IRRIGATION BOND
GRAFT CHARGE IS
MET WITH DE
NIAL
Portland. Feb. 14. To the Editor
of The Journal This statement Is
made in order that the progress
which irrigation development has
enjoyed in the state of Oregon may
not be Interrupted as a result of the
speeches made Friday on the .floor
or the house, at Salem, by Represen
tatives Burdick and - Gallagher, " in
connection with the so-called "irriga
tion bills."- - . I
Ths statements made by them were
absolutely false and misleading. '
Every question on which a statement
was made on the floor Friday had bean
ho clearly gone into and disproved at
the public hearing on the bills Tuesday
evening that no man of ordinary intelli
gence, which I regard Messrs. Burdick
and Gallagher to have, could have mis
understood them. ,j t ;
OUTSIDE MOWET. 3f jEEDED .
Oregon cannot absorb 'all the bonds it
originates ; and." as funds must come
from outside the state, syndicates of dif
ferent bond dealers have been organized
to underwrite the several issues, and I
hope that this attack will not stop an
effort which has already brought into
the state for this Irrigation development
over 93.600,000 of outside capital.
The fact that bonds are bought at 90
cents does not indicate a profit of 10
points, or that the selling district is los
ing 10 per cent. It proves that for some
reason (In this ease because the law re
quires bonds shall not bear over per
cent) they bear a rate lower than they
can be sold for at par on the market,
and, therefore, must be discounted." This
is easily understood, 'when the bends of
the principal foreign governments have
sold through the same period, to yield as
high ss 11 per cent, and 'when United
States government bonds are selling to
yield over per centj. ,
PBOOF SOT HAVE - -
- The mere fact that a bond. during any
three year period is once offered at par
does not prove the sale of any number
at that price. It Is a fact that irrigation
district bonds, some of which were orlg-
- inally offered' at par, have been subse
quently retailed as low as 92. j
No contractor works except for ari ex-;
pec ted profit. The fact that a contract!
,is let at cost,, plus IS per cent; with a
limited figure to which this 15per centj
applies, does not mean that the, district j
loses this 15 per cent, or pays it in ad- i
d it ion to any other profit which the con-
tractor gets, but the IS per cent is. 4n,
stead of a usual 25 to 36 per cent that
any contractor adds to his estimates of1
cost or labor and material and equipment
when figuring a piece of work on a unit
price basts or at a lump sum figure.,
On this basis a unit pricb or lump sum
contract would have cost the districts
the cost of labor, material and equip
ment plus 23 to 35 per cent instead of
plus IS per cent as paid in the cost plus
contracts. i .. - -
No district whose bonds have been sold
to a syndicate, which It has been my
duty to manage, has suffered the loss
of one penny by graft, extortion, or Im
proper oe excessive profit.
Thi would have- been easily proved,
even, to the satisIacUan of Messrs, Bur.
'Btck and Gallagher, , had their real la
tercet actually been, the protection of Ihe
districts and the farmers.-. .
JttOTIYES ARK SEJI - " V - V
The 'fnotrves for the Introduction 'of
these bills, shd the Interests behind
them, were fully exposed; if the public
hearing ; Tuesday evening. This drove
Messrs. Burdick and Gallagher to prac
tically abandon on Friday their attack
on Mr. Cupper. r i-u ..-.. ,
Of the total membership of the house
of representatives, hot a single voice was
raised in defense of the bills excepting
these of Messrs. Burdick and Gallagher.
Their remarks, mad when they were
protected by the privilege of the house
and which could not be answered by
those whom they charged with improper
practices, ss a result of, Tuesday's hear
ing were not expected to have any, effect
upon the members of the house, to whom
they were ostensibly addressed, but were
made as a smoke screen to deceive the
public and to becloud the issue to their
misrepresented constituents, who were
practically as one against the bills.

Would Let College
Graduates Teach in
- Any Grade; School
' State House, Salem, Feb. 14. Of spe
cial interest to teachers ; and college
graduates is a bill introduced in the
house this morning by Representative
Charlerf '- C Hindman , of - Multnomah
county. . It opens ! the way for certifi
cation of graduates for teaching in
schools "other than high schools. -'
'The bill . amends section 4948, Oregon
laws, eliminating the provision that per
sons having graduated from standard
colleges and taken a certain amount of
specified work shall be eligible to certifi
cation to teach i. "only . in the high
schools of the state," and makes the
reading of this clause simply "schools
of the state." r
This, it is anticipated, will renew a
fight that has appeared In every legis
lature for years past. A considerable
group of persons,' led by club women,
urge that the -university graduate should
be permitted to teach In the elementary
schools, while some of the prominent
educators - of the state contend that
their "training is more adaptable to
teaching in high schools and that the
elementary school teacher should be re
quired to take a regular normal train
ing course. I

Chicago. Feb. 14. The heart hun
ger of a mother for the child from
whom she was separated caused Mrs.
Carl Foetisch of Hammond, Ind., to
live so completely a sub-oonscious
life wherein she was back with her
child, that she has now become one
of the most remarkable cases of dual
personality in medical record.
Specialists who examined the woman
here Sunday are authority for this state
ment. In her old life' she was a pas
sionately devoted mother : In the new,
a cold, detached nun-like personality.
MEMOKY IS GOICE
Mrs. Foetisch was found wandering
about the streets last week, a victim of
retrograde amnesia. She did not know
her name or one incident of her his
tory. Cases of this kind are common
enough, and she was taken to the South
Shore hospital for the rest that, It was
thought,: would enable her to identify
herself.
But investigation of her case by Doc
tors Herman N. Bundesen and Alexander
S. Hershfield, special lata, brought to
light the following remarkable facts :
While Mrs. Foetisch does not remem
ber a single thing of her former life
she Is keenly alert about everything that
is happening to her now. She is rational
and Interested.
She is completely detached, however,
from any. sentimental 'emotion. When
her husband sits by her bedside and ad
dresses her with little endearments she
shrinks away and asks ; the doctors to
"take that strange man "away.
IS 3IE2I TALIiT XEElt f t :.
Mentally keen, she is interested in the
tales the doctors and nurses tell her
about who George Washington was and
who Wood row Wilson is, and about the
world war. . . .
While she does not recognize any of
old life, she
after they are
once introduced to her and remembers
things that have happened since her at
tack of amnesia with better memory than
the ordinary person.
The only sign of remembering any
thing of-her old life since she was af
flicted came Sunday when her small son,
Vincent, now In custody of ber first hus
band, was placed in her arms. She held
the boy quietly for some moments Then,
with a hysterical cry, she clutched him
to her passionately and became so hys
terical that the doctors took the boy
away.
This Is a case out Of the story
books. said Dr. Hershfield. "Mrs. Foe
tisch. separated from her child by di
vorce from her first husband, evidently
lived a subconscious life wherein she was
with the child all the time. Her sub
conscious life grew on her- until it be
came so absorbing that she forgot every
thing -about her real identity :
SHE IS B0R2T AGAIN" ,
"She is perfectly rational now and
today she told me how stupid it was
of her to go around without any mark
of identification on her person. She is
in many respects, born again.. 'She can
read, but it makes her nervous."
"When she clutched her child to her
she showed the cause of her trouble,1
said Dr. Bundeson. "She had become so
heart hungry for her child that she-, de
veloped the most remarkable case of ret
rograde amnesia I have ever seen.: She
evidenly lived, in her .jnind, day . and
night, with that baby.
"Now we will have to work , through
the child to make her remember her
old life. She is heart hungry for the
baby. She wants it with all her being. It
may take a month or two,' but we be
lieve she will recover-, if she can. have
that child of hers." ' ' . r ;
Mrs. Foetisch was allowed to visit" her
son, Vincent, once every two weeks by
a court order after the divorce - from
the first husband. She was on her way
to see the boy when her memory snap
ped.
legislature by Senator Thomas, who has
prepared a senate Joint resolution to that
end which, he. will introduce this after
noon, -'--.. ."
Thomas, in his resolution, calls atten
tion to the volume of unfinished busi
ness still before the legislature and de
clares that- the problem of reappointment
cannot be given the attention to which
it is entitled in the few days yet - re
maining of the session. His resolution
would continue in effect the present leg
islative committee on reapportionment
which would be instructed to continue its
study of the problem and report back to

Roosevelt Highway
Bill, Amended, Due
In Senate Tuesday
State House, Salem, Feb. 14. The
Roosevelt highway bill, amended, is due
to come back into the floor of the sen
ate tomorrow morning, accompanied by
a companion bill fathered by Senator
Hall providing for the creation of road
districts in much the same manper as
irrigation districts now are formed.
The Roosevelt highway bill will carry
an amendment when it is reported back,
providing that the $2,500,000 authorized
by the original act may be expended In
the construction of the Roosevelt high
way whenever the counties through
which it would run would match the fund
dollar, for dollar
This bill, coupled with Senator Hall's
road district bill, is expected to solve
the Roosevelt highway pussle The dis
trict plan would enable the coast coun
ties to form a road construction dis
trict and bond themselves as a district
for $2,500,000 for the purpose of match
ing the fund carried in the Roosevelt
highway bill.
DEPUTY SHERIFFS
RAID ROADHOUSES:
.Silver Tea Announced
- Vancouver, Wash.. Keb. 14. Th La
dies of the O. A. R. will meet at the
Library hall Tuesday afternoon for a
liver tea from 2 to 6 o'clock. A fancy
work sale will be held. ,
SIX ARE ARRESTED
There was liquor on the hip ia the
roadhouses Saturday night. There
are six men in the county Jail from
among the gay revelers Sunday
morning. : But the up-to-date jargon
that "he who drinks is wealthy" rang
true and the joyous trouble makers,
alias the knights of the flask, were
released on $250 ball each.
; An early morning raid on road houses
out of Porltand by deputy sheriffs
stopped for a few minutes the parties in
progress at the Bog inn and the Twelve
Mile house en the Base Line road.
FBOraiETOB ARRESTED
There were automobile parties at' both
places and there was much of dancing
and .some eating. The jass muslo had
not lost its Saturday night gayety and
none was afflicted with the 'Sunday
blues.' - "
At the Hog inn the moonshine was
adding a clamor that rose In opposi
tion to the melody of the musicians,
say the sheriff. The officers went on a
still hunt for the "hootch" that was evi
dently the life of the party. Two quarts
were found in the room of A. B. Ilog,
proprietor. He was arrested. ;v
But deputy sheriffs are far too wise to
believe that a dozen or two people can
get unroariously hilarious on two quarts
of moonshine. And the. party was' go
ing good, the officers admit. Continued
search disclosed the evidence of more
moonshine, and three of the most popu
lar members were taken into custody.
The three were Jack Grohs, M. Brown
and Richard Rosburg. They were fined
$15 each this morning by District Judge
Hawkins. ..
QUIET AT MOST PLACES
Many were the sobs of feminise protest
and the bitter wait of thirsty men whose
partying was continually making them
thirstier as they left the inn with their
wet cargo, say the sheriffs.
A second visit included the Taxi Inn
and Canary -, cottage ' and Twelve 'Mile
house. Taxi inn and Canary 'cottage
were abandoned by the Saturday night
parties. . . v.;
Several cars were parked at the Twelve
Mile house, and there were eight supper
parties in progress when the sheriffs
called. The parties were undisturbed
because of their peaceful appearance.
Evidently they were eating and dancing
and carrying their liquor well. r , ,
But over In a corner a little card game
was in - session -and the. players were
pouring, their own, IL Cohen and Jack
Martin were arrested for ha ing moon
shine onrthe hip and taken into custody
by the deputy sheriffs.
The- night was dark and stormy; but
the moon sailed high, says the raiders.
