embezzlement of 13200 of the com

' 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.

convention with the secretary of state

Second district M. Z. Donnelt, The

Democrats who have filed are:

Second district Nolan Skiff, La Grande
Will M. Peterson, Pendleton; Frank L.

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.

WASTE MUST STOP,
SAYS CREDIT MI
National Director Declares
People Living in Dream.
"WORK AND SAVE" PLEA
Repeal of Excessive Profits Tax Is
Urged Before Portland Mem-
bers at Banquet to Visitors.
That extravagance and waste, as
well as speculation, are the basis of
one of the greatest problems now
confronting the nation, that of under
production, was the statement of J.
H. 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."
Mrs. Tregoe was the guest of wives
of the Portland credit men last night

COMPROMISE RENTAL
BRIDGE
URGED
J.
P. 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.
