CONSCRIPTION
SURELY
COMING
ENGLAND
NOW, BELIEF OF MANY
Neutral Observers Believe the
Britons Will S-ubmit If It
Comes to Showdown.
BOTH SIDES ENCOURAGED
Thou Favoring Compulsory srrlcs
Pleased bjr Uoyd-Qeorge's State
ment Zt May Be Weoessary.
By Ed Ii. Kri.
London, Sept 20. (U. P.) Great
Britain will not force her sons Into the
army except a a last resort,
t But If conscription Is necessary, It Is
Unlikely that a "civil war" or "social
revolt" will result, despite the free use
. of these terms by Its opponents.
This is the Judgment of neutral ob
servers who have had an opportunity
to study the British mind. In this con
nection they remember the general
British proneness to threaten rebellion
When confronted with a possibility of
enactment of objectionable measures.
Finally Submitted.
They recall the time when David
Liloyd-Oeorge's national Insurance
scheme was proposed, and when hun
dreds of thousands swore they would
never "lick stamps for them." But
they meekly submitted when It came
to a showdown.
Neutrals are satisfied that conscrip
tion would be accepted In the same
way.
Lloyd -George's letter, calling upon
the nation to give the government an
opportunity to decide the conscription
question,' made public through the
press bureau today, made a most excel,
lent impression.
It was generally regarded as much
a statement preparatory to a conscrip
tion move as an appeal to national
unity, and It was hoped that It would
result In scotching the Intrigue. If any
axlsts, for overturning the ministry.
Conscription Only Solution.
'An aggressive minority Is expected
to continue Its agltution against com
pulsory service, but it is believed that
the conscription issue hereafter will be
less prominent than it has been lately.
Conscription advocates were encour
aged by Lloyd-George's opinion that
conscription Is the only solution of the
problem confronting England. They
were likewise encouraged by the speech
of J. H. Thomas, M. P., at Debtford,
Indicating that if conscription is shown
to be the only means of saving the
empire from an inglorious peace, work
Ingmen will not oppose it.
England Facing Crisis.
Lloyd-George h letter, addressed to
one of his constituents, said that the
government is thoroughly examining
the question "with a view to coming
to the right decision." lie sounded a
warning that England Is facing a grave
crisis, which may necessitate conscrip
tion In fact, a crisis which, he said,
requires "our whole strength." He felt
certain that if the government stated a
clear case of conscription no man would
resist it.
Would Submit to Conscription.
Tarls. Hcpt, 20. (V. V. ) British So
cialists will sub:nit to conscription if
such a wtep ls needed for the success
of British arms, John Hodge, M. P..
today declared, in an address to Pari
sian Socialists.
"Not only will British Socialists
ubmlt to this move, if necessary," he
said, "but they will submit to every
thing els that is necessary to the tri
umph of our cause. Y do not want
any premature peace, but a complete
peace. We want no conquests, bu the
liberation of an oppressed people."

HARRY THAW IN PORTLAND TO MEET MOTHER
.S,
J J0fi- I
1 LNMS?c' -rrri
Mrs. William Thaw and her
given out at Sacramento, In which he
disclaimed all knowledge of Evelyn's
child.
"That's ajl I said, and that's all I'm
going to say," he declared.
During his long sojourn In and out
of Matteawan asylum for the criminal
insane, Thaw ruminated much upon
politics. He has studied the Oregon
system, which began with the Initia
tive and referendum and finished with
the most complete outworking of pop
ular government the United States now
knows. The recall of Judges appealed
to him most strongly, because he con
siders his own experience Justifies him
In the belief that Judges should heed
the verdict of Juries and not harken to
the voice of the invisible power.
On that subject Thaw gave out the
following statement:
Oregon System Approved.
"It appears probable that In Oregon
the people have so much weight with
the courts that no private Influence
could tamper with them.
"In Oregon If a jury acquits a citi
zen, no Judge Is likely to defy the
Jury's verdict. Although I was ac
quitted by a New York Jury on Febru
ary 1, 1908, that verdict was disre
garded, and J was held until I ob
tained another trial before a Jury this
year and obtained freedom.
"It appears surprising and almost
incredible that in these days in any
state in the union any single Judge
would hold a sane man when the pub
lic in the Judge's own districts knew
the man was sane. However, that is
what occurred in my case, and if I had
not had friends and some means It is
probable that I would still be In a
mad house.
"An ugly feature is that a poor man
unless he also had many strong friends
would have no assurance of fair play
under the present conditions In New
York, if he were opposed by gentle
men of wealth and Influence. Most of
my legal advisers in New York are
opposed to what Is called the Oregon
system, yet if a few reeon principles
wera Incorporated in the new New
York constitution it might be bene
ficial." Is Good Roads Enthusiast.
Thaw 13 Retting gray. His manner
ls aieri Slid nervous. He speaks with
a distinctive New York Inflection,
crisply and rapidly. When he was In
quiring about places and things to see
about Portland, his eye lit up with In
terest and ho commented eagerly on
the possibilities for observation.
Thaw crossed the continent from
New York to San Francisco in an auto
mobile, which he drove himself. He is
wearing a lapel button signifying that
he used the Lincoln highway and he
snld cheerfully that he is now a thor
ough good roads enthusiast. He ex
pects to go out over the Columbia
river highway with his mother end
sister during his stay here and see for
himself what he has heard so much
about, even so far away as New York.
"The trip back would be too hard for
mother in the automobile," said Harry,

"so we will go by train and ship the
car. I guess that wagun of mine, after
having gone clear across the conti
nent could get through over the Co
lumbia river highway and I believe it
could get back to New York as well.
But we won't try It, I guess."
Says Hich Ubertln Were Protected.
Describing his various trials and
the various lawyers who defended him.
Thaw declared that if his own attor
neys had been straight and honest the
trouble would have been ended up
years ago. He charges them w-lth hav.
lng undertaken to suppress facts and
hush up the attendant circumstances
wherein a coterie of rich libertines
wrecked the lives of young girls and
shielded themselves through their in
fluence with the courts.
This Influence, though not necessar
ily a corrupt Influence, o far as the
Individual Judges was concerned, nev
ertheless kept justice from being done.
Judges, he said, are human, and unless
they have real public opinion behind
them a public opinion that means
more than empty frothing they are
amenable to the samQ political and
social influences that hedge about men
of their position.
He expressed no animosity toward
William Travers- Jerome, often styled
his "nemesis," but declared him mere
ly a "sourbelly," who had to have a
vehicle to ride into the limelight. Fol
lowing the Metropolitan street railway
indictments, in which Thaw said Je
rome did not show up to startling ad
vantage, he found in the Stanford
White murder a vehicle abundantly
worth while.
Says Ridden Influence Felt.
"And I would have beaten him at
every turn of the road If I could have
had competent lawyers," Thaw de
clared. "I could not get them to de
fend me. All this talk about my mil
lions and the highest legal talent did
not reflect the real facts at all.
"For the most part I had to be con
tent with riffraff counsel, because the
good lawyers were themselves so close
ly in tuich with the influences that
beset the courts that they could not
afford to take my defense."

Taris, Sept. 20. (U. P.) A large
number of citizens, including the as

when the Germans bombarded St. Me

an etymological, as well as a nauti

UMATILLA DELEGATE
TO GRANT CONFERENCE
SUGGESTS
SOLUTION
The Railroad Would Receive
$2,50 Per Acre and Obtain
Concessions Under Plan,
LETTER TO COMPANY
C. F. Strain Asks Southern Faclfle to
Fulfill Expression of Willingness
to Meet State Half Way.
Suggesting a compromise with the
Southern Paclflo Company whereby
the railroad may receive $2.60 an
acre for lands comprised In the
Oregon & California land grant, and
also obtain concessions as to taxes
and any other equitable claim, while
the state of Oregon may benefit in
the addition of money to its school
fund, an open letter to the railroad
officials has been issued by C. P.
Strain, a delegate to the recent land
grant conference for Umatilla county.
Mr. Strain's letter says:
"Pendleton, Or., Sept. 20. 1916.
"To the President and Directors of
the Southern Pacific Company:
"Gentlemen: Since you expressed,
through your distinguished attorney,
Mr. Dunne, at the recent land grant
conference a willingness to meet the
I state more than half way In a com
promise, l venture lo suggest mi
you have It in your power to rescue
your O. & C. grant lands from those
who are clamoring to dispossess you
for their own pecuniary profit.
Can Make Many Claims.
"You can say to congress that you
accept the limitations stipulated by
that body in the original land grant,
as Interpreted by the supreme court
or the United States in its recent
decision relative thereto. Tou can
clainv full payment for your equity
In all the unsold lands, including
taxes paid on assessed valuations In
excess of $2.50 per acre together
with any other tenable claims which
you may have. You can say, further.
that any violation of the terms of
the gTant upon your part was done
openly, and that failure for so long
to contest your action was held by
you as signifying acceptance thereof.
"Still further, you can say that.
proceeding upon that assumption, you
incurred heavy administrative ex
penses, including timber cruises and
taxes paid on valuations in excess
of $2.50 per acre. Then you can re
cite that you are a heavy taxpayer
in the land grant' counties. You can
show that It would redound gTeatly
to your advantage1 to have the lands
classified, appraised and sold at their
full value, the entire proceeds there'
from, in excess of your equity, to be
converted into the irreducible school
fund of the state.
Asks That Trial Be Olven.
"It ls obvious that this would mili
tate to benefit you In two particu
lars. First, It would reduce your
taxes, and, second, the loan of the
fund at the customary low interest
rate therefor upon the lands of the
land grant counties would accelerate
development therein, which develop
ment would insure enlarged traffic.
"Following this stattment of your
case, you could move that congress
so modify the terms of the grant as
to permit you to deed the land to
! the state of Oregon as trustee, to be
disposed of for these purposes.
"A goodly number of the delegates
tn the O. & C. land grant conference
would second your motion. When
thus put up to congress, an over
whelming majority of the men and
women of Oregon would certainly sup
port the proposition. A popular ap-
peal like this, inspired by so pure a
I motive, woulfl touch th heart of con-
gress: and the logic of your proposal
I would not fall to carry conviction to
; their minds. ,
i "Ts not such a compromise worth
J a trial?
I "C. P. STRAIN.
I "Delegate appointed by the Court
of Umatilla County."

College Men Should
Wed College Women
"Man Bota Best Women Hs Will Tver
Se In College," Declares Sr. David
Starr Jordan.
Palo Alto, Cal., Sept. 20 (U. P.)
A warning against contracting the
habit of "falling in love." sounded by
Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor of
Stanford university, in a talk on
"What the College Man Should Be,"
was ringing in the ears of college men
of Stanford today. Dr. Jordan de
clared college men should marry col
lege women, as both are more nearly
mental equals.
"The matter of deaMng with women
ls vital to college men. The greatest
pleasure to man in life is real, old
fashioned, romantic love,'' he said. "A
man sees the best women he'll ever
see while in college. College men ought
to pick their mates from college
women.
"There is no hurry, however. Fresh
men should wait until the seniors
have had their pick. Don't fall in love
until you are sure of staying there
Falling In love was not made to be a
habit."

EFFORT TO ABOLISH
EFFICIENCY CODE IS
SUBJECT OF CRITICISM
L. J. Goldsmith, Secretary of
Taxpayers' League, Gives
His Views.
SEES AMENDMENT NEED
Fact That Xiarg-e Corporations Use Sys
tem oi Checking on Employes
Zs Pointed Out.
I It will not inspire public confidence
i if the city council abolishes the sec
tion of the efficiency code which ap
plies to efficiency records and pay
rolls, unless something better and
more adaptable is proposed at the same
time," said L. J. Goldsmith this morn
ing. Mr. Goldsmith is secretary of the
Taxpayers' league.
"1 understand that the reason some
of the city commissioners oppose the
code ls that it is 'burdened with red
tape." " continued Mr. Goldsmith.
"I don't believe in useless red tape
any more than anyone else. But why
ls it necessary to knock out the entire
system of efficiency records?
System Used by Corporations.
"The large employing organizations
of Portland the Portland Railway,
Light & Power company, the Northern
Pacific Terminal company, the rail
roads find efficiency systems indis
pensable. "In the affarls of the city, we can
not demand efficiency too strongly.
We, as citizens and taxpayers, do not
want to see favoritism played in hiring
city employes. We do not want to see
favoritism played in keeping incompe
tents on the Jobs, for you usually have
to pay two Incompetents to do one
competent person's work.
"In Justice to the work and the in
terests of the city and to the city em
ployes who faithfully endeavor to do
their work well, there should be no
change in the efficiency code except
to better it.
"Even if we grant that the men who
at present hold the elective offices in
city government are honest and could
be trusted to uie their Judgment rath
er than rules in hiring and firing em
ployes, there is in that very situation
an invitation to play favorites and
politics. And what surety have we that
officials who come after those now
holding office would not do so?
"I do not indorse the efficiency code
as it was first adopted by the city. I
do not say that it is altogether with
out fault, but the principle of the ef
ficiency code ls right, and, instead of
being abolished, it should be modified
to meet what our experience shows to
be practical and necessary."
