WEEK EXPECTED TO SHOW CANDIDATES TOR GOVERNORSHIP i' ' Federated Societies Said to Have Had Aspirant on Carpet Pre liminary to Indorsing One. Developments of tba current week art bslng s wilted br potlUcisns her In the tpecUUoa tht tber will crrstsliss the gubernatorial aituatloo. la all probability eJlmlaat aotne potent! candidate who hv prominent In the political mind lor tome tin past, and pare the ay for the ultimate gladiators to come out Into the Dsn. srlrded and ready for Ihs long combat which will end with preliminary victory or definite defeat at s primary election of May It For the laat week thick flying rumors nave been whispering of nightly wna oi aiaia-wiae committee, or council, of the Federated Societies, called Into convention here to alt in Judgment upon the political hopes, am bitions and aspirations of those seeking the governorship. One after the other, various of those so ambitious are re ported to have gone In before the roun ctl to tell his story, state his case, to race nia inquisition and pass out with the hope that 'at the end or it all his name would be the one chosen and rec ommended to the different units of the . mother organisation for Indorsement and support. XZDrO&O HUT HEBE Charles B. Gates, mayor of Medford and Southern Oregon candidate for the governorship, has been in Portland throughout the week, first to await his tars, and then to await the final result. louls E. Bean, speaker of the house and Lane gubernatorial timber, has also beaa la Portland, as has his doss friend and supporter. Senator John Bell. Bean. . too, it Is said, has gone before the con . clave and now awaits the ultimate word. Senator L I Patterson of Polk coun ty, candidate from the middle vaUsy section, ai so has been In Portland dur ing the week. He, too. It is whispered, seeks the Indorsement of the Federated Societies, or those units which this cen tral organisation Is reported to repre sent. It port has It that be. with the others, has made his appearance and awaits the Indorsing action. Oeorge Baker, mayor of Portland. Is said to have gone before the committee wim his deelre for Indorsement and to be, like the rest, waiting for what may come. Charles E. Hall of Marshfleld also is reported to have been ushered before ' ins garnering, and to have taken his place In line to watch for the reeulL So far as reports go. Governor Olcott, Oeorge White, adjutant general, and J. D. Lee, the three remaining most talked or in the gubernatorial list, have not made their appearance, though the ru mor says, their names, together with the others, are to be. or have been gives consideration by the council. COCSCIL TO BALLOT . These interrogatories having been completed with the close of the week, as , they are said to have been, the story t nas ii mat ue council wUl take Its- bs.1 lot and make Its choice of one or the ' other of the aspiring candidates for re port back and recommendation to the different units which furnish the dele gatee to make up and sit In the Port- t land Inquisitions, The different units, according to the reported plan. will, during the current week, tote upon the acceptance or the . rejection of the recommendation made ' by the Portland council, irthe majority : of these units vote to accept the recom mendation. It will mean the Indorsement ( or the Federated Societies. Should the ' majority, on the other hand, reject the ' recommendation, the Indorsement will ; fall. . GATES riSST OX CARPET Gates, who rumor reports was first to , go before the council, is said to have k turned the clock back to other days, so tar as. his own political fortunes .- concerned, by advancing the proposition . that should he be unable to win the In- ; dorsement. he would, like the conven i llonal candidate of days gone by, pledge his aid and comfort to the lucky man. This pronouncement Is said to ' nave I caught Baker and Patterson, and may- be the rest, la its backwash and to havs led them Into the same position, a situ ation the, managing men of the Feder ated Societies, by aU the dictates of political battle vtrategy, must greatly desire, for it would lead. In its nltimstw conclusion, to on candidate only ' for the Republican nomination. It would. at any rate, tend to narrow the field down to a finish fight between the In dorsee of the Federated Societies and those who either did not seek, or did not promise to abide by. Its Indorsement. Bean, it 1 said, will not commit himself thus. 'Those circumstances' and doings form the predominant political developments of the week gone by. Those candidates who are hankering after this Indorse ment, and most of them are known to be, have been marking time while they waited for the word. The Utter part of this week Is ex pected to bring this final word, and when that word comes the campaign is expected to "open up" and . start off with a bang. Democrats EggOnVet'Bonus bt st : t t K t t ican Bpomerangls Seen By David La wrest (Coprncht. 1922. b The Joonel) Washington. Jan. 28. Congress is de termined to enact a bonus buX The situ ation is truly alarming, for no compre hensive plan has yet been offered by anybody whereby the funds can be raised without adding to the cost of living and the already numerous bur dens under which American business is struggling. Senator McCumber, chairman of the finance committee, favors a sales tax for the first year and expects the bonus to be financed during the second year out of the proceeds of the payments of interest by the allies for the war debt. Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee has more or less the same idea. CARDINALS SPLIT IN THREE PARTIES Indications Are That Compromise Candidate Will Be Named to Succeed Pope. Rome.

THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTI.AHD. SUNDAY MORMNG. JANUARY . KZ2. Republ are In tax receipts than is apparent at present, and that entirely from the ne cessity of keeping .a sales tax for pay ment of tit soldier bonus more revenue will have to be collected to make up deficiencies in other lines of revenue law. The Democrats in consrresa are tar a bonus, too. Thev are prayir.c that the Republicans will enact the sales tax for they proclaim it enthusiast-!! s th best way they know of to regain power m congress. The Democrats are egging the Republicans on br onenlv advocat ing a bonus and by advocating a direct appropriation from the treasury and the saie or Don da.

XEW BURDEX EASIER But the gossip is that if the American people are told that a sales tax is to be enacted for only one year, the new burden will be easier to impose. Then when the sales tax is working and the DeoDle have gotten accustomed to the the minority party, the? offer unwork able plans, knowing full well that there is not a chance of seeing them accepted. It is a good deal like the situation that exists when a tariff bill is up ; ths Re- puDucans or Democrats propose me sures which are sure of a presidential .veto and they then go out to the elec- sales tax and it becomes evident that I torate and blame the party in power for oosxrucang necessary legislation. iongress'ls at the moment afraid of the- soldier vote. It is larger and con sidered more Influential than the labor vote f old. Nothing so formidable has arisen except probably the agricultural vote, and there seems to be some kind no money can do ei pec tea irom me allies a simple resolution extending the sales tax Indefinitely would be' adopted. The sales tax would be imposed on about 24 articles, including clothing. foodstuffs and manufactured products.

MeCCMBEB BUST The revival of bonus aritarJons cornea With the assertion of Senator McOm. ber of North Dakota, chairman of the tinance committee. President Harding had to go to congress last summer to squelch McCumber's revolt from the party program and the big question now is whether the president will stick by the position of his secretary of the treas ury or whether he will surrender his convictions to a political congress. It probably will be the turning point of his administration. He has told callers that until ways are provided to raise the money, he will not sign a bonus bill. The ways are being provided by addi tional taxation directly upon the con sumer. iaia or a presidential veto grows, but there as as many who think the president will bow to congress as Deuev no win oner successful resist ance. Chiloquin Mills to Resume Operations; To Extend Railroad Klamath Falls. Jan. 28, Immediate resumption of the Modoc Lumber com pany sawmills at Chiloquin, with a 14 mlle extension of the logging road to tap a new body of timber, was announced here today by J. D. Goldthwaite, presi dent or the company. The sawmill sus pended early last year. Dry kilns and a planer will be added to the mill, in- creasing tne capacity to 135,000 feet a shlR. Two shifts win be worked t. 400 men will be employed in the mill and camps, not Including a large railroad construction rorce. Ooidthwalte predicts a heavy demand for lumber this year at fair prices and that all mills In this region will operate io capacity. Burner will feel it In increased prices for the necessities of life, thus the sol dier who gets the bonus would be able to buy much less for his money than he can now without the bonus. But this is a political year and the congressmen think the soldiers want the cash Irrespective of whether it is good or bad economy. Representative Frear of Wisconsin, a Republican ways and means committee member, however, has spoken boldly what many Republicans themselves know, namely, that a sales tax may wipe the entire 'Republican party out of power In the next congress. The wiser ones are already scared, for they have heard of the discontent of the country that congress did not re duce existing taxes sufficiently, and now to put on more taxes to furnish money for a soldier bonus would be to build even higher the funeral pyre. MELLON OPPOSES FLAX Senator McCumber answers most of the criticism by saying the estimates for what the bonus would cost are grossly exaggerated and that it wouldn't cost the country more than $350,000,000 to $400,000,000 the first year. Secretary Mellon, however, has done a lot of close figuring and has made inquiries as to the psychology of the returned soldier. to know that out of the various forms of soldier aid from grants of land, voca tional training, paid up Insurance cer tificates payable at death and cash bo nuses of $50 every three months, the average soldier will take cash. It is argued, of course, that If every body took cash the total government expenditure would be less than under any other plan, for the whole thing would be over with sooner and the big administrative - expense In vocational training and land aid would be reduced to a minimum. But while this may mean a smaller total payment It means a much more difficult one to finance. for the whole burden would come at the start and this is Just the time when the treasury cannot stand any more strain. Mr. Mellon estimates that the cash bonus plan will cost two and a halt bil Hon dollars and that the first year would require at least $850,000,000. One of the treasury officials who makes It his business to furnish statistics of every kind of tax has said that the soldier bonus will tax every eight persons to pay the bonus of a single soldier. But there Is still another effort which the treasury hasn't emphasized and which students of government finance know to be true, that soldiers themselves will have to pay the bonus through in direct or direct taxation and the con sequent effect of their own business op portunities will be considerable. For in times of business depression they suf fer iiKe tne rest. The treasury Is afraid of the bonus, , fl.nt it wU, react g,, unfavorably to business as to cause a greater shrink- LOCAL PROSPECTOR Harlan Foster and Brother Lost Near White Horse Rapids, It Is Believed. Pendleton, Jan. 28. Harlan Foster. SO. of Portland, who has spent manv veara in Aiassa prospecting, and bis brother were drowned in the Lewesse river, the upper waters or the Yukon rivers in Alaska in November. 1921. In the opinion or tne xtoyai .Northwest Mounted police. who have advised Pendleton friends of Foster to that effect. In letters to local people the police said the boat in which the two embarked for the trip from white Horse to Eagle City had been round bottom up. when not prospecting. Foster nsually made his home in Portland and Willam ette valley cities. . His daughter. M Ines Fortune. Is said to reside at 609 North Central avenue, Portland. Other relatives are said to live in Sheridan and Timber, Or., and in Seattle. Foster was widely known in Portland and among former Alaskans in the North west. Little is known . here of brother. The voyage upon which the two era barked is especially perilous, according to local acquaintances of Foster. It is the presumption of these same people that the tragedy which the police report must have taken place between White Horse rapids and Squaw rspfds. where the water flows at great speed between the Barrow banks of a deep canyon. Few of those who. start out oa the trip have j been successful in completing it. friends or Foster say. - Efforts to reach Mrs. Inea Fortune at C09 North Central avenue failed.
