ROOSEVELT MAY
GET CAPITOL JOB
' By Jack Royio
Marion, jOhio, Jan. 1.4. (I. N. S.)
Colonel; Theodore Roosevelt Jr.,
arrived here early today t.o confer
with President-elect Harding. In
January, 16 years ago, he' hung about
the White House and watched his
father struggle with the' formation
of a cabinet. There he was not con
sulted and his advice was not asked.
Today he not only discussed admin
istration, problems with, -the next
president," but faced probability that
he would be at least an assistant
secretary! of the next cabinet.
It will be no novelty to have a Roose
velt in the ' cabinet. Precedent .would
place the younger member of the fam
ily as assistant secretary of "the navy,
but it is regarded as entirely possible
that Teddy Jr, might be named a's as
sistant to the secretary of war.
It is deemed certain here that Colonel
Roosevelt did not come to plead his own
dause but to advocate in every way pos
sible the appointment of General Leon
and Wood as secretary of war. In the
last two days General : Wood has been
strongly Urged for that post ' by other
visitors from New York and elsewhere.
Colonel Roosevelt was the staunch ad
herent of his father's friend and com
rade in arms throughout the pre-con-vention
campaign and is known to feel
himsejf : still bound to ; the general by
the strongest tie ;
It is reported on i excellent authority,
however, that General Wood may be
asked to assume the governor-generalship
of the Philippines. It is asserted
that his experience in Cuba makes him
eminently fitted jfor a position that has
many difficulties. j i i
. The' war portfolio is- also believed to
have been the subject of discussion with
Senator-elect Richard P. Ernst of Ken-i
tucky, who is reported to be a strong
advocate of National Committeeman A.
T. Hert for that position. ;
O'Brien Is Elected
Director of 0-W. Co.
J. P. O'Brien, general manaeer of the

the O-W. at a meeting of the board of
directors : of - the organisation in New
York Thursday afternoon, according to
advice received at the local offices this!
morning.- There are 15 members to the
board -ot directors of the company. Jj
D. Farrell, vice president of the O-W.;

pany in the past and election of O'Brien
makes a change in this respect possible.
SecondChorus
Strike Looms
For Shuberts;
New York, Jan. 14. (I. N. S.)
Another strike of actors and ac
tresses, members of the Actors'
Equity, association, loomed in the
offing today as the Producing Man
agers i association met to hear
charges that have been made against
Lee and J. J. Shubert, who control
about I 75 per cent of the theatres
throughout the country,
i The Actors' Equityr association has de
manded the expulsion of the Shuberts
from the Producing Managers' associa
tion with which the Equity has a five
year contract, on the ground the Shub
erts have violated the terms of the
peace agreement that settled the Actors'
strike a year ago "and that they per
sistently .discriminate against 'Equity
members.
Lee l Shubert did not appear seriously
disturbed.
'The eharges are based on the com
plaints of six chorus girls," he said. "I
know nothing about the merit of their
complaint. It may be -that we are guilty
or minor Infractions of the rules. We
employ : more than 1000 actors and act
resses, il I have no way of knowing every
thing that my company managers are
doing. "V ' i
"It is untrue that- we have refused to
employ girls because they were members
of the Kquity. We employ girls for their,
beauty and talent."
BANKERS ASKED TO
BACK STATE BONDS
Salem,. Or., Jan. 14. Lack of re
sponse from lecal bankers in bidding
on issues of state highway bonds is
h,eld by Governor Olcott to be largely
responsible for the deep discounts
which, the state has been compelled
to accept in disposing of these securi
ties during the past year. He ap
pealed to the patriotism of Oregon
bankers.
The governor's comment on the situa
tion came in connection with a discus
sion: of a paragraph 1n the message of
the. governor of Rhode Inland, to the
state - legislature. calUngi isatlenttoiv- to
tne ract that the bonded, indebtedness
of the state was increased last year by
the; issue of $2,500,000. bonds for the
soldiers bonus and for bridge construc
tion These were 4 per cent bonds
and. all of them were sold at er above
par, the greater part of 'them at. a
slight premium. All except $100,000 of
these bonds were I subscribed for by
banking institutions of Rhode Island.
"I was amazed to find out that the
tiniest 'state of the Union could secure
par and premium bids on 44 per cent
bonds when we have been Compelled to
sell our highway bonds, bearing the
same 4 per cent rate, at a discount,"
said Governor Olcott.
"Evidently the secret lies in the fact
that bankers of Rliode" Island responded
to the appeal and took the securities of
their own state at their face value or
better. We will have more bonds to sell
during tie next few years and I wish
to appeal to the. patriotism of our bank
ers to see if they cannot assist Oregon
in equalling the record of Rhode Island
in ;the future.
"Certainly, our bonds, backed by a
state unparalleled in natural resources,
should have as fine a financial standing
as the little state of Rhode Island, cov
ering a territory barely perceptible upon
an ordinary map. I urge the people of
the state to think of this not only for the
financial honor of Oregon, but for the
value we will receive in1 more return for
our bonded indebtedness."

been sold in Walla Walla and Columbia
counties during the last two days, -the
prevailing price- being - $1.50- per buBhel.

sold in Walla ; Walla, while upwards of
the same amount was disposed-of : by
Columbia county "farmers in Dayton.
The farmers' agency of this city alone
purchased 60,000 bushels.
It is believed by buyers, here that the
sales of this week mean that the .holding
among the farmers In this section is
over and that the grain in the ware
houses wil.l "move briskly from .now
on. The fact that all of the salee made
were by ' individuals and were not the
result of a. pool is pointed out as an In
dication, of this. ' i
Practically 60 per rent of the 1020
