These, members bad been ,aUed to the WJill llouso, for this pur- lit his address last night the president : said he was most anxious to avoid the v failure of tariff commission legislation at the, present session because of any v difference as to doialls.

He feared its terms mleht suggest to the witness that he y was put Into an attitude of hostility, - i from which consideration of pure truth could scarcely be expected. However, r lie had no objection to putting the wit ness under oath. All Caa Support Commission Plan, On the merits of the proposed com mission, Itself, President Tajt said; Ttu do not awire, if I understand your present resolution that these men should fix , tariff rates or recommend rates "13 be fixed. Tou desire only that i they should furnish correct Information Son which the body, constitutionally jr charged with .fixing tariff rates, may tproperljr act, 7so that the public may have the truth from the tarlfrconimls slon, and then adlse Itself how con gress shall have en ted with respect to that truthful presentation- of premises for Its action. -"There are those who oppose the ex t Jstlng tariff and criticise it severely. There are those who uphold It as a fair measure on the whole. Now It Booms to me that both may logically and properly support the creation of a -commission.. . r' ' .

GOOD ROADS MEN ARE ENTHUSIASTIC Walla Wlla Valley Citizens Form Association for Bet t ter Highways. (Special PUpitcb to Tk Journal.) Walla Walla, Wash., Jan, II. As a result of the good roads convention here yesterday, a Walla Walla Valley Good Koads association will be formed and the movement for good roads will be made permanent In this locality.. The movement for organisation ended what was probably the greatest day for good roads that this part of the state has ever known; and President S. B. I Penrose of Whitman college voiced the opinion of those present, in presenting the motion, when he said the work should not be allowed to drop Wjlth the end of the meeting. The addresses yesterday were all good, to the, point and rull of Interest to those who attended the sessions. The men who. were there were Interested in roads, vitally Interested, and their presence meant that tney are back of the movement ' ' At the evening session Professor L. X. Hewes of Whitman college, formerly In structor In the highway department of the Rhode Island Agricultural college and a former member of the Massachu setts highway commission, delivered an exhaustive address on building roads. i; (Continued from Page One.) amounting to- 4.60. The state paid Bailey $12.75 for this lard. I bought $1.95 worth of vinegar. Bailey got $4.75 for this vinegar from the state. I never bought more tnan 6 cents or 10 cents worth of vinegar for test, except in one or two Instances, when I paid S5 cents. Bailey assessed the state 25 cents a bottle for all vinegar and there are a number of assessments on record Sterna Doubled or Tripled. . "On each warrant there is the car fare Item. I always walked when gath ering samples. I paid $2.80 for. milk samples, but Bailey, got $7.66 for milk samples from the state. And so it goes all through the records. All items are doubled,, tripled or quadrupled. There wa: nothing bold or big about Bailey's grafting. It was tittle and sneaking. "All these accounts, are charged to Balloy's expense account of $1200 a year. I always turned in a written. Itemized statement Of everything I bought Bailey paid me In cash. He did not turn my statements In to the secretary of state but rewrote them, In creased the Items and added articles' I had not bought When this Investiga tion first commenced I didn't like to be mixed up with It, but since I have found what sort of a man Bailey waa and Is, I am anxious that as a publlo service the whole thing Should be In vestigated," .V Three Deputies Save Been Heard. ;'l The evidence of the three deputy dairy and rood commissioners who resigned from service under Bailey has now been presented before the grand Jury. The evidence of Bert Pilklngton, former chemist in Bailey's office has not yet been heard. Mr.. Williamson said this morning that he had looked over pllk ington's accounts while at the capital and found that they had been altered as his own had been. "The dates of the warrants are ell Jumbled," said Williamson. "There is nothing straight about any of the rec ords. Only one familiar with the way the office was run could tell anything about them. While in Salem I dropped into a grocery store. The proprietor toid me that Bailey had been on his black list as a man who wouldn't pay his bills, during the past three years. The man was a member of the Retail Grocers' association and all the grocers who are members of this association have Bailey on this black list" It Is expected that the grand Jury will go to Bailey's office and there look over his accounts. The grand Jury made a preliminary report yesterday after noon. At that time -District Attorney George J. Cameron said that the Bailey investigation could not possibly be con eluded for several days. CONSTRUCTION OF SPLENDID P0ST0FFICE (Continued From Page One.) terior of the building will be one Im mense room, for the general handlln of mall, and will be without ptllara or partitions. Around this on three sides will be corridors for the nubile, a either end of the building will be of fices. On the second floor will be of fices for the postofflce inspectors, rail way mall sen-Ice, and other deDartmenta Of the postal service. - Creatine Postal Divisions. A feature of prime importance in con nection with the proposed building In Portland Is that congress Is expected to take favorable action soon In the mat ter of dividing the country into districts for the greater convenience of the nostal service. The bill makes one division of uregon, Washington. Montana. Idaho. north California and Alaska. bpokane, Seattle and Tacoma all have new postofflce buildings that are com bined with federal court buildingB. Port land is not only the most feasible point fqr the headouarters of the division. kht. is the only large city that has not a recently constructed postofflce build-' ing. It seems highly probable that Port land will be made headquarters for the division and that the depnrtment, tak ing intTcorislderation this nange, win arrange the new bulldlns so as to serve as headquarters for the division. Handle foreign Man, Another feature that Is to be Included in the plans for the new postofflce la that of handling foreign mall matter. The . department It Is known believes Portland will be one of the great trans fer points for maij to and from the orient,- and will tnak special provision for quarters in which to etore this mall awaiting the departure of mall steamers. It' Is the general opinion among those o have studied the' various sites of- eivd for the postofflce that the sum kM 1 tor' frT8gr''"B"ji3ST;wmBTaw t wheti the. probable increases in "value of. the property wlbln the ; next year Is taken lnte consideration.' It Is believed that while this sum may represent the present value of. the. block it does not 11 1LLIAMS0N mm RE IDS HOW A C UN RASED I represent the speculative value," which ' they f x at 1400.000 in two years. ' j Postmaster Merrick said today he'was glad condemnation proceedings would be begun because lt would remove any suspicion of graft from the deal. He believes, however.' the process will re sult In thef government paying consid erably more for the property 'than the price at which It was offered.' He said he expected the appropriation for the building woujd get through congress in a hurry and without opposition. ' The selection by the government of block "S" as a site for. the new post office is In line with what was glvdn out by special representatives of the treasury department sent here last No vember, to report on sites recommended as to the rule of the post off Ice depart ment governing the locations of new postofflces. AtJthat time these special agents of the government announced that a site near the Union depot would ultimately be selected. The theory of the dopartment Is that the chief Junc tion of a postofflce in such a city as Portland Is that of a distributing station for outgoing and transfer mail. Portland has become the great mail distributing center: for the northwest More than 75 per cent of the mall re ceived at the local postofflce Is re distributed and forwarded to outside points, and as a matter of economy It is necessary to have the postofflce lo cated as near as possible to the Union passenger station.
