THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 24, r 1911. WEST BELIEVES in PAY SUFFICIENT In View of. Fact That Voters Are Opposed to Increase, Governor, Leaves Matter to Commission.. ' - (special Wltca t ! Journal.) 7 " ' SalenvOr.. Feb. 24. On th round that th people at th election In no n oertaln term expressed themselves m being; opposed to the Increase pf the salaries of all the circuit Judges from WOO to $4000, the governor has filed the bill today with his veto. ; With II go a glimmering the hopea of all the circuit Judges In Oregon for an addi tional $1000 a year except those In Multnomah county who are paid .n ad ditional compensation by the county of Multnomah. ' ' ' The governor is Inclined to lav all judicial matters with, the commission provided Xor by the legislature and be- lleves if this commission will ' recom mend to the legislature that an increase in the salaries of the circuit judges be made he may be willing to accede to this view, The. governor takes the same stand as relating to revision of the prosecuting attorney districts and the proposed, law granting every coun ty ita own prosecuting officer, which waa vetoed by the governor this morn ing. w'-Vi . . v Explains Attitude, The message covering jthe bill . in creasing the salaries of the circuit Judges follows: ' . : - ''Through this bill the salaries of all the circuit judges, except those of the Fourth Judicial district, would be in creased. The people at the last elec tion, and In no uncertain terms, , placed themselves on record aa being opposed to any such Increase, and it not for me to consent to the circumvention of their wishes through any act of the legisla ture. Inasmuch as the . people have gone on record as being against such an Increase, and as it will result in throw ing additional burdens upon the tax payers of the state, I believe the legls latur should - have provided for . the submission of the measure to the peo ple for their approval or rejection. , j "The .legislature has authorised the appointment of a commission for the purpose of studying our Judicial system ; and making recommendations as to its revisions to the next legislature, :fand the said commission will ' no doubt, when making its report' make some rec ommendations as to the salary of our judges. In view of this, it seems to me that no harm can come from postponing this matter until the said commission makes its report." v So Believes; Governor West, Who Vetoes Bowerman Bill , 'Five Other Measures Get the Axe. (Special DUpttch to The JonrsaL) Salem, Or., Feb, J4. Governor West has vetoed senate bill 54 Introduced by 8enator, Bowerman which was Intended to strike at state officials who might be interested in supplies to be sold to the . state. . .... The governor says in affixing his veto to this bill: "In my opinion the provisions of the law are already sufficient to protect the state and local governments from in Jury by reason of public officers having a possible Interest in furnishing supplies to the state.- Under this bill, if one ' share of stock in a farmer's fruit union or company should happen to be owned by a member of the legislature, or any state officer drawing a salary, : that company would be prohibited from sell ing a box of apples to any state institu tion, and under most drastic penalties. "I respectfully submit that the bill is too far reaching to be for the best in- ) terest of the people in the purchase of public supplies, and for the reasons stat ed herewith return this bill with my veto." ; '. , Kore Expense Eliminated, - Senate bill 166, by Senator Barrett of Washington, adding about 11900 addi tional expense to the conducting of the , district attorney's office in the Fifth judicial district, comprised of Columbia, Clatsop, Clackamas -, and Washington counties, was- vetoed by the governor this afternoon. Senate bill tlT. by Senator, Calkins or Lane county, providing a different rule for bringing actions against cor- porations met up with the governor's ax for the reason that the governor could Sea no reason for making this dis crimination whether It be in favor ot against the corporation. ' Senate bill 43, by Senators Burgess and Hawley, creating a live stock sarfl- , tary board and appropriating 450,000 for the eradication of disease among live stock Is vetoed and adds largely to the total of appropriations cut down by the governor. The governor says that the interest of , the taxpayers demand that this bill do not neoome a law at this time though there may be merit to the bill. , r Warner X.an4 Bills Tttoed. ," Senate bill ?3 by Senators 'Bean and Calkins of Lane county, increasing the cost, of conducting the office of the prosecuting attorney in the Fourth pros ecuting attorney, district , about $1800. was vetoed. .- . . ..;, Representative Thompson's house bill 2S9. confirming the title to certain i. leged awsmp lands in Warner valley, 1 .; w tmon mis arternoon for the reason, the governor holds that the bill will not accomplish what it was held out to accomplish, but will only serve to make conditions more complicated in that celebrated land case,; .

Sent .at. Once; What Red Cross Is Doing. Recent advices from China Indicate that conditions "in the famine district are as bad as have oeen rumored and are growing worse as days go by, says a-news letter issued by the American Red Cross. Two and a half million Chi nese will die for the want of bread if assistance is not rendered immediately. This number comprises nearly the entire population of the northern part of the provinces of Kiang-Su and Annul. The famine in China is tne aireci re sult of the great floods which inun dated the provinces mentioned last sum mer, ruining the crops. Consequently there was no harvest and the supply of food on hand was not sufficient to sus tain the people of these sections until the next harvest. In fact, unless prompt aid Is rendered there will not be a next harvest, as the Chinese will eat the seed instead of planting It During the first days of the famine mothers endeavored to sell their babies to provide food for themselves and save the children from starvation. , Now they are trying to give the children away in the hope that those to whom the babies are given will be able to feed them. Along the banks of the Grand canal the victims of this ter rible calamity are . living in mud and water, with only shacks of matting over their heads, hoping against hope that they may exist until boats bearing the staff of life come up the canal to re lieve them, tiV. ,.';'''.- 'V Writing from Hwat, Yuan, via Nan king, E. C. Lobenstine of the Ameri can Presbyterian mission, describing the conditions which exist in the country immediately about Hwai Yuan, says: "The magistry of Hwai Yuan has an estimated population of 800,000 persons. The number of famine sufferers those who must be relieved or die In this magistry alone amounts to approxi mately iOO.000 70 per cent of the en tire population. Last year the flood was the worst here in many years, and the crops were poor, ; The wheat suf fered from drought and only one third was saved. This year about half' of the Wheat was harvested, but in the region north of Hwai two tornadoes and then the flood carried away practically everything. "The need bere is great, and the con dition of the-poor is as serious as-that in other parts. Reports come In dally of people dying of starvation. The poor who nave children are trying to sell them, but even they will not sell for pittance. Help Is' needed at one. As soon as the real cold and wet weather sets in the death rate will . Increase greatly. "One million people are dependent on outside relief, end these will die of starvation if relief is not given and they are kept in this region. Five months must be counted on. and a family can not .exist on less than one oent per bead per-day, if . for that , 'TVe are eagerly hoping for help from the Red Cross society." This statement only gives an idea of the conditions In one portion ef the great famine district. 5 . To a correspondent Miss. Boardman. of tha American Red Cross, stated: "Tb plague is creeping southward to ward this famine district It has rav aged Manchuria, and thousands of ref ugees who have fled to Chefoo, in Chan- tun g province, have carried it; ther. Hundreds of deaths occor daily. The frosen ground prevents the burial of the dead and long rows of coffins Ike on the roadside. American Consul-Oeneral Wilder, at Shanghai, cabled to the Red Cross that people stricken , with this plague die within a few hours, and that IJLis oi so iatai a nature no one ever recovers. The people have at last con sented to cremation,, and several thou sand of these bodies have been burled. "The Red Cross has sent from Manila Dr. Mtlchard Strong and , Dr. Oscar Teague, plague experts, to aid the Chinese government to fight the spread of this fata) pestilence. It is now only about 160 miles from the provinces In Which the famine exists, and if it ever reaches there the result will be appall ing." . . , , , President Taft aa president of the American Red Cross, has sent out an urgent-appeal to our people to aid China, which is suffering from these dual calamities. Contributions of money can be sent to the American Red Cross, Washington. D. C. If the people of .America desire to help these sufferers In China they must act immediately. The Red Cross makes all remittances to China by- cable, through the state department, thus In suring safe passage of funds from the giver to the beneficiary and the speedy application of such funds where they will do the most good.

(Copyright 111 by the United Press.) Boston, Feb. 14. Louis D. Brandels. the lawyer to whom presentation of the shippers' case to the Interstate Com merce commission is declared to oe larcelv due that tribunal's , decision against higher flight rates, today ridi culed the assertion, that the roads would fight He added: . -I drt nar believe the management of any-enlightened railroad will fight the decisions against the rats increased, after the full and fair hearings before tha Interstate commerce eomauHi. The question has, been considered for six b months, and a.Uave oeen given opportunity to argue for and against ths proposed rates, .'. V -."Th decisions were based on evi dence and the opinion of the commis sioners" was unanimous: inai opinion so far as it has been given to the pub llo shows - that the subject has been carefullr -considered and that the de cision of ths ' commission was Inevit able, y w - - Bead will Benefit. , "t do not bllev ther Is any Justi fication for , tb ' slump in the stock market today. On the contrary, I think that railroads ' like V th Reading will finally conclude that the decision of the Interstate Commerce commission will lead them to a brighter future. "It will be remembered that a nunu ber of - so-called railroad defeats have been but avenues to greater prosperity. It will also be remembered that when ths commerce law made conditions more stringent, notbwithstsndlng that the roads had been beaten, the abolition of rebating was really a great step forward. Likewise, the railroads when they were forced to abolish passes mad a distinct gain without a single disad vantage. "Then the roads were forced ty law, after a long contest, to apply safety devices to their cars. AH will admit that this reform spelled a great gain In transportation. The roads considered the limitations of their employes hours of labor a heavy burden, but the most enlightened railroads rejoice now with the community over that step to pro cure proper, and safe conditions. Hallways Must. Kelp Themselves. , "Nothing has so aroused the American people against the railroads for years as the attempt at raising rates. The decision of the commission undoubted ly will b followed by efforts by en lightened railroad managers to bavc the roads help , themselves. This is bound to result In immense improve ments and economies in operation and management. These will secure to the roads tb cooperation of the American people. "I do not believe the railroad im provements will be curtailed or that the earnings of, the railroads or their employes will be reduced. On the con trary, railroad prosperity, with greater i efficiency, will be placed, on a firmer basis and the principles of scientific management as applied to railroads will be sure to produce, as in other branches of industry, higher wages." RAILROADS WILL MAKE APPEAL TO COMMERCE COURT (Continued from Page One.) proposed advances In freight rates. The appeal will be made to th court of commerco before March lo, and an in junction to nullify the decision of the commission will be asked. By this method, the railroads believe, it may be possible to obtain a reversal of ths commission's findings. Action must be taken before March 10, because the commission, In its decision, announces that unless the tariffs were withdrawn It would Itself fix the rates for two years. ; , , , Authorities are not agreed as to whether or not the commerce court hss ths power to enjoin the lnterestste com merce commission, but the railroads, relying on favorable opinions by some of their lawyers, have determined to make the attempt. . Supreme Court Belled. Upon. - One of the leading railroad attorneys here today voiced the determination of the 'big traffic systems. "We will carry the case 40 th United States supreme court," he said, "if the commerce court falls us, and will ask an Injunction against Uie Interstate commerce commission and the commerce court as well. We will produce evi dence showing that the Increased rates asked are necessary to enable us prop erly to conduct our business." Opinions by the legal lights for th government are that the legal obstaclss th railroads can erect may Indefinitely delay the effectiveness of ths interstate commerce commission's decision. Effect on Tartiss Interest. : Elation of shippers, th entire country over, and corresponding .. .dejection of railroad managers are expressed today In the telegrams that are pouring In hers as comments on the decision. Attorneys for the railroads say the commission k has dealt a blow at the very vitals of the railroad industry. The decision prevents lnoreases In rates from becoming effeotlv for two year after March 10. By it freight Increases totalling over 226,000,0)0 an nually have been forestalled. The railroads had expected that the decision would b a compromise, per-J mittlnar an increase ln 'ratn nn anm ' of those commodities in which traffic is heaviest - Brandels Credited With Tlotory.
