these
reserves, the methods of expansion in
time of need and other technical con
siderations of this character, it is not
f vital importance that we should
consider them at this time; they will
be properly settled by those skilled in
the military art when the general
policy has been agreed upen.
"What we laymen can do at this
time, and what we should do, and 1
wish to impress upon you to do. with
as much earnestness as I can command,
is to give this matter concentrated
consideration, to reach the -wisest con
clusions thereon, and to see to it that
those who represent you are informed
f your opinion and put it into effect-"
FISHING LAW FACES TEST
Camas Man Arrested Says He Will
Fight Washington Act.
VANCOUVER. Wash., April lu.(Spe-
clal.) J. W. Bennett, of Camas, who
was arrested recently by T. H. Gavls,
deputy game warden, charged with
having two salmon in his possession,
says he intends to test the validity of
the state fishing law in the courts of
Clarke County.
Mr. Bennett holds that he was In
tending to use the salmon for himself
and family and that the law does not
prohibit this. The question is whether
a person is permitted to fish with a
net for personal consumption. Mr.
Bennett Is also charged with fishing
without a license.
Three young men of this city, ar
rested last week for fishing in the
Columbia River- without license, ware
fined and allowed a month in which to
raise the money.

ROSEBURG, Or., April 10. (Special.)
Under the terms of a legal opinion
recently rendered by AttorneyrQeneral
George M. Brown, in which he held
that a Jitney was a common carrier,
several local attorneys are of the opin
ion that persons operating these vehi
cles in Roseburg, as in other towns of
the state, have a right to haul liquor
into this eity as long as It is properly
labeled and consigned.
lti s held by the atorneys. however,
that the jitney drivers would be gov
erned by the same laws as regulate the
railroads, express companies nd other
common carriers. They would have to
keep a record of all liquor transported,
together with the names of the con
signee and consigner. quantity of
liquor and the date when it was hauled.

COMPENSATION ACT
RATES SUFFICIENT
Washington Assessments Are
Found in Many Classes to'
Exceed Needs by Far.
RE-RATING IS AUTHORIZED
Commission Ukely to Use Power
GHren in Act Effective June 10
and Apply Results of Three -----Years'
Experience.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. April 10. (Spe
cial.) Three and one-half years' ex
perience under Washington's compen
sation act, completed April 1. shows
that in all instances the rates of
assessment for industries, as fixed in
the original draft of the law, have
been sufficient.
In many classes the legal rates of
assessment have been shown, by ac
tual experience, to be three or four
times as great as is necessary. The
Legislature this year granted to the
Industrial Insurance Commission au
thority to rerate classes in its discre
tion, and it is likely that, as soon as
the new law goes into effect, June 10,
the Commission will take advantage of
this new power.
The law roughly fixes the rate for
each class automatically. The Com
mission is required to assess each class
at the legal rate, but may drop assess
ments temporarily when the class fund
has a sufficient balance. On the other
hand, if the legal assessment for the
full 12 months should find a class with
a deficit at the end of the year, the
Commission is empowered to make a
further assessment pro rata against
ail concerns in the class.
Class C "Calls" Lead,
This has never been necessary, how
ever. The greatest number of monthly
"calls" has been made against class
No. 3. Including pile-driving, dock-excavation
work, etc., concerns in this
class being called to pay assessments
for 32 months of the 42 since the law
has been in operation. From this point
the number of monthly calls drops off
to class No. 41, including all printing
establishments, in which it has been
necessary to make assessments for only
five and one-half of the 42 months.
Class No. 10, including ail logging
and lumber manufacturing concerns,
which has 40 per cent of the accidents
of the state, has been called on for 30
months of the 42, and another three
months' call is due to be made in April,
as the balance of this class is nearly
depleted. , , ' .
The rates pf assessment specified by
law range from 1.35 to 6.50 on each
100 of payroll, but the rates that aotu
ally have been levied, en account of
the "skipping" of numerous assess
ments, range all the way from 19 cents
to $4.95.

LAND TO GET WATER
Farmers Near Grants Pass
Form Own Company.
1000 ACRES IN PROJECT
Centrifugal Pump Driven by Elec

From Klver Nearly 3 Miles
of Ditches Complete.
GRANTS PASS, Or., April 10.
(Special.) The farm.ers In that portion
of Rogue River Valley just west of
Grants Pass have organized a co-operative
irrigation corporation. Owners
of approximately 1000 acres of land
have signed up, and nearly two miles
of irrigation ditches have been built.
The ditohes are five feet wtoe at tne
bottom and six feet at the top, and
are capable of carrying 10.000 gallons
of water a minute. The water is to
h numoed from the Rogue River by a
centrifugal pump driven by an electric
motor. It will pe torceo nrsi io
knoll, and then piped across the valley
to a highllne ditch, and from the
ditch diverted on the 1000 or more
acres of land.
The cost of Installing the plant win
be $5 an acre. A 100-horsepower eleo
trlc motor and a 12-inch centrifugal
pump have been purchased and will be
installed prior to June 1 in order to
give water to these lands on and after
that date.
Reservoir to Be Dm.
A reservoir 130 feet wide by 300 feet
long will be dug six feet deep on the
top of the knoll, rrom mere n. win
be taken bv gravity through a 84-inch
pipe and carried across the valley to
the tootbllls on tne norm.
n farmers are rjreoarlns: their lands

alfalfa will be planted this Fall. The
most of the 'land will be planted to
corn this season, and after tne narvest
ing of this crop will be sowed to
alfalfa. , .
Cut Kept Down.
The ditch digging is being carried on
under the direction of Joe Russell, and
rh ditchinar is being done at a few
cents less than ?1 a rod. Ditch dig
ging of this kind usually costs not less
than 12.60 a too, it is am.
Al..- Hood, owner of one of the
largest parcels of land to be irrigated
by the system, is oireciing muin, vu
