is an expense, it may save the citizens
of the state many thousands of dollars.
"The department should place before
the citizens of the state bulletins and
other information pertaining to insur
ance companies and the business of in
surance. As the insurance department
collects one-fourth of the entire rev

collected from the taxpayers of the

should be permitted to expend funds to

equal to that of other states."
He said that the total cost of operat

collected, which was net to the state

OATH AS GOVERNOR
Situation Complicated Pend
ing Recount of Vote of
November Election.
HUNT TESTS OFFICE LOCKS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. President
Wilson today emphasized his desire for
railroad legislation supplementary to
the Adamson law by making a special
trip to the Capitol to confer with Sen
ator Xewlands, chairman of the com
merce committee, who will have charge
of expediting through Congress the
measures recommended by the President
in his recent message.
Mr. Wilson found Senator Newlands
preparing for committee hearings on
the railroad measures to begin next
Tuesday. The President's arrival at
the Senate office building late in the
day was unexpected to members of
Congress generally. and the visit
aroused unusual interest in the rail
road situation.
Although Senator Newlands would
not discuss the conference, it was
learned from an authoritative source
that recent railroad developments pend
ing settlement of the constitutionality
of the Adamson act have not altered
the President's view regarding Dupple
mentary legislation and that he still
particularly desires passage at this ses
sion of measures he recommended. They
are designed to prevent' railroad strikes
pending investigation of disputes and
to empower the President to take over
railroads, telegraph and telephone lines
In times of military necessary.
Senator to Urge Action.
This de3lre Mr. Wilson is understood
to have presented earnestly to Senator
Newlands.
Tonight the Senator, said he proposed
"to urge action on the arbitration bill
and other railroad measures as soon aa
possible."
"I do not know what the other mem
bers of the committee think," he added,
"but I will try to conclude hearings
which begin Tuesday morning on the
arbitration bill within two or three
days."
Whether President Wilson disclosed
any alarm over reports of a threat
ened strike since negotiations between
brotherhood officials and railroad man
agers in New York, were broken off,
could not be learned. After his visit
to Senator Newlands. the President
sought to locate Representative Adam
son, who has charge of the railroad
legislation in the House, but learned
that he had not returned to Washington
from his- holiday vacation.
Strike Not Expecteil Soon.
Senator Newlands, speaking of the
railroad situation generally, said he did
not believe there was any immediate
danger of a strike and that the rail
road employes would await the delib
erate judgment of Congress regarding
legislation on the subject.
"Railroad men are men of intelli
gence." said the Senator, "and realize
that labor disputes should be settled
by some fair tribunal and that punish
ment for differences between employer
and emyploye should not be visited on
the public
"The attention of the country to the
Importance of legislation on this mat
ter has been drawn as never before,
and, in my Judgment, action of Con
gress will be decisive Insofar as any
attempt to tie up commerce is con
cerned." President Wilson has not kept in
touch with details of the negotiations
between the brotherhood representa
tives and the railroads, but is under
stood to fear that the failure to reach
an agreement may lead to a reopening
of the entire controversy. He feels
that there has been enough public dis
cussion of the points at issue to allow
Congress to act promptly.

good. The crop should be heavier than

Thi3 is the report today from two
local bankers, owners of extensive

country. It has been confirmed by two
leading local buying agents.
"The total acreage this year will be
larger than it was in 1916." is the pre
diction of William Huntley, vice-presi
dent of the Exchange National Bank,
who owns a large tract near Endicott.
"The dry Fall has prevented the sow
ing of much Winter wheat, but the
prospects for the entire year, I think.

"The granaries of the world are
empty and prices next year should be
good," said Orris Dorman, president of
the Farmers and Mechanics Bank and
owner of great tracts of Palouse land.
"I think the Spring seeding will make
up for the handicap of dry weather last
Fall, although only about 25 per cent
of the usual Winter crop has been put
in."
"The Big Bend country depends upon
Snriner rains, anyway. said R. J

Russian Cry for British Help Is Re
ported by Berlin.
BERLIN, Dec. 30. (By wireless to
Sayville. N. Y.) The Russian reserves.
which were considered inexhaustible
at the beg nning of the war, says the
Overseas News Agency, are now almost
used up, as is proved by the complete
failure to bring help to Roumania and
by the cry for British help. Concern
ing the British reserve the Russian
newspaper Blrzheviya vademosty
writes:
'Luring the .first year of the war It
was pointed out repeatedly that gal
lant Great Britain was harboring in
exhaustible possibilities, and We be
lieved that the British were forming a
reserve for the entente and that this
reserve would be engaged against the
enemy at a. decisive moment, forcing
the enemy to retreat. Now, at the fall
of Bucharest, is the moment not yet
come to bring forward these reserves?"
MEDICAL SCHOOL HAS FUND
Vniverslty Branch Assured by Sub
scription of Needed $25,000.
The appropriation for the University
of Oregon Medical College, which was
passed by the last Legislature on the
condition of the raising of $25,000 to
add to the $50,000 from the state, will
not lapse through failure of the college
to have its share ol the fund on hand
in the time stipulated.
December 31 was f-et as the time limit
for raising the fund, and three weeks
ago it looked rather shaky for the
fund, for after nearly two years' can
vass the committee lacked about $7000
of completing the S25.000.
Yesterday the committee announced
that the fund was assured.
The committee was named at the
suggestion of Julius L. Meier and con
sisted of A. L. Mills, J. C. Alnsworth.
