10 THE SUNDAY OREGONfAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER IV 1922 PROGRESSIVES TRY ,10 CAPTURE IDAHO Newspaper to Be Estab lished at Twin Falls. COMBINATION IS PLANNED Democratic Chairman Proposes Conference to Join Forces in legislature. BOISE, Idaho, Dec 16. (Special.) The "committee of 48," which is backing the third or progressive party movement in the United States, has decided to give Idaho considerable attention from now on, which means that it will spend considerable campaign money on organization in the hope that twb years hence H. F. Samuels, defeated gubernatorial candidate, can be elected governor and the state gov ernment can be seized by the pro gressive party. Mr. Samuels has been in Wash ington in conference with the com mittee. He told the "higher ups" that the change gi 5000 votes In the last election in this state in his favor would have resulted in elect ing him governor. He polled ap proximately 40,000 votes to 50,000 polled by C C. Moore, governor elect. The committee decided that if the progressive party could ride into second place In strength in this state after little organization work had been done, it has excellent pros pects of going Into first place with greater organization work and the .expenditure of more money. Sir. Samuels Buys Into Paper. Mr. Samuels made his first move toward strengthening the party when he let it be known that he had invested heavily in its official organ, the Free Press, a daily paper published at Nampa. He became one of the chief stockholders. It has also been given out that the party will establish another paper in the state, probably in the Twin Falls country, for general circula tion over the southeastern part of the state, into which the party broke at the last election, gaining surpris ing strength In that section, par ticularly in Bonneville and Bing ham counties. Mr. Samuels will make his home Ir. Boise, the state capital, where he caq keep in touch with all political maneuvers and constantly meet progressive party leaders and workers. The plan is to start or ganization work for the election two years hence immediately, and to get a working force in the field advocating the election of progres sive party candidates. Combination Is Planned. Progressive members elect and the democratic members-elect to the legislature plan to work out a joint legislative programme to carry out the platform pledges of the two parties. Their platforms are almost identical. Will H. Hornibrook, state chairman of the democratic party, proposed the conference to reach an agreement. Frank E. Johnnesse, state chairman, said it would be referred to the state committee. Apparently the progressives are Itgnimg say oi. me piuyuoai auu the present time-, at least nave no intention of joining with the demo crats. It is said the progressives are holding off because they do not want to make it appear that there Is a possibility of a combination. Groups of members-elect to both the senate and the hpuse are hold ing meetings in various parts of the state. They have been in session for some timo in southwest Idaho. The northern Idaho members-elect met at Lewiston and it is under stood there was a conference of the southeastern Idaho members-elect in Pocatello. The purpose of these meetings is not so 'much for organ ization as to determine questions of policy and legislation. All Agree on Tax Cuts. All of the members-elect seem to be determined to hitch to an eco nomical programme that will hold appropriations to the minimum and reduce taxes. The republican party is pledged to a restricted road con struction programme and this will cause a lively tilt in the legislature because there are many good roads . advocates in all three parties who will insist on the state adopting a progressive policy toward road building and go ahead on a pro gramme of construction instead of standing still. air. Moore to Use Ax. In the meantime Governor-elect Jloore is making a close study of the situation that exists with regard to the state government and figur ing where he can use the ax to the best advantage. He intends to chop down a number of the departments. This word has gone through the statehouse and naturally . there are a number of uneasy heads. The governor-elect is making the best possible uso of his time as act ing governor while Governor Davis is away. He has declined an invi tation to go to Washington to at tend a conference of governors to discuss plans for enforcement of the prohibition law on the grounds of time and expense and suggests that the matter be taken up by corres pondence between the governors. This is taken to indicate his first step toward putting into force and effect an entrenchment policy and frowning down on official junket ing trips. museum purchases, but many have I been gifts. Among the oil paintings are works Dy viaminlck, Pissaro, Emile Ber nard, Brlssaud, Rameau, Grassin, Terrus, Wilder. Walter Griffin, Ar thur B. Davies, Jqhn W.

THE PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., Dec 16. If every member of the Seattle city council sits tight till Monday afternoon and no minds are changed, an ordinance wil lbe passed giving a five-cent fare, with a ltt-cent- charge for transfers on the municipal street railway system. To get the benefit of this transfer charge, four tokens will have to be bought for a quar ter. Othrwise the transfer charge will be two cents each. The minds of council members have been subject to so many muta tions on this subject that it would be unsafe to say that the ordinance will surely pass. In joint meeting of the finance and utilities commit tees of the council, which comprise the full council membership of nine, the proposed ordinance has been ap proved by a five-to-four vote. The majority was due to the fact that one councilman changed his mind overnight.. Another Chang of mind might reverse the vote. The ordinance as now agreed upon is in line with the recommendations of Mayor Brown and will have his approval If adopted on Monday. It will bring the new fares into effect on March 1.

Peter de Roo recently was ap pointed "a member of the papal household, with the title of mon signor, by Pope Pius XI. News of his elevation to that dignity was brought to Mount Angel college by the Most Rev. Alexander Christie, archbishop pf Oregon City, upon receipt of the papal brief bearing the commission. The honor is conferred on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Father de. Roo's ordination- as a Catholic priest, which will occur during the coming year. The in vestiture will take place in January. Father de Roo, who Is best known by his great historical work, "His tory of America Before Columbus," is making his , home here at the monastery while Father Bede, O. S. B., is' perfecting the manuscripts of the former's projected work, "Life of Alexander VI." : Priest Is of Nobility. Father de Roo was born In Bon chaute, Belgium, in 1S39. His parents were of the nobility. His studies for the priesthood were made at the seminary at Ghent. He later became a professor of the University of Louvain . and claims the honor of having tutored the first abbot-primate of the Benedic tine order. Right Rev. Hildebrant Dehemptine. While assistant priest in Tamise, where he was stationed for 6 years, Father de Roo wrote the "Life of St. Aemilia." At this time he was affected by a strong desire to go to America as a missionary. His request was granted and he came to America and commenced his missionary work at Baker City in 1873, where he labored for 17 years. Second Pariah at Pendleton. His second parish was at Pendle ton, where he remained for five years. It was during this time that Father de Roo went to Rome in the interests of his contemplated biog raphy of Alexander VL The parish of Verboort, Or., next claimed Father de Roo for eight years. The German parish of St. Joseph in Portland was served by him for a similar length of time. Father de Roo was enabled to take charge of this last named church through the fact that in doing re search work it was necessary for him to learn the German language. While pastor at St. Joseph's church he became incapacitated-and was forced to retire from active work. Since coming to Mount Angel college Father de Roo has regained much of his old time vigor, and although he is 84 years of age he is one of the most learned men in the diocese. ; on Christmas -is usually a problem, and it is our wish to be of service to you in a satisfactory solution of this problem.
