THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON TAFT ANDMHES HARDING S CHOICE FOR BENCH, RUMOR ; By David Ijawrence J (Copyrighted. 120. bjr Tb Joanfl) i Washington, Aug. 26. Charles Evans Hughes and William Howard Taft probably will be appointed to the 'first vacancies on the supreme court of the United States that may occur after March 4 next In ! the event that Senator -Harding Is elected president. I This is the impression in well Informed '-quarters here where it is also stated rather possible that there will be - at least two vacancies before long on the bench of the highest court. - ! The certainty that Messrs. Hughes and Taft will be the choice of a Republican president is based upon logical circum etatices as well as the known friendship and admiration which Harding has for the two men who have contributed so much toward the Republican caut e i in the past. , i HUGHES RACE RECALLED I ' Hughes was on the bench, happy and . contented, when the call of the Repub , lican party , came in 1916. He was re luctant to be a candidate. He didn't lift a finger to get ,the nomination. Indeed, it was feared he would not accept, and - the story -goes that Taft. who originally appointed Hughes to the bench, spent the evening before the Chicago nomination -with Hughes in Washington, and per suaded him-to make the race. He made the fight and was defeated. His -return to practice has been lucra tive, 'butt those who know Hughes best say he has been homesick for the su preme bench. As for Taft. there was a vacancy on the bench just before Justice. Clarke of Ohio was appointed, and -the friends of the ex-president wrote many a letter to President Wilson urging htm to appoint : Taft. f The White House, of course, never makes . any comment on these things, but at the time considerable gossip ran around the national capital to the effect that Taft had fallen out of the good graces of the president because of the support which he (Taft) gave towarU the movement for the election of a Re publican congress -n 1918. I'ORTUKES MUTUAL . W . The i political fortunes of Taft and . Hughes have been bound together for many' years. The elevation of Governor Hughes" to the supreme bench came in October, 1910, at a- time when .gossip , had it that Taft was endeavoring to re move from the political horizon his most - serious contender for renomination. Both. Taft and Hughes by their pub lished statements and communications took a stand on the League of Nations before the Chicago convention 1 met this year, which differs materially from that since advanced by Senator .Harding. It is no secret that the Republican nominee and his political associates have been more or' less anxious about the dilemma of men like Taft or Hughes or Hoover, who had committed themselves to views quite opposite those of Hiram Johnson. ADVICE IS WEIGHED ' On' the other hand, the political advice that has been given the Republican nom inee is that Hiram Johnson's view is at themoment a better vote-getting posi tion. -His -worries about the other ele ments' tn'- the- Republican - party- have caused many a conference. ' The feeling here is that the consulta tion with Hughes means somewhat of . a turn toward the Hughes-Taft position on the ratification of the treaty of Ver sailles, rather than as scfane Democrats here would have it a bid for their sup-4 port on the expectation of appointment to the ' supreme - court later on. Neither Taft nor. Hughes is the type of . statesman to whom promises of re ward would appeal in matters so vital to them as the League of Nations issue, and i Senator Harding is considered here too high grade an Individual to ; play that, kind of politics. - MAY MODIFY VIEWS j So, the general' inference which is be ing drawn by those who are in. a posi tion to know what is going on inside the , Republican camp is that Harding will soon make "a speech probably on Saturday, next amplifying his League of Nations views in such a way as will command the more hearty support ; "of those who have shared' the views of . Messrs. Taft and Hughes. The impression exists, too, that Hard ing has been persuaded to believe that he will get the "better ender" or "irre- .;' e Robert W.

ADMITS FUND HELPED FIGHT MILK LEAGUE ! ; ' ' ' 'i f (Continued From Ptti On) the members abandoned their own or ganization and sold to the condensery! DAIRYING DECREASES ; f Mickie said dairying in Oregon , is de creasing, because in his belief cost of production could not be secured out" of the present prices being paid dairy farm ers fori milk. ' Particularly was this true in thet "Willamette valley, said Mickie. Harry West, proprietor - of the Red LRock creamery at Tigard, testified ; on Ttiursaay tnat ne was paying 3.u a hundred ponuds for milk as against $3.20 being" paid to milk -producers for the supply of milk of the city of Port land. "West said' he had increased his price on August 1 to $3.70. ! On the aland Wednesday afternoon West Said at first in relation to a meet ing called by him of league dairymen at which he stated certain large inter ests in Portland would furnish the cap ital to break the league, all his state ments had been made without consult ing any of the Portland milk distribu tors or the large interests mentioned. WITNESS CHECKED UP j i Later he admitted under cross-examination 'that he bad called on A. M. Work i general manager of the Portland Damascus i Milk company several days before the meeting. Asked . to reconcile bis two statements," West . said the sub ject, of the meeting was not mentioned in his conversation with Work. He said he called on Work to get information in regard to how the distributors felt about the- league. " : ' ' - ' - . - : 1 Others who testified Wednesday were Fred Strucken, a dairyman from Beav erton, and Jacob Zwingll, Joe Andregg and Jacob Luechar, all dairymen from Fairview. The substance of their testi mony was their satisfaction with the league.' of - which all were members, and of their willingness to-abide by ; any of its acts. . ! -: ; .; ; .; - communication . which was disappoint ing."

T" FOUR NOTES FROM ALLIES WARN POLES (Continued From Fin On.) regarding a Polish "civil militia, V the Bolsheviki said: "Although our interpretation of this point is justified, nevertheless we' are willing to remove this sole point of di vergence in order to establish a full understanding." , i i '"Being j a truly popular government, the Soviets by nature are peaceful and are adverse to conquests ; their true peacefulness being another kind than that ! of the government of the pro pertied oligarchies," the note said. "Animated by this spirit, the Soviets do not insist upon their interpretation of: the terms which have given rise to the present divergence with Great Brit ain and Italy and renounce their de mand for creation of a workers's militia. Thus they restore" the ; full . agreement which existed before the divergence arose." i.Jltt note then enters a. lengthy argu ment as to whether the governments of Great Britain or Russia are ; the real oligarchies a term used in the Anglo Italian note. The soviet reply said that in view of the - paramount importance of - peace, Russia iwould withdraw conditions which are objectionable to the allies in the desire to subordinate everything to peace. . . ; - - .. .

TO MEET LATEB , I Colby said he would consider goirig over the ceremony again and went into his office. i ; The women, however, left the state department without waiting for' Colby's decision. They held a jubilation at their own headquarters, a short dis tance away. " -: Miss Alice Paul declared that the suffragists will not relax their vigi lance until they are sure ? that no fur ther attempts will be made to take from the women what they have won. "We are confident that the signature of Secretary of State Colby completes the suffrage struggle in this country she said. "Despite very obstacle that our opponents could put in our way, women have won the right to equal voice in the affairs of the government." Miss Paul will go to New York im mediately to attend a conference where the date of the National Woman's party convention will be decided. This con vention will-decide .the future of the party. ' GOT INTO ARGUMENT ' Colby said the reason he had not made a public ceremony of the proc lamation of the amendment was be cause of "considerable contention" as to what groups of suffrage workers should participate. According to Colby's aides, his de cision was made because groups of women at his home last night got into a spirited argument as to who should be represented at the proposed ceremony. . "This Secondary aspect of the , sub ject has regretfully been the source of considerable contention as to who shall participate in it and who shall not. In asmuch as I "am not interested in the aftermath of ; any of the frictions or collisions' which may have been devel oped in the long struggle for therati fication of the amendment. I have con tented myself with the performance in the simplest manner of the duty de volved upon me under the law.

The' reduction will not be shown in the tariffs, it is explained, but will be taken care of in billing and is effective immediately." Application for a complete suspension of the increase in freignt rates on road building materials was filed with the public service commission by J. M. Dev ers, attorney for the state highway commission, Wednesday evening, too late for action prior to the effectiveness of the increase. The application sets out that the carriers -are already .realizing from 35 to 75 per cent greater returns on shipments of road building materials than is realized on shipments of the same materials in commercial quanti ties. Any action toward a reduction of these rates now, it is explained by mem bers of the commission, will, have to be taken through the regular channels. W. M.

J. Buck.j These homesteads comprised the best agricultural areas which could be found in the national forests, yet there are to day less than 43 per cent of these home steads occupied. About one third of them have been patented, but even on the patented homesteads less than 40 per cent are occupied and these are pro ducing mostly hay. About 148 of these homesteads are not entered under the homestead laws. " The reason assigned for this idle land and the fact that other homesteads have been reaching a higher percent of -use is because the land is inferior in quality and remote from agricultural communi ties. . - The forests in Oregon contain more than 2.000.000 acres of alienated lands obtained under the timber and stone homesteading and mining laws. Only 33,000 acres of this land are under culti vation and most of this is producing only; hay. The classification of land as prepared by the forest service contains accurate data on timber, brush, burns, barren. grass, water, viiiimic, cichvjii, .uu uu other features of every "forty," as well as general information on the character of land.
