Electric company here, charged with embezzlement of 13200 of the com pany a funds, was begun in probate court here yesterday with Attorney ttomer c. amis acting for the de fendant and Prosecuting Attorney stepnan representing the state. Other similar charges have been filed against Mr. Douglass, several of which are scheduled for trial in the near future. He Is well known in southern Idaho. ONE WOMAN ENTERS LISTS Mrs. Hidden fn Race on Bourbon ' Ticket Oregon Entitled to ' . '.- Ten Representatives. Eight democrats and five republi cans have filed formal declaration of their candidacy for delegates to their respective party conventions. Fully a score of republicans have been men tion as possible candidates or have expressed a desire to be delegates, but they have not taken the trouble to file with the secretary of state. Half a dozen democrats are prepar ing to file. Thus far there is neither republican nor democrat from the third congres sional district, Multnomah county filed, although Hamilton Johnstone has announced his candidacy as a republican and Bert E. Haney as dera ocrat. State Has Ten Deirgafes. There will be ten delegates from Oregon at the conventions. Each con gressional district elects two del gates and there are four to be elected at large. It is to capture these dele gates at Chicago that General Wood Senator Johnson, Senator Poindexter and Governor Lowden are making a campaign in this state. No prospec tive democratic presidential candi date, however, has made a like move albeit petitions are' in circulation to put the names of Herbert Hoover and William G. JIcAdoo on the ballot. Keither Mr. Hoover nor Mr. McAdoo have sanctioned the use of their names. .Filings for the republican national convention with the secretary of state y.re: Delfsate-at-Iarse Oliver M. Hickey, fomana; Wallace .Mccamant, Portland. First district Frank T. Wrightman, baiem. Second district M. Z. Donnelt, The Dalies; P. S. Curi, Pendleton. Democrats who have filed are: DeiesBte-at-large Maria L. T. Hidden, Portland; T. H. Crawford, La Grande; trt-derlck V. Ilolman, Portland. First district P. I,. Prazier, Salem; W. H. Lownlnir, Shawr. Marion county. Second district Nolan Skiff, La Grande Will M. Peterson, Pendleton; Frank L. Young, Lakeview. One Woman In Itare. Thus far only one woman has filed as a candidate for delegate, this be ing Mrs. Hidden. It is expected that there will be one or two more enter tlie lists on the democratic ballot and there is a prospect of a woman or two on the republican ballot. National Committeeman K. E. Wil lams has made reservations for the delegates and alternates from Oregon at a Chicago hotel, and a similar service has been performed for the democratic delegates and alternates at San Francisco by National Com mitteeman J. W. Morrow. Delegates pay their own expenses. Oregon na tional committeemen also will have the appointment of assistant ser jeant-at-arms and doorkeepers at the big shows. These jobs carry a daily wage. Thus far the candidates who have filed for delegate have carefully re frained from committing themselves to the fortunes of any presidential aspirant Some of the candidates who filed early for delegate four years ago made the mistake of Identifying themselves with presidential possi bilities who did not strike a popular chord and so they were left at home. W. T. Vinton, president of the sen ate, and resident of lamhiU county, may be a candidate for delegate.

Tregoe, in addressing the members should take a bigger part In legisla tive affairs. Already' there is a ten dency in this direction. "The government must encourage personal initiative and efficiency in private businesses. What happene during the period of government con trol of the railroads has convinced u that the government must keep its hands off except to the point of en couraging private businesses. The ex cess profits tax must be repealed and quickly. It penalizes brains and bur dens business. For it must be substi tuted a tax which has equal applica tion to all, everyone being made to contribute according to his means. People Now In Dream. "Everything possible must be done to give Europe raw materials and food and to hasten a return to normal conditions in those countries. "The people, many of them, are living as though in a dream. But they must wake up. The same spirit of sacrifice which played bo effective a part during the war must continue until our present problems are solved. Extravagance and speculation must be curbed; work and thrift encouraged and by all means the radical situation must be so met and handled that the man or woman who does not like our government will find it uncomfort able to remain in this country."

Newell Submits Report on Willamette Crossing. $62,250 HELD TO BE FAIR Railroad's Demand of $71,416 Is Declared Excessive County Formerly Paid $48,867.06. J. P. Newell, who was selected by the Multnomah county, commissioners to investigate the request or tne Union Pacific system for a rental of f 71,416 for the upper deck and ap proaches to the O.-W. R. R. & N. railroad bridge across .the Willamette, instead of the annual rent of -48,-867.96, which has been paid for the last four years, recommends $62,250 a compromise figure, in a report submitted to the commissioners yesterday. This is believed by Mr. Newell to be a fair rental for the bridge, tcking into consideration a fair rate of in terest on the investment, additional taxes paid by the company on account of the existence and use of the high way deck, maintenance expense, and depreciation. Such amounts should be paid on account of depreciation, ne thinks, as will, with compound inter est until the end of the life of the bridge, amount to the cost of too highway part. . Predictions Erroneous. 'Only the first of these can be de termined with mathematical accuracy at a figure which properly may be considered as fixed throughout the life of the bridee." Mr. Newell reports "The others vary in amount and the correctness of estimates or tneir amounts depends on the accuracy with which we can predict future events. 'Such predictions always will prove more or less erroneous, ana since neither party desires to profit by such errors,-, I recommend that it be your policy to make a contract for the use of the bridge for a brier term oi years, not less than three nor more than five, and that on renewal of such contract a review be had of all pre vious transactions, so that any injus tice to either party may be corrected bv adiustment of the terms of the new contract." Settlement Retroactive. The railroad company s demand,, as ubmitted to the county commission rs the first of the year, is for an increase of $22,749, or nearly 50 per cent. The increase recommended oy Mr. Newell is $13,383. Though the figures on which Mr. Newell base's his recommendation conform some what closely to those submitted by the railroad, he disregards the peti tion for annuity to cover deprecia tion on the value of the bridge for the next three-year period, instead recommending that with successive three-year contracts the depreciation item be increased $2100 annually. Any settlement made by the com missioners will be retroactive to Jan uary 18, when the last agreement ex pired. The railroad company may con vert the bridge into a toll bridge if a compromise with the county is not effected. Marshall and Edwards Xamed. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 6.
