At the special election of 1919 th people authorized a bond la me of J2.500.000 for the road contingent upon the government appropriating an equal amount of money. The Norblad-Hall bill would remove the contingency. Senator Hall launched the dis cussion, declaring It fitting ana proper that a bill oi tnia impori; ance come up as a special order He characterized the measure as mora Important than any ! other hit win foma before the session. lie said that Oregon has made a mimak in not developing the hlahwar along the coast and that Oregon does not compare favor ably with Washington m mat r- ipect.

POSTPONE Mi Diplomatic Settlement With Japanese to W?it Until New Administration , WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. Set tlement -of diplomatic problems with Japan, especially as arising from the enactment by California of anti-alien land ownership legis lation, will be postponed until the Hardine administration assumes office, it was indicated today by the state department officials. While no formal announcement made, it was intimated by ot ficials that because ot tne snori time left and the long standing character of the problems. would be the part of wisdom not to hasten unduly their final aa fustment merely to conclude treatv under tnis aaminmrauun Officials also said that the recommendations submitted to the reanectlve governments by llolana 3. Morris, ambassador to Japan, and Baron Shldehara. Japanese ambassador, as a result of their informal conversations were not to be interpreted as in the nature of an i agreement. It might be necessary he added, for the am bassadors to resume their conver sations after the two governments had studied the reports. Both Secretary of State Colby and Under Secretary Davis during the last few days have been en gaged in studying Ambassador Morris report, but iney nave noi as yet readied the point of taking up the question with President Wilson. THREE KIllEO IJ crease in Oregon payrolls is tU early possibility of the iron pro duction possibilities of the state. particularly in Columbia county, and the development of those irou ore deposits is the keynote of the manufacturing industry for Ore gon, including steel mills. This was the message that was brought to the ways and means committee of houso and senate last night by H. M. Parks of the Oregon bureau of mines and geol ogy and A. W. Martin an eastern engineer who for 11 months has been making a study of mining I possibilities in Oregon. Project Is launched The uresentations of the two representatives of the bureau were advanced as an argument for the S0 000 appropriation which the bureau is ar.king of the legislature. Mr. Martin said that when called to Oregon he. came with a mind Dreludiced against mining possi bilities here, but that this nau been overcome when he found pos sibilitles In iron to be exceedingly ereat. Within a year, he said, two furnaces will be" operating In Co lumbia county and producing 180 tons of Di Iron a day. Mr. Parks Dlaced articular stress on the de posits in Columbia county 30 miles below- Portland. What tne indus try developed would mean to that city was strongly empnasixea ana Mr. -Martin averred that if the bu- ieau did nothing more than place before the legislature and the peo ple of the state the prospect in Columbia county the a&u.uuu ap Dronriatlon would be warranted. The bureau or mines was ens of a large number of departments represented last night.

Senator Patterson made particular reference to the appear- ance maae oy me twerutr brothers, all young farmers of the Waldo hills district. There were five of them, all ready to talk in favor of lime as fertilizer If called upon. Only two were asked to .speak, and one of them Senator Patterson paid the compliment ot remarking that he had said more for the lime board by relating his practical experience than Dean A. It.

His apnearance was a surprise to the iudience. When he entered the box he was recognized and the audience rose and cheered. He responded by bowing and sat down. He did not arise until the final curtain and th"n was aided to his feet by Mr. Hailing. " The audience cheered snd he again bowed. In leaving, be used his cane and leaned upon the arm of Mr. Ball ing. Mis. Alexander Thompson, for mer member at the bouse, who has been here during the past week, has lost none of her ability to express herself pertinently. forcibly and very much to the point, despite the fact that she has had no opportunity during this section to practice upon the floor of the house. When the ac tion of the house in refusing to discuss. Mrs. Kinney's bill to re quire jury service from women was mentioned in her presence Hhe remarked that it was the old old story, that the men always brought up the same argument when woman's rights were under consideration. It was the same when women of long ago demand ed the right to own property can remember that when we want ed to vote the men said that the best women would noi make use of the prerogative. Now they say that none of the b?st women would serve upon juries. "The men of today are antiquated, an tiquated. I say." Mrs. Thompson did not say so, JOHN ITT U. S.

Over a thousand spectators witnessed the Initial American Legion smoker staged in the arm ory last night.

Ten minutes before tbe gong clanged the armory was packed with ea;er spectators, keyed to bih pitch for a real series of fights.

The treas ury will nay Mr. Harding the Kanie amount it pay? Mr. Wilson $75.000 but Internal revenue officials say Mr. Harding must return nearly one-fourth in In come tax. President Wilson was exempt ed from the Income tax under a supreme court idling ecaus he ranie.into office before enactment of the 1!1S revenue laws, under which taxes were sought to be imposed on the salaries of the president and of federal judges. The supreme court held that the tax could not be collected In the I mue rr inrnml.en t because of the constitutional inhibition .against induction of the salaries of the executive and federal Judges dur ing their term. The solicitor general has ruled that the tax could be collected from officials taking office after the law became effective because that would not bring about any reduction i? salary during the term of office. Revenue bureau officials say Mr. Harding, of course, win De allowed the usual exemption of $2,000 a year for a married man and may claim certain business exemptions. Placing his exemp tion at $2000 yearly, however, they figure his normal income tax at $.". K0. and his surtax at $12.- 940. a total of $18,420. President Wilson is understood to have paid some taxes under the 1918 law before the supreme court ruled on the section which a federal Judge attacked. Tbe house yesterday passed six house bills and one senate bill. Indefinitely postponed two house and two senate blila. tabled one and made an Important forestry conservation bill a apecial order of business for Thursday after noon at 2 o'clock. A Dublie hear ing was also arranged for the bill relating to fire marshals before the revision ot laws committee. Among tbe bills passed were two recommended by the forestry department of the state, provid ing for a special assessment against the timber land for the protection which expense In ex cess of & cents an acre had been Incurred by the state. The other provided for an appeal to the state forestry department for timber owners from the assess ments of timber districts. Senate bill No. 76. giving sheepherders claims priority to all other claims passed, almost unanimously, there being only slight opposition to It. A Wll introduced by-Represen tative Lee railing- for the appoint ment of a commission of promo tion and Industry was tabled at the request of Its anthor. and house bill 145, also by Lee, pro viding for tbe construction of a miniature model ot the Columbia river to be exhibited in Boston, was Indefinitely postponed. House Mil 89 by Johnson, of Jackson county relating to the making of sworn statements, al so was indefinitely postponea. Indefinite postponement was ac corded two senate bills, one regu lating the pay of teachers daring forced vacation of the entire school and another by Senator Ryan defining purposes for which banks may hold real estate. when the Penrose resolution for cloture comes to a vote. The most ardent supporters of cloture and par the bill admitted tonight de- feat was inevitable. Prospects of cloture, however, caused a deluge of amendments, especially after Vice President Marshall had ruled ' that all amendments must be submitted and read before the vote on clo ture, set for 1 o'clock. Senator Townsend. Republican. Michigan, aald "he would call up the postoffice appropriation bill for consideration Immediately af ter the cloture vote. He .criti cized the aenate for wasting time when important legislation was pending. Mr. Townaend'a atate- menta precipitated a heated de bate during which enemies of the bill picked flaws in every item. Although Senator Thomas, Demo crat. Colorado, delivered a lengthy speech against it tbe fall force of tbe attack developed afterward. Senator Harrison. Democrat. Mississippi, answered Senator Townsend with the . accusation, that the .Republican leadership was attempting to gag: and ham string the minority and throw the burdens of tbe bill on the people without a Soil and free dis cussion." KetalLatlow Expected The house ways and meant committee, considering permanent tariff legislation, continued bear ings on a wool tariff. Wool growers' representatives were tha principal witnesses, among them H. J. Hagenbarth of the National Wool Growers' association, who sought a tariff of 44 centa a pound on scoured wool and 1& -centa a pound on wool . in the grease. Senator Simmons of North Carolina presented figures to show that tbe natton would be "taxed" something like $300. 000.000 by the rate of 40 cents a bushel on wheat. He said no body could estimate what it would cost the entire nation on all of the 18 Items protected, but made the g-uess it would be higher than $1,000,000,000. Senator Harrison also charged that supporters of the bill were "not looking at the side of the picture showing the Increased liv ing costs." Retaliation and resentment from Canada and South American countries would follow enact- v ment of the bill, he declared.

Whether you are a physician.' a person practicing the art of Christian Science healing, or any one having the care of' a patient, that is. head of a household, pro prietor of a hotel, proprietor of a rooming house, proprietor of" a dairy or produce farm, superin tendent or manager of a private hospital or sanitarium, a visiting nurse, head of a school, teacher in a common or Sunday school. It is absolutely essential, according to the laws ot Oregon, that you report cases where persons are affected with any communicable disease to the local health officer. Dr. Roy K. Pomeroy. That many have withheld in formation relating to contagious diseases in the home, has been proved conclusively by the health officer. Much of the spread of disease might otherwise have been averted ha1 proper reports been furnished. Then, too, the reports furnish valuable informa tion for use by commissions of Dublic health. In speaking of the neglect of maktnr reports of cases of sick ness known to be contagious. Dr. Pomeror said it was his intention to do that which was within his power to clean up the city in this respect, and asked for the co operation of the public in dolnr so. for though Salem baa been comparatively free from epidem ics this winter, had greater pre caution been taken there would have been fewer rases still Af sickness. Dr. Tomeroy went on to say that whether the patient afflicted with a contafclous dis ease requires a physician or not the case must be reported in the future. Blanks for filling out such reports will be furnished up on application by tbe health ot- flcer.
