Another falsehood, published by the
Oregonian Jn an effort to bolster the
candidacy of K. A. Booth for the Unit
ed States senate, has been nailed by
Hon. B. F. Jones of Roseburg, who
was a member of the house of repre
sentatives of the state legislature at
the same time that Mr, Booth was a
member of the state senate.
The Oregonian says that as a mem
ber of the state legislature Mr. Booth
always worked for woman suffrage.
Mr. Jones cites the page of the 1907
senate journal which shows that Mr.
Booth voted against a resolution sub
mitting the question of equal suffrage
to the male voters of the state. He,
by his vote, refused even to let the
men voters of the state have a chance
to . vote dn the question of whether
tjhey should gl.ve to the women the
xame suffrage rights that they pos
Keesed. In a message to The Journal.
Mr. Jone80say:
"Under the headlines, Tlr. Booth Is
Advocate of National Women's Suf
frage.' the Oregonian of yesterday
says: 'As a member of the state leg
islature and as a private citizen Mr.
Booth always worked for and voted
for the enfranchisement of - women.
Now that the women of Oregon enjoy
the suffrage privilege, he Is Working
with his characteristic earnestness for
.the enfranchisement of, women in other
states. He fs in favor of nation-wide
wdmen's suffrage
"Now let us see what R A. Booth's
record la on women's suffrage. At
the 1907 session of the legislature
Introduced house Joint resolution No.
13, amending the constitution to pro
vide equal suffrage. On February 8,
J90T. the resolution passed the house
by a vote of 31 to 21. On the 11th
day of February, 1907. the said resolu
tion came up In the senate artd was de
feated by a vote of 20 to 7. R. A.

voted against this resolution. See sen

gain, of over the same number
of days last April. The cost of clerk,
hire remained the same, which means
that the profit was much greater.
These records not only indicate the
success of the parcel post, but give
opportunity to say that It Is the policy
of the present administration to ex
tend the service and constantly in
crease Its efficiency."
Biff Gain In Exports.
The northwest's grain export abroad
this year will bring to the northwest
$30,000,000, predicted Mr, Mills" this
morning. This does not include ship
ments to California of ' elsewhere in
this country. Thirty million dollars
represents SO.OOOiOOO bushels of wheat,
or wheat turned into flour, because
every bushel of wheat is worth a dol
lar. Last year the foreign grain ex
ports of the northwest totaled 25.000,
000 bushels. The gain is 5,000,000
bushels; in money the gain is greater,
because prices are better.
"A nimble $30,000,000 in the north
west means much," said Mr. Mills. "It
rnii to the farmers and the idealers.
It will be spent paying bills at the
country stores and other places. It
will circulate among the banns, it win
spell "ready money among a nose oi
businesses.

lives here.
lumber Market Encouraging.
The lumber market has been slug
gish, but I am firmly convlncea tne
lumber market has struck bottom.
When it oe's it will go upward. The
outlook is hopeful. Lumber may now
be shipped through the Panama canal
to the Atlantic seaboard at 40 per cent
of the rail haul. -This means that we
have opportunity not only to market
lumber on the eastern seaboard, but
as far back as Pittsburg and Buffalo.
As soon as the people of the east be
come accustomed, to the use of 'our
light fir after the heavier southern
pine, our market for lumber in we
east will constantly grow.
"The shipment of lumber and other
of our products through the Panama
canal will have great effect on ship
ping. It will not be a great number or
years before lines of vessels will be
arriving and leaving our Pacific ports
dally. We will begin to realize- soon
what the Panama canal means to us In
commerce and community building-
"Our lumber Bhould find buyers
among the farmers west of the Mis
sissippi, territory we can serve by
ralL The crops in that region
financially. These is a good crop of
wheat in the middle, west. This will
be sold, but must wait largely upon
the return to normal conditions of
ocean transportation. The cotton of
the south upon which bo much of our
prosperity depends, must find a mar
ket. But all will be slow and
sure,
"As I said before, this country la
fundamentally and financially all
right. By its righteousness and far
sightedness It will take its place as
the dominating nation of the earth.
"The attitude of big business to
wards the Wilson administration is
changing. X am a corporation man
myself and feel that he is sincere and
that in time his policies will prove a
blessing. The country ' should be
thankful that he Is our president."

New York, Oct. 28.- Hereafter
will be "Made in the TJ. S. A."
That slogan will replace that
"Made in America" In the battle for
commercial supremacy by American
business men. Miss Annie H. Peck.
mountain climber and explorer, was
responsible for the change.
At a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel here today of business men and
others interested In a campaign to
popularize American-made goods. Miss
Peck strongly advocated the change.
"How would it do for us to say that
Uruguay was fast becoming Amer

Americanized," she said. "South
Americans are as much Americans as
we are, and any slogan which hurts
their feelings will Injure our trade."

mary, for the sane or geiung discus
sion of important legislation before the
people, senators and members of con
gress are allowed to have their notable
speeches printed In pamphlet form, at
the government printing office, and
are charged the bare cost of produc
tion. The operation expenses of the gov
ernment printing office are much
e-reater than 'similar expenses In prl-
tvate establishments. If the cost were
the same as obtains in tnese private
printing houses, it is conservatively
estimated that this mass of printed
matter would cost something in ex
cess of $500.
Other candidates for congress would
have - been required to pay regular
postage rates on this mass of litera
ture, which would liave had to be
printed at their own personal expense,
at some private printing establish
ment. If any of these had sent out
such a series of pamphlets and
speeches, he would have been obliged
celved peremptory summons that un
less he did return to his post of duty
he would forfeit his pay. And so he
went back, but remained only until
October 13, when he again set out
for Oregon and his field of campaign.
This absence was the second in one
session and it began 11 days before
congress actually adjourned. This
adds $229.24 to the salary drawn while
he was absent, or a total of $2896.76.
Time Tsed Against Grorernmeat.
In an advertisement today, Mr. Laf
ferty alleges that he was absent from
duty only a little over three months,
and that during this time he was pre
senting the land grant case to the cir
cuit court of appeals at San Francisco.
Inasmuch as Mr. Lafferty's contention
in the land grant cases is diametric
ally opposed to the contention of the
government In bringing the action, it
has been pointed out that this effort
of Lafferty's is to defeat the govern
ment and therefore, instead of his be
ing engaged in "the most important
duty I could have performed for the
to pay at least $2500. or nearly three district during theee three months."
times the legal allowance under the
corrupt practices act.
Lafferty Has Advertised Heavily.
H But Mr. Lafferty's campaign has
been conducted through other channels
as his advertisement declares, he was
working In conflict with the effort of
the government to reclaim lands
charged to have been unlawfully held.
Other candidates who were making
the race during the- same period did
not have this salary to sustain them
Just as they lacked the opportunities
for presenting their claims to the vot
ers by means of cheaply bought liter
ature and free postage.
So the grand total of the Lafferty
subsidy Is reckoned at not far from
$5000.

Although he is allowed only $750 for
campaign expenses under the corrupt
practices act, Mr. Lafferty has franked
through the malls, without a penny of
expense to him, enough literature to
make the postage bill, if paid, at the
regular rate of one cent for each piece,
nearly $2000.
So far he has sent oat from Wash

Absentee Gets Big Pay.
As congressman, Mr. Lafferty

Mr. Lafferty left Washington last I
spring for Portland, arriving here
May 1. He spent the whole of May,
June and July away from Washington,
though congress was still in session
and wrestling with some great prob
lems of legislation. He started back 1
to Washington August 26. Allowing
five days for the trip each way, this
means that he was absent from duty
128 days, for which he received
$2667.62.

Belief Expressed That Indorsement of
Albee's Policy Indicates Desire to
See Saloon Eliminated.
In a statement Issued today by tfiSl
committee or one nunarea, in cnarge.
of the "Oregon dry" movement, atten
tion is called to the. fact that even In
precincts where a large labor vote was
polled, the policies of Mayor Albee
were as favorably regarded as in the
exclusively residential neighborhoods
of Portland.
The people of Portland had an op
portunity to give their approval or dis
approval of the dry policy; of Mayor
Albee, and in an. overwhelming manner
Indorsed his policy of eliminating the
saloon," reads the statement. "Mayor ;
Albee has opposed the transfer and
traffic in, liquor licenses, and thus in-!
curred the enmity of .the ealoon in- i
terests. ,
On the other hand, continues the
statement, he attracted to himself the ;
support of those who believe the traf
fic should be suppressed. If the Port
land result Is so pronouncedly in favor !
of a dry policy, Questions the state
ment, what JfcTst it mean in other
cities and thjkrmlng districts?
