An end of governmental "meddling and bun gling" In the financial world and a return to an era of "sober business" was promised by Senator Harding to day In addresses to delegations of business men from Indiana.

Vllators Cheer Programme. The visitors cheered the nominee as he hit at the business conduct of the Wilson administration and pro nounced his "own programme of re form. Tentative plans for speaking trips by the candidate to both coasts have reached the stage, it became known todav. where an itinerary Is under discussion. As these plans now shape up they would carry the senator into many states and wouia Keep mm away from Marion most of the time from late September to election day. Headquarters officials said a defi nite decision probably would not be reached for several days, but it was indicated that both the nominee and his managers were inclining toward the coast-to-coast proposal. The senator has taken the position that should he go into the west at all, he must visit every western state In .which there is a senatorial contest, List of Cities Made Up. the tentative list of cities to be visited is understood to include New York, Boston, Omaha, Philadelphia, Sioux Falls or Pierre, Bismarck or Fargo, Butte, Boise, Salt Lake City, Denver, Reno, Tucson, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland. Seattle and Spokane. The western swing would come first, beginning probably about Sep tember 27. - A saxophone quartet helped jaz the programme and a part of the ceremo nies at the front porch was a presen tation of a cornet to the candidate. "One has to blow his own horn in the world," said the senator, in a speech of thanks, "but I don't like the man who blows his horn too blat antly. When I was a member of the band we always had to stick to the tune. In this campaign I want to stick to the tune and I want that tune to be the one that was so beautifully rendered just now America first. vately owned, but nnder federal juris diction. Carranza, In a decree of February last, authorized the granting of con cessions to bore for petroleum within these restricted zones. The matter was at once protested, not only by private interests concerned, but also by the American and British govern ments, which official protests, it is understood, have been repeated up to very recent date. Nevertheless, according to the Uni versal, the Mexican government is apparently determined to grant such concessions to certain parties. it is probable that1 the petroleum controversy involving the British and American governments and Mexico along with the producing and refin ing companies of American and Brit ish ownership will have three chap The first was the matter of writing off vested rights to subsoil deposits by the Carranza decrees authorizing denouncements of oil claims on owned or leased properties by outsiders. The second was the matter of arriving at fair market valuation of oil as a basis of export tax assessments, which is still pending. And now, this matter of federal zone permits. CANDIDATES MUST FILE JfCXICIPAIi PETTTTOXS TO BE IX BY OCTOBER 5. Assistant City Attorney Tomlinson Presents Opinion at Request or City Council. Candidates for municipal offices must file nominating petitions and certificates of acceptance not later than October 5 and all measures sub mitted to the electorate by the city council must be filed with the city auditor by October 2, according to an opinion to be presented to the city council by Assistant City Attorney Tomlinson. Although the city charter provides that persons fil'ng for city offices must file not later than 20 days prior to the date of election, the constitu tional amendment adopted by the voters several years ago provides that city elections must be held on the same day as state elections. This constitutional amendment also pro vides that the legislature shall for mulate the procedure of conducting such elections, which was done in the 1919 session of the state legislature. The state law provides that the city auditor must file all measures to be submitted on the ballot, together with ballot titles, to the county clerk not more than 30 days nor less than 2S days prior to the date of election. It also provides that a list' of names cf all candidates who have filed nom inating petitions must be filed with the city auditor not more than 30 days or less than 28 days prior to the date of election. The date of the national, state and city election is November 2. Hence the last date allowed candidates in which to file for city offices with the city auditor is October 5. It will be necessary for the city council to pre pare and file any measures to be su6 mitted to the people by October 2 in order to allow the city auditor suffi cient time in which to prepare neces sary papers for filing with the county clerk. Assistant City Attorney Tomlinson is preparing this opinion upon the re quest of City Auditor Funk, who de. sired 'to clarify the conflict of dates for filing as they exist in the state laws and city ordinances. sociate professor of chemistry at the college, has arrived in Corvallis.
