Incomes, Inheritances and Mu nitions to Bear Burden of v i Preparedness Cost. QUEEN ENTRY IS BACKED 6 WEALTHY ARE HARDEST HIT Exemption Limit for Incomes Will Xot Be Lowered Shipping Bill May Be Disposed Of With Brief General Debate. WASHINGTON. May 13. Taxes on incomes, inheritances and war muni tion will be depended on to pay for the preparedness programme, Chairman Kitchin. of the House ways and means committee, said tonight after a confer ence with Secretary McAdoo. The plan has the support, Mr. Kitchin said, of President "Wilson. What amount will have to be raised cannot be determined until the Navy and Army bills are completed.. Mem bers of the ways and means committee will begin work on this problem as quickly as possible, however. Other than a decision not to lower the present exemption limit for incomes, $3000 for unmarried and $4000 for married men, none of the details of the tax. plan have been worked out. Plans for imposing stamp taxes on manufactured tobacco, liquors, beer, gasoline and other articles, Mr. Kitchin f;aid, had been definitely abandoned. He declared the plan of taxation decided on would affect only those best able to pay the levy, falling exclusively on the wealthy and on foreign nations en gaged in war. , The big preparedness revenue meas ures will not be introduced in Congress until after the conventions. Between now and that time the speeding-up campaign inaugurated recently will be continued with a view to disposing of other business by early July, if possible. Another step toward carrying out the programme was made today , when a rule on the shipping bill was intro duced. It would provide for five hours' general debate on the bill and one hour's debate on the rule itself. Lead ers hope to dispose of the bill within two days. Mr. McAdoo, who is partic ularly interested in the shipping bill, urged today that it be brought up in the House as quickly as possible, and Mr. Kitchin advised him that it would be reached Tuesday, and that all other business save that of calendar Wednes day would be set aside for it. FROST DAMAGE IS HEAVY Some Berry Growers Place Loss at 50 Per Cent of Crop. 1 HOOD RIVER. Or.. May 13. (Spe cial.) Whie the total damage to the strawberry crop of the Hood River Valley will be comparatively small, growers whose places lie in depressions known as frost pockets will suffer heavily from the frosts that have pre vailed on the past three nights. Some growers report this damage as high as 50 per cent. MelvUle Foley, a West Side berry grower, reports that his 10-acre tract will be cut short by 200 crates. UPLIFT TOPICS DISCUSSED fContimied From First Pftge. The reason why the email farmer's profits are diminishing is because it is so expensive to market in small quan tities. "The state should establish a great .public market here in Portland. It should be large enough to handle the entire output of Oregon agriculture. "with special railroad terminals in con nection with rt. It should be equipped with drying rooms, with provisions for grading, sorting, canning and like de vices which are necessary to the ban dling of agricultural products. Here the small farmer could ship his produce and the state could market it for him in large quantities cheaply end efficiently so that he might obtain his rightful returns. llranch Markets Planned. "'Similar markets should be cstab lished in every considerable town of the state, but all should be under the direction of the main market at Port land, which could best handle the plans for seeking the more distant foreign and domestic markets which would buy in quantity." ine wonting men do not favor a consolidation of labor commissions into I a State Labor Commission, according to C. 2d. Rynerson, editor of the Port land Labor Press, who spoke on th subject of proposed- legislation along inese lines. "A majority of the working people or tne state want tne power of en forcing the labor laws left in the hands .or the Labor Commissioners."-he said.

Pre mier Asquith's visit to Dublinas far as is ascertainable tonight, has been con fined to frequent conferences with the civil and military officials. The suggestion, unofficially circu lated, regarding the possibility of the formation of an Irish executive council for the management of'the government of Ireland until the. end of the war ap pears to have made a good impression in Ireland. There has been much dis cussion of the subject in all quarters. but no confirmation of such a move ment has been given by officials. Kellef to the tension in Ireland was noted today when Oeneral Maxwell, commander of the British forces, pub licly reviewed and thanked the auxil iary troops, who fought for the gov ernment against the rebels. Lady Vim borne, wife of the ex-Lord Lieutenant, and Premier Asquith accompanied Gen eral Maxwell at the review. The Pre mier declined to respond to enthusiastic calls for a speech. General Maxwell's address was an expression of gratitude to the officers' training corps which held Trinity Col lege and guarded the Bank of Ireland, both of -whiejv have become strong po sitions for the rebels; to the veterans' corps, which lost many men when the rebels attacked them Easter Monday, when they marched unarmed into Dub lin, and to drivers and attendants on the ambulances, who worked night and day succoring soldiers, civilians and rebels, without discrimination. He also praised the nurses, doctors, postmen, policemen and telegraphers, who, he said, "most nobly responded to the call of duty and performed many acts of great heroism." 0. A. G. DELAYS ELECTION EXCITING CAMPAIGN FOR STIDEST OFFICES IS 1 UKR WAY. W ith Nominations Made, Presidency la Centering Interest Lively Gath ering; Marks Contest. OREGON AGRICriTTJRAX, COLLEGE. Corvallis, May 13. (Special.) College politics are boiling at O. A. C Follow ing the nominations of student-body of ficers for next year, last week there developed one of the most exciting campaign periods of recent years. The center of the contests is the race for the position of president of the student assembly between Arthur Fertig, of Astoria, and J. D. McKay, of Portland. But slightly less exciting is the race for editor of the Barometer, the col lege semi-weekly newspaper, for which position James O'Xeil. of Chippewa I- alls. Wis., and Paul Doty, of Pasadena Cal., are supported by apparently evenly matcned groups or admirers. In the contest for president of the assembly Mr. Fertig is supported by the present student-body officers, while Mr. McKay, a sophomore, who by Summer school work will be a senior next year, is supported by the under classmen. At a special campaign mass meeting yesterday certain supporters of McKay accused a senior honor society of working to control the elections to the offices. Warm words ensued and the meeting was hastily adjourned by President G. R. Hoerner. The election was to be held today, but the absence of a large number of the students from the campus caused Photos copyright by Underwood. Lewis Vernon Harconrt and His Chil dren. The Right Hon.
