land was charged In a hearing Wednes
day night before the city council on the
proposed ordinance requiring heavier
liability bonds. The present ordinance
i ..requires only a $1000 surety bond. It Is
proposed to raise the bond to $10,000. It
Is also provided that the city shall des
. ' lenate the routes on which states may
"' operate. .
i The terms of the ordinance .are sat
isfactory to most of the stags operators.
tout further time was asked by the Auto
.Transit company In putting the ordl
nance in effect.
J' - The Auto Transit company has I
blanket, bond of $10,000 filed with the
city. It was charged at the hearing
that the company is controlling stands
. and routes of operators who have
bonded their cars with the company and
Is seeking to delay the ordinance in or
' ', der to force operators to procure bonds
from the company, paying approximate-
ly $1500 for such bonds during the month
of October.
; During the hearing Acting Mayor
BJgelow said: "I think that the system
which has been worked up permits
Vicious graft and also an unsavory prac
tice of permitting officers of this com
pany to say who shall operate on certain
runs and who shall not.. The only par
ties to be considered are the "city and
'", the traveling public. The authority to
designate who shall operate should be
iield by the commissioner of public
. utilities. I am informed that operators
. have sold their routes for cash consldera-rf-i.iona."
In addition to Increasing the bonds
'the ordinance which has been in lncuba-
. ' tion. for eight months provides other
vareguards for the public and designates
routes, schedules and rates. It Is ex
pected that the council will take final
'. action on It Friday.

ing of the group of Republican senators
regarded as particularly friendly to the
Harding administration to consider
plans for putting the cloture rale
through the senate. Today the secret is
out and McNary explained his attitude.

feel that the people are tired of. the
ever-ending debate and desire to see
action speeded op." ha said. "The people
do not believe It should be in the power
of a few men to filibuster and hold op
legislation. The last session ended
with a filibuster on ths beer bill, which
still prevents, its enactment and many
important measures are threatened un
less we can find a way to end debate.
We propose to do that by amending the
rules to "permit a bare majority to limit
speeches to one hour instead of two
thirds, as the rules now provide.
"This will cause a bitter fight, I fear.
but we feel we can win."

Raleigh Mathews
Medford, Sept. 29. When Raleifh
(Rollie) Mathews van told that he was
to be "mugged" and his Bertillion meas
urements and finger prints taken, he
took the matter as a great Joke and
laughed with the deputy sheriffs about
it. Mathews is charged with having mur
dered Wilbur (Wig) Jacks a week ago
at Eagle Point, after a fight, said to
have been over his alleged attentions to
Jack's wife.
His age was recorded on the classifi
cation card as 23, but he looks as if he
might be 10 years older. His hair Is
thin and sandy.
His confidence of escaping punishment
for having taken the life of a fellow-
man is the marvel of all who have seen
him since his arrest.

That's the wonderful message for readers of this paper today a message
that really and truly offers to women release from drudgery of kitchen
work to those, at least, wha carefully read and digest every word that
follows.
During the days of savagery stone implements were used. These gave
way to bronze. A slave in India invented the wheel and so on, until
within the past few generations a Watt,- a Fulton, a Franklin, an Edison
have released millions of people ffdm labor slavery.
Labor-saving devices during recent years have not only mad office work
easy for the business man, but have made outdoor work attractive for the
.farmer. .
Electrical appliances in the home to put the housewife on the "-'easy
street' of domestic duties" and on an equality with her husband's ef
ficiency have made their appearance, but their general adoption by women
has been slower; partly because men have failed to realize that labor sav
ing devices in the home promote mutual welfare and happiness and partly
because women have been less accessible than men for application of the
necessary educational processes.
These handicaps are now removed. No housewife need longer go without
the. wonderful experience the real joy of emancipation from kitchen
drudgery that is afforded by an Electric Range.
