COGENT LEAGUE
ARGUMENTS GIVEN
BY ELTON WATKINS
By Ward A. Irrtae
Elton Watklns. Portland attorney,
gave six reasons why the people of
the United States should vote for the
League of Nations In the November
referendum. In an address at the
" East Side library Tuesday night.
"First, the league provides for the re
duction of the armaments of all na
tions," he said. That means elimination
Of a prolific source of all wars, means
reduction of taxes, means more men for
useful occupations and means the pro
duction of useful wealth.
HeconQ. It provides for the abolition
of all ecret treaUen. all war-like treaties,
all treaties existing now or In the fu
ture which conflict with the peaceful
spirit of the League of Nations covenant.
Kecret treatleu have done nothing but
breed and bring on war.
AUBIJKATIOX PROVIDED .
"Third, It provides for tha arbitration
of all disputes. Nations will settle ihelr
differences and quarrels In the courts as
individuals do. We have mads duelling
between Individuals a crime. The League
of Nations makes duelling between na
tions a crime. Nations finally Ret
around a table and settle their differ
enceswhy not do it before they kill
the flower of the human race.
"Fourth, it provides thai a nation that
wants to so to war shall be boycotted.
It is feasible and practical. No' nation
on earth can wage war 90 days If hoy
i cotted by Jhe balance of the nations.
"Fifth. It provides for a world court
whose 1 Jurisdiction will cover Judicial
questions or other questions confronting
' the Wjorld.
TEltniTORJAfc INTEGRITY
'Sixth, it contains an agreement be
tween nations to respect the territorial
Integrity of other nations. That means
the elimination tt 99 per cent of the
possibility of war."
Watklns pointed out that the people
ef this nation have faced three funda
mental questions, the adoption of the
constitutron.Jhe' slavery question and the
League of Nations. The first two they
decided correctly, he said, and the third
will be decided by entering the Leugue
. of Nations.
"Had we not adopted the constitu
tion this nation would now be a con
glomeration of petty states," Watkins
insisted. "Hid we not decided the slav-r-ery
question as we did, America would
have been split. And now we find the
same arguments being presented against
joining the league as were espoused by
those who wished to defeat the constitution."

from bslng entirely comfortable to the
Republican leaders. The renomination
of Senator Moses of New Hampshire has
turned out to be a challenge to ths mora
Intelligent thought in" New Kngland.
The leaders are not so confident of a
victory for Moses as they were three
weeks ago. The determined opposition
among- New Hampshire voters, particu
larly the women (who nurture a griev
ance of their own), has caused connid
erable apprehension that the electorate
votes of that state may go to Governor
Cox. In 1916 President Wilson carried
the Granite state by 6 votes in a total
of 88, 76 per cent. Massachusetts looks
to be entirely safe for the Republicans.
The closing of several banks conducted
under -the supervision of the Republi
can state government and In no way
subject to federal control, has somewhat
destroyed the argument that all evils
financial and otherwise can be charged
to the Wilson administration. Demo
crats and Republicans say whatever
personal appeal the Republican presi
dential ticket makes to voters In Mas
sachusetts Is due to respect for Gov
ernor Coolidge and not for Mr. Harding.
PREJUDICE C5ABATEB
Democratic leaders who are hopeful
Republican trouble will keep the major
ity for Harding below 60.000 are com
pelled to admit that there haa been no
appreciable abatement of the intense
prejudice among the Boston ympa
thlsers with the Sinn Fein movement,
despite the fact that former Mayor
Fitsgerald and Congressman Gallivan
are supporting Governor Cox. The Bos
ton Democratic leaders assert that there
is no question that they will carry the
city by the minimum of 5000.
Four years ago Massachusetts gave
Hughes its 18 electoral votes by a plur
ality of 21,000. The most optimistic
among the Republican leaders of Maine
do not claim Its electoral vote for Hard
ing by a majority as big as that given
Pafkhurst in the state election. They
are talking from 25,000 to 40,000 and
admit the difference will be accounted
for Bi the division of Hontiment over
the League of Nations. Vermont looks
safe for about the normal Republican
majority. Four years ago Mr. Hughes
won it by a little more than 12,000 in a
vote of 89.000. Rhode Island, which
usually follows Wall street, looks to be
safe for Harding by 5000, according to
Republican claims, and temocrUe ad
missions. Four years ago lluphes car
ried it by 1500. The Rhode Island So
cialists, who polled 2000 votes four years
ago, are counting on a minimum of
6000 and perhaps 10,000, which may af
fect both the major parties.
BRATf DEGEK HAS FIGHT :
Republican leaders admit that Senator
Brandegee is going to have trouble in
Connecticut. If the believrs: in the
League of Nations and women voters
are sufficiently active they may be able
to defeat him and possibly with the
cooperation of the very large Socialist
vote expected turn the electoral vote
over to Governor Cox. That the Re
publican national leaders appreciate the
danger to Brandrfgee is clearly revealed
by the tremendous effort being made by
the railway and other corporations of
the state to insure his return to the
senate. The greater number of women
voters are fighting him vigorously and
supporting Mr. Lonergan, his Demo
cratic opponent. They also display a
friendly leaning toward the League of
Nations. The manifest growth of pop
ularity of the Bociallst cause in the
state is causing the Republicans a good
deal of concern. Four years ago, when
Hughes ' carried the state by 7000, the
Socialists polled 5179 votes. The indi
cations are that this will be trebled next
month.
Elderly Man Bilks

Kellaher Bases His
Platform ori 5-Cent
Streetcar Fares
Dan Kellaher, father of the nine foot
hotel bedaheet law, is out today with
hia campaign platform. . Five cent car
fare and bettef telephone service are
the chief planks.
The candidate declares he can find a
legal way to hold the streetcar com
pany to Its charter contract which pro
vides five cent fares, and one of his
first duties in office. If elected, would
be to compel the company to adhere
to that contract Again, be asserts, that
the telephone service is "rotten" and
not all the electric shocks would be
confined to Insulated wires if he were
elected mayor. He feels the company
collects a. charge far In excess of service
given and he would "make this concern
render courteous and efficient service."
Oreater efficiency from city employes
and a greater economy in the city'B
operation would be watchwords of Kel
laher's and he would protect business
from "meddlesome, oppressive, faddish
regulations or the threat of such," and
would be Independent of all special interests.

Claims Producers
To Lose 2 Billions .
By Price Reduction
Washington. Oct. 6. 1. N. S ) Re
ductions in food costs between July 1
and September 1 will bring a loss of
$1,782,276,330 to the producers, accord
ing to a statement issued Tuesday by
George B. Hampton, managing director
of the Farmers' National council.
"The prices farmers receive per bush
el foi wheat fell from July 1 to Sep-
tember 1 from $2,535 to $2.17, while the
prices for corn were $L856 and $1,557 ;
for potatoes, $3.86 and $1.849 ; apples.
$2.87 and $1,374; cotton. 37.4c and 31.1c;
beef cattle, 9.$2c and 8.56c per pdund, re
tpectively. "Farmers' difficulty In securing credit
tc hold their crops until needed for con
sumption is largely responsible for the
slump in prices of the crops mentioned,
though increased freight rates also are
on important factor."

TAX DELINQUENCY
IS ESTIMATED AT
UNDER 1 0 PER CEN
Despite the rears of county tax
collecting officials that the current
year's tax delinquency would be
much greater than usual, Tuesday's
crowds at the collection bureau
poured in so much wealth that Henry
Vtiilrnti-r chief of tho bureau todsv
declared the delinquency would be j
less than 10 per cent. j
"Tha is Just about the normal delin-
queney," Huekaby said. "Until we can j
open up the vast bulk of mall containing
tax payments. It will be impossible to
guess at the final total. Judging from
its volume and the totals of moneys
paid in over the counter. It appears that
the tax roll will have been pretty well
caught up.
"Out of a $12,000,000 tax roll, there
fore, the delinquency upon which Inter
est mast be paid will not exceed
$1,000,000.
''Many people find it more convenient
to let their taxes go for the time being
and pay the penalties later. While this
would not be sound finance if the
amounts were large, most of the delin
quent payments are individually small
and the penalties in most cases would
amount to only a few cents."
It will be two or three Weeks before
the final totals can be computed.
