kindly to tha enforcement of the
traffic laws, according to Mr. Salts

were ljttle noticed. They were
not much .understood, and were
generally Ignored or even deflea.
But today, the driving public is
being educated by th iui mUa.
to that there are not nearly, as
many flagrant violation, a. t
perly. Chief' Motmt, ot Salem,
THE OREGON STATESMAN.
addS'hts testimony to the tate of
ficer's, that the public is fast be
coming educated and amenable to
the traffic laws, and that safety in
travel Is in easy sight.
I.lrenftc Taken Away
There is nothing that will stop
ignorant driving; though the tak
ing away of driving licenses is
having a powerful effect on the
ignorant and careless chauffeur.
Over in one of the eastern Oregon
towns, a short time ago, a big
Haynes car, driven by a woman,
came 'plunging down the street,
miraculously missing another car
at a street intersection, but driv
ing full tilt into a store building
as the driver set foot on the accel
erator Instad of on the brake. It
drove through the wall, hit a 600
pound steel range and knocked it
nine feet across the room. The
traffic officers took away the
driver's license and the echoes
of the wail over that loat'license
have not even yet died away- in
that part of the state. But the re
vocation of driving licenses is be
lieved to be one of the most ef
fective ways of curbing foolishness
and instilling skill, for one to
drive a car after the revocation of
one's license, might subject the
offender to a fine up to $400 and
a year's imprisonment. j
Heavy Fines Imposed
One fine of $150 was imposed
for speeding, and another of $100;
they don't usually get that much.
but sometimes the judge finds the
conditions so flagrant that he
soaks 'em the limit. A $150 fine
ought to give almost any man
pause especially as another oi
fenge might mean the revocation
of his license.
The traffic officers found one
locality in the state where many
high-powered trucks are used, for
lumbering. Owners had failed
to take out truck licenses, on the
ground that they were operating
only 'on their own forest grounds.1
and not using the public highways
to make them licenseable. The
traffic officer got the county as
sessor, and they swooped down on
the trucksters with the two-horned
dilemma: Either take out licenses
to the state, or pay taxes as prop
erty to the county. The public
got the truck money, in one way
or another; but the truck owners
haven't yet figured out whether to
be glad as citizens or mad as losers
in a clever game.
Most Protect Roads
"The Oregon roads are for
everybody to use, to enjoy; but
there are too many people using
them, and they cost too much
money, for a few to misuse them
and make them unsafe for the
others. We're trying to muke the
Oregon roads the best in the
United States, and we're asking
the public, to help with these, their
own roads."
S. O. S. call for everybody to
help!

Message from Sacramento
To Publisher Precipitates
Long Discussion
WASHINGTON". July 22. The j
Japanese exclusion . question j
broke out in congress again toilaj . ;
Informed that Hawaii was being)
flooded with Japanese, the house!
immigration committee asked the,
state department to turnish tie- '
tails of the "gentlemen's agree-;
ment" of 1908. with respect to;
Japanese control of immigration
to the United State3.
Diplomatic correspondence
leading to the understanding,
which the committee was told
does not apply to Hawaii, never
has been made public, and the
committee decided to investigate.
i McOatdiy Enters Figlu
Despite contentions ot some
members that discussion of the
matter at this time might impede
plans for international conference
on disarmament and Pacific ques
tions, the committee decided to
go into the 13-year-old immigra
tion arrangement after it had
heard J. V. A. McMurray. chief of
the division of Far Kastern af
fairs of the state department and
had received a telegram from V.
S. McClatchy, Sacramento pub
l'sber, dealing with the general
subject of Japanese immigration.
Mr. McMurray told the commit
ted' that Japan had never regard
ed 1 the agreement as applying to
Hawaii and added incidentally
that inasmuch as it was a volun
tary proposition from Japan, this
country was diplomatically bound
until the other party to the
agreement should wthdraw.
Regulation Claimed
His statfment concerning Ha
waii brought from Chairman
Johnson the exclamation that the
time had arrived for a declara
tion that "Hawaii is a part of the
United States with respect to aJ
pah and all others." -
Mr. McMurry said that the Jap
anese government had regulated
the number of laborers to whom
passports to Hawaii were issued
through an informal arrange
ment worked out with the sugar
planters of the islands by the
Japanese consular offices, who
were informed each season of the
number required. Mr. Johnson
interrupted to say that he under
stood the number allowed to go
to Hawaii tach year waa really
below the requirements, a position
taken by Japan In order to pre
vent a break in wages.
Statement Ienied
The statement concerning the
agreement between the employers
and the Japanese governmnt was
immdiately denied by Royal D.
Mead, special labor agent ot the
planters' organization.
From tnai point, everj "-
of the exclusion quesUon was
touched on in some form or other
and members of the committee
freely expressed dissatisfaction
with loopholes which they said

understanding.
Answers Are Guarded
Because of the delicacy of the
subject, Mr. McMurray answered
most questions guardedly and
some were not answered at all. It
was said if the correspondence is
forthcoming, it would be gone ln
tq behind closed doors. Mr. John
son was not at all certain that the
diplomatic exchanges would be
supplied hy the department and
ho planned to confer on that
phase with Secretary Hughes and
other department heads. He
aid. however, that he saw no rea
son why the documents should not
be mad?? available to congress auu
deplored the fact that talf a doz
en or more such understandings
as that entered into with Japan
had not required ratification by
the senate.

was read prior to Mr. McMurray's
statement warned of Impending

Bouquet is Slipped to

A rare floral piece was present
ed to Oscar B. Gingrich at the
close of his solo at the concert in
Willson park last nsght. The artisr
tic masterpiece, made by C. B.
Clancy, local florist, was present
ed to the artist by Mayor George
Halvorsen on behalf of his fellow
Cherrians to the strains of a fun
eral march.
It was in the form of a rosette,
formed of carrots, pea vines, and
other greenery. The delicate pe
tals of the rose were formed of
garlic and the entire surmounted
by pretzel buds. With strong
words appropriate to the occasion.
Mayor Halvorsen presented the
bouquet. Mr. Gingrich responded
timidly with a few words of appre
ciation and then sang "Old Black
Joe" at the request of Mr. Hal
vorsen. The local artists' interpre
tation of "O'Sole Mi'o" and "The
Spanish Serenade" from "La Pal

large audience. His stirring ren
dition of the Italian chorus was
worthy of the highest comment
and his full baritone voice thril

NEW YORK. July 22. Five of
the largest and finest steamships
in the United States merchant ma

representatives of the United

deputy United States marshal were
left on each ship.
Failure of the steamship com
pany to pay rentals which in the
aggregate up to the time of the
seizure, would amount to about
$400,000 was given as the princi

WASHINGTON". July 22.
President Harding will submit to
congress next Tuesday the admin
istration plan for funding the
debts of the railroads to the gov
ernment and meeting without ad
ditional appropriations the claims
of the roads growing out of fed
eral control.
An understanding has beeni
reached between the roads and the'
administration, it was learned to
day to facilitate speedy settle
ment of the claims of th carrirs
without any new arrangement or
modification of the war-time con
tracts with the government.
Act Gives Authority
Authority to fund the debts of
the roads, it was explained, is
given the president by the trans-
portaton act, but it was deemed
advisable to acquaint the congress
with the methods under consider
ation. After three weeks of negoti
ations, the basis upon which the
railroads' claim would bo quickly
met, was said to : have reached
through the roads acceeding to
the administration's request to
waive claims for ''inefficiency of
labor" in work done on the lines
by the government before return
ing them to private control.
KMimaiea Are Iirge.
Debts of the roads to the giv
ernment have been generally esti
mated at about $500,000,000
while their claims have been put
at various figures. Director Gen
eral of Railroads Davis, in a re
cent estimte to congress declared
that while all the claims were not
in, it was thought the total would
be $1,250,000,00(1 which if set
tled on the basis of about 40 per
cent as heretofore, would approx
imate $500,000,000.
