Oracoa REVENUE Fost at St. Lotus clauses Row; Offer of JOB STIRS Qpposition and May Revive Republican SCANDALS -By John Gleissner- United News Staff Correspondent. Washington, May 6. Republican lead ers! in the senate ;are considering the Advisability of asking: President Hard ing; to withdraw he nomination of Nat Goldstein of St. Louis to be collector of itirnafc-revenue. 1 : ' " This is because of Goldstein's Connec ticut with the expenditure of money in th campaign of Frank J. Lowden for lief presidency. ?- Democrats already have opened , fire t n j Goldstein, and some of the Repub ; cans are prepared to assist them. !e- luajid has been made that pie senate c oiibider the nomination in open session, instead of behind closed doors, as is ifttf rule. 9 tlli) SCASDilS IOOM An effort to force the confirmation; of Goldstein would reopen the whole sub ject of presidential campaign expendi tures at a time when primaries are be 1114 held, and with a national election only a few months distant. It would ltr,haps renew the discussion of the x peaditurea of Senator Newberry in Michigan and would further interfere v.ifh consideration of the tariff bilL And the election in Missouri is itself to lit? f considered. A spirited contest is in regress,- between Senator Reed and Breekentidge Long, who seeks to'idis l.iace him or the Democratic side. ' Re publicans have not yet put their man in .h field, but the state voted Republican in i the 1920 elections and party leaders vift try to keep their hold. USKD FIGHT INVOLVED In connection with the contest of Reed, 'there' were" reports that objections to Goldstein might prove embarrassing to him. Goldstein, according to these re ports," had intended to turn over to Reed the Republican votes he controls In SL I.auis.

WASHING TON BUREAU vQfTK JOIXRNAU Brisk bombardment of the Disque re port en .transcontinental railroad rates, which has aroused wide attention be cause of the new doctrine; proposed in rsstricting relief which rnaj- be granted under the long and short Jiaul ; rule on water competitive traffic, la found in a brief filed with the. Interstate commerce commission by- the railnoads concerned. The -Bisque, report is pending' before the commission for final action. . Attacking conclusions reached by Disque. the examiner attorney, who for mulated the report, the! carriers say he has apparently recommended dismissal of their applications upon a theory whlchlie has formed as to changes made in the' long and short ( haul clause by amendmcnt of, the Interstate commerce act. but in disregard of j the tacts of the application. Dlsque himself saying that reduced rates proposed by the railroads "fully reflect increased costs of doing business" and apparently cover out of pocket costs.' "That there is water competition and that it is forceful and; compelling and cannot be met by raii except by the maintenance of subnormal rates Is undis puted." j j The railroad brief saj-s. 'sin what re spect ia this not a proper case for re lief? The examiner's Veport does not furnish an answer." Disque's interpretation of the amend ed long and short haul clause is chal lenged, it being contended that no sub stantial change was. made and that the effect of Disque's opinion wonM be to give the interstate commission unre stricted authority to grant or deny de viations from the long and short haul clause. Bot this is unconstitutional un less congress lays down a guiding rule for exercise of such power. Disque's statement that water 1 tries may be driven out of business if railroads are allowed to meet water rates is declared to be mere speculation, but if true, congress has provided that railj lines cannot In crease their rates after having onct re duced them to meet water competition. The real policy of national legislation, it is asserted, Is the maintenance In the public interest of botty rail and water lines. Objection is roa.de to Disque's discussion of the economic effect of re duced long haul rates Which is declared to have no place in tlie report.

Granted by Decision interpreting the Act. Salem. May 6. An Oregon war vet eran is entitled to either; a. cash or home loan bonus, even though he is not now a resident of the state. , The nearest of kin of a deceased vet eran is entitled to the bonus. A bonus which would be due a veteran had he lived does riot go to his estate but to the nearest of kin. JUDGES SET K BAC These three points itt' the Oregon bo nus law were made today by Judges Bingham aad Kelley sitting en banc. The first decision was rendered in the case of Fred K. Hollister, a resident of California. He was a resident of Or egon when he .- -entered service. He brought his case principally to ascertain if he would be entitled to the home loan. WOMAN BRINGS SUIT The second suit was brought by Sallie Carson, of La Grande. Under the ruling she as the nearest relative ot a deceased veteran is entitled to either the home loan or cash benefit. The third was a case in which Mar guerite Crane, of Portland, administra trix of her late husband's estate, wanted to know whether she would get the bonus or whether it would go, into the estate for disposition according to the will.

Carolina ranking Democratic member of the sen ate finance committee charged in- the senate today in a minority report." Simmons predicted that th unheard of impositions of the bill would impose between $3,000,000,000 add . $4,000,000,000 a prear upon the American people for the "benefit, relatively speaking, of "a mere handful who fear they "cannot maintain their present high prices and profits ai.d still . further swell them at will, unless the people are further taxed, not for the benefit of the treasury,! but for the ben efit of .their own private pocketbooks." PROFITEERS' HAND SEEN The veteran Democratic leader 'tote into the pending tariff measure as dne that would "place the American people completely at the mercy of the greed and avarice of monopolistic and profiteering interests," who, he declared, had dictated to the Republican; majority, of the senate how the-btll should be written. "When the Frdney tariff bill passed the house the public regarded it as a monstrosity so . grotesque- and absurd that lt was taken more as a Joke than as- a serious attempt at tariff 'revision," Simmons said. -."It did not exeite the people to any great degree of alarm because they felt sure that the senate would rewrite and they expected from the senate saner action in their behalf. "In this expectation, the people have been grievously disappointed. Thaf dis appointment has grown, as they have studied the present bin. first into sur prise find then into Indignation at the audacity of the assault upon their pock etbooks. This indignation is now culmi nating into a grim determination to re sist to the utmost this attempted spolia tion."

May Astronomers and physicists will prove or aisprove the Einstein -theory of relativity on Ninety Mile beach, a desolate and almost inao- ceasible point, on the northwest shore of Australia, September 21, according to Professor W. W. Campbell of Lick ob servatory, Mount Hamilton, CaL, who will head the party of scientists from America. The first section of the expedition from Lick observatory is now in Tahiti, making observations of a group of stars which are moving behind the sun, These photographs are being taken at night. During the day of September. 21 there will be an: eclipse of the sun In the' re gion -of Australia and the South seas, and at that time this same group of stars will be immediately behind the sun and in the best position for observation. Photographs will then be taken from Ninety-Mile beach, which is on the same latitude as the point in Tahiti. It the Einstein theory is proved a fact of nature there will be shown on the plates a distortion of the rays of the stars so photographed, due to the gravi tational attraction of the sun's light on the stars, Professor Campbell states.
