ANDAVO DSAPPEAL
Commrssioner Turns $275 Over
.to Treasurer Rather Than Go
to Higher Court With Case.
Eed Cross Sale of
Donated Articles Is
; To Be Conducted
Although by a majority vote of
the eotintjr commissioners of Mult
nomah ooiinty, District Attorney
Kvans Wa been instructed to perfect
an appeJbj to the state supreme court
from tho decision of Circuit Judge
Percy Kelly in the locally famous
, "fra8olIns case," County Commis
sioner JtufuB Holman has taken the
position that he does not desire to
participate in this contest. Holman
has made full settlement f or his
share In the gasoline coupon books
furnished the" three members of the
board of county commissioners.
The euit was Instituted by John TV.
Kaate, to restrain the county from pay
ing the warrants issued ' for gasoline
coupon books and other supplies for
ihe commissioners In compensation for
the use of their cars In public business.
Judge Kelly decide that this plan of
compensation was against public policy,
ns the commissioners were,.iu fact, deal
ing with themselves, and that lloyt and
Holman should pay the oil companies
Tor such portions of thir coupon books
as they had used" for supplies for their
cars when on private business. Com
missioner Muck was held, to have used i
his supplies solely in county work.
Commissioner Holman has sent to
District Attorney Evans, to be used -in
the settlement of his account with the
county, a check for $275.18 in favor of
County - Treasurer Lewis, in full, pay-
ment of supplies furnished him even
prior to the time the legality of the
procedure was being questioned.
In his letter Holman says:
'So far as I am concerned, I do not
favor the appeal of the case to the
supreme court, although I know that
th policy which the board of commis
sioners was following in tills particular
was the most economical one from an
administrative standpoint. This, I be
lieve, is demonstrated by a statement
;of the city auditor, which I enclose.
"Although the commissioners believed
that there was legal authority for the
order of September 27, 1918, yet when
the legality of the policy was ques
tioned I immediately ceased to operate
under it, and now remit in full for those
expenses incurred by me even prior to
'the legality of the proceedings being
questioned.
"My reason for not favoring an appeal
is that I . prefer to make the county a
present of this expense to which I have
been put in the discharge of my public
duties rather than have my personal
motives questioned, which I believe they
would be by a further prosecution of the
case."
The American Red Cross wlU hold a
public auction of " donated articles

streets as a climax of the membership
drive. I. J. Finn will act as auctioneer.

Boston, Nov. 20. (U. P.) Speak
ing as a "Republican, basing his
opinion's entirely on the declarations
of the party and the policies of its
candidate," United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, in an address
at a banquet given in his honor by
the Roosevelt club here tody. de
clared that so far as the lUnited
States is concerned, the League of
Nations is dead.
"The court from which ther is no
appeal has spoken in terms whiclj connot
be misunderstood," Lodge declared, re
ferring to the league. "The president
and the congress chosen by the people
of the United States will deal with this
great question of our policy abrpad. It
will not be further dealt with in ny way
by an administration which has been
discarded and which has little more than
three months to live."
"The responsibility is very great, but
we don't shirk it and we are confident
that a result can be obtained by follow
ing the policies outlined by Senator Hard
ing, which will enable us to ;promote
the peace of the world without jlncuring
dangers to our independence Knd our
constituted system of government, which
the people of the United States1 will not
submit'.' i

.11. 'S. MAY RECOGNIZE
MEXCAN
GOVERNMENT
(Continued From P Ons)
will still be charged up to Wilaonian
policy.
Under that line of reasoning some of
Harding's friends hope the problem will
not be on the White House doorstep
after March 4.
Unquestionably there are some inter
ests which are counselling the Mexicans
to delay a settlement beyond March 4,
because the interests really believe mil
itary intervention can best be brought
about under, a Republican administra
tion. ,
Our state department is aware if some
of these subtle processes which are not
all friendly, either, to what is believed
here to be the real desire of a man like
President-elect Harding.
On the trip to the Southern border
the dispatches have conveyed the im
pression that Mr. Harding, too, wants
an amicable setUement of disputes 'with
Mexico.
WILSOJf'S VIEWPOINT
President Wilson's viewpoint through
out the last eight years has been that
eventually the Mexicans would them
selves straighten out their affairs and
that the chaos of revolution was not
likely to be removed in a decade, as wit
ness the slow processes by which Russia
is struggling for self-possession. There
is no doubt that the present occupant of
the White House would like to round
out his tej-m with the Mexican problem
on the road to settlement Men who
are planning new business enterprises
and development are waiting, moreover,
for the act of recognition. Nevertheless
the department of state is firm in its
determination ' that something better
than promises must be forthcoming be
fore recognition is extended. If the Mex
- icans are misled Into thinking they can
ret easier terms with the nvt admin
istration in Washington especially w hen-
u prooaDiy win take a long time be
fore the Harding administration will be
-ready to tackle Mexican matters on ac
count of the press of other questions,
then "the disposition here is tnat the
fmericans who advise such a " course
bear the consequences.
The whole thing is up to the Mexi
cans. There are no insuperable-obstacles.
. Thanksgiving Plea

'Mother ' Lawrence
"Mother Lawrence, head of the Pisgah
home, has. issued an appeal for aid In
providing Thanksgiving cheer for the

In the Woodmere Old Peoples' home are
abouf 80 old people to whom Thanksgiv
ing will bring 'memories' of the, same
happy gatherings you are now enjoying.
But these memories to them may be sad.
Let us help them to forget in a real
Thanksgiving offering of a real Thanks
